Before Rambo was trolled out, he mentioned 3 key items:
1) Calcipotriol
2) Semen (Growth factor)
3) Capsaicin
Any merit to these treatments and in regards to wounding?

50 bucks for 5 micrograms. Apparently one doesn't need a whole lot of it to produce hair after wounding. 5mcg should suffice for a small test area. If it works in a small spot, then we know we need to buy more and apply wherever necessary.
Seeing how the skin is wounded and dermarolled, it should penetrate skin to some degree. Perhaps also exfoliating as well as shampooing (getting rid of sebum) would work.
I think we can move on from the PrincessRambo lovefest. He's clearly attention-seeking with his big "I'M LEAVING" charade. If he doesn't want to contribute any more then fine. His posts were interesting at times, but we move on and keep on rollin'.

I'm on week 9 of rolling with the 1.5mm needles & minoxidil. I believe I'm seeing more thick, darker hairs coming through. There seems to be a lot of new vellus growth too, but still too early to tell exactly how effective this method can be. I'm going to keep at it, following the study to a T. Hope you guys start seeing good results.

Seems like castor oil is worth a shot...it apparently binds to the EP3 receptor, which is the same receptor that PGE2 works on to increase FGF9. There are quite a few anecdotal reports from women about it helping grow hair faster and/or thicker.
Castor oil is like putting syrup in the head, it's that thick.
Squeegee, you are probably a good candidate for fgf9, why don't you give it a try.
So it truly was the Cetirizine of this year. Until the next bogus homemade cure then.
Why do you say that? It sounds like most people who are doing it are getting positive results.

I am on vacation with wifey and kid for a few days and I have limited access to the internet, so please stop the backstabbing and pitiful attacks.CHROMEO said:I think we can move on from the PrincessRambo lovefest. He's clearly attention-seeking with his big "I'M LEAVING" charade.

That was uncalled for, I couldn’t care less about posting anything if I thought it didn’t help people, I created an account here back in February when I finally decided to tackle my hair loss, I created a thread on calcipotriol use for curing a korean kid with alopecia areata and posted in that thread for a few weeks, I didn’t post anything for months and barely even glanced at forums, I would just randomly check here and there to see if something new was happening as far as hair loss research goes, until the dermaroller study was posted and hellouser posted the amazing second post in the thread linking to Cotsarelis and wounding, which to be honest I wasn’t very familiar with. That post got me curious and for the first time in a while, regarding all my previous research about hair loss, I knew there was potentially something big in the working.
I have created the semen thread after doing tons of research about its content and potential relevance to hair loss, I just shared my findings, I never asked anybody to even think about using it. It was all pure sharing of scientific data.
In any case, after the dermaroller thread stalled and it became almost childish and useless to post anything without personally being attacked by random strangers, I finally made up my mind to delete all my forums posts and ask the admins to delete my account, quit the forums all together after pouring so much content and dedicated so much time to it.
You will notice, I almost haven’t posted anything anywhere else ever in the forums except the experimental sections, my post count was also low comparatively and all concentrated in a specific area of the forum. I don’t have time wasting about “Am I balding?”, or “My ballz are shrinking because I took 1 picogram of finasteride” or what not kind of thread, I simply don’t care about opinions and random chit chats in forums. I received PMs from many nice gents who asked me to stay and that all our contributions was worthy and valuable. So I decide to stick around and share anything valuable I find. There are a lot of very nice and knowledgeable peeps here who always reply and behave like extremely mature gentlemen in forums (odabalk, hellouser, Jacob, benjt etc.) and that makes it all the more worthy.
princess (or someone else who knows where it is) when you get a chance will you please link to that graph suggesting we should wound later? i can't find it. thanks buddy, glad you are sticking around.
