Sodium Thiosulfate: A Way To Reset Scalp Calcification?

[Seuxin]

I bought some vitamin k to try for scalp calcification, not sure if it will do anything but it was cheap.

Plenty of people use K2 with minoxidil, dutasteride, needling.....

Yes i have read about it before, never tried it though so unsure how effective it is, not really seen many good results from other people either. Like i said though, was cheap so worth a try.

Using k2 with d3 is important ( not for hairloss but for you whole body)

Agreed; but neither study applied topically:

'[...] we hypothesize that IVSTS [intravenous sodium thiosulfate] plays a role in abnormal bone density in calciphylaxis patients.'


'Sodium thiosulfate administration
Sodium thiosulfate (Köhler Chemie GmbH, Alsbach, Germany) was diluted 1:3 with normal (0.9%) saline and given i.p. [intraperitoneal injection] three times a week in a dosage derived from STS usage in humans (0.4 g/kg body weight).15,16 STS treatment was started after 2 weeks of adenine diet in the ET group and after 4 weeks in the LT group, resulting in a total treatment duration of 8 and 6 weeks, respectively (Figure 1). NUC animals were also treated with STS for 6 weeks. Control (UC) animals received normal saline i.p.'

Sodium thiosulfate prevents vascular calcifications in uremic rats - PubMed

Accelerated vascular calcification is a severe complication of chronic kidney disease contributing to high morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. Sodium thiosulfate is increasingly used for the treatment of soft tissue calcifications in calciphylaxis...

I find these things quite a worry too:

'So-called “hardening of the arteries” leads to raised blood pressure and ultimately is a significant risk factor for thrombosis and cardiac disease. The hardening process is in fact calcification of the blood vessel tissues with the same mineral form as in bone, a calcium phosphate related to mineral hydroxyapatite.'

Great; we might go mad with holes in our heads.
Suddenly impotence doesn't seem so bad.

So basically it's minoxidil but even worse.

So basically it's minoxidil but even worse.

Or even the new Benoxaprofen.

FYI, I've just rubbed this folly in (with a disposable nitrile glove) to a small region of my hairline.

1 gram small STS crystals, dissolved in 9 grams cold cream (Pond's brand); very thoroughly mixed and weighed on a digital precision scale.

I've yet to decide upon an application frequency ... maybe twice a week to begin with.
