Donor area is just perfect. No signs at all of anything.
Recipient area is more difficult to asses, would you mind telling us what you see?, did you already started to see some growth?, or still too early?. I always wonder if the time to wait and see some transplanted beard grafts regrowth after shedding is the same as with scalp hair.
It is going to be for sure another successful step in your journey, nobody better than you to know that you were in the best hands to get it.
Thanks for all your posts!.

It’s only 5 weeks after my last procedure. I got a lot of crap for all these small procedures over the last 5 years or so and some derogatory comments along the way by those who really have the agenda but it’s all been worth it. The pictures I believe tell the story better and I’m looking towards continued improvement. I feel very strongly about all the harm that goes on in this industry and I am very grateful that I found the right clinic for me. I was looking at my before pictures which I rarely do and wow I have come a long way.

4th procedure 1 month update. Outside of a few ingrown hairs which I normally get between weeks 2-6 in the beard area everything is healing very well.

Sure the short version cholesterol aids greatly in wound healing and is needed by the body to produce vitamin d best derived from sunshine which also aids greatly in wound healing.
Of course it's not as simple as eating a lot of eggs if you are experiencing arterial inflammation from eating a bad diet in fact it could be counter productive.
You don't necessarily need to eat eggs as organ meats provide plenty of cholesterol.
Carnivores usually go for the gut and devour the organs first and leave the flesh for last or leave it to the scavengers to fight over.............lol.................Leave a comment:

I prefer berries usually blueberries.
The egg thing I have been doing for a very long time and I have done extensive reading on the cholesterol issue meaning actual books so my knowledge base in that area would be different than most.
Most would fear eating too much cholesterol and I can understand that. One can only make decisions with the information that they have very much like hair transplantation. If one has limited knowledge than their decisions will reflect their choice unless they are lucky.Leave a comment:

Good deal topcat, most of what your saying I can agree with experience 100 percent. My hair is thicker when eating eggs, I feel stronger than ever eating how you and Vince Goronda have suggested. I here ya on not wanting to drink Milk also, it hits me like a brick, I tried some raw Milk and Half and Half as Vince's books suggest but I still feel less energized, I have more fat almost instantly it seems as well and I just feel sloppier in general, maybe I just don't respond to Milk well or maybe I just wasn't hitting the gym hard enough that week, IDK. I here what you are saying about cholesterol as well, if it is so bad why didn't the Golden Age of bodybuilders have health problems when they ate 36 eggs a day? It is tough for people to know though, they are taught to trust doctors, that is why what you are doing is so great. What are some good sources of Vitamin C would you recommend? Should you eat it together with your eggs, or just a steady diet of a good deal of Vitamin C and eggs?Leave a comment:

Anyone that read Life Extension by Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw when it came out in 1983 learned that eggs are high in Cysteine an amino acid that speeds the growth of hair when combined with Vitamin C. Eggs are very high in sulfur and sulfur is associated with faster hair and nail growth which is the theory behind MSM but much better to actually eat the food and not some processed powder in my opinion. Chicken gelatin also aids in hair growth and strength but more importantly the bone broth is very high in glucosaminoglycans which help heal and repair connective tissue. Lots of old people out there with joint problems which are easily prevented with food, and I did say prevented not cured as everyone is looking for the cure. Food prevents disease and it does not necessarily cure it once your body is a complete wreck. Garlic is also high in sulfur and a natural antibiotic. I like to combine it with Tumeric when cooking.
The cholesterol in eggs or in any foods high in cholesterol are very good for wound healing. It’s also not an old wives tale that the strength athletes of the past before steroids came on the scene regularly ate organ meats such as liver. And what is liver high in…………….cholesterol.Leave a comment:

Hey Topcat, didn't know you were going in again so soon, looking great though...What is the deal with chicken soup? It helps you heal better? I think eating a bunch of eggs has helped thicken up my hair a little bit as when I eat 12-15 eggs a day for a week say, my hair seems thick, and when I eat say 4 eggs or so it seems a lot less thick, is it known to thicken hair? Your the man topcat and all these wise asses out their should listen up and take heed to your wisdom brotha, good luck with your growth!Leave a comment:

I just read a study yesterday that states UC-II was discovered when a team of scientists at the University of Nebraska found that chicken soup prevented mobilization of immune system cells to sites of inflammation. Upon further analysis they discovered it was not the vegetables, but a component of chicken broth itself that exerted this anti-inflammatory activity. “ The results have been remarkable”
You would think that they just discovered that the world was round. I posted this picture several months back as whole chicken soup should be part of any program where one would like the body to heal faster. It is not an old wives tale and it has been handed down from generation to generation because of empirical evidence unfortunately you can’t make money for chicken soup.
Below is a picture of the gelatinous mass which comes from bones and joints of the chicken. You can also take a peek into my medicine cabinet but you can’t see it all.

Glad to be back home in Chicago. Of course traveling certainly can add to stress of having a procedure but for me here is the payoff. When I am in that sitting area of BHR the day of my visit regardless of what is going on around me the most important thing is I have absolutely no concern about my safety, welfare and the continuing improvement I know I will achieve in 12 months time. The doctor’s hands are what really matters and anything else takes on very little importance.
Yeah I like to post about my experience and my thoughts about the industry at times. It’s my big middle finger to all the dishonest people in the world many of whom are drawn to an industry that caters to the desperate balding guy.
What is also nice about going to Brussels is I know just about where everything is in the area so I can walk down to the Carrefour and pick up a nice roast chicken along with all those eggs. The clinic is right across the street from the hotel and plenty of guys walking around in the lobby with black bandanas on so I feel right at home. I always respect the privacy of others but it’s also always nice to chat it up with other patients as we share our experiences.
After seeing one patient down by the breakfast buffet that had some major work done by all visual indications, what was even more interesting is he did not cover his head at all. That for me was really impressive just to see someone feel so confident that he didn’t feel the need to hide anything. It actually inspired me not to wear a hat back to Chicago. It was a bit awkward at first but then I just blended right in with the rest of the travelers. Coming into customs at O’Hare airport with a massive amount of people in winding lines I did get a couple of looks at the very high shaved sides of my head but it was more about the haircut as I am pretty much all healed up. Hey at least I have hair up on the top now……….lol…………Leave a comment:
