Snake oil?

[Dank]

Just read through this entire thread. There are some great things being said here by both camps. Finasteride is a fantastic drug and I was optimistic about starting it. Upon using it for 5 months, I began developing some nasty sides last month and I've decided it's time to get off. Of course, I understand that any MPB regimen without a DHT-inhibitor is useless; therefore, I am considering turning to the DHT-blockers proposed by hairloss-research.org (for example, see http://www.hairloss-research.org/Upd...cktea7-09.html). The other inhibitors he proposes are Super Absorbable Soy Isoflavones, Green Tea Extract, and Natural Prostate Formula.

This is an honest, innocent inquiry geared to those in this thread that have dismissed natural treatments on the grounds of there not being enough scientific research. Just click on the above link...is that research? Is that scientific enough? Click around on the site (if you haven't already); is that credible research? This is an honest question.

Again, I want to stay on fin because I KNOW it works for SO many people, but, it's not for everyone, and my body has been telling me it's not for me. As I said, I'm considering natural DHT-inhibitors but I want to ensure that the research done here is legitimate and scientific. How do we feel about this site?

Thanks, everyone!

Managed to find a better old picture from last year.
Took a nasty close up picture on my crown.

Had to wet the hair because itīs light blond now, and split it to show that there is still regrowth.

Good luck for everyone of you, and that you had to put up with a snowflake (wannabe) like me.
I really hope you will find your solution either by hair or just shaving it off since i donīt give a f..k (sorry) about our shallow society, but i still have to listen to my wife anyway.

I hope you got my point at least that i think hair (regrowth) is in symbiosis with health, and not drugs to handle a disease.

Sorry i forgot.
No supplements for me either, even if it is snake oil or drugs.

I zoomed in the picture taken the 16th last month and a new one today on my temple.
Highlighted the areas where my new hair starting to show on the old one, and the new one (today) with my dark dead hair showing under the new hair.

The new one is during day time under light and the other probably (afternoon iīm assuming due to the darker background) under light.
The reason i joined this forum was because my sudden hair regrowth but i had no clue that this was such a delicate matter.

I should have read more posts on this forum and taken another approach , before posting.
I donīt have permission to shave my head again (it became a must for me for convenience) , since my wife suddenly became shallow because iīm growing new hair
But i do have a better understanding now, how forums like this works due to our society.

I am not trying to be negative, but you are not really slick bald in any of your "before" pics. Your temples are recessed, but it appears you have coverage everywhere else. Can you post current pics from the same angle as the "before" pics? Temple regrowth would be a huge gain.

I just took a pictures with normal light.
You have already decided not to not see any difference, based on what iīm using, so it wouldn't matter if i had a full set of hair.
Iīm going to use the bathroom as usual, but it really docent matter.

The reason why i posted also was for those that already use Fin or minox etc... to maybe try it out, and use it with their current treatment as a boost.
Like i said hair loss is in both sides of my family and no i didn't go to the doctor, because itīs hair loss and not something that i have to treat or cure.

I dont remember saying that anywhere or saying anything that would imply that. Good luck I guess then with your method.

New pictures.

Whats the point with this forum, when everything gets trashed if itīs not Fin or minox (auto reply would be just fine) for newbies.
We dream of the next upcoming magical pill or cure, that our friendly scientist or doctor creates for us.
It is easy to blame genetics and believe my itīs pure gold for the industry, too keep us on the drugs and not think for our selves.

I used to take multivitamin pills before, because it was so easy to get all my needs in a one single pill!
Our bodies think otherwise and i (we) noticed that big time when we started juicing fresh greens instead due to the enzyme breakdown.

I have no clue if it is my topical home made snake oil, or my intake that has the most impact but iīm going to keep on them both
because for me hair regrowth is in symbiosis with health and not the opposite.

You went to a doctor and got a diagnosis that you had MPB to begin with and not something else like diet related issues? Its hard to tell anything in pictures with different lighting, backgrounds, and stuff. You should find one consistent place, lighting, and everything for all pictures otherwise its like an infomercial where they have the dude grow his hair longer and smile to show he has more hair when its clearly not true.
