Hellouser's RU Log (with Minox, CB Nizoral and Saw Palmetto)

[Boldy]

Was this guy using any growth factors such as minox along side RU?

I am currently about the 7th week mark and not seeing these results, I loke more like the 2nd picture. I realise it may take longer for some but also wonder should I add a growth factor

His quote on HLH:

regimen:
RU 50mg
min sulfate 70mg

Inflammation issue:
-only tretinoin (from wk.0 to wk.4) give me lot on inflammation due to increasin tgf-beta
-so i added hydrocortisone (from wk.4 to wk.7), great results with inflammation but my body is very week after using betamethasone
-cant handle any amount of corticosteroids so switched to tretinoin+EMU+essential oils thats why there is some redness on scalp on wk.10 but i think inflammation is under control now. Anyway corticosteroids works wonder on inflammation it is hard to replace ;/
-thinking also about adding ~10-20% saw palmetto topically (it give some benefits 2-3 years ago).

10wk results

Does that mean you have lost ground as this person did in the second picture? Anyone understand what the round dark circles are on his head and why they move around in each picture?

I'm not sure, but I guess it's inflammation. I experienced something similar when I started out with a topical containing some anti-androgens.

So far I would say yes. Although there is usually an initial shed with any product that works. My fear is the Ru is getting caught in my hair and not getting to the problem areas, as my hair is longish.

I use k&b which is supposed to improve efficacy. It creates a film after applying so the RU cant be spread by people touching your hair. I don't know how long that film lasts and I don't wash in between each application so the film may be blocking the RU on the next application.

I would hope this film lasts no more the 12 hrs but it could be hardening on the scalp? I am not seeing and flaky residue so it doesn't seem like it is but I can't honestly say either way.

= Minoxidil Sulphate, stronger than normal minox, you can buy it in powder form, from ebay , and china etc, its very cheap..

What vehicle is best suited to this? Also is there a reliable source such as Kane to avoid bad batches?

[Hairismylife]

Not sure, but something tells me 'no' because I don't see a whole lot of growth from Finasteride on its own. I would imagine it'd be the same for RU and CB on their own. Should work for halting hairloss. I think Minox should be in EVERY regimen for regrowth.

Hellouser, can u teach me how to prepare CB and where did you get it? Kane?

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

any news on cb Hell?

Whoops, I meant on CB since April/May, not January. I was on 100mg of RU from February-April

Is PG necessary to mix with RU?

I have just been mixing with everclear so far and was under the impression that PG was optional

But if it limits the effectiveness without PG then I will add it in

Not absolutely necessary but it increased effectiveness because it reduces running and prevents the alcohol from evaporating faster. Alcohol just evaporates too fast without it. That's the reason why topical medications aren't as effective as ingested ones.

What happened to TracyC?

[Jcm800]

What happened to TracyC?

Prob got tired of the abuse?

[clandestine]

Prob got tired of the abuse?

Truth.

All she would do is tout fin and minox, though. Like a broken record, really.
We're in search of better solutions.

Hey, third day of RU application at 25 mg, does anyone else get kind of strong headaches pretty much immediately upon application? When I used minox liquid with ppg, I did get fairly severe flaking so maybe I'm allergic to the propylene glycol (although no flaking now with RU). Could it be the ethanol, the ppg, or the RU?
