NEW STUDY 2013 on BLACK TEA and Hairloss!

[ryan555]

In many cases it doesn't hurt to try natural alternatives. For instance Valium (diazepam) has been compared to the natural alternative,Valerian Root. It's believed that both Valium and Valerian Root work by increasing gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain thereby reducing anxiety. My wife bought some Valerian Root years ago and it does have a calming effect. You just have to get past the odor. The capsules smell like dirty socks.

In Georgia we have a weed some people eat that grows everywhere in the Spring and Summer called the Poke Weed. It's so high in Vitamin A, it's recommended you boil it three times to avoid Vitamin A overdose. American Indians have traditionally used the leaves of the plant as a wound dressing. One Website I found warns against eating the plant because there is a naturally occurring toxic chemical in the leaves.

Needless to say, there's a lot of conflicting information to sift through on the Internet.

Identical twin studies help in the evaluation of hair loss meds and treatments. As far as black tea extract... who knows, it may help a little. Every proven med and topical seems to help just a little and that's a source of frustration for men with MPB.

Valium is actually synthesize from Valerian.

As far as black tea is concerned, I have a lot of friends in England, most in their 30's, who drink about 10 cups of black tea a day. Just as my Stateside friends, half of them are bald or balding.

Yeah I dont really buy into this either. Its too biased since they are trying to sell you this supplement, and until we see better studies in humans getting same results its an insult to compare this to finasteride. Evidence is where the supplements always seem to fall short

Google is working to reduce the deceptive promotion of ineffective products. Fake five-star ratings are one area of Google's focus. A scamster for instance could put together an offshore Internet business selling a hair loss cure made from lizard tail extract. The scamster hires hundreds of writers to saturate search results with glowing product reviews. The unfavorable reviews take months to filter in. The scamster's goal is to make as much money as possible within the window of opportunity created.

On the opposite end, a great product or service can get blasted by unfavorable reviews from an unscrupulous competitor.
