I reversed my hair loss without Finasteride

[Jay07]

Sam, do you think it could be mainly the minoxidil that's cause your success. Or do you think you can do it without?

[irishpotatoes322]

The funny thing is that if all that crap works then you could have simplified your routine greatly and processed a whole lot less pills through your body if you just took the finasteride to begin with. Not to mention if your hair loss is better I bet your hormone profile looks similar to finasteride anyways. Your just lowering DHT in a different way its not some magical thing your taking tons of stuff that MIGHT help with DHT in some way.

apparently these natural alternatives lower DHT via a different (safer) mechanism, whereas fin does it on a cellular level

that is according to the dude over at http://www.hairloss-research.org/updates.html I personally have no idea

You can barely tell I have HL now, it's almost reversed. I never had very aggressive HL

Wow. This is a great story.

Again I have to ask, is Emu oil not gross to apply to your scalp?
Does it ever cause breakouts of any kind on the skin?

No, it actually should not cause ANY breakouts, it's actually great for the skin. It actually goes RIGHT through the skin.

Give it a shot, it can get annoying so that why i put it on before i go to bed.

Yes, you are correct. Let me give you an example to better understand my point. Yes, it's obviously genetic, however, you can trigger and aggravate the HL gene by doing certain things. Like smoking, we all have potential to get cancer but smoking will aggravate and expedite the process and therefor give you cancer.

So, although you have the HL gene, it is possible to do the right moves and save your hair, possibly for a lifetime.

You are completeley ignorant about what causes baldness!

It is a GENETIC predisposition, which you cannot change through lifestyle choices.

I get personally offended when people on forums, or in real life, imply that my baldness is due to the fact that I "must be lazy" and have "let myself go". Especially considering that lots of bald people keep themselves in great shape (including myself).

Its like saying that a person with cystic fibrosis should take some wheatgrass and coconut oil extract, its ridiculous.

You are likely correct. I'll take Fin if all this fails. I'm scared of permanent side effects, have not really heard of such in natural supplements.

That's why i'm doing all this.

3) Eating healthy, you are what you eat. I think people will begin to learn that food plays a greater role than we think and it requires a much greater discipline to implement.

Emu oil directly on the scalp? Is this not very gross to apply?

[Recederrr]

Hey, hope all is well. I read that it's the root that has the real effect. Nettle leaf if good for the hair but not in a direct hair loss kind of way. I take both bc, why not.

But its nettle root you want. Inhibits DHT and Inhibits Aromatase, that is why I find nettle root important.

Thanks for the reply. How are you getting on with your regime? Still having good results?

Is this okay for nettle root? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swanson-Stin...A2VZT9NOXZRONS

Don't want to but the wrong thing!

[FlightTL]

* Nettle Leaf
* Nettle Root
* Emu Oil (Has done MIRACLES since day one, baby hairs in < 2 weeks)
* Nizoral
* Biotin
* Beta Sitosterol
* Pygeum Africanum
* 5% Minox (liquid, then foam. Switch bc of dandruff)
* Taurine
* Grapeseed extract
* Pomegranate extract
* Black Tea Extract (I think this is serving me well!, not 100% sure yet)
* Black tea, Green tea, White tea complex

* Slowly adapting a LOW GI Diet (I think this is serving me well, through several self conducted tests)

That's a lot of stuff....Is it safe?

Great thread, I remember reading this a while ago and learning about emu oil for the first time. How's that black tea extract working out for you? If I choose to stop finasteride again, black tea extract is what I plan on replacing it with based on that study on mice. Also, could you pm me the nettle root you use? I'm not sure if zinc will be enough to keep my estrogen levels down while on fin, so I think I'll try the nettle. Thanks~
