JAK Inhibitors and Hair Loss - Dr. Angela Christiano Interview

[Anton5redA]

I bought some emu oil 8 days ago and will try to dissolve tofacitinib in it. I've increased the Tofacitinib to 0.5 Gram per 50 mL of solution. The Emu oil stays put for many hours and I apply it after rubbing in the first two solutions. I apply the Ketoconazole every other day on top of Emu oil. There are tiny bumps on my scalp now, they ay be inflammatory, but do not not itch at all and are way too tiny to be pimples. They may be representative of hair follivles ramping-up thickness of the lanugo hair on my scalp (hopefully).
The whole mix is on my scalp for 16 hours out of the day, I wash it off at bedtime so that my pillow case stays clean.

It has been 2 months since I have started doing something about my baldness.
My current improved Regimen is as follows:
1 - Tofacitinib 360mg+ 60mL Atraric acid Pygeum Africanum and Trigonelline Fenugreek Extract (stock is 200mL 90% EtOH from 465G and 60G respectively)+ Oleuropein and Green Tea extracts 2 caps of each + Brevillin A from Litsea Glutinosa (Jinda Mee) 24mL+ 12mL Castor oil + 24mL Propylene Glycol +24mL Emu oil = (120mL total of 0.3% Tofacitinib solution (Global application after washing head with soap Twice Daily application).

2 -(Morr-F) Minox 3% + Finasteride 0.1% = 30mL (not on forehead applied BID)

3 - 2% Ketoconazole cream ( in petrolatum, silfur dioxide, Propylene Glycol etc) Every 2nd day once AM Global application.

Results of 2 months trying different concoctions are as follows: Scalp no longer itches, like at all. I now realize fully that the itching that I have had since the age of 17 or so was pathological.
Also: Fine colorless hair have doubled in density and the dark terminal hair have increased in density by about 10-15% from baseline 2 months ago, in a doughnut-like distribution, not so much on the forehead though.
Strange developments were that when the terminal hair sprout, they are preceded by tiny, tenting bumps (non-inflammatory).
Pictures from April and June 2016 are to follow if I figure out how to post the Iphone-3 photos.
(What can I do, that device is refusing to quit working since I got it in 2009)

Can you tell me please where you get the Litsea Glutinosa from?

[Anton5redA]

I bought it on Ebay, it is caled "Jinda": Jinda Herb Herbal Hair Renew Lotion Tonic Reduce hair loss bald spots Natural for $12 total.
It's a bluish liquid that smells mildly pleasant.

It has been 2.5 months of Tofacitinib topical application and I took a picture of my hair after cutting it to the same length as before. People who have had no idea that I am treating baldness have commented that my hair looks thicker than before. "it looks like there is more, you know, stuff on your head now" said my vertically-challenged coworker two days ago.

If you are using minox and other compounds in your treatment is difficult to know if what works (if it works) is the tofacitinib or other compounds.
It is not a valid reason for jak inhibitors work .

Moreover, thanks for the images.

Hi Anton,

Thank you for testing and sharing! I'm not sure I see change at the 2.5 month mark with the product/regimen you're on. What is the suggested duration before results are seen?

Is that quantity enough for the Tofacitinib? The study I read, they mixed it with DMSO. Probably to help absorption. Did you?
they were using 3% - what percentage is your 500 mg in 50 ml?
