New Hair Loss Product: Hairsil

[Tracy C]

There are other ingredients, natural ones, also backed by real studies but sadly less popular...

They are unpopular because they do not work. Is is that simple. There is nothing more to it than that. There is no conspiracy. They simply do not work. Those "studies" you keep throwing around do not hold up to legitimate medical scrutiny. If you persist on this foolish course, you will eventually find that out for yourself.

There are plenty natural DHT inhibitors you should give a go if you're not willing to experiment with a drug that ruins other parts of people's lives.

Exactly. And don't let anyone tell You that are no studies about natural DHT inhibitors. There are plenty of studies - it just the propecia promoters dislike even the very thought of natural competition. I myself am using a number of the ingredients from the studies listed below and fingers crossed in the months to follow I'd very much like to be the proof that that there is a safe, side effects free alternative...

The problem is none of those "natural" DHT inhibitors do anything meaningful in any way to slow down, stop or reverse hereditary hair loss. None of them. Not a single one. If they actually did, they would likely have the same side effect profile as Finasteride.

And don't let anyone tell You that are no studies about natural DHT inhibitors. There are plenty of studies - it just the propecia promoters dislike even the very thought of natural competition.

This very thick line of BS you keep dishing out is getting really old. You are in the wrong forum. This forum is called "The Bald Truth". The truth is these "natural" remedies do not work. They never have worked and they likely never will work. Not a single one of those studies you keep peddling can stand up to legitimate scrutiny. You will never find legitimate evidence of anyone who has ever been able to slow down, stop or reverse hereditary hair loss with those so called "natural" remedies. You need to find another forum to peddle the BS you want to keep peddling. This is not the place for it. This forum is to help people find solutions that are proven to work.

This is so true. With hair loss treatments, whether on the early or advanced stages, if it's unpopular...then it is unpopular for a reason.

Very nicely posted Tracy!
