    After the suspension of sales in 1982 the toxic effects which benoxaprofen might have on humans were looked into more closely. The fairly planar compound of benoxaprofen seems to be hepa- and phototoxic in the human body.

    With the risk of death, even a small risk, I doubt there will be many research volunteers in an attempt to learn how this drug reverses Male Pattern baldness (in some cases). It's an anti-inflammatory. Corticosteroids are as well and often have a listed side effect of excessive hair growth. But reversing MPB? This drug must have another action that would be of great value to uncover.

    Yes the drug is dangerous, I just gave this as a example that MPB is very well reversible. We just don't have a clue how to do it. Here is the paper; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...498062/?page=1. Also as you see it is very miraculous regrowth that developed under specific conditions. Such cases are extremely rare, but they do show that AGA very well is reversible. Ahh well one day..

    looks like a strong anti inflammatory might do it. scientist should really look into it more. maybe this benoxaprofen could have worked in a topical form. minoxidil had the same effect orally then they looked into it topically. interestingly benoxaprofen treats arthritis and the drug ;at yale they used on the guy that has grown all his hair (alopecia areata opatient); is an arthritis drug. in the case of benoxaprofen(also arthritis drug) it reversed MPB. WOW this looks promising really. someone should look into this more.

    I appreciate you posting that. The fact that MPB can be reversible is very encouraging.

    I think it would be worthwhile to study hypertrichosis (AKA Ambras syndrome) which is basically; way above normal hair growth all over the body.Click image for larger version

    Bless her heart. She is a celebrity at school and she likes the way she looks. I think most people would rather be overly hairy than bald.

    Cotsarelis or another researcher should study Supatra and look into the reasons Benoxaprofen can reverse MPB in some instances. This research could make something jump out, connecting the dots with existing research that could be key to a very effective treatment of androgenic alopecia.

    What? Why? He'd be wasting his time trying to figure out stuff he's clueless about and then expect him to run clinical trials for whatever the process would require for another 10 years.

    Screw that.

    It's interesting that you note this. I completely agree with you on this. These pathways are extremely interesting too, they hold pretty much the blue-print for everything. A.M christiano holds this scientific approach somewhat through gene analysis and she is making huge steps, too bad she is investigating other hairloss diseases LOL.

    Example benoxaproven;



    Comes down to AR> COX2 > PGD2 pathway. It is still very a-specific. But they should start connecting the goddamn dots to get a better understanding. As einstein said everything should be as simple, but not simpler.

    Just hit play, I've already queued the relevant part for you.

    Thanks I did not know it all starts with arachidonic acid, interesting. I just looked up diagram of parsh etc and it's incorporated too, pretty funny. Check left side bottom arachonic acid > lipoxygenase enzyme. Damn i'm so curious what the future will bring.

    Question:

    Is the arrector pili muscle required for hair growth? All it does (so far as we know) is contract when we're cold to keep the body warm which causes goosebumps. There's been some talk that the disconnect between the APM and the follicle means irreversible hair loss. But so what? Would it not reconnect itself if the follicle were to return to its normal large size? For instance, hair transplants prove that its capable of connecting itself to the APM, unless the grafts already contain the APM?

    Is it any surprise that the connection between the two is lost since the follicle shrinks over time?
    I doubt the muscle is required for growth. Hair grows all over our body, including fat. I think that's paranoia HELL lol

    Not all hair is the same though.
