Trx2?

[CVAZBAR]

I stopped taking dutasteride because:

1) It's expensive;
2) It didn't work at all after taking it for two years;
3) It's apparently bad for the liver (no idea if this is true);
4) Because it isn't sold as a hair loss drug, it's hard to get hold of and difficult to ascertain whether the product received is real or not.

'Nut pain' is a symptom I've heard of. If you're prepared to have 'nut pain' to save your hair, you might as well castrate yourself!

I also thought long and hard about the benefits of taking anti-androgens and decided I was treating a symptom rather than a cause. I take the view that taking anti-androgens for hair loss is, in the long term, about as effective as putting a plaster (bandaid for the yanks) on a haemophiliac.
I base this theory on the idea that all men produce DHT and most hair is not susceptible to it. After all, we don't all become Pierluigi Collina because of DHT. The problem is not DHT; it's our scalp hair's reaction to it.

Thus, any cure for hair loss will treat our scalp hair's problem, not the DHT
itself. Now, I'm no scientist, but I base my theory on experience. Blocking androgens never worked for me.

I completely agree. Dht has always been with us. It is our hair that has the problem. I just wanted to try it since my doc told me about it. I will take it step by step. Thanks

Right there with you on the DHT/AA theory.

Also, the occassional shed is quite normal, I have days when I'll lose 25-30 hairs, then not even 10 for two-three washes straight.

Good things are afoot

I just wish this product had come out early in 2003. I'm increasingly confident in it's use to prevent baldness and also in its ability to regrow some hair. I just don't know how much.

Also PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), expensive as it may be, is yet to be proven effective on a large scale. Some doctors (Up in the six digits) offer this service to speed up healing/growth after an HT. Again, there is no long-term data on it's effectiveness, making it a desperate rich man's ACell so to speak.

Okay, an update. This stuff is working, without a shadow of a doubt. Don't put the champagne on ice just yet, because I've only been taking TRX2 for four weeks and the results are minimal, but there are a handful of darkening, small hairs at the front and my hair is less dry and straw like. Whether this develops into anything more substantial remains to be seen but this product has already done what eight years of minoxidil, propecia, avodart, Revivogen, Procerin, Thymuskin (yeah, I really was stupid enough to use this stuff), saw palmetto, nettle root and ketokonazole couldn't.

For the record, I am not taking any other product at the moment (not even ketokonazole shampoo). The only other possibility is that the half life of dutasteride is incomplete, although I am doubtful of this as it was never effective at regrowth before anyway.

Interesting. If you're seeing slight changes and are an experienced user of past 'scams' and are rightfully jaded, I'm starting to feel more upbeat about this.

Anyone else?

Well I'm not sure at all, sure lessened shedding-and some fuzz, still not sure about the fuzz tho, would it be there if I hadn't taken TRX2? Can't be sure.

[AgainstThis]

Check the pictures mate.

100% sure, shedding remains minimal, definite regrowth and more and more friends are asking me what I did for my hair. It's a slow, but definite reversal of the condition at this point.

So far it's maintaining EVERYTHING and that's good, but due to my early 2.5 pattern, I would like to see the extended -and not subtle- regrowth promised. If it remains subtle but keeps my NW 2.5 indefinitely, it's still worth it, but I won't be screaming in joy or anything.
