    Default Do we have the cure for hairloss?

    I just want to throw this idea out there.......because i believe that we already have the tools to stop hairloss.........its more the commitment required that we lack.
    Lets just summarise MPB by saying DHT attacks the hair follicle.....causing inflammation, miniturising of the hair follicle.....and over time fibrosis which causes the follicle to stop producing hair. Im aware its more complicated than this, but those are the things (according to science) that happen - DHT Sensitivity, Inflammation, Fibrosis.
    Now in my mind we already have the drugs/vitamins/diet changes available to stop these things from happening.
    Many people take propecia with good results, however i havnt seen many reports of people who try to tackle every stage of hairloss.
    DHT sensitivity - Taking Propecia or Dutesteride reduces DHT dramatically, other reports suggest Saw Palmetto does the same. So basically DHT sensitivity can be reduced by taking these. Moderate aerobic exercise has also been shown to reduce DHT.
    Inflammation - Lets accept that some DHT continues to cause problems. But if we dramatically reduce the inflammation caused by DHT then DHT itself isnt causing a problem right? After all, no inflammation = no fibrosis = functional hair follicle. There are many excellent anti inflammatories - Fish Oil, Curcumin, Alpha lipoic acid, Green Tea to name but a few. Take a couple of each a day and inflammation is much reduced also. Sugar is a major pro - inflammatory and so cutting it out of your diet is also key to anti inflammatories having more effect.
    Fibrosis - Taking a supplement that stops fibrosis and can even reverse it in some cases would be an excellent last line of defence. Taurine has been proven to be effective against fibrosis.

    So.......my recipe to stop hair loss.

    Take propecia/dutesteride/saw palmetto..... and exercise.

    Take anti - inflammatories in plentyfull supply. Cut sugar out of your diet.

    Take taurine daily to protect against fibrosis.

    It sounds simple.......but it requires a lifestyle change and is probably why many people dont stick to it.
    I think we all wait for the 'magic bullet', when we already have most of the keys to the puzzle.
    Much like other chronic immune problems, it takes a multi - faceted aproach to succeed.
    When i was more concerned about my hair, i too lacked the motivation to stick to a regime like this.

    For those that require anti - sebum or a growth stimulant, we also have ketoconazole and minoxidil. So all bases are covered..........except for our own self discipline
