      it was immediately labelled as a guy promoting his stuff but i understand the immediate rejection when you have been brainwashed that only finasteride and minox can help you and everything else is snake oil.(the free snake oil of a healthy diet and some herbs of 1 dollar a month)
      Thank you so much for your positive response. I hate to admit this, but I'm hurt by the negativity. By the way, my brother reversed his balding, and he's 48. He went commando. He eats like a monk. His hair took approximately six to eight months to fully grow back. I guess I'll go back to my own forum and hang out there. If anyone is interested, we'll be here.

      Thanks again. I appreciate your comments.

        You’re going to need to develop a thicker skin if you want to get your word out through a popular forum like BTT. It’s not for the faint of heart Don’t let it get to you, there will always be naysayers. I was also motivated by Spencer Kobren’s book to drastically change my diet and while I don't think it was diet alone, I do think that the combination of diet and medication helped me maintain much of my hair and even regrow some of it.

          I know you're right. I'm a little sensitive. This is my first time doing this. Congratulations on reversing your hair loss. I'm so happy for your success with your hair. I really love Spencer Kobren. This first time I read his books, they went over my head. So I think maybe a little patience on my part is needed. Thank you for your kindness. I am working on a thicker skin.

            I agree that nutrition has an impact on hair loss, I do not doubt that for a second. What I doubt is that it will have a substanial effect on MBP. If you are suffering from MBP a healthy diet will help making the hair that are not effected by DHT look good and healthy, but the hair follicles in the areas that are effected by DHT will still shrink and eventually die. It might slow it down a bit, I just don't believe that food will do it alone, if so there would be no balding top athletes...

            I can honestly say that I haven't eaten any fast food or boxed foods for the past 3 years. My diet consists of fish, various vegestables, chicken/turkey and almonds and fruits and I do cross fit 3-4 times a week. Am I missing something in my diet to make this work?

            Bonus info: My hair loss is somewhere between NW2 and NW3.

              What type of hairloss are we talking about here?

              We are 100% not talking about typical pattern baldness.

              I eat healthily and I am in good shape physically, always have been and my hairloss is definately not to do with my diet, especially as my brother suffers from hairloss too and therefore is clearly hereditry.

                When I first started my page, I was only going to gear it towards women. About six months into my research, I started reading about men who were able to reverse their hair loss as well. I cannot leave men out if there is a chance that it will work.

                If I could change the title to my website, I would change it to Hair Loss Diet to Thicken Hair, or something like that. The title is actually composed of keywords.

                Many people have a gluten sensitivity. I don't know if you eat grains, but that could be a clue. Most of the time, though, the intolerance to gluten causes alopecia areata/totalis.

                Your diet is excellent. One thing though. You have to eat the kind of vegetables that most people avoid. Go very heavy on kale, spinach, leeks and bok choy. 50% vegetables per day in volume.

                I am in communication with a young 23-year-old male who stopped shedding when he stopped junk food. His breakfast consisted of Captain Crunch, his lunch was the same, and his dinner was McDoland's. He started thinning in his late teens. He is so stressed about his hair loss, he has never worked.


                For men, Cholorophyll, Saw Palmetto, and Zinc are top notch. And then wait and see what happens.

                  Even in the books that I've read geared towards men, they don't distinguish between male patterned baldness (horseshoe) or just generalized thinning. The men I've talked to had generalized thinning. It is my belief that for men with MPB, this would work best as a preventative measure. I would never tell a man that because he has advanced MPV that he is out of the loop. We don't know enough about it yet.

                    Bottom line is : If hair loss runs in your family and you inherit the curse gene, you ARE going to lose your hair NO MATTER WHAT you eat...or don't eat.

                    But anyway, I'm not giving up my cheese cake for nothing. I live a life with no sex and I couldn't care less but can't live without sweets. I'm pretty skinny though.

                        I really wish there was a section for diet, not only for hair loss but for well being,fitness and combat the depression that hair loss may bring.

                        Oh well thanks for the info anyway

                            MPB is genetic.

                            A good diet when you have MBP, will be as effective as taking hair vitamins, that make hair and scalp healthier but they won't regrow hair or stop hair loss. That's what a good diet would do.
