    Default RU mixed into minoxidil?

    Hey guys I'm new to the forum, been lurking around for a good few months now but only just registered. I'm currently using rogaine foam and S5 Cream. I have mostly thinning at the crown that has gotten progressively worse over the past few years.

    Im seriously considering using RU but am still unsure about how to make this. Is it better to make a daily batch, weekly or monthly? Also could i just buy the powder and mix it with a bottle of kirkland minoxidil and have a months worth of treatment? If you could answer these questions that would be great.

    Is the source mpbtreatments reliable?

    Just to give a little bit more background, I picked up a prescription for Propecia a couple of months ago and haven't taken it yet. The horror stories I've been reading have seriously put me off and I really don't want to take the risk, thats the reason I am going the RU route.

    Your responses will be much appreciated.

    There are very few people here experienced with RU, probably only three people.

    Maybe you can ask in hairlosshelp and the source doesn't really matter as long as you get pure and fresh RU. But as you will notice there are a lot of complaints from the chinese sources and none from the american source, which is MPTreatments.

    Also about making it weekly or daily, I don't think it really matters. Making it daily would be nice but in my opinion it doesn't really matter as long as the RU is good.

    I would just use RU separately. I haven't heard success stories about RU being mixed in minoxidil vehicle.

    The success I found was from people who used ethanol and pg vehicle or the kb solution.

    The side effects from propecia don't happen to the majority but a few guys. I tried propecia and I escaped some of the permanent sides, I still have a full fuctioning peckerwood.

    You should try RU before propecia.

    Good luck.

    thanks for the reply man. Appreciate it.

    I thought I should try RU first also. Although I went to an IAHRS certified surgeon in the UK, Dr Bessam Farjo and his associates assured me that all the internet hype about propecia's side effects was blown way out of proportion. One of the patient advisers there told me they had spoken to numerous dermatologists and all had said they had never seen these so called permanent side effects. It's really hard to know who to believe and I'm going through a serious mental battle, while at the same time losing more hair everyday. Anyway I'm sure this topic has been covered hundreds of times before back to the RU.

    I can get hold of PG pretty easily over the internet however I'm having a hard time finding alcohol here in the UK. Does anyone know a good source for the UK?

    Thanks

    Yeh I just wonder how common the side effects really are. I mean I'm not proud of this, but I've taken various narcotics in my lifetime, and some that i knew were dangerous and have killed people before. But I guess the fear of losing your dick is the strongest of all. Its supposed to work the best for people in my position (crown thinning), which is frustrating to say the least.

    You can use Everclear, that's what most people use.

    But If I were you I would use the KB solution, either make it yourself or buy it already made. What you want to do is minimize absorption. Ru does cause sides if it's absorbed into the bloodstream, like propecia would, but they disappear quickly after 1 or 2 days.

    Why KB solution? According to a patent, this solution minimizes absorption and may increase delivery of RU.

    Where can I get this KB solution from?

    I know what you mean. Ive done my share of mind altering madness. But if i read on the internet about them, i am very lucky to be alive. They bought me no harm at all...

    But in the real world, nearly all the people I know are fine since those days.

    Fin is different though, in that it messes with hormone levels. Im stuck, fin or RU?

    I cant afford to waste 6 months.

    There is only one guy on HLH forum whos happy with RU, and he mixes it with minox and takes dut orally as well.

    Its all pretty vague.

    There are more at hairlosshelp.
    From one of the emails and discussions I had, the shedding stops 1 week after using RU if you're a good responder.

    RU just stops shedding, no regrowth.

    What do you guys think about a topical made from propecia tablets. Just a thought since I've got the tablets (unused) and have quite a few kirkland minoxidil bottles. Would that help with side effects or is it just gonna get absorbed the same as taking it orally?
