Hey guys,

I don't mock this YouTuber, adkpinecone, and I don't have a grudge against him. You know why? Because I was in the same situation like him... I thought "natural treatments" were the ultimate cure and FDA approved medications were evil and part of the illuminati. I'm so glad I went on dutasteride 0.5 mg ED with a thick NW2-2.5. If I was still in denial, then I probably would become a hat prisoner, just like this guy.

I just pity him... He believes that "chemicals" don't work and he sells snake oil to desperate people without knowledge, but I still pity him, because the old me could relate pretty well.

Sorry, but this video is the definition of denial...

The most cringiest reaction I've read from one of his other videos, which name I unfortunately forgot, is this one: "Your hairline is not receding at all! Balding at a young age is great, because you don't have to worry about it when you're older, while your fullhead friends do have to worry about getting bald." A girl posted this...

A lot of people do not want to take 5AR inhibitors as they view it unhealthy for cosmetic reasons. They also are not totally incorrect. So the fact that people do not want to jump on hormone disrupting chemicals long term for hair is a valid reason and why we need other treatments.

As generally effective as finasteride and duta are purported to be (at least in maintenance of hair), I can't imagine they're good long term solutions. DHT is critical for your health, after all. Inhibition of it long term are likely to cause some more significant health problems along the way. Also, from people who've actually used this stuff truly long term (10+ years), they seem to inevitably lose their hair anyway, albeit probably at a much slower rate. I'm doubtful there'll be any true cure any time soon. I'd expect at the most a slightly better finasteride with fewer side effects. I'd also imagine a long-term solution probably requires more than taking a pill.

Also, if you're anything past a NW2, just buzzcut it. Anything else looks completely stupid. If you're past a NW3, just fully shave it all off. Enjoy your new terrible life with no hair.

Also, that's dude hair is complete f*****g sh*t. If he had good masculine facial aesthetics, he'd be fine. But he doesn't. He's got a shitty baby face. Rather than being a badass action hero, he'd look like a literal grown up baby. Already kind of does with that terrible diffuse NW3.5 :p A receded hairline isn't so bad as losing yourhair density. He has worse density than my 55 year old father :p. And my father has decently progressed senile alopecia.

I do not think there will be a cure but there should be new treatments soon within 5yrs I would say. Specifically SETI/FEVI and Breezula which are progressing through trials and will at least come on the market for other conditions (Asthma and Acne/excess hair growth). The most likely reason for progression of male pattern baldness on Finasteride is because 5AR2 is not being inhibited enough for that person.

I'm referring to cases where one experiences success for a few years, then they begin to slowly decline in the next few. In any case, I've taken several precauations to (hopefully) avoid going on finasteride. I'm a stable NW1.5 with no obvious signs of diffuse or crown thinning. Have been for at least a year, perhaps longer.

Hair loss genetics is a mixed bag in my family. My father's a stable NW2 with only some age-related thinning (hair follicles get thinner, but don't actually fall out), but my uncle is a NW4.

I personally believe that hair loss arises from prolonged and consistent inflammation and disease in the body, which are caused by standard Western diets and behaviors. I think there's ample evidence for this, though no definitive proof; hair loss significantly increased in Japan following WW2 ; i.e. the introduction of aspects of the incredibly unhealthy but convenient Western diet. The traditional Japanese diet is quiet healthy and hardly has any toxic foods. The only real examples are white rice and soy.

Whether hair loss can actually be prevented via "natural" means is untested, to my knowledge. Hair loss is extremely complex, with hundreds of different regions on the DNA affecting it.

"I still have quite a good bit of hair"

Unless you're a NW0 or a NW1, you're full of sh*t.

Fullheaded assholes. Why won't anyone admit being bald is a death sentence, especially when you're young. You look 10 years older, meaning an employer is less likely to hire you (higher medical coverage costs), as well as lacking aesthetic balance in your face, making you look hideous to any women worth your time, and looking overall like a sick cancer patient. How lovely.

The irony is that he's supposedly a health channel. Yet he's receded like sh*t.

Also, this was too funny to turn down:

Yeah, your skin is looking great:

You don't at all look like you have the skin of a 40 year old woman who's just said f*** it, with those eye bags and those nasolabial folds.

@alekgn

Well, I don't personally need it yet, lol. I have some on hand, but unless my hairline noticeably gets worse or my top or crown density goes to sh*t, it's there. The irony of this is that if all these supplements actually worked for him, he could take off his hat and show that his hairline really has improved. Of course, he hasn't.

You're definitely sort of right.

It's his personal lifestyle and choices, but he's rather delusional. In his earlier videos, when he had pretty decent of hair, he claimed that natural treatments will cure male pattern baldness. In his later videos, when he noticeably lost amounts of hair and his subscribers noticed the decline, he suddenly changed his claim and says that the natural treatments will only "slow down" hair loss.

Not to mention, he's a fear mongerer. In most of his comment sections he claims that finasteride ALWAYS causes side effects in every user, which is not scientifically accurate at all. Even so, I still pity him, because he experiences paranoia, fear and denial.

That's for damn sure.

But if things get worse, then we can always put "pepper" in our hair.

I feel bad for him. He was one of the first users on YouTube I saw in relation to hair loss back when I first came on the scene. Of course being a man of science I didn't take his videos seriously except from a curiosity pov. Unfortunately people do believe him and end up in a situation like him by not treating their hair with approved treatments. They end up with weak hair and further emotional, physical decline. God his hair is like 50 plus. Even when it becomes acceptable it's still not good hair. Poor guy it happened so young but he could have done something! Even still maybe, native hair is sort of alive. Still has 60k hairs on top to save. Might message him.

I haven't watched that video and it's been years since I looked him up, but to his credit he meant well and is trying to help others. He's just so wrong and now is facing the ageing challenge too kind of early.

Knowing your authentic options and starting early is over half the battle to keeping your hair thick. Of course some don't respond but that's another issue.

I would have been in a terrible state if I didn't act, probably nw3 with thinning crown. I can't imagine being diffuse through out. There's a guy on another forum and this one who stayed below nw2 for two decades because they were consistent with meds despite reasonably aggressive genes. I mean real Norwood 1/2 - in the correct hairline location and no diffuse thinning which is a disqualifying factor for the Norwood scale. And that was an era without experimental drugs or much internet where you couldn't discuss purchases, results, emotional support with others. Amazing. Key was they never gave up and stuck to science. As idealforehead wrote, these days baldness is a choice for a lot of young folks and that's why there'll be more full heads which is a good thing. Sucks to go through this disease if it lands a liver kick at ya.

This is so true. I feel so bad for him. :(

When he was in the early stages of male pattern baldness, I think he was in a desperate situation, because of fear mongering horror stories, Post Finasteride Syndrome, etc. He made himself believe that "natural treatments" are the "safer" way, without any side effects. Pseudoscience/bro science sounds very plausible to balding people without knowledge, so it gave him hope, even though his consciousness knew it sounds rather fishy. Even though I feel sympathy for him, I also think the pseudoscientic crap made him ignorant, because he's lying to his desperate subscribers and he discredits FDA approved medications.

Without this platform, I would probably be a NW3.

Lol that shouldn't be a disqualifying factor but that's how it's viewed at times. Image makes a difference. Like a bald hair transplant surgeon, a dentist with bad teeth, a skinny guy advising about weights, unattractive guy on dating tips e.t.c. It's good to judge the content of what one says and keep an open mind as you will learn more. Maybe the bald hair Doctor doesn't want to get hair or didn't have finasteride access but is excellent at his job. The dentist could clean others but not himself or has a systemic illness that promotes caries and calcification.

I know some people who look very young, attractive but smoke, drink and abuse the sun a fair bit. 'What's the secret' some ask, yet it's just genetics and they do/know nothing. On the other hand there are ultra ocd type people that are uglier, aged, balder and their helpful knowledge is overlooked due to prior assumptions.

I digress but in a nutshell, I think he gives good tips about skin if he's talking about vit c and collagen. He's just been dealt a bad hand.

@InvaderZim we should get him on this forum for his benefit, he still has a chance to save his hair which he wants. Maybe he'll live In the alternative section initially before a gradual transition! He was manipulated by the wrong crowd for sure.
