I read somewhere that the hair bulb contains stem cells. I also read that you can transplant body hair (follicles) into the scalp and it eventually grows to be full length scalp hair. So, why do we we deal with transplanting the follicle when stem cells from a pulled hair can regrow in the...

I'd say it feels great at first that your trying something. But if nothing becomes of it, it gets you a little frustrated!

Nesta, I started using both (just about a week ago, finasteride/dust) only becuase of cost reasoning. I figure if dust can do the same as finasteride at a dosage of .1 mg, than taking finasteride and dust will increase my chances of growing new hair by double and cost less than taking .5 mg dust on it's own. I...

I don't think that finasteride will affect differen't areas of our heads in a manor where you'll lose hair in one place because of it and grow hair in another. Why it works better on the vertex and not generally well over all is beyond what anyone here can explain. If your front follicles were already...

Yep, month 5 for me as well and things are slow.. Go to the topic "To shed or not to Shed" and you'll see what I wrote down for my first four and 1/2 months. George

In theory I agree with you. There is no point in selling an item once, when you can sell an inferior item for a lot more then once that does roughly the same job (disposable society). This would seem to be imitating what a large, monopoly type organisation would say behind the consumers backs...

Stepbehind, Well I'd say we're both a step ahead in that something is being done, whether there are current results or gonna be future results. We have but one life ahead of us, and although the inevitability of death is somewhere out there, we may as well live it how we want to live it...

Stepbehind, I agree on the continuing theme. It'd be such a waste to stop trying because of a shed (hair you would have lost anyway down the road). However, it does make the process a little stressfull!

Dear Users, Firstly I'd like to congradulate everyone on the contributions I've seen in the general GourmetStyleWellness form. Very informative and more importantly, supportive and comforting. I do wish however to steal away some of your time in an effort to understand what may be happening within...

1/2 Hairs Thanks for the reply. It's a pretty tough waiting period, just to see if things work. But I'll continue for the full year and see how things are going.

Hey folks.. just trying to get some advice on what might be happening here with my little min/pros regieme. I've been on 5% min since January/2004 then took up 1/4proscar around June. I was shedding quite a bit before, but now (being about 4 months into the proscar) I've been noticing that all...
