No one is saying that bald people need better nutrition. The study just shows a correlation of Androgenetic Alopecia sufferers and deficiencies in certain nutrients. I don't know what you are talking about.

What I mean by that is that, as I stated, there are many studies now linking Androgenetic Alopecia to all sorts of metabolic problems and diseases. This one in particular indicates important mineral and vitamin deficiencies in Androgenetic Alopecia subjects compared to the controls. To me that indicates that the underlying issue...

The study doesn't say it isn't genetic. It clearly is. The thing is that it appears that androgenic alopecia is just a symptom of a deeper hereditary metabolic issue with important consequences for your overall health and well-being. The cosmetic part of it is quite irrelevant compared to...

This study shows that whatever the underlying metabolic mechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia is, it also makes us more prone to develop several deficiencies and that the problem we are facing goes deeper than the simple "androgen sensibility" of the follicles explanation that we have heard for years. They found...

I just stumbled upon this case report. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy agent and immune system suppressant, so it is not a drug to use unless strictly necessary. It is an interesting case report nonetheless and it appears that psoriasis and androgenic alopecia share some of their pathogenesis. It...

Just found this study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1606541/ In it they demostrate that hair follicles have prolactin receptors, that prolactin acts as a hair growth modulator by promoting hair follicles to enter catagen phase and therefore that prolactin exerts hair...

This. This is the key. When we are in our androgen peak we all have a full head of hair and as we age and our androgens start to drop we start balding more and more. This clearly indicates that there is some other key factor involved in this. Something in our bodies changes as we grow older that...

My semen became watery too and stayed that way even after I stopped taking it. Now 3 years later is starting to go back to normal. Still not fully there though. Volume is also pretty dimished. In my experience the worst sides came after I stopped taking it.

My alopecia is very agressive and started when I was a teenager. At 16 I was using Minoxidil and as soon as I was 18 I started taking propecia to try to slow down the progress. My erections became weaker, my semen was like water, I became anxious and developed depression. Despite all that I was...

You are fine. You have a pretty natural and healthy hairline for a man. It really doesn't look like you are balding at all. Do you have any bald relative? If not, I wouldn't worry about it unless you notice that you are losing density

Agree. Having a good Vit D level is also an important factor to add to your list. I think the key thing to extrapolate from all this is that baldness is not only an aesthetic issue. It's a symptom of a deeper metabolic problem. We should be mindful about it and be extra careful about our health.

The BBC article mentions 2 studies. The recent one from india, in which 2,000 young men in India showed more who had coronary artery disease were prematurely bald or grey than men with a full head of hair. And another one of 37000 people from Japan that said balding men were 32% more likely to...

That's awesome. Congrats!. Hard rolling and bleeding is the key.

Seems like there are very different results in the forum. The way we dermaroll our scalp and using ketoconazole products like nizoral could be the cause. We should do a survey like this: 1. Are you seeing positive results from dermarroling? 2. When you dermaroll your scalp, do you roll in...
