    Starting Rogaine - a few concerns

    I've been going the all-natural way for over a year and not only has it helped in stopping the hair loss, but I am also noticing some regrowth, closing in around the edges of the bald spot, although very fine and only noticeable when looking at my scalp closely with a mirror. I'm basically...

    natural cures?

    Or do they? I see your point and it's valid, but there are never any guarantees, the big 3 (or 2) are indeed FDA approved, and once you read about the possible side-effects and decide to move forward with them, I suppose yes, one could say they know what they're getting themselves into. However...

    natural cures?

    Both. I drink it every morning diluted in juice, because it's simply good for you and I had other reasons to get onto a healthier habits. What it does for hair I discovered later, so a double whammy for ACV, yes, applying a bit of it on the scalp does wonders, it only takes a little, but...

    natural cures?

    lol... To each his own, natural is working great for me, there's nothing to argue, debate, much less discuss anymore. Didn't work for you, sorry, but I'm not wasting thousands of dollars with a band-aid drug treatment to apply for the rest of my life just to have a few fine baby hairs in lieu...

    all natural: it's working for me

    Most health food stores carry it, you can always order some here: http://www.laidinmt.com/ That's the brand the store here carries, but any pure Emu oil with nothing added should do. It is absolutely odorless, dries extremely quickly and if anything, might make your hair feel slightly greasy...

    all natural: it's working for me

    Excellent, that's so good to hear! The other non-ingredient ingredient is patience, the hair didn't all fall out in one day or even a couple of months, so for it to grow back takes time, normally. The reason the regiment I'm on is as such is because I read a lot, do a lot of research online and...

    all natural: it's working for me

    I've posted before about being a firm believer that natural products can actually reverse hair loss. I've tried different regimens over the past year and I added 2 new things (while dismissing 2 others), and lo and behold, in one month, velllus hairs all over the crown and temples. I'm staying...

    natural cures?

    First things first... Anyone who thinks that the only methods that work are those which are FDA approved should not only do a little more research, but also experiment and stay open-minded. Minoxidil was originally prescribed for blood pressure regulation, then..."oh look Dr., it seems to help...

    Emu oil

    There's a few more things I take that I didn't mention. Things like Revivogen, if you look closely at what's in it, ingredients and such, you'll notice it's all the same stuff you can buy at any health food store, just packaged nicely at a much higher price. Believe me, I've researched this...

    Emu oil

    You might all find this quite interesting. I've been on an all natural regimen for about 5 months now and just added this yesterday. There are many links about it on a google search, but here are a couple to get you started. Needless to say, I can't say that it's doing anything just yet, but I...

    Ketoconazole Shampoo 2% + Aloe Vera (with pictures)

    I have been using Aloe Vera gel for nearly 4 months and I actually am seeing some regrowth on the crown, and I thought it was hopeless. I now use it in conjunction with tinctures of cayenne, lavender, green tea, ginseng and saw palmetto. I put a few drops of each (about 4 or 5) in a base of aloe...

    penguin74's story - (age 34, my first post, so hello!)

    Re: my first post, so hello! hmm...interesting, there is hope then. Like I also mentioned earlier, I can sort of feel tiny little specs of hair when i gently rub my finger on the bald crown, maybe that is a good sign, dunno, but I can't see anything, still looks very shiny and scalpy when...

    penguin74's story - (age 34, my first post, so hello!)

    Re: my first post, so hello! I'm just wondering now if being a NW4 (more like 4.5) on the crown, is there any chance left for me? Did I start too late, has anyone with such loss on the crown been able to grow it back, even a little? I'm still going strong with my regimen, which is all natural...

    Apple poly

    And it just occurred to me... If this stuff is so great (i mean let's be honest, they make it sound like it's a miracle in a bottle), why is it only available online through that site and not to be found in health food stores, after so many years? Hmm...

    So who here has used Saw Palmetto?

    I've been on Saw Palmetto for about 6 months, though I do combine it with a healthier diet, a multivitamin as well as Fish Oil and SIlica tablets daily. While I can't say that the SP has actually shown any regrowth, it certainly has not slowed anything down nor caused any shedding. Furthermore...
