Exactly why many are switching to a pulsed release using GHRP/GHRH. My understanding is the gut and organ growth are an indirect effect due to the feedback loop with IGF-1 and HGH.
A combination of Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide(s), and Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone(s) elevates GH "pulses," hence you get the positives from GH without the negatives. This means your pituitary will release more GH during it's rhythms. However the hormone is relatively short acting...
6 Months on GHRP/GHRH protocol has not only done wonders for my body, the hair on my crown has thickened. I did not have a lot of loss here, just discoloration and slight miniaturization. Using this ptotocol to elevate GH pulses helps gain the benefits while avoiding side effects from...
This is a great thread, and thank you for all your hard work consolidating current treatments. I have to say, forget the naysayers who step into your thread, where you are providing a kind service. And F B for being a D. Some of these guys just don;t stop.
Because you are making a...
Yes.
At that dose, you can expect to lower your DHT approximately 20% DHT from a single dose of finasteride will remain reduced for 7 days, and based on your EOD dosing schedule, you will be gradually accumulating based on a 4-6 hour half-life...
Thats' a good point. I'm sure each process takes different times in the system.
However, for me, my ear wax dries up, shedding stops and scalp/hair texture feels better within a week of using finasteride, and the sides seem to kick in around 3 weeks. Maybe it takes that long for my body's serum DHT...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but half life is the time it takes your body to metabolize/excrete 50% of the chemical. Wouldn't a breakdown work as such:
1 MG Dose
6 Hours 0.5 mg left
12 hours 0.25 mg left
18 hours 0.125 mg left
24 hours 0.0625mg left
Therefore, after a few days in, you will have...
Do you realize how long a half life of 8 hours actually takes to clear out once your body is saturated? This stuff works in micro doses. finasteride can also greatly disrupt your hpta amongst other hormonal balances, which may NEVER return to normal.
I am only stating this because I experienced the...
Yes, you can leave the next day. I am heading to see Dr Shapiro soon, and My biggest concern is going through airport security. You can wear a hat right away, and they recommend it, but I will have to take it off and show the security guy that the front and back of my head look like the got...
Yes. You have a VERY limited donor supply using conventional methods, which is why good docs will help you "plan" your hair transplant based on future hairloss patterns.
Remember, yours hairs are technically miniaturizing, not "Losing." Rogaine prolongs the hair cycle to increase the density of your hair. Most likely, you just got a post rogaine shed, as the drug was no longer extending the life cycle of those hairs.
Long story short, yes you can grow it all...
Rogaine is not going to permanently cause recession, especially to your hairline. Most likely you are experiencing a shed. Give it at least 6 months to a year.
Hi,
Has anyone tried any alternative dosing schedules for finasteride (ie 1 day on, 2 days off, 3 days on, 4 days off?), or can refer me to any good posts on the topic? I can't seem to find anything relevant in the search engines.
I have found people using much lower daily doses than the 1mg...
Does anyone have any abstracts of studies or strong anecdotal evidence linking finasteride with any receptor downgrade?
I have been reading quite a few anecdotes from people that have killed their HPTA - some from weeks of use, some form 10 years plus. I have noted a few consistencies:
1)...
My success with xandrox lasted a few years, with sporadic maintenance.
I can't attribute any success to the proscar, because I bailed early. however after 6 weeks this time, strangely I have noticed the following:
1) I do not lose ANY hair i n the shower.
2) I produce no earwax now.
3) My...
