Dr, Brandy did my first 2 small transplants of a few hundred each and I got a huge streteched scar from the second one that has plagued me forever. Brandy is probably much worse than even Bosely. He is a f'n butcher.

Stephen, If your theory is true...then what treatments...herbal or otherwise could we sue to combat scalp edema?

What product...exactly are you using. maybe I'll get it and try it out. How has it been working?

Stephen, I just really don't understand how increased drainage down below in the body would cause a buildup of fluid in the scalp? I was thinking of trying a diuretic to increase flow all over, and that made sense to me.

C'mon guys. I know that you have differing views on male pattern baldness, androgens, Stephen's theories, but can we get back to discussing the theories and not arguing?

Guys, I happen to subscribe to Stephen Foote's idea on the edema, permeability hairloss theory. Since minoxidil is a vasculator and widens arteries to increase blood flow, it also increases cellular permeability. There fore minoxidil actually would make things worse if you subscribe to Stephen...

So Bryan, Are you with me on the connection?? From what I read, it seems like there is a connection. Maybe the insulin resistance cause something else to happen, and in reaction to that, the body produces more dht/test. I don't know, I am just theorizing. This connection needs to be explored.

I read a couple more articles today. Basically it seems that during insulin resistance we produce more insulin that our body can handle...meanind our cells don't absorb the insulin like it should and we have a ton of insulin. This extra insulin causes a ton of stuff, including hairloss. Call...

Typically, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin or SHBG binds testosterone and controls the amount available in the blood. Lowered levels of SHBG result in more free testosterone, which can be converted into DHT by 5-alpha reductase. Sex hormone binding globulin is reduced by high insulin levels...

I have read on another forum and did a little digging nof my own. It seems like there is some def relation between insulin resistance and hairloss. If anyone has some thoughts please respond to this thread. If you read about insulin resistance and what it does, how it's caused, and how it...

Around the office I would be careful saying that kinda stuff. You could have just said "what do you care", or given him a dirty look. I work in an office and everything has to be pc.

Does using ACV actually do something?
