Well my biggest problem is that he does not have the decency to actually test his theories before he starts warping peoples minds with them. He should know that male pattern baldness sufferers are some of the biggest suckers on earth and will buy anything. They do not need to toyed with like this.
Making so many claims of successful regimens is just not right. Its about as right as BP claiming they've removed 75% of the oil spill.
I admire his passion and confidence, but its also just arrogant to think that you will find the cure everyone overlooked, and exclaim you have everytime he gets a boner about new. We do not need to be spooged on this way.
Hoppi: Hold back, refine your ideas, and don't be such an attention wh*** about everything. You have been so dreadfully wrong so many times. Learn, evolve, develop humility, respect others by doing this. Clearly you have lost respect by simply expressing your eccentricity that is clearly not a genius scientific expression.

This is actually only the second time in the whole time I've been on here where I've thought I've noticed possible regrowth. And I never, EVER said this stuff was true, EVER. This is my theory, it's my opinion, but if you are taking it as something as more than that then that's not my fault.
The reduction of collagen synthesis while using finasteride (or minoxidil for that matter) is staggeringly irrelevant. Once you have removed DHT to that extent (or in the case of minoxidil, promoted hair growth to that extent), collagen quality makes relatively little difference.

"I THINK I'VE CURED IT!!!!!!!"
again....and again...and again........
And I didn't say you claimed it was true. You have a lot of false a-ha! moments and you feel the need to spam us with it, and in the flakiest way possible(like a 14 year old girl).. That is simply my opinion. You are diluting legitamate ideas with your own uncontrollable excitement. Just relax bro and maybe something of use will come to you concerning the male pattern baldness dilemma we are all facing and researching.

You cannot be serious!
To be honest man, I think you underestimate the amount of effort that goes into a scientific hypothesis. I've studied economics and politics academically, and know how much effort goes into constructing a logically sound hypothesis in these, but I can only imagine how much effort goes into constructing a hypothesis in the physical sciences.....
You seem like a really nice guy, and I don't really like feeling like I'm putting you down, but I think you're being incredibly naive. In sum, if top PHDs from Oxbridge and Ivy League colleges have trouble curing baldness, you're probably not going to, and the fact that you're choosing to study anthropology makes me wonder how much of an aptitude you have for the sciences..

What's also fantastic is the awful dandruff that I had accompanying my male pattern baldness has completely gone, I can barely see any flakes now. I still have some itching, but it's not too bad.
Now, I have had just one wash with a great herbal anti-dandruff shampoo so it may have been that, but I'm fairly sure that the dandruff was easing up greatly even before I used it.
Who knows eh? I'll keep my eye on the ball, and keep going
Edit - Well, actually the dandruff may not have completely stopped but it does feel better - it used to be simply unbearable

I would love to hear evidence as to why:
a) Collagen health is not connected to male pattern baldness (would be news to L'Oreal)
b) Equol does not reduce (active) DHT (would be news to Merck and PubMed)
c) Dandruff does not have a connection to male pattern baldness (would be news to a good 70% of people with the condition)
:tongue:

I believe the Nanogen website explained this quite well, its to do with the increased production of sebum, inflammation and build up of fungal infections and dead skin. I havent had dandruff since about 15 but mine was becoming unbearable until recently, there really has been a massive improvement but its hard to say if that was more the equol or shampoo (I would guess the former ). But yeah, that's that
). But yeah, that's that

Btw sorry man if it looks like I am just jumping between theories, I promise you I'm not. The thing is that as I learn more, I realize that there are lots of potential triggers for male pattern baldness, and everyone is different. People have different levels of genetic susceptibility, different diets and lifestyles, etc.
I mean if you look at what I was focusing on before, it's still all true. If you lower your SHBG too far, you will end up with more free T which will lead to more DHT and therefore a higher chance of hair loss. The combination of curcumin and resveratrol will work on some people, as it has on the Natural, due to it's beneficial effects on sex hormones and the level of inflammation in the body, as well as it's inhibition of certain pathways. Lignans mop up sex hormones and help to balance them correctly. Beta-sitosterol is also helpful I believe as a 5ar type 2 inhibitor, but this will never compare to the properties of s-equol, at least not in my mind.
Insulin and cortisol both lower SHBG and testosterone, cause imbalances and harm the body, and I still believe that things like stress and excessive sexual activity affect inflammation levels.
But what people have to understand is that while I have taken all of this information on board and I never forget it, that doesn't mean I am applying it to myself as my specific trigger.
At the end of the day, I am not jumping between treatments as such (or at least not for the sake of it), I simply know more than I did before.

lol this thread is becoming a little silly! hehe
Yeah about equol, I just think its so unique. No other known substance is capable of reducing DHT without also inhibiting 5ar (that I know of) which of course means you can increase the amount of equol in you quite high before any sides begin to show. Therefore it should have powerful applications for male pattern baldness and according to the creator of Densiti is effective in as much as 80% of cases! It also is far, far safer for younger guys with male pattern baldness than finasteride.
My collagen thing is a completely separate experiment though, I dont really know how that will pan out but at the very least my skin and muscle will get back to normal again!

5 months ago when I made the standard I'm balding wah wah post, one of the first to respond was Hoppi with his alternative bullshit, this guy is dangerous, he has the same frame of mind that certain charlatans have who aren't aware of their own fraudulence, please Hoppi at least clarify with every post your regimen's are extremely experimental and should not be adopted by the novice.
and if you are a troll. I hope you go bald. like norwood 10.

Please bear in mind that my views are only really considered alternative on forums like gourmetstylewellness.com. On another hair loss forum I frequent, I actually feel I am one of the lesser alternative posters, and most of what I say (mostly excluding the importance of collagen) is as accepted there as finasteride and things are here
