Controlling bad T cells

Is it true bald people usually die from some organ failure and not cancer?
If that's true id rather be balding and manually regulate my immune system + add HM over being hairy and cancer risked!

another interesting one.
it would be ironic if HIV lead the way to cure baldness.

A cure for overactive immune response in the colon is injesting worms that dont replicate in humans... based on the reason that modern humans dont have enough targets for the immune system to attack. This is a valid treatment for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis.

Has there every been a study for balding where T-cells are kept busy so there are alot less to attack hair folicles?

I don't think that messing around with imune system is the answer. Unless you can exclude just the follicles from being attacked you shouldn't inhibit it in any way. What good is a full head of hair when you'll be sick all the time.

I think this one's a little more manupulative than generally culling our immune systems.

Maybe folks with pimple problems start balding when taking accutane simply because we removed a target for the t-cells, so they start targeting our folicles instead.... would that explain why we get pimples again when we unmark our folicles with finasteride?

You know, our body can make enough cells to fight both fronts.

True mate, but would having extra bad t-cells when you remove pimple targets accelerate balding somewhat?

The intestine inflamation study looks interesting because they stopped the body from attacking the intestines by giving it foreign worm targets, if only they could do that with folicles.... makes you wonder if balding started off with fighting an invading bacteria that looks like folicles....from the molecular mimicry theory.
