based on westonci's early progress, and my own lack of progress with RU + minoxidil, i am going to try the protocol the way he is doing it.... but I know the original creator of this protocol used dutasteride as well.... i can't take finasteride (and i am assuming dutasteride) due to sides ... however, finasteride + minoxidil did give me a 1/4 inch regrowth on my hairline back when i tried it, and it felt like a miracle to progress forward a bit versus backward ...
anyway i was thinking of adding CB to westconci's version of the protocol, to replace the anti-androgen angle from the original protocol given i don't think i'll tolerate dutasteride... additionally, i didn't get any sides from topical RU... aside from the increased logistical work adding yet another topical to westcoci's regimen, do you guys think this is advisable? or should i keep the RU in the regimen instead? or neither? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...
i feel bad asking, because as a new member i want to add value instead of just asking questions, but i haven't learned enough yet (as an aside, i
have learned enough, watching the back and forth for that past few months, not to ask questions that can be had by searching and reading through previous threads! so i don't plan on doing that

) ... i can say though, that in return for your expertise, i have some good baseline pics with a few small moles before and after the hairline, as well as a lone soldier, so if i am able to get any regrowth, i'll be able to document and share ... the moles and lone soldier are positioned in a way so that even a small amount of regrowth, should i be so lucky, would be pretty unmistakable using these markers.. thanks in advance for any thoughts....
