[Breaking Bald]

Thoughts? Opinions?

Very good ,Thank you very much for your posting here !!!!

Why are people acting like this will cure everyone and be out in 2 years? NW7 -> NW1? Doubtful, especially since we have not seen any regrowth pictures

Even thickening of existing hairs is hard but we need something better than minoxidil and finasteride already and this could be it.

I have not seen any evidence this works at all. That being said its possible it could turn Norwood 7 -> Norwood 1 I mean no one knows so how could you even guess that is not possible? All men have the cells to generate hair they are just inhibited from doing that so its certainly not impossible although I think keeping the hair you have and some slight regrowth are more likely but no one knows this.

Also given the complexity of baldness from what we know so far I think its probably not as simple as stopping this 1 enzyme but again I have no idea I am just guessing like anyone else claiming to know anything else.

so if a person gets pimples but you can use a topical to zap 'em, you're not getting to the root but you are alleviating the symptoms...if inflamed follicles is caused by PGD2 buildup locally, then zapping it and alleviating it will cause the follicles to start behaving normally?? That is the question around attacking PGD2 -- topically or internally...nobody knows if ridding the follicle of PGD2 will trigger the follicle to start growing...maybe Dr. Cot knows this...maybe not...

we just don't have enough information right now...

"He says that there are already prescription antiasthma drugs available, which work by reducing PGD2 levels"
We could looking into getting these drugs and giving them a try. Who wants to be the guinea pig?

 

[baldnesssadness]

When the populist media talk about "baldness cures", they rarely ever seem to mean literal cures... At best, just treatments that prevent baldness.

why do you say that? There is a good chance that PGD2 blockers would be able to actually reverse baldness

There is stuff that needs to get done before there is a good way to use this discovery to find out what exactly it does if anything. Existing drugs that could have some effect might not be exactly what you need to get results not to mention many things vary between people as they try to do it.

Histogen and replicel are growth factor based treatment. They are similar to minoxidil and AHK CU in that they work downstream from DHT, and will likely not interfere with androgens, they will simply affect the cellular processes which promote and upregulate the processes and factors that promote the growth and sustenance of terminal hair. We already know of numerous compounds which can positively intervene on various aspects of balding. Histo and Repli will likely be combinding these and adding new ones all into a patented formulation. I have good hopes for these treatments. It will definitely do something.

 

[uncomfortable man]

All aboard the hype train, choo choo!

 

[abcdefg]

I hope for something but its tough to hear the word years thrown around so much I mean that is a long time to wait while your losing hair just hoping something happens.

 

[rwGourmetStyleWellness]

yeah i'm with you.

i'm so used to and tired of being disappointed that I just can't whimper up the nerve to get excited.

Tired of these so called cures and silver bullets only to become more 'balder' by the minute.

Maybe I am because I have asthma, but I can't see how I can convince my doctor for it

 

[Beingbaldsucksass]

Holy **** I had a pdg2 blocker in my cabin all along, Its called mizollen got it from the army doctor cuz I'm suffer from severe asthma and allergies for like five years, im the kind of guy who actually need those meds anyway, I never sticked to it and took it rarely, I thought it garbage and not doing anything but that because I never took it day by day,

also because I thought a lot more about hairloss and dident treated my allergies, now when it's linked I suddenly sees it in a diffrent light. I googled it and they say it's a pretty strong med. so that along with cenzitrine I'm gonna try it. Worst case it won't work but my allergies will gone, and that's also good cuz it's a pain in the ***

So anyway I will update soon

Btw it makes me think what if it's all connected and my hairloss and allergies are both caused by too much pdg2 in the body. My father also had asthma history and was bald by his 20'

Maybe alone those meds wont work on hairloss but in conjection with finasteride they will.

Cotsarelis himself refuted the 'two years until a cure' claim.

That's not to say that people won't try PGD2 blockers on the black market, or as off-label treatments when those medicines are available on the legit market, but unfortunately we're a long, long way off from PGD2 blockers being commercially available as dedicated hairloss treatments.

the media allways fuk things up,those useless pgd2 cure articles they have has made many of waste so much time. First i understood why so many hair loss sufferers were allways sceptical, now i feel like they do. Still i wish it could come out in 2 years. It would have been a LIFEsaver.

 

[Exodus2011]

wow i have REALLY bad allergies as well . . . . . . weird

It may be a guass but maybe too much pdg2 in the body is the reason of it starting too soon, mild life hair loss could be something else.
