wow very cool ...i was not a believer...i am and will start today.....thank you for taking time to write guys

would like to re-open this: i would like to hear some thoughts on trt,propecia and exactually what does propecia do beside lower dht to allow hair maintaince vs hair regrowth. bigger question to tie this all together.... if one take testosterone for years and raises dht to a high level and creates hair loss....test blood dht level 80 range 30-75 ...then goes off testosterone tests blood dht 46 (range 30-75) would one suspect to achieve the same results as propecia? hair regrowth ;thickening; ? and now be able to try rogaine?? ( as we know rogaine is useless in the fight against dht)

also if propecia only works by lowering dht...stopping testosterone would also drop dht back to my normal level..so if my normal is low(if) would regrowth come with out propecia>?

well that is what i was hopeing not to hear...i was thinking taking testosterone may help sexual issues... so far 3 hair replacement dr.s told me no big fans of propecia... i also see 2 derm's and they both say try it see what happens... i see you tried jeff epstein any results at all>? me zip 1 1/2 years later no growth at all

been pn Hrt (testosterone) for over 5 years ..first couple years seemed ok..then I developed seborrheic dermatitis around my nose..then my scalp started itching like crazy...tried many dr. prescribed shampoos as well as over the counter...nothing has helped...hair loss started about 3 years ago . the issue now is my scalp is irritated constantly... my only thought now is propecia...i had blood drawn 3 times over past 6 months my dht was between 80-95 each time...labcorp range 30-85.. i am not asking any doctors here to prescribe me anything . I am just looking for some input if i sound like someone who would benefit from propecia and if so to what extent...could it grow back hair lost over the past 4 years. thank you

been on trt for 5 years ...my scalp started itching like crazy the second year of trt...had no clue it was due to the rising dht from the TrT (TESTOSTERONE). I had and very thick head of hair until the trt....even years ago i used steroids lost some hair stopped and it all came back.... now my dr. is telling me to start propecia..to lower dht and bring back hair( really?). few questions I have 1. does propecia only work by lowering dht ? 2. has anybody succesfully regrown hair while still on trt by using propecia? 3.would it make sence to do propecia prior to hair transplant to lower dht and create a healthier scalp? any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.....i live everyday with insane scalp itch... all shampoo's (all) make my scalp feel good for few hours but by next morning scalp feels burned then itches rest of day...

a great study would be successful hair transplants vs non-successful and level of dht ..3 of 4 dr's i have had consults with dont recommend dht inhibitors.

17 months out fue zero growth...zip. i will not knock the dr. ...i am just stating my results.

I am approx 11 monts out from 1600 FUE'S ...results zip..

consumer reports did study on protein...these poison's could cause hairloss? "But our investigation, including tests at an outside laboratory of 15 protein drinks, a review of government documents, and interviews with health and fitness experts and consumers, found most people already get enough protein, and there are far better and cheaper ways to add more if it's needed. Some protein drinks can even pose health risks, including exposure to potentially harmful heavy metals, if consumed frequently. All drinks in our tests had at least one sample containing one or more of the following contaminants: arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Those metals can have toxic effects on several organs in the body. "

I was traveling recently and was talking to an M.D. who sat next to me on plane..discussed my hairloss and why propecia and durt. scare me ...he mentioned he read an article on CB0301..though said not his area and doesnt know much about it. "Test items dispersed in a specific gel for hydroelectrophoresis, and applied to the scalp by hydroelectrophoretic technique. Applications occurred once or twice a week, for five sessions of about 20 minutes each" Did not use it for long, and the results was good. Follicular density went from 71 - 109 while it doubeled the hair diameter after only 4 weeks of 1%. Improved for 85%. any Doctors here know of this? thx

some great looking results there from Dr. Shapiro should i find it odd my dr. does not have a record of my hair count;meaning how many 1's,2's 3's? thx

no clue...but i would like to see more patient describe what is happening to them from week 1 through 52 without the other guys (who i feel are working for dr's) not allowing them to give their honest experiences.

I am 7 months out from same Dr..........my hair looks like s***. (period) I am not pushing him yet for answers or even complaining..I think it is fair to give time ;what if I am just a late grower.. Though; through my research since my procedure I have learned that the more epinephrine(no clue if spelled right) used ,the less likely your results will be good...also will cause more shock loss...i had a two day fue; lots of trama ..would not do that again..FUG less time in chair= less trama and= less epi =less risk of trama to head, and even the graphs. This should be a top topic on all HRT forums. This is what decides successful transplants...

or even wholefoods parabens and SLS free?
