Any other helthfood junkies out there? What are the best things to eat in the run up and aftermath of a ht? Loads of fruit and veg of course... I figure zinc, vitamin c & e(in moderation)and the organic sulphers, like MSM etc. I am condidering adding collogen to my regime to help the scars heal? Any thourghts? NV

Great news, keep us all posted on how you get along. By the way, is the laster comb restoring / improving hair? If so where are you getting the benigits so far? Crown? Hairline? All over? Best NV

Dea All, Can I ask, what are the suspected causes of the 'shock loss' phenomenon where un-transplanted hair in the recipient area falls out en-mass around the 3-6 month mark post sugery. I seem to recall one thread which sugested that the roots of the un-transpalnted hairs were actualy injured by the creation of the recipiant sites. Is that true? IF so is it true just some of the time or most of the time? Also, what can be done to prevent it exept lots of minoxidil and proscar? With thanks NV

Dear All, Are there any patents of Dr. Blaine Lehr? Who charges a mere $3 per graft? A bargain price and endorsed by Dr Norwood too! IS there any catch!!! Thanks NV

Hi there, Proscar is a good first step. Most hair loss people use minoxidil too, it can be cheaper getting this from the USa too, say minoxidil.com I'm really not sure about ht in the UK. I would strongly recomend you dont use the Nobel Clinic of course! DHI & Farjo have some crediblity but you will find quite a lot of people slagging them off too. I would stear clear of anyone with any sort of black mark against their name! So my main advive is be super cautious and make sure you look twise before you leap!!! Good luck Nobel Victim

Hi Scalppealer, Can I ask, who did your ht? They sound particualry poor? I'm a great beliver in naming and shaming, you could be doing someone else a big favour. Also reagrding your probelms, I have heard good reports on emu oil and aole vera gel as part of a minox / proscar combo. I have read how a few people can develop probems from time to time with minox, and the natual suplemnts can help. The emu oil does make you look quite greacy though! Also isn't that nioral shampoo meant to help? Good luck NV

Hi Scalppealer,

HI Fuzzyhead, Very intersting proscar tip. I have to admit I have wondered about this sort of thing, I nver realised that gapefruit were so useful though. My UK dermatologist told me that Meric recomend the 1 mg pill rather than a split 5mg pill for delivering a good dose of drug as they claim (And my dermatolgist was scketical of this) that the pills casing helps it pass through the stomach without being damaged so it can deliver its full contents to the digestive tract. Fuzzyhead, you sound like a man with the answer to that sort of conccern. Is 1mg of proscar better than 1mg of broken up ex5mg finasteride becuse it comes in a sealed pill???? I tryed breaking my 5mg pills into 4 and then put the 4 fragments into saw palmetto capsules to ease them through the harser stages of digestion. Cans say it made much difference. Best NV

Did you, or any other UK guys get some Farjo junk mail in the last month? I did. It also said how they now offer fue ht rather than micrografts, can either of you bear this out? They also said they offer fit, ie non strip ht. Any patents out there experienced this first hand? It also had a rather cheasy interview with Farjo name dropping all the top US docs whereever possilbe, what is the veiw of Farjo on the world stage rather than the US? I too am a bit sceptical NV

Isnt Jean Devroye well regarded? I may have got muddled up here but isnt he a Belgian Dr who has been trained by some of the well regarded US ht docs? Sympathise totlay with your sitation by the way. I had jsut the same experience by the sound of it. NV

Thank yo Dr Charles, I think it will be the camoflarge route for me. Very best NV

Dear All, (Esp Gratefulhead) Thank all so much for your kind words. You know, since my last sugery, I havent so much given up on life as simply become totlay risk adverse. I guess this might be because I am generaly a quite methodical, and the last time I did something impusive I visited the wrong clinic! It is very easy to fall into a routine where you feel comfortable, I wear my hair long enough ti kid myslef that my weird hairline is mostly combed over and wait for the latest addition to my drug cuboard to fix the damage, its all very obsesive. Hairworthy and UKGezzer are quite right on this! It is best just to get on and get out of the rut. I do know that too, in a way, but as TS808 says once bitten twise shy (Ahmen!). I should say, I think that the monny involved is a baragian in so many ways, I mean all the time I spend re-reading the Bald Truth could be spent doing other things!!! I'm really grateful, and if I procede I will post up some picks and keep you all posted. Very best NV
