Senior Member EpilepticSceptic Posted January 15, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 OK, but how does ths relate to DHT ? I thought that they figured out what causes baldness in men when they found out it was hormonal, specifically DHT causing the hair shafts to miniaturize ??? Ya know, hairs are still being produced but are just too small and thin to see. So if they can get these progenitor cells firing again how will they prevent them from from being killed again by DHT ??? Or am I missing something here ?

Definitely not the root cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted January 15, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2011 They are always promising a cure "within the next ten years". Heck with that, I will take the proven HT route! Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member Tonycc Posted January 17, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 17, 2011 i would be with the modern technology nowadays there has to be some improvement to the medication that is currently available. HT is an option, but it isn't the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
