Hi Joanne. Since ATP is used in the cells do you have any evidence that it survives passing through the skin, into the blood stream and then into the cells? Something doesn't smell right to me.

Just my humble opinion but I would start by first not putting anything on your scalp for a few days to a week. I think you may be making conclusions about alcohol that may or may not be true. Then I would drop the HA because I have no idea what that is doing to drop the PH. Too much acidic stuff can...

Lakers...ditto to what OMG said. I would like to add that personally I've never seen more positive testimonials on message boards like I have with LLLT. This even includes propecia. Understand I have no finacial stake in LLLT at all. I don't sell diodes anymore. I don't sell helmets.....I make no mo...

Why not cover the entire ear with lasers for 20 minutes three time a week?

zixcreator

Yea.... I would really like to know more about this. Please tell us all where you got that information! Great post!

zixcreator

I would recommend a six month trial of a topical DHT receptor site blocker along with the fin. Topical saw palmetto is my favorite.

zixcreator

Yes DHT is definitely bad for hair....but it is good for other things happening in the body. That's why many of us experience side effects from something like propecia or dut. As far as dut or fin.....if I remember correctly when they were titrating the dose of propecia they found that 1 mg was opti...

Thanks Happyman. I couldn't have answered the question better myself!

zixcreator

I think the first step is to examine what you are using now. You mentioned you are using some rather harsh shampoos. Give your scalp a break from them for a few weeks and see what happens. If you scalp improves then gradually reintroduce Nizoral but only maybe twice per week. You are verbalizing a c...

zixcreator

Yep....call them up and send them back. Dr Maricle warranties them for life.

OMG is swamped right now. He's trying to play catch up with helmets and e-mails. The e-mails are killing him. He's flooded everyday with them. Keep trying. He will respond in time.

HI 1.

You should apply zix after you're done lasering. You want as clean a scalp as possible for your laser treatments. The only exceptions would be something like emu oil which some believe enhances the benefits of lasering.

zixcreator

Remember we got results with zix long before anyone used alcohol in it. You can also reduce the amount of alcohol in sper zix II. Remember though alcohol in and of itself has shown in at least one study to have a weak hair regrowing benefit. We can also adjust the drying effect of alcohol by adding ...

Yea I bought the stuff but never really messed around with it for very long. Just one of those things in life that's still on the drawing board!

The hair transplanted from the back to the front is genetically superior and not affected by blood flow issues. But again I believe increased blood flow accelerates hair loss (in gentically challenged follicles). Decreased blood flow slows hair loss. We should stop assuming that improving blood flow...

zixcreator

because it's not a genetically inferior to the hair in the front.

zixcreator

That's OK dex. We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one!

Waseda was a very popular treatment years ago with many claiming benefit. It died away of course because old treatments almost always die regardless if they are effective or not. The "30 month window" is such that even good treatments get abandoned in the pursuit of a better one. No matter how good ...

zixcreator

I don't recall anyone trying bayberry. But to me it's still on the drawing board.....I never seem to get around to it. But I am contemplating using my oldest son as a guinea pig for what I might call the "zix protocol". It would include Nizoral shampoo twice a week. The Laser helmet 3 times per week...

For about a decade now I've noticed that the people most obscessed and worried about losing their hair are the poorest responders to treatment. It could be stress or it could be that they tend to jump from treatment to treatment without giving something enough time to work. Hairy77 was the best exam...

Hi jksl. No there are no fillers in the powder but I'm now using the capsules again. The powder is a pain in the ass to measure. There are some fillers in the capsules but since the formula originally used capsules and since this formula worked for a lot of people I'm not concerned about the fillers...

Has to do with Jacob deleting a post of mine here, and abusing his moderative abilities when it's OMG, myself, and a few others that will be working our asses off to make this into a massive hair loss resource for newbies and veterans alike. Yea...agreed nidhogge. That's another really good point. ...

An elected moderator is the only way to make people truly feel it is their community. As far as someone selling things, I wouldn't have a problem with that fact. At least that person is disclosing any vested interest he may have. It's the shills that push a product, claim personal success, and then ...

I have an idea for picking moderators. First only those who have posted regularly over the year are the only ones permitted to vote. For example voting rights would only be given to those that posted say 300 times in the course of a year. Then anyone who wished to be a moderator would list themselve...

zixcreator

YES...I believe it is possible. In my experience it is also the easiest hair loss to treat.

Hi cuebreeze. When someone is on Fin it cuts circulationg DHT. So the body reacts by creating more DHT receptors in an effort to uptake as much DHT as possible. (The body becomes more efficient at using what little DHT there is). This rebound effect varies from person to person. But to some degree i...

Hi SW2.

Copper peptides have been around a long time now. In my humble opinion copper peptides have been a huge disappointment. I would look elsewhere.

zixcreator

If you find something, a certain combo, (whatever it is) and you're getting great results and the sides aren't bothering you too much , IMHO, stick with it. Completely agree. "If it ain't broke don't fix it". There's something a lot of people don't realize about propecia. When it cuts circulationg ...

Sweat can sting the scalp due to the high sodium content in perspiration. The more excoriated the skin the worse it will sting. Topicals and shampooing tend to keep the scalp a bit more excoriated than the rest of the skin. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

zixcreator

Hi Raxe. I know what you are going through. I really do. I can't speak for OMG but it sounds like you have really not given the laser helmet enough time. Hang in there. You can always start propecia next year. There are also cosmetic products you can use for awhile to hide your crown area if this is...

OMG wrote: Most everyone at the old board is! Lol... Even Sam is here. Most of us have had good results. Now, if you're asking why it's taking a year to spread to other sites, it's a reason you may not want to hear -controlled content! I won't go into that, though, because I'm sure I look like I'm ...

Oh Boy. Here we go again.

Suffice it to say the guy has been proven wrong. You up for this OMG?

zixcreator

Does he have health insurance? Because a medical diagnosis of low thyroid would stregthen the compliance with treatment. If he simply starts treating the condition himself he will probably at some point stop treatment because he will assume he never really had the condition. Don't we all have a long...

zixcreator

No.....I'm beyond the 30 month window. Treatment would be pointless. I have one on order from OMG though for both my sons.

That said I've never seen more anecdotal evidence for a hair loss treatment. Not even for propecia. Also a trust the word of a great deal of the people making testimonials.

Cue, if you suspect you are slightly hypothyroid I suggest first trying to supplement with Iodine. Hi Happyman! In my opinion I don't think disregarding conventional medicine is really the most responsible way to proceed. He should first see a physician and get the appropriate lab work done. Though...

zixcreator

In my humble opinion you should start by going to your doctor and getting a T3, T4, and TSH level. If you have low thyroid this is the easiest thing in the world to treat with synthroid. The drug is clean too. Meaning no real side effects (in almost all cases) except problems associated with overdos...

zixcreator

Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

zixcreator

So I guess what I'm saying is this. If serum DHT has been dramatically lowered...well increasing blood flow would be OK. But unless you do this first, increasing blood flow would be bad because it would subject the follicles to even more DHT.

zixcreator

Just my humble opinion but I don't think baldness can be cured. But it can be prevented with existing therapies. 1. A high quality laser helmet. 2. Nizoral shampoo or a shampoo that contains ketoconazole. 3. A topical DHT blocker combined with a receptor site blocker. I'd be willing to bet that this...

zixcreator

OMG....I will try to explain away your comments as best I can about lasers etc. increasing blood flow. There are really two kinds of "increased blood flow". The first kind is temporary and lasts only a short period of time. The second is chronic and lasts 24/7. Short term blood flow is good.....beca...

zixcreator

I'm not necessisarily saying increasing blood flow is bad. I just have my doubts about the whole subject so I'm throwing this out there to get other people's ideas. Here's my post from the other thread: I believe that improving blood flow to the scalp will accelerate hair loss. Improving blood flow ...

Referring to 517 being banned on regrowth. 517 you know I love you man. That goes without saying.

Most allergist wil state the first step is avoidance. I would start out with going to Walmart and getting a HEPA filter. They cost about $80.

"I find that there are a lot of forums, and that usually less is better."

Yes! Exactly! Start out with things very simple!

But I have no doubt this is gonna be a great forum.

As the owner you want to encourage people to visit the main page. However even if you go to the forum section it is divided up into categories. If someone posts in an obscure category he may wait a week for a response! But if it pops up on the main page he will get a response much more quickly becau...

The main page is where you want your regular traffic to get in the habit of going. That's where the advertising is and also any new articles etc. That's where you want your posters going. On the regrowth forum I always went to the main page to do my posting. I rarely ever went into the forum and cho...

But I mean to the top of the list on the main page of the site. That's the way to regrowth system was set up.

Nor did my previous post bump this thread up to the top.

I just added a post to the "thinning Galea + blood flow" and it didn't bump up to the top. What am I missing here?
