I don't think it is possible to patent products like topical Spironolactone. For all I know you could see it from a different perspective: he is choosing to sell treatments that he cannot patent, thus putting effectiveness over profit. Anyhow, that's probably irrelevant. The important thing is...

I couldn't say for sure. I tried to guess what might happen but couldn't say for sure what will happen. As far as I can tell my argument seems sound, but sometimes in the human body two plus two aren't four. I believe that it's enough time, especially if you apply the minoxidil first. If you...

Yes, it was just a hypothesis. I was just guessing what might happen in a situation or the other. In 1) I tried to give a reason why applying first the product you care about most might be benefitial. In 2) I tried to give a reason from the opposite perspective (i.e. why it might be benefitial...

And this (i.e. your reply) is ad hominem. The fact that you don't understand it doesn't mean that it makes no sense.

If you tapered up slowly over many months, the shedding would most likely proceed in tiny increments and, most importantly, it would not be cumulative, since the hair shed in previous months would already be replaced by new anagen phase hairs. To put it simply: If you quickstart a treatment you...

You can view it in two different ways, depending on how you approach it: 1) If I apply product A before product B, I will increase product A's absortion since I will be putting it onto a clean scalp with no existing layer (of another product) to compete with for transdermal entry. So I apply...

If you are concerned about the shedding, you might slowly taper up the product over several months, so that it didn't have such a sudden effect. In the end, the results should be just as good with the benefit that you would distribute the shedding over a longer period of time, so that it won't...

If you want the benefits of an antiandrogen without the side effects the most logical choice would be that of a topical antiandrogen. Nonetheless, be wary, since some of them don't work locally but are absorbed systemically and give their benefits (and therefore their side effects) via that...

American Crew uses copper gluconate instead of copper peptides. I've been told here that copper gluconate is quite useless. If you buy the revitalize serum then yes, it contains copper peptides, instead of copper gluconate, but it doesn't seem to be precisely cheap. I guess that you would get...

I trust the quality of Dr. Proctor's products. The question is whether or not the products being sold at hairshopeurope are the same being offered by Dr. Proctor himself at his site or, on the contrary, they are fake. As far as I can tell, I haven't got the slightest idea one way or the other...

I have found that www.hairshopeurope.com carries some Dr Proctor products. They are shown here: http://www.hairshopeurope.com/shop/brow ... r._Proctor However, it's not clarified what the "Advanced Thinning Hair Treatment" is. Is it Proxyphen-N? Are these products probably not the real deal?

I have been reading some Bryan's posts, which I have found exceedingly interesting, where he claims: The point, of course, is that all minoxidil does is provide an extra "offset of growth". It doesn't interfere with the fundamental balding process, so balding continues, even if you continue to...

Everyone seems to be talking about either Folligen or Tricomin when the issue of copper peptides comes about. However, there is a product from American Crew, named Revitalize, that contains copper peptides as well. How would it compare to Folligen and Tricomin?

I'd like to know what the big deal about NANO shampoo is. Does it have any advantage over conventional minoxidil? Would it have the same problems, such as minoxidil-dependent follicles? Would the regrown hair be more "real" than what you get from minoxidil? (By "real" I mean what Bryan stated about...
