I would have to agree, information such as this cannot be stressed enough, for every action there can be a possible reaction, no "free lunches" in this world.

Bryan... As per the graphs you submitted, based on using a ruler as you did, hair count percentage increases were as follows at 48 weeks: 2% minoxidil....27% increase from starting point 0 5% minoxidil....33% increase from starting point 0 The difference translates into 5% minoxidil...

Personally I believe the Price study underestimates the magnitude of difference between 5% and 2%. In my own experience, having employed both concentrations, I have found 5% to be significantly better then 2%. This particular study more accurately reflects my personal experience...

You apparently have not read what I stated. First, once daily minoxidil can grow hair, but not as well as twice daily. Secondly, if you remove the Retin-A from your protocol, you will not achieve the same results as you have with it, it will be less efficacious for a number of reasons. These...

True, but this does not offset the loss of DHT, specifically the effects of DHT on the central nervous system, which leads to increased neurological efficiency (strength), and increased resistance to psychological and physical stress (recuperation). As hard as one works out, it is during this...

Gladly. DHT is known to interact with the central nervous system through neural receptors. The strong interaction between the central nervous system and skeletal muscles is of key importance, as these two areas interact to form what is referred to as the neuromuscular system. The ability of...

You have misinterpreted my statement, I have not said gains will cease, only that the end results would not be equivalent had DHT not been suppressed. If you had not been on these drugs you would have reaped additional benefits from your efforts, this is fact. DHT has a significant impact on...

Buildin... Both will be effective from the onset on therapy, obviously dutasteride will be slightly more powerful. Use of these drugs can be somewhat detrimental in achieving muscle and strength gains. Dihydrotestosterone is the most potent androgen found in the human body, three to four times...

Joseph... The Retin-A is the deciding factor in you continued growth, remove it from the equation, and results will suffer.

Once daily minoxidil will give some results, but not the same as twice daily. In fact once daily will not even will not even maintain the results achieved by a twice a day regime. Dr.Bernstein is incorrect, as stated his assumption is hypothetical. There have been studies to that prove this...
