    I'm Going To Test A Brotzu-esque All Natural Topical

    Dude, just use s-equol. http://www.ebay.com/itm/With-Track-OTSUKA-EQUELLE-EQUOL-by-Soy-Power-Suppl-for-Womens-health-/112104618680?hash=item1a19f4bab8:g:dAgAAOSwMtxXsL3X But as has been said: it's the cationic liposomal vehicle that's the issue here. You can't reproduce that from your home.

    Whatevr's Success Story - With Timeline

    Nice finasteride result. He stopped his finasteride literally... 2 months ago. He was on it for over ayear. It takes the enzyme time to recover -- 2 months span, you'd still retain your gains from the 5aRI. Lets see his hair in 6 months to a year.

    Who used OC and did not see results?

    once a week 0.5%. gives me hypersensitivity reaction so i cant use more than this. i believe i lost some density since dropping finas, and i used finasteride even less dose sometimes once every 2 weeks.

    Topical Cetrizine for Hair Loss instead of Finasteride (Propecia)

    Nobody uses it anymore given that OC and setipiprant are increasingly available. But OC gives me sides so I just started trialing it at 10 mg a day. I will let you know how it goes.

    Interview with Dr. Cotsarelis

    great work at making it to the congress and investing your time into grilling these people! you mean PTGDS inhibitors? is this what AM211 is? if so, its interesting they arent dose dependent (like finasteride basically isnt) i would try to talk to garza. afterall, he authored the more lay...

    Topical Cetirizine more effective twice a day?

    I thought the PTGDS upregulation in Androgenetic Alopecia was NOT due to mast cell degranulation, but we really don't know the full role of the mast cells in this pathology. I was going back over the original Translational Medicine paper, and they DID note increased mast cell proliferation. They write...
