Natural doesn't work, you're wasting your time and money. At most, it could delay hairloss for months to a few years if you had started doing "natural" for many years prior to noticeable hair loss. That is an optimistic view. You need finasteride. I've watched so many people fail and lose all...

If there is no hard disc shaped tissue behind there, then just try to cut and lose some fat. Here's a diagram of real gynecemastia. Hover the mouse over large, intermediate and small and you'll see it show on the picture...

The expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 in follicular dermal papillae correlates with therapeutic efficacy of finasteride in androgenetic alopecia. RESULTS: IGF-1 was up-regulated by finasteride treatment in 4 of 9 patients. Among the patients with increased IGF-1 expression, 3 of them...

My GP told me he started going bald when he was 14. He still has a decent amount of hair now, but you never know where you're gonna end up.... I'd get a second opinion! Also make sure you're eating well... take a multi.

if it's androgenetic alopecia, a raw food diet will only help slightly, and you'll still probably go bald. This is because of the reduction in testosterone that is sometimes seen in those who eat a lower calorie, raw food diet. You might save yourself time, but probably no more than a few years...

Yup, it will reduce DHT levels by as much as 70%

It could very well be Telogen Effluvium given what you went through. Do you have pictures before this happened? It's also possible that you're seeing the effects of both. You can have tests done to see if it is male pattern baldness. There's also genetic tests by 23andMe which can give you information on your...

What? No, I totally disagree. Things are really starting to progress now with gene therapy (CRISPR being just one significant breakhrough), Stem cell research, and other areas. Artificial intelligence, and exponential increase in computing power will just accelerate this trend. Not only will we...

Seasonal Sheds. Most (all?) people have them.

Stay away from these type of forums. I've been around them before when I had a very bad reaction to Cipro (antibiotic), and I noticed people obsess and even years later think everything that is happening to them is a result of the drug. It's true that drugs can and do cause side effects, but...

Some people don't respond. There are other drugs which are more powerful that can help you. First of all though I'd make sure your diet is really good. Include higher protein foods, or some whey protein. Low IGF-1 levels, at least locally, are shown in people who do not respond to Finateride...

There's no good reason why Finasteride would suddenly stop working after 5 years? If one has recovered hair using Finateride, then the results should hold up. Regrowing lost hair is harder, so it's always best to take it before it ever gets to that stage. The answer is simple: start it as soon...

wow that's crazy! He looks way older too. :eek: Some people get so much older, so fast. I'm almost the same age as him, but I haven't really changed at all in 15 years. It's just freaky to me how quickly people can change D:

Biotin made me breakout like crazy and it never stopped for the entire time I used it, which was months! I was taking around 5000 mcg though. Fortunately my skin has healed fast without too much damage (with the help of antibiotics). I never had such bad acne since I was a teenager. That being...

Nice results! :)
