I actually just talked to my doctor about this 2 days ago when I switched to Propecia from avodart. Basically regarding the hairline he said that it is more likely that people are taking the drug, and what happens is that since the hairline is the hardest area to stop the balding process, some...

So I've decided to switch to Propecia like the subject says. Mainly because I've noticed how strong Avodart is and I'm worried that in the future there could be some serious negative effects. The main effect I've noticed is it's basically a steroid if you go to the gym. The increase in...

You forgot to carry the zero...

I was thinking of using foam in the mornings and liquid at night, but I don't know how safe in terms of sheds, it is to use both at the same time. I mean logically they are both very similar except for the extra chemicals in the liquid as a delivery mechanism correct?

lol timi I'm pretty new to actually replying to this forum but I've been reading it for awhile. It seems like between finasteride, dutast, and minoxidil, all of them have been your savior and your curse at one point in time. Are you giving all of these products enough time to react?

That is a very interesting study. I'm a bit lost in the weight vs the actual count? What are they both representing? The right graph seems like it is number (of hairs?) gained per week?

Are you guys on the foam or liquid, just out of curiosity?

This is exactly what this forum needs more of. Substantiated evidence of trials. Can you also send a link to this study? That is very impressive. However if someone just CAN'T at ALL stand the grease of the liquid rogaine no matter how much they try, the foam is not a bad substitute. At...

That's bull sh*t because studies have proven that DHT is almost entirely broken down before it even reaches muscle tissue and COULD be useful for the anabolic process but since the body never lets it reach the necessary areas, does not contribute. In fact ever since I've been on Avodart I feel...

No because that statement has a little thing called a "controlled study" behind it. Things like facts are nice. When the company that produces the drug admits to those specific side effects, it's probably best to believe it along with all the documentation that comes with it to prove that.

This is 20 hair counts in a target area, which is usually 1 inch in diameter according to most of the studies I've read. 20 hair count is not bad considering something like avodart alone has shown in a, I think it was 16 week period, 98 hairs. So the combined 118 hairs in a 1 inch diameter is...

Regardless of what you say it doesn't prove anything. If I made a forum dedicated to how awesome avodart and rogaine foam is, especially at not causing shedding, and lots of people post saying "omg yus these are the best and they don't cause shedding" does that make it true? The problem here...

I can't stand hearsay. Why would avodart/finasteride/minoxidil cause you to shed at your hairline? Have there been any studies at all about this? I think most of the time people just aren't responsive and then blame the product. There is something called the Post Hoc fallacy which basically states that...

I've started taking a pretty complex supplement regimen and MSM is part of it. I am wondering if anyone has tried taking 3 - 4g of MSM a day and combining it with a MSM topical treatment as well? If so what is the best MSM topical out there? I read a study that a topical treatment may be...

I def agree that the big three are essential for anyone who wants to not just maintain, but have a chance at growing back more of what they had. Also, and this is what I think is the most overlooked part, vitamins!! There is nothing more crucial than this. If your body does not have the...
