You guys have been a bit harsh on me. But it's fine, no hard feelings, besides we're all on the same boat.
Are we really calling researchers that do hard original scientific work bozos now? These people literally travel to the tropics, document a unique super rare genetic disorder among a local populace in a remote village, diagnose said disorder and in doing so make 2 important discoveries concerning the prostate and MPΒ. The parallels you are drawing between these individuals and yourself maybe one of the reasons why a lot of people are struggling to take you and your theory seriously.Ohh sh*t man!! Imagine that the best growth stimulant we have has been accidentaly discovered by a bozo researching blood pressur (wich isn't even good for blood pressure), Imagine the best 5ar inhibitor being discovered by a bozo studying enlarged prostates. And now imagine a bozo on reddit connecting the dots. f*** this is hard times to be one of the hundreds of thousands of hair loss researchers. LOL
That's some serious irony.I hate the arrogance here. Like this HairLossTalk.com forum would be something like a super squat of high level researchers being able to debunk anything proudly leaded by their cocaine stuffed nobel prize aspirant Kevin Mann.
Happy broscience day to you all !!1! lmao
thanks for the nice quote. i never said that he is a scientific. And you are wrong in thinking that its up to him to prove that the theory is right. He doesn't owe you anything. He just shared what his thoughts are. but anyway this thread should be about 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (proving its usefullness or it's uselessness) and less about mocking a random guy. Don't you agree?Science:
the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment
He has no legitimate observations or experiments showing how this stuff works to grow hair on scalps. The onus is on him to systematically provide legitimate observations and experiments to discuss.
The thread should be about something that doesn't exist? You didn't even watch the video or you wouldn't keep calling it that.

In fairness, I don't know how anyone could make it through an entire Kevin Mann videoYou didn't even watch the video or you wouldn't keep calling it that.
If anaesthetics worked by shutting down blood flow you'd be dead. Anasthetics work by interferring/suppressing signalling within the nervous system.Anesthetics work in this way- they shut blood flow to the nerves therefore stopping both pain and bleeding
No, Im talking about local not general. Again, Im quoting a surgeon directly.If anaesthetics worked by shutting down blood flow you'd be dead. Anasthetics work by interferring/suppressing signalling within the nervous system.
Then you are either misquoting or your source is wrong. GA and LA work in much the same way, many anaesthetics actually cause vasodilation, i.e., cocaine, causing blood flow to increase, this can be quite dangerous so typically anaesthetics are mixed with vasoconstrictors, i.e., epinephrine which helps to keeps an LA localNo, Im talking about local not general. Again, Im quoting a surgeon directly.
Then im probably misquoting or he was simplifying the conversation by including epinephrine, as we all know scalps bleed profusely and one could imagine someone trying to have a transplant surgery without the vasoconstrictors.. would be a mess.No, Im talking about local not general.

I'm sorry where are you getting the vasoconstrictors cause shock loss idea from? Shock loss in hair transplants is caused by the unavoidable trauma a grafts experiences during extraction and relocation.Then im probably misquoting or he was simplifying the conversation by including epinephrine, as we all know scalps bleed profusely and one could imagine someone trying to have a transplant surgery without the vasoconstrictors.. would be a mess.
More to the point, if the *vasoconstrictors* can and do cause shock loss from temporary total starvation of circulation.. then why is the Kevin guy so convinced that "bludflow" is irrelevant???? If thats wrong is he really so astute as to disprove the theory? Im not defending the theory just asking.
Actually, I cited my source; a long in person conversation with a world-renowned expert with decades in the field. And I think Beta and I were having a conversation, not a debate. He corrected my misunderstanding about vasoconstriction vs anesthetics, and he even managed to be polite. Apparently you feel Dr. Rassman's thousands of hours preforming surgeries is dubious compared to your hunchy anecdotal wisdom but Ill take his word for it.do whatever you want, but some advice - don't get sucked into debating yet another person with zero references or personal experience, especially over someone else's theory. "my presentation of what my infallible expert said to discredit someone else's infallible expert"
it would be different if Rassman was presenting his clinical experience personally.
it is not clear what a one off vasoconstriction would do.
Hair Loss and Scalp Cooling (mascc.org)
Chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a common and distressing side effect of cancer therapy and presents a major supportive care challenge. Scalp cooling has been shown to be effective for preventing hair loss for many patients. Although the mechanism for its effect is not certain, it is hypothesized that cooling of the scalp causes cutaneous vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the hair follicles thereby as well as the uptake of chemotherapeutic agents.
ongoing vasoconstriction might be detrimental
Subcutaneous blood flow in early male pattern baldness - PubMed (nih.gov)
A reduced nutritive blood flow to the hair follicles might be a significant event in the pathogenesis of early male pattern baldness.
I've experimented/ing with nitrites/trates and PDE5 inhibitors, until i get full coverage band boy hair, i'm not claiming how or if anything works...
but i'm open to novel approaches if op has something coherent to share...
