Hi everyone,
some of you might've already seen my thread on modelling and understanding the hair loss process. By now, I've read approx. 100 scientific papers on Androgenetic Alopecia/male pattern baldness. It turns out that the profile of Androgenetic Alopecia/male pattern baldness is suprisingly similar to that of typical pollen allergies. In both cases, the immune system is overly sensitive and aggressive. In both cases, it releases huge amounts of PGD-2. In both cases, the initial trigger and root cause is still unknown.
Furthermore, people with pollen allergies have a far more reactive, sensitive and aggressive immune system in general. And as everybody knows, this is at least locally the case in Androgenetic Alopecia/male pattern baldness.
Thus, I would like to explore this matter a bit. For this I need as many people as possible to fill out the following sheet and post it here:
Norwood: [0-7]
Professional allergy test results: yes/no
Allergies:
Rye: [0-6]/uknown
Goosefoots/chenopodium: [0-6]/uknown
Alder: [0-6]/uknown
Birch: [0-6]/uknown
Oak: [0-6]/uknown
Salix caprea (goat willow/great sallow): [0-6]/uknown
Anthoxanthum odoratum (vernal grass/buffalo grass): [0-6]/uknown
Ryegrass (not rye!) (Lollum): [0-6]/uknown
Timothy-grass (Phleum pratense): [0-6]/uknown
Holcus lanatus (Yorkshire fog/tufted grass/meadow soft grass/velvet grass): [0-6]/uknown
Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort or common wormwood): [0-6]/uknown
Plantago lanceolata (ribwort plantain, English plantain, buckhorn plantain, narrowleaf plantain): [0-6]/uknown
Hazel: [0-6]/uknown
If you did not have a professional allergy test, but know some answers, please fill them in according to your own evaluation. Either way, state in the sheet whether you had a professional allergy test or not.
