It certainly won't cure my hairloss, but if it loweres my prolactin I'll be happy. I bought mine from mitolab do to there chemical analysis. MB is prone to containing heavy metals so I wouldn't buy fish tank grade.

Be aware guys, this also reduces estrogen levels. May fux with your hair negatively from that perspective.

This is actually quite interesting. Methylene blue is very similar in structure to Gallocyanin which is an inhibitor of Dkk-1 (implicated in androgenic alopecia). There may be more to this, the problem is it will dye your skin.

Is ketchup red? Why is that? Is tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

Looks like there could be huge benefits of taking this topically. Having an agent that could potentially activate the Wnt pathway with a safety profile so we know we won't get cancer? Could be huge.

Might not dye skin too bad? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/lsm.10204

Can also combine with light therapy? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ced.12459

I meant the whole scalp with 830 nm. But I no longer use it. It's not strong enough anymore. My hormones are higher and it stopped working.
Man I hate reading about all the crap you’ve been through with no luck. If we ever find the cure I’m sending you a fruit basket or some sh*t because you deserve the sweet life.

It’s also manages cortisol issues. It helps with glucocorticoid balance when you have developed receptor resistance to it after chronic stress. So like if someone was insulin resistant diabetic, they take insulin. Like that but with glucocorticoids. It is also an antioxidising agent of sorts I believe.

Might buy some from health natura and try it; probably get a red light too :rolleyes:
I want to get a res light but the ones you get are mostly too expensive and I can’t imagine that a laser from any distance would be very effective

Also everyone says it stains blue for like a whole day

It helps reduce the nitric oxide from dht and something something, I haven't read enough. Someone posted this to me on another forum:
"
If your open to change, I suggest that you look into red lights. For the past 6 months, I have been using the handheld LGS7 from Red Light Therapy . I have had good results; new growth and some re-pigmentation. The handheld devices are the best value and not much of a financial commitment. They are also very versatile. I shine the light on my scalp, my thyroid and my liver area.

I became convinced of the utility of red light after reading reviews at Amazon for a helmet. The price tag for the helmet is outrageous but reading the reviews are free. Here is a link. https://www.amazon.com/iRestore-Las...8&qid=1526952259&sr=8-3&keywords=laser+helmet

Best of luck."
The red light he is using is $65

There higher?

That's strange, because as we age, our hormones get lower (past 24).
