Without them - he would not even have those results. So, no use bringing that up as a point...
Estrogen is almost the only thing that brings any kind of results actually worth mentioning when it comes to this damn disease.
When someone comes up with a non-hormonal treatment that delivers the same regrowth as high-dose estrogen with very few side effects then you can color me impressed. Otherwise we're just talking about toys.
f*** a 2-3% improvement in hair density when as a balding man you have 25-30% hair density of a healthy head of hair.
>99% of the things you can use against your hair loss are so f*****g worthless, and so far from being any kind of decent treatment (let alone the cure) that they are hardly worth talking about. That goes for Finasteride, Minoxidil, and almost everything we have. If we could apply estrogen and CPA locally without them going systemic, we would begin to approach something worthy of being called a hair loss treatment. Everything else is, as we would say around these parts, "f*****g the wind sideways".
