Thanks Thin=depressed
I like the Idea of adding additional products to minoxidil as I dont trust any one product either and, until we know more, I believe more may be better (until proven otherwise). I need to read more about ALA, edta and topical dilantin and its mechanism (and studies) as this DIY approach may be a more affordable way to add some strength to the current meds. Dr. Proctor's products may be an easy way to do something similar to what you are doing, but I just added up the yearly cost of my meds and dont really have the enthusiasm to send more money to hairloss Doctor's. I am contributing plenty toward Dr. Lee's retirement fund right now, that should be enough.
I'm under the impression that our dht effected vellus hairs have a CRITICAL THRESHHOLD. Dht effected vellus hairs are very stuborn and would very much like to stay small but these products used individually weaken thier determined state of microsize. There are plenty of herbal approaches on the market in which a borage of small amounts of many herbs are added but herbs have thier limitations. So I'm challenging the same idea of applying the same concept but with meds in an attempt to bring the vellus hairs determined state to a stop. If vellus hairs could talk they would say "Alright mother f****r I'll start working already"

. Breaching the critical threshhold means approaching the problem from all directions of possable hairloss. Inflammation,lack of nutrients,blood flow,dht,testosterone levels,hydration issues. As for testosterone I'm under the impression that vellus hairs not only require the absence of dht but require low levels of test and a raise in estrogen levels; this is why flut is used in small doses. Its my opinion that topical dutasteride/flut combo is many times better than finasteride alone but require carefull application regardless. The hgh is self explaining. I'm really surprised at the lack of research or interest in hgh for hairloss because I feel its just as effective or better than copper peptides. Thats just my opinion.
