LOL why is Procer!n blocked out but Propecia and Finasteride arent??? This site advertise Propecia/Finasteride or something??

 

[hairhoper]

Um perhaps because 'Procer!n' is a crock of sh*t which claims to block DHT with, to quote: "no side effects".

Stay well away.

Regarding Saw Palmetto, it has the same sexual side-effects as Finasteride as well as many others not attributed to finasteride due to its action (digestive sides etc). It's also far less studied for hairloss than Finasteride.

Basically both that Procer!n sh*t and Saw Palmetto in general are both pretty ill-advised choices.

People do not have any sexual side effects from taking Saw Palmetto and its safe and natural, probably why its not as effective as Finasteride. I really doubt it would be on sale in chemists and shops if it had the same sexual side effects as Finasteride. As I said Id rather go down the natural route as it has worked for many people and could work for me.

Not true. http://prostate.emedtv.com/saw-palmetto ... fects.html

...and its safe and natural

Nope just natural.

, probably why its not as effective as Finasteride.

We don't know how effective it is, it's not well studied for hairloss, unlike finasteride.

I really doubt it would be on sale in chemists and shops if it had the same sexual side effects as Finasteride.

As a supplement it is sold in such low doses that it probably really won't do 'anything', but if you were to take what theoretically could be an 'effective dose' you would run the risk of just as many sides as finasteride, if not more.

As I said Id rather go down the natural route as it has worked for many people and could work for me.

Rubbish. Where are these many people?

'The natural route' is a fools gold. Many medications are derived from natural ingredients. It does not make them safe. Here's a list of common drugs derived from plants: http://chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa061403a.htm

Would you say cocaine and morphine are safe? And to give an example of an issue recently discussed here, Vitamin A is natural but used at high doses is very dangerous.

Here's a good article on SP. Read it: http://altmedicine.about.com/od/qalibra ... lmetto.htm

I don't know why you are even bothering Hairhoper. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink....

 

[hairhoper]

True. *banghead*.

It's just there are about 3 saw palmetto threads on the go at the mo and it scares me :/

My 1st bottle of foam, the cap broke and it became impossible to get the foam out. So I threw it out and said hopefully wont happen again. 2nd bottle is gone to liquid again, but whats worse is the cap has broken again and its hard to get the stuff out.. What am I doing to break the cap?? Could I break the can and put the foam in a container in the fridge??
Was thinking maybe my foam is fake or something?? I bought it from here>> http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... K:MEWNX:IT

So Ive added 10% Minoxidl with 5% azelaic acid DHT blocker. Just wondering should I use the rogaine 5% with it aswell or is that pointless??? My hair gets quite sticky/greasy after I apply the 10% with the azelaic and it takes a while to dry in. Should I wash it off before I use it or the Rogaine foam again??
For people who dont know this is what I got......http://www.ebay.ie/itm/350449379306?ssP ... 1439.l2648

I may start a new thread on it but hoping Il get answers here. Should I use the rogaine foam before or after it? This stuff has Retinol in it which should help the Minoxidl to penetrate the scalp.
