Hormone problem?

I think its either that or unbalanced chi lead to unbalanced hormone, or a weak kidney cannot filter out DHT in your blood. I don't really know.

I think the DHT in the blood has relatively little to do with balding. It's the DHT that's generated inside hair follicle cells which causes the problem.

Wouldn't more in blood = more in follicle?

 

[Bryan]

Yes, but I'm saying that the DHT that drifts in from the blood is a relatively small part of the _total_ DHT to which the hair follicles are exposed. If 90% or so (just a wild guess) of the DHT that binds to androgen receptors in hair follicle cells is self-generated within those same cells, why worry about the 10% or so which comes back in from the blood?

Does anyone know if there is an enicrinological forum or something of the sort for me to ask this question? It turned into a Chinese Medicine thing somehow...

Turn it up!
