Guys,
I happen to subscribe to Stephen Foote's idea on the edema, permeability hairloss theory. Since minoxidil is a vasculator and widens arteries to increase blood flow, it also increases cellular permeability. There fore minoxidil actually would make things worse if you subscribe to Stephen Footes Theory...right? Maybe I am wrong. If ther really is a edema of the scalp in hairloss would the alcohol, being a topical diuretic, actually being douing the good work minoxidil does. Has anyone used minoxidil without alcohol and had a great reaction to it?
Just some thoughts. Please give me your thoughts guys.
