How Effective Can A Raw Food Diet Be In Stopping/ Reversing male pattern baldness?

[Nikki Lauda]

I have definitely read enough about inflammation being a cause and sugar killing the hairline and another study about low SHBG causing premature baldness being a male version of PCOS in some cases. So can't a raw food diet technically help fix it then?

If your hair loss is the direct result of a nutritional deficiency a raw diet that replaces those lost nutrients will help. It will not however, have any effect on androgenic alopecia.

isn't androgenetic alopecia a hormonal disability too end of the day? Plus there are research papers showing premature balding (before age 30) to be the male equivalent of PCOS

i'll try something like this personally and see if it works out, of course in addition to the big 3

In woman yes it can because there is very little estradiol to regulate the elevated androgen levels caused by ovarian cysts.

have u even read the studies I posted?

No, PCOS is a completely different thing. Androgenic alopecia has nothing to do with an imbalance of hormones, its a genetically inherited sensitivity people have to DHT.

Did you even read the abstracts?

if it's androgenetic alopecia, a raw food diet will only help slightly, and you'll still probably go bald. This is because of the reduction in testosterone that is sometimes seen in those who eat a lower calorie, raw food diet. You might save yourself time, but probably no more than a few years imo. Diet has very little effect.

There's plenty of raw foodists who have lost most of their hair. Check them out on youtube.

I eat a mostly raw food, low calorie diet (CRON), and have had thick hair all throughout my 20s, but just last year I noticed slight thinning on the sides of my hairline, and average decrease in ponytail circumference. It always changed between 3.5-4 inch depending on seasonal shedding and other factors, but my hair was around 4 inch for many years. It was just over 3 before i started finasteride. And yeah, finasteride has really thickened my hair up all over. So even though my hair was still normal thickness, I think it's best to catch it early.

Why not get on low dose oral spironolactone if you this mad about hairloss?!
