I just cleaned up my web site.

It was very behind the times. It should be a lot more helpful now.

Would like to see updated and clearer pictures, but the regimen is looking good...I'm gonna wait awhile on the "kitchen sink" approach though

Where in Texas do you live? I'm from Houston...

if you're from houston then maybe you can meet Bryan. Haha.

QUESTION:

Lets say I do not buy tricomin so I'll only use folligen. Why do you dilute it? I was reading the folligen website and it does not say to dilute it. Is it because of the green color the stuff has?

Another question, you mention adding 2 green tea capsules to the minoxidil bottle but how many milligrams of do these capsules have per capsule? I ask this because sometimes the supplement brands have different mg concentrations per capsule.

THANKS!

Folligen by itself can be irritating on the scalp. It really depends how you react to it. I dilute mine a bit because there is irritation. What do you other guys think?

 

[CCS]

the guy who sells it says to use it every other day. i think using half the strength every day is the same. I'm no expert on that. I'm considering doing 60 or 70% strength later.

as for the green tea extract, i don't know the best dose. I can get it so cheap that I'll just put a gram in there. I hope the low price does not mean it is fake.

So far I ordered everything except my borage seed oil and RU.

I'm not in texas. I had to put some city on myspace to make an account, and texas seems like a big enough state that anyone trying to hunt me down should take some time finding me. Maybe I'm paranoid, but if I say anything on here and some company wants to sue me for calling their product a scam, I have to have some defenses.

I'm actually glad the moderators deleted my uv spectroscopy post. Those graphs could have been used as evidence if GSK or Merk wanted to sue me for helping people know the patent enfringers are safe.

Nobody deleted anything, it's still there. You should take a second to think before you accuse somebody of something.

:roll:

 

[CCS]

beaner told me it was deleted. I did a search for using the key word UV. Oh well. So it is still there.

Here is how to use search......

Let's say you want to find something real specific by a certain user. Like when Bryan talks about "Proxiphen"

1. Goto search button

2. Goto-"Search for Keywords:" Proxiphen

3. Goto-"Search for Author:" Bryan

So your filling in both fields. Ok?

Now try that and see how much easier it is. It makes searching much faster and easier.

:thumbs_up:

 

[Hawaii male]

thanks for the search lesson Cassin :lol:

Don't dilute folligen - i've found it actually makes the staining worse. The alcohol and PPG are moreover important as vectors for the copper to get into the follicles.

 

[CCS]

I don't get any staining. But I'll stop diluting it I guess, and see what it feels like. I never tried it undiluted before. I doubt it will irritate my scalp anyway. but I'll just do it EOD.

Did Dr Parcard say it is best to use folligen EOD? What if I rotate tricomin in with that? What would be a good dosing schedule then?

Who is Dr Pickard?

 

[CCS]

OK, it is Pickart, the folligen guy.

 

[Guest]

i thought people are supposed to use tricomin or folligen twice a day? so if you alternated wouldn't you use say folligen every morning and tricomin every night?

 

[Felk]

Its weird. I'd definately say tricomin twice a day, because the trial with the stronger strength of tricomin was twice a day, and this version is weaker, so twice a day seems necessary.

However JWM quoted an email from Pickart advising him to use folligen only every 2nd day. We must remember that though folligen doesn't have the specific peptides proven in the partial FDA tricomin studies, one lab tested it and found it to be something like 33 times stronger in copper peptide concentration.

So tricomin twice a day, folligen every second day, would seem like the way to go (unless you're using both)

Now factor in that tricomin is more than twice as expensive as folligen ($30 for 8 oz, $48 for 6 oz) if you are using it four times as much...

Folligen is now 8 times cheaper than tricomin. You can see why many people opt for this one

 

[Nathaniel]

So guys,

The moral of the story is to NOT dilute folligen and use it EOD....Right?

 

[CCS]

one lab tested it and found it to be something like 33 times stronger in copper peptide concentration (of tricomin)

It never ceases to amaze me how some people will believe everything they hear and not even do some simple math to realize it is total bull sh*t.

Even if tricomin is only 0.5%, that means the folligen is 16.5%. That would be a cram, not a spray. No way is the folligen that thick. In an interview I posted in the experimental section, dr pickart agrees with the interviewer that folligen is less than 1%, as are all copper peptide solutions.

Bryan interpretted a different email to mean tricomin is 2%. I made a 2% copper sulfate solution in the lab, and it did not look as thick as the tricomin in the picture. Of course I'm sure the tricomin has other stuff to make it creamier, or perhaps some dyes.

Anyway, it is NOT 33x more, and I think the lab did not account for the dye or the person relaying the info is wrong.
