Dear Michael Barry;
You are a very clever guy, like Mr. Bryan, but I don’t understand why you try to demolish my unsophisticated and simple theory. Nobody knows, neither me, exactly what happen in common baldness, due probably to the extrem complexity of PILOSEBACEOUS unit. Curiously, in the history, all remedies for common baldness are suported by a theory. Do you remember circulations factors?, or better, suffocation of hair root?
Snake oils – Suffocation of hair roots
Trasplants – Donor dominance
Minoxidil – nutrientes
Finasteride – Androgenetic theory
Aminexil – Fibrosis
Hedgedog – genetic
Hair multiplicaction – steem cells
You say: The succes of finasteride invalide my theory.
And then, what are doing Curis, Intercytex, etc? You mention TGF-beta, PCK etc. Why if the finasteride is the solution?
You say: Sebum backup does not cause baldness.
Sebum have androgens and sebaceous gland produce t and DHT. Then, what is your position? Do you agree with the current theory abous steroids? I don’t understand, you seem inconsistent.
And, please, read my theory (*) again, the first problem is not sebum backup but the interference in the travel of steem cells from the bulge area to dermal papilla.
You say: I think Armando is selling a baldness product with some old essential oils and topical anti-androgens and his marketing strategy is to tell bald men something that they long to hear (i.e.---it aint your faulty genetics making you bald) so that they will buy what he is selling instead of revivogen, crinagen, spironolactone, or whatever topical anti-androgen out there).
This is may bet. A topical and multifactorial product, and it is not for life. A type more sophisticated than revivogen which is applaude by someone.
You say: THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS f****ing HAIR TRANSPLANT SUCCESSES that have hair growing thirty years after the plugs were put in, even after the hair around them falls out invalidate anything about sebum causing hairloss.
You know that trasplanted hairs are longer and with better attention than originals. And, what about body hair trasplant versus donor dominance?
You say: Armando's trying to pad his retirement is all I can figure out. A lot of people in Spain are attempting to pad their retirements from what I can tell, as their birthrate is only 1.2 children per female, they will be a practically extinct people in less than 200 years if they dont start making some babies over there pretty soon. They are literally almost halving the size of each successive generation. You'd think Armando would be more worried about that instead of asserting an easily disprovable baldness theory.
OOHps, I don’t understand your idea, please, Are you mathematical?. OTOH In my family are five members, four women.
You say: Transplants alone wreck Armando's theory.
Are you sure??
Please Michael, two times in this post I asked Bryan one thing about androgens in scalp hairs before puberty. Have you any idea?
Finally, I have the same economics problems than the mayority of us, but my main concernn now is trying to give light in this thorny issue because there is a lot of people dealing with hormones without a firm security.
OTOH, if you continue attacking me, sadly I’ll cut our comunication
Be happy.
Armando
