My temples receded Junior year of high school extremely bad, I caught on quick and have been using these treatments::: Anti-Inflammatory diet, Ground Flax Seeds, DIM, and Beta sitosterol, and Nizoral. Not only have I maintained my hair-line, it is slowly comming back to life. Diet plays a pivital part, as does the flax seeds, sitosterol, and of course exercise.

Yes, still on the regime plus more... but the ones I mentioned are most beneficial. Flax seeds provides fiber (lowers cholesterol), omega-3 (improves blood stream and is anti-inflammatory), and lignans, whey inhibit alpha-5-reductase and aromatase, it balances hormone levels. Beta Sitosterol works from within the intestines, it balances the immune system and relieves inflammation, also blocks the reabsorbtion on bile and cholesterol. This is the active ingrediant in Saw Palmetto. When it comes to DIM, you must bare with me... DIM, Flax, and Beta-Sitosterol are all important because they adress the two causes (in my opinion) of M.P.B. Inflammation and Estrogen. Testosterone is converted to estrogen via the Aromatase enzyme, also synthetic estrogen called Xenoestrogens enter the body via the diet (red meat, milk, butter, cheese) and are hard to remove. Over time estrogens accumulate faster than your can metabolise them, these estrogens not only bind to the estrogen receptors, they also bind to the androgen recepters, fooling the brain to think there is enough testosterone being produced, once this happens, I believe your body begins producing DHT to counteract this estrogen overload. So what happens is your testosterone levels are low do to conversion to estrogen, then are lowered even more producing DHT. DIM detoxifys your body of xenoestrogens and promotes healthy estrogen metabolism. Flax seeds are a Phytoestrogen, these are natural plant-estrogens that are many many times weaker than human estrogen, these are know to reduce Estradiol, which is a very strong estrogen created by either testosterone or androsterone and is know to reduce Growth Hormone secretion. It also inhibits aromatase, as does DIM and reduces inflammation, which can help to regrow hair, also it inhibits the infamous alpha-5-reductase. Coconut oil and Nizoral shampoo make a great toppical anti-inflammatory which really promotes regrowth.
