I have always been lactose intolerant, and my allergy seems to have gotten worse with age. I noticed my scalp was getting pimples, and when i stopped dairy they went away. After 2-3 weeks with no pimples I had some dairy and the next day broke out. Now their may be no cause and effect here but if there is some slight chance they are correlated and thus attributing to my male pattern baldness(speeding it up) then it is worth it. I am also on propecia and using a coal tar shampoo. So it could very well be the propecia rebalancing my hormones that caused the pimples. But I have been pimple free for nearly 2 months and it feels great and hair is feeling so much better.

Cow's milk is a very common food intolerance in humans. Not only can many people have problems with digesting the lactose disaccharide but cow milk contains a protein called casein. While varying forms of casein are found in all mammalian milk the profiles of which types of casein and how much of each are different for each source.
Casein can be broken down in the body into histamine releasing hormones that increase inflammation. It's a potential source (documented more in rats than humans) for elevated levels of IGF-1 and also a possible carcinogen.
As far as goat milk is concerned, it is naturally lower in lactose than cow milk, has different levels of casein (less of the problematic one) and may even help prevent diabetes.
Attempting to avoid cow milk from cows treated with artificial hormones is a good thing in general to do for your health as there have been plenty of studies showing that the hormonal treatment does affect not only the make up of the milk, but how it affects the organisms that consume the milk. However the most common source of this tainted milk is not from the plastic gallon jug. Where you cluelessly consume it each day is in the form of processed foods and ice cream.
Whenever you look on a jug of milk and see that "does not come from rbgh treated cows", have you ever stopped to think "if all the jugs I've ever looked at contain this label, then no cows milk must be from treated cows and in that case, why even need the label?". The reason is, most people know now to not buy the obvious sources of the rBGH treated dairy however if you look closely you'll notice how that label is absent from almost all brands of icecream (save ben & jerry), it's also absent from the millions of processed food items that contain "milk protein", "milk powder" etc. This tainted milk is much cheaper and therefor a much better option for food manufacturers to make their product with for maximum profit. All the meanwhile pumping small doses of poisonous proteins into the population.
But don't worry, the FDA says there's no difference...

Hmm this is interesting...
My diet is naturally pretty dairy-heavy, I tend to go for dairy products without really thinking - cheese-heavy pizzas, cereal, ice cream, yogurts, milk, etc etc
Hell, even my favourite curry is Korma and I think think that's as much due to the cream as it is down to how mild it is lol
I do wonder if all this contributed in some way to my hair loss. I find it interesting that it is high in estrogens, for example.
I know for a fact that I am sensitive in some way to egg, and my hair loss started right after my digestive and food allergy problems. I do wonder how this all relates.

I think you're on to something hoppi this is brilliant, think about it. babies drink breast milk and they're bald. I think the hair supplement companies are in league with the dairy farmers. I can't go into further detail right now I must seek the underground.
