Hi guys, I have a question: Is there any cure for baldness? Except propecia and rogaine.
I am searching mainly for alternative medicine, or eastern medicine. Some secret . I am doing pranayam in the morning and also nails rubbing.
Also, is there going to be any cure in near future? I read about two cures (from western medicine), one is stem cell, which should be available in app 10 years, and then another one with mutated stressed mice, available probably in 5 years.

I have been experiencing hair loss for 1,5 years now and I have gotten into NW 1-1,5.

Just found this article and thought that you should read it:

Popular baldness drug linked to male breast cancer

Quote from article:
"Health Canada issued a warning Thursday telling consumers the drug, finasteride, could be potentially dangerous. The drug, which comes in one-milligram and five-milligram formats, is used in the lower dose to treat baldness and the higher dose to treat non-cancerous enlarged prostate. Previous studies have raised flags about the five-milligram format, sold in Canada under the brand name Proscar, including an increased risk of prostate cancer. "

Hope you find your cure to baldness

I bought my first lot of kefir from eBay only cost about four or five pounds plus postage and package ,you do not get a lot of kefir but it grows at a phenomenal rate,once the milk is kefired i make it into a smoothie with either bananas or fresh fruit and whip it up with a blender . I now have so much of the grains (or mushroom) as some people call it .I make cheese with the kefired milk i do not use. Pity you do not live nearer or i would happily give you some.

Do you have any side effects from using propecia or avodart? Both are famous for their bad side effects.
But rogaine extra strength and Ketoconazole shampoo are good. I wonder which of these things had biggest effect on your hair/Scalp and if I could stop hair loss and regrow hair back just with these two. Propecia is big no no for me.

Sorry for the late reply! No, I have never received any side effect from either drug. Everyone is different, but I have not had any physical, mental, sexual or other sorts of side effects.... The only side effect has been a head full of hair! I was very concerned about gynecomastia when I first started Avodart, but years later that has never happened. Nothing bad ever happened with Propecia, either.

The DHT inhibitors have had the biggest effect. I only use the ketoconazole shampoo on the off chance that it does anything at all, and the prescription is cheap. I can't actually tell that it does anything, but continue to use it
just in case it is.

I have gone without rogaine for a month and my hair starts to fall moderately, so I know that works some. I have also tried cutting the dosage of my Avodart from daily to every other day to save money, and after a month or two my hair starts to fall out dramatically. I started to take it every day and continue to do so and it has all grown back.

If you don't want to use a DHT inhibitor, then give Rogaine a try, however if you use Rogaine in conjuction with a DHT inhibitor (avodart is much stronger than rogaine btw) you will have much better results. Using the 2% ketoconazole shampoo can't hurt which is why I use it, but whether or not it will do anything at all is unknown, really.

For what it is worth, I get blood work done once a year to check all my hormones, thyroid levels, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. etc. to make sure I am in tip-top shape. My testosterone has always been "high for my age" the doctor says, with and without hair loss drugs (got my first test in the 8th grade, am 21 now) and my estrogen has always been normal for my age.

Rub Peanut butter on your head during the full moon at exactly 3 am, leave it be for 33 min while saying "HAHAFNENVHOHEOABMA"

Just kidding shave it off and embrace the baldness unless you''re a chick, or unless you're Brittney Spears than well you did it once, so, go for it!!!!

Thank you for your tips Illece

. How and where do I grow it? I live in a flat (but our family also has a garden in a city, where we grow things). I was searching on the uk e-bay and I found couple of different Kefir grains. There is one live organic Kefir (Tibetan Kefir),then there are Milk Kefir Grains and Water Kefir Grains. Which ones should I buy?
Thank you for your offer
