what is the cure to hairloss / male pattern baldness?

@mentun said in whats the cure to hair loss?:
@Chud Cyproheptadine can cure hair loss alone, induced from brain atrophy. It lowers serotonin and prolactin.
Currently experimenting with 16 mg for 3 days.
If you have hair loss from low libido, probably supplementing thyroid and eating 4oz of beef liver once a week will help tremendously.
So, how did your experiment with 3 days of 16mg go?

@tubert I just felt sedated most of the time, which I think is a good thing because it means that the stress hormones that I was running on were being suppressed by the cypro. I continued to take a lot of cypro after the three days, even up to 32 mg. I ran out of cypro after like a week. I just ordered more.
I think the cypro just works as a vacuum, and you need to supplement other things like thyroid or progesterone to take the place of the stress hormones that you've been running on. Also eating liver and oysters once a week, and upping your calcium to lower parathyroid hormone.
Benefits are better digestion. Con is sometimes I would get a mild migraine, but really there is none.
For the hair, I been on thyroid for about 2 months now, gradually increasing my dose to 3 grains. My hair is indeed coming back, but slowly. I might up it to 4 grains next week. I dont plan on taking thyroid forever tho, tapering off of it. I take the synthetic thyroid ray peat recommends from mexico.

@mentun is that t3 or t4 you are using? or a combo (t3/t4)?

Consider epitestosterone, the body's endogenous anti-androgen. Produced alongside testosterone (99% of it is not a test derivative), it is mildly neuroprotective and strongly anti-estrogen.
Unfortunately it is also one of the most understudied hormones in existence.

Maybe this can explain how follicle DHT can be the cause of balding and yet balding is worse in low testosterone men (premature balding at least), and many men who clearly have high testosterone don't go bald.
The body makes epiT alongside T so a naturally high test man would also be naturally high in epiT, thus having plenty of ability to block androgens by means of the body's natural and healthy process of doing so, in the places where the body doesn't want androgens to be high. While keeping androgens high in places where they should be high.
The low test man is also going to be low in epiT, I would think.
I think it's big news that the body even has this endogenous capacity - producing a natural and healthy anti-androgen, and not as a test derivative either. Apparently this is part of your body's system. I think there are a lot of implications of that.
I made an epitestosterone thread earlier:

@tubert I currently take one and a half tablets of cynoplus (t3/t4) after a meal which equals to 3.3 grains, and I take small bites of a cynomel (t3) tablet (4-9 mcg) after a meal or if my hands or feet are not warm.

@mentun Thanks a lot. I have some t3 at home (which I never use), but I will try some iodine first to see what happens.

If you're att stathams level it's over mate. Should've started caring years ago.
Getting it back is hard, keeping is easy.

Microneedling doesn't reverse calcification very well, you need to aggressively pinch the scalp and stretch it with the knuckles. I think this is because scalp tissue is comparatively far thicker than the tissues of the face microneedling is normally used for.

In my opinion - baldness is the PCOS male equivalent

How do people treat PCOS?
With Inositol - which also treats insulin resistance

What could be the reason that causes one temple (left one) to recede faster than the other?

@bluearchivehate do you think chemical peels would remove old scar tissue/fibrosis?

There are so many things wrong with this sentence I don't even know where to start

Before the invention of lightbulb, many men died before they even had a chance to go bald. Despite this fact, we have so many examples of bald men of history it almost seems like more of them were bald than not bald.
Even if there actually were no bald men before the invention of lightbulb, our lives are so radically different in so many ways that blaming it on lightbulb is just ridiculous.
Especially when you realize that incandescent light bulb produce much more red and infrared light than blue light. Incandescent light bulb is actually hair growth promoting device
