Exactly. I watched a lot of Robert Cassar videos talking about parasites, found his channel on the other forum a few years ago. Good shampoo recipe for killing mites here, as well as being a great stimulating hair growth recipe: https://eartheracademy.com/course/stimulating-hair-growth-removing-scalp-toxicity-fungus-and-hair-mites/

@Mauritio said in Reversal of hair loss in Mice with “sugar gel”:

@Hearthfire I think they are certainly a factor of many.

Anecdotally I can say that I've noticed for years that anti-fungals like boron, MSM, etc. have decreased hair loss .

How do you use it? Just as a supplement? I've started taking MSM in pills and added some to my shampoo recently. I took boron 6 years ago or so as a way to boost testosterone/energy, and I do recall it having a good effect, but not mind blowing enough to continue (probably because my test levels are good already). Might have to try it again though for the hair benefits. I've seen some anecdotes online about minerals, especially trace minerals that we don't get a lot, that suggest they be a big factor in hair loss for some people. Seen a few people say they fully recovered from gray hair by taking minerals, and their hair got thick and changed texture.

I remember reading how fungus feeds on iron. I wonder if because people are so psy-oped by doctors/medical institutions about taking iron supplements and that we need a lot of iron, and the fact that it's put into foods as a vitamin, it's put into multivitamins, it's causing these fungus and other parasites to keep getting over fed. If we had the proper balance of other minerals to displace/replace and correct the high iron levels, maybe our scalps wouldn't be a weakened feeding ground?

@tubert Did you try it topically? The guy in the medium article put it in his shampoo as well as supplementing it with/after meals.

@Mauritio

Malassezia + demodex mites is what I think might be causing baldness in a large portion of balding people. Causing constant inflammation and damage, feeding on the sebum, and causing your scalp to over-produce sebum. Maybe its this constant attack that causes DHT to raise. Normal DHT levels would cause hair to grow, but balance gets out of whack when these parasites have overrun your scalp.

@wester130 Yeah your thread might be where I found that medium article, or I was searching on the other forum.

Welp, time to order some potassium lol. This has renewed my interest in it and moved it to the top of the list of things to try.

@random

In my experience it's unlikely or impossible to be aware you're dreaming and not have control. Yes there are varying degrees of control though. I find I usually have great control of the dream unless I am slipping out of lucidity after becoming too excited, or after an extended period of having a lucid dream. Then it can start to morph into a regular dream state.

@CrumblingCookie

I've seen some stuff about how potassium may be a key to reversing hair loss.

https://www.hairloss-research.org/carnitine-and-hairloss/

This patent pending oral minoxidil mimetic, (TRX2) developed by Dr. Whitfield, has had encouraging results in phase 2 trials (18 month point), released in October of 2011.

There were 59 participants, men and women affected by Androgenetic Alopecia.

Hair counts increased an average of 49.2%

Hair thickness increased 38.7%

Terminal hair change, (vellus to terminal) 36.4%

In all, 87% have reported cessation of hair loss.

Dr. Whitfield’s TRX2 formula is comprised of Carnitine, Branched Chain Amino Acids, Niacin, and potassium chloride. This formula can also be readily replicated at a higher potency by simply obtaining these ingredients separately, and even enhanced by using more advanced forms of Carnitine.

Our recommendation for Potassium Ion Channel restoration for hair growth consist of :

Optimized Carnitine with GlycoCarn: 1-2 capsules a day

Branched Chain Amino Acids-: 2-4 capsules a day

Niacin: 1 capsule a day

Potassium Citrate: 1 capsule a day

Thanks to the painstaking research conducted by Dr. Whitfield, the systemic stimulation of Potassium Ion Channel Function (minoxidil mimetic) can now be used as a sole intervention, or integrated into an existing hair loss treatment regime of natural DHT inhibitors and anti-inflammation agents. Although it is likely through the mechanisms identified by Dr. Whitfield, that both Carnitine and Branched Chain Amino Acids offer some benefit to hair loss on their own, it is the combination of the above mentioned compounds that would appear offer optimal benefit for both health and sustained hair growth.

This guy claims that potassium bicarbonate is the cure: https://medium.com/@baldnesscure14/the-actual-cure-for-male-pattern-baldness-c937879b872c

@random If you become aware that it's a dream, you gain control of it, That's lucidity. A real lucid dream is not just "a vivid dream", it's literally like the movie Inception where you are god in the dream world and you can make anything happen that you think of. Your mind moulds the dream world. Flying, making things appear and disappear, transforming the whole world around you.

It can take quite a bit of practice to not lose lucidity or wake up, because once you realize you're in a dream it can excite you and cause you to slip out.

@sushi_is_cringe Okay retard.

@sushi_is_cringe You tried to correct me and were wrong while calling me "sir", you were condescending. It wasn't very Peaty of you.

from THEGORILLAFUND.ORG

"Bamboo is a special plant for gorillas, golden monkeys, and people too! At the Fossey Fund, we have been studying bamboo in relation to mountain gorillas for years, because it’s one of their favorite foods."

Here's a mountain gorilla feasting on bamboo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Vdk2NQdds

Every single nature documentary with gorillas I've ever seen, they're munching on bamboo....Not sure how anyone could possibly not know this.

Always funny when retards confidently state something as fact and they're completely wrong.

I'm using this currently, been using it for about a month. 70% silica content. Specifically for it's hair benefits. I think it's helping the vellus hair growth regrowth I've been experiencing.
I take it as supplement and I put it in my hair growth shampoo.

Also noticed my shits have been a lot better, seemed to start happening after I started taking this. Nothing else in the diet changed.

I mean, think about it. Gorillas eat this shit, it's the bulk of their diet. Look how massive, muscular and healthy they are. Hair growing all over.
Sometimes it really is as simple as looking at nature and drawing a logical conclusion. Good for monke = good for me.

@Mallard6146

I noticed a few days ago when I visited for the first time in months that the "low toxin" labels were nowhere to be seen on the front page. Today there's two, and one is a thread about how low vitamin A diet made him hypothyroid. Can't make this shit up.

I guess the euphoria is over, and none of them will admit they were wrong Yikes.

Admin probably desperately searching for a new holy diet.

@BioEclectic Thanks for the reply. This is actually for a family member. I'll advise to use iodine. If that doesn't work we'll try the tea tree oil and maybe some peppermint/rosemary. I also ordered some Lotramin which is supposed to be effective against it.

Specifically for suspected ringworm. Anyone have recommendations? Tea tree oil is supposed to be good as well as peppermint oil, from some quick google searches. I also have rosemary oil.

@Mauritio Interesting. Keep us posted.

I gotta order a bunch of seeds soon. I'm gonna grow a ton of it to experiment with and put in stir fry.

@sushi_is_cringe I'd be interested in seeing that if you can find it. No worries though. We agree it works, I just think rosemary edges it out.

@sushi_is_cringe

I think it works, but from what actual human studies have shown and from what I've seen online from the overwhelming amount of people providing testimony of things that have worked, rosemary is on top. It's not even close.

I'm gonna need a little more than some random coach you know to prove that it's more effective than rosemary. I think rosemary and peppermint works synergistically, along with other oils like tea tree oil, as they all have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, along with the ability to increase blood flow to the scalp etc. Mix them all into castor oil. A lot of people have had incredible results with just castor + rosemary.

No reason to box yourself off to just one.

@sushi_is_cringe said in Diclofenac gel to regrow hair on bald head and beard:

maybe 0.5 better for of head and deeper for front

The studies showed 0.5mm is best, but Perfect Hair Health recommends 0.5 to 0.8. Best to stay under 1mm probably, although I've seen some people who did seriously gory wounding on their head with microneedling and had unbelievably good results after, so I don't know if the studies fully capture the full picture, and different people might respond differently. Just gotta experiment I guess.

@sushi_is_cringe They're not. It's been studied. 0.5mm produces the best results https://youtu.be/LxHNpkIKW0E?feature=shared&t=601

@wester130 Minoxidil does not cause endless shedding. Neither does rosemary. Rosemary is superior to peppermint for regrowth.

@wester130 0.5mm is supposed to be better. Why 2.5mm? sounds painful I could barely tolerate 2mm
