@Mossy Yeah, makes me reconsider trying it. Also in that hairloss talk thread, someone said a bunch of people tried it and it wasn't that great. Who knows how they did it or if they were consistent.

I might actually just skip trying this one.

@Mossy What sides did you get with Nizoral? I tried it for a month and it was fine. I even used it way more often than people say to (once per week, I sometimes did 2-3). No issues. Going to try it again because I think it did help increase growth.

@Gaston This is why I think it has huge potential if done with consistency. How many people have tried this for any real length of time? Most probably quit because it's "messy". Seems like a fairly obscure thing that not many have probably tried with any real consistency for more than a few months.. The few anecdotes and studies show huge potential though.

There are tons of people who won't even stick to using minoxidil regularly because 1. it's tedious 2. it's messy, and then just stop completely because they didn't get results (because they were inconsistent), even though it's scientifically proven to work. How many more would have tried something esoteric (as far as hair regrowth treatments) like Diclofenac, it sounds much messier than minoxidil.

@Mossy

Found some studies that support that Diclofenac works. Minoxidil, Diclofenac, and Tea Tree Oil microemulsion worked far better than minoxidil alone.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3686323/

In their conclusion, they say this indicates that androgenic alopecia is multifactorial. I have come to that conclusion myself. I think it's a cascade effect of multiple things leading to baldness. Two big ones I think people aren't addressing enough is fungus and Demodex mites, which the tea tree oil would address. Then you have that powerful anti-inflammatory action from the Diclofenac.

You could probably achieve the same results from just applying all three at different times throughout the day.

Heres another study with pictures: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/302483501_Topical_Diclofenac_3_Gel_for_Actinic_Keratosis_May_Induce_Terminal_Hair_in_Male_Androgenetic_Alopecia_A_Report_of_Three_Cases

If it works that well for someone in their 70s who has been bald for a long time, I imagine it works much better for a young man.

@Mossy can you link the article with the comment?

@DkJoe2 Scalp massage/microneedling to heal/break up the calcification.

I bet pairing scalp massage + microneedling + diclofenac gel would be quite effective. I'm already seeing results from microneedling + massage and a homemade regrowth shampoo, will definitely be trying this diclofenac gel.

@DkJoe2

Why would it work any less on the scalp? It's not like the calcification is impenetrable and everywhere. Diclofenac gel is designed to penetrate skin and relieve pain caused by inflammation. Something is causing inflammation/calcification of scalps which leads to baldness, so if you take away the inflammation with an effective NSAID, it makes perfect sense hair would regrow. Maybe it's causing the scalp to loosen, because of the reduced inflammation.

I doubt many people have tried it for hair regrowth because it's for arthritis. Which is always promising.

I'm gonna add it to the list of things to try. Sounds very promising.

Looks like you can just buy it off amazon

Burning will damage your skin, but how much depends on the severity. You can completely heal from it.

Low Vitamin D and using sunscreen is what causes cancer and aged skin look.

@Sitaruim No it isn't. Sun is good for your skin. Sunscreen is what fucks peoples skin up.

@Insomniac

Saying a fat guy looks healthier than the other guy is mental illness lol. You're obsessed this 50 year old dude has some wrinkles. Get the fuck over it you weirdo.

Honestly, it just looks like he's way lower body fat in the later example.

His face was more "full" in the old video. That always makes people look healthier. When you get super low bodyfat at his age, that's typically how you look. There's not as much fat/collagen to fill it out and make the face nice and healthy looking.

Which is why I think it's better to have a bit higher bf % even if you're still lean. I bet he's around 10%. 12%-13% would be ideal IMO.

@LucH "What it does is under the radar."

Not so according to a lot of posts I've read. I'm definitely interested in the anecdotes of it regrowing lots of hair.

@LucH I was actually thinking of splitting it 200mg at breakfast, 200mg at dinner instead of all in one go. Obviously with fat. Spread it out more over the day. I'll do that today.

I'm on 400 mg a day of Ubiquinol. Will update experience.

@sneedful

Alcoholic

One reason Trump is defying the standard aging at his age is he doesn't drink or smoke.

People WAY underestimate how bad alcohol is for you and how it ages you. It's fucking poison. There is no health benefit to drinking alcohol. Anyone who tries to post studies/or articles about how it's good, is a coping alcoholic, just like those who try to find proof its good.

@SpaceManJim

It'll be interesting to compare how this dude looked compared to someone like SolBrah, when SolBrah reaches the same age.

Bryan Johnson doesn't look like he de-aged. He looks like a very unnatural 47 year old. There are 50-55+ year olds that look younger and more healthy. Chuando Tan for example. Heck, even someone like Hideo Kojima, well into his 50's he looked like he was 30 years old, and still looks better than most 35 year olds.

@Insomniac

"SHE WAS 30 YEARS OLD YOU SICK FREAK!!!!"

He did the meme everyone! lol

Seriously though, how fucking retarded are you? This woke leftist thing of pushing the acceptable age of consenting adults up and up and up is very fucking weird. It's some kind of globalist anti-natalist brainwashing that has been done on the population. Depopulation agenda. Our birthrates have collapsed, and we have the general public recoiling at a 50 year old marrying a 30 year old. Men want to marry women that are still hot and can carry a child and aren't eggless 40-50 year old cat ladies. holy shit mind blown!!!

Why do you care what two mature consenting adults are doing? Why are you trying to equate it with weird shit? Really ask yourself that quesiton. What's your angle?

@gg12

Trump's second term as President has the chance to bring a "Golden Age" as he and others have termed it, and I am not exaggerating. I mean it in the literal sense.

Think about it.

You have Elon Musk tasked with cutting government fat out, reducing spending, cutting agencies, firing useless government employees. He has experience gutting bloated tech giants like Twitter. He fired 80% of the Twitter staff, and took a sword to the censorship codebase they had set up. He succeeded beyond what anyone could have imagined with that. If that skill transfers to his Department of Government Efficiency, and there's no reason to believe it won't, we will be on the way towards paying off US debt.

Ron Paul has vowed to join Trump's cabinet after being invited, and he and Elon mentioned auditing the Federal Reserve/abolishing it. THIS ALONE WOULD BE ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS. We are talking a nuclear level political/economical event that could usher in an age of prosperity.

RFK Jr. as the incoming HHS Secretary has vowed to clear house with federal health employees. He has declared war on seed oils, fluoride in water sources, vaccines, and other health threats that the medical establishment/science religion has held on pedestals not to be questioned, else you be cast out as a heretic.

Tom Homan, former ICE acting director, as Border czar. He will be overseeing the mass deportations of illegal aliens. Tom Homan has unabashedly said he will deport families of illegal aliens, and seperate families of illegal aliens crossing the border. This is standard operating procedure that has been politicized by woke leftist retards, and prevented ICE/Border agents from doing their jobs. Trump's + Homan's rhetoric alone will likely drastically slow border crossings as it did in 2016/2017 when Trump won and then entered office. Follow that by millions of deporations, crime will drop drastically, many lives will be saved, and will save US taxpayers up to $151 billion per year in useless spending.

Trump has also said he wants to eliminate the income tax. If Ron Paul is in his cabinet in DOGE, he will actually be able to help with this because he ran his Presidential campaigns on abolishing income taxes as one of his key platforms.

@dapose Donald Trump is one of the most genius salesman/marketing people to have ever lived. He has mastered the art of persuasion to an unbelievable degree. His charm and charisma stats are also maxed out.

It's so funny seeing Demoncrats say Trump sounds stupid and he isn't making sense. They're too fucking stupid to realize the way he communicates is perfect, and they're also too dumb to follow his "weave", where he goes between topics and loops back around.
