Stem Cell Hair Loss Remedy

2010-05-03T23:08:00.000-07:00

I sure I'm not the only one dreaming of a stem cell hair loss remedy. It seems stem cells are the supposed cure to everything we can possibly imagine, or so they say but like many men (and women) suffering from hair loss, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for any news on the subject.

I've read stem cell hair loss studies with big words, long descriptions, doctors' names I can't pronounce and they all say there is great promise for a stem cell hair loss remedy but it's a long way off. Well, I hate waiting so I try and find anyone using the technology that works and try and get some. I was surprised to see that there is a stem cell hair loss cream available and it's not that expensive.

Now like any guinea pig, I tried to do as much research on the company and the doctor behind this stem cell hair loss cream but must of what I found was either old, or rather negative. Nobody says the product is harmful, but nobody says it works either. But I say, I've been globbing all kinds of crap on my head for years and I'm still kickin, so what the hell.

Now I'm not gonna name the stuff but I'm sure people out there will want to know what it is and where to get it. You can leave a comment or contact me and I will be happy to share but I'm not trying to sell anything so putting the name of my secret stem cell hair loss cream in this post might lead people to think I'm some type of scammer. And the truth is, If I'm anything at all, I'm the one getting scammed because I don't know if it works.

So anyway, I took the plunge and ordered this glop from over seas and as I recall it was about $55 for about a 6 week supply. I'm fine with that because $55 for hope seems like a pretty good deal. Now what this stem cell hair loss cream does is activate the Stem Cells present in your scalp to promote hair growth and thickness. Also it is supposed to help change the grey hair back to its original natural color.

Now if all goes well I'm a perfect candidate for this type of treatment because I have hair. Most of my follicles seem to have very thin hairs remaining in them so it's not like my follicles aren't producing anything. One cool thing is that my beard recently starting going grey. It's been about 6 months since I noticed and there happens to be about a half inch section on the right of my chin that has turned pure white. It looks weird because it is the only concentrated section of white any where on my body. So the good news I mentioned is that I'm gonna smear this gook on my head and on that white part of my beard and see if it starts to change the color over time. I've always heard that facial hair acts exactly opposite of scalp hair but I might as well give this a test.

I will say that I've only been on the stem cell hair loss cream for 2 days so there will be no effect yet. It was supposed to take 10 days to arrive by mail but it took 28, I was thinking I got taken but at least the goo arrived and I have it in my hands. Whether it makes any improvement in my hair only time will tell. I would like to point out that I have high hopes for the stem cell hair loss cream and very low expectations because if it worked, then I imagine we would all be hearing about it. I will keep you posted and feel free to comment below

The Oprah Effect and Hair Transplants

2009-06-02T13:13:00.000-07:00

The Oprah Effect on CNBC

After watching the Oprah Effect on CNBC the other night I was amazed how a simple mention by Oprah Winfrey can launch a product or even in industry into a total transformation.

This can be seen with all those "as seen on Oprah" sales pitches you get in your email inboxes. A perfect example is her buddy Dr. Oz endorsing Resveratrol as an age defying pill. Resveratrol sales are through the roof, and there are studies showing Resveratrol reverses hair loss.

On today's show, Dr Oz was at again and brought out Hair Transplant Surgeon Dr Bernstein. They showed a clip about FUE hair transplants and suggested that todays results look completely natural. The hair transplant result was shown live by a member of the audience and Oprah couldn't tell the difference.

This is a great endorsement for Hair Transplants and perhaps the Oprah Effect will remove some of the stigma involved with Hair Restoration.

Dr Bernstein did mention that Propecia and Rogaine should be tried first, but Hair Transplants are a viable solution for men and their hair loss.

New Breakthrough Baldness Treatment

2009-04-29T14:58:00.000-07:00

Baldness Treatment

Look being bald or going bald or baldness itself is not a big deal for some people but it is for me. So every time there is news of a baldness cure I have to take a careful look.

I will admit that ever since I started doing research online about hair loss, I have found several baldness treatments I was ignoring and together they have yielded some hair growth. So I do believe there is some help out there.

I've been monitoring the chat in the hair loss forums about Dr Robert Jones Platelet Rich Plasma therapy for thinning hair and today Dr Jones published a video explaining this breakthrough Baldness Treatment.

Whenever, we hear about advancements in hair loss treatments they always seem to be about mice and years away from human study, but Dr Jones is treating hair loss patients with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy in his office already so I was very intrigued about his video.

Baldness: Resveratrol & Curcumin Grow Hair

2009-04-25T11:35:00.000-07:00

I have been taking resveratrol for hair loss for months and I've noticed great things about my skin but not so much my hair growth. I remembered seeing the 60 minutes story featuring resveratrol and remembered that it needed to be mixed with Curcumin to help stop hair loss.

Here is the study regarding Resveratrol and Curcumin for Hair loss. It is everywhere online but I wanted to post it for my readers. I have researched the best Resveratrol and Curcumin to buy because every one and their mother is selling watered down versions of resvertrol which don't even seem to come from the right natural source.

I'm not selling anything on this site so if you want to know what I use and how I get it at a reduced cost through smart shopping, just leave me a comment. I really just want people to get hair loss and hair loss remedy info on my blog. Not sales, sales, sales!

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING CURCUMIN AND RESVERATROL AND USES THEREOF IN MEDICAL FIELD

The present invention deals with a pharmaceutical composition comprising curcumin and resveratrol and uses thereof in medical field. More specifically, the composition object of the invention can be advantageously employed for retarding ageing, for the prevention of vascular diseases, for the treatment and prevention of cancers as, for example, prostate carcinoma, skin diseases as psoriasis, and diseases of the piliferous system as hair loss.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol present in grapes, especially in its peel and in its seeds.

Curcumin is an extract of the root of the Curcumea Longa, a plant well known since a long time for its pharmaceutical properties. Nowadays curcumin is well known for its power of reducing cholesterol, its diuretic, choleretic, anti-inflammatory ability and for ameliorating the general conditions of patients treated with chemotherapy for neoplasia.

Particular feature of Curcumin is to belong to the capsaicinoids family, substances characterized by a pungent taste, similar to the one of pepper. From a point of view of molecular biology, the presence of a vanilloid receptor on the cell membrane and close to the mitochondrial structures can explain the induction of apoptosis or planned death of cells that would have become neoplastic. Moreover, in the Central Nervous System there are various receptors of capsaicinoids and this could explain the enhancement of the anti-aging action of resveratrol by curcumin.

The group of patients that has assumed only resveratrol didn't show any modification on the PSA, while the group treated with resveratrol and curcumin showed with great surprise a reduction, sometimes also relevant, in variable time periods. Moreover, during this testing, the patients treated with resveratrol and curcumin surprisingly showed positive improvements in the treatment of psoriasis and the attenuation and even a stop of the hair loss, a reduction of the hair graying and the rebirth of hair in bald areas sometimes even of the original color too.

Regarding its action on hair growth, even if not yet known, it is probably linked to the release of P substance. The growth and the pigmentation of the hair follicle would depend on mesenchymal-epithelium-neiroderic interactions not very well-known yet, where the P substance would stimulate the hair growth in vivo (RaIf Paus et al Investigation Labs, VoI 71, No 1 , p.135, 1994).

According to the invention, the pharmaceutical composition can comprise also vitamin E and/or wheat germs containing vitamin E. In fact, the powdered wheat germs are one of the richest natural resources of vitamin E (or tocopherol) and are one of the most effective antioxidants against free radicals, the aggressive substances that proliferate in our body because of the action of pollution, inaccurate diets, sun or just age.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition can also comprise Capsaicin and/or the fruit of capsicum annum, which contains capsaicin. Capsicum annum, its powdered fruit in particular, is rich in important nutritional substances as flavonoids, vitamins (C, E, PP, and K), lecithins, mineral salts and capsaicin, an alkaloid responsible for its particular taste and for its activating properties. The extract of capsicum seems to be very effective in stimulating the vitality of the tissues and in activating the venous and capillary circulation.

In particular, in the composition according to this invention, the content of resveratrol can range from 3 to 6 mg; of Curcumin from 15 to 30 mg; of vitamin E from 50 to 100 mg; of vitamin C from 10 to 30 mg; of capsaicin from 2 to 5 mg; of powdered wheat germs from 50 to 450 mg.

The composition according to the invention can be presented in capsules, pills, solution and emulsion. If in capsules or pills, the suggested dosage is one or two units, before meals.

Further object of the present invention is the use of the composition for the cancer treatment, in particular the treatment of prostate carcinoma. Moreover, the composition according to the invention can be advantageously employed for the treatment of skin diseases, in particular of psoriasis, for the treatment and the prevention from ageing, for the treatment and the prophylaxis of diseases .of the piliferous system, in particular of alopecia.

Another object of the present invention is a combination comprising resveratrol and curcumin for the simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment of cancer, as for example, the prostate carcinoma, in the treatment of skin diseases as psoriasis and for the prevention and the treatment of alopecia.

The invention in fact can vary in its dosages and in its components, adding other components similar to the one suggested, but without altering the conceptual basis of the invention.

In this testing, apart from a relevant anti-cancer action on hormone-insensible prostate neoplasia, an effect on some patients has also been the stop of the hair loss and the growth of hair, sometimes of the original color too. Therefore patients without any neoplastic disease, but affected by alopecia or hair loss, have been included to the testing.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The group treated only with resveratrol didn't show any relevant variation, except from two cases that showed a slight decrease.

Capsures of 4 pills a day let to a reduction in the level of PSA after 60 days to 7.4 and then to 6.80. The patient suffered also of psoriasis of the scalp, that disappeared after the treatment and that by now, after 8 months has not reappeared. Case 6: 64 years old man affected by prostratitis that tried various treatments. After the treatment with Capsures, 6 capsules a day, after 30 days had no more perineal pain and had a hair growth.

Case 14: 75 years old man, operated 4 years before for radical prostatectomy, intolerant to hormonal treatment he has been treated with Capsures, 4 pills a day for 60 days. His PSA value reduced from 4.5 to 2.4.

As far as its action on hair is concerned, some patients, especially women that were considerably loosing their hair, after 20 days of treatment confirmed to have had a reduction in their hair loss. In bald patients, the hair, sometimes of the original color restarted to grow even after the ablation of the white hair.

CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

The compound containing just resveratrol as active agent (Resverage) didn't cause a reduction of the PSA value and this can be due to the low bioavailability of the molecule. In the cases of prostate carcinoma the efficacy of the association of resveratrol with curcumin can be due to a higher concentration in the circulation and therefore in the tissues explained by the lipophilia of the active elements of curcumin.

The association of resveratrol and curcumin seems to have a synergic effect that enhances the anti-inflammatory power of the two active elements. It is an essential activity because in the prostate carcinoma there is a phlogistic action caused by hyperincretion of enzymes as the cyclooxygenase 1 and 2.

As far as the action on hair is concerned, it is unquestionably due to the administration of the two combined active elements, since in the compound with just resveratrol no result has been shown and in the many cases in India and in Europe where Curcumin has been employed, any effect on hair has never been reported. The most important aspect rarely highlighted is that curcuminoids are capsaicinoid substances.

Those fibers, whose nerve cell is in the posterior roots, once stimulated release neuropeptides like the P substance, Neurokinin A and the Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). Experimental researches demonstrated that the desensibilization of those fibers leads to skin lesions localized in the cervical region of the rat. These experiments indicate the existence of a tropic function. It is probable that the loss of hair is a result of the deficit of neuropeptides released by the fibers that innervate the scalp.

Therefore it is possible that the administration of a substance that has as activity similar to capsaicin, as the Curcumin that metabolizes like an active curcumoid, can stimulate the sensorial fibers that have a tropic function, and that resveratrol has a vehicular function on the tissues. Therefore, the composition of the present invention is active on cases of hormone-insensible prostate carcinoma but in particular on hair, as our research has proven. The efficacy of the composition according to the present invention also depends on the great lyophilic properties of a capsaicinoid, curcumin on the anti-inflammatory effect of the two substances.

The interference of the hormonal action on hair loss is unquestionable, even if capsaicinoid-sensible sensory innervations are an ancestral phenomenon that does not depend on the hormonal mechanisms, but through a metabolic way different from the ordinary one. The growth and the pigmentation of the hair follicle seem to be controlled by epitelius-mesenchimoneuroechtodermmic interactions not very well known, but with an important role of the P substance on the hair growth in vivo.

Do You Believe Lasers Will Stop Hair Loss

2009-04-25T09:24:00.001-07:00

There is FDA approval for lasers to help stimulate hair growth but most experts agree it's no miracle. I have a hair max laser comb and I would say it's bunk, but we all want hair. So if you want to get one, or any of the new lasers, I would buy them used on e-bay

A New Technique: Laser Hair Loss Treatment

One type of laser hair loss treatment is the laser comb, which is a device that can be used by the individual in the comfort of his own home. The way the device works is that phototherapy is administered by combing the person’s hair with the device so that the hair follicles are stimulated in addition to the topical solutions that the individual might be using. These laser combs are often the best laser hair loss treatment to use after having a hair replacement surgery to promote the healing of the different hair transplants in the scalp. The combs are usually used in addition to the treatments that are done in the doctor’s office as a way to enhance the hair recovery.

Can Black Cumin Oil Cure Hair Loss?

Nigela Sativa can be compared to Echinacea, the well known immune
booster but works in a very different way, which makes it even suitable
for diseases of the immune system itself, eg. allergies; MS; TB; cancer;
aids etc, where Echinacea could have detrimental effects.

The oil of nigella sativa is so beneficial due to it's content of
over a hundred components such as aromatic oils, trace elements, vitamins
and enzymes. It contains 58% of essential fatty acids including omega
6 and omega 3. These are necessary for the forming of Prostaglandin
E1 which balances and strengthens the immune system giving it the
power to prevent infections and allergies and control cronic illnesses.

Stroke the scalp thoroughly with lemon, leave for 15 minutes then
wash and dry. Then apply ½ - 1 tsp nigella sativa oil.

Buy Dutasteride Online Without a Prescription

2009-04-21T15:00:00.000-07:00

Buying Dutasteride Online for hair loss is easier than you thought. In most cases you can buy dutasteride online without a prescription and will only need to fill out certain health questions and your generic avodart will arrive.

I am one of those hair loss sufferers who does not wish to wait for FDA approval for hair loss drug when plenty of people around the world are having success using the drug. Avodart is the brand name for dutasteride but it is extremely expensive. I have heard of nor had any bad side affects from taking Dutasteride as opposed to avodart so I will stick with it.

If you are not familiar with the drug here is a little info about it.

While dutasteride is only officially approved to treat enlargement of the prostate gland (at a dose of 0.5mg/day), phase I and II clinical trials for dutasteride as a hair loss drug were also undertaken, but called off in late 2002. The reason the trials were called off is not publicly known. Industry sources speculate that Avodart would have been seen as too similar to Propecia to have proved profitable as a hair loss treatment. However, phase II results indicated that dutasteride 2.5mg/day generated a superior hair count to finasteride 5mg at 12 and 24 weeks.^[2]

In December 2006, GlaxoSmithKline started a new Phase III, six month study in Korea to test the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of a once-daily dose of dutasteride (0.5mg) for the treatment of male pattern baldness in the vertex region of the scalp (types IIIv, IV and V on the Hamilton-Norwood scale).^[3] The future impact that this study will have on the FDA's approval or disapproval of Avodart for the treatment of male pattern baldness in the United States is yet to be determined.
Dutasteride is also in development for Prostate cancer risk reduction. Wikipedia

So anyway, I've been buying Dutas from the same source for a year now and it comes on time with no questions asked. I've recently noticed that there is a discount for returning customers so my order gets cheaper and saves me a lot of money over other online pharmacies so I wanted to share this knowledge.

Buy Dutasteride Online They also have great customer service on the phone

Rupert Everett's Great Hair Transplants

2009-04-20T13:35:00.000-07:00

I have been noticing Rupert Everett lately because he was having obvious hair transplants. So this article popped up today on yahoo about men and plastic surgery which featured Rupert Everett. I was surprised they noticed every possible procedure this guy had but nobody mentioned his hair loss and hair transplants. I think his hair looks great!

Star

We’ve always thought Rupert Everett was dreamy, particularly in “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” All the more reason why we were horrified upon finding this recent photo of him from his appearance on “The Martha Stewart Show.”

The picture on the left is just one year old. The photo on the right is from last week. Shocking!

The actor, currently starring in Blithe Spirit on Broadway, has obviously had a great deal of work done. Dr. Brian S. Glatt, founder of the Premier Plastic Surgery Center of New Jersey, thinks the 49-year-old actor had a facelift. “His cheeks are fuller and lifted, and his jawline and neck are pulled back and smoother,” says Dr. Glatt. His forehead is the work of Botox. “I think he’s definitely using it. He is very animated, and there are no lines visible on his forehead.”

But that’s not all—Dr. Glatt believes he also got a chin implant! “The shape and projection of the chin is drastically different. It’s much more pointed,” he says, estimating the combined surgeries to have cost around $25,000.

“This is an impressive difference,” says Dr. Glatt. “He looks 10 years younger!” Um, no, he looks like a scary robot! A little botox is maybe one thing, but our beloved Everett is totally unrecognizable! In fact, he looks kind of like Bruce Jenner, another awful surgery victim.

We can’t help but notice a surge in plastic faces amongst Hollywood men like John Travolta, Ray Liotta and Mickey Rourke. Nicholas Cage’s hair plugs also make us shudder. Why not go the route of Bruce Willis and shave it all off and make that your look? No one thinks you miraculously grew hair after balding for 20 years. The plugs are worse than a bad toupee.

Do you think it’s somehow worse when men receive cosmetic procedures?

Hair Transplant Photos

2009-04-19T13:13:00.000-07:00

I always enjoy looking at Hair Transplant Photos. Here are some from Samson. I have never heard of them before today and do not know anything about their reputation, but I will say I think the photos show some nice work.

Enjoy

Always keep in mind: All before and after photos, including Samson's, should be viewed will a healthy degree of skepticism. A lot can be done with careful photography, lighting and hair styling. With that said, we have tried to present as accurately as we can, our hair transplant results. We have attempted to use identical lighting conditions, the same camera and settings, and similar angles of the shots—although some older Samson client photos were not standardized in this way. None of our photos are, or ever will be, retouched or manipulated. We want you to have an accurate presentation of what can and cannot be achieved through hair transplantation.

The following are actual comments from clients of Samson Hair Restoration. They are unedited and in some cases contain explicit and/or offensive language. We at Samson believe it preferable for people to hear actual comments from clients rather than carefully edited ones. We apologize in advance if anyone is offended by the language.

"My hair transplant procedure changed my life. I used to hide my hair under a hat. Now, I never worry about it. And, I couldn't believe how easy the whole procedure was. I wonder why I ever waited so long. I didn't change anything about myself. I just got back something I had lost. It's my own hair. I always had it, just not where I wanted it."

- Anonymous, 2003

What a great experience dealing with Samson Hair Restoration! From the initial consultation, through the procedure itself and follow-up, everything is explained completely and professionally. Joey and Dr. Leonard were exceptionally forthright and caring, making this a breeze. Thank you to everyone!

- R.A. August, 2003

"I really believe in the Samson approach. I work in the hair transplantation industry and how they're doing it just makes so much more sense than the others. The people at Samson can be trusted, and I can't say that for a lot of people in this field. Probably due to the fact that the founders of Samson have seen so much from their experiences at other companies, they have developed an approach that is just better than the rest. They set out to do it the right way from the start and they have succeeded."

As a hairdresser, I'm very attentive to hair. I can't believe how good these procedures are at Samson. I recommend Samson to anyone with hair loss."

- Richard D.

"I was nervous about having the procedure. Would it look natural? Would it hurt? How much would it cost? I was pleasantly surprised by the answers to all these questions at Samson."

- George T.

"It was easy, much easier than going to the dentist."

- Ian S.

"This is so phenomenal. SH%T, it's the best thing I ever did for myself! It's flawless. I'm the biggest critic of everything. There is not one flaw. No one knows I've had it done.

I finally told my partner. I went to him and said I was thinking about having a hair transplant and I asked what he thought about the idea. He said that seemed OK to him. Then I told him I already had one and he couldn't believe it. It looked so natural.

I had hair loss since I was 18. It's over! I can do what I want with my hair now.

This has totally exceeded my expectations. It is seamless. My biggest regret is that I didn't do it sooner. My biggest fear was it looking artificial. It looks completely natural. No one would ever know if I didn't tell them."

- Michael B.

"My hair stylist had no idea. She can't believe it and she recommended me to you guys. My hair looks better now than it did before it ever fell out."

- Jeff S.

"This was way easier than I thought. And the drugs you gave me after the procedure were great. I haven't slept this good in years."

- Steve A.

"I stressed about my hair loss every day. I always had good hair and I wasn't going to allow myself to go bald. Now, after having been through it, there's no place I'd ever go but Samson."

- Stephan H.

"This [the procedure] was no big deal.

I had a friend who I hadn't seen in awhile comment about my hair. He said it seemed to be fuller. I told him it was transplants. He couldn't believe it. Now, he's going to Samson."

- Paul M.

"It absolutely is the best thing I've ever done. I was nervous and skeptical. I'm almost walked out on the morning of my procedure. I'm so glad now that I didn't. Now that I've done this and it's growing it's best f**king thing I've ever done. I'd do it if it cost twice as much."

- Greg T.

"This is so personal. Never have I been treated so personally. I was so relaxed. I was very nervous at first. Everything you said happened just like you said it would. You did what you told me you'd do. I'm very happy."

- Julian B.

"I was waiting for it to hurt. I had no pain. It didn't hurt at all! I felt nothing! You guys rock!"

- David B.

I didn't tell my hairstylist I was having the procedure. While my hair was growing in she never noticed. I finally told her after it was fully-grown and she didn't believe it. She said, "I can't tell."

- Richard G.

"You guys just got the greatest compliment. Recently I got a haircut at a new place. I was talking to the stylist and she asked how old I was. I told her "34" and she said, "Well, at least you kept your hair." She didn't know all the hair she was cutting was transplanted. Unbelievable"

Hair Transplants By Bosley

2009-04-19T12:51:00.000-07:00

I never like to endorse one hair transplant surgeon over another but every one out there has there own opinions, success stories, and disasters. So please comment about Bosley if you can add to the conversation.

At Bosley, the surgical transplantation of hair follicles is a remarkably simple outpatient procedure.

Lifelong hair follicles are found in good supply in virtually all men, even men with advanced baldness. These lifelong hairs are concentrated in an area at the back and sides of the head. We call this region the “donor area.” During the hair transplant procedure, our physicians take excess hairs - follicles and all - from this plentiful area and relocate them to areas of thinning and balding on the top or front of the head.

The extreme close-up photographs below are of Bosley patient hairlines which were created on balding scalp.

Of course your approval of our strategy for your hair is an absolute must and will be your doctor's central guide in tailoring your new hairline. Please be advised that individual hair transplant results may vary.

Why hair transplantation works

The medical process for hair restoration involves the transplanting of hairs and follicles from one area of the head to another.

Every single follicle of hair on the human scalp is genetically programmed before birth to either become sensitive to the male hormones which begin to appear during puberty - causing the follicle to wither and die in time - or not to become sensitive to these hormones and continue growing throughout one's lifetime.

During the hair transplant procedure, grafts are placed ONE AT A TIME in the thinning and balding areas. Bosley physicians are trained to artistically perform this procedure in a manner that results in virtually undetectable natural-looking restored hairlines and natural density.

Transplantation Process

At Bosley, the surgical transplantation of hair follicles is a remarkably simple outpatient procedure.

Pursuing the Perfect Transplanted Hairline:

The scientific and artistic techniques that Bosley has been perfecting since 1974 allow Bosley physicians to recreate soft, natural, living hairlines that are virtually indistinguishable from the original hairlines that have eroded away. Finished Bosley hairlines are usually so soft and natural, they don't have to be hidden by hair combed over in the front.

The Procedure:

For Men and Women:

The techniques and process utilized at Bosley are equally effective in treating hair loss for both men and women.

How Propecia Works

2009-04-19T12:46:00.000-07:00

I'm not a big fan of Propecia because I think avodart is better. However, getting a script for Avodart is not easy so let's take a look at How Propecia works

How PROPECIA Works

Reduces DHT^a, a key cause of hair loss

PROPECIA significantly reduces DHT, a key cause of hair loss, by inhibiting the formation of DHT in your scalp.

Lowering DHT appears to inhibit the further shrinking of affected hair follicles.

DHT is a substance in the body that can shrink the hair follicle until it no longer produces visible hair. Scientists believe DHT and family history are key factors in hair loss. Learn more about the causes of male pattern hair loss.

^aDHT=dihydrotesterone.

PROPECIA blocks the formation of DHT and, in this way, appears to interrupt the development of male pattern hair loss.

PROPECIA helps reduce further hair loss and regrow visible hair.

PROPECIA is the first and only FDA-approved pill proven to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in men.

Important Information About PROPECIA

PROPECIA was developed to treat mild to moderate male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in MEN ONLY. There is not sufficient evidence that PROPECIA works for receding hairlines at the temples.

PROPECIA is for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children.

Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby’s sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

In clinical studies for PROPECIA, a small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away in men who stopped taking PROPECIA because of them.

You may need to take PROPECIA daily for 3 months or more before you see a benefit from taking PROPECIA. If PROPECIA has not worked for you within 12 months, further treatment is unlikely to be of benefit.

PROPECIA can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.

Although results will vary, generally you will not be able to grow back all the hair you have lost.

Resveratrol and Curcumin For Hairloss

2009-04-18T13:02:00.000-07:00

All the news about Resveratrol and hair loss has gotten me pretty excited but as always when it comes to growing hair and baldness cures I have high hope and low expectations.

I will say that in a lot of these hair loss forums there's a lot of buzz about how Curcumin enhances the effects of Resveratrol so of course, I'm getting in on this one.

About 2 months ago went to the health food store and bought some curcumin and a bottle of resveratrol but I didn't really know what I was doing.

So after a bit of research I've gotten some of what is considered the best of the best and gone with

Jarrow Formulas Resveratrol 100 and take Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin

Now this is just part of my regiment that is producing those exicting little buds of new hair growth but I'm going to take this stuff until the science says its bunk.

By the way, the links above are about 40% cheaper than buying it at a store. If you include the following promo code LAT159 , you will recieve $5 of your order and accumulate credit for each purchase you make from I-herb

Taking supplements can get expensive so finding a place to buy vitamins online is great.

Rogaine on Steroid to Stop Hair Loss

2009-04-12T11:35:00.000-07:00

Minoxidil and Hair Growth

You know years ago I glopped a bunch of Rogaine on my head to try and grow some peach fuzz on the top of my head because the FDA said I could.

Now anyone suffering from male pattern baldness or female hair loss isn't looking for peach fuzz. We want hair and Rogaine typically was not the answer.

However, these days, every doctor and mad scientist is screwing around with minoxidil to make it better, faster and stronger and some of these brews will help you stop hair from falling out.

Which Minoxidil Formula Will Work Best?

Using Minoxidil topically to grow hair was discovered by chance. Minoxidil was originally developed to treat hypertension, but patients taking Minoxidil started growing unwanted hair. This side effect led to the testing of using topical Minoxidil to grow hair on balding sites.

Both males and females may use generic Minoxidil. Generic Minoxidil comes in two concentrations, mainly 2% and 5%. It is recommended that males use Generic Minoxidil 5% whilst females use Generic Minoxidil 2%.

Minoxidil works best on the crown. Why Minoxidil works remains a mystery. Generic Minoxidil is a vasodilator and may increase the blood supply to the follicles. Minoxidil has to be applied twice a day to the affected area for at lest six months. Since it is applied locally, Generic Minoxidil is relatively safe as negligible amounts are absorbed in the bloodstream.

There are now so many variations of Minoxidil out there that choosing the right one is nearly impossible because everyone is trying to sell you something. The important part is to use one of them because even though it will probably not help grow your hair back it will slow the hairloss down.

I try to keep it simple: I use Rogaine 5% because it is readily available and inexpensive. Then I put a few drops of rosemary oil and liquid saw palmetto extract in as well. Rosemary has long been associated with hair health and saw palmetto is a natural DHT blocker used by many hair loss sufferers. All of these items can be found at

Dutasteride Really Does Work to Stop Hairloss

2009-04-11T21:48:00.000-07:00

Stop Your Hair Loss

Dutasteride is the active ingredient in Avodart which is used in the treatment for an enlarged prostate. It blocks DHT which is a major factor in Male Pattern Baldness. It is not prescribed for hair loss but if you are a hairloss freak like me you may want to get a hold of some.

Now, since it is a prescription drug I am not going to tell you where to get it without a perscription. I get it and I use it. I have had no side effects whatesover and I will continue to use it forever or until something better comes along. I'm sorry I cannot help you contact the Dustasteride Discount Pharmacy but if there are no advertisers selling discount generic dutas, proprecia and proscar from discount pharmacies on other pages, just leave a comment and I will help you out if I can. send you to an

Contact the Dutasteride Discount Pharmacy

off shore pharmacy that will sell it to you without a perscription but if you are smart you will be able to find some on this page. I'm sure there are ads for it somehwere.

Before you deside to self diagnose your hairloss problems, please now that propecia does work a little bit. It laymens terms it stops one type of DHT from forming and that helps allot with keeping your hear.

Dutasteride, dutas, avodart and generic avodart inhibits two types of DHT from effecting the scalp so it is better. It will probably be approved by the FDA in some form or another down the road but it is used all over the world to treat hair loss.

Again, if you search hair loss forums around the web you will find stories from hundreds of men using dutas for mail pattern baldness and very few will report bad side effects.

So let's learn a little more about Dutasteride

Dutasteride (marketed as Avodart, Avidart, Avolve, Duagen, Dutas, Dutagen, Duprost) is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, a drug which inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is used to treat conditions caused by DHT, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Avodart is manufactured and marketed by GlaxoSmithKline.

Dutasteride belongs to a class of drugs called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, which block the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzymes that convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride also belongs to this group. Dutasteride inhibits both isoforms of 5-alpha reductase, while finasteride inhibits only one. But a clinical study done by GlaxoSmithKline, the EPICS trial, did not find dutasteride to be more effective than finasteride in treating BPH.

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trial of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The most common adverse reactions reported in subjects receiving AVODART were impotence, decreased libido, breast disorders (including "Gynecomastia" Ejaculation disorders. Study withdrawal due to adverse reactions occurred in 4% of subjects receiving AVODART and 3% of subjects receiving placebo. The most common adverse reaction leading to study withdrawal was impotence (1%).This claim needs references to reliable sources since September 2008

So Now on to Resveratrol and Hair Loss

Here is an exciting new Study with complete instruction on how you can get your hands on Resveratrol for Hair loss today.

Italian Patent Details Hair Growth Effects of Resveratrol/Curcumin Combination

A patent from Italy claims hair growth stimulation and other anti-aging effects from an oral combination of Resveratrol and Curcumin.

Given Resveratrol’s multiple mechanisms of action in regards to longevity, inflammation, cardiovascular health, aromatase inhibition, and cancer treatment/prevention, and the established ability of Curcumin to inhibit TGF-B, (an inflammatory cytokine inexorably associated with balding), this comes as no great surprise.

Of additional interest is Curcumin’s apparent stimulatory effects on Substance P. Here are some excerpts from the patent itself.

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING CURCUMIN AND RESVERATROL AND USES THEREOF IN MEDICAL FIELD
The present invention deals with a pharmaceutical composition comprising curcumin and resveratrol and uses thereof in medical field. More specifically, the composition object of the invention can be advantageously employed for retarding ageing, for the prevention of vascular diseases, for the treatment and prevention of cancers as, for example, prostate carcinoma, skin diseases as psoriasis, and diseases of the piliferous system as hair loss.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol present in grapes, especially in its peel and in its seeds.

Curcumin is an extract of the root of the Curcumea Longa, a plant well known since a long time for its pharmaceutical properties. Nowadays curcumin is well known for its power of reducing cholesterol, its diuretic, choleretic, anti-inflammatory ability and for ameliorating the general conditions of patients treated with chemotherapy for neoplasia.

Particular feature of Curcumin is to belong to the capsaicinoids family, substances characterized by a pungent taste, similar to the one of pepper. From a point of view of molecular biology, the presence of a vanilloid receptor on the cell membrane and close to the mitochondrial structures can explain the induction of apoptosis or planned death of cells that would have become neoplastic. Moreover, in the Central Nervous System there are various receptors of capsaicinoids and this could explain the enhancement of the anti-aging action of resveratrol by curcumin.

The group of patients that has assumed only resveratrol didn't show any modification on the PSA, while the group treated with resveratrol and curcumin showed with great surprise a reduction, sometimes also relevant, in variable time periods. Moreover, during this testing, the patients treated with resveratrol and curcumin surprisingly showed positive improvements in the treatment of psoriasis and the attenuation and even a stop of the hair loss, a reduction of the hair graying and the rebirth of hair in bald areas sometimes even of the original color too.

Regarding its action on hair growth, even if not yet known, it is probably linked to the release of P substance. The growth and the pigmentation of the hair follicle would depend on mesenchymal-epithelium-neiroderic interactions not very well-known yet, where the P substance would stimulate the hair growth in vivo (RaIf Paus et al Investigation Labs, VoI 71, No 1 , p.135, 1994).

According to the invention, the pharmaceutical composition can comprise also vitamin E and/or wheat germs containing vitamin E. In fact, the powdered wheat germs are one of the richest natural resources of vitamin E (or tocopherol) and are one of the most effective antioxidants against free radicals, the aggressive substances that proliferate in our body because of the action of pollution, inaccurate diets, sun or just age.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition can also comprise Capsaicin and/or the fruit of capsicum annum, which contains capsaicin. Capsicum annum, its powdered fruit in particular, is rich in important nutritional substances as flavonoids, vitamins (C, E, PP, and K), lecithins, mineral salts and capsaicin, an alkaloid responsible for its particular taste and for its activating properties. The extract of capsicum seems to be very effective in stimulating the vitality of the tissues and in activating the venous and capillary circulation.

In particular, in the composition according to this invention, the content of resveratrol can range from 3 to 6 mg; of Curcumin from 15 to 30 mg; of vitamin E from 50 to 100 mg; of vitamin C from 10 to 30 mg; of capsaicin from 2 to 5 mg; of powdered wheat germs from 50 to 450 mg.

The composition according to the invention can be presented in capsules, pills, solution and emulsion. If in capsules or pills, the suggested dosage is one or two units, before meals.

Further object of the present invention is the use of the composition for the cancer treatment, in particular the treatment of prostate carcinoma. Moreover, the composition according to the invention can be advantageously employed for the treatment of skin diseases, in particular of psoriasis, for the treatment and the prevention from ageing, for the treatment and the prophylaxis of diseases .of the piliferous system, in particular of alopecia.

Another object of the present invention is a combination comprising resveratrol and curcumin for the simultaneous, separate or sequential use in the treatment of cancer, as for example, the prostate carcinoma, in the treatment of skin diseases as psoriasis and for the prevention and the treatment of alopecia.

The invention in fact can vary in its dosages and in its components, adding other components similar to the one suggested, but without altering the conceptual basis of the invention.

In this testing, apart from a relevant anti-cancer action on hormone-insensible prostate neoplasia, an effect on some patients has also been the stop of the hair loss and the growth of hair, sometimes of the original color too. Therefore patients without any neoplastic disease, but affected by alopecia or hair loss, have been included to the testing.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The group treated only with resveratrol didn't show any relevant variation, except from two cases that showed a slight decrease.

Capsures of 4 pills a day let to a reduction in the level of PSA after 60 days to 7.4 and then to 6.80. The patient suffered also of psoriasis of the scalp, that disappeared after the treatment and that by now, after 8 months has not reappeared. Case 6: 64 years old man affected by prostratitis that tried various treatments. After the treatment with Capsures, 6 capsules a day, after 30 days had no more perineal pain and had a hair growth.

Case 14: 75 years old man, operated 4 years before for radical prostatectomy, intolerant to hormonal treatment he has been treated with Capsures, 4 pills a day for 60 days. His PSA value reduced from 4.5 to 2.4.

As far as its action on hair is concerned, some patients, especially women that were considerably loosing their hair, after 20 days of treatment confirmed to have had a reduction in their hair loss. In bald patients, the hair, sometimes of the original color restarted to grow even after the ablation of the white hair.

CONSIDERATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The compound containing just resveratrol as active agent (Resverage) didn't cause a reduction of the PSA value and this can be due to the low bioavailability of the molecule. In the cases of prostate carcinoma the efficacy of the association of resveratrol with curcumin can be due to a higher concentration in the circulation and therefore in the tissues explained by the lipophilia of the active elements of curcumin.

The association of resveratrol and curcumin seems to have a synergic effect that enhances the anti-inflammatory power of the two active elements. It is an essential activity because in the prostate carcinoma there is a phlogistic action caused by hyperincretion of enzymes as the cyclooxygenase 1 and 2.

As far as the action on hair is concerned, it is unquestionably due to the administration of the two combined active elements, since in the compound with just resveratrol no result has been shown and in the many cases in India and in Europe where Curcumin has been employed, any effect on hair has never been reported. The most important aspect rarely highlighted is that curcuminoids are capsaicinoid substances.

Those fibers, whose nerve cell is in the posterior roots, once stimulated release neuropeptides like the P substance, Neurokinin A and the Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). Experimental researches demonstrated that the desensibilization of those fibers leads to skin lesions localized in the cervical region of the rat. These experiments indicate the existence of a tropic function. It is probable that the loss of hair is a result of the deficit of neuropeptides released by the fibers that innervate the scalp.

Therefore it is possible that the administration of a substance that has as activity similar to capsaicin, as the Curcumin that metabolizes like an active curcumoid, can stimulate the sensorial fibers that have a tropic function, and that resveratrol has a vehicular function on the tissues. Therefore, the composition of the present invention is active on cases of hormone-insensible prostate carcinoma but in particular on hair, as our research has proven. The efficacy of the composition according to the present invention also depends on the great lyophilic properties of a capsaicinoid, curcumin on the anti-inflammatory effect of the two substances.

The interference of the hormonal action on hair loss is unquestionable, even if capsaicinoid-sensible sensory innervations are an ancestral phenomenon that does not depend on the hormonal mechanisms, but through a metabolic way different from the ordinary one. The growth and the pigmentation of the hair follicle seem to be controlled by epitelius-mesenchimoneuroechtodermmic interactions not very well known, but with an important role of the P substance on the hair growth in vivo.

Editor’s Comment- It would appear that based upon the data presented here , that a Curcumin/Resveratrol combo would be well worth integrating into one’s treatment regime. The beauty of the patent registry is that allows you to access usable information years ahead of commercial availability. In this case you don’t have to wait for “Capsures” to hit the market. You can easily put together and use a much higher dose and bio-available combination of Resveratrol and Curcumin at a fraction of the cost.

So what does this mean for hair loss suffers?

The long and short of it is that because these ingredients are not monitored by the FDA we can go ahead and take them and help to reverse hair loss. The supplements can be found in many health food stores but I find they are very expensive. Purchasing them online will save about 50% and I have a coupon code which will save an extra $5 for anyone looking to try out the Resvertrol and Curcumin together.
