I don’t want to completely knock it, it has a vast amount of history, something has to give! But saying that I haven’t actually heard of any real life success stories. So maybe you’re right with the evidence bit. ayuvedic treatments are unproven, mystical, superstitious nonsense and have no basis in real science this is what the evidence shows us.

As you can see, a relatively low percentage of people experience side effects, and I would estimate there is a slightly higher probability of experiencing side effects from dut as opposed to fin.

i wanted to shift to DUT , because many of them saying that fin will loose its effectiveness. Some dut users swear by taking an anti-androgen along with dut. They have been on dut for about 6 months and have got good results. They only use an anti-androgen probably once a week.

In my opinion, the best way to deal this is to see a dermatologist. If you truly are balding and not just paranoid , you’ll probably want to get on Big 3:
- Minoxidil 5%
- Propecia
- A shampoo with ketoconazole 2% (usually Nizoral), which has anti-androgen properties.

Of course, the first two have side-effects that are minor to some and stronger to others. So you and your doc have to decide.

Obviously unlike other medications there’s no way to know if they’re effective til 6 mos down the road and my hair falls out, so I don’t want to experiment. But for readers, I don’t think it would make much a difference if its right after the expiration date, but I would say for 6 months and longer expired, you are best off throwing them away and buying some with good dates.

Have you ever tried circuit training? Different things work for different people but it’s a good way to get an intense workout that is always interesting. The workouts tend to target the core as well. I have had the best results with circuit training. You can tailor it to match what you want from a workout as well. EG I do it to build muscle, but my girlfriend does it to tone.

Swimming is great as anwayne said. You can’t go wrong there.

Other than that, drink tons of water and keep active. Walk instead of driving when you can etc.

I took Propecia for a year, then switched to 1/4 of Proscar a day for the next 4 years to save money. After the 5 years, the finasteride seemed to lose its effectiveness and I switched to Avodart (dutasteride) which I have been on for the last 6 months. I got very good results from both and suffered no side effects from Propecia and little side effects from Avodart.

Answers: That’s really your only option. If you stop taking finasteride now, you’ll lose more hair, which means less hair available to transplant.

I always tell my patients if they get the value of either a brow lift or a face lift from strip surgery, please send me the value of that surgery (about $5,000). Since no one ever sent that to me, I must assume that it never happens (it really does not happen at all).

In conclusion: Your forehead will not change after a strip surgery.

even the doctor was amazed. After researching it a bit, he said he didn’t know why my hair was growing back but that the LEDs couldn’t hurt me and were safe to keep using, so I did. Just wondering…has anybody else ever heard of this phenomenon? So far, I have been using the LEDs regularly on my head and have gone from a Norwood 5 to a solid 4 and there’s still more hair coming in. I can’t be the only one this has happened to can I?
