Orleander 01-30-10, 10:11 AM Doesn't a person also lose body hair as they get older? I think in men it all migrates to the nose, ears and eyebrows. ScaryMonster 01-30-10, 11:57 PM My aunt had a mutant hair about an inch long growing out of her leg, it was thick and black like a guitar string. Is it because of hormonal changes and could excessive nose hair in men also be caused by this, maybe de-werewolfing yourself could be as simple as taking a pill? Mickmeister 02-06-10, 10:19 PM It depends on where the hair is falling out. If it is the typical male pattern baldness, which is what I had, then such therapies as Propecia and Rogaine won't help it. They will only either slow down the hair loss, or completely stop it. They are not good at regrowing hair on the front of the head. Those drugs work well with hair loss at the crown area. I ended up going to two sessions at Bosley Medical in Atlanta many years ago. They transplanted 1,200 hairs to the front of my head. It worked great and I highly recommend them! I have not had to use any drugs after the transplants either. MacGyver1968 02-07-10, 07:52 AM My aunt had a mutant hair about an inch long growing out of her leg, it was thick and black like a guitar string....... In some Asian cultures, a "mutant" hair that grows on the neck, is considered good luck and is allowed to grow. There's a Vietnamese guy at work that has a single hair growing out of a mole on his neck that is as long as your index finger. It's impossible for me to talk to him without staring at it, and I have to overcome the urge to reach up and yank it out.

I think in men it all migrates to the nose, ears and eyebrows. I haven't lost any hair as yet that I can tell and I'm an old fart. Pehaps its because of my dementia that it only seems that I've lost none, who knows? :shrug::D Pinwheel 02-19-10, 10:25 AM Theres a theory that premature balding is caused by a certain level of insulin resistance (note, not diabetes in general, necessarily). Railburn 02-19-10, 10:44 AM I've never heard that, wouldent you die if you gained a tolerence to insulin? Pinwheel 02-19-10, 10:51 AM Well its not a total tolerance, just enough to have all sorts of unwanted side effects like much reduced circulation in the extremities, hair loss, dry skin etc. stateofmind 02-19-10, 04:54 PM Macrobiotics describes the cause of a receding hairline as excessive drinking of water (or beer or juices) and/or eating of fruits/sweets which over-strains the kidneys. So it's a sign of weakened, overworked or damaged kidneys. Repo Man 02-19-10, 10:08 PM Theres a theory that premature balding is caused by a certain level of insulin resistance (note, not diabetes in general, necessarily). Define premature. Standard male pattern baldness is well understood, known to be hereditary, and generally happens to people who are otherwise perfectly healthy. The only way for people who have the genetic predisposition to completely avoid it (at this time) is to be castrated before onset. An obvious case of the cure being worse than the "disease". And I put disease in quotations because many people (Superstring to give one example) find that male pattern baldness has no lasting negative consequences. WillNever 02-20-10, 08:35 AM There's not such a thing as prematurely balding, in truth. Since it is *ENTIRELY* genetic, when it happens for you is specific only to you. For some people this happens as early as the late teens or twenties. For other it doesn't begin until their 70's. And still other lucky people never bald at all in their whole lives because their follicles are genetically resistant to the chemical effects of dihydrotestosterone -- the hormone in men that causes their hair follices to shrink over time and go bald. stateofmind 02-20-10, 08:40 AM There's not such a thing as prematurely balding, in truth.

Prove that it's entirely genetic. Pinwheel 02-20-10, 08:48 AM Define premature. As in balding that occurs before it would naturally do so. I.e. you may naturally go bald in your 40s, but due to adverse factors you go bald sooner than you would otherwise. Toxins etc for example, or diseases that depress blood circulation. Repo Man 02-20-10, 09:26 AM Prove that it's entirely genetic. There is no controversy. It's well established, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldness , unless you are talking about some other from of hair loss than androgenic alopecia. WillNever 02-20-10, 09:29 AM As in balding that occurs before it would naturally do so. I.e. you may naturally go bald in your 40s, but due to adverse factors you go bald sooner than you would otherwise. Toxins etc for example, or diseases that depress blood circulation. The number of people who suffer permanent hair loss due to bad circulation or toxins is tiny. Hair loss that occurs due to poor tissue perfusion almost always place on the toes and fingers only, not the scalp. Near every man whose hairline recedes is programmed to do so, so there is no "premature." It is genetic: that is why those who bald typically notice their hair loss begins at the same age and in the same pattern as a parent, an uncle, or a grandparent who lost hair in their lifetime. We know it's genetic also because the "balding gene" has been identified and you can be screened for its presence for the cost of a few hundred dollars. Repo Man 02-20-10, 09:30 AM As in balding that occurs before it would naturally do so. I.e. you may naturally go bald in your 40s, but due to adverse factors you go bald sooner than you would otherwise. Toxins etc for example, or diseases that depress blood circulation. How would you know that you are going bald sooner (at a younger age) than you would otherwise? It isn't that uncommon for males to have receding hairlines in their teens! Certainly (in our culture at this time), it sucks to be them, but it isn't by itself a symptom of any disorder. Pinwheel 02-20-10, 09:38 AM How would you know that you are going bald sooner (at a younger age) than you would otherwise? You wouldnt, if you didnt realise it. Thats the point, when it happens early, rather than realise its pre-mature, you assume its inevitable. Poor diets and lifestyles etc may have an impact. Those that are saying t is entirley 100% genetic, id like to know why they are so sure. stateofmind 02-20-10, 10:10 AM There is no controversy. It's well established, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldness , unless you are talking about some other from of hair loss than androgenic alopecia. This is just one article of many that I found after a quick google search. The research suggests that we both influence and are influenced by our genes. It's not the one-way relationship that many people still believe. It's reason to question whether it was indeed the chicken that came before the egg. ;) "Here's some very good news: your genes are not your destiny. Earlier this week, my colleagues and I published the first study showing that improved nutrition, stress management techniques, walking, and psychosocial support actually changed the expression of over 500 genes in men with early-stage prostate cancer. This study was conducted at the non-profit Preventive Medicine Research Institute and the University of California, San Francisco in collaboration with Dr. Peter Carroll, Dr. Mark Magbanua, Dr. Chris Haqq, and others." http://www.newsweek.com/id/141984 Repo Man 02-20-10, 10:17 AM Hey, thanks for the logical fallacy! It's known as a red herring, since ITT we are discussing male pattern baldness, not prostate cancer, or heart disease, or any of the other myriad conditions where there is a complex interplay between heredity and environment. WillNever 02-20-10, 10:21 AM Was thinking the same thing. WTH is it with people these days..? Stop trying to win the conversation with red herrings. Try to learn, instead. Pinwheel 02-20-10, 10:21 AM Oh yes please teach me oh wise one! stateofmind 02-20-10, 12:04 PM I asked you, repoman, to prove that hair loss is entirely genetic and you "proved" that wikipedia says it is caused by genetics. I presented an article that talks about an experiment in which a group of men physically alter their genes by changing their diet and lifestyle and you say that this isn't relevant because it wasn't the genes that cause hair loss. But if genes aren't set in stone anymore and can be changed by our daily choices, how can anyone state with absolute certainty that it is IMPOSSIBLE to change the genes that cause hair loss in this same way? Am I missing something here? :confused: stateofmind 02-20-10, 12:10 PM And also, even the wikipedia article you presented isn't sure about itself: "Incidence of pattern baldness varies from population to population based on genetic background, environmental factors do not SEEM to affect this type of baldness greatly." So to simplify, this was just someone's (we don't know who) general observation and is by no means an established fact or even a tested hypothesis - it is really just a hypothesis.

Woo aside, there is no controversy about the link between hormones, heredity, and androgenic alopecia. Where is the evidence that diet and exercise can in any way alter the onset or progression of androgenic alopecia? Just because it has been demonstrated to be somewhat effective against prostate cancer in no way implies the same is true for androgenic alopecia. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Moreover, if it were possible to stop or reverse male pattern baldness in any significant way through diet, exercise, the use of potions containing wolfsbane, or any other means, it likely would have been found by now.

A very fundamental and important difference. And more to the point of this thread, it says nothing about male pattern baldness. It's "possible" that rubbing toads on your head could cure male pattern baldness - but there is no good reason to think so, and the burden of proof would be on the claimant, not the doubter. http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/6884/teapot.gif (http://img704.imageshack.us/i/teapot.gif/) It's up to you to prove the teapot exists, not to me to prove that it doesn't. Saying science doesn't have all of the answers is a juvenile straw man fallacy, and displays a fundamental misunderstanding of what science actually is. Patent broccoli and running?

For example people know smoking is bad for you and can lead to cancer but still ignore advice and puff away. People are vain, and vanity is one of the reasons that people smoke cigarettes. We all live in denial of our mortality, and blackened lungs and clogged arteries are not visible when you look in the mirror. But a growing forehead, and a bald spot are. Look at the lengths many will go to try and prevent the inevitable as is. Millions spent on both complete snake oil, and legitimate medications that have unfortunately limited efficacy. Plus the hair transplant industry, which, as noted earlier in the thread, is very expensive, has a degree of risk, and won't work for everyone. Oh yeah, also toupees. If it were as simple as eating right and exercising, yes, I think keeping your hair could trump avoiding an early death. Repo Man 02-20-10, 01:21 PM You guys are aware that the connection between being castrated (no testosterone) and baldness goes back to Aristotle Hippocrates right? Male-pattern baldness may be the only sign of virility that most men would rather do without. Like an adolescent's first beard, it's a condition triggered by the release of testosterone, only in this case the hormone reacts with an enzyme in the bloodstream, creating dihydrotestosterone, which shuts certain follicles off rather than turning them on. The best way to keep all your hair, Hippocrates noted more than two thousand years ago, is to be castrated. (Eunuchs are famously resistant to baldness.) In 1942, the Yale anatomist James B. Hamilton took this observation a step further. He studied a pair of identical twins; one of them was bald, and the other had been castrated in a mental institution and had a full head of hair. Hamilton gave the hairy twin shots of testosterone and watched to see what would happen. (He later repeated the experiment with more than a hundred other castrated inmates, with similar results.) Within a few months, the patient was as bald as his brother, and his locks never grew back. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-12648915_ITM Evidence courtesy of a rather unethical (at least by modern standards) Yale anatomist. It's good to know, but I'm glad that such an experiment would not be allowed in our times. Pinwheel 02-20-10, 01:23 PM Like I said, I dont buy it. People dont smoke to look cool. They smoke cos nicottine feels great. They eat junk food cos it tastes great and yet it leaves them looking fat and unattractive. Vanity doesnt change anything.

They eat junk food cos it tastes great and yet it leaves them looking fat and unattractive. Vanity doesnt change anything. Do people know nicotine feels great when they very first start smoking? Because most people I've talked to relate stories of being sickened, and even vomiting the first time they tried tobacco. Peer pressure is one of the most widespread causes cited by young people to start smoking. An individual’s peers are the group of people of similar age. Frequently they have identical interests like the individual or may attend the same school or college. http://smoking.ygoy.com/how-peer-pressure-infulences-smoking/ Apparently, most people begin smoking because of peer pressure. The addiction to nicotine soon follows, and makes it difficult to impossible for them to quit when they've reached an age where peer pressure is no longer so important. So, they keep smoking because of nicotine, but they begin in order to look cool. Pinwheel 02-20-10, 01:37 PM So what if thats how they started? Ultimately, smoking feels great during the smoke. People smoke even with no-one else around. Thats hardly vanity. stateofmind 02-20-10, 02:27 PM I realize more and more the futility of trying to reason with someone who has no interest in actually considering the matter.

What evidence have you brought to the table that's actually relevant to the cause of male pattern baldness, or any possible treatment? How are they cop out arguments, and why are there quotation marks around the word scientists in that sentence? You do realize that you're in a science forum don't you? Trying to elevate woo such as yin/yang, qi, macrobiotics, feng shui, or any other crackpot nonsense to the same level as actual fact and evidence based ideas is quite futile, and I'd encourage you to quit wasting your time with such. Pinwheel 02-20-10, 02:53 PM I realize more and more the futility of trying to reason with someone who has no interest in actually considering the matter.

Ultimately, smoking feels great during the smoke. People smoke even with no-one else around. Thats hardly vanity. No, that's drug addiction. As I said before the vanity part provides the incentive to begin - the drug addiction sustains it long after the peer pressure aspect is no longer relevant. I think you underestimate vanity as a driving force, especially when you're posting in a thread about male pattern baldness (which is really only an issue of vanity). Though good diet and regular exercise aren't as popular as medical authorities think they ought to be, think about how much less popular they would be if health was the only incentive. Being thin and fit is strongly correlated with sexual attractiveness all over the world. That is what gets, and what keeps, most people who do make some effort at diet and exercise motivated. Clothing, makeup, plastic surgery, orthodontistry - these things represent billions of dollars in the world's economy. All driven by vanity.

A_Starr 11-01-10, 04:35 AM The Matt Gardson's method may help.. it was very effective with regrowth of hairs on my front head. If you eat meat, you are getting enough B12.. eat more protein like meat or eggs or something or nuts .. Hummingbird 11-19-10, 07:49 AM i'm currently trying the matthew gardson's method. You must use it TWICE daily!! Stryder 11-19-10, 08:15 AM What is kind of amusing is the obsession with trying to maintain something that's dead as soon as it appears from your scalp or the rather interesting factor that the Ancient Romans invented many ways of removing hair purposely for hygiene. (Why do you think most statues didn't depict a hairy man?) Yet for some reason the sudden loss of hair of the imminent loss caused by hereditary line seems to concern so many people. If you want to keep your hair, get a box to keep it in. Bruce Lee 12-15-10, 11:31 PM best way to consult a hair surgen ........... Nothing do other with out consult surgen . Alin123 12-19-10, 11:48 AM Hey, Mr. Repo Man. Could you please share the Matt Gardson's Method please? Would be very very much appreciated. Thanks in advance SnowsportsSid 02-10-11, 10:38 AM Propecia is the best reasonably priced treatment option for MPB (male pattern baldness) at the moment. It can have side effects though. I believe the clinical trials showed that side effects occurred in around 2% of men. As has been said in previous posts, this drug works by inhibiting your bodies production of an enzyme called 5 alpha-reduclase, which basically binds with free testosterone and converts it into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). The hormone dihydrotestosterone is responsible for the development of male characteristics in males during adolescence - facial hair etc. Tieing in with what has been said previously about MPB only being a problem in men after the onset of adolescence (after testosterone production has been cranked up), dihydrotestosterone is also thought to be the hormone responsible for causing hair follices to shrink. Therefore, if you can reduce the amount of DHT in your bloodstream, by blocking the enzyme that converts free testosterone to DHT, the theory is that you will reduce the rate of MPB. The clinical trials of Propecia appear to support this theory, with apparently most men tested seeing a reduction in hair loss and a smaller number of men even seeing regrowth. I'm 26 and have been losing hair for a while. I tried Propecia for a few years and it didn't eliminate my hair loss, but it did appear to significantly slow it down. I made a decision about 6 months ago to come off Propecia however, because I was suffering from side effects including reduced libido and also more worryingly, cognition problems. Having come off the drug, I am no longer experiencing the side effects. Looking around on the internet however, there are calls from a number of doctors for further research into Propecia, because a number of people have reported that they experienced side effects that did not go away after they had come off the drug. This is obviously very worrying for people. There is research taking place into something called stem cell multiplication of hair follicles. A company called Intercytex based in Manchester, England were conducting clinical trials of a procedure which basically involved extracting hair follicle stem cells from the area of DHT resistant hair follices around the back and side of your head, then multiplying these follices in the laboratory and then injecting these follices into the balding areas on the top of your head. This seemed like a very good idea and if they could get it to work properly and bring it home at a reasonable price, it would be a massive breakthrough in the treatment of MPB. However, at some point last year, I believe intercytex sold this product to an American company. I'm not sure how the research has been going since then, but hopefully, fingers crossed, this will soon be a feasible option for people. gmilam 03-18-11, 07:45 AM Speaking of grey areas anyone know how to stop grey hairs? :D Go bald. :D Honeyb35 04-08-11, 07:01 AM Hey, Mr. Repo Man.

Mickmeister 04-30-11, 09:12 AM Hair transplant is the only way to go Rickey 05-04-11, 02:18 AM You may be able to style your hair with the best hair care chemical products but certainly you may lose your hairs in the long run if you do apply harmful shampoos and conditioners for a longer period of time. I suggest if you face any problem with hair loss then do visit a good trichologist to help you out in finding the exact cause of hair loss and include nutritional supplements in the long run.

Rickey 08-02-11, 02:37 AM If you are losing hair on a daily basis then the best option you have is to consult a trichologist so as to get into the root of the hair loss and eliminate it permanently.

Some prefer to be bald and shave their heads daily to prevent hair growth. To each their own. http://reason.com/assets/mc/jwalker/2011_05/trump.jpg Stoniphi 08-03-11, 06:08 AM That's me, Cosmic. ;) Rickey 08-31-11, 05:45 AM There are chances that you may lose hair from your scalp without any major disease. I suppose it may be due to the the side-effects arising due to unhealthy lifesty;e since a longer time. So, if you are not finding any solution for hair loss then look for the natural hair care products available online.

Why can't they live on our scalp? chimpkin 08-31-11, 07:27 PM I dunno. We get scabies instead. Fraggle Rocker 09-01-11, 05:37 PM why not? Why can't they live on our scalp?Parasites that can live on naked skin cannot necessarily live in hair, and vice versa. Notice that we attract two different species of lice, body lice and head lice. Body lice didn't exist as a species until around 70KYA, when we invented clothing. They are that specialized. Morgen 09-07-11, 01:34 PM After losing the hair, hair transplantation is the right treatment to get all hair on head. I do,t think so that their is any other way to get hair except hair transplantation. Ghost_007 09-10-11, 06:41 PM I have some tips to prevent from hair fall. 1. Use coconut oil on your hair. 2.

I use olive oil on my hair and scalp. I have longish hair and hardly any hairs fall out, the improvement since I started using the oil has definitely been noticeable. |
