yeah I know, I work at a lab and snuck in my labs. didn't want to get greedy. my E2 is usually in the high 30s. my estrone was 125

Hello, @Helen and everyone, I recently did some labs . I checked my DHT, my free DHT, test , free test, and 3a Androstanediol G. If anyone remembers I took Avodart several months ago, and I took Fin several years ago . My symptoms are still bald, and ED at most times. I sometime feel completely...

What is the antidote if someone got gyno from using DHEA or pansterone?. Im trying to help someone close to me. Can someone at young age, use DHT to combat gyno??

I like this thread, Very interesting. I highly , very highly doubt I would every use Fin or Dut again, as I feel quit cured, and very stable over the last couple of months. but I like this talk about how to more safely use fin or dut. I personally like SAMe, and it is quick in its effects on me...

@tanedout , how do we know that licorice blocks DHT?

its crazy to think, that Ray Peat, Danny Roddy, Haidut, and everyone else , still cant find the safe Answer to balding. only the hard drugs like Avodart and estrogen actually grow hair along with minoxidil. Minoxidil is trash to me. I cant even use it at all. gives me short of breath and...

Haidut's says its metabolic as well. higher NAD/NADH ratio. is what is needed. Progesterone supports metabolic rate, so improving NAD. Finasteride is a mutant progesterone. So there is a case for higher NAD+ ratio.

However, Progesterone/finasteride does grow some hair. And woman are mostly protected from balding do to their higher progesterone. All men have DHT, but not all men go bald on top. So DHT has mostly good effects for men. Prgesterone and DHT has to be in balance, but there is something to bald...

no, and I think the same as you. My personal belief still, is tightness of the galea do to stress. Ray Peat says balding men show high Prolactin and Cortisol. Which don't "cause" hair loss on their own, but when there is stress, muscles tighten in the neck, shoulders, and perimeter of the skull...

I really don't think we should even be focusing on DHT. DHT is a male hormone that is very necessary to our manhood. Finasteride is a synthetic Progesterone, and Progesterone increases the metabolic rate by putting Potassium in the cell. That is probably why it grows hair. Fin taking down DHT is...

testosterone is promoted by the Power that be. It is said that males need testosterone. they give pellets in the ass, creams and gels as well an injections. Maybe it is all a scam. Just like the Powers giving Progestins and Estrogens to woman. then they get moles and skin tags around there neck...

thanks @Potion , this is taken from that article. "Mechanistically, the scalp behaves like a drum skin with tensioning muscles around the periphery. These muscle groups—the frontalis, occipitalis, and periauricular muscles and to a minor degree the temporalis—can create a “tight” scalp when...

I can run a free DHT test here at work. will do as soon as I can.

@Helen said, "because DHT is a stress hormones, and increases aldosterone and lowers potassium, which then increases adrenaline" I think that sums it up right there.

I think minoxidil works by lending NO to the top, and helping widen the vessels to the area can get more blood. I'm assuming. the scalp relaxer I made. from a rubber material. It really bunches the whole top of my head, its freaking awesome.

yes, thanks Helen. I do believe your theory too. But the nitric oxide has to be able to get to the top of head. I'm assuming.

Hey @dante, yes I have read those before. I am currently using a scalp relaxer , and I think it is working. I have been doing it for about a week. everyday, and at home I keep it on for over half hour. I am optimistic about this. Scalp tension theory explains so much, even the missing pieces...

@hairsuit... Botox, hell no... That's just an artificial way to show that if they relax the muscles on the sides of the head that hair growth does ensue... We want to do this the most non-toxic way possible... And also if baldness is basically a mechanical problem, it's got to have a mechanical...

@hairsuit , Here is my take....Testosterone and DHT grow muscle and bone. So in some men with tight scalps, test or DHT causes muscle growth or even DHT causing skull growth. Men with stress and have round heads, causes major scalp tension on the top. I think this explains why it is only the...

I really really think the scalp tension theory of baldness has a shitload of Merit... The fact that males go bald only on the top in a specific pattern, very specific and even on both sides. .. I've been experimenting with loosening the scalp it's only been a week but it definitely feels good...
