A Hairy Proposition

Well, the feedback has been positive to very positive. Another 3 of my friends now swear by the treatment below. Hence I thought it might be useful to repost the hair thingee. Some of the feedback I got was that the initial two-three weeks will see tiny hair strands trying to grow and generally will fall off even quicker. They noticed significantly more hair growth towards the second month and now has more hair growth, especially from the crown area and the front side. By the third month, they all concur that their scalp got slightly itchy but at the same time saw significant new hair growth as well. Maybe old hair were trying to come out of their follicles ... lol. I did notice the improvements in my friends. Wish I could get a cut of the royalties...

PROSCAR is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate to improve symptoms; reduce the risk of acute urinary retention (AUR); and reduce the risk of the need for surgery, including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and prostatectomy. Proscar is manufactured by Merck. Similar to the discovery of Viagra (which was an unexplained side-effect as well) ..., they found the side effects of using Proscar was unexplained hair growth. Proscar comes in 5mg tablets, but their own study showed that you only need 1mg to reverse the effects for hair regrowth. Merck cleverly created new 1mg Proscar tablets and called them Propecia. The only difference is buying Proscar, you only need to cut up the tablet into 4, as that would be a lot cheaper than buying Propecia.

Apparently, there is little side effects for taking Proscar for men even if the hair thing doesn't work as it will also act as defence for future prostate problems - killing two birds with one tablet. How it works: countering male pattern baldness ( androgenetic alopecia ). Finasteride acts in the body to significantly lower levels of dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ) by inhibiting the type 2 5 Alpha Reductase enzyme which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT. High amounts of DHT contribute to prostate enlargement as well as hair loss in individuals with a genetic pre-disposition to it.

Proscar side-effects study:


Propecia has been approved for treating hair loss back in 1997, and has met with varying degrees of success. Proscar and Propecia are not new. However, the key appears to be using it in combination with a few other things.

The latest small scale study using Minoxidil and Finastride:


Don't be a miser, use the 5% Minoxidil (Head Way, I believe) formula and not the 2% formula. Then supplement it with the necessary multivitamin & mineral supplement called Crowning Glory ( I know, its tacky) which contains the essential multi vitamins necessary for hair growth. Finally, supplement that with Saw Palmetto, best for absorption is the brand under Prime ProGuard. For better overall effect, use only Pregaine, clear gel shampoo. As a last ditch measure, rub your nails together for a few minutes every day - that's the yoga way, apparently.
