Mhm, hair loss has been worse today and yesterday. Have not been shedding this much in a long time.
Still shedding a lot of long telogen hairs with a bulb on them.
However since I've used Nizoral the itch has pretty much gone away and when I towel dry my hair or run my hand through it a lot of small flakes come out. They are white and yellowish in appearance.
Also it looks like tiny little peach fuzz hair fall off when I ran my hand through my hair. I read somewhere that Nizoral causes an initial shedding? Hair looks and feels better and thicker though. When I look at my scalp I have a lot of dandruff and small white flakes everywhere.
Churchill, did you experience this too?
Hi guys glad to see people started commenting again, I've been losing hair for around 4 years now due to taking the b5 for about 7-8months, I've lost hair all over my head, if I grow my hair you can see all round the sides how bad it's got, but the worst is the receding hairline and just above temples, also my crown is very very thin it sucks. We need to keep discussing actual test results and see what we can come up with. You would think after 4 years the body would return to normal but obviously not. I'm running out of ideas and there's no way I'm taking fin. I just purchased brewers yeast as it contains about 14 amino acids all the b vitamins biotin, and many other vitamins and minerals. It's worth a shot I suppose. Keep talking guys we will find a cure.
Has none of you tried using a bit of castor oil and massaging your scalp for 5 minutes? This is a slow process, but there's a definite improvement. It makes the scalp go cool, and sometimes it shows up as pimples on the face - almost like a trickle down effect. But it does not happen to people who're on a regular usage mode.
Try using a very tiny amount of it and keeping it on overnight.
I don't have MPB( I am a girl), but this helps if you aren't totally bald. Keep at it for a few months with a very little amount of castor oil. Hair growth doesn't happen in a week or 2.
If you have severe loss, and looks like there's no other way, go for hair transplants now before it's too late.
Please use OIL when you have itching. Olive oil, Castor oil; ANY good oil. Helps with the itching. It's like a moisturizer for the scalp.
Nothing to update. Hair loss continues very slowly thanks to Nizoral. Repeat again only thing to stop my hairless was RU, but it is experimental.
Continue to get jacked, and improve income. next is a motorcycle. For men it isn't all about looks.
I used castor oil and crude oil on my head i.e edgar cayce and ended up with a twitching facial muscle (never damage) after a few months so I would be careful. It did eventually go away
*Heated Castor oil can cause permanent nerve damage
Kerastase Densifique is rebranded neotenic which essentially does nothing. As one commenter put it "4% increase in hairs after 3 months - pissing into the wind" Save your money.

On the first page it says it could be related to cysteine deficiency.
I have read up on cysteine deficiency and it lists loss of haur pigmentation of one of its effects. I have noticed that the part of my hair close to the root is of a lighter, almost white colour. So I am thinking of ordering some Cysteine.
Has anybody here supplemented with Cysteine and did it improve anything?
Update on the human growth hormone, 1 week in and there's no change, when I pull my hair 1 or 2 will come out each time. I can only hope that there will be change after a month but to be honest I highly doubt it. I don't think there is a cure.
1 or 2 hairs is normal. Has your hairloss stopped?

I would think that the cysteine levels would go back to normal by themselfs once you quite overdosing the b5 vitamine. I am taking 150 mg L-Cysteine a day I think it might be helping a little bit no regrowth.
Im using the kezo schampoo twice a week, minoxidil every day and I take one pill of "beautful hair" a day, wich contains l-cystein, b5, b6, b12, inositol, niacin and more stuff... I would probobly lose hair faster if I dident do this but unfortunately its not a cure.
Has anybody tried aloe vera. Its a looong shot but it seems to have a healing effect. ( i was chocked when I borrowed my friends aloe vera toothepaste and my teeth got whiter after I used it.. the thoothepaste was green in colour and dident have any shit in it that would scratch my theeth white). Maybe and this is maybe with a capital M but maybe it could heal us from the inside if we eat aloe vera pills or something...

Yes a few of have and had no results.
I started RU a couple weeks ago so hoping this starts to work soon.
No hairloss hasn't stopped, when I pull my hair in different places 1-2 hairs come out, so if I rub my head then about 10 come. Been going on for about 4 years now. The sides of my hair is really noticeable now. Did propecia help anyone on here? Also dutasteride is more powerful than propecia so was wandering if anyone has tried it, the side effects are putting me off trying them tho.
I have buzzed my hair down to a 4. Since I am diffuse This makes the loss look better.
I am starting on Promox from dr Klein. This is topical fin with 5% minox as a vechical. It also has retin a to help penetrate the scalp better. I am using it once a day to hopefully prevent any sides. Goal is to maintain what I have, if I have regrowth even better.

You still think this is just normal MPB?
What happened with the progress you had with b5+l-cysteine at start of the thread?
Cysteine didn't work and it doesn't make sense as levels would of returned to normal after two years.
It's possible the body became cysteine resistant, similar to insulin resistance, but I am unaware of anyway to test that.
In addition, RU is a topical DHT blocker which worked for me and DHT is the cause of MPB
To answer your question I do think this is regular MPB, but what's important is how did B5 trigger the "mpb start gene". If we could answer that, then maybe we could prevent mpb in ALL men.
For example, men who are chronically deficient in b5, do they never develop hairloss? I like to see a study done that in a third world country.
This was interesting. Discussion of homeless people's hair. Many suspect alcohol, but perhaps malnutrition leads to a b5 deficient?

"How many homeless people have I seen? Likely more than you. I've done alot of volunteer work. Alot of them, even white older men, seem to have, on average, alot more hair than the average person their age. That doesn't mean it looks good, only that I noticed less had any noticeable hair loss.
But do I think alcohol plays a role in reducing hairloss? Only if diet in general plays a role, which I think it does, though I have no idea to what extent. I wouldn't dare say that alcohol is the reason that homeless people seem to have more hair though; that's a bit of a stretch in my opinion."

they are talking lots about B vitamins in that thread.
This was the thread starters answer to me about b5 megadosing
"dude you most likely forced your body to burn fat for fuel through high dose b5. When a cell has more acetyl coa then oxaloacetate it will force your cells to produce energy through b oxidation. You could have also depleted your body of biotin, cysteine and lysine. I won't go into detail as to why but if youre curiois tpu can just let me know and ill post later. Also riboflavin requirements could have been it into overdrive and thus depleted."
Im gonna try with the supplements he talked about in that thread, ofc I will comeback and tell if its made any difference

Check this out if you're wary about trying fin, people have had decent results on it. I'm scared of fin because of the potential sexual side effects it poses. Still looking for alternatives...I haven't been up to date with this forum for a while, but has anyone gotten any real tests done? If we could get a few blood test reports and cross check them with each other at critical test points (Cortisol, test, dht), we could find the culprit.
Lets try to keep this alive guys.
