dht promotes sebum
sebum promotes bacteria growth
bacteria growth promote baldness
selsun
potassium bicarbonate
nizoral
zinc
borax - but won't dissolve in alcohol
what else?
Hi John, been following your posts for a few years and you certainly provide some very compelling theories that seem to be while not exactly running against the orthodoxy on these threads but quite correctly pointing out that despite adopting the main Peat / Peatworld / Roddy protocols (if there is such a cleary defined thing) that you still highly unlikely to experience any significant regrowth. I myself have at for the main part, arrested hairloss (a few shedding incidents excepted) and have at times seen some very minor regrowth. Yet is hardly significant.
I am convinced you are entirely correct here. I have been consuming liver for a long time now, for the vitamin a and it has reduced sebum build up on my skin, this for me was the most significant change I made.
I have at times used scalp massage and I believe this is beneficial for breaking up sebum and fibrosis, but if im honest, I lack the discipline to stick to this on a long term basis.
I have also seen temporary positive effects of topical progesterone which I think either block the DHT directly or blocks the eostrogen that somehow compels the scalp to produce DHT in response, thus creating the sebum.
I'm confident that in regular comsumption of liver, I can keep the sebum production low, however, if there are parisitical organisms on my scalp, feeding on any sebum and creating inflamation, then I am unlikely to experience significant regrowth, correct?
