[citation needed].............so why do cortisol injections regrow hair and give people energy ?
Topical hydrocortisone causes bald spots. Here is section from the FDA's page for hydrocortisone sodium succinate:
"ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions have been reported with SOLU-CORTEF or other corticosteriods: Allergic reactions: Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylactoid reaction, anaphylaxis, angioedema. Cardiovascular: Bradycardia, cardiac arrest, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac enlargement, circulatory collapse, congestive heart failure, fat embolism, hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in premature infants, myocardial rupture following recent myocardial infarction (see WARNINGS), pulmonary edema, syncope, tachycardia, thromboembolism, thrombophlebitis, vasculitis. Dermatologic: Acne, allergic dermatitis, burning or tingling (especially in the perineal area, after intravenous injection), cutaneous and subcutaneous atrophy, dry scaly skin, ecchymoses and petechiae, edema, erythema, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, impaired wound healing, increased sweating, rash, sterile abscess, striae, suppressed reactions to skin tests, thin fragile skin, thinning scalp hair, urticaria." ―FDA
It is even on the warning label for topical hydrocortisone.
Show me an actual scientific study where long-term use has caused hair growth.
