If Calcification Is The Root Of Hair Loss - How To Reverse It? (Magnesium , D, A, K2, Potassium)

[brix]

Would you be able to elaborate more on the masturbation aspect - particularly if it's done excessively (especially in the younger years) and its effects systemically.

For example, would one find themselves in a state of chronically low dopamine?

Theoretically yes as prolactin rises sharply with ejaculation. Dopamine and prolactin antagonize eachother.

Doesn't masturbation increase dopamine in the brain as well?

I pretty much mentioned all the effects except the loss of Zinc (which is important in hair loss prevention and many health parameters). The extent of the damage and the frequency that you can withstand will depend a lot on your health state. Say someone who is stressed, rather estrogenic and/or low in testosterone, low in Zinc and/or high in Copper, has high Endotoxins etc won't be able to withstand nearly as much masturbation before seeing visible damage than someone who has an optimal state. Your body will usually tell you with signs that you are past this limit (feeling low dopamine, low test, hair loss, low libido) though the libido part can be trumped by the hypersexualization of modern society and ease of access to pornography. While you may not be able to reverse some physical damage, reducing the frequency of masturbation at any age will greatly help to restore the health balance. For some it might mean doing nofap for several months (like most remissions of Propecia in terms of androgen levels, as seen on propecia help forums and from my experience, has required long abstention).

In more esoteric terms, sexual energy is lifeforce. Many great minds sexually abstained and believed it was a key to their mental power. Not only mentally but physically, that is why Mike Tyson completely abstained for 5 years to become world champion. At the time he was probably the most dominant fighter we have ever seen on film. It's when he started doing drugs and having a lot of sex that he fell (sure the loss of his coach was a big blow but the compensatory mechanisms were highly destructive), nowadays he is bald even though he showed no sign of hair loss during his 20's when his androgens were off the chart. When Pythagoras was asked when should a man have sex with a woman, he replied "When you want to lose what strength you have."

But ejaculation increases prolactin, inhibiting dopamine. And like I said, it does peak dopamine when edging but definitely leaves you feeling depleted of dopamine after (even in the absence of ejaculation). Like any hard drugs. Might not happen nearly as bad when having sex with someone and love is involved. Zinc is also dopaminergic.

It’s not just dopamine at edging the whole orgasm is an explosion of dopamine.
The zinc lost is so small it’s null.
I feel awful without masturbating, too much on edge and nofap was neither enjoyable nor productive.

 

[Elephanto]

The zinc lost is so small it’s null.

I've read that before but honestly I think it might be an hasty conclusion. That or the fact that most modern men hardly get 10% of the RDA for Zinc so this small loss is enough. They may have intestinal permeability or eat Zinc with sources of phytic acid (like wheat products) which inhibits Zinc absorption, so barely absorbing any. I just know that Zinc gave me very noticeable effects at high dose (very anti-cortisol, pro-dopamine and pro-hair thickness) that are much less noticeable nowadays, indicating that I was depleted and I repleted. Nails are a good sign for low zinc, when you are low they are weaker and have ridges; they become very white at the tip, hard and ridgeless when your Zinc levels are high.

Where are you getting 10% of RDA?
I ask because I was looking it up myself and in America I.E. it’s very uncommon to have a zinc deficiency, it’s in almost all the meats

But like I said, most people are either mixing it with phytic acid, or intestinal permeability may be more predominant in people suffering from hair loss. Haidut recently mentioned that Magnesium is important to fix intestinal permeability, I didn't know that but it turns out to be one of the most important supps in my stack. Avoiding sources of gut irritation is also important, plus Zinc helps with intestinal permeability too. You also need B6 to properly absorb Zinc, P-5-P is a more convenient form since some people are genetically bad at converting it in its bioactive form (P-5-P) so unless you want to get a DNA test getting P-5-P is a sure bet.

You'd likely need to eat several portions of red meat every day to get an important Zinc intake, that would come with a lot of Iron (bad for hair, cancer, inflammation, endotoxin, serotonin) and anti-thyroid Carnitine. I don't think that the average young man eats this diet.

Anyway we can assume that the loss of Zinc is irrelevant if you want, that doesn't remove all of the other negative effects of ejaculation nor remove the possibility of taking Zinc helping with hair loss.

BTW when I wrote that being low in Zinc makes you less able to withstand damage from ejaculation, I wasn't only talking about it reducing Zinc further but that since it is anti-estrogenic, pro-testosterone, pro-dopamine (so anti-cortisol/prolactin/serotonin), anti-endotoxin, anti-nitric oxide, protects intestinal integrity and is a calcium receptor antagonist (so decalcifying), being low in Zinc for whatever reason shifts your health balance negatively and thus makes it more likely that the effects of ejaculation will cause noticeable damage.

 

[BrianF]

This protocol makes a lot of sense to me. If my hairloss wasn't caused by chronic TE and thyroid issues, and I had actual AGA, I would feel confident about this.
AGA is a fibrosing form of hairloss, nattokinase removes the unwanted fibroids.
MK7 reverse arterial calcification.

Could you define 'TE' and 'AGA', please?

 

[BrianF]

Cyclic AMP is said to decrease PDG2 activity.

'AMP' ?

 

[baccheion]

'AMP' ?

cAMP

I tried Magnesium Citrate and it gave me seriously runny stools so I stopped it. Is that typical? I think I saw you mention it somewhere.

Thank you for elaborating on that.

I discovered pornography at a very young age and I believe masturbation became a way for me to cope with lingering depression/anxiety issues. It was very excessive all the way up until my mid 20's. I always felt that it had overall effect on my physical development as well as my libido - I would often abstain from sex because of how "low" it would make me feel afterwards. Then of course I've coupled that with a highly stressful life and wouldn't you know it my testosterone is low normal (if I didn't work out it would be much worse) and cortisol is often high.

 

[JDreamer]

Yea. Try chelated/TRAACS magnesium.

Will have to take a look. All I know is that experience with the other Mag was not pleasant lol.

Stop repeating what the typical NoFap users say. Almost everyone there accepts totally unreflected and naively the facts which came from yourbrainrebalanced.com. Comparing porn with hard drugs is just absurd, if you have experience with both you know what I am talking about. The dopamine high and the low afterwards is NOTHING in comparison. I agree with you that porn is a problem in terms of orgasming too often too frequently. Pornography makes it look like you have a whole harem for yourself and its obvious for your brain to use advantage of that, so too many ejaculations is what follows. Try having sex without coming for the first time and compare it with edging to porn or without, it doesn't really matter. You will feel irritated it has nothing to do with "too much dopamine".

The core problem of ejaculating is the down-regulation of androgen receptors in your brain and simultaneously an increase in estrogen receptors (This effect is especially recognizable after three orgasms in a relatively short period of time) and it takes weeks to recover from that. This fact is people in NoFap Forums or wherever simply ignore or do not know. The decreased uptake of androgens in your brain is one of the main reasons for chronically low dopamine, the second reason is the antagonization of dopamine by prolactin which can stay high for up to two weeks.

Yourbrainrebalanced focuses almost solely on dopamine and delta-fosB and the down regulation of dopamine receptors, even though dopamine receptors can and will recover in just a few days. Dopamine releasing hard drugs like meth and cocaine down regulate these receptors for months or many years, depends how long the drug was abused. Thats why it is just silly to compare porn with 'hard drugs' as nofap activists always state. I can't repeat it more often, the main problem of porn is that it induces an unhealthy and unnatural amount of orgasms in a very short time span.

 

[Elephanto]

@Steene You know I previously mentioned all the effects that you claim "No Fap users" ignore right (I don't know that website btw). I didn't mean to say it had all the long-term effects of hard drugs but that the mechanism of inducing a low dopamine state once you come down, in the case of edging for several hours, is the same. In the case of ejaculation, it directly triggers prolactin which most drugs don't, so it has its own way of lowering dopamine and increasing cortisol and estrogen.

 

[Arrade]

Could you define 'TE' and 'AGA', please?

TEllogen Effluvium and Androgenetic Alopecia. I was wrong about the TE perhaps.

 

[Arrade]

Parathyroid hormone may be implicated in calcification. Boron density in the parathyroid is apparently higher than it is in other tissues, and boron deficiency may increase levels of parathyroid hormone.

Also, my cat developed a bald spot – smooth fur-less skin between the shoulder blades. Treated it with urea. At the same time, for other reasons, I started supplementing him with taurine. Within just two or three days the spot was already starting to get furred over. I lean toward crediting the taurine.

Taurine may have some benefits for hair. Taurine suppresses tgf-β, which damages hair follicles (among much else). Might make hair less frizzy. Seems to grow cat fur. If I was balding I might try high dose taurine plus scalp application.

It's important to note the thyroid hormone calcitonin opposes the parathyroid. It also controls levels of calcium in the blood and the activity of the osteoclasts.
If my idea is correct, perhaps using synthetic T4 suppresses that hormone and that's why something like synthroid can cause hairloss?

Interesting idea. I think RP has suggested that artificial T4 can suppress not only endogenous T4 but also endogenous T3 as well, so maybe it suppresses thyroid gland activity in general, and therefore possibly calcitonin too.

I jus wanna say that you are completely right. I spent years, and I mean years, researching the effects of masturbation on the mind and body. From Brahamacharya to ancient Jewish texts. The naysayers will never believe you - have to accept that. An interesting anecdote, after a very long PMO addiction and extreme hairloss, recently I feel a strong sensation in my nipples immediately after ejaculation. My intuition strongly tells me this is prolactin. Its almost like stepping into a cold pool, only more uncomfortable.
