Hey everyone, I am new here, but just wanted to start another forum about hair loss.
I became familiar with Ray Peat last fall after reading HLAF by Danny Roddy. I have a similar story to Danny with experimenting with diets, messing up my metabolism, etc.. My hairline started receding very slowly a few years ago but has sped up slightly the last year, which is why I ended up reading HLAF. After implementing some Danny Roddy and Ray Peat's ideas, my health is starting to improve. Hard to tell if my hair is...
I understand this is a very widely discussed topic, but would like anyone reading this to chime in their ideas of what works best or what makes things worse for you guys. Below is a list of supplements, methods, topical solutions, ideas, devices, etc. that have been most widely discussed on here/other forums. Please give your input on which are most effective. I will be getting labs done as well, so you can tell me which are most important.
Supplements/drugs (topical vs oral?)*
Aspirin*
Caffeine*
Taurine*
Niacinamide*
vitamin E*
Biosil (silica)
Anti-histamines
Desiccated thyroid (or other thyroid med)
Pregnenolone, DHEA, progesterone
Topical Solutions (besides ones listed above)
Minoxidil
Ketoconazole
Stemoxydine?
Polysorbate 80
Essential oils? (lavender, rosemary)
Devices/Methods
Microneedling
LLLT (lasers)
UVB lamps
Massages (detumescence therapy)
Giving up shampoo?
Diets
Eliminate PUFA
Calcium phosphate ratio
Dairy? (raw?)
Ideas
Lowering prolactin
PGD2 inhibitors/PGE2 agonists (or is it better to inhibit both?)
raising body temp and pulse through the diet/lifestyle changes (did this work for your hair?)
Ok, I think that is all that I could think of at the moment. I will post more ideas if they come to me.
I would appreciate your opinion/personal experience as well as any links. If you have any other ideas feel free to throw them at me.
Thanks!
