does using an all-natural detox supplement help prevent male balding?
362382
in one word..NO..\nUnfortunately there is no real process for preventing male baldness..Products such as Nioxin or Rogaine do decrease the amount of hair lost, but the catch is once you stop using them, the hair continues to recede as fast as if you had never started.

Grist look at cause, have you had surgery,stress,change in diet ? Blood is the only thing that feeds the hair. Rogain uses drugs, only works for 27% of the people who use it. I've been working and recommending Nioxin to people since 1993. Originally design for people going though kemo. This product is all vitamins and herbs , find it in a salon. Don't expect over night results.

Coal tar might help.That's the active ingredient in Nutrogena T Gel.You can also try T Sal with salicylic acid to help the sloughing process and unclog the pores while removing dead skin cells.\nI'm surprised your doctor didn't recommend that you supplement selenium in tablet or capsule form.Selenium is linked to curing such ailments of the scalp as is vitamin C.C governs the circulation of your scalp along with some other vitamins.Biotin may also help as it's responsible for the health of the follicle.\nShen Min is a company I've used products from.They're primarily for thinning hair but have many more benefits.Do a search for that name and you'll get a few hits.\nThe fact of the matter is it sounds like psoriasis and not seborric dermatitis.You'll need to see a dermatologist if it is.

Propecia is the only thing that I know of --I have used it but it is expensive 60 dollars per month forever.  It works for most men.  Some say rogaine also works for male pattern baldness (that is balding in the back of the head).  Good luck!

You might want to start with Nioxin products, and then if no luck move on to minoxodil (Rogaine).  There is also a drug that inhibits Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) called Propecia.  DHT is the main reason people go bald.

Rogaine makes a product for women.  Perhaps that would help?

There are different types pf hair fall.The one that most of the males are concerned is the male pattern baldness and is related to the sensitivity of the hair follicles to the androgen.There are numerous treatment for this androgen male pattern baldness \n1) Minoxidil-It is increased the blood supply to the hair follilce and also increases hair growth.\n2) Finasteride-It is androgen receptor blocker that blocks the action of androgen and thereby reduce hair fall and subsequently increases hair growth.But one needs to consult physician before using oral drugs as it can have side effects like decreased sexual drive etc.\n3) Hair transplantation is another procedure that can be used for hair fall.It can give varying results to different people.But the hair that is transplanted is supposed to be permanent.

The answer by Abishek above is accurate. \n\nMy answer is just an opinion, no offense meant. \n\nTake it down low, man. Just shave your head, you'll be surprised how many women enjoy the freshly shaved head, and you'll save yourself a ton of money. Nobody is fooled by the hair plugs. \n\nMale pattern baldness has been considered a sign of virility in some cultures. This has some scientific validity, since it is caused by DHT (Dihydroxy testosterone), which actually binds more tightly to testosterone receptors than testosterone.\n\nNot convinced? Think Bruce Willis before and after he decided to shave his head...just something to think about, before you start spending alot of money on hair.\n\nDon't take any of that too seriously.

Can be achieved artificially by techniques such as dialysis and (in a very limited number of cases) chelation therapy.\n\nOther less mainstream methods for eliminating toxic substances from the body include the modification of the diet and addition of certain herbs and rituals such as colonic irrigation, juice fasting and sweat lodges. All these methods claim to assist the body's natural detoxification process.\n\nA detox diet is a dietary regimen involving a change in consumption habits in an attempt to detoxify the body by removal of toxins or other contaminants. It is claimed to improve health, energy, resistance to disease, mental state, digestion, as well as aiding in weight loss.\n\nVarious methods of modifying the diet for the said purpose of detoxification include:\n\nFasting, including water fasting and juice fasting. \nIncreased consumption of fish such as salmon \nFood combining. \nCaloric restriction. \nHerbal detox (if one considers herbs food and not a form of drug). \n\nDetox diets usually suggest that fruits and vegetables compose a majority of one's food intake. Limiting this to unprocessed (and sometimes also non-GM) foods is often advocated. Limiting or eliminating alcohol is also a major factor, and drinking more water (which helps curb appetite) is similarly recommended.

I would suggest a multi-vitamin that has been designed specifically for men.  But make sure that the multi-vitamin has a high concentration of Omega 3 as an ingredient.  Or alternatively, take a fish oil capsule in addition to your multi-vitamin.  Fish oil and in particularly omega 3 rich fish oil have a proven track record in promoting health in the brain, nervous system and more importantly in your case the skin.  I used to have a bad acne problem when I was young and I can tell you, I tried everything.  But this was the only thing that really worked.  I also suggest the try adding deep sea fish as a regular staple in your diet also.  Good luck.\n\nPete (yaxman)

First and foremost why do you want to increase your testosterone levels? is it to become more muscular? or are you clinically deficient?\n\nI am just completing a phd on the effect of diet and exercise on testosterone levels so am well versed in this area. Testosterone is primarily synythesised in the leydig cells of the testes and as men age the production slows. it is not soley responsible for balding in men. What causes the balding is the increased converison of testosterone to DHT which targets the hair follicles. \n\nOne possible way of incresing testosterone is by doing some weight training. I am guessing you probably already do this as part of your regime. If not a moderate to high intensity weights programme has been shown to increase testosterone levels post exercise. Dietary methods of increasing your testosterone still needs research done. However there is limited research linking a high fat low fibre diet to increased testosterone production. This however is not reccomended as the health risks associated with a high fat diet such as CHD far outweigh any beneficial effects of increased testosterone production.\nWeeman

I have heard that it does. But you might want to check out these websites first.\nhttp://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip214.htm\nhttp://www.man-health-magazine-online.com/hair-growth-vitamins.html\n\n\nVitamin E is a powerful anti-oxidant that helps increase circulation. Vitamin E increases oxygen uptake, which improves circulation to the scalp. It improves overall health. Since hair health is tied to the immune system, vitamin E is believed to stimulate hair growth by enhancing the immune function. \nhttp://www.treasuredlocks.com/hair-growth-vitamin-black-men.html

results are suppsosed to appear after 3 months of daily intake. It does work, but results are modest, not massive, though its the only scientific "cure" for baldness. The earlier you start, the better..

Normal Hair Loss\nThere are a number of reasons why men start to go bald, but if you are a man between the ages of about 20 to 45 and you start to lose scalp hair, then the chances are 95 per cent certain that you are experiencing male pattern baldness. As the term suggests, male pattern baldness follows a typical sequence or pattern. \n\nSponsored Links\nHair Loss Chart\nRanking of the top hair loss products for 2006!\nwww.Hair-Loss-Report.com\n\nTips for Fixing Hair Loss\nSee how I did it. 92% success. Before/After pics. Men/women.\nRestorationHair.com\n\nHair Loss Product Reviews\nRanking and reviews of the top 4 hair loss treatments available!\nwww.Hair-Loss-Study.com\nHair loss can start in different areas but is usually at the temples and/or on the crown of the head. Initial thinning of hair progresses over a number of years and may lead to total baldness but more typically loss of hair over the top surface of the head.\nThe Cause of Male Pattern Baldness\nMost men are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. It is the effect of hormones on the hair follicle that produces male pattern baldness. Testosterone, a hormone that is present in high levels in males after puberty, is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT has an adverse affect on the hair follicles. Acting on a hormone receptor on the hair follicle it slows down hair production and produces weak, shorter hair, sometimes it stops hair growth from the follicle completely. This process gradually depletes your stock of hair and is normal hair loss.\n\nHair loss, Illness or Disease\nGo to your doctor if:\nYou lose hair suddenly, if your hair loss is in clumps or significant enough that you notice large amounts on your pillow, covering the back of your clothes or when you wash your hair. This type of hair loss does not represent typical male baldness, but it does require a diagnosis. Don't worry

Ha, that's a good one.  Do some searches on ogoplex, roplex, and viacil supplements.  There's a combination of saw palmetto and other herbs that actually can work very well...maybe not quite Peter North well but it makes a difference.  Also - testosterone boosting supplements help as well.  Vitrix is one of the high quality/potency tribulus tablets that is used for promoting muscle growth.  It works by tricking your body into creating more testosterone.  I think you can see the correlation here.  I have a few friends in their 50's that are swearing by this combination, as well as adding some L-arginine or nitric oxide supplements.  It worked well enough to get them to give up the viagra, so I'd say it's pretty effective.

I know several men who use this.  They say you must stay on it for life once you begin Rogaine.\n\nI have not noticed that any of them grew more hair.  The product did stop further recessions of the hairline.\n\nMy father-in-law has been on it for more than 12 years...he just turned 70 and his hair line is just the same as it was when I met him 12 years ago.\n\nGood Luck!
