As far as I know I'm supposed to receive mine via UPS ground.

That stuff is apparently hard to come by. Not to mention for bulkactives prices. There is a 10 gram vial from Arizona ($6 S&H) for $11 here. Otherwise nothing.

This all seems pretty novel. Interested to see how this turns out and am going to order some powder as well. Wondering about using DMI as a carrier. Is it safe and does it just reduce the topical from going into the bloodstream or actually not allow it?

danmrtini - This stuff shouldn't require any help, it is quite absorbent through the skin.

Sorry I lost track, the papaya or the other stuff?

Hey all - I'm thinking of doing a split test - hopefully the Papain will only act within the radius I apply it, or not too far out - I wonder what effect it will have on my extended vellus hairs?

cpio - That was only for the Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, not the papain.

Huli... you got any updates mate?

huli · huli on Thu Oct 29, 2009 11:52 pm

nope, just continuing cautiously with the topical and hoping for the best.

If the theory is correct that calcium deposits in the scalp play a significant role in MPB, then some results might be possible just using Apple cider vinegar. ACV is very capable of dissolving calcium, you can put an egg into a glass of pure acv and the shell will dissolve after awhile, actually I dont know if that is true, but I am going to try it.

Cpio,

I've soaked my head in ACV before and beside the fact that it smells like shit; I've also observed that when I don't have a regular regimen with topicals, that the inconsistency in PH and/or scalp dryness from day to day does more damage than good. I liked azelaic acid when I used it because I applied it everyday and my scalp was able to tolerate it without excessive drying, itching, shedding. Now I am on the papain/HA in grape seed oil every few days, I still have that feeling that the scalp/hair is being thrown in all kinds of directions. I wonder if it would work to just use a very tiny amount of papain everyday so that it produced the desired results, and didn't cause unwanted sides? Somehow I doubt it.

CS, how much magnesium ascorbyl phosphate should i add to 8 oz of shampoo??? (i have already added lithium and dmso to it ). Oh and my package of mag and polysorbate 80 from bulkactives was also shipped from Taiwan.

I think bulkactives is run out of taiwan. All their ingredients ship from there.

any updates from the papain users?

slowbutspeeding - I've been so busy lately, I haven't even used my Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate yet. That said, I haven't yet thought of how I will apply it.

jdp710, have you used yours yet?
