IH/Guys need advice

IH/Guys. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season. Here is my updated situation. I am now BACK on the so called "old" methods of hairloss treatments - Beta Sitostersol, Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, Nettles and some vitamin and minerals. This combined with Seabuckthorn soap (my topical) has been doing very, very well for me. Been on it for about 1 1/2 months now and it seems to have stopped my hairloss. Or so it seems. Time will tell. I really didn't respond to IH's top six although there is a lot of research behind it. Now my question is, with what I'm taking now what should I add to achieve some type of regrowth? IH, which of your top 6 is for regrowth? So far I'm hanging on to what I got. Thank God!! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

3.5

How long did you try the top six and what does your diet look like?

In my experience, a regimen that focused almost entirely on blocking DHT would, at best, temporarily stop my hair loss; at worst, it may cause side effects similar to that of Propecia: low libido, loss of short-term memory, etc.

If you have not read about the effects of curcumin and resveratrol on hair loss, I recommend that you do.

If it works for you that is great. I think nettle root would go well along with the rest of your regime.

norwood3.5 - I wouldn't have much faith in the older methods, because they only focus on the symptom and are not as effective.

However, there are some other things to consider so here is what comes to mind. Find out if any of these items raises any alarm.

Check into heavy metals - Too much lead for example is a ever constant flow of free-radicals.

Check into diet. A good example of this is what happened to me last night. I ate a bunch of cookies last night; not something I would normally do. This morning I woke up with inflammation. This stopped about a half-hour after I consumed the supplements. In retrospect, I had this inflammation for at least several hours into the night, so it was remainder how powerful some foods can be. Some foods present hidden allergies such as wheat or gluten, they may not cause any harm, but may instigate silent inflammation.

Check into mineral and/or vitamins. Certain ones can make a big difference.

Check into thyroid/adrenal health. This is a hidden factor since conventional tests are often useless, yet could be the underlying factor behind hair loss for many of us. Low thyroid equals higher homocysteine, and higher oxidation.
