RU 58841 RUM-myristate discussion

Topical – Fluridil Updates.
“3.5 months and still going. Im not at a point yet where i can access its efficacy, but i can say that it doesnt cause me any problems other than slight dryness of my hair, and i believe that only became a problem when i started applying it in the morning right after my hair became fully dry out of the shower, and let it sit in all day until the next morning. Otherwise it somehow makes my hair look even better after i apply it. I would say with confidence my hair line has continued to subtly slip back despite its application, but thats pretty expected with any hair loss product.”

Topical / Reference – Liposomes vs traditional delivery mechanisms.
“A liposome has the same basic structure as a cell's membrane(fatty acids). This means that once in touch with a membrane it "melts" with it introducing its content inside the cell. So the medicine is not wasted but gets cleanly inside the cell and thus is a much better approach to just put in the skin surface and hope it will get inside somehow. In addition as it doesn't contain anything that can irritate the skin it has more benefits over alcohol-based products.”

Topical – Alpecin (coffee) testimonials
I have been using Alpecin Shampoo and After Shampoo Liquid for about 2.5 months. I was having a pretty good shed and it stopped it immediately. Without question it has made my vellus hair at the temple/hairline go termial. I have tried everything to make these hairs go terminal and I think this is finally doing the trick. I'm not sure about any regrowth yet because its very difficult to tell if the terminal hairs are coming in are all from the vellus I had or are simply new. I am finally on my way from a NW 2 to a NW 1. This is terrific news!

“It is a cream. The cream has darkened over the last thirty days, so a week ago, I started to store it in the refridgerator. The scent of licorice, once so strong when I first opened the bottle, is now much weaker. The product is soothing to the skin. It disappears into the scalp (or into the hair) within about 45 minutes, although the hair itself looks like it needs shampooing later.”

Topical – Minoxidil opinions.
Minoxidil was and is a high blood pressure medication (in pill form called Loniten). Minoxidil was found to grow hair only after it had been on the market as a high blood pressure medication for many years. Very little of the minox applied TOPICALLY will be absorbed into the bloodstream and it should have little, if any, systemic effects (rapid, irregular heart rate, etc.). Minox does not interfere in any way with DHT. Studies suggest that very little of the topically-applied minoxidil actually penetrates the skin - even less likely is penetration to the point of absorption into the bloodstream.

Topical – Fluridil testimonials.
Right away I noticed a cosmetic improvement in my hair, in that it appears to have some sort of cosmetic hair thickner, probably not unlike any of the commecial products you can buy in any drugstore. I got somehow the same results with Triaxon which I used for years. It made my hair look and feel better, it made it look thicker and healthier, but it did not "grow" hair, and so far the jury is still out on eucapil.

Fluridil Side Effects?
I have been using fluridil for the last 9months with decent results. In the last 2 months i have also been experiencing numbness, muscular twitching in my legs, arms and hands. I was thinking it is probably some neurological disease starting but the neurologist said its a neuropathy from something but does not know from what. Is there any chance fluridil could be causing this?

Topical – Minoxidil results leveling off.
After about 10 years of using Minoxidil, I dont seem to be getting any return or even vellus coverage on the 2% during the day and 5% during the night. When I first starting using it I got a good return - enough to cover a bald spot! But no more. Has anyone else experienced this? - and if so, are there any alternatives with a different kind of topical that one of you gentlemen may have had success with?

“Nanoadeno comes in a small brown glass bottle, about the size of a minoxidil bottle, containing 50 grams, which will last fifty days. It cost about seventy dollars, including shipping. The contents are a thick liquid, almost a cream, the color of Ivory dishwashing liquid. The directions say you apply it when your hair is wet. Also they make clear that this is a cosmetic product, not a drug intended to treat or cure any disease.”

Topical – Fluridil results.
“When fluridil breaks down in the body if it enters the blood stream. It breaks down into trifluoroacetic acid and b34. The first one is a hazadous substance, and I don’t know what b34 is. I have used fluridil for about 8 months with good results. But after getting gyno from propecia after 6 years of use and having to have surgery to remove it. I think I will have to stop using fluridil. Dont know if it can give you gyno but don’t want to take that chance.”

Topical – Fluridil testimonials
I have used Eucapil (Fluridil) for 9 months now (3 times a supply of 3 boxes) and my conclusions thus far are:
- Halting of further loss
- Improving and thickening up of existing hair
- Filling up of the crown area that has started thinning a bit
- Growth of short hairs at the hairline, they are getting longer and longer (which indicates that further loss has stopped)
- Growth of many vellus hair at the temple region
- No irritation at all

“Hedgehog is one of many cell-signaling pathways that scientists are scrutinizing. And Curis hopes it will work wonders on thinning pates of both males and females. When you see a lustrous head of hair, chances are it's at least partly due to healthy Hedgehog signaling, which prompts the body's multitalented stem cells to proliferate around follicles, initiating hair growth. By activating Hedgehog, Curis' drug targets hair growth at its root, so to speak.”

"g" and many others in the HM forum (#57) sparked interests in Dr. Holick's research on PTH / PTHrP. Some suggested the possibility that PTHrP may be a physiological hair follicle growth control factor responsible for the regulation of the hair cycle. It has been shown that PTHrP antagonist stimulated telogen hair follicles to enter into anagen and furthermore delayed the progression of the hair follicles from anagen into catagen and telogen.  If PTHrP is such a modulator, antagonizing PTHrP's action on the hair follicle might be a useful strategy for stimulating and maintaining hair growth. Summary now available.
