Synopsis

The Current View of Pattern Hair Loss is Incoherent While it is often stated with great confidence that pattern baldness is the result of defective genes and "male" androgenic hormones (e.g., dihydrotestosterone or DHT), the theory is physiologically unsound. In fact, after 60 years of research the "genetic-androgen" doctrine has produced a single FDA-approved "therapy" that works less than 50% the time and can result in permanent chemical castration (Minoxidil is a nonstarter for many men and women). The Future Isn't Bright Because The Theory is Wrong While resources for those interested in pattern baldness are few and far between, Ralph M. Trueb and Desmond Tobin’s 2010 book, Aging Hair, provides, in my opinion, a relevant counter point to the ideas presented in this book. However, the future doesn’t appear to be bright, as the two state: "Mainly because the pathogenesis mechanisms of androgenic alopecia are not fully understood, the treatments available are limited and vary in effectiveness..." - Aging Hair (2010) Reevaluating The Foundations of Pattern Hair Loss In contrast, castrates and pseudohermaphrodites--who serve as the foundation for all baldness research--are protected from baldness 100% of the time. What gives? Standing on the shoulders of giants (e.g., Otto Warburg, Albert Szent-Györgyi, Gilbert Ling, Ray Peat and others), HAIR LIKE A FOX sets up an alternative 'bioenergetic model' of pattern hair loss with a focus on the smallest unit of life, the cell. This same context elucidates simple yet effective therapies for halting and perhaps reversing pattern hair loss in a way that harmonizes with our unique physiology.

À propos de l?auteur

Several years ago I played bass in a major label rock band that was touring the world. You would have thought I was having the time of my life. Unfortunately, I was losing my hair in parallel with the bands success. To me, my hair loss was equivalent to the end of the world; I honestly did not want to live in a future without my hair. Yeah, the pressure on the band was that intense. As the band gained popularity, my anxiety increased, and I knew I had to be proactive before it was too late. I started bouncing from physician to physician searching for detailed answers to my problems. Out of the 10 or so naturopathic, orthomolecular, and anti-aging doctors I met with, 10 of them prescribed boatloads of pills and hormones that made me feel worse. It was not long before I realized that no one was going to fix my health for me. Years later, through vigorous research and an open mind, I have stopped my hair loss, resolved my anxiety and become the bull (libido is great). Make sure to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. Trust no one, including me. Please do not confuse me for a guru or an expert.
