a simple theory of hair loss

Some time ago I chatted with a guy who is doing a phd in evolutionary theory. According to him, there are
no such thing as a gene for this and a gene for that, genes alway comes in groups. And 99% of these groups
are open-ended. They are not means of determination but rather of probability depending on how they are
stimulated. There are no such thing as an MPB gene. There are interconnected groups of genes that can
express as MPB, heart disease, prostate cancer and other nasty stuff. The big lie about MPB that was sold
the public (in order to sell drugs) was the existence of an MPB gene for hypersensitive or allergic follicles to DHT. DHT is a minor player in MPB.

The big culprit is our diet. A poor diet (what is today considered a normal diet) activates gene groups and causes MPB.

A very simple experiment to observe: Stop eating junk/processed/civilised food and instead eat 100% low on the food chain, and MPB will vanish.

yeah, i'm kind of agree with ya.

Except that your phd mate should not be bald or thinning. It's always a nic habit to make simple theory like that. Plus, no need to do research !

And what about the hairtransplant that work ? as we've heard.

But once more, i want to believe in this. Anyway, i eat 100% low chain food and have a very strict diet.
So all i have to do is drop all IH's supplements which contains bullshit in the gels. Omega 3 gels are perhaps bad because you don't eat the fish too.
ALA is perhaps bad, you'll have to found it in food.
Bio curcumin : try the real stuff.
biotin gel. in the toilets.

One day, i'll do that. Because it seems that it doesn't work either.

Ans i've always know that i must get out the big cities....too much pollution.

At which level do you think pollution can trigger hairloss ? i mean breathing pollluted air, cars...and other shit you breath from your neighborhood....

So, a reaction that you must do UNTIL WE LIVE ON AN PEACFULL, POLLUTION FREE ISLAND, is to protect our body from this pollution....

with specific foods, herbs, roots.....beyond the necesssity of eating...

what about the one living in tokyo, london, le caire or sao paulo....

europe, pollution is undoubtly a huge problem, hopefully we get electric cars soon, they are long overdue .. I think that research into alternative fuels and fuelcell technology has probably been stalled by oil companies (major power). Antioxidants defend the body against pollution. So dude, tell me, what do you eat on a typical week on a high percentage -low on the food chain- diet? I have seen like dramatic change the last 3 weeks since I totally cleared up my diet. Hair growing in thick all over my scalp. I broke withmy diet during easter since I was in a cabin with some other people and I ate what they ate .. sure nuff, after two days I wake up with itching scalp and dry hair. Hoping to recover 100% soon.

cpio - Here's a great study that I've mentioned a few times, but it's worth another look.

The astonishing difference in acne incidence rates between nonwesternized and fully modernized societies cannot be solely attributed to genetic differences among populations but likely results from differing environmental factors. Identification of these factors may be useful in the treatment of acne in Western populations.

In the study above, these islanders do not eat any refined starches, grains or sugars whatsoever, and as a result a 0% rate of acne.

at the end of the studyn ther's a or about hyperinsulin, IGF1 etc....

But, their diet include 70% of carbohydrate....from tubers, fruits, beggies etc...but 70% carbohydrates...

Could you explain in front of your "no carbs" theory IH ?
I know that you don't prone no carbs, but non processed, non refined carbs...

So by the way, do you advice to take whole wheat, quinoa, or green lens, oatmeal in a reasonnable amount during the week ?

I mean, carbs is essentiel no ? good carbs i mean.

I've always been confused to that insulin theory ( taking ALA etc... , no carbs, high protein) , and the necessity of taking carbs...just like these people on this study,70 % carbs...

europe, in my view the amount of carbs does not matter very much as long as you eat the right kind.

Many of the healthy carb foods has insoluble fibers in them that will balance blood sugar.

Quinoa is great, I eat t every evening these days, mixed with black lenses (what is it called?) .. simmer them
together for 15 mins add seasalt, and some slow fried celery root slices. Some parsley, maybe a couple of sardins or eggs and there is a good meal.

this is for me the manual of carbs consumption. note that ori tries to respond to no carbs diet (atkins, anabolic diet, greg ellis meat only diet) - he works with athletes - which is a good sign for me - he also argues it's weird when a fat bald (sorry guys) nutrition specialist argues against his principles (nighteating, carbs cycling, undereating, etc)
