What next? Advice requested...

Hi all,

When I was last an active member of the forum I documented my progress in coming off dutasteride. Although I've been off the drug for 8 months (and have absolutely no intention of restarting it), I'm now struggling with hair loss again.

Essentially I am taking/applying a large number of supps and topicals, as well as finasteride 3 times a week, and am still losing hair. So my question is, where next? Transplant? I feel I am fast running out of options. I am not willing to either increase finasteride dosage, or restart dutasteride. Can anyone suggest other possible ways forward?

My current extensive regimen is as follows:

Shampoo:
Nizoral, Piroctone Olamine alternating days

Topical:
Minox with 'Hair Signals' (copper peptide) in the evening
Minox with 'Hair Muck' (Beta sit etc. mix) daytime
Polysorbate 80 with niacin before shower in the morning

Supps:
Curcumin 500mg,
Resveratrol 100mg,
Fish Oil 2000mg,
Kelp 600iu,
Ginkgo 6000mg (EOD),
Probiotic 3 billion (EOD),
Multivit (EOD),
'Ultra Natural Prostate Formula' (Saw Palmetto, Beta sit etc.) (EOD),
Tocotrienols 50mg EOD,
Soy Isoflavones 45mg (EOD)
Taurine 1000mg (EOD)
Green Tea ECGC 400mg (EOD)

Drugs:
Finasteride (Generic, Dr. Reddys) 1mg (EOD)

Thanks in advance for any input.

Have you tried any iodine or metal chelation?

Hey Chris,

The terms are familiar, but no. Could you give me a brief summary of how I'd do this/these?

ataman - Having a heavy metal detox is critical, especially if you're without success.

Also, would suggest you add Vitamin A, D3 and Ecklonia Cava.

Kelp is probably going to short change you on sufficient iodine.

Make sure your multi contains no iron.

Thank you as always CS.

From what I read, you don't hesistate to spend money for your hairloss!?
If I had the money to spend, I would buy a laserhelmet(600 diodes), a rife machine(f165/SC1A) combo and go on the following regimen:
-Full IH regimen with a few excpetions and changes
-Iodine with co-factors
-calcium and co-factors(except vit. d and zinc)
-high dose b2(300mg, 3xdaily)
-high dose niacin(start with 100mg and add 500mg niacinamide; build up to 3000-4000mg daily,only after mercury is dealt with)
-quality potassium aspartate(AOR)
-cutler protocol for mercury(dmsa+ala)
-chelation of other metals(r-ala, tri-boron, mag malate, l-carosine, vit c, cilantro etc.)
-ip6, natphos, manna....

That's my dream
