Detumescence Therapy- dedicated volunteers wanted

On my temples I would get peeling off and on for a few months depending how hard I worked them but that hasn't happened in a long while.  On the very front of my hairline (widows peak) I am still peeling sometimes but less and less.  this area of my scalp has felt "dead" for a pretty long time and was something I was aware of slowly happening.  It was just kind of slowly thickening and numbing out.  When I first started manual methods this area of my scalp and my left temple were nearly impossible to get properly flushed with blood.  Now it takes very little to get it pink/flowing.  this area has had "thicker" peeling of skin where sometimes it would almost be like a scab in texture.  Quite thick and almost yellow in colour.  As the are has improved and feeling returned the peeling has become more normal and less frequent but it still happens from time to time.  I believe this was calcification/keratinization.

As for overall hair shedding?  I recently started taking the supplements in the that "supposed regrowth protocol" thread and I it seems to have stopped my shedding dead in it's tracks.   I also started it a few weeks after I got more serious with the DT therapy though so it's hard to say which is the main factor in the shedding's cessation.  I feel the supplements are key there myself.  Mainly because since I started the regimen my stress is WAY down and I am sleeping much better.  I am also gaining weight more easily (muscle) which has always been an issue for me.

Hope that helps.

Duketronix thank you for your response ! That's very good news for you ! I think I'm also going to go for that full protocol (I'm already taking some of that stuff). However, I'd like to know if someone on this thread stopped his shedding and started regrowing only with DT.
Because having regrowth on specific areas (e.g. temples) is awesome but if you're still shedding, that's not a good point

I'm bored to the back teeth of the subject.

Listen rofl , when times passes and in 6 months to 1 year there will be extraodinary results of full regrowth
you will feel like a dumb that you didnt follow the protocol back then.

And i will save this comment for you here when the time will come
and post it.

Regrowth is slow and steady for quite a while now and it's easy to get lax for me since it's so different then when It was slowly thinning and receding instead.  I'll have days where I'll feel like I'm totally in the clear (and by a lot of people's standards I probably am now) but I want to fill my temples in and continue to thicken up.  Mostly as a challenge and to prove that this stuff works after spending so long over the years battling hair loss.  I just want to kick it's ass as hard as I can.

To all you young guys, you're lucky to get on this forum so young and be learning good stuff.  I took fin/minox for years (with some decent results)  and was receding a fair bit at your age too, but now am gaining back beyond the hair of my early twenties and am 30 years old now.

Besides the hair benefits I've learned so much about taking care of myself it is insane.  This has really helped me with a lot of other areas in life through reduced stress and inflammation.  I used to get tendonitis from playing musical instruments.  Hasn't come up in about 5 years since I learned how to take care of my body.  

Just be dedicated and keep plugging away and you'll get there.

35?? Fuck you guys. I'm 23 and this shit is happening to me. You're all lucky you got that far.

As unbelievable as it is, MPB is the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm ripped and in the best shape of my life. Stress has dramatically reduced and I have a lot of self-confidence (besides my hair, of course). I hope I can be one of the people who leave this forum for good by kicking this thing's ass.

I started this method 3 weeks ago but only started working it hard one week ago. I was on finasteride for 6 months we barely no results so I dropped it when I discovered this forum.
At the beginning I discovered that my scalp was sooo tight and painful on the crown and temples. Now it is much more loose and I feel that my shedding reduces little by little. But I'm also fixing problems internally.
I just feel that I have a problem with my scalp as it has always been very greasy, lot of sebum but no dandruff. ACV and DT are working on it but I feel that those bumps I regularly have while doing DT are a sign that I need to fix this sebum production in my scalp.
Does anyone here know about it ? I heard that a vitamin was helping with that, E or A ? Don't remember..
According to my last blood works (3 weeks ago approx.) I'm vitamin A defficient

like i said, its risk vs benefit, the risk of missing out of early treatment time, when working treatment is found vs the benefit of not getting sucked into every non working treatment that someone says doesnt work.

i know theres a possibility it will work well, and ill miss out.  going on the last 10 yrs experience that i have, i have my doubts.  dont get abusive towards me because im skeptical.  grow up a little bit.  go back to primary school if u want to abuse me, im here for the science.  u do remember wat science is dont u ?  In medical science we respect each other and work together.  we dont call each other names like a child.  Maybe u should learn a thing or two about science, and how it is conducted.  or just sit on ur side of the fence calling me names, and crying when u dont get ur own way.

for the love of god, grow up.
