New Health/Hair Website - LongevityPost.com

I am announcing the release of a new hair and health website now available.

Longevitypost.com offers toxic-free, accurate health information beyond mainstream medicine clutter. We focus on writing highly understandable yet deep-enough, science-based health articles.

http://longevitypost.com/

This site will be on a similar trajectory to what "HealthyFixx" used to be, but with an emphasis on Longevity, rather than chronic disease. One of the ironies of health care is that sick people generally get sicker, and healthy people generally become healthier.

Great looking and informative site, CS.  I've been reading it for a while as you know.  The web designer did a great job. Thanks!

CS - while we talk of solutions, I came across an acupuncturist regrowing his hair. In addition to tai chi stuff, he was doing a very low dose of a dht inhibitor (orally).

If you had to recommend one, which one would you recommend and at what low dose?

I'm going to qualify the question...It's more specific to the point to reduce some 5-alpha reductase, or even better to reduce the inflammation causing the elevation --- rather than affecting DHT at all, since all of the reductions beyond that point can affect the natural neurosteroid allopregnanolone, known for its neuroprotective, antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. In addition, cutting off DHT can affect the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in how it regulates adrenal hormones.

Fish/Krill Oil/Astaxanthin/Ecklonia Cava are some examples how to reduce these levels (5-AR and inflammation)

congrats on the new site man. whatever happened with healthyfixx? wasn't there some legal issue with it?

great site.

Yes, exactly there was a legal issue.

"Healthyfixx.com" had to be taken down because the domain name (Healthyfix.com) submitted legal action. Healthyfixx was free, Healthyfix was a commercial site that originated in the early 90's.

Thank you for the comments!

I understand CS, and agree but if you had to pick one drug based DHT inhibitor which one would you pick?

I *need* this information.

Thanks, M

Nice work CS. Looks great. You working with anyone to do some search marketing for the site?

Hey Mastery, you are either going to be looking at Finasteride or Dutasteride. Fin only inhibits type II 5-ar, and does so less potently than Dut. Dut also inhibits the type I 5-ar. Type 1 5-ar isn't as prevalent in the hair follicle itself, but seems to be more prevalent in the associated sebaceous gland, so it probably reduces sebum to a greater extent.

Overall, Dut is more potent and longer-lasting. Its half-life in the body is much, much longer so it'll stay with you for a while after ceasing the medication.

This also means Dut has a greater risk of sexual sides. It also means Dut has a greater risk of hyperandrogenicty symptoms. When you start knocking out DHT, the body will recognize that the levels are low and it responds by kicking out more androgens. So you might find you get the rebound sensitivity to testosterone, which in some people negates some of the effect of the drug.

Overall Fin is safer, but the effects take longer to see. And I hesitate to say *safer*. Both are dangerous as far as I am concerned.

Looking for less potential for sides? Go with Fin. Looking for faster and more potent actoin? Go with Dut.

You're taking big risks with either. CS mentioned one of those risks being throwing off the HPA, probably one of the reasons for a lot of users' persistent sides even after tossing the drug.

If I was going to try a natural route of DHT inhibition, I'd probably be using something like Revivogen. Its guaranteed safer, but will you get the effectiveness of a drug? No.

There are several dozen natural DHT blockers, which ones work the best depends on the user (individual trial and error).
Each one "blocks," or inhibits or naturally reduces (electron wise) or binds to substrate (bile acids/cholesterol in the gut).
Then there's the dose, that's just as important.

I would suggest a Marine oil with a potent plant based antioxidant (as mentioned above).

my life has been seriously completely destroyed by fin and im 25 and have been dealing with this for 5 years. do not take it.

What about 0.5mg once every 3 days dutesteride?

dude, i am 25 years old, and i havent had any libido at all in the past 3 weeks because i didnt eat a strictly ENTIRE paleo diet. i had a boner for the first time yesterday after 3 weeks of nothing (again, im 25) after i finally went to the gym and did HIIT sprints for 30 minutes until i felt like i was going to puke. and i had to go back on extreme paleo after running out of money because i bought a shit load of cannabis oil trying to repair the damage that had been done. and by boner, i mean a half limp dick barely staying up and barely able to get hard in anyway shape or form. i took this shit when i was 19. right now i am working on sourcing a banned FDA substance called androhard just to reactivate all the fucked up enzymes that completely destroyed my DHT production.

for real.. stay away. it's not worth it man.

by the way.. i only took propecia for 30 days when i was 19. fuck that drug. seriously.

Are you looking to take this stuff yourself Mastery?

Nice site, but as AS54 pointed out, for more people to see it, it would need to be more accessible via Google.

I am glad it's not the same representation as with Healthyfixx, and there is plenty completely new content. Good work, CS!

what it is ?

hi mastery did you check out saw palmetto?

Dr. Rudi Moerck recommends it...but is very important to use a High Quality Saw Palmetto

"Dr. Rudi Moerck is a drug industry insider and an expert in chemistry, as it relates to food supplements"

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/07/16/rudi-moerck-on-prostate-health.aspx

Saw palmetto though, I've been there for several years in the early beginning. At best will stimulate the glands, and reduce loss marginally. The quality varies from one dose to another. Saw palmetto is like the horse and buggy of natural hair loss treatments.

The original topic has been derailed entirely.

New article:

Thanks for the article CS, interesting in regards to the food aspect of it.  Just a shame I hate mushrooms lol

You mentioned at the start that some people some cannot take vitamin D supplements or prefer not too, with the people that cannot take them do you mean some people get an adverse effect from the supplement?

I also hate mushrooms

In regards to your question, there are very few people who cannot take vitamin D, such those with primary hyperparathyroidism (who might have an existing tumor that needs to be removed), or Sarcoidosis.

I have found over the years there are people who just prefer to use food when possible instead of supplementation.

CS, which dosage of Krill Oil and Ecklonia Cava do you suggest? Currently I take Krill Oil (with Astaxanthin) 500mg with Omega 150mg, 75mg EPA and DHA 35mg. Perhaps it's too low, but my weight is only about 62kilogramm.

Hi Mento, that amount is probably about right.
