Which do you think, if either, would provide most benefit as a stand-alone treatment: minoxidil vs. castor oil (topical and oral)?
You can't pick one or the other they are completely different things. Some people also don't react to minox.

inhouse requires a prescription for the US now. Any other ideas on where to get sulfa?
Try the .vu domain. If it asks for a prescription just pick "I'll fax it" and don't send it. Seems to work from what I hear from people who got asked that.
Instead of sunburning the scalp why don't you use high power UV laser comb?
Because the sunburn itself creates the increased PGE2 expression, not the UVB. And lasers don't work.

Hi Swiss, I got the "Awaiting Approval" html page when I try to enter PHG, and it seems to be a common problem for new users. Is there some problem with the registration?
If you got invited and registered you should be activated pretty soon
Hey Swiss, whats your take on detumescence therapy and opinions that hair loss is caused by calcification of the scalp? Is there some relation? thx
People have tried scalp massages since the 80's. That's 35 years and I have yet to see someone regrow his hair from it. It also does absolutely nothing in theory, at best you get a few growth factors from the microtrauma but that's not enough to grow anything. Calcification is just as old as scalp massages and just as wrong. People with plenty of Vit D3 and K2 still lose their hair.
Funny enough there are several assholes who claim that it works. And happy to sell you an ebook at 30$ a pop. Here try this one for example, keep looking at his temples, nothing actually changed. He does most of the "after" shots from above with hair grown out and combed to the front. http://jdmoyer.com/2015/04/13/hair/

Will the facial hair growth go away if I stop oral castor oil?
You mean the increased facial hair growth? Yes it will.
PGE2 is superior to PGF2a (bimatoprost) right? then shouldn't be PGE2 have been tested instead of bimatorprost to treat MPB? Or are/were there any research using PGE2 with this aim?
It was tested but just like the bimatoprost studies by Allergan the results were poor. If you don't release that PGD2 lock as well you're pretty much doomed. No full regrowth will take place, at best you'll end up with some vellus. Hence the 4 different angles in my approach.
Hello, congratulations for your discovers and your efforts. If this will work for all of us, you will be my hero forever. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something, I am not trying to make things harder but in the last answer you said that we could use Cloprostenol. I've been reading that side effects a
Maybe you want to resubmit that question fully. The end cut off.
Would taking pge2 orally have any effect?
No that would not work. It has to be topical.
http://drs-labs.com/lipid-compounds/26-buy-pgf2a-llutalyse-dinoprost.html Could I apply this straight to my hair line , also how much should I use? Thanks swiss
Yes you could. Good find by the way. Not very expensive either. But if you want to use pgf2a I suggest you use Cloprostenol. It's the strongest and longest lasting pgf2a agonist (in fact it's a super agonist). It's also relatively cheap. The only problem is that cloprostenol is sold as veterinary medicine and prescription only. So you will have to be a bit clever about getting your hands on some. You can find some of the brand names here: http://www.drugs.com/international/cloprostenol.html
Some bodybuilding sites (just like that one you linked) sell it as "PGCL". Maybe you will find something this way. Probably easier than to get your hands on prescription vet medicine.

I have castor oil that is cold pressed AND cold processed...I see that you recommend unprocessed. Think I should just use this stuff, or is it really worth buying more to get the unprocessed? Thanks bro.
It's fine just use that one

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22358089/ Swiss does this mean citalopram increases pge2?
Figure six shows that the highest pge2 levels were in the control group though. So it looks like citalopram merely reversed the pge2 inhibition from the indomethacine they used.
I supplement curcumin for overall health but since you always mention cox inhibitors are bad should i better stop it?
I don't know exactly how long and how strongly curcumin inhibits cox. This study for example doesn't relly know either: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17569213
It would be better to drop it just to make sure. If you plan to use exogenous PGE2 you should be fine.

Do you think Primrose/GLA oil topically would work?
No castor oil is the only one containing an active "drug". Ricinoleic acid activates PGE2 partially. No other oil can do that. Primrose/GLA are precursors that can be used by the body but they do not have a real activity to speak of.
If you only use valproic acid is still necessary to wound? should it be applied after wounding too?
Yes. No after wounding you need to use LiCL as it has specific properties that VPA does not. Such as its WNT activation.
So would sucralfate work orally?
I'm kinda doubting it at that dosage.
Can I mix Miconazol (liquid) with stemox and apply it every morning? If yes, in wich concentration?
In theory yes. But your minox and your mico both probably have a lot of added stuff in both. I'm not sure all those different substances are going to like each other. Maybe do a test batch with a minimal amount.
Hi, maybe onion essential oil is strong enough to help with PGD2/PGE2?Could we use selenium as supplement and not as shampoo?Finally, an interesting study for those that use cetritizine or cox inhibitors.Use it 2-3 days after wounding as PGD2 production is raised then. http://goo.gl/laupfR
Onions were mentioned before: http://ask.fm/swisstemples/answer/133479813228
I read that study, not sure essential oil is enough given that the study used several kilos and then further refined the product to end up with a minute amount of prostaglandins.
I don't know about selenium systemically, I never really looked into it. Maybe you want to put some time in, I'll have a look if you find something.
Good find, I would still stick to Seti thought and block pgd2 directly.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/019096229070242A what is this? is it PGE2?
Not really. It's a heavily modified pge2 molecule, so much so that it doesn't have the original characteristics anymore. It's an old experimental antihypertensive drug.
Have you ever researched the effects of ejaculation and masturbation on hairloss? The role the prostate plays in DHT creation, DHT roles in the prostate and the effects of propecia has on the prostate. Also why don’t you add Nofap to your regime and see? You have nothing to lose at all.
The chain of stress hormones released after ejaculation is kinda shit and I can do without that lethargy, so personally except for sex I abstain. That's up to everyone to decide on their own though. But as for hair, there's no effect from ejaculation.
You haven't answered in two days? Is everything allright? ty, keep up

So here is an idea, we know ibuprofen is cox inhibitor, and it stops both PGE2 and PGD2 by inhibiting production of PGH2, so why not use it topically while adding exogenous PGE2?
I did talk about this before. Could work in theory but personally I would rather target the exact problem and keep the beneficial prostaglandins. The less unknown factors the better.
How do you verify on GB if Seti is pure?
It gets tested by a third party lab. Absolutely crucial to make sure there's no contamination (heavy metals). This is why ordering from people like Kane is such a gamble. The guy makes money on cutting corners. Testing every single batch gets expensive. You know the rest.
So buzzed for your next picture update! Hopefully it's starting to get dense AF in those temples haha. Do you think we could get a pic of the whole hairline? Thanks again Swiss.
I don't really have hairline recession so that doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm also switching jobs right now so I'll have to see how much time I have. Most likely you'll just get the same old temple pic.
Is oral DHEA supplementations bad for AGA? I means in terms of more Estrogen and possbily DHT conversion.
DHEA itself is androgenic, albeit weak. Women who are given DHEA can have anabolic effects from it. It can (and does) increase libido too. I'd avoid it. You never know what it ultimately turns into anyway.
