Is caffeine bad for your scalp/hair?
As a cox inhibitor it will lower your good Prostaglandins.

When you advised someone of pricing for group buy and stated that after that year you would go back to maintenance. What do you think your maintenance regimen will comprise? Ideally the least ongoing hassle possible amiright!?
Correct. Most likely Dutasteride. Maybe switch to Seti.
You said Dutasteride maintained your hair...so Finasteride did not do that? Did you see far less daily shedding when on Dutasteride compared to when on Finasteride? Did you see less body hair and less beard growth when on Dutasteride? What dose did you take? Thanks.
Oh no, Finasteride worked just fine to maintain. But I was hoping to regrow my temples on Dut which I definitely did not lol. Shedding was the same, close to none. Slightly less bodyhair. Usually I took 0.5mg

Hi Swiss, I've found a page called follacure.com that contains good info (probably you knew it already). I wanted to ask you what do you think about this two for PGD2 inhibition: http://www.follacure.com/t/sucralfate & http://www.follacure.com/t/Luteolin - thank you for all this!
Luteolin is a cox inhibitor which is not what we want. Sucralfate could be a seti alternative. If it really is a gpr44 receptor blocker as that page claims. Have you looked into half life and price?
Hi Swiss! What type of castor oil would be preferable? Cold pressed, but any specified brand? Thank you for all your devoted work! //Badhairday
Cold pressed and unrefined. Brand doesn't matter.
Why were you so late on getting Seti?
Because one loser purposefully sabotaged our groupbuy. Read more on that here: http://ask.fm/swisstemples/answer/133377102444
Is your hair keep growing? when do you shows us another pic? ty, keep up man
Yeah still growing. I make pics about every two weeks or so.
What do you mean Castor oil is fake PGE2 lmao
In Biology you have Receptors and Agonists.
Receptors are the wall sockets and Agonists are the plugs. Combined they "activate" and cause a biological reaction to happen in your body. The PGE2 receptor has four subtypes, so imagine a wallsocket with 4 different shaped holes. The PGE2 Agonist (plug) has four prongs that fit perfectly into all those four holes in the PGE2 receptor, that's why it activates it fully (four of four). Still with me? Good.
Now ricinoleic acid is a so called mimetic. It has the correctly shaped plug to fit into *ONE* of the subtypes of the PGE2 recptor but not the others. So while you are not getting full PGE2 activation you can still simulate at least one of the four with it.
This is why castor oil is "fake" PGE2.

Hello Swiss ! First of all, amazing results and researches, thanks for all ! I was wondering, you are on Dutasteride right ? Don't you think there would be a possibility that you triggered its efficacity thanks to your regimen, implying that the regimen by its own would not work?
Yes have been on Dut for 3 years, hasn't grown anything in the temples.
No absolutely not. PGD2 is downstream from DHT, you can inhibit DHT with Dut but Dut won't inhibit PGD2. Even with zero DHT you will still have PGD2 in your scalp which keeps you from regrowing hair.
Do you understand what I mean? Here's a diagram. http://i.imgur.com/ujqSDHS.png

(No need to publish/answer this one) A lot of people are waiting for your protocol post. Not telling you to hurry up at all, take your time... just showing excitement :)
Yeah I know but as I said it doesn't look like I will have a lot of time to work on the blog except for the weekends right now. Pretty busy with my job and some other real life stuff.
What do you think of using pge2 and topical aspirin?
It's risky. You will terminate your beneficial prostaglandins with aspirin as well since it's a cox inhibitor. If you add exogenous pge2 you should in theory make up for that yes. But it really makes a lot more sense to just take care of PGD2 than to take that risk.
Your progress pics have been removed on your blog?
I can still see them. Must be a problem on your end.
thank u for this Q&A. What's the rationale for using Seti orally and topically? If you're dealing with quite diffuse loss, would you have to needle/burn the entire scalp, it wouldn't seem practical... It's probably not relevant to you, but is there a practical alternative? Seti+pure PGE2 good?
Seti topically makes a lot more sense since it blocks the gpr44 receptor. If you apply it directly to the skin you get the maximum exposure. Seti orally is a bit of a gamble, 50% of it gets excreted and we don't know the effective dose at which it will be used orally. So I just take a few miligrams orally as well. After all Fin only needs 1mg so if we're lucky and it's in a similar range it will be beneficial.
There's a few diffuse thinners on PHG and they needle their scalp without any problems. Don't think any of them use sunburns though. I think needling is absolutely needed, sunburns not so much, they're a nice addition. Seti and PGE2 are not an alternative, they are the other parts of the protocol.

Can you help us Swiss. I have now purchased the derma device you have been using. I am trying to follow protocol, but can't buy set nor pge2. I can't message on any forum and need some help. Any ideas how or where we should turn to?
I can give you a forum invite if you want to join the groupbuy. Otherwise you will have to use some of the alternative stuff suggested on the blog or on here.
Hello Swiss, What would it be the perfect treatment in one or two years ? Bimatoprost + Seti + 0.5 mg of fina ? Thanks.
No that's not a good treatment at all lol. Just stay tuned and wait, I should have some time this weekend to write out a bit more on the blog.
How much does it cost, on average, seti for 1 month, considering you buy it on a GB on PHG. TY
I answered cost of a year ratio in an earlier question. Divide it by 12 and you got your answer.
Will castor oil regrow or thicken hair?
No it will give you cancer and your dick will fall off. Dude did you even read my blog.

So it isnt´t clever to take minox and castor oil at the same time?
The ricinoleic acid in castor only mimicks PGE2, it isn't real PGE2. So you can mix the two if you want to.
Hi Swiss, thank you so much. If this works we all will be in great debt with you. I'm a medicine student suffering from a very aggressive and premature MPB. I've been since I was 17 fighting this disease and it has been very traumatic. Aside of donating, is there anything we can do to repay you?
Yes you can help me find low cost and easily accessible replacements for PGE2 and Seti. That's the bottleneck currently. A few guys have already suggested things to use in place of PGE2 but GPR44 blocking seems to be harder.

Hi Swiss! Maybe you have already mentioned this before in a different thread, if so I'm sorry for asking again. Can you also make a step by step list on how to mix seti? What kind of vehicle do use? what are the proportions of mixing and how much mg do you use for each usage? Thanks in advance
Yes I will. But for now I'm still experimenting with different vehicles so I can't suggest you one when I haven't found the best yet. Yes I will mention all of that too.
Is dermarolling with a 1.5mm needle optimal or should I go and get a 2.5mm? Also how long do you spend derma rolling? The skin normally starts to bleed and turn bright red when I stop.
1.5mm is what almost all of the studies are based upon so I tend to use that. I've used 2.5mm in the past but it hurts more. I needle until the entire area is a light purple, that's usually a few minutes after it starts bleeding.
Ofcourse you could never predict it, but do you think full temple regrowth is possible in theory?
Absolutely
Hey Swiss. Can you include your followers in on the PGE2 and Seti group buys? I have reached out a few times to those on HLT and BTT, but receive no reply. I have also tried to show those guys what you are doing on here and it gets deleted everytime. Just crazy how much goes on behind the scenes
I can get you an invite yeah. swisstemples@gmail.com
Yes everyone gets banned on public forums. It's been like that for a while and it only gets worse lately. They don't give one shit about anything except their own profit.

Is Salicylic acid any good for hair growth?
No it's a cox inihibitor. Should be avoided if you want to increase beneficial prostaglandins.
You should use Coal tar shampoo on your temples when you sunburn, coal tar makes the skin sensitive to UV rays, making absorption so much better :)
Sulfasalazine does too. In fact you probably want to read this.
