Will you remember us when you're rich and famous...if not already? :)

If you're on PHG definitely almost everyone there I already consider a friend. But since I don't see your name, probably not? Don't really want to be famous, and I'm satisfied with the money from my day job lol.

Is their a DIY solution that one can make to disolve and use SETI topically

Yeah I'm currently testing different vehicles, got 5 sitting in the bathroom right now. I'll post the one that works best on the blog.

Is this you?? http://i.imgur.com/ixzXiFE.png

LOL. Is that me? Let's see. Google reverse image search tells me this is the image your image was made from. http://i.imgur.com/wtR3cp9.jpg And you can clearly see in my blog images that I have long, *very* long hair. Looks like somebody needs to get a life. Maybe if they invested as much time into hairloss research they wouldn't have to be bitter losers and rely on character assassinations for whatever reason.

SwissB0ss...I used stemox ED for a while with out much success, but still have a decent amount left over. I don't want to start using it ED again but do you think it is worth adding in only for a post-wounding protocol type thing? If so how would you go about it (ie wound, use 'x' amount of days etc

Haha I know who you are. Stemox would be more useful on the days where you don't wound. I really believe LiCL is the best thing to combine with wounding. It's dirt cheap too. I personally mix my Stemox with a bit of VPA for a daily double whammy on cd34 and vegf.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10389108 In light of this study, what are your thoughts on selenium compounds and PGD2 inhibition? Do you think it would be worth it to use a 1% selenium disulphide shampoo twice a week?

Interesting. Here is the full study: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1365-2869.1999.00010.x/full
I'm seeing several problems here though, according to their research selenium inhibited the PGDS/PTGDS (the enzyme that creates PGD2). They did that with a constant infusion though, so it's unlikely we can apply this once or twice a day and get similar results. We first have to find out how long the PGDS/PTGDS stays inhibited from those selenium compounds. Bravo though, I applaud your keen eye. It would be great to get a less exotic way to lower PGD2 as we already have found more simple ways for the other 3 angles. Thank you.

Hey Swiss, where do you get your Sulfasalazine and lithium chloride? arent they perscription only?

Got my Sulfa from inhouse. The LiCL from ebay, there was a seller with very high purity.

Swiss, is it possible to apply your method(s) for diffused thinning?

Yes you're just going to need a lot more solution to cover the whole scalp.

If my AGA isn't severe (NW1 or NW2) would it be possible to regrow to NW0 without mechanical wounding and just using an antiandrogen or PGD2 inhibitor combined with a PGE2 stimulator? If it's any consolation I'm not in a hurry for results, I just mean is it possible in general, time is no issue

Depends on how recent your hairloss was. Basically once you've been bald in an area for a few years your chances are very small without recovering hair progenitor cells back to the area. If you're worried about the wounding leaving a visible red area then you could wound friday evening and wear a hat over the weekend. Should be healed by monday.

So, it is required Seti (which seems to be the most safe PGD2 inhibitor), PGE2 of some sort (seems like Castor Oil only activates one of the four receptors so that won't be enough), Lithium Chloride or VPA, and dermaneedling. And of course keeping with an anti-androgen, my case finasteride. Correct?

Yes that's correct. An anti androgen isn't needed but if you're not applying the seti to your whole head it's better to stay on it than risk losing it.

If I'm understanding your blog and subsequent questions correctly. If a NW7 in theory could grow his hair back, does this mean the prostaglandin protocol can essentially render the hair transplant industry useless?

Pretty much but since there's several substances and dedication involved I don't see it going mainstream any time soon. I'm already getting positive feedback from some of the guys on PHG who are trying my protocol fully or in part though.

When and where can I find the step-by-step instructions?

In "The Prostaglandin protocol" once I get the time to finish it.

Do you think apart from halting hair loss, Seti can regrow hair, directly or indirectly?

On it's own probably not unless we're talking about very recent loss. You really need to take care of those 4 angles together.

Is applying Lithium Chloride post-wounding alone enough for the progenitor cell angle of your protocol? Also what %/vehicle do you use for it? Thanks man.

In theory yes. I also mixed a bit of VPA into my daily topical vehicle to give it an extra edge. LiCL shouldn't be used daily on the other hand. I wrote about applying LiCL in previous answers.

Hello Swiss,whats your thought about Ramatroban as a PGD2 blocker ? I already bought one from Iron dragon but wanna make sure if it can help ?{ Off topic : I also sent an email to you for appreciate your hard work and sharing your knowledge and Invitation to PHG forum ,Please read in a meantime

It's actually a Thromboxane receptor blocker. The PGD2 blocking is more of a side effect. I don't see why it shouldn't work but Seti seems safer in that it was actually designed to be a PGD2 blocker and hasn't shown adverse effects in its two safety trials so far. It's also cheaper.
I'll make sure to check my inbox later. I'm very busy with the blog, the questions, the emails, still have to do my job as a moderator on PHG too, it's eating deeply into my free time.

Hello Swiss, you speak about the using of LC (Lithium Chloride). LC is for CD200 expression no ? Can you explain the usage of LC please ( % to use, vehicle, best practice). Thanks again :)

LiCL affects both CD34 and CD200 but it also has some other uses especially combined with wounding. Check my previous answers for those.

Hey Swiss... this is amazing and thank you so much definitely will donate for the cause. I know youndont want to promote anything, but would you have a list of vendors you would consider. I will not purchase from Kane after your insight, but then where should I turn for good products? Thanks

You're welcome. The only public alternative I know is iron-dragon.com, some people on the public forums have used their products but I haven't seen any lab tests. I personally stick to private groupbuys it's the only way to really be sure.
As for generics, there's inhousepharmacy and alldaychemist which have a very good reputation. I usually order from inhouse and they've never let me down so far.

Thanks for sharing. Are you applying the regime to your right temples? I noticed the photos are predominantly your left temple? Or perhaps you're using the right temple as a general baseline? Cheers

I apply to both temples and have recently started applying it on my hairline too. (though I only have maybe 4mm recession max there) It's just a bit of a bother to get good shots of the temples, I hold up the hair with one arm and have to point and focus the camera with the other in front of a mirror. That's why I keep it to one temple, less work.

Swiss, the lithium chloride to what percentage you use it? and in cui a carrier? Apply it only after the wounding or on other days?

I use it straight as a powder. After wounding I wait a bit, wipe away the blood and the area will still be somewhat wet. LiCL easily mixes with any water so it kind of "absorbs" into the wounds. I add about 30mg in powder and spread it over the wounded area. You could throw it into some water too but it's just easier to apply this way. I only apply it straight after wounding. Don't use it on other days.

Is there any alternative to Seti that would be easier to obtain to beat PGD2 or ideally a GP44 antagonist? Group buys are difficult to join at the moment but I'd like to start fighting PGD2 as soon as possible and obtain Seti later when available again.

You could use oc00049 but it's more expensive than seti. There are still a few spots open on the second PHG groupbuy for Seti and PGE2. Send me an email if you want to join. swisstemples@gmail.com

I read on HLH that your theory is wrong and stolen from other people. Can you explain?

Lol what? First of all I am clearly growing hair so how can it be wrong. Second I came up with the prostaglandin protocol by discussing studies with other users from PHG, one of them being hellouser which I even credited. If there's anything "stolen" it's the info from Dr. Cotsarelis studies, but I never made a secret out of that, I reference him often. I think you are referring to those sad "forum celebrities" who have posted irrelevant studies for years and haven't grown a single hair from it. Yes I saw that a few of them now claim my protocol as their invention. Yet another reason why I despise public forums. If they need that ego boost they can have it, I don't care. I'm in this for my own hair and secondly to help people who too suffer from this disease. If you appreciate my work shoot me a small donation (a beer is 4$ in Switzerland ;) or leave me a comment. I value that above useless internet fame and false ego.

Any first thoughts on Seti? I know it's been a week, but what have you noticed so far, if anything at all

Hard to be objective but I think the speed at which my hair grows has increased a bit since. I'm currently experimenting with different vehicles to achieve maximum solubility. Right now I've got a vehicle which can hold 3% but I'd like to go to 5% or maybe even further.

Hi, in einem vorherigen post hast du folgende Antwort gegeben. "Make sure to clean your scalp of dmso residue first before you apply the miconazole". Miconazole wird ja gegen Pilzbefall der Haut eingesetzt. Was genau bewirkt es denn? Ist Rizinusöl doch nicht so wirksam mit dmso? Danke im Voraus! :)

Please resubmit your question in english so everyone understands the answer. That's the point of the ask.fm after all, that people can read up on answers I've previously given.

Hello Swiss, Castor Oil is way too thick to apply to the scalp. Is there a mixture that could effectively dilute it that would still yield the same benefits?

I only apply it to the temples where I didn't have hair before so that wasn't a concern for me (it is now though lol). Not really a big enough issue for me too look into. I'm sure you can find something to reduce the viscosity on the internet. Maybe mixing it with a more liquid base oil?
Feel free to let me know if you find something, I'll share it on here and give you credit.
