Red Meat And Male Pattern Baldness

[Jill F]

I ate a lot of meat for many years.  Still not bald.  Not even close...

Certain hairs in your head can be more sensitive. That's why when they do transplants, they take follicles from the back and/or sides and replant them up top. DHT is the trigger but the cells in the follicles are what's different in MPB. Suppressing DHT with drugs like finasteride is one way of preventing to some degree.

that's it then....is it easy to get a prescription from your doctor if you don't have any "serious" matters like prostate cancer?

I was a participant in early studies of the drug and I've been taking it just about ever since except a brief pause in the Navy. Every doctor I've asked since then has prescribed it without fuss when I told them I'd taken it before with no ill effects. I don't know how hard it is to get if you've never taken it but most people have no bad side effects as long as you take it exactly as prescribed. I hear it also suppresses body hair somewhat. DHT appears to be related to triggering that as well.

gonna try get a prescription then...hope i'm lucky if DHT is related with all this scary thing....

one damn thing i still cannot understand and i feel sad about it is...why other people nations have less body hair and suffer less  from MPB like Asians...and Mediterrannean people for example (i happen to be from there) suffer more of this thing....it feels kinda unfair to me...
