- General Hair Loss Questions
From the Regrowth! Web Site
- What is the best product, if any, for the front, or
horseshoe effect of the head, if you have no problem with the top of your head?
- Is it better to use Nioxin, or shampoo and
conditioner containing Biotin, Niacin, Sage Extract, ...etc.
- Does the dietary supplement DHEA contribute in any
way to the promotion of hair loss?
- About 2 months after I
gave birth to my baby girl I started to find hair on my pillow and hair on my comb,
something that I didn't experience before. What can I do to stop it?
- I started to use Rogaine about 3
years ago (at age 29). My most immediate side effect is headache. Is this normal? Will
this go away after continued usage? Also, does Minoxidil help arrest loss in the frontal
area? How about 5% Minoxidil?
- Allopathic medicine focus is on
localized hair environment. What about systemic body toxicity causing a repartitioning of
body's finite resources to essential organs, thereby letting ancillary tissue/organs like
hair atrophy (assuming the genetic predisposition is there)?
- Dr. Lewenberg makes some
incredible claims about his formula. How much of this is true? Why isn't everyone using
it? Does is do what it says it will, or even part of what is claimed?
