the mice she was working with at that time started to regrow hair when they were given anti-inflammatory drugs.

So take ibuprofen and look young again!...........

Wonder if this technology could be used in reverse to inhibit hair growth?

Can it be localized?

Look into Biotin. Both my beautician and doctor confirmed its use to regrow/strengthen hair and nails.
Some of the terms I theabove article can also be found in the research of Biotin.
I’m on10,000 units/ day. It’s water soluble so unused passes thru.

With this news and the recent reports on Metformin having anti-cancer properties...I'm feeling pretty well set up as a Type II diabetic with a bad back.

Honey once a day on your scalp keeps you from growing bald.

Oh brother. Of course it is an autoimmune disorder. Look up Alopecia Areata. My son lost 3/4 of his hair at 15. After 3 months under Chinese medicine, in China, he had 99% of it back. They have known this for decades if not centuries. According to his doctors over there, it was an imbalance between kidneys and liver. Tough to argue with success.

I noticed yesterday that my hair was coming out by the roots, didn’t hurt, but when I tried to pick out a knot, it just pulled it all out. And today I found some extra hairs. uggg Oh well, I knew it was coming.

I had Alopecia Areata when I was about 25 and it looked so bad I had my wife shave all my hair off.

About a month later my hair started to regrow, it’s a process you have to put with.

Oh the irony. I have a full head of unruly hair but shave it bald every 4 or 5 days. People my own age are spending billions on hair growth remedies. Half the world wants hair, the other half wants it to go away.

Just going by what I read here. Could be bunk. Dunno.

Hope you're feeling alright these days.
