How to Address the Root Issue of Male Pattern Baldness Without Lowering DHT

I just wanted to quickly discuss one of the biggest issues today which is male pattern baldness.  Many doctors prescribe 5-alpha reductase inhibitors which prevent testosterone from converting into DHT.  Although, this does help to stop or slow down MPB, this isn’t the root cause and would be the last thing you would want to do as a male.  You need DHT for many functions within the human body, but I’m not going to get into that in detail as there has been a previous article addressing all of the important functions of DHT.
One of my buddies who is very well known in the hair loss community called “Swiss Temples” began experimenting with a new method called the “prostaglandin approach”.  This approach was heavily influenced by top hair loss researchers in the field like George Cotsarelis MD, who is the head of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Luis Garza of Johns Hopkins University.

What is the prostaglandin approach?

Testosterone-->DHT--->PGD2--->Miniaturizes follice and dies

·         What we focus on is inhibiting PGD2, basically we are stopping the source of the follicle causing to die rather than lowering DHT.  High DHT = High PGD2. 

·         A balding scalp has high levels of PGD2 (bad= causes hair loss) and low levels of PGE2 (needed for hair growth)


Here is a more detailed summary of how the protocol works:

1. Plain old hormonal DHT -> PGD2 -> PGJ2 killer inflammation. Preventing neogenesis and new formation of anagen.

2. Direct expression of PGD2 -> PGJ2 killer inflammation from already bald scalp/lost hairs. This is why removing androgens alone does not regrow hair and why almost nothing works to regrow hair on slick bald areas. The affected scalp is "genetically dead" and releasing harmful prostaglandins due to enzymatic PTGDS havoc.

3. Lack of cd34 and cd200 progenitor cells preventing *physical* growth of hair. These are absolutely crucial for the actual growth of hair. Normal scalp with hair is rich in both. Prostaglandin/genetically damaged scalp has none of these.

4. Lack of beneficial Prostaglandin expression. PGE2 and subsequently PGF2a and some others won't be created in dead scalp tissue due to genetical PTGDS over-expression already converting the PGH2 precursor into harmful prostaglandins (PGD chain) instead. Think of it like a cross road with all the traffic being led into the wrong direction.

So how do we address each one of these points?

For number 1 & 2, you need a PGD2 inhibitor.  A compound called Setipiprant is being heavily researched by Dr. Cotsarelis and Kythera.  It has been through many clinical trials and is very safe.  Most importantly it does not cause side effects like ED, lowered sex drive, brain fog etc since it doesn’t affect your hormones (DHT).  At extremely high doses, Setipiprant could cause headache or insomnia.  I personally have been using Setipiprant for about a week now orally and had no side effects.  My shedding and itching has pretty much stopped.  Let me remind you I’m not taking anything else like finasteride since it gives me side effects.  This essentially does will stop your loss or “maintain”. 

For number 3, you need to do something called wounding/needling by using a 1.5mm dermaroller or derminator.  This is essentially stimulating growth factors in your scalp to bring it back to its pre-balding state.  This will stimulate CD34 and CD200 progenitor cells.  Also, another way you could promote CD stimulation is through a chemical called stemoxydine.  It’s on Amazon called Neogenic.

For number 4, you need to increase PGE2 by using real exogenous PGE2.  This will promote the hair growth aspect since balding scalps have low amounts of PGE2.

In summary, you need to lower/inhibit PGD2 and increase PGE2.  By lowering PGD2 you stop the hair loss and by increasing PGE2 will stimulate hair growth.  Also, you need to stimulate CD progenitor cells on the scalp (number 3) to help bring the scalp to it’s pre-balding state.  Now there is virtually no side effects of this approach and you are actually addressing the route cause for hair miniaturization instead of messing with your hormones.  If you are on 5AR’s or AA’s and they are working fine for you then stay on them and add this protocol.  If you are on nothing or 5AR’s/AA’s give you sides, give this protocol shot.

For reference, I would suggest reading this links below and most importantly check out Swiss Temples blog where you can see the results (pictures) for yourself.

  1. Hey Tubzy,

    Great article! I'm extremely desperate to repair my extreme diffuse thinning in the front of my scalp which accelerated after my reaction to Propecia, along with every side effect imaginable. Is there any place I can get real exogenous PGE2 and Setipiprant from?. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to help combat hair loss, except take Propecia again. I'm only 22 and went from a full nw1 to a badly diffused nw5-6 in 4 months...feelsbadman :(

    Thank you,
    John

  4. Setipiprant is a potent, orally available and selective CRTH2 antagonist, which is a G protein-coupled receptor for PGD2. It may be a promising target for the treatment of allergic disorders. It was well tolerated and reduced both the allergen-induced LAR and the associated AHR in allergic asthmatics at multiple oral doses. Setipiprant

  7. My testimony on how I became an illuminati member. My names is john rich and am 39 years old,am from USA bahamas I want to notify the people who want to join the great illuminate,on how I was helped by the Great Illuminati World secret society in regaining back my business position after been sacked for about 5years and six months. I have been in pains and troubles ever since I was sacked from the company where I work, called 'USA Deposit Insurance corporation' as an agency executive. I have been hopeless, financially down through out those years. But one day, as I was browsing through the Internet, I came across the post of the Great Illuminate world society saying you can be famous, rich and successful in life by been a member of the great Illuminati member, immediately I contacted and I explained everything to them and they recommended me and helped and I pay for the membership registration which will be used to initiate me, and I was initiated to the great illuminati world secret society after and also they gave me all the guidelines and told me their place worship. With the help of the Great illuminati world society I was able to go to temple and there I was initiated fully as a complete Illuminati member. Surprisingly 48 hours after i was initiated, I receive a call from the company that I have been accepted back again as the agency executive of the company at first I was shocked and surprised but later regain myself, i was told to resume work the next day by 7:00am. Starting from that day I and my family had been living a joyful and a luxurious life. And now am an agent now for over many years now.. So if you want to be a member of illuminati this is whatsapp[+2349067603777]
