In response to greybeards' questions:

I get my IGF levels checked evey 4 months. There hasn't really been any change and my doctor wanted me to go up to 1 IU/day. I did that for a while, but I am paranoid about side effects (like becomming diabetic or my bones growing) so I have stuck with the 1/2 IU/day. My doctor will keep me on it for anti-ageing effects. I am using a brand called 'Scitropin'. It can be used with a needless injector, but I have gone back to traditional needles because the needless injector didn't work so well. I have just done some more blood tests last week so I should get the results in the next 10 days. I have been particularly irritable lately and have been shedding a lot of hair for the last 4 weeks. I suspect that maybe it is related to the 50mg/day of DHEA that I have been taking. I am guessing that my testosterone levels are high and that maybe my DHT levels have increased as a result. I will know when the blood tests get returned as he requested both testosterone and DHEA levels. If you really want to stop your hair loss, research 'Avodart'. I took it for almost a year and my hair grew really thick. There were side effects however, so I returned to finasteride.

As far as hair loss treatments go, I am taking 1.25 mg Finasteride/day, 320 mg saw palmetto. I get my doctor to prescribe a solution of 7% Minoxodil and 0.01% retinoic acid. I get this made up at a compounding chemist (in Australia). I apply 1 ml to my scalp morning and night. This is the same solution that 'Ashley and Martin' use at their clinics (they are a successful hair loss clinic in Australia). Apparently the retinoic acid is important in the mix to enable the minoxodil to absorb far enough into the scalp. My hair routine routine also now includes using the Hairmax Lasercomb (don't really know if it does anything though) and I also have a UV wand which I bought from Ashley and Martin (again, I don't know if it really does anything). I am of course now also taking the 'Shou Wu Pian' and cat's claw, both in an attempt to restore colour to my hair. I am thinking about adding GH3 to the list as well. I have been taking the Cat's Claw for about a week and one thing that I have noticed is that the 'whites' of my eyes have become very clear and white and my eyes look kinda glazed...is this a good thing?

In comparison to my brothers, I definitely have retained more hair and have just slight receding in the temporal areas. However, I am almost totally gray and they have very few grays at all. They gray thing totally confuses me. I have a fairly stressful job (airline pilot), but I don't think that could make me as gray as I am.

- Have wondered about the zinc/copper ratio in this.  Zinc deficiency is linked with hair loss and higher levels of zinc are linked with a depression of copper levels and a possible decline in pigmentation.  Is it possible to strike a perfect balance? - mod

I've tried Melancor for about 4 months now with no noticeable results.  I decided to try Reminex instead since it seems to have all the ingredients of Melancor plus He Shou Wu.  It's also produced and marketed by UNICO enterprises which has a AAA rating by the better business bureau while Melancor has a horrible rating.  I've just taken dairy products out of my diet as was suggested on this or another forum since it supposedly inhibits the intake of copper.  I will definitely let you know if I have any success.

There was a guy on another forum like this one, who said he was [using] Folligen (which is supposed to be for hair loss) and taking Melancor and that his gray was going away.  He attributed it to the Melancor since he applied the Folligen (a copper peptide) to a different part of his scalp.

Seems that LEF Mix covers all that, except that the beta-carotene, copper, and lycopene doses are higher in the product you mentioned.  Interesting.

I'm taking 23 mg of lycopene daily (3 mg from LEF Mix, and 20 mg from the prostate formula I take), but my beta-carotene and copper doses are from the LEF Mix.  It might be interesting to up my doses of those as well, along with continuing the Green Stuff to see what happens.

Answer to reverse grey hair.

As a new member to this forum, I see your frustration, but it's not the major at all. If I say it's not that hard to get back your old or original hair color, the people will jump to me and give me bad feed back. I know it happened to me but not now, it happened to many people but not any more because I have discoverd the simple method by using only one thing from groceries store and it works, it works really well by making your own drink, after 2-3 weeks, you will see hair become changing from gray to your own hair color. Other than that you will benifit such as:to balance hormones, strengthens bone, improve memory and brain functioning, and improve your sex life. I will find out what's called in English. I wonder how many people will be interested in it. It's natural and no chemical involved at all.

I would like submit a testimonial regarding the Pepperie that was mentioned a few times in February. I bought this off ebay and I really didn't think it would work.  I have read a great deal about how hair loses color and the scientific world will tell you it can't be reversed. 

I'm 39 years old and I started to grey at age 19 and was 75% grey at 29 so I started dying it. Physically I am very healthy at 5'5 and 125 pounds and take multivitams, exercise and eat healthy. I was told the reason was genetic I was grey so early because it happened to my paternal grandmother about the same time.

I started using it about 6 weeks ago exactly as described. I used Absolute Vodka and steeped it for 6 hours.  It says to spray it on wet hair every day but a few times I was running late for work so I waited and did it after I get home on dry hair.  I use a fair amount since my whole head is affected and I have gone thru a 2 month supply already but I bought more today. It worked for me. I haven't gone a full 4 weeks without dying my hair in over 10 years....till now.

I pulled a few hairs out the other day and saw where the changes of color was actually happening. First there was red (hair dye), then grey, then brown. My natural color. I'm sold on the stuff!!! There's no aweful smell, the massage is relaxing and my hair is shinier than ever before. Now if I could just get one of my kids to massage it in for me, I'd be set 

I hope this helps somebody. I'm not going to say it'll work for everybody because like you, I haven't found many reviews....except on ebay and that's one liners. Not much info there. I will still have to dye my hair a few more times....since hair grows in stages, but I have a salt and pepper look right now and that's a huge improvement for me. I have faith that one day, with this herbal tea, I will have my hair back.

Does anyone have any information about  BIMATOPROST, the glaucoma drug that showed promise for gray hair reversal (without side efects)?

What are the ingredients of PIPPERIE?

I wonder if u can do A HOMEMADE VERSION MIXING THE HERBS AND LET THEM STEEP IN ALCOHOL.

WHAT DO U THINK?
