You going to test this out on yourself for us Dr. G?
You don’t know until you…
@Gousti Fruit Until you put it to your head 🤫
SPOILER ALERT: It doesn’t work ‼️ To save yourself from the ‘slaphead’ curse, start taking Finasteride at 1mg/day and Minoxidil at 5%. #VeganLife 💚🍏
Thanks but I prefer to have a working willy.
@Engi_Nerd Been poppin’ Finasteride 1 mg/day and slappin’ on Minoxidil 5% for 1.5 years. Guess what? Morning wood’s on point daily, no weird side stuff, and my hair’s stopped bailing on me!
You sound like a Kevin Mann fan, using his lingo and everything. You’re right that it doesn’t work though.
Finasterid as pretty bad side effects
Judging by the thumbnail alone:
It didn’t work!
I love this channel!
Doesn’t work. Dutasteride, finasteride, topical minoxidil, oral minoxidil, bimatoprost / latanoprost are things that actually work
I tried all that sutf except for the last one and none of it worked. Strangely, what I did finally work was a home remedy from the Philippines: gugo vine bark, put in a shampoo sold there and occasionally on line.
What is the name of that shampoo?
Caffeine and rosemary oil definitely work, just not as well.
I’m getting good results from the irestore. I’m about 3 months in. Im looking forward to seeing how it looks a year from now.
Yay for rosemay oil! Making tea from fresh rosemary, pine needles and licorice root is super healthy with lots of natural MSM in it for hair growth. Eating a healthy, nutient rich diet, proper sleep and low stress helps. During a very stressful time a few months back I was losing hair more than any other time in my life. After ending the stress and getting sleep my hair stopped falling out.
Lots of the “for hair growth” episodes are proven false by the Dr’s shiny head
These effects take months. Also it may take longer depending on how long someone has been bald. The good doctor here has been bald for decades.
Is wheatgrass safe as a prenatal
Is msm for sulphur safe for pregnancy
Man on Moon 1969, nothing put hair on my bald head 2023. Science is a total failure.😢
Anything for balding is either not gonna work or will work but cause mood and sexual issues (possibly permanently).
The best thing is to let go of your ego and put up with it, just shave your hair short. If you eat healthily and do regular exercise then you will look fine anyway.
People willing to take drugs for their hair just makes them seem insecure, which is more unattractive in men than actually being bald.
Let it go, wear a wig.
I read the papers and bought me some, now I’d like to use that marvelous rosmary oil !
But…
1) how does one uses it without having oily hair ?
2) Do you you make a hair mask with it every morning and evening, then wash it?
If so, isn’t so much washing bad for the hair ?
Or do you sleep with the hair-mask on?
3) Do you add the rosmary oil into your shampoo? Does that make your hair oily?
4) Dr Greger says to add it to your “favourite lotion” : what type of lotion would that be ? And how to use it ?
Would really appreciate some guidance from someone successfully using it…
I can tell you it doesn’t make your hair oily. You can put it in the shampoo.
I don’t really know what he means by Lotion.
You can just add a drop into Water and spray it on your wet hair after showering.
Washing you hair with water multiple times a day does not harm your hair. Shampoo on the other hand can.
Hope that helps a little
Happy Birthday Dr Greger! Keep up the inspirational work!

How do you apply Rosemary twice a day without having oily hair?
