Propecia Update |
|
|
|
Researchers re-assess
side effects of hair
loss treatment.
Men who take Propecia
for hair loss experience
minimal effects on
sexual function, Italian
researchers report.
In clinical trials,
up to 4.4 per cent of
men treated with the
drug reported sexual
side effects.
However, in the
current study no sexual
side effects were
observed.

Mouse model gives
insight to human hair
loss |
|
|
|
A progressive skin
disease causing hair
loss in adult humans was
identified in laboratory
mice, providing a
genetic tool to study
the disease known as
alopecia areata (AA).
"Our mouse model has
proven to be very useful
as a preclinical model
to test new treatments
for alopecia areata
before being used in
humans," states lead
researcher, John P.
Sundberg, D.V.M., Ph.D.,
of The Jackson
Laboratory inBar Harbor,
Maine. The study further
provided the opportunity
to use newly available
gene array technology to
study AA's molecular
mechanisms.
In this 5-year study,
published in the Journal
of Investigative
Dermatology, researchers
identified a virtually
identical mouse model
for human adult onset AA
and were able to
reproduce the disease
for exploring
treatments. Data
revealed that the
disease has a
complicated genetic
basis that involves 4 or
more genes.
These genes include
those involved in
susceptibility to the
disease and genes that
regulate pigmentation of
the skin and hair.

Hair cloning again |
|
|
|
Nov. 4, 2004 -- Balding
men and women take note.
Hair cloning -- the next
hair restoration remedy
-- is on the way.
OK, it's not exactly
cloning, although that's
what it's come to be
called. Researchers
working to perfect the
new technique prefer the
term "hair
multiplication."
And no, it's not
ready for prime time.
Not yet, says Ken
Washenik, MD, PhD.
Washenik is medical
director for Bosley, the
giant hair restoration
company that's one of
several firms racing to
bring hair
multiplication to
market. He's also
clinical assistant
professor of dermatology
at New York University
Medical Center.

Food Helps Reduce Hair
Loss |
|
|
|
Hair loss is common in
cancer patients. We
constantly are reminded
of this devasting side
effect when we see
pictures of hundreds of
children with bald heads
who have been treated
with chemotherapy.
In addition to this
side effect, reports
show that 25-50 percent
of hospital cancer
patients suffer from
Protein Calorie
Malnutrition and only
1/3 of them survive five
years. To help prevent
these side effects, many
doctors are recommending
to their patients a food
from Asia (liquid
fermented/nitrogenated
soybean beverage) that
has been used as a
parallel therapy in many
documented cases,
alongside traditional
cancer treatments.
The beverage's
benefits include
strengthening of the
immune system and a
reduction in side
effects normally
associated with these
types of treatments.

Nanogen |
|
|
Since this product was
launched it has become
the number one seller in
the concealer products.
Cheaper than its
rivals, it is getting
great reviews with very
positive feed back from
users. I would suggest
you try this product.
You will probably never
use another brand again
!!
Nanofibres are a
unique formulation of
pure keratin that have
been precision cut by
laser to microscopic
dimensions. After
cutting, the fibres are
dyed and are coated to
enhance the retention of
electrostatic charge.
The dried fibres are
then hygienically packed
into containers, which
are constructed from a
sophisticated polymer
that stimulates static
charging of the fibres
whenever the container
is moved.
