BS? I am not sure I get your point.

All of our hormones function in a dynamic balance that starts to waver
as we approach menopause or the male climacteric. The ratios can go off
with some hormones being relatively more than others. This is the
rationale behind HRT, but best done with bio-identical hormones, not
synthetic. For more info on the female side Google Dr John Lee and
hormones. He may have info for men, I am not sure since I have not
looked. He is just one resource I know. Suzanne Sommers just published a
book on her own experience with bio-identical HRT. Again I don't know if
she addresses men's issues.

BTW you guys have a 72 day cycle, not unlike the female cycle, just
longer. Amazing that something that has been known for over 30 years is
so little spoken of. I know of only a few men that will admit to cycle
related mood changes. Guess most don't know to even watch for such a
thing. I ran across the research and did my senior paper on male
contraceptives that utlized the hormone cycle, only thing was it was a
Catholic University and no one said a word! Not one question. Even the
prof who was a nun with a PhD physiologist was speechless. LOL I did not
plan it that way, it just interested me and as a non-practicing Catholic
the BC issue did not even enter my naive mind at the time. 

I have heard of special shampoos that are suppose to cleanse the hair
follicles of the accumulated DHT. The book Life Extension by Pearson and
Shaw mentions it.

As well it may make a difference when you started balding and how long
you wait to try and alter the hormone balance to save the remaining hair
follicles, if that is the source of the balding.
