Proxiphen for Alopecia Areata?!
AnakinBoy10
Since its targeted at androgen-related hairloss, how would it help Alopecia
Areata? Are the cortisones in it or other immunosupressants?
Or is is simply the minoxidil?

It is a "kitchen-sink" type treatment that combines a number of
different treatments that each seperately treat MPB from different
angles...in theory, anyway. I believe the dosage of minox in
Proxiphen is only 2%, and the other dosages in that treatment are
unkown. I think that it is more cost effective to just combine 5%
minoxidil and Propecia with some other treatments like retin-a, spiro,
copper-peptides, etc...
The only Proctor product I can swear by is his NANO shampoo, which
I've found has significantly reduced my amount of hair shed daily. I
use it about 3X weekly.

Basically, Proxiphen is composed of many of the agents we have
found in our screening program going back 20 years. Ourl chief
screening technique was a "cross-over". in which we triy out new
things on persons who have failed our previous treatment. Anthign
that works is by definition an improvement.
Proxiphen is the subject of nine US patents covering a broad
range of hair-growth stimulators, many of which work in complimentary
ways. At the moment, it contains 14 different active ingredients.
While it is not clear exactly how some our our agents work,
some are SOD's, some likely act by increasing levels of nitric oxide (
the putative "natural minoxidil" ), some reverse fibrosis ( the
terminal even in pattern loss ), some have anitinflammatory
properties and so forth.
To clear up some apparent misconceptions: The only
antiandrogen per se we use is spironolactone. Similarly, I add
minoxidil mostly for persons who have been on this drug and may be
somewhat dependent upon it. You can leave it out and it does not
seem to make much difference. This may because one or more of our
other agents do the same thing.
Proxiphen works pretty well on Alopecia areata, just as long
as it is not complete ( alopecia totalis or universalis) and/or the
loss is really long-term.
Time to response is quite variable. I once had a
mother/daughter pair, both with alopecia areata. The daughter had
pretty extensive loss on top, but started regrowth at three months
and had pretty good regrowth by 6-7 months.
Mom had just a few quarter-sized spots, but showed no response
until about 8 months. She would not have stayed on treatmen except
that her daughter had responded so well. She then proceeded to
fill in essentially completely.

Actually, the last I heard, it was 5.5% minoxidil.
