Michael Raegan is Ronald Reagan's adopted son, not his biological son. On
the other hand Ron Reagan Jr., Raegan's biological son, is in his early 40's
and has a full untouched head of hair like his father. Reagan is a freak ,
he has an unreceeded teen age hairline at 90. That's the hairline that a
pseudohermaphrodite or a castrate would have at that age.

would you rather have your hair or your mind? Ronald reagan has great hair,
but couldn't find his ass with both hands and a flashlight.

You almost make a case for being a pseudohermaphrodite.

I'd be curious to see what kind of body hair he has... amount-wise, and
how sexual of a guy he is libido-wise... just for information sake.

The bald son is adopted, he has another son that has a full head of
hair.  I believe the son with hair is a step son or may also be adopted.
 
 
Please explain to me how a step-son is a Jr.. Ronald  Prescott Raegan Jr. is Ronald Raegan's biological son with Nancy. Patti  Davis is his full sister. If your going to say that somebody is wrong make sure you have the facts straight first.

Rumor has it that Nancy has always plucked out his body hairs with tweezers
and applied saw palmetto solution. So for national security, possibly the
FBI has a gag order preventing Ernie from naming him and any others as being
successful with his method. <g>

Interestingly enough, the same mechanisms likely operate in Altzheimers as
operate in pattern hair loss. And the same drugs, such as PBN, may be
effective. E.g.:

: Ann N Y Acad Sci 2000;899:222-37

"Nitrone inhibition of age-associated oxidative damage."

Floyd RA, Hensley K

Free Radical Biology and Aging Research Program, Oklahoma Medical Research
Foundation, Oklahoma City, USA. Robert...@omrf.ouhsc.edu

The mechanistic basis of the neuroprotective activity of the nitrone-based free
radical trap PBN (alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone) has been investigated
extensively. Key observations exclude its simple mass action spin trapping of
free radicals activity as the key mechanism of action. These include: A) the
fact that it protects in experimental stroke even if administered several hours
after the event and B) the fact that its chronic low-level administration to old
experimental animals reverses their age-enhanced susceptibility to stroke even
several days after the last dosage. PBN was found to inhibit gene induction in
several models including stroke and an LPS-mediated septic shock model. Stoke
causes inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) to be expressed. High levels of
nitric oxide and peroxynitrite (formed from nitric oxide), produced by iNOS, is
particularly neurotoxic. PBN inhibits iNOS induction. Therefore, it seems that
prevention of the formation of neurotoxic products is a rational mechanism of
action of PBN in the stroke model. There is strong rationale to consider that
there is an enhanced propensity for a "smoldering" neuro-inflammatory state in
the old brain. Reversal of this state by PBN may explain its action in
preventing age-enhanced stroke susceptibility in old experimental animals.
Significant new findings underscore the importance of neuro-inflammatory
processes in neuronal death or dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease.
Neuro-inflammatory processes implicate enhanced signal transduction processes.
Strong evidence for this is the enhanced p38 kinase activation in neurons near
plaques and tangles of the Alzheimer's brain in contrast to normal aged-matched
control brain which did not show p38 activation. In rat primary astrocytes p38
activation by the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 beta, as well as by H2O2, was
significantly suppressed by PBN. Mechanistically it was shown that PBN
suppresses the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in mitochondrial
respiration. Much evidence indicates that ROS are signaling molecules and that
they also are involved to maintaining brain phosphatases in an inactive state.
We argue that finding a specific high affinity site mechanism for the
neuroprotective action of PBN is unlikely based on the complexity of the system
reflecting ROS generation and signal transduction processes that have apparently
evolved to maintain adaptive responses. The promising pharmacological activity
of molecules like PBN is not diminished by this however, for only excessive
amounts of ROS is considered detrimental. The action of PBN in suppressing
signal transduction processes, most likely by suppressing ROS production in
mitochondrial respiration, effectively controls excessive oxidative damage and
prevents induction of genes that form neurotoxic products.

So why isn't he losing his hair?

The _mechanisms_ are similar on the molecular level, the disease
is not, being limited to brain. However, systemic amyloidosis
(Altzheimers is sort of a brain version of this) IS associated with
alopecia. Interestingly, this is reported to respond to a hydroxyl
radical scavenger, DMSO.

"Amyloidosis presented with whitening and loss of hair which improved
after dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) treatment."

Hsieh SD, Yamamoto R, Saito K, Iwamoto Y, Kuzuya T, Ohba S, Kobori S,
Saito K

A 67-year-old male patient presented with rapid progression of
whitening and loss of hair in past 2 months was consulted due to the
suspicion of hypothyroidism. He had been told to have cardiomegaly for
3 years. Thyroid function was within normal limit. Prostate biopsy was
performed because of prostatic hypertrophy and mild elevation of serum
acid phosphatase. Amyloid accumulation was observed in the biopsy
specimen. Subsequent skin biopsies revealed the same result. The scalp
hair and beard grew and turned to black gradually several months after
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment. These findings suggest that some
of the manifestation of amyloidosis may respond to DMSO treatment.

Dr. P, do you have any idea how the DMSO was used?

I've always wondered about that. During each stage of Altzheimers (I
thought of it as stages because she got progressively worse), she did
experience a lot of hairloss. She had really thick hair up until she
was around 80. Then she started losing her hair shortly after she was
diagnosed with the disease.

Even with Alzheimers he's still better than our recent lot of Presidents.
Serious though, These guys that are selling this new book, and product- sadly I
forgot what it was- I chalked up to another snake oil scheme, say that Reagan
has adequate amount of some circulating Hormone, thus no hair loss, BTW The
weird Herb, or whatever the hell it was came up on this thread,It had very few
respones-Likely because its snake oil

He is not President Reagans biological son.In any case,baldness can skip
generations.If you ever see pics of Pres.Reagan without his shirt,he has no
body hair or 5 o'clock shadow.Ernie
