- It's no question that our healthcare system is broken, that people are suffering, and that figureheads like Dr. Eric Berg are helping millions take back control of their health. What he does is admirable.
But do I agree with Dr. Eric Berg's advice for hair loss? Not in all contexts. This video reveals where our interpretations of studies may differ.
We'll explore my perspective on a recent video by Dr. Eric Berg: "12 Home Remedies to Prevent Hair Loss and Regrow Your Hair".
Throughout our analysis, we'll uncover that Dr. Eric Berg is truthful with almost all of his advice. It's just that the truths tend to apply only to small portions of hair loss sufferers... or that the truths are built on data from petri dish studies and animal studies, but not humans (or interventional data).
Hopefully, this video helps grow your understanding of hair loss science and help you derive even more benefit from Dr. Berg's content. When we clarify the context needed in order for a claim to be true, Dr. Berg's advice becomes a lot more actionable.

Just see the testimonials on his site for the positive impact he's having.
I hope this video helps broaden your understandings of hair loss science and makes Dr. Berg's advice even more relevant and actionable.
Hey man this is killing me but there's any truth to mineral water and applying it on the scalp or drinking it to improve period or that's just another one of those things that don't have enough evidence? 🤔
@@christopherespinal4620 most water already has minerals in it, including shower water. So no, there's no truth to it.
Have you researched about beard growth. Why some don't get full beard etc? I have some hairloss and follow your system but also I don't have a full beard. Is dht the problem and how can I increase dht in facial hair?
People need to realize he is a chiropractor not a medical doctor... He blatantly gives me this information on topics and gets called out. He makes a living selling supplements.
In the islands we have used Rosemary to regrow hair for centuries. The rest of the world is just now catching up. We don’t need studies or experiments, rosemary works
how are you using rosemary?
@@davezanin9092they gave no reply... Not a good sign.
Well I’ve been following dr berg for a few weeks and I’m losing a lot less hair a huge difference
Me too. Diet and natural remedies have grown back my hair
What are the two of you doing?
@@TheTrueforeigner what remedies and food pls
What are you doing cause I’m really losing hair! It’s terrible
@@Saveroomforyourlove maybe genetics just doomed you
Dr Berg forgot to mention prayers. Praying has grew my hair back.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
One thing I can tell you is that getting insulin resistance under control works to help keep your hair. And taking Saw Palmetto as 'n woman who has PCOS, works a tonne. It even made my eyelashes grow longer and thicker which is an unexpected bonus.
What about saw palmetto for men?
I tried the saw palmetto+ gelatin+ l-cysteine after watching Dr Berg video. All I am saying I was feeling miserable for years witnessing my edges disappearing and my hair thinning. I don’t wear wigs anymore to hide my hairs , because my hair are growing back for the first time in years. Thank you Dr Berg❤
@@cleocatra9324 @Cleocatra Saw Palmetto has traditionally been recommended as a beneficial herb for men, for the health of the male reproductive system and prostate. There's a lot of information on the Internet about it's benefits to men. It can help with the prevention of male patterned hairloss and even regrowth.
You can watch a UA-cam video by Dr. Gary Linkov (plastic surgeon) titled "from thin hair to thick hair naturally" in which he discusses various remedies and treatments that have been researched and seem genuinely helpful. Ironically, he suffers from Alopecia Areata, an incurable autoimmune disease.
@@Pookia89 That's wonderful. Happy for you and your good experience with these products, bring hope to others too. It really sucks to lose one's hair!
@@Pookia89 Me I take Saw Palmetto + gelatine + rosemarin oil shampoo and it works beautifully. Thank you Dr Berg ❤

Me I take Saw Palmetto + gelatine + rosemarin oil shampoo and it works beautifully. Thank you Dr Berg ❤
I think those of us that have baby fine hair , baldness, thinning hair loss should share our testimonies on what works for us.
Totally agree
Yes indeed. Because I still look young as a 40 year old men. No rimples, even a sixpack and everything. But yes the hair tinning started a little bit after a negative period and I just can't use this now. I don't want it. Not now that I am back on track.
@@fanfamI'm 30, I used to be considered very attractive and sexy. I've lost most of my hair during last 3 years. Guess what? I look like shit, no more girls approaching me by themselves.
Use a dermal roll on your scalp and consume Jell-O is good for hair growth..so far working for me. Dermal roll hurts but hey no pain no gain. Not everyone is the same genetically. But the tightness that happens in the scalp and blood flow decreasing is real... Berg does mention this. This Explains why injections of Botox in scalp increased hair growth in 80% of men .
I spent over $400 on "Dr." Berg's hair loss supplement, took it as directed for months, and there was no improvement. I tried to post a review on his website, but they don't post the negative reviews.
I’m sorry, I’m still looking for the correct treatment also. There are Many causes for hair loss. I have not tried his product.
@@marilynb6645 Don't waste your money.
I didn’t buy his hair supplement but been just taking high quality vitamins electrolytes and more keto based diet and my hair loss in a few weeks has dropped by 90%

400 dollars??? Damn! It figures...no surprise. Most of that money going to Scientology too I bet.
ouch! thanks for being both polite and 100% ruthlessly truthful.
You are right to mention that reasearch showed Quercetin has no effect in blocking DHT. But what you forgot to mention is that Research also showed that Quercetin blocked DHT at higher concentration after increasing DHT levels initially at lower concentrations. Overall good video.
Were is the research who tells this claim?
Your in depth understanding and explanation is impressive and the best zi have come across. Great job. Thank you!!
I took Dr Bergs advice about trace minerals. It worked. My hair stopped falling out! JFI
Which ones do you take?
Did you have normal hair loss or pattern baldness?
I really appreciate the discourse between researchers and scientists, questioning each others ideas - not through hateful exchange of punches, but in process of insightful dialogue. Doubt is necessary for scientific progress, that can eliminate possible errors or stimulate further research.
Rob, very nicely done. Also, the quality of Your video and sound improved. Congratulations. I await more :)
Berg is a chiropractor though.. a pseudoscientist.
@@Mns_87 Well I applied his advices and my hair grew bigger and stronger. I do not understand your comment
@@fdloopsame I noticed though in different videos on hairloss he does mention different things I guess nobody is the same the consumption of jello has proven to healthy hair growth so I'm happy
@@fdloopHair grows naturally. So on its face, your comment doesn't demonstrate anything. Maybe you can clarify.
@@mimicmageWhat are you saying about jello?
Berg is not a dietician or physician. He obtained a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree in 1998 at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport. He is not a medical doctor.
All while knowing much more than most GP doctors and actually caring about peoples health outcomes. Go figure
We all know that ( he is not an MD) what is really concerning is that the machine behind him is Scientology and if you are unable to exercise critical thinking you will become addicted to suplementos that he push relentlessly his own brand in other words use critical thinking …… I don’t buy any of his supplements for one reason only the machine behind ….I discover that all that information that he is very good about it and work hard is the medium that he compensate by the Keto diet!…… adverse symptoms which is a very murky road to travel
I follow Dr Dan D’Agostino PhD …..
For the Keto life Style because sooner or later you will fine that you end up suffering one or multiple of the symptoms that he does research
To compensate for what sooner or later will find yourself in it
The benefits of Keto are incredible
I’m glad that this researcher is doing
This detail view of Mr Berg …..but to give each his own merits I have learned a great deal through him and continue to learn…. We have to stop looking for the fountain of eternal health it doesn’t exist …..
You will have a decent health if you exercise moderation and don’t abuse our bodies
All the best to you ……
I like your way to analyse Dr. Berg's statements. This gives us more objectivity! I appreciate the way you questions bold statements.
You should make a video on the importance of DHT in the body. A lot of people are convinced it's evil because of hairless but not aware of it's use and benefits
Trash

Hey rob just saw your interview on What I’ve learnt! Great watch.. amazing to see you so elated with your knowledge!! Thankyou, your outlook towards information ( critical evaluation and non-profit distribution) this is something I admire so so much. I had to comment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
For the fluoride, I would still rather cut it out as much as possible. Can't overthink this stuff. You have to do your research, but you also shouldn't freeze because of all the conflicting information you're taking in. You have to start taking steps and just go for it.
What does flouride has to do with it?
@@ayadhussin6771 I believe it aids in the calcification of soft tissue and hair follicles.
Heavy metals also bind to mineral receptors and starve the hair follicles. Heavy metals tend to be in tap water too.

@@nickkerinklio8239 But it depends were country you live. Some countries have higher contamination in tap water than others
I followed Dr Bergs advice on hair loss using rosemary oil in a carrier oil and my hair is growing on very well. I thank him so much for his great advice.
In what ratios? What is the carrier oil you use?
@@lindacake5792 1 teaspoon essential oill to 5 teaspoons of carrier oil. I would do 2 -10 depending on how much you think you will need. Hope this helps.
@@lindacake5792 Rosemary oil with your sulphate paraben and minerla oil free shampoo or soapnut lather can help hair growth as it decreases the bacterial growth in a minor way but if its chronic and progressive, must visit your derma doctor for furthur advice. 2 to 3 drops of rosemary oil in your shampoo and mix well with fresh water and use it on your damp hair can help your hair much better. Shud not i say shud not blow dry your hair with hard blowers, i say use dyson hair dryer to hair can dry your hair naturally as it has advance techwwhihc blows colder air not hot air. To me atleast, it helped. Rosemary oil works as much as minoxodil works in the same way. Also Onion juice works fine eith my friend. Regular use can help your scalp. Onion juice helps ss it is used in many asian countries but again with Alopecia, need to visit your doctor. Note: Water must be of less PPM and solvents. Have a TDS meter for your water checked. It only costs 10 dollars and use water treatment solutions for your house as you might have dissolved particles and flouride and chlorine salts/ mineral solvents in your water which can make your hair brittle damaged and break off easily. Rich always have this system installed in their houses. They just dont know it. American water system has dissolved lead/ Salt content in water with flouride from ground water. I say water treatment plant in house holds is a must after chrcking your water ppm levels. Daily two days a week shampoo shud be done. I use natural wild soapnuts crushed, heated and soaked for two hours mix with three drops of rosemary oil whihc helped a lot for me atleats. Once ina while, use cold pressed cocunut oil for enrichment as it treats your hair well with richness and lustous. Shudnt over do it. Once in a while ACV apple cider vinegar bath with water of 1/4 th quantity can clean your scalp slowly. I suggest if the hair fall is gradual, can try natural remedies. If progresses, see a doctor.

In this order, we can reverse the effects efficiently.
Hey Rob,
Do you think dermapens are a overkill over dermarollers?
Many people are concerned over dermarollers because of the micro tears it produces to the skin.
What's your opinion?
Your review of the advices is gold, thanks
The biggest takeaway: I realized I have a bias towards natural = safe and no side effects. However, now I realize natural doesn't automatically equate to no harmful side effects and that context matters. I'm enjoying how to more critically look at the studies and information used to support claims for hair regrowth modalities. Really appreciate all your work and efforts Rob!
Drugs are more likely to work faster or easier, but with more side effects. Natural definitely does not inherently mean safe but the natural remedies used for this typically don't require harmful ingredients
Drugs are crudely produced and do it’s effects crudely.
Herbs and natural remedies can have effects but it’s mechanisms isn’t as crude as a pharmaceutical.
It’s like comparing weight loss via exercise and diet vs getting a tummy tuck surgery
@@stephenodubhlaoichwith more side effects? I had severe burns by rubbing essential oils than I ever had symptoms with finasteride. It depends what you're doing "naturally".
@@xiondFirst Which oils? Some oils like peppermint oil are meant to be diluted with other oils because they can be very irritating when they're undiluted.
@@xiondFirst Finasteride is one of those things where you might not get any sides but the sides you do get may make you regret it for years. Any side effects from oils tend to go away on their own and don't effect your life like being impotent for years afterwards
Thank you; I did try out Dr. Berg's hair serum. Not going to finish it. On the one hand it has rosemary oil, but it also has tea tree oil as well. Dr. Berg has helped me out greatly with regard to my health though. I highly recommend him and his products for nutritional information and supplementation.
You are the BEST hairloss chanel in the entire UA-cam platform!!! Please come back ❤
Really glad that I found another voice about Dr bergs. Not to discredit him, but many a times his researchs only touches the tip of the ice "berg"
I have extensively use all that has been discussed. Most on the list can't treat Androgenetic Alopecia except Rosemary oil. Personally its a combination of factors, haircare and hormonal balance.
I used to work for a pharmaceutical and they had this product with onion juice, and the studies were from Japan.
Very common in India their hair care it’s the best and many remedies that really work !!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:15 🤔 When evaluating home remedies for hair loss, consider your rate of hair loss before opting for natural or pharmaceutical interventions.
08:15 🧪 The claim that quercetin in onions inhibits DHT production is not supported by strong evidence; context and comprehensive research are necessary.
18:38 🌿 Rosemary oil may show modest cosmetic improvement for hair loss but lacks strong clinical evidence, and its effectiveness depends on various factors.
21:08 💊 Zinc supplementation can benefit those with zinc deficiency-related hair loss, but it may not be as effective for androgenic alopecia, which has different causes.
23:40 🍏 Apple cider vinegar, when diluted, does not have clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness in promoting hair growth and may cause scalp irritation if not diluted.
24:09 🧴 Bacteria in hair follicles can accelerate hair loss by creating inflammation, which leads to more sebum production and hair shedding.
25:03 🍏 Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid, which can promote the growth of certain scalp bacteria associated with hair loss in some individuals.
26:28 🥦 Hair loss during a ketogenic diet may indicate a lack of protein intake; increasing protein intake can help prevent it.
27:34 🚺 Estrogen may have a protective effect against hair loss in women, contradicting the claim that it leads to hair loss.
28:46 ⚖️ Selenium supplementation may help with hypothyroid-related hair loss but is only relevant to a small percentage of the population.
31:00 😓 Stress can contribute to hair loss, particularly in cases of telogen effluvium, which is usually temporary.
34:31 🌿 Biotin deficiency leading to hair loss is extremely rare, and supplementing with biotin may not significantly improve hair counts in most cases.

Clincal evidence who cares. You think medical researchers are going to examine natural remedies for any health problems, they want you to buy the drugs not go to the grocery store.
Dr berg is a gift to this generation. people shouldn't take advantage of some of his words...
He’s a high profile member of Scientology, people should view his recommendations with skepticism
@@austinz9862 woah seriously? he seems like such a smart guy
@@austinz9862 yikes!! Hard pass.
I don't think blindly following anyone is a good idea. Common sense is always necessary and the advantage with people like Dr Berg is that you can always try and see if it works for you. Normally you'd have to go to a doctor or specialist to get this kind of help and they can be just as wrong as the average youtuber on the matter. And yes, just like anyone who goes out and tells his version of the 'truth', he's going to be wrong. But because he offers natural remedies that are often easy to obtain, he does far less damage than a doctor prescribing medicine with potentially very damaging side effects.
Rob, can you please do a video on the relationship between Seb Derm and MPB? As well as how to best address Seb Derm. Seb Derm seemed to correlate with me losing hair and regardless of what I try, Seb derm remains.
Hello Rob,
What do you think about the up regulation of the prolactin receptor playing a major role in AGA?
Thanks a lot Rob!!
Please help me out. I have been using Rosemary oil from past 6 months and there a lot of baby hair grown at the bottom of my hairline, it's like tremendous amount. But they are not growing more, they are still that small. Please tell me what should I do next to make them grow efficiently!
As he states in the video, Rosemary oil is only as effective as 2% minoxidil. I would recommend switching to 5% minoxidil and combining it with a low-dose topical finasteride (0.025%), 0.25% Tretinoin, and micro-needling to see significant results.
Can hair straightening treatments cause permanent hair loss? I tried to find more information on this topic on your channel but i couldn't find it.
If you could answer this question i would be very grateful.
That was a nice review of hair loss related claims. May I ask your opinion on adding essential oils to minoxidil, do you see any safety concerns and or reasons why they shouldn't be mixed in the same bottle?
Thanks and looking forward to more videos
Thanks. My only concern would be that doing so would dilute minoxidil below 5%, which might lower its efficacy. Studies show that 2% minoxidil underperforms 5% minoxidil in men. It’s harder for me to comment on safety concerns, but whenever possible, I usually recommend working with a compounding pharmacy to ensure whatever you’re mixing isn’t reacting to create problematic ingredients or deactivating active ingredients.
@@PerfectHairHealth Thanks for your reply. Atm I am adding pure essential oils to minoxidil bottles. I add 90 drops, about 4ml, into a 60ml bottle. A relatively small dilution. I then apply a bit more than the prescribed 1ml on my scalp. The question on compounds reactivity remains unanswered for now.
Another excellent video Rob.
A question to your point on time horizon :
Let's say if someone tries an all natural regimen (scalp Massages) and sees no improvement or stabilisation in hair loss. If this person decides to try medication (fin,min ect) , would it be a good idea to keep doing the natural methods still?
Thanks! It's a great question. We suspect that massaging may work through two mechanisms: acute inflammation generation and muscle relaxation. The former is similar to microneedling, which we know pairs well with FDA-approved treatments like minoxidil. So, in this situation, it might make sense to continue massaging or microneedling if you introduce minoxidil.
We have stories from members who saw stabilization from finasteride and no regrowth (for 3+ years) until introducing massaging, then seeing a lot of recovery. These are anecdotes and I don't want to overstate them, but the short answer is that we don't yet know.
@Perfect Hair Health ,you didn't talk about green tea,for DHT in this video,is it a good natural DHT blocker or there is a better natural blocker?
Post a video on scalp inflamation , many people dont know they have it and use fin and min for years with no result.
hey rob,
I was wondering what a good starting point is, i subsribed to your emails and was considering signing up but should I get blood work or seen by a dermatologist before hand?
Hi Mr. Rob,
I read about the fibrosis of the scalp and as per dr. Berg vitamin E specially Tocotrinol can stop and reverse the fibrosis.
Could you please check it whether it is good option for baldness or not.
Thank you
Well, the past month I've started alternating Rosemary oil and green tea rinse every second day together with massaging.....can't put it on hold for few months whilst waiting for comment on green tea LOL....hopefully when we get the video on green tea I'll have a full head of hair after having female pattern baldness for over 50 years and wearing a wig for the past 25 years🙏🙏🙏
Dr Berg is a nice wise guy. He has helped me a lot with his enlightening advices. But I think remedies differ for every individual... I personally go to a clinic here in Germany and also do every useful natural remedy at the same time. I eat lots of carrots which bcause of carotine is good for hair.
Thank u for your effort. You hv done so much research. Very useful information👍👍👍😊 at the same time, grateful to Dr Berg for his kindness to educate us on various health topics💟
Never stop with the videos Rob, they’re excellent!
I think you could get your point across and advice without bashing someone else.
Twisted words, highly subjective, starting out saying Dr Berg is admirable then quickly using this “Im so nice and impartial” to justify all the emotive BS he’s spinning about Dr Berg. ironically with using poor data & out of context. This guy is a manipulative business man. Stick to the simple things known AND use. By way the most people are low in selenium and it’s harder find in the soil do chemicals used in modern farming.
He didn’t - clearly you missed the beginning
@@yd9896 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rob, would adding my topical min and fin solution 5% and 0.05% respectively to my minoxidil foam and use it as an all in one be sufficient ?
So what do you suggest then for hair growth?
I’m sad to see my hair loss. Now I’m hoping for the best way to save my hair!
Wow. This is the most practical and indepth analysis on a video I've ever seen. Amazing job Rob. On a side note, what are your thoughts on gua sha therapy to loosen up scalp muscles? Kinda curious on your take
Thanks! We can use the same framework in the above video for evaluation. First, there's observational data to suggest that AGA-affected scalps are harder and have higher degrees of tension versus hair-bearing scalps. There's also interventional data to suggest that Botox injections (a muscle relaxant) into the scalp perimeter muscles improve AGA outcomes, and since Botox doesn't travel more than 10-20mm from the site of a muscular injection, it's my belief that this data implicates the contraction of the muscles as an accelerator of AGA (although it's important to note these studies aren't of gold-standard design and they need to be repeated). So, perhaps gua sha and other scalp muscle-relaxing therapies might help? But I don't know! We don't have strong enough data to say.
in europe we don't have fluoride in our tab or shower water, we still lose hair. so it really cannot be a big reason for hairloss. i'm with you on this point.
Have you checked your thyroid?
That’s not true check your local area and City Council
Started doing scalp massage 2 times a day, 12 min per session, i don't really see any new hair growing or anything like this, but each session my hair would fall 29, and this have progressively getting lower, now I am at 7 hairs per sessions after 2 weeks. Also, my hair is super super soft now.
One small side effect I had at the beginning was some skin peeling off form my head, but honestly I dont care
It's actually good signs for you ,that's how good hair comes
maybe you just removed most of the hairs in the resting phase by massaging your scalp and now there aren't many left to fall off so you see less hairs falling out. that absolutely doesn't mean that your hairloss has stopped or even slowed down
You need a dermal roll not massage. The messaging is so you relieve the tightness of the scalp but you can increase the blood flow by poking with dermal roll I have had success I do massage... But you may be doing it wrong it's possible to exercise the wrong way too even though it seems so simple.
why do yall do everything except seeing a doctor?
Hey rob, will taking multivitamin tablets daily build up tolerance?.. unlike finasteride's effect in blocking dht which wears of after some years if we stay in the same dosage of 1mg without upgrading to higher dosage in fear of side effects in our body?
You can not build a tolerance to vitamins or minerals, as far as I know.
So what Dr. said about green tea is right?
Hi Rob, I've noticed my hair loss for the last 18 months.
Actively been incorporating you're protocols of scalp massage, dermaroll & diet for last 7.5 months & visually I've stabilized hair fall.
Only introduced Nizoral 2% for last month and have noticed a row of vellus hairs along my hairline at last.
I know I'm not a hyper responder but I was happy to see that at last something is happening.
Wondering how long realistically it might take to see these turn into terminal hairs?
Congrats! Check out our video on results horizon (titled "Maybe I need more time for results" - Huge mistake). If you hit the end of those timelines without seeing the improvements you'd like, it might be worth layering in more powerful interventions (perhaps topical finasteride if you're looking to localize the effects of any pharmaceutical). Otherwise, if you're not regressing, I would personally continue seeing those timelines through to the end.
Is there any solution for one side eyebrow and hair loss with kinda infected scalp like skin comes out then it becomes oily
What about taking gelatin or collagen?
The zinc is correct in Androgenetic Alopecia. Only when applied topically as in zinc pyrithione shampoo
I noticed one of the options Dr. Berg covered was "Green Tea" but you didn't cover it in this video. Any reason why?
Hopefully becaus it just works, that's the one I was hinking of following anyway as it's the easiest lol
As a hairstylist and just from my observation I really don’t think no sulfate shampoo are great for most people especially not solely. Not cleansing the scalp and leaving dead cells product and co washing( washing with conditioner)… Ive seen people lose hair and develop scalp issues from this.
Imo a gentle good quality shampoo with some sulfates is better than non sulfate products unless you’re allergic to sulfates.
Thank you for bringing all this into perspective 👏
Thank you for this video; it was quite lengthy, but just as thorough. I find it refreshing to know that somebody's actually thinking, rather than simply assuming the "expert" has all of the answers.
I am applying some free advices from Dr Berg and I am not disapointed at all

Lately, I've also been having success with rosemary oil. My next step us to combine them, mostly onion juice with several drops of rosemary oil.
Many other people have used and said the same things Dr Berg has.
Thank you for your perspective.
I’m not understanding why quercetin would hurt the hair gains, as in increase dht?
Hi I started doing head messages and I was wondering how long should I do them a day ? also doing rosemary/mint water daily
Love your information. I agree with most all your view points. However we know fluoride does displace iodine and can potentially effect the thyroid. So nothing wrong with avoiding fluoride! Filters are cheap.
I would like to thank you for this great informational video, but why you did not cover number 2 on the list - GREEN TEA ?
Rob, what is your opinion using automatic scalp massagers such as TheraScalp? Should they be just as effective as manual hand massaging, less, more?
I find this more practical for me to use regularly, if it could yield the same results.
Thera Scalp is not strong enough to massage the scalp properly.
@@WordAboveAll can't I just apply more pressure with the device?
Im open to listening to you too,

I believe I learned that Dr. Berg is a chiropractor not an MD!!! Let’s be mindful and do our own due diligence.

Thanks! I'm not a fan of the typical reaction videos that demonize people with different opinions, which is why we like to use these videos as teaching opportunities more than anything else. We'll have more coming!

Stressful events are possible culprits as well. Berg's formula took 3 months to see initial results. I understand the timing is dependant on hair growth cycle. Simultaneously, I switched to healthy keto & lost 38 Lbs. I was 3 months in following a lot of Berg's advice & Dr. Stan Ekberg. Hope that helps someone.
thanks
The past few years I'd been seeing my hair falling out like crazy, my sink and tub was full of hair along with a dry, itchy scalp. I started massaging in Rosemary oil and fractionated coconut oil and the hair loss stopped immediately as well as the itching. It's only been a month or so but so far, so good.
I applied Dr Berg advices and it works super well for me
Could you direct me toward studies and remedies for seasonal based shedding? ( time stamp 32.42 chart)
I suffer from this for years and there is very little info about it.
It is always easier to bash someone, I did not hear any solution from you. Also it seems you confound yourself to only clinical studies, which are often not done with human health in mind. This video made me trust Dr eric bergs even more when other people want to break his advice down, with no alternative solution or advice.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I agree with you almost 100%. I found that Dr. Berg, in some areas, kind of shallow and using unreasonable extrapolations without supporting facts. I'm 77 years old scientist with PhD degree in Engineering Mechanics and at least 50 years experience in Aerospace and armor development areas, who is been struggling to keep my hair for at least 25 years using 5% topical Minoxidil. But lately I noticed extensive hair loss. Thus, I purchase his Hair Formula and results were catastrophic. I start losing much more hair and my scalp become really flaky. I sent him comments about it but did not got any response. Now, after watching one of your clips I decided to use your recommendation of combination of 5% topical Minoxidil, hair massage, microneedling, and 2% Ketoconazole Shampoo.
Fascinating. Love the detailed nuance. However he never covered Dr. Berg's recommendation on green tea.! So wondering...
Thanks! I know I skipped it… it’s a big topic so I’ll make a long-form video about it in the next few months!
@@PerfectHairHealth thanks I'm a new fan, and I'll drink green tea while I wait for your video 😆
@@PerfectHairHealth It's a bigge topic than all the rest? Hmm, interesting, sounds like it actually work and you want to think about it better:)
All Dr.Berg remedies worked for me..Great advise from Dr.Berg especially onion juice !! He is a great man great advise to me... you do your thing tho..
Thank you for being down to earth and not a jerk like haircafe
Thanks for checking out the channel! I hope the videos help you out.
@@PerfectHairHealth Why didn't you discuss insulin resistance and hair loss? Insulin resistance is a major factor in inflammation which as you point out, cause more DHT to be produced and estrogen to be converted into androgen
@@gerritkruger4014 we’ll have a video on this soon!
What about the green tea snub?
Thank you! ❤ My respects to you and to Dr Berg❤ Great video
Hey Mr. Doctor can you please tell me how to stop eyebrow loss in the left side hair as well eyebrow scalp seems also infected like i can remove the upper skin then it becomes so oily
What do you suggest for Celiac to regrow hair?
Thank you!
Enough with the semantics! Natural is always better! Nobody said natural remedies have no side effects, but perfecting your health with conventional wisdom is the best solution to any problem.
I had acne and oily skin after using finasteride... What do you think I should do? Although I got improvement in my hair after using it for three months. I'm scared that if I discontinue it all the improvements will be reversed . Just because finasteride disturbs the hormones that's why it happened to me?
Yes, with these drugs it has been shown that upon discontinuation most people lose all of their progress within a few months.
If I had your exact problem, personally I would take a lower does of finasteride or less often and combine it with the many others treatements existent: minoxidil, microneedling, scalp massages etc. They all show results.
I think it's hyper androgenecity happens for some
Why Go through the trouble to pick apart Dr. Berg's methods or recommendations ?
Unless an individual is on medications that would clash with natural remedies !
There should'nt be any harm in trying remedies that would be harmless to people who are
Not on medications ....So if it works and does no harm because it is organic and natural,
Why Knock it ???
Okay, I was on Keto a couple months ago and my hair thinned. I stopped Keto because of it. I have been on Finasteride for 6 years and it has worked well for me.
My question is, since the fast weight loss from Keto was a stresser that caused me to lose hair temporarily, will the hair come back in thinner strands given that I've been on Finasteride for so long?
Since you're on Finasteride, the hair miniaturisation should be really slowed down or paused, that would mean that hair should not be thinning.
The stress from Keto diet, or the diet itself, could've caused temporary hair shedding at a higher rate (Telogen effluvium) and it should become normal soon.
If it continues thinning then maybe applying Minoxidil 5% can help and a visit to the dermatologist.
Imagine Keto without finasteride...
A keto diet isnt the cause of hairloss. You just ate alot less calories, wich over time definetly can be a stressor. There is absolutely no explanation why keto might be bad for your hair
@@oranges557 actually hair follicles feed 70% on glucose and 30% on glutamine, so you can do your research and see that many people irreversibly lost their hair on keto try reading the comment sections on youtube of keto hair loss videos, or try looking at stephen phinney, primal health, stephan ekberg, bart kay, siim land, sverige, dr shawn baker, dr berg, etc, etc, etc, they are all bald or balding
@@unassailable6138 bro are you r*tarded?
You know thatbyour body produces glucose ALWAYS as much as you need from fats and amino acids? Hooooly sh*t, its mindblowing that people dont know that.
And most of these guys were bald before keto anyways. Its genetic.
Your ancestors have eaten a carnivoee diet for millions of years. That is enough to show that this statement is ridiculous
Where does your research or ideas now stand Rob? You seem to have started on the natural route in your earlier books, but now have succumb to drugs and dht driven causative. What is driving dht to miniaturisation ? Scalp tension , inflammation. I'm confused to where your research currently is. On the side note I've noticed more shedding since switching from a dermaroller to a pen. I'm now using 0.8 pen. I gather that shedding is a good sign as treatment is working.
Have you noticed any changes from research of people transitioning onto a pen from roller.
Thanks
I think that a natural approach can work for many people. What's important to me is that someone understands where any intervention ranks on the hierarchy of evidence prior to pursuing it, that they account for variables like hair loss speeds when making treatment decisions, and that someone sets clear timelines for evaluation when testing treatments so they can move toward better-supported interventions if they end up not seeing success with a regimen.
From 2014-2017, most of the articles I wrote focused on natural interventions - mainly because they had worked for me. When I started getting more involved in hair loss research and began publishing papers, I reflected on the site, and I didn't like that we were mostly serving individuals who had no interest in drugs or who couldn't tolerate them due to side effects. It felt disingenuous given all of the interventional data on certain drugs and how helpful they are for many people. I felt what would serve people the most would be to understand the importance of evidence quality, how to read scientific studies, and to ensure people had the tools to critically evaluate any therapeutic prior to trying it. That change has represented my shift in content ever since.
I am pro-evidential exploration, anti-condescension, and anti-tribalism. This means most of my positions are nuanced and often subject to misinterpretation from people on both sides of internet: the pro-drug camps and pro-natural camps.
In regards to scalp tension, I believe the data (from a mechanistic, observational, and interventional perspective) suggests it is an accelerator of AGA for the overwhelming majority of men, and perhaps a useful therapeutic target (via relaxation of the scalp perimeter muscles). I also understand the evidence on intramuscular botulinum injections ranks lower on the Oxford scale, and that more research needs to be done (we mentioned this several times in our literature review on the subject). But it's worth mentioning that there are 5+ studies measuring the spread of botox injected into the frontalis muscles of humans. They all show the toxin travels, at most, 10-15mm from its injection site and remains almost entirely within the muscle. Of the amount that does escape, it escapes into the veins which flow back toward the heart, not upward toward the scalp. This all strongly implicates that any hair count improvements from intramauscular botox are probably coming from the relaxation of the muscles themselves. Criticism of the hypothesis is warranted, and important. But that's where I currently stand.
I've not heard many cases of people switching from rollers to pens and experiencing more shedding. Usually it's the other way around. Depending on where you live, this might be some seasonal shedding related to springtime. I'm not sure!
@@PerfectHairHealth Wouldn't Botox injections freeze the muscle, instead of relaxing it? Any chance the few botox punctures work like minimalist roller? I didn't read the paper yet, so I don't know if they applied a placebo with needles as a control group.
Big fan of DR.ERIC BERG
Me too.
@C P have you guys done any of his suggestions and had success?
overrated.
@@sl4983 not at all
wrt ACV, since ACV helps the stomach acid, and increase nutrient absorption, doesn't it affect hair growth/loss?
If you've got nutrient deficiency-related telogen effluvium, it's possible. I haven't seen any studies suggesting that changes in stomach PH due to ACV consumption can enhance nutrient absorption in humans, but I don't disregard the absence of evidence as evidence against something. In any case, Dr. Berg talks about applying ACV directly to the scalp in this video. So the mode of delivery is a bit different.
@@PerfectHairHealth I've seen most of his live shows and he said in one show to apply onion juice on the hair directly and if anyone asks, never say he asked you to do so 😂😂...
Thank you
Thank you. I just about to try onion juice (MSM powder mixed with water on my scalp) but, nah, I’m not going to bother now😁❤🔥🇬🇧
Thank you for being the devil's advocate with science and context - This is certainly needed and helpful. Q - If one does Not take ferocetide (sp?) would the quercetin in onions lower DHT ?
The “protein” deficiency one is not clear. Rob uses the term “calorie deficiency,” which is different from protein deficiency. Also, what source of protein? Animal products? Beans and legumes? Etc.
Thanks Rob! Amazing stuff
Thanks, this really helps
What are the side effecting drugs please???
Nothing works for me. Dad bald as a bowling ball and I got the gene. Rogaine worked but my head itched so bad it made me insane so I stopped.
