not the right place to post i know, but since this is the most latest article posted as of now, it might be the most suitable to get yall opinion.

Honestly with all this MPB controversy, i have some theory floating around in my head which is basically a combination of the skull expansion theory and the DHT/androgens theory. i think that the MPB form of baldness occurs because the bones located at the scalp grow out till the point that the scalp skin is not able to provide enough elasticity, especially the bones located in the middle of the upper scalp, they start to become dome shaped/ like a mountain, it is this thightness which creates an uncomfort for the skin, and lets the body signal to send DHT/androgens to the area as an anti-inflammatory, but eventually the androgens get stuck at the tight bone areas causing an extensive heating of the area (+ fibrosis/calcification), where the result is that the skin gets damaged because of these androgens in a crowded bone area, and the hairs eventually come blood and oxygen short

it could also be that the androgens freely floating in the body, once they come in the upper scalp areas via the nerves, they realise that it is too crowded there, and they have a hard time of moving forward (through the nerves), then they become stuck and create the skin heating which results in excessive sebum (the skin is being pushed tightly together hence the sebum glands aswell), and fibrosis/calcification starts to occur. this might explain the shape of baldness, it starts at the widow peaks because this is the first place the androgenes realize that they have a hard time going forward through the nerves (because of the bones going through high till the point that blood flow becomes very sparse)

wouldnt a possible solution for this be to lower the bones at the upper scalp with the help of surgery? basically getting rid of the peak mountain shape by making that bone contact point flat?

looking out to opinions/valuable information

Do you feel any burning sensation applying ACV after dermarolling? Because ACV is very acidic!

Garlic has been shown* to be as effective as finasteride in dealing with BPH. We know MPB is connected to BPH, so if something works for BPH it might work for MPB.

I usually do 2 parts water, 1 part ACV. Yes the smell is horrible which is why I’ve had issues sticking to using it.

Here are some observations using ACV: I’ve tried massaging my scalp massage for 20 minutes and then applying ACV and going to bed with it in my hair. Pros: By the next morning my hair generally looks a bit firmer and has a healthy bounce to it. Cons: That terrible smell of ACV.

I dermaroll my entire scalp with a 1.5mm dermaroller once a month and apply ACV afterwards. When I do this my hair generally looks like crap for about 2-3 days but by the 4th day my hair starts looking really healthy and shiny.

Also something else I notice is anytime I leave ACV on overnight and use my Laser Helmet the next day my hair always looks and feels great. ACV seems to have a great synergy with LLLT (Or at least the kind of Laser Helmet I have). Rob do you think ACV could have some slight Anti-Calcification properties?
