My Progress

I already went a bit into the story behind this all in the "My Story" category. As mentioned before this was to be my last experiment before giving up and getting a transplant as so many had before me. Since I never responded to Minox, RU and didn't get any temple regrowth from Dutasteride either it seemed unlikely I'd ever get my dead temples back. I would say I was somewhere around the NW2-NW3 region.

Here's a shot before I started anything related to the Prostaglandin Protocol:

And two from the side as most of my progress pics were shot that way:

My Protocol needed two things which were hard to replace, a way to lower PGD2 or block its receptor, and a way to significantly increase my PGE2 expression or introduce straight external PGE2 through a vehicle. The other points I could address by other means. A groupbuy was started for Seti and straight PGE2 powder. It was relatively hard to finish and got delayed due to people dropping out and other bullshit. Funny enough when people first approached Kane after hearing of our Seti GB Kane would tell them that "Seti needs a special modified version or the stomach acid would destroy it" and that people should buy his OC instead. Which is a complete lie as is clearly visible in the Kythera documents. After we were at about 90% participation in the Seti GB Kane would suddenly announce that he now would be selling Seti anyway (and never again was a word spoken about it having to be some special version ). He first claimed to be able to get it cheaper than our price, then increased his price, and a few weeks later again increased his price to double what we had in our GB. Good old chinese cut throat tactics. And some people are actually dumb enough to fall for it. (I will continue this story and more in the category "On Scammers")
Anyway. I was stuck without Seti and without PGE2 for a while.
So I started looking for alternatives and eventually found some. I added them as I went along, trying to replace those two missing components as best I can with a ghetto protocol. People who think this is a "kitchen sink" approach are entirely wrong and should be laughed at. You need to address 4 different points for real hair growth. Miss one base and you're unlikely to get anything. That's why these pessimistic idiots keep hoping for that one silver bullet, which indeed does not exist. You need the full package. Don't like it? Too bad, that's the way it is.

As mentioned above, I was looking for alternatives and gradually found and added them to the approach. One of the first big ones was, hilariously enough, castor oil. It contains up to 90% ricinoleic acid which activates one of the four PGE2 receptors (real PGE2 activates all four). So that was my first brick stone to lay down. I even took some Castor orally each day, but only enough to not have a laxative effect. This slightly darkened my hair over the weeks and months, and it even had somewhat of a hypertrichotic effect on my bodyhair in general. It even increased the length of my eyelashes. Crazy stuff. Eventually I added Sulfasalazine which systemically skewes the Prostaglandin H2 expression more towards the PGE2 side than the PGD2 one. It's a very poor man's approach to lowering PGD2 . Oh and another thing, I keep reading how some people obsess about PGF2a (Bimatoprost). Let me tell you now why that's stupid. Real PGE2 is way stronger and it actually turns into PGF2a afterwards. So you not only get a double whammy you also get it cheaper and stronger. (I will post my diagram of how Prostaglandins work and metabolize in the category "My theories")

So as I said, I kept adding stuff as I went along to make up for those missing pieces. After around 3-4 months after first starting the protocol I began to see some tiny first results. Funny enough due to the various internal stuff I take it even affected my frontal hairline where I didn't use any topicals.

Here you can see some tiny bits of hair sprouting, even along the hairline. The redness is from having dermarolled a day before which is another important part of the Protocol. You can see some hypertrichosis above my eyebrows, it's from the internal castor oil. You can also see how my hair darkened a bit, but it's not as extreme as shown since it's shot in a different lighting. It's a bit of a crappy pic since I was surprised to see all those hairs and shot it quickly to show it to the other guys at PHG.

This was shot at the 4 month mark. Specifically on 01.07.2015:

I further tweaked the protocol, added and removed some things. Tried to get better lighting. This one specifically marked the day when I added UVB sunburns to further increase endognous PGE2 expression. The big red mark is from that.

This was shot two weeks later on 16.07.2015:

Another two weeks later, results increased enormously and I tried especially hard to get a good shot. I combined four different pics for this. This one really marked a milestone in that the results were now finally visible by naked eye from a normal distance. The makeshift approach paid off.

This was shot on 25.07.2015:

Another two weeks later, results kept getting better, shot on 12.08.2015:

And after yet another two weeks, some minor tweaking of the protocol there was even more improvement. This was shot on 04.09.2015:

Another update. Combined four shots cause I wasn't satisfied with the focus/lighting of any of them. This was shot on 20.09.2015:

As you can see, the new hairs are:

1. Pigmented
2. Way thicker than vellus hair
3. Way longer than vellus and keep increasing in length
4. Increasing in overall hair density from pic to pic

I have just received my Seti a few days ago and can now get rid of some of the makeshift products. No doubt the real deal will work even better. To be honest I'm already very satisfied with the speed of my regrowth and the results, but why not strive for the best?

I will most likely post a new pic this weekend since it's almost been another two weeks.


There we go another update. Didn't have a lot of time to get the shots right so I simply took one and rotated it to get it as close to the last one as possible. What happened since? I've been on Seti for about two weeks now. I've since received some Cloprostenol and started using it a few days ago. I'm also going to stop Sulfasalazine next week since I have Seti now.

To the guys claiming to not be impressed. Where are your results? To the guys claiming "it's not possible", how come neither RU, Dut, Minox nor anything - including those years of using different experimental treatments grew anything on those temples that have been bald for almost 9 years? Yet how come my theory set into a practical approach did? Even on a shitty makeshift approach. 

Let's have some real talk. The majority of those chest thumping forum celebrities are nothing but empty talk. They thrive on the little attention given to them by the less educated because they have nothing else in their lives. They don't understand half of the studies they cite, none of them ever had results outside of the good old "big 3 combo" and everyone eventually ended up with a hair transplant. And to you guys ripping off all those suffering from hairloss with overpriced products. To you guys lying to people and making money off of their problems. I sincerely hope you get ball cancer you scum of the earth.
