Stop the old wives tales please?

So many people experiencing hair loss come here for advice from everyday folks who have no real knowledge on the matter. These folks try and give well meaning advice but alot of the times they are doing a disservice to those in need by feeding them misinformation. It's true that there are different types of hairloss with different causes but the most common form of hair loss is Male Pattern Baldness- and it is NOT caused by poor nutrition, or bad hygene, or poor circulation or overactive sex drives so PLEASE get that out of your head right now. MPB is genetic, end of story and leaves no room to point fault or blame on the inflicted individuals. As far as solutions go there are the big 3- rogaine (topical), Propecia (oral) and Nizoral (anti inflamatory shampoo). At best, the big 3 are preventative measures to prevent further hair loss but are by no means a cure for baldness. A fully bald man with a horseshoe will never recover a full head of hair from any of these products and hair transplants can't promise a full head of hair to a fully bald man because there is usually not enough donor hair to fill in the void. There is currently no cure for baldness, only inferior treatments and success with follicular cloning is elusive and is many years away from being commercialized. I just wanted to clear the air and let anyone who will listen know that these old wives tales only contribute to the negative stereotypes and stigmatization that us bald men feel. It's dammaging and really isn't helping.Stop the old wives tales please?
i,am with you on this 1 friend. i,am bald on top and it runs on both sides of my family so regardless what these magazines say, there is nothing out there that can grow hair. you just have to deal the cards that were gave to you.
