<p>I have some questions about DHT.<br />
1. Is this DHT necessary for our bodies? if yes then if we remove it, will it have any side effects? I am asking beacause somewhere I read DHT blocker’s may reduce semen in men.<br />
2. Once we remove DHT compleetly, will it appear again? I&#8217;m asking because can I stop taking anti DHT medicines?<br />
3. How would i will know I have high DHT level or low DHT level or I don’t have DHT at all?<br />
4. How long it may take to cure hairloss?<br />
5. Will my gone hair be back &#8212; is it possible?<br />
6. What are the steps to keep this DHT away from us?

<p>Hi Suhael and thanks for your questions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nicehair.org/reduce-dht">DHT</a> is responsible for the development of the male genitalia at a very young age and the characteristic changes boys go through during puberty — facial hair and body hair. However, it also causes hair loss later in life. This is far more likely to happen in men, who have more DHT than women. However women can still lose hair due to DHT and can also grow facial hair due to DHT — this often happens late in women’s lives.</p>
<p>It won’t make you less of a man if you inhibit the production of DHT in your body because we inhibit DHT without reducing testosterone levels — so your testosterone levels will remain unaffected. You shouldn’t take anti-DHT medicines because these do reduce your testosterone levels and essentially make you less of a man.</p>
<p>The best sign that you have removed DHT from the scalp, reduced your scalps sensitivity to DHT and reduced DHT production in your body will be an improvement in your hair — that’s really the only way you’ll know — but it should be fairly obvious as your hair starts to grow back. </p>
<p>You’ll need to do more than remove and reduce DHT to regrow your hair though. In my experience, most people don’t notice they’re losing their hair until they’ve lost almost 50% of it. By this stage you’re scalp is most likely in a dire state and will need some fairly extreme methods to get it back to peak condition — which is exactly what I explain in my eBook.</p>
<p>If you follow the instructions in my eBook you can stop hair loss in weeks. However it could take up to 6 months before you start to regrow lost hair. For some people it is much quicker. Stopping the hair loss is fairly easy. It’s regrowth that is difficult.</p>
<p>It is possible to <a href="http://www.nicehair.org/category/reactivate-dormant-hair-follicles">regrow lost hair</a>. You have to reactivate dormant hair follicles by feeding them and by alternating between mildly damaging your scalp and intensely nourishing it — which causes a massive increase in cell production, healing and growth in the scalp. The alternation keeps your scalp in a perpetual ‘growth mode’.</p>
<p>The eBook explains the steps that you need to take to permanently reduce your DHT levels without having to take any medication, supplements or follow any time consuming techniques on a daily basis. However, the instructions are not easy to carry out. Some are easier than others and you can achieve a lot with just the easy parts but it’s worth going the full flog, taking some time and properly completing the more difficult parts of the method.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nicehair.org/hair-loss-ebook">Download a copy from here</a> and if you don’t think you can do it, cancel your order via Google Checkout and you’ll get a full refund.</p>
<p>Keep me informed of your progress.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>Chris</p>

<p>How can I remove my DHT and balance hormones?</p>
</div>
<p>In the short-term you can reduce DHT levels by taking a saw palmetto supplement &#8212; see my <a href="http://www.nicehair.org/category/hair-loss-treatments">hair loss treatments page</a> for more information. However in the long-term there are several things you should do for optimal hormonal balance. These are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improve the efficiency of your liver</li>
<li>Increase your body&#8217;s &#8216;prostaglandin&#8217; levels</li>
<li>Reduce your stress levels if necessary</li>
<li>Make some minor changes to your diet for optimal hormonal balance</li>
</ul>
<p>By improving the efficiency of your liver you improve it&#8217;s capacity to deal with used hormones (which are processed by the liver). Prostaglandins regulate your hormonal balance. By increasing your body&#8217;s prostaglandin numbers using a natural whole food supplement you can help your body regulate your hormonal balance naturally.</p>
<p>If you suffer from high stress levels this can effect your hormonal balance, and vice versa. You can use our free stress reduction audio program to change the way you deal with stress, making you a calmer person in stressful situations.</p>
<p>In my eBook I explain how to normalize your hormonal balance to healthy levels by making some small changes to your diet. I also explain how to reduce DHT production and remove DHT from the scalp.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weight lifting can cause an elevation in testosterone levels. Most body builders know that increasing testosterone levels helps improve power, strength and endurance. This is actually how steroids work. Increasing testosterone has a positive effect on training performance but it can have a negative effect on hair growth.</p>
<p>Testosterone is a male hormone but it is also present (in lesser amounts) in women. Generally speaking the more testosterone in the body, the more extreme the male characteristics will be. If you look at a bull and a cow, the bull is far more muscular and far more aggressive. Both bulls and cows have the same diet. The difference is the bull has far higher testosterone levels.</p>
<h3>DHT: a by-product of testosterone</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s clear that men tend to experience hair loss more so than women. That is because men tend to have more testosterone in their body&#8217;s. DHT is a by-product of testosterone. In general, as we age, more DHT is produced from testosterone. DHT seems to cause hair loss and also body hair growth.</p>
<p>Some people&#8217;s hair is more susceptible to the effects of DHT than others. Some people&#8217;s body&#8217;s tend to produce more testosterone than others. Some people will experience more of an elevation in testosterone as a result of starting a weight lifting/body building routine, while others will not experience much of a change. And some people seem to produce more DHT from testosterone than others.</p>
<p><strong>So in answer to your question:</strong></p>
<p>Yes, weight lifting or body building may cause an increased rate in hair loss, IF you are one of the people who is both susceptible to the negative effects of DHT and your weight lifting/body building routine results in an increase in testosterone levels.</p>
<p>From what I know about body building, most people who work-out hard will experience an increase in testosterone but not a massive one. In fact there are many things that cause elevated testosterone levels.</p>
<p>For example, a study discovered that men whose football team won a match had more elevated testosterone levels after the game than the supporters of the losing team. This study shows that the mind is a key controller of hormonal balance and this is one of the key parts of my hair loss eBook.</p>
<p>It shows that it is possible to control your hormonal balance if you are able to take greater control of your mind and your feelings.</p>
<h3>In conclusion</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s my opinion that you don&#8217;t need to worry about the effects of body building on your hair, unless you are taking supplements that are designed to increase your testosterone levels. I don&#8217;t even need to say that you shouldn&#8217;t be taking steroids if you want to be healthy.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re taking steroids and you are one of the millions of people whose scalp is sensitive to DHT you will probably notice an increase in hair loss. Just don&#8217;t take them.</p>
<p>However if you&#8217;re not taking steroids and you&#8217;re working out pretty hard you should be OK, providing you&#8217;re following the instructions in my eBook – and so keeping your mind in the right place, keeping your body working at super efficient levels and keeping your scalp clear and free of DHT.</p>
<p>I work out as often as possible – about three times a week and I hit the weights quite hard. I&#8217;ve got a pretty muscular body – in fact I&#8217;m in great shape – low fat levels, good muscle tone. But I&#8217;m highly aware that with exercising and weight lifting you can do things the same way as everyone else or you can use your intelligence to get ahead of the game. And I&#8217;m fortunate enough to know about nutrition and how to gain the most benefits from food.</p>
<p>I hope this helps. Thanks for your question.</p>
<p>Chris</p>

		<title>You say that the effect of DHT is a reduction of the diameter of the hair follicle and hair shaft. My hair shaft is as thick as it&#8217;s always been. Does this mean that my hair loss is not caused by DHT?</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is likely that DHT is a factor in your hair loss. From my experience you are likely to notice loss of hair numbers before you start to notice the thinning of individual hairs; however it is likely that you will start to notice the thinning of individual hairs in time. As a male with hair loss, DHT is thought to be the most common cause.</p>
<p>I would recommend that you examine your scalp very closely under a good light. If you can see any abnormalities in the skin, or if the skin looks unhealthy in some way, email me back describing the symptom you have observed and I will advise you further. If you don&#8217;t notice any abnormalities from your visual examination of the scalp, it&#8217;s likely that DHT is your primary cause of hair loss.</p>
<p>I would also recommend giving your scalp a very good wash with a shampoo containing salicylic acid, in order to remove some of the dead skin cells to give your scalp a breather.</p>
<p>But in answer to your question; without any more information all I can tell you is that it is likely that DHT is a cause of your hair loss and if you don&#8217;t do anything about it now you will start to notice a reduction in the diameter of individual hairs over the next year or so.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for your question. The answer to this is a little more complex than you might think. There are foods that you can consume that inhibit the conversion of testosterone into DHT. But really, you don&#8217;t want to have to do that. Ideally you wouldn&#8217;t need to.</p>
<h2>The three factors that lead to excess DHT</h2>
<p><span id="more-238"></span></p>
<p>If you want to reduce DHT levels, your goals should be orientated around these three problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Poor liver efficiency / over worked liver</li>
<li>Hormonal imbalance</li>
<li>Stress</li>
</ul>
<p>If you have healthy hormonal balance you should have healthy DHT levels: levels that will not cause hair loss. So really, if you want to know what foods you need to eat/avoid to inhibit DHT levels, you need to know what foods you need to eat/avoid to attain healthy hormonal balance.</p>
<p>These would primarily be foods that detoxify and strengthen the liver and foods that rebuild prostaglandin numbers. Unfortunately it&#8217;s not as simple as “eat these foods twice a day for three weeks and your liver will be at maximum strength and your hormones will be perfectly balanced”. It&#8217;s more difficult than that. If you want to achieve these two goals you&#8217;ll need a specific well thought out programme, like the one in my eBook.</p>
<p>In my eBook I explain how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Detoxify and maximise the strength of your liver using a 28 day procedure</li>
<li>Balance your hormones by rebuilding prostaglandin numbers</li>
<li>Change the way you deal with stress to minimise hormonal surges</li>
</ul>
<p>While doing these three things will help reduce DHT levels by eliminating the underlying causes or excess DHT, I also show you several cheap foods you can consume to directly inhibit testosterone to DHT conversion by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.</p>
<p>You could simply use these foods to inhibit DHT levels but it&#8217;s far better to combat this problem at the source. There are several other things that you can and should do to reduce DHT levels: other factors that help improve hormonal balance. These are all explained in my eBook.</p>
<p>The eBook is a hundred pages long, yet it is written in very concise language, so it is jam packed with information. I don&#8217;t babble on in the eBook like I tend to do on this blog. The eBook is strictly hard hitting instructions that achieve results. So if you want to eliminate the underlying causes of hair loss, one by one, grab a copy today, while it&#8217;s still half price.</p>
<p>Thanks for your time and feel free to ask me any more questions.</p>
