Hi vElan: Thank you for the baldness cure. I am not really really bald (yet); but do not want to get totally bald! Am going to try your remedy! Wish me Good Luck! :)
By the way, there is a saying in one or more of the Indian languages that there is no remedy for jealousy and baldness!
good luck RD... my thoughts on this... usually they say honey will make the hair grey... but I guess being grey is better than being bald.
here is another tip

Reg. baldness :
I know two cases of my relatives who tried Rogaine & it worked w.r.t hair growth / control of hair-loss.
But, caused very bad side-effects! (One of them reportedly suffered significant loss of "maRRa" interest & it led to family problems).
Rogaine - Strongly recommended NOT to use.
OTOH, at one point of time, when another (close) relative suffered severe hair loss (would have become bald shortly), the following treatment was suggested by some and IT WORKED! I'm an eye-witness to this and so strongly recommend it.
Warm a small bowl of olive oil, add a table spoon of honey & mix a tea spoon of pattaippodi with it (cinnamon powder, costs < $5 for half pound at Sams club) to make a paste.
Apply this paste to the scalp / hair-roots / hair and let it do the magic for 15 minutes, before bathing (smells nasty when the person with this applied is around, I'm a nose-witness to this, so warn others at home).
There's a catch - you got to continue doing this week after week:-)
But then, if you want your hair, keep doing...when you're tired, go for wig:-)

Not sure about what this mean, but just guessing it . If my guess is right, surely this would have been mentioned in the side effects leaflet that comes with the drug. :huh:Quote:

"That" wasn't claimed in the drug-side-effects but the fellow was pretty normal prior to this treatment :wink: So, interpretation :-)
It does affect harmones and in the case of many women, resulted in growth of facial hair :oops:, in addition to thalai hair.
So, there is a possible connection to the gender-related interests...(interestingly, the stores sell male & female versions of this drug :lol2:)
boss... testeratone is the male harmone which is responsible for the 'things' and when testeratone runs high in ur body, hairfall starts.. so the medicines mostly try to control the testeratone level in our body to increase hair growth and u know where this balancing would affect...
I know, in UK they sell a product called Regaine, which has a certain dosage of minoxidil, and yes it does have some side effects. Apparently it promotes Estrogens (Female hormones) in men, while in women it promotes (testosterones), :shaking: " this will explain the reason behind facial hairs for females :oops:Quote:

It is not testosterones, that causes hair loss, it is Dihydrotestosterone also known as DHTQuote:

app's treatment also involves honey :boo:
ok, here is one more tip, this time with only one ingredient - poojiyam :lol:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...60965000_n.jpg
I was worried about baldness like when I was thirty years old (9 years ago), but over the time after pulla kutti, I stopped bothering. All these alternative remedies are subjective. Some work, some don't, there is no specific formula for entire human being. We are individulas with individual dna, gene, lottu losukku.
Anyway, I got query here. My left hand finger tips are slightly numb. Just the tips. Very weird. You guys got any idea what might be wrong? Oru side-la stroke varum ariguriyO-nu tonuthu.
Exactly, not everything will work for every oneQuote:

Param,
I think groucho is asking what are the "pre-arrival" symptoms of stroke :-)
(Your list seems to be "post-arrrival")
Could be related to environmental temp...or due to the prior-night's liquid diet :lol2:Quote:

It's possible the nerve network controlling your fingers has some issue or the control point in the brain where the nerves end...Or, it could be even lack-of-sufficient-blood-supply to the finger tips themselves.
In any case, checking BP / controlling it always helps :-)
Oh Appadiya :)Quote:

•Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
•Vomiting
•Seizures (in a small number of cases).

The only exercise move you'll ever need
Good video!
Thank you so much, Raghu, app. Definitely no stroke signs. I shall massage my fingers get the blood flow going. nalaikku innum irunthuchunA, I shall consult a doctor. Thanks again guys.
by the way, app, I have experience numbness before due to my sleeping patterns, I sleep sideways with one hand under the (double) pillow.
That would explain it ! When you put your hands under the pillow with your head squeezing your hands, you are indeed redcuing blood circulation.Quote:

venkkiram, you also have a point. Sila pala sympthoms of thyroid theriyuthu...okay, daakterrrrrrooovoooooo......thanks mate.
oru vishyaththa paththi pEsina, naalu pEru, naalu vidhaama sollanum. Here's my take:
Me got the numbness-in-left-hand problem (especially fingers) for about six months now (on and off). I did a bit of reading on the net and kinda concluded that it could be due to excessive strain on the nerves entering the palm, caused mainly due to repetitive stress from daily actions like typing, lifting heavy objects at work (say a stout female colleague), etc. Muththi pOchuna, it could lead to what is known as Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).
At one point, the pain had aggravated and reached all the way up to my shoulder - quite a terrible feeling, I must say. I then got myself a simple wrist band (think power lifting) and started using it whenever the pain shot up (only for 5 mins or so each time). It basically helps in reducing the wrist from bending frequently (which causes the nerves to constrict) thereby reducing the pain and numbing significantly.
KV, PM plis...

This is a general "myth" amongst Tamilians! If one eats healthy foods, exercises regularly, keeps away from toxins (Alcohol, smoking, drugs) and lives a stress free life, there is a less need for regular checkups.Quote:

In fact, after 40, most insurances in U.S. cover a number of tests without any co-pay/deductible kind of charges to the person (e.g. mammography, pap smear).
Also, Param, "prevention is better than cure" applies to both cases.
i.e. the method suggested by you (healthy life style)
or
the method suggested by healthcare industry (test / screen / aware / beware)
I would strongly advocate going for regular check-ups. We can live as healthily as possible, but there are genetic concerns too. I know of my guys who led a fit life but who died unfittingly. :)
So Are you saying hormone changes take place after 40 +? I understand people loose muscle mass as they age and their metabolic rate drops done significantly as well as a reduction in bone mass, but does that mean they need check ups? Sorry I don’t get it. :roll:Quote:

I know of a few who were lean but got killed by heart attack in 30's, the possible reason being smoking / stress).Quote:

The fact is most food materials that come to stores are produced by all kinds of chemical / genetic / technological manipulations - over which most people on the planet have no control!
This is in addition to the already imperfect bodies people inherit from their parents ; being surrounded by polluted environment ; stressed by things over which one has zero say (think of the relatives of those who got burnt in the thamizhnAdu express, what control they had over the fire?).
So, bottom line, at the slightest indication (sometimes even without symptoms, simply periodically) - carry out some tests :-)
True, Only scan/blood test can reveal such illness :|Quote:
