Why accept it when they have clear, natural solutions to this dilemma? Don’t settle man.
I really don't have a great answer. However, going bald has been great for my health. I've always said (to myself): you can be fat and you can be bald, but you cannot be both at the same time. So, as my hair loss started a few years ago, I really started focusing on my overall health. I feel a lot better about myself today than I did 5+ years ago. As a result, the thinning hair doesn't really bother me.
After seeing your pics, we're in 2 different worlds. Your 'balding' head was a better head of hair than I've ever had--haha! I don't think there's a good enough doctor out there to help me.
