 Modern science has told us 
 that it is genetic; why look? 
 That the Human Genome Project failed to turn up
 a.‘bald gene' has simply confused researchers.

geneticsthread in SoreEyes forum discusses a  .gov  è site
...paid for by taxes... that tacitly argues against  the NO 'bald gene' 
finding of the Human Genome Project. It simply doesn't mention it. Why?
Perhaps for the reason penned by my grandmother in a handwritten letter:
@Folklore says "balding comes from the mother."
 At the .gov site, an educator, MSc (Master of Science), 
 made this concluding remark: 

"In general, it is probably easier for scientists to secure funding for research 
  into serious medical conditions than for research into cosmetic situations 
  like baldness that do not have a huge impact on people's health."
  Huh?

  MENTAL HEALTH conditions...caused by baldness...are apparently inconsequential. 
  Also inconsequential, then, are the MILLION$$$ spent on wigs, hairpieces, reweaving,   transplants... Never mind economic and social opportunities denied because of "cosmetic   situations".   And what about Even babies are balding these days.

Some advertising STILL says it is genetic. Why?  $$$$$
 

Shouldn't VERY IMPORTANT science research 
paid for by taxes...the Human Genome Project...
be critiqued by verifiably ethical Scientists with PhDs?
Was this a fluke or a NEW .gov government activism
on behalf of chemicals, a MAJOR source of taxes
and election campaign contributions?
FDA does NOT regulate chemicals used in hair care 
products so...WHO, WHAT, WHY...was the motivation for 
minimizing the importance of the NO 'bald gene' finding?

News Media ought quiz that site's Director, a PhD, 
and the GAO (Government Accountability Office).

But  News Media WON'T ask questions as their 
chemical product AD REVENUES are huge.
Chemicals, 
   News Media, 
 and Government 
 are an axis of greed that is now, in effect, 
            The Cause of Baldness.
    The "axis of greed" 
     has been through this before:
  Until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1915, 
  chemicals in consumer products were not 
   investigated by the government at all. 
  LEAD, arsenic and mercury were common ingredients. 

  It took twenty years worth of documented medical complaints 
  to even get LEAD banned in the use of face paints; 
  an increasing number of women were ending up blind 
  or paralyzed; many more died.

  Beauty Culture," by Kathy Peiss

How long will it now take Congress to 
"get the lead out" of their asses ...again...
  and end balding and graying ???
It is precisely Congress' shameless greed ...in acceptance of 
chemical industry trinkets ("cost of doing business")... 
that yearly condemns tens of millions more to a lifetime 
of cosmetic degradation.

 Chemicalized babies are the rule, 
not the exception. 
Baby Shampoo with SLS strips floor wax. 
And baby product fragrances are chemical concoctions. 
It stinks; like smiling, cologned congressmen.

RETURN SLS
(Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)
 to what it does best:
degrease car & truck engines & garage floors.


A popular phrase at "genetic baldness" sites: 
"Genetic baldness is caused by the body's failure to produce new hairs 
and not by excessive hair loss. ..."

Hey, guys! Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is  THE primary cause 
of that "failure to produce new hairs". You've likely heard the contraceptive 
phrase popular before birth control pills: "Where salt goes, nothing grows." 
Guess what? "Where acid goes, nothing grows either."

Fortunately, fireplugs 
work without hair. 

    90 years after enaction of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1915
     DEADLY N CHEMICALS ARE STILL in Cosmetic and Hair Care products. 
     And AGAIN Hazards have been identified and reported...but NOTHING is being 
   done. Why?
SAME REASONS 
AS 100 YEARS AGO: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Government is still 
being bought out
by chemical companies 

and News Media still Smile all the way to the Bank 
but now with HUGE Profits from chemical product ads.


    Ask your Congressman 

    How long will it now take Congress to 

"get the lead out" of their asses ...again... 
and end balding and graying ???

    A "lead-pipe cinch" you'll be ignored. 
     A polite reply means "Get lost.": 

  "I'm truly sorry that your great-grandmother died from..."
An exampleì of "double-talk"; a Congressman's second language. They're all bilingual.

    Meanwhile, in the real world,

     LIKE YOU,
     most sellers of hair products & services 
     DO NOT KNOW 
    that balding and graying 
    NEVER HAD TO HAPPEN.
 BUT IT'S NOW OVER!

Forum member ayokay has a psychology degree which includes 
3 years of premed.  After only 18 months, 46 year old ayokay gave up on regrowing his hair and declared "going grunge" a failure. 

His remarks make clear that he seldom reads. Just below, there is 
a rebuttal excerpt by history graduate Cristove to ayokay. 

NOTHING in the forum suggests his goal??? of only 18 months was   possible. 3 years of premed? He should have taken 3 years of Remedial Reading.

Grandma always said 
Grandpa and his 
basset hound 
both had 
male pattern baldness. 
Side by side, they was 
sad to see but you'd howl.. 

Especially when Grandma 
put a bowl on his head 
so she could evenly 
trim the sides.

College students
could easily
END balding 
for EVERYONE:
Easy. Inexpensive.

 

 
          Excerpt  from Cristove rebuttal of ayokay's
        My 1 year experience...
Are teenagers now shampooing 20 times a day for some strange reason?” Not necessarily, 
but many are shampooing more often. We are bombarded by chemical agents and for teenagers 
the majority are targeted at hair. Gels, pomades, sprays, waxes—I’ve even had friends that use 
Elmer’s glue to spike. None of these products are good for your hair—in fact, until a decade ago 
many contained high levels of alcohol for fast evaporation-drying. I remember when that practice 
was stopped—because the industry actually admitted for a change that something was doing harm.

Again, I don’t have articles for proof; no pictures either. You challenge for statistician proof. 
Yet you accept that shampoo is a necessity for a civilized smell. Soap is not naturally occurring. 
It isn’t mined, it isn’t caught. It is manufactured. The fact that many scoff at the idea that it isn’t 
needed is proof! When did we decide that we MUST shampoo? From what I have been able 
to pin down, most of the hair care products we know today—indeed, most of our consumer 
products—arrived only in the 1920s with the birth of the consumer culture. If you disbelieve that 
I encourage Lynn Dumenil’s “The Modern Temper.” Not to be flamboyant, but I ask: what did 
the caveman shampoo with? You suggest balding for thousands of years; we don’t even have 
a system of writing that goes back more than three thousand. And don’t suggest the Egyptian 
glyphs—they most assuredly did not tell the conditions of life in ancient Egypt. From what we 
have been able to translate—and that isn’t very much, even with the find of the Rosetta Stone 
a lot is lost in the three step translation from glyph to Greek to English—mostly the hieroglyphics 
tell the births and deaths of kings with the occasional burial rite and major war or catastrophe.

As a final note, this I can testify to: “you wouldn't be walking around with hair plastered to your 
oily scalp.” I have not touched shampoo since June 25, 2003. Though I have not seen dramatic 
results, I have seen some. With regard to oil, and I believe most of the serious grungers here will 
agree with me, after no more than three months the increase of oil reached equilibrium and quickly 
dropped back to levels that were the same, if not less, than shampoo levels. If anything, I have 
days when I would like more oil, as I also quit my old use of pomade at the same time. In short, 
that you haven’t noticed this isn’t proof that you have been inconsistent or untruthful, but it does 
suggest to me that you have not been totally dedicated either.
