I am a self-employed builder and Barbara is my business partner and wife. She helps keep the little enterprise on track. Now just quietly, between you and me, old Barb can be a bit of a nag and when I started experiencing male pattern baldness… well the nagging got a bit much. You see, I took to wearing a hat to hide it and Barb did not take too kindly to me wearing it inside and to be truthful everywhere else I went. Neither of my brothers or my Dad had experienced my problem. I just thought I had drawn the short straw when it came to the distribution of my genes.
Now when Barb gets onto something she does not stop until she finds a solution but it was not my problem which triggered her in to researching baldness it was her own. I suggested she wear a hat but I guess this was not so tactful because… well the look I got said so! Every night when I got home from work she fed me a little titbit of information she had gleaned.
“Barry, did you know you suffer from male pattern baldness?” Well I did not know this but good old Barb told me that it could be caused by age, testosterone or heredity. She also told me twenty five percent of men experience this problem and about two-thirds of these men are bald or are displaying a balding pattern by sixty. I wondered how many of those men had a wife like Barb. Were they being force-fed information while they were eating their dinner? “Barry, did you know Saw Palmetto is not only useful treatment for prostate cancer but for baldness as well?” You guessed right, I did not know this either but Barb made sure I know now. You see the extract lowers the level of the hormone DHT, the culprit which chokes the hair follicles making the hair fall out. “Barry, did you know I found a product to help you?”
Sure enough Barb showed me two small bottles of Provillus for Men, one containing a topical solution and one with vitamin supplements. The topical solution contains an FDA approved ingredient called Minoxidil. This aids in fighting off the hormone DHT. The bottle containing the supplements contained an assortment of minerals and vitamins including the Saw Palmetto, which help promote healthy hair growth. Barb had my hat off before I knew it and was rubbing the lotion into my head. Of course then came the tablets and now after using this daily for some months I can see an improvement. Sure there is a few bits of my scalp where nothing will grow again but the rest is doing okay. I leave my hat at the door now because I really do prefer the quiet life.
