Editorial Review:

Each year, men spend an enormous amount of time and money searching for a cure to male pattern baldness. Numerous psychological assessments indicate that the reasons behind their futile efforts are sound: attitudes toward bald men are overwhelmingly negative.From the first torturous attempts at hair implants early in this century to the faddish, well-hyped drug treatments of today, the extremes to which men have gone in an effort to regrow hair or cover their bald scalps are examined in this work. The various causes for baldness advanced by credible members of the medical establishment over the years are detailed, as well as instances of outright quackery prompted by numerous individuals and companies. Wigs, weaving, transplants, flaps and scalp reduction are among the techniques explained.

Editorial Review:

Studies show that male (and female) pattern baldness (while mostly genetic) can be reversed with special stimulus to the brain. The subliminal messages in this CD were created to reactivate the blood flow to the scalp and stimulate the cells to regenerate and build new hair growth. Your hair will begin to reappear and thicken within a few days of listening. Use this CD as directed and watch the hair begin to reappear! You'll be growing new hair even while you sleep. If you already have thinning hair, this is a great enhancer to regenerate a thicker, fuller head of hair. If you have had hair loss and baldness for a number of years, it takes a while to regenerate blood flow and cell growth within the scalp. But be patient. This powerful audio program will assist your hair in regenerating from the roots. It can effectively allow your scalp to re-energize and build a firm foundation for new hair growth. This subliminal product contains hundreds of positive affirmations recorded onto one relaxing CD. Although the words aren't audible, they are there and they are powerful! The affirmations are masked by beautiful music and soothing ocean waves. Meanwhile, as you focus on something else, or just while relaxing, the subliminal affirmations take hold in your subconscious mind. The affirmations are powerful and designed to bring about safe, healthy and permanent changes in your life. With so many subliminal products on the market, be cautious to purchase only REAL subliminal recordings with NLP (NeuroLinguistic Programming) affirmations. Proper production, recording, scripting, and duplication are vital in creating such a powerful product. Use only the BEST! Trust Mind Design technology and expertise.

Peters shows balding is part of a bigger health problem. 5 out of 5 stars.

Hair Loss Prevention shows that male pattern baldness and prostate problems are linked and that the vitamin, mineral, and fatty acid regimen which helps one is good for the other too, as well as for the condition of the skin (so women, too, can benefit from reading this book). It's excellent for immediate protective care of the hair (advice on shampoos, conditioners, brushing, etc.) as well as a long term healthy diet which should stop more hair loss.

Very outdated material 1 out of 5 stars.
6 of 9 people found this review helpful.

This book is very outdated in content and is of little use to present day hair loss sufferers. Don't waste the money on it like I did. You're better off reading a more thorough and accurate book. I personally found author Daniel Lawrence's new book on hair loss gave me the most up to date information on current treatments.

Very Helpful 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

A very helpful book. A ton of information packed into a small book. It not only explains natural treatment options, but how drug solutions work as well. Everything is explained straight and to the point. It would be a very helpful book for people just starting to experience hair loss.

Useful book but focused on one product 3 out of 5 stars.
15 of 20 people found this review helpful.

Dr Walker's book is about the usage of a certain product to stop hair loss. I was expecting more objective information; sometimes it looks more like publicity than a scientific review of hair loss treatments. Anyway, I rate it 3 stars because there are good chapters about what hair is, its phases, and nutrition advice. Compared to "The Bald Truth" by Spencer David Kobren, "Bald No More" comes second.

Keep your money 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I didn't think this book was very helpful. It was published in 1998 so the information is pretty old. As most people acknowledge, I would have to rate author Daniel Lawrence's "Ultimate Hair Loss Guide" as the best book you can presently buy concerning hair loss information.

And now, an award-winning medical journalist shares this exciting news in a practical, easy-to-follow program.
