Summary: helping the balds while advertising
Review: Eight years ago I began to lose my hair and I bought and tried every product available on the market but there were more hops than results. However, when I read "The Bald Truth" I focused my attention to Finasteride. And now after six month of using it, my hair-loss stoped and new hair is growing in my head, really! That's why I'm proud to say that this is the best book I've read over the matter, thanks to Mr. Kobren

Summary: Save Your Hair & Your Money
Review: I disagree with the author. First, Propecia grows hair in one area at the expense of another. Spironolactone has been proven to stop the growth of hair. DHT does not cause hair loss. Spencer does not even mention the nutrient theory of baldness and how many people have been regrowing scalp hair by removing body hair, allowing nutrients to get to the scalp. Can you tell me what it takes to grow scalp hair if not androgens? Ernie

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I have purchased both Bald Truth books (the first edition is currently out of print) and found a great deal of useful infor- mation that was laid-out in a organized and useful fashion.Kobren offers a rational and relatively unbiased approach to the subject a baldness (primarily male pattern)and emphasizes dietary change and supplements which I have adopted. Although I have currently not started taking the drug propecia (which is covered in the book) my hair loss has stopped (I am not currently losing any more hair and I think my hair density has actually increased). I recommend this book to anyone who is serious about beginning a regimen to combat MPB.

Summary: Great Book,Great Radio Show!
Review: I've been listening to Spencer Kobren's radio program "The Bald Truth" through his web site www.thebaldtruth.org for about four weeks. At first I was a bit skeptical, but after listening to the way he fielded people's questions I realized that this guy is for real. So I decided to pick up his book. WOW, I was truly impressed with what this young guy has been able to accomplish! I'm 44 years old and have been losing my hair for what seems like an eternity. After reading The Bald Truth I truly felt that there may be help for me yet. It's a fast, easy read, packed with information that all of us suffering with hair loss need. If you are concerned with hair loss Spencer is definitely the guy to turn to! I've read the other reviews and would also like to say THANK YOU to Mr. Kobren for understanding that this subject is so important to so many millions of us. Keep up the fine work!

Summary: Ignore the TV ads and read this
Review: Like many of you, I've wasted a lot of money on products I knew (deep down) really couldn't work. This book discussed them, but more importantly it discusses what really works. I've taken the step of surgery and now 2+ years later I'm happy every day I comb my hair, my real hair. My doctor recommended this book (he's mentioned in it, Shapiro). Don't let the details of surgery scare you, it's nothing and this book shows you how simple (but time consuming) it is.

Summary: A Truly Inspirational and Informative Book!
Review: This extremely well written book is truly The First COMPLETE Guide to Preventing and Treating Hair Loss. Kobren's approach is quite refreshing. He provides the reader with every thing he/she needs to make an informed decision about combating hair loss. After reading his book I had a better understanding of what my options were and what to avoid. I was able to relate to his personal struggle which gave me a sense of kinship with the author. I think that his efforts have already had a profoundly positive impact on this insidious and parasitic industry. I was horrified to see what had happened to The Hair Restoration Casualties and was left with a feeling of empowerment after putting the book down. I refer to it almost on a daily basis. It's much easier to turn to this handy guide than to search the net for info which is usually conflicting. Kobren takes a strong stand and tells it like it is. He doesn't pull any punches and that's what makes this book so powerful. I recently began to listen to his radio program in LA. His sincerity is at times overwhelming and adds to his credibility. His delivery is both inspiring and compassionate. Even though he tries to bring new subject matter to each show he is still willing to go off topic to answer all the questions that come his way, no matter how silly some may be. He treats people with the utmost respect and ads a sense of dignity to talk radio that is seldom heard. I admire this man more than mere words can say. He has been able to bring attention to this devastating problem in a way that no one in history has ever been able accomplish. He has answered my countless e-mail questions with intelligent and enlightening answers. I want to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Kobren for what he has done. He has provided me with hope and I can't thank him enough. I know it's been said here before, but God bless you Spencer. If you believe in karma, your in for a wonderful life. If I could give it TEN stars I would!
