Book Description

1 Mar 2000
With the introduction of Propecia, the latest drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of male pattern boldness, regrowth of regular or "terminal" hair-- not peach fuzz-- is finally a reality. Yet thousands of products in the $7 billion-a-year hair-loss treatment and restoration industry claim their effectiveness, too. Now in "The Bald Truth", consumer advocate Spencer David Kobren offers the antidote to decades of hair-raising hype. In this comprehensive, authoritative book Kobren examines the largely unregulated baldness treatment industry and tells how, after years of research, he successfully treated his own hair loss and how you can too.

In "The Bald Truth" you'll learn about:

The latest in hair restoration-- including a thorough review of to breakthrough drug Propecia, and how it works

Now to keep from getting scalped by botched surgical procedures

How nutrition can supercharge treatment-- the diet that helps hair grow

The power of herbal treatments

Hair system-- what they are and where to find the good ones

Exploring case histories, the latest scientific studies, and now treatments in development, "The Bald Truth" proves that male pattern baldness can be combated-- and helps you make an educated decision about the best alternatives available today.

O'Tar T.

From the Author

About The Author
Spencer David Kobren is the Founder and Director of The Bald Truth Foundation, the only non-profit organization dedicated to consumer advocacy, education and funding research regarding hair loss. He is considered the country's most prominent and effective hair loss consumer/patient advocate. Kobren is the host of his own Nationally syndicated radio program and is a feature columnist on three of the most respected hair loss web sites including Regrowth (the primary Internet hair loss resource for ABC-TV, and The Wall Street Journal). Kobren and his work are the focus of an upcoming Discoverery Channel documentary also titled "The Bald Truth". His book, The Bald Truth; The First Complete Guide to Preventing and Treating Hair Loss is the # 1 hair loss prevention and treatment guide in the world. After years of researching hair loss and finally overcoming the early stages of his own male pattern baldness, which began more than ten years ago at only 22, he has dedicated himself to helping others prevent and treat hair loss. As a consumer advocate, he consults on issues of patient and consumer rights in this unregulated industry. Kobren lives in New York City. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not great 22 Mar 2010

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, I don't think this helped my son much, he'd been going bald since he was at uni and had been using Regaine a couple of years and desperately trying anything to help. Shortly after receiving this I think he gave up trying and shaved his head, and it's been like that a while now.

Mr Kobren - Kudos to you. I am tired of being ripped off by unscrupulous snake oil salesman. Your book has enlightened me and made me an aware consumer.

I am now regrowing my hair thanks to your informative, educational and outstanding exposure of the hair loss industry.

I recommend that every balding man and woman consult Kobren's hair loss bible before starting any costly and potentially damaging hair loss treatment.

You may find that only half this book is relevant to you - but it is still well worth purchasing. The author explains in clear rational language the processes of male pattern hair loss and how this can be controlled - with or without drugs. The sections on herbal reatment and the importance of diet are excellent - my own experience testifies to the effectiveness of these recommendations.
