4.0 out of 5 stars The essential guide to understanding and treating MPB, October 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bald Truth: The First Complete Guide to Preventing and Treating Hair Loss (Paperback)

The Bald Truth by Spencer Kobren is a well written wellresearched book. The author's knowledge and attention to detail isclearly evident throughout the book. He identifies and highlights perfectly the many and varied pitfalls which the balding guy can experience when looking for treatment. He is brutally honest which is refreshing especially when dealing with this sensitive topic. The major advantage of this book is that it equips the reader with the knowledge needed to make an informed choice on the particular treatment he/she wants to use. The one disadvantage regarding this book is that he fails to see the advantage of using Propecia in combination with Regaine (Minoxidal). His points on the latter drug are valid when used on its own. However his intuition should tell him that the drugs combined yield greater results than if either are taken on their own. However this is a small quibble about a book which one could entitle :The Bald Truth - The essential guide in understanding and treating Male Patten Baldness (MPB)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book,Great Radio Show!, July 14, 1999

This review is from: The Bald Truth: The First Complete Guide to Preventing and Treating Hair Loss (Paperback)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, March 14, 2000

By	Rick "[e-mail]" (Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bald Truth: The First Complete Guide to Preventing and Treating Hair Loss (Paperback)

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
