Editorial Review:
With the introduction of Propecia™ the drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of male pattern baldness, and Rogaine™ 5%, regrowth of regular or "terminal" hair -- not peach fuzz -- is finally a reality. Yet thousands of products in the $7 billion 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 the breakthrough drugs Propecia and Rogaine 5%, and how they work
* how 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 systems -- what they are and where to find the good ones
Exploring case histories, the latest scientific studies, and new treatments being developed, The Bald Truth proves that male pattern baldness can be combated -- and helps you make an educated decision about the best alternatives available today.

Rating:  - Much better than the truth about women's hair loss
If you have to choose between this book and the women's hair loss, choose this one. This book covered much more ( maybe that is because so much research is done for men rather that women at this point).
I still think many resources are in your best interest, and this book should be added to the list of were you get your information.
I have decided to go natural at this time, because I would want any future children of mine not to be born with defects. I am currently using the herbal ... Read More
Rating:  - It's a simple book not very comprahensive
I got this book 2 weeks ago and could read end to end in few hours. I would say all the info available in this book is very easily available on the internet from pretty authentic websites. As I have been browsing on this topic for last few weeks I knew most of the content. On Rogaine the book covers hardly one page, where I would have liked statistics, growth charts, intial shedding details, pictures etc. On propecia this book is pretty extensive as like many it recommends propecia as primary defence. ...

Rating:  - Excellent source for valuable info on hair-loss treatment options
This is a very well researched source of information on various types of hair-loss treatment. The author speaks from experience with successfully combating hair loss after extensive research on various products. I think that makes the book more credible than the self-promoting product sites out there. The author covers virtually all of the effective methods of hair loss treatment, including Propecia, herbal suppliments, topical solutions (monoxidil etc), hair transplants, and more. A must buy for all those ... Read More
Rating:  - Disappointing
This book is largely a regurgitation of the very limited information that is already widely available. Reading it was superfluous. Most of what Kobren covers is cosmetic management of the problem; the advice on diet applies only to the worst lifestyle offenders, and he paints finasteride (Propecia) as a panacea, which it definitely isn't. The book is thin, both physically and in terms of content.
The irony is that Kobren claims to be a debunker and "consumer advocate", and this book is supposed ... Read More
Rating:  - Save Your Hair & Your Money
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
