BREAKING: MIT scientists prove "Male Pattern Baldness" is a $3.5 billion LIE

It's not genetic. It's not hormonal

It's MITOCHONDRIAL - your scalp is aging 6x faster than your skin

Big Pharma has been hiding the truth for 40 years

And we have the RECEIPTS

🧵
Hair loss ISN'T caused by DHT or genetics.

It's an energy crisis in your scalp called "Energetic Alopecia."

And there's only ONE thing in the world that directly fixes it.
First, answer me this:

Name ONE historical figure (pre-electricity_ who went completely bald before ~65

Caesar? Norwood 3-4

Napoleon? Hair intact

Every founding father? Thick manes into old age

"Male pattern baldness" wasn't even in medical books before 1950

What changed?
1950: Fluorescent lighting invaded every office
1960: TVs in every home
1970: We started bathing in electromagnetic fields
Today: You're under blue light 16 hours a day Image
Look at this paradox that destroys everything you've been told...

Hair loss is EXPLODING (12% in 1980s → 50%+ today)

While DHT levels are PLUMMETING (120 ng/dL → below 40 ng/dL)

If DHT caused hair loss, we'd see LESS balding, not MORE.

So what's going on? Image
Image
Every finasteride prescription is based on a LIE

The real culprit has been hiding in plain sight...

Ask WHY Male pattern baldness ONLY attacks one specific area: the galea aponeurotic

This dense connective tissue stretched over your skull becomes an energy wasteland.

Not from hormones. From mitochondrial FAILURE.

And men's anatomy makes us sitting ducks...Image
Men have:

- Prominent brow ridges creating tension
- Larger neck muscles pulling constantly
- Less fat cushioning the scalp

We're BUILT for this energy crisis

But it's not a death sentence... Image
It's ENERGETIC ALOPECIA - your follicles are literally starving to death at the Mitochondrial level.

And we can prove it with 2 groundbreaking Studies
Groundbreaking 2022 research exposed the TRUTH

Hair follicles from balding men showed:

- DEAD mitochondria (your cellular power plants)
- 70% less ATP (cellular energy)
- Massive oxidative stress Image
The death cascade:

- Complex I activity: DOWN 40%
- Complex IV: DOWN 46%
- ATP synthase: DOWN 25%

Translation: Your hair factories have no electricity. Image
When researchers inhibited Complex I further?

Cell death markers went up 280%.

This has nothing to do with genetics. It's an energy crisis.
Your mitochondria control DHT production through cellular energy.

When they're damaged and desperate for energy, they crank up NADPH - the exact cofactor that converts testosterone to DHT. Image
DHT then shows up like a construction crew at a disaster site

It calls in immune cells and starts emergency remodeling of your scalp, like when you form scars after getting a wound

This of course causes a buildup of scar tissue in the follicles over time Image
Layer after layer of collagen gets dumped until you get dat der shiny, reflective dome.

The follicles didn't just die - they got BURRIED in scar tissue Image
The vicious cycle destroying your hair:

Scalp tension → Low oxygen → Inflammation → Scar tissue → LESS blood flow → MORE hypoxia

The Truth No One Is Realizing: DHT is just cleanup crew responding to the disaster.

And 99% of treatments ignore the REAL problem...
STUDY #2 (2024) - The NMN Bombshell:

Researchers gave dying follicles NMN (NAD+ precursor).
Results:

- Cell survival: 60% → 100%+
- Complete fibrotic damage reversal
- Follicles resurrected like nothing happened

They literally brought dead follicles back to life. Image
The mouse experiment that shocked everyone:

Stimulated hair loss in mice and, treated with

- Exogenous DHT (to simulate similar inflammatory and immunogenic balding)
- Minoxidil (Rogaine)
- NMN (NAD+ Cofactor)

- Day 5: NMN mice growing hair, DHT mice bald
- Day 10: NMN mice had fur, DHT mice had fuzz
- Day 15: NMN mice fully recovered

NMN = Better Minoxidil without the heart problems.Image
Image
Recap:

DHT shows up because your follicles are injured and can't heal.

It's not the problem; you can think of DHT as paramedic arriving at a disaster scene.

When mitochondria can't produce ATP, DHT tries to force healing through fibrosis.
The inflammation bomb DHT triggers:

- IL-6: UP 10,000%
- IL-1β: UP 1,600%
- TNF-α: Through the roof
- NF-κB: Master inflammation switch ACTIVATED

But NMN shut down EVERY inflammatory signal.
Complete reversal at the genetic level.Image
Image
Growth signals destroyed vs restored:

VEGF (master growth factor):
-With DHT: 1,500 pg/mL (starvation)
-With NMN: 3,771 pg/mL (abundance)

That's 250% more growth signal.

NMN literally reprograms follicles from "die" to "thrive."
The genes get reversed:

- DKK-1 (suicide gene): DOWN 75%
- β-catenin (survival): UP 125%

NMN/NAD+ doesn't just stop damage.

It reverses the entire death program.

Your follicles want to live. They just need energy. Image
Image
Why Men are balding at 25:

- Blue light destroys Complex I
- nnEMF disrupts electron transport
-No NAD+ = No ATP
-N o ATP = No DNA repair
-O xidative stress explodes
- Inflammation cascade begins
- Follicles enter death spiral

Your scalp is aging 6x faster than the rest of your skin.
The DHT Paradox Nobody Understands:

DHT is a PARACRINE hormone - made and used locally in tissues. Serum DHT tells you NOTHING about what's happening in your scalp.

Here's the mindfuck:

DHT is created ON DEMAND during oxidative stress

A woman could have MORE scalp DHT than a bodybuilder on gear

Either could have SKY-HIGH scalp DHT with ZERO hair loss

IF the root causes aren't there.
Women get "male pattern baldness" too. Men with single-digit DHT still go bald.

Because the REAL issue is energetic and immunogenic crisis in the scalp. Image
Image
Meanwhile, what's Finasteride doing?

Meta-analysis of 1,261 users:
68% quit within 3 years

33% had ZERO response
<50% saw any regrowth

This is why blocking DHT isn't even the best solution for hair loss (ignoring the obvious mood, cognition, strength, sexual function, and fertility impacts)

DHT and it's NEUROSTEROID metabolites are necessary for metabolic, reproductive, cognitive, and emotional wellbeingImage
Image
Image
The solution isn't attacking DHT.

It's fixing the ROOT CAUSE: mitochondrial destruction

When NAD+ crashes (blue light/aging/stress):
- No Complex I function
- No ATP production
- No DNA repair
- Gene chaos

Game over
NUMU NAD+ Energize

The ONLY root cause hair loss solution currently in existence

NAD+ - Direct Complex I substrate
NMN - The EXACT molecule from the study
NR - Alternative pathway backup
Niacinamide - NAD+ recycling

Quadruple-stack ensures restoration through EVERY pathway. Image
A follower using NUMU NAD+ for about a month sent us this INCREDIBLE before and after

And as always, you don't need products to reverse mitochondrial disease. You need to change your lifestyle, nutrition, and environment.

Exogenous NAD+, cofactors, and phytoactives may make up for not living a perfect lifestyle, but anyone can do it for free/cheap

MORNING (Non-Negotiable):

Sunrise 30-45 min - NO glasses/contacts (block 40-50% infrared)
Bare feet on earth

The Gut-brain axis isn't some woo woo hippie bullshit

Ignoring this reality will leave you:

- Limp 🍆'd

- Weak & underperforming
- Chronically ill

Here's what the soy medical establishment doesn't want you to know:
Your gut has more neurons than your spinal cord.

It's literally your "second brain" connected to your skull computer via the vagus nerve superhighway.

When your gut is inflamed, your brain is inflamed. Image

The Quantum Biology Your Doctor Doesn't Understand:

Your gut bacteria emit 5,000x more biophotons than your own cells.

These light signals coordinate everything from neurotransmitter production to hormone synthesis.

🚨BREAKING 🚨

Big Pharma to lose $4.8 Billion annually while millions of Doctors lose their credibility after "Androgenic Alopecia" myth debunked and the Ultimate Hair Loss Reversal Protocol Revealed

THREAD
Everything we've been told about hair loss is wrong

Big Pharma pushes 5AR inhibitors & Minoxidil, but hair follicles need something radically different.

To understand why, we need to first debunk "Androgenic" alopecia & find out what's really going on
Hair loss was extremely rare historically, especially before age 30.

There's a reason you can't think of a single historical figure that was Norwood 5 or 6 as a young man.

Today, hair loss is rising rapidly even as average DHT levels plummet. Why? Image
