I began experiencing hair loss while in college. Although I saw physicians and specialists about this problem, I was given few treatment options. I came to the conclusion that these options were not satisfactory. I came to realize how frustrating a problem hair loss can be. For several years, I have extensively researched this subject by consulting physicians, talking to patients receiving various forms of therapy for hair loss, and reading all medical literature that I could possibly obtain pertaining to this topic. Let me inform you that there are many options available. I will discuss all of them in Conquering Hair Loss©.
