The benefits of using hair loss treatment

Posted on October 29th, 2011 in Health | Comments Off

Any man that has experienced premature hair loss and balding, or is experiencing such problems at the moment, will know just how debilitating this can be. Whilst some people may think that hair loss is just an aesthetic problem and that men should just get over it and play the hand that they have been dealt, this is actually a problem that can go much further than just aesthetics. Of course, some men have no qualms about losing their hair and to them it really is plain and simple aesthetics. However, for many other men losing their hair can have a profound effect on the way they feel. Many men lose their self esteem and confidence along with their hair and this can make a big difference to their overall quality of life.

Propecia is a drug that is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Merck, and it is designed to help men who are experiencing hair loss and baldness. This medication is aimed at helping to stop any further hair loss, so the earlier men consider taking it the better. However, many men may already have bald patches by the time they start taking Propecia. The good news is that this medication is also able to help stimulate hair regrowth on bald areas of the scalp in some men, which means that even those that have already become bald in some areas could benefit.

There are in fact a number of main benefits that come with this hair loss treatment and some of these include:

  • This medication may be able to stop any further hair loss in men that have been losing their hair. It can therefore prove very effective for men who start taking it early before too much hair is lost
  • For some men this medication will also result in the regrowth of new hair in areas of baldness, as it can help to stimulate the follicles that have stopped producing new hair in order to get them working effectively again
  • Propecia comes in the form of a small pill, which only has to be taken once a day in order for men to start benefitting from its effects. This means that there is no need for inconvenient ointments that have to be rubbed onto the scalp each day. It also means that you can take your medication discreetly even when you are away on holiday or business
  • Whilst there are side effects that are associated with this treatment many men experience no side effects at all from taking Propecia, and instead enjoy only the benefits of the treatment Read the rest of this entry »

Auto insurance and the gender divide

Posted on October 29th, 2011 in Financial Services | Comments Off

These are the days of political correctness where, on issues of gender, race, religion and other divisive issues, we are expected to remain civil and avoid anything that might stir up trouble. This actually makes life quite difficult because, if real change is going to be made, there must be an honest debate about the issues. So, for example, should men and women receive the same pay for the same work? This should not be controversial. If the employer benefits equally from the work done by both sexes, there’s no reason to reward one more than the other. Except there’s no transparency. Only a tiny percentage of employers make pay grades public, so it’s almost impossible to discover whether any group of individuals is being paid less than the average for that type of work. Now let’s turn the question around. Would you expect a man to be asked to pay more just because he’s a man?

It’s a statistical fact that women live longer than men, so let’s say a man and a woman of the same age ask for quotes to buy a life insurance policy with the same guaranteed death benefits. If the insurance companies base the quotes on the math, the man pays more because he will live for fewer years. There are two reasons for this. First, the man may not work for as long before ill-health forces retirement, i.e. the payments will stop. Second, as women live longer, there are more years for the investment of the payments to build up in value. So women can expect to pay less than men for the same product. Except this would be a positive discrimination on the basis of sex. Presumably that’s illegal.

Moving on to insuring drivers, it’s a statistical fact that women are safer drivers than men. They are more likely to obey the law and generally drive less recklessly. So even if they are involved in accidents, they are traveling more slowly and so there’s less injury to passengers and less damage to the vehicles. Because premium rates are based on the risk an insured will claim, women should pay less than men. Except, unless the insurance company offers a women-only policy, men and women are grouped together so there’s no problem in giving to same rates to individuals with the same safety records. The averages will simply show that women pay less than men. Read the rest of this entry »
