you list is more aggro than mine -- you might want to try out putrid leech
looks good, but i think you need more instant removal -- i was packing 7 instant removal spells backed by tidehollow scullers and inquisition of kozilek for more distruption, and it still wasn't enough to ensure that I could stop their combo.
mana leak is another possibility

I hear this a lot, but I don't buy it. A full head of hair looks better than balding. Now a hair cut designed to hide the balding process may look worse than balding, I'd grant that. It depends on the level of balding. The worse the balding, the better it looks cut shorter.
The testosterone part is a myth.
All balding really means is your hair has a genetic susceptibility to being miniaturized when exposed to dihydrotestosterone. Pretty much is the androgen sensitivity of your scalp, not the levels of androgens themselves that are the issue. But since we don't know how to reduce the androgen receptor density or their sensitivity to androgens all we can currently do is play with the androgens. Of course there are non antiandrogenic treatments as well but they work downstream from the binding of DHT to the AR.
Testosterone itself is negligible in the effect tho it may have a mild negative effect. But probably less than negligible because no genetically deficient in 5aR pseudoherm ever went bald due to testosterone itself which they have present in their bodies.
There are some nebulous relations between balding and other diseases, but we don't the causality. It is likely there is a third genetic factor influencing both. The balding and heart disease connection was known as back as the 1960s. So it could useful in screening out risk to other diseases.
don't run black. there's really no need for it.
white and blue and colorless gives you fine disruption. pithing needle, meddling mage, negate, runed halo, silence (all u need), declaration of naught, clique, etc. and, if you really need it, youve got surgical extraction.
Incidentally soy isoflavones have shown some potential versus balding and soy is higher component of certain asian traditional diets. Equol, a metabolite of one of the soy isoflavones is the only compound (aside from your bodies own androgen binding proteins) known to bind to DHT itself. Reputable scientists have speculated that it might have use in treating androgen mediated conditions including MPB. Its currently being tested against for its use in treating prostatic hyperplasia (all the current drugs used vs mpb are prostate treatments as well, so this is highly suggestive). Teas are also a high component of asian diet. In animals teas also are 5 alpha reductase inhibitors and have lowered the DHT of rodents. In humans I dont think it has the same effect but it also has never been tested in humans so we dont know for certain.
i dont think seeing a shrink is necessary as sexual exploration isnt necessarily pathological.
as others have said, this is more common than you might think.
not necessarily! find a club or bar or a hipster coffee shop and you might be able to keep your bodily adornments. also maybe a clothing shop or something where they service to subcultures where piercings are accepted. its no more shallow being reticent to change your appearance for work than it is for the regulations of society that mandate we have to change our appearances in order to work
do not mediate, let them work it out as adults
do not let this ruin your friendship if your friendship was good
offer advice to your friend if he wants it but otherwise dont moralize on him and dont end a friendship because you dont agree with how hes handling a life situation or crisis that doesnt pertain to you (unless you dont mind ending the friendship or potentially risking the friendship because of that)
how good of a friend are you guys?
P{choose 1, or choose 2, or choose 2, ..., or choose n...} = 1, ie: if you sample you will select at least some integer by supposition
but they are disjoint so the that P{} = p(1) + p(2) + ... p(n) = 1, yet if each p(n) was identical to zero this sum would vanish and 1=0 which is not acceptable!
so they are non zero. if they were all zero then the law of total probability would be violated.
i suspect you need more information in order for this to be a well defined probability space.
Body dysmorphic disorder would be my best guess.
Any disorder with self image or self esteem issues or with issues of rigidity and change adverseness.
In any event he is not crazy. There are huge cultures dedicated to his beliefs. They don't accord with the views of the average westerner or member of an industrialist/post-industrialist, technological society but it doesn't really make them crazy.
Maybe just talk about it with some of the people there, but make references to fantasy concepts, like shapeshifting or something, or tell them you are a female spirit inhabing the body of a male appearanced golem and that you are going to refashion your golem, but have humor about it. Smile when you are saying it, laugh about it, and such. I think it would help them to either accept it, if not down right think that it's awesome or cool that you are becoming more who you really want to be!
in b4 necromancy, but this is false.
in fact the overall luddism of these responses is pretty outdated.
if this were the 1970s or 1980s when all you had was rubbing prostesterone or estradiol (they work to an extent but they are outclassed today) into your head or massaging your scalp I'd agree, but it's not. we actually have real medical treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
antiandrogens or compounds which interfere with androgenic action in the body can maintain hair indefinitely (finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, or the more esoteric RU 58841, ASC-J9, CB-03-01), and many non antiandrogenic compounds such as prostaglandin analogues, proteasome inhibitors, and minoxidil can cause growth of hair. alone or in combination with some of these other compounds you can maintain your hairs state indefinitely, and sometimes regrow some hair, or at least hugely slow down your balding rate.
and better (read: ones with no potential for sexual side effects) treatments are just over the horizon (Histogen gave single treatment of scalp injections which produced positive gains in hair which last for at least a year with no repeated treatment applications.. compare this to finasterid which must be taken daily in order to maintain effect... 1/ per yr, compared to 356/ per yr is a huge improvement)
caught early i've known guys who maintained norwood 1-2 for over a decade, and plenty more who halted their hair loss at later stages with adequate medical treatment.
a few decades ago it was a genetic fate that you'd bald if you were disposed to it, but it no longer is with current science/medicine
