    The paper described two adult cases of chronic hypervitaminosis A, highlighting the variability in the dosage-duration relationship of vitamin A intake. One patient developed hepatic cirrhosis due to long-term frequent ingestion of beef liver, marking the first reported case of such a condition induced by this dietary habit. The study underscored the potential severe hepatic and dermatologic manifestations of chronic vitamin A toxicity in adults.

      in Treatment  55 upvotes 2 years ago
      A user is trying to reverse male pattern baldness (MPB) naturally by taking high doses of Vitamin D, improving diet, exercising, reducing stress, and other lifestyle changes, but plans to use finasteride if no results are seen in 60 days. Other users are skeptical, advising medical treatments like finasteride and warning against potential vitamin D overdose and the ineffectiveness of natural remedies for genetic hair loss.
