Hair Loss - Diet and hair loss

Question
This is my final question.  I am not suffering from hair loss, I'm just trying to get some information just in case.  

Are there any all-natural DHT blockers? Are there any DHT blockers that have no side-effects whatsoever? Are there any DHT blockers that are perfectly safe?  

Answer
Saw Palmetta an herb can help reduce DHT and it could be considerd natural.  However, it can have side effects like constipation, diarrhea , dizziness and nausea/vomiting.  Anything you take to reduce DHT can have side effects even herbal medication. I write for Propecia, a presription, all the time and I rarely see any side effects from this medication.  There is also Rogaine for Men which is topical and rarely does this topical medication have side effects and this medication is over the counter meaning you do not need a presription.  The answer to your question depends on what you mean by safe?  Anything talken by mouth can have side effects even the quote "Natural Medications".
