Cool
Can we get our hands on this at all? -
Spencer once again comes through with the interview. ThanksComment

Kudos to Spencer for the interviewComment

No but I have some stressed thinning scalp that I'd like to try it on.Comment

You're going to inject yourself with an untested peptide? If the result is that you end up with a fur-covered abdomen, will you consider it a success?Comment
-
I highly doubt that injecting my scalp with an untested peptide will result in a fur-covered abdomen but if nobody tries it, nobody will ever know including yourself.Comment
-
Is your scalp the only portion of your body that grows hair? What makes you think that the effects of injecting a substance into your body will necessarily be limited to the immediate area of the injection site?
If people try it stupidly, we'll still never know.but if nobody tries it, nobody will ever know including yourself.Comment

Eventually if they want to conduct human trials they will have to start with a test spot with a very low does otherwise nothing will come of it at all. You may not believe in it and that's fine but if anything is going to develop out of this researchers will have to try it plus you have no idea if it will have an effect on humans and neither does anyone else to be fair as far as I know. Plus I didn't post, "hey, can gmonasco can be a guinea pig for everyone else and inject it into his head?" No need for the harsh tone. I can pretty much guarantee you if this substance was or is obtainable people would try it so you won't have to worry about growing hair on your abdomen.Comment

But what they may eventually test out on humans won't necessarily be the exact same thing they as what they injected into mice, and it won't necessarily be injected into the scalp (if, indeed, the end product is an injectable at all).
That's why this is an area best left to researchers, not self-experimentation by people who have no idea what they're doing.if anything is going to develop out of this researchers will have to try it
Which is one hell of a good reason why nobody should be injecting himself with it.plus you have no idea if it will have an effect on humans and neither does anyone else to be fair as far as I know.
Yeah, because desperate, uninformed people harming themselves by self-injecting untested substances is just the kind of publicity likely to bring serious research effort and funding to the issue of hair loss.Plus I didn't post, "hey, can gmonasco can be a guinea pig for everyone else and inject it into his head?" No need for the harsh tone.Comment

I have a question, could this be a possible cure to Telogen Effluvium?Comment

From the interview and everything that I have been reading it sounds like it might be a huge step toward finding a cure for Alopecia Areata, which is devastating for many people. It might also help TE too since stress is involved. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, MPB sucks but Alopecia Areata is heartbreaking and it happens to so many women and children.Comment
-
I don't mean to sound like I'm advocating selfishly taking advantage of someone else's misfortune, but getting women and children with alopecia areata in the public eye more prominently might be a good way of publicizing (and getting funding for research into) hair loss in general, which of course includes MPB. Most people associate hair loss only with adult (primarily middle-aged) males, and those examples don't really generate much sympathy.Comment
