    Dear Members,

    I had to come to this thread because IM has quoted me and started this thread which is connected to me. I will have to defend my claim.

    I hope it is fair for all to have counter argument against the title of this thread. Let discuss whether misleading claim 2 is misleading or is it true?


    Preservation medium is an Illusion.

    You have given your defense saying that even plucked hair of which you have shown the picture which have follicular stem cells. You are correct there is no dispute.



    Counter claim:-

    1. Then plucked hair can be used for doubling why to use invasive methods like hollow needles or triple way needles. Dr. Cooley, Dr. Cole have experimented with plucked hair with partial success. We have also started our experiment with addition of stem cells, dp cells, growth factor, ECM and will post the test results next month.



    2. Since inherent (you have not done anything to them) stem cells are already present in a plucked follicle / in-vivo bisected follicles & in-vitro bisected follicles including FUT & FUE follicles and since you have already agreed in another thread, that the technical name of this technique is perpendicular partial longitudinal bisection of follicle in-vivo follicular doubling and hence the claims stem cells hair transplant will definitely be consider misleading.



    3. The website mentions, that with the help of the needle you extract stem cells and you implant stem cells.

    Prove it, which is impossible, in fact you yourself have mentioned in this post that this technique is partial longitudinal follicle bisection and implantation with its inherent stem cells.

    Please prove scientifically how the preservation medium multiplies follicle and show any scientific method / article proving that by soaking the graft in any possible culture medium, GF and any other stuff, can multiply follicular stem cells. (It may help in survival and better nutrition).

    By the way stem cells in the donor area are already active unlike the stem cells in the MPB recipient bald area.



    4. For stem cells to activate you need to loosen the cell membrane with enzymes and special CO2 incubation in a series of process with Growth Factor and proteins in the culture media to keep its tricogensity alive and work on sodium potassium pump on the cell membrane to promote the cell division,
    the real stem cell multiplication which is only possible in a FDA certified lab with high sterile conditions like number of organism per 1000 cubic cm in the air of the lab. In normal procedure room or operation theater without laminar air flow, etc one organism is sufficient to spoil the sample of stem cell which is of now use.

    Unless you isolate stem cells from the surrounding cells of even the follicle one cannot activate or multiply stem cells. Confirm the same from any independent bio-tech



    Next misleading claim according to you:

    Let the member and experts decide whether it is a misleading claim or true. This is what you have shown on your website.

    That you have bisected the follicle longitudinally and extracted the follicle. But why do we see follicle with bulb in your Petri dish.
    We also see transected follicles which you count as 1 instead of 2 follicle per grafts. Why 80% regeneration at donor. Why wastage of some grafts? A follicle with a bulb is like an FUE implantation and recipient will always show growth.




    Next claim

    You yourself claiming that you give only 80% donor regeneration that means you sacrifice 20% grafts are less at the donor after the procedure.

    Now you will have to decide, as I will mention few other technique of donor doubling which will be better.
    1. In-vivo hair donor doubling with partial extraction of follicle transverse or longitudinal under the vision of ultra vision or fiber optic camera with addition of GF, ECM, DP Cells, Stem cells. We promise 100% regeneration at donor and 80 to 90 % regeneration at recipient. We can convert nw7 to nw2 in 10 days, ofcourse scarless.

    2. Your blind technique of extraction of partial follicular unit longitudinally with wastage of few graft, multiple extraction sites at donor and extraction of follicle with bulb wherein it should have been extraction of follicle as shown in your pictures. Why we should not consider it as a splitting of 2 follicle into 1 as shown in the petri dish. Yes both of us is scarless. you claim 80% donor regeneration and X percentage of recipient regeneration. You can repeat procedure after 6 months and nw7 will takes years to become nw2.

    We also offer in-vitro donor doubling wherein we grown 90 follicles from 23 follicle.

    Shortly we will also offer pluck hair transplant with addition of stem cell, DP cells, GF to improve on the findings of Dr. Cole, Dr. Cooley.



    Next Claim

    You yourself say, that you have to use multiple drills or multiple extraction at the donor, We do not use multiple drills or multiple extraction at donor,
    Then you decide which technique will be desirable.

    Kindly also have a look at different possible types of graft extraction and decide which will be better.

    Please understand we all are here to improve the present technique and get to the cure of MPB, that’s why we are debating, scrutinize.

    I am always ready to improve on my technique, modify my technique and learn from others.

    Same is expected from you Ironman, rather than you saying you are the best and hence there can be no other technique present or in the future.



    Any true regeneration can only be proved by independent monitoring of single, double or triple grafts extracted from donor and implanted with macro and videoscopic pictures of the regenerated grafts at donor and recipient including the petri dish pictures which should show every graft clearly.

    We will not consider any telogen hair or failed extractions because we don’t take into consider the same when we do the patch test or in-vivo or in-vitro doubling.




    Let me tell you your technique is superior to FUE no doubt but there are other in-vitro, in-vivo Hair Doubling, Hair Tripling, Hair Quadrupling, Stem Cells Hair Multiplication, DP Cells injection is much more superior to yours even today.



    You are open to scrutinize independently and compare.



    And lastly the link which you have posted is talking about pluripotent stem cell (iPS) and hair follicular stem cells are multipotent and not pluripotent,

    and can become hair and skin not anything else and are much safer. Pluripotent stem cell can become neuron, cardiac, etc.

    Don’t confuse people with half knowledge.

    My present technique is the integration of partial / bisected follicle extraction and with addition of growth factors for repair which used by Histogen and others and autologus serum free stem cells solution used by Aderans, dermal cup sheath, outer root sheath stem cells,
    The safety of which is already proven by the 1st phase of clinical trails submited to FDA USA. as first phase of clinical trial is safety trials.

    Thanks for giving me access of this article by CD 47 which I will research further and may be incorporate in my technique and this is the power of forums and discussion and debates in the forum.



    Don’t you think extracting follicle in-vivo blindly will give rise to multiple extractions, failed extraction, and you will never be perfect every time in extraction where you want to do. Don’t you think my method using fibro optic 0.3 mm wire inside the hollow needle where in I can see the needle where my needle is going and where I am bisecting. In-fact this wire can be used by other HT surgeons.



    I am improving everyday in the forum and not sticking to old guns. There will be lot to come after my visit to Edinburg conference of hair research and investigative dermatology where I will meet Jahoda, Dr. Stenn, Dr. Kim, Dr. Fuchs, Dr. Gerd, Dr. Noughton, Dr. Costariles and many others.



    The more you know ……..you come to know….. that you do not know enough. This is the sign of wisdom.

    Only a empty half vessel …….can be filled up with more knowledge. A vessel is already full with his own ideas and thoughts can never be filled and any new knowledge will be overflows.



    Power comes with …….not only from what you know…… but also what you do what you know.




    Its when you say you do not know the difference better pluripotent stem cell and multipotent stem cells and bolding making a claim that ------- IS NOT REQUIRED (Stem cells activation and activation). Read the article again. Unfortunately a knowledge about bioengineering, bio-tech, stem cells is half and you pick up article from here and there and tell the forum members about it but not now Ironman because I am here.

      Dr Nigam

      Your comments are in line to what all FUE doctors are sayig about HST

      I emailed a few well respected doctors and they pretty much said the same thing about transections and petri

      These hairs with bulb would grow normaly without preservation medium, it might boost growth but they are essentially FUE grafts

      Transecting 2 hair graft and calling it single is definetely misleading

        So if you want to know anything about electrical cars you'd ask a dealer of gasoline cars ? What do you expect them to tell you ? "Yeah sure, go buy an electrical car, it's better than what I sell" ?

        Wouldn't it make more sense to ask somebody who has no financial interest in the competing product ? Why not email one of these guys for example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23289545

              No - that's not misleading at all. That has just something to do with the incompetence in the hair transplant field in general.

              And yeah, THIS part (why you can see 2 HAIRS if you need just 1 HST follicle) has, in fact, something to do what Jerry Cooley is saying in his presentation ...



              ...about plucked hairs and "what Jahoda suggested" concerning this issue.

              So what is Jerry Cooley saying about this issue in his presentation?

              But - wait - what said Dr. Gho concerning this issue more than 12 years ago?



              Dr. Gho explained what Dr. J. Cooley mentioned in his presentation 12 years later ... lol

              Anyway, what does it mean?
              That means, HOW can I pluck out anagen hairs INCLUDING also at least a part of the important "connective tissue" (= dermal sheath)??

              So how can someone accomplish this?
              Right, you need 1) a special needle as well as 2) a 2nd hair shaft, which just serves as a guide in the skin for the special needle.

                Didi, if you don't understand something and have questions why don't you just email HASCI ? They generally are very willing to explain anything you don't understand. I could forward your questions/remarks to them as well but I'm not the 'communication medium' here. Get in contact yourself, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to explain things to you.

                  What you can see in the petri dish (section 1), are basically SINGLE-HAIR-FOLLICLES. But there could also be a few "transected" follicles - but most of these "transected" follicles are, in fact, 2-hair follicles whereby 1 follicle of this "2-hair follicle" is in TELOGEN - which counts for Kristel/Gho simply as "single follicle". And especialy THESE grafts, these grafts produce in the donor area mostly the "no regrowth" sites - but eventually a 2-hair graft in the recipient site (unclear).



                  JJJrs said the same, Iron man response was very interesting too...

                    Hehe. If you would be right then the regrowth number in the HASCI test that's going down wednesday, would suck big time Already found a guy to witness the procedure Didi ? And again, maybe you should just visit them yourselves ?

                      hmmm, could you please email these "respected doctors" again and ask them for photos of THEIR extracted FUE grafts (or FUT grafts) - so that we are able to compare them with Dr. Gho's grafts in his petri dish ...



                      ... and whether or not such grafts (even those with the bulbs), as you can see them in Gho's petri dish, will survive in THEIR hands and without a special preservation medium.
                      Thanks in advance.

                      By the way - here is one of these "respected doctors" and this doctor has a BIG problem with the following thing - or rather question ...

                      >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


                      Dr. Rassman wrote recently about normal FUE:

                      "The grafts are pulled from the extraction site once they are cored and this pulling is most often the cause of the denuded distal end of the FUE graft. Almost 100% of FUE grafts lose the fatty covering at the bottom of the graft, exposing the hair follicular bulb to the air around it (this is never present in FUT created grafts). This can be a problem because drying (the number one cause of graft death) is accelerated as the grafts are moved from the donor area to the bath they are stored in, and then from that bath into the recipient area. Meticulous attention to keeping the graft very moist and protecting it from the air in the room is critical to graft survival and this is probably the single largest cause of FUE failures once the graft has been removed from the donor site.

                      Graft survival:
                      The survival of the denuded graft may not be as great as the survival of the FUT manually dissected graft, and there are few scientific studies other than one by Dr. Bradley Wolfe (ISHRS Presentation in October 2012) that demonstrates in his hands on a side by side comparison in a single patient, that graft growth was essentially the same when FUT and FUE were compared.

                      The denuded graft has always bothered me and every technique gets it when performing an FUE no matter which surgeon does it, and there does not seem to be influence by the commercial instrumentation used. There is one exception to this — when we developed and tested the FUE2 technique and used subdermal tumescence simultaneous with the FUE technique. As you can see on this FUE2 page, the grafts have no denuded distal end.

                      We have not commercialized this technique at this time and I am personally waiting to see if scientific studies being done now, will shed light on
                      the importance of the denuded distal end [PROXIMAL END!! - idiot!] for the FUE graft."
                      >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

                      Anyway, so when a "denuded graft", like Dr. Gho's grafts, "bothers" respected doctors like Dr. Rassman - how can such doctors claim that Dr. Gho's extremely 'denuded grafts' with bulb (as you can see them in Gho's petri dish) "would grow normally without preservation medium"??

                      In simple words - WHY should such extremely "denuded" grafts ...



                      ...grow normally WITHOUT a special preservation medium??

                      Rassman is clearly saying, that such grafts causes "headaches" and is bothering him extremely ...

                        Why did I call Dr. Rassman "idiot"?

                        To the best of my knowledge, Dr. Rassman is the only doctor on this planet I'm aware of, who calls the hair follicles' PROXIMAL END simply "distal end" and the DISTAL END simply "proximal end" - and doing this, can cause LOTS OF confusion in the hair follicle research field.

                        Here are the (actually well-known) FACTS ...


                        The following pic, with the CORRECT labeling of "distal" and "proximal", serves just to clarify this issue once and for all...


                        In simple words, when Dr. Rassman (and just Dr. Rassman!!) is talking about "distal end", he means, in fact, the PROXIMAL END of the hair follicle!

                        Just as a side note...

                          ”Dr Gho states that normal saline solution kills 50 to 60% of follicles and tissue due to the ph. And the smaller [the graft], the greater the damage

                          Can someone please call the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION and put out an alert that every hospital on earth using normal saline intravenously is KILLING blood cells......and the answer to this crisis is Dr Ghos liquid which is perfectly safe and superior to normal saline and can be injected into the blood stream by the litre..he holds the patent but I am sure every hospital on earth alerted to this new terrifying scenario will order it by the container ship load

                          In my opinion, Dr Ghos claims are utter BS, and I think every surgeon, anaethetist and ER doc on planet earth would agree”

                          From our results we conclude that in this model cellular integrity is best protected by University of Wisconsin solution, increased prostacyclin release is consistent with morphologic alterations and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression is clearly up-regulated in endothelial cells under repe &#8230;

                          "saline solution caused a significant decline in cell numbers after 24 hours"



                          According to all these scientific research papers (and I’ve mentioned just a few!) – I don’t think that "every surgeon, anaethetist and ER doc on planet earth would agree"…

                          Anyway, can someone please call the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) in Australia, and report them, that there is a hair transplant doctor in Australia, who suggests his patients that “Saline Solution” is a good thing for their extracted hair follicles…
