    It may not be Replicel, but we have many companies working on treatments or "cures" right now. We will have better options in the next 5 years and that is exciting!

    I wish Histogen would hurry up and update us on the end of their phase IIa trial, I'm interested to see these results.

    That all being said, I have high hopes for Replicel, they have a great scientific team behind them and I think they are shooting for the sky.

      I've heard that song before...

      Progress means nothing to me, because that's all I have been hearing regarding these companies and supposed future treatments, yet nothing of substance ever results from it. Nothing ever comes into fruition.

      To me this is just another way to get the balding all hyped up and pigeoned hold on something we all are starting to lose (along with hair)..and that's hope.

      Hope won't cure my thinning temples and hairline folks. For now all we have is FIN, Minox, and other experimental treatments. Hope won't bring back my hair.

        And why? Because we chose to believe any any sort of hope instead of accepting our faith.
        Where did Spencer say Replicel will save us?

          Well, I hope they will have a product to grow teeth also because by that time I won't have any!

            yes because science never improves as time goes on, technology doesn't get better, everything is the exact same as it was in the year 2000.

            I get where you're coming from, but the science is being much, much more understood than it was 10 or even 5 years ago. But I understand we need to see some concrete great results in order to actually build hope in those that have been hopeless like you.

              Both of you have valid arguments but his is not negating science. Its end result thats a joke; NO treatment is available regardless of the science. THATS infuriating.

                We're making good progress, hang in there guys, I know things are moving slowly but that's how the biotech world is.

                I think future prospects are very good, and it's only a matter of time until we can walk again with a completely full head of hair.

                Histogen has proved they have something good, but unfortunately we know it can only improve one's conditions but not completely reverse it to original state.

                Replicel is trying to do this as I understand, and they believe they can tweak what they have now to achieve this goal. There are obviously people who believe in them to the point of financing them, so this is positive.

                I think we could see great benefits already from a combination of treatments including Histogen and HT without Replicel.

                If Replicel were to give us something it would be even better than that, probably the equivalent of a cure.

                All positive stuff, we're slowly getting there.

                  About a week ago in a talk with Joe from Staten Island he said that Replicel were doing good work and that the cure will not be there in 1 or 2 years, maybe not even 3 or 4, but that he believed it will be there within 6-7-8 years. He also added that guys in their teenage years do not have to wory because when replicel is done they will never have to go bald.

                  I can search the exact quote if you prefer?

                    Spencer "I talked with David Hall of Replicel you guys have seen on the show before... they've been working on Replicel since 2003...I believe they're on to a true science, technology that's gonna change peoples lives. It might not happen in 1 year or 2 years, it might not happen in 3 or 4, but it's gonna happen and they're getting closer and closer."

                    later on:

                    Spencer: "When I think about all those kids today and these companies that are really working on cures and effective treatments. When you're losing your hair today, you're 21-22, I'm not gonna put my hand on the bible on swear to this. But I can almost guarantee. You guys will not be living your adult lives as hairloss sufferers. There is a good chance that by the time you're in your 30's, this will all be over... you will be able to solve this in your young lives"

                    later on in talk with Joe from Staten Island.

                        Thanks for looking that up, I didn't see that show...but if Spencer believes this, that is very encouraging as Spencer is always cautious with what he says.

                                Too right.

                                Getting pretty sick & damn tired of all this "positivity talk"... "oh look how much research is going on now compared to the 80's"... sorry but ive been in this game since the 80's... and the "research going on" isnt any more special than what was going on back then.

                                Atleast back then we had minox and fin given to us... these days we cant even get pathetic topical anti-androgens approved... so i'd say we're WORSE NOW than we were back then.
