      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.
      Too true.

      It's more or less 'Show a commercial product or shut the f*ck up.'

      I don't care how much research there is, there could be 10,000 doctors working on a solution and it'd all be bullshit if there was a treatment we could get. Which is what todays state is like... oh but wait, we'll always have apologists saying we have Minoxidil and Finasteride.... yeah, after 20+ years.

      It disgusts me that theres no cure... ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

        I know. There are "researchers" out there who have been "researching" and tinkering around in their labs but have not done a damn thing to try to create a product or treatment for hair loss sufferers. All they've been doing is tinkering around with mice in a lab for a couple of decades. If we had as many people who were interested in create a viable product or method for regrowing hair as those "researchers" who tinker with mice in a lab, then we might have a cure for hair loss now.

        That being said, God bless companies like Replicel and Histogen who are actually worked to create a viable cure/treatment for hair loss.

          That's very encouraging. And hey, what about that HT surgeon who recently said that a cure would be 20-30 years away and even then, it would only be a HT with unlimited donor? How disingenuous and full of s**t that guy was.

            Its because those WITH hair are privileged to have it and subconsciously gives themselves satisfaction that others are burdened with such misfortune. How else would they come to realization that their lives are better than others?

            Simply put, they don't care.

              I think this crowdfunding approach where we seek out our own professionals and fund our own avenues into hair loss is going to be far more effective than relying on these companies that just constantly without fail let us down every 5 years.

              Thank God for Kane, ID & mpb treatments - but we need a more aggressive approach into something more profound than just topicals for hair loss, we need something along the lines of cell therapy. It's no good just sitting around here waiting for an invisible hand to save Aderans.

                Thing is with cell therapy, we need scientists and access to a lab and, more importantly, skirt around any legal issues. I would imagine if any authorities found out about that kind of activity they would shut you down FAST.

                    Well, I can't find any test results from Iron Dragon, but Kane is pretty transparent about purity. I'd go with that. Ethanol/PG is pretty easy to get.

                      Ethanol is tough to get in the UK... Everclear is impossible to find...

                        I've heard there is an influx in Polish immigrant workers in the UK. Try going to a polish deli shop and asking for 'spirytus' (its a rectified spirit). It should be a grain alcohol just like Everclear and give the same results. Don't drink it though unless you have Polish roots, Not russian, they cant handle alcohol, and contrary to popular belief, they didnt invent vodka, we did (the Poles)... Russians only invented alcohol abuse.

                              Legendary find, nice work comrade.

                              Regarding the release, nothing new under the sun, the next best treatment is always "5 years away".
