I listened to the interview last night and thought it was real positive and a great interview.

It was good to hear from Spex, Dr Feller and later Jotronic.

Spex made it crystal clear in the interview that the movie is clearly not just about hair transplants and hair loss.

The callers in after were very complimentary and I think rightly so.

It is good exposure for the hair loss community and hopefully it will spread the word of what is actually possible and send a stark warning out to the poor clinics that operate to raise your game or be eliminated as Joe mentioned.

It was also interesting to hear what Joe said about the lady in Italy.

[Spex]

LOL! Thats a possibility

Here you go Spex, new logo for you

Cheers Matt, dont sweat it. You cant please everyone all the time.

The topic was taken off tangent unfortunately .. lets keep it on track

[mattj]

Perhaps I'm naive, but I don't see any of this ruthlessness on the hairloss/hair transplant forums, nor do I see much of this "money grubbing", either. The culture of the forums doesn't permit that kind of thing. Heck, when I'm trying to offer help it's always in the back of my mind that some might think I'm trying to promote my doctor in the process. It actually stops me from posting sometimes - I'm that careful.

Spex has been around the scene a long time and he's probably over these worries. I don't think anyone could fault his intentions. He's earned his stripes in the trenches.

[Spex]

All good.

Where can I listen to the show from last night ?

why was Spex and Dr Feller attacked?

What was said?

Sounds like possible jealousy to me.

[chrisis]

Most of the people who attacked spex and Dr Feller clearly didn't understand what the subject was about. That's fair enough, but they didn't take the time to listen and find out. It's so easy to hurl criticisms behind the comfort of a screen and internet anonymity.

This was a good topic and one of the better shows of late.

[Jotronic]

Agreed. Good post. I listened in on the show last night while you and Dr. Feller were on air and while I didn't see some of the comments in the chat room I later called in and agreed with Spencer on air that something like this can only be a good thing for the field as a whole. My position is that with quality and accurate exposure it can help to raise the bar for how the general public views this type of procedure and may help to expose those doing sub-par work.

Overall, it's a baby step but of course Rome wasn't built in a day. I look forward to seeing this and hope you and Dr. Feller get some exposure.

[chrisdav]

Good post Spex.

[Spex]

I hear what you are saying Topcat but possibly educating patients about the actual GOOD clinics and good people out there and educating them as I try to do might be a better angle to take and enable all your energy to be much better spent. The industry is slimy evil place, i know. I fell at the hands of it. That's why educating more constructively your words in my opinion will carry more weight and help more people believe it or not rather than trying to indirectly get at certain people. I just try to educate and inform patients on actual Hair transplants, not the BS politics.

I know you mean well and believe you me i would love to expose this ruthless industry and all the hacks along with all the bastards and the unbelievable outrageous stuff i know of too. I have been around 12+ years and met, helped and counselled 1000's, i know a few things too i wish i didnt, trust me. Who knows maybe one day there will be an opportunity. If im presented with one i will give you a call.

I never wrote Spex was a money grubbing scumbag nor do I feel I insinuated it in anyway. As far as I know Spex seems to be an honest person. I was specifically referring to the industry.


There is also absolutely nothing wrong with putting out a positive message. I was not trying to take away or redirect his thread but you need to understand the negative in order to fully appreciate the positive. One must see both sides of the coin.


I can sit here and heap constant praise on a clinic but for the most part I do not do that because I’m more interested in trying to prevent the bad and it has been that way for the last 14 years.


This is who I am and I think it’s important. I speak out much more against many other industries and one of them at the top is the health and fitness industry. It is completely corrupt from top to bottom with everyone feeding off of everyone else and the common person paying the price. It’s important to understand all of this and pass the message on to others. That is all I am doing here.

I have read some of these recent news articles mentioning specific doctors and I think to myself sure it's a positive message but it's a complete load of horse shit but the average person would not know it. I just wouldn't want to see a segment in a movie glamourizing an industry that has a lot to hide.

Guys - please do not let this topic degenerate into a BS saga. I have stated what the movie is about and the fact how we got involved and the fact we might not even be in it. Everyone take a chill pill.

It's a comedy look at male grooming ...

S

Lol!.. I'm off to have mine now guys!,

peace

anytime chrisdav , you should check it out on player well worth a watch , i thought Mr Theroux and Mr Spurlock were similar ! didnt really get it was a comedy angle, as to be honest I havnt heard of any of the names in the cast !

I think if Men were more open about having a Transplant it would make it more socially acceptable, then a good open ` fly on the wall ` documentary would go down well with the public , we dont talk about hair transplants socially , I certainly dont, and want it to be a secret really , whereas women get there ` cans ` done and tell everyone, its a strange one , I had a female freind lift her top up and say " what do you think of these" ... can you imagine us doing the same ? doesnt happen ! so i hope the film helps in any way it can

happy easter everyone !
