Interesting. I mean, for not having any high hopes for anything - I'm surprised to see you in almost EVERY snake oil and BS thread.

he simply chooses to pursue treatments that have some chance of being released in his lifetime...

I never had high hopes for anything anyway.

That's the problem, irrational optimism


Then people who take the skeptic approach get attacked as "pessimists" and "close-minded" because we don't support the newest snake oil or get excited at another mice study

yea but science is not static and there is reason to be more optimistic than even 5 years ago.

they know much more than they did back then, yes we are still at least a few years away, but it's not like we dont have products that are producing results(bim and histogen currently at least).

i don't like the idea of this congress being some sort of beacon early in the year. we get bashed by irrationally optimistic people for being realistic and we are ALWAYS right. next year let's just not set it up like that.

The problem is that the flux of new baldies continue, and for the first couple of years they come with really inflated expectations

I never had high hopes for anything anyway. The only thing I would have liked to see were results from histogen and Aderans. Even that didn't happen. Not yet anyway.

While I agree, don't spend every waking moment on here, it's nice to track all these experimental treatments...id of never even heard of histogen etc without tbt, much less Bpn-32 or RU

No offense to any members on here, because I hate this shit as much as all of you do.

But seriously get off these forums, and live your life. You will get more done, and before you know it weeks will pass.

As it stands they had something to present - so no news is good news given we know about Histogens results.

I agree yeahyeahyeah, I gave this advice on the show but even I find myself lingering around for some announcement and as a consequence I find myself feeling much more miserable. Guys, set a website blocker on your internet browser and block this forum, seriously. Give it 2-3 weeks and don't get your hopes up for any major news, we will likely get updates from Histogen about phase II and possibly from Replicell and Aderans, until then as yeahyeahyeah says try to live your lives.

Peace, BB.

Exactly garethbale! There are miserable members that just want to say 'I told you so' when we know absolutely nothing about what was presented!!! WTF is wrong with you people??

I really don't understand why people are saying that the conference was a failure when we don't even know what was presented...?

How is it a failure? It was never meant to be anything 'successful', the whole point of it was for presentation purposes.

I agree. This forum is like an asylum and some of the posters on here are like women on the rag.

I was never expecting one of these companies to come out and say, 'bam, we cured hair loss'

We just need to be patient and hope new, more innovative ways of treating hair loss are released. The fact that companies and individuals are working towards this is a good sign.

I wish there was any medication to combat this plague when I was young. But there was nothing.

Today young people are much more lucky than we were back at my time; at least they have some options now that will allow them to keep most of their hair for years.

Lucky in this sense - screwed in other ways.

Many wont be able to afford to go to university/college; get onto the property ladder etc etc. which may end up resulting in young people suffering from poverty.

There wasn't any "hype" people here created their own hype.

Nothing big comes out of this conferences ever
