If they find a cure, I predict a booming global economy with 0% unemployment worldwide, the end of world hunger and malnutrition, an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and a radical decline in depression and suicide.

If we're lucky: 5 years
Realistically: 10 years
Unlucky: 20 years

I have a Magic 8 ball and its telling me you're all going to be balder than a cue ball in 3 years.

[Conpecia]

Don't see the point of this thread because nobody knows. Might as well ask if you're going to be alive in 10 years. Nobody knows.

[greatjob!]

WHAT EVIDENCE DO WE HAVE????

hmmmm..histogen's results which are not a cure, but definitely better than minox and propecia

And when is that treatment coming out, if ever? You don't know. My point is that yes their are more treatments in the works than ever before, but not one single person knows when or if any of these are going to come out. And this topic is about a "cure". Anyone that says a treatment or cure will be out in x amount of years is basing that completely on their own opinion and assumptions, there for it is not evidence of anything coming soon but pure speculation. It's the same thing as me saying we will cure cancer in 5-10 years, there is more cancer research going on now than any other time in history, but I would be pulling that 5-10 year figure straight out of my ass just like everyone here is doing when speculating about a date for a hair loss cure.

[FearTheLoss]

It's funny when people's reasoning for no new treatments coming soon is "I've been here for ten years and new treatments are always a few years away".... like technology and knowledge hasn't evolved.


We will have a better treatment than propecia in 4 years or less..mark my words.

Lol i agree. I think there is a lot of money to be made in this area. I think everyone is working separately rather than together. For example, Nigam/Cole/Gho/French doc Mon should be working together. I think they can have a good hair transplant option, but we can only dream.

I'd rather have Dr. Lauster sharing his work than any of those doctors you listed.

[FearTheLoss]

Like I said before, I would love to believe that a better treatment is not too far off, but your 3-5 year claim is based completely on pure speculation. What evidence do you have that a better treatment will be here in 3-5 years? Sure there are far more people working on research now than before but there is zero evidence that we will have a viable treatment anytime soon. I don't base my reality on hopes and wishes, I base my reality on proof and evidence. To this point we have no real evidence that a cure or better treatment will be here soon, all we have is hopes and wishes.

Lol if government spent a lot of money on it or made it a priority, it would be solved within a year tops.

Of course, that's implausible and you can't expect them to do it, but still, it's funny to think about. We've solved far more complex problems.

Governments should be ploughing money into finding a cure.........

The money that would be pumped into a country's economy if a cure was found would take it out of economic recession and extinguish the recession on our heads.
