Final Days: Chinese Scientists Have Solved the DP Culturing Problem! (2014)

[DesperateOne]

Of course, that was in 2012, when nobody could expand DP cells while getting those cells to from Hair follicles and grow hair ! Jahoda solved that part a year later. And now, another year later, several research groups have been working on improving that method and who knows, those chinese might have cracked it. So yeah, you can say we are damn close.

Arashi, what are your thoughts in the melatonin study, do you see even a slight chance of some merit?

That's also an insane amount of money GUARANTEED for the next '10-20 years' while the FDA and other health ministries stall and crap all over biotechs ability to progress their trials at an acceptable pace.

We could help fund a clinic and competent doctor do this through crowdfunding itself. It'd be an amazing opportunity for them get a business started FOR FREE and then earn cash after as well!

Keep in mind you'd be subject to taxes of the foreign country plus that of your citizenship. Also keep in mind you'd be earning money in the Indian Rupee, which is about 1:40 the American Dollar, and you'd have to spend part of that to convert it back to the American Dollar.

Also, medical professionals seeking licensure in another country have to sit that country's exams, and once having passed them (no easy task when you're in a foreign country and do not know their testing system or emphasis), you're going to lose your licensure in your home country at the end of the year, as you have to be actively practicing for a certain number of days in that province/state (depends state-to-state) the prior year, in addition to completing CE credits.

Also, no Canadian or American company is going to cover you for malpractice insurance while you practice in another country.

So there's that...

No, you would probably get some kind of double taxation relief which would be at the lower of the tax on foreign gains and the tax liability in your home country.

This is offered by the UK government and probably operates in other jurisdictions as well. No way would two governments tax you as it would depend on where your gains were remitted to.

This is all very true.

Not all of it.

You wouldn't be taxed on the same income twice. It would be either at the foreign rate or your own country's rate.

You'd most likely get double taxation relief if taxed twice.

this forum sucks. all it has done to me is drag out false hope. by the time this treatment is even available, and who the hell knows if it will even come to fruition, it will be 10 years down the line, all of my hair will be gone and god dammit. super angry right now

As a Canadian citizen, the only situation I'm aware of where that applies is if I do business in the USA. A Memorandum of Understanding in the Canada-USA Tax Treaty which specifically addresses double taxation was introduced in 2005.

The purpose is to encourage bilateral trade under NAFTA. This does not apply internationally.

Bro, I'm with you to. But you have to look at the big picture, they have come so far in just little time. This opens up many more possibilities. I'm confident we're going to be just fine.

Effective hair loss treatments have progressed at a snail's pace. On the other hand, when I was in my early twenties, plugs were the only treatment available for MPB sufferers. Hair loss research evidently has not been treated as a priority over the years like heart disease, cancer, AIDS, etc.. Interesting that current oral and topical treatments such as Avodart, Propecia, and Rogaine were originally developed to treat other disorders.

Your hair will be gone but youll be able to get it back.

Another way to look at it is that if you went completely bald tommorow you would only have to deal with it for 6-8 years, but seeing as itll be slower then that youll only have to deal with it for 2-4 years.

It's because society has made it clear that balding men don't deserve the respect they should.

You are crazy, you just don't respect yoursef and you think that everybody is like you. Respect has nothing to do with hair.

[hellouser]

Then why are so many women repulsed by balding men?
Why is the stereotype of a complete failure of a man also include baldness? Why does the media treat baldness as an acceptable condition to humiliate someone over (see example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T7rnF7_0XM ).
Why are ONLY men ridiculed and humiliated over hair loss, but not women?

Do you know of ANY condition that receives this much DISRESPECT?

Respect has EVERYTHING to do with this condition... and we DO NOT GET IT. You gotta be kidding yourself if its respecting yourself based on an aesthetic thats an EXTERNAL factor that society judges you on.

[Hicks]

would you want a bald women (i.e., no hair on the top of her head)?

Hair loss progressed because more money is flowing around. I wish more atheletes would come out for HTs like Welker

[Dazza]

Has a point to be honest. Media wouldn't laugh at a woman with hairloss.
