WCHR 2014 Presentations (Community-funded)

[J_B_Davis]

I’m glad to see that Desmond understands my healthy skepticism and has taken the time to provide some evidence that he is indeed attending the conference. As I am sure he realizes, no one was personally “attacking” him, which would be impossible in the first place since he does not use his real name and is complety anonymous. I was simply playing devil’s advocate, which is reasonable in a situation like this, but always hoping for the best as I expressed in my posts.

I appears that you are doing good work Desmond. Thank you and all involved!

That's not going to happen. We can always start a new thread at the end of the presentation with all of the info in 1-2 posts.

can he not start a thread that's closed to comments.. then just post info and updates without the clutter

The forum admin would need to make him a moderator. Personally, I feel that editing comments should be allowed, Desmond would then only need to update his first post in the thread keeping all info in one simple and clean layout rather than having things as scattered as they are now.

Start a blog on Googles blogger?

Be excited and pumped up. not crazy. Put yourself in his shoes.

Before in interview or meeting I slam a Monster (the green ones) or take a caffeine pill with asprin with lots of water. WARNING you'll have to pee so can't drag this out forever.

No, everything should stay on Bald Truth Talk. Fragmenting information confuses anyone who isn't part of this forum.

Sounds good. FYI I stopped coming to this section/forum because of the pages of BS. You might say fine but I would off love to donate to this adventure but the countless pages of BS is to much for me and my time to filter.

Is there a Blog feature on BTT?

You're right again. The idea of putting the Desmond matters on different sites all over the place is a mistake. People will have to go all over the place to follow the action. It' would be a mess.

Amazing Desmond!

You're a beast brah!

[rdawg]

Awesome stuff Desmond keep it coming!!

BTT does have a blog feature and if Desmond would like he can have access to create his own blog.

Here's and example of how the feature looks:

Hi guys,

Just finished the interview with Dr Atac & Dr Linder. They are now officially my heroes of hair regeneration. First of all, I should say they were the nicest ppl I have spoken to who are really passionate about their work. I think I made 2 very good friends today and that is a great achievement in itself.

Also, they didn't feel comfortable recording this interview in case they mention something that may jeopardise their unpublished work or give their competitors the upper hand. But they did agree to have a casual talk about their work and I was allowed to take notes They also showed me a few slides on their laptop on their current work. I have assured them that I will not disclose anything they are not happy with and will forward a written copy of my account before I post it on BTT. So give it some time before I can provide the full details of this truly mind blowing discussion I had with them.

What I will say for now however is that their research on hair regeneration did not stop in 2010 after Dr Lauster's paper was published. Their work continued at a much faster pace than I had imagined. One important point I should make is they are only working with human cells and have overcome a lot of problems that we had imagined in terms of culturing DP cells. Their talk tomorrow will also cover some of that.

I was really taken back by all the slides they were showing me and how much they have achieved. Inspiring stuff. Sorry for not disclosing too much yet. I will give you the full details once they give me the green light.

Also Hell, they agreed to send me a pdf document of the slides they were showing me. Could you pm me Dr Linder's email address. Thank you so much.

Guys one thing I can say is that our dreams are in the making. There are so much work being put into the hair research that I had not expected. I am merely scratching the surface. Wish we had more ppl here to cover all the talks and poster presentations.

What a day. I'll talking to Dr Cotsarelis a bit later today.

Desmond,

I am having goosebumps right now... tears are forming. I haven't felt what I'm feeling right now in years. I always knew we as a community could achieve incredible things and still know we could do so much more. Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you for your dedication and initiative on representing all of us.

I will rope you in on a 3 way email between myself and Dr. Gerd Lindner, so he'll know not to have your account end up in a spam filter.

Great work Desmond, absolutely incredible. If I'm ever near your stomping grounds, I'm buying you multiple rounds of expensive champagne, or here in Canada should you ever decide to visit.

what you guyz have achieved is amazing, I was away travelling and did not follow and now I see that thread!!!

You demonstrated that a community on a forum can have a real strong voice and get real.

A cure for baldness (meaning a real definitive one with no side effects), in terms of money making for who finds it and commercialises it, would be a billions of dollars maker + the fact that this company will help sooooo many people.
And with the huge benefits they for sure would make, they could reinvest in research for other treatments like a domino effect.

The demand for a treatment is just enormous, people would pay for a real thing, when you see what people can already pay for very not convincing transplants and coverage.


What would be the next step in terms of expressing how in the interest of everybody, the venue of a final cure would be?
It is true that we have to stop with the promoting the actual (not efficient at all or too risky) treatments.

Desmond and Hell and Arashi, again, thank you, it seems to really move forward, I hope we will have a bite on the cure cake Meanwhile, let's all save a bit of money, we might need it in a year or two or three

Great work Desmond! I'd love to hear more about Cotsarelis and his presentation (what has Follica been up to with regards to the whole fgf9 thing??).

I'm looking forward to the congress being over and reading about all this! Keep it up Desmond and thanks again!
