You guys are funny.
Bill Gates is not going to fund Cotseralis wounding treatment. LOL!
Other researchers are progressing with cell-based therapies so that means that Bill Gates does not need to fund Cotserlis's wounding therapy. Gates will simply wait for the progressing cell based therapies to come to market. He does not need to fund anyone.Comment

Crowd Funding
from Desmond's interview with Cotsarelis, he seemed open to the idea of crowd funding. lets start a campaign to fund him. we only need to know how does his product work. if it is different than minoxidil and fin(PGD2 stuff) then enhanced results is expected combined. I think it will be a viable option. the initiative can be on a global scale. many kick starter projects succeeded. think about oculus rift and facebook.Comment

I'm opposed to any and all half-assed attempts of a crowdfunding. These things take months of planning and a team of dedicated people.from Desmond's interview with Cotsarelis, he seemed open to the idea of crowd funding. lets start a campaign to fund him. we only need to know how does his product work. if it is different than minoxidil and fin(PGD2 stuff) then enhanced results is expected combined.

He is also unsympathetic:
"Rich people spend a lot more money on their own problems, like baldness, than they do to fight malaria," Gates told the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Baldness is an easy target, there are plenty of other ailments of the 'developed world' that he could have singled out, but they wouldn't have been as headline grabbing.Comment

you didn't need to be rude. I know that it will take us months if not a full year or more. I am saying that it is doable. and Please Lead us master. go make it a full-assed attempt.Comment

He's also ignorant, as baldness gets little attention in research where as life threatening diseases and conditions receive billions of dollars. But it needs to be said, had he ran into a woman that was prime minister with hair loss that went for treatment, he'd NEVER had made a comment like that. Everyone outside of the hair loss community has deemed baldness as a requirement to mock.He is also unsympathetic:

Its disgusting.Comment

A lot of you guys seem to just think 'lets crowdfund, it'll be easy!' It's not easy, its very time consuming. It is, however as you already know, very possible to succeed.
I just don't have faith in many members willing to put in the effort. Otherwise, I and maybe a few others would be stuck on our own. Which is fine, I can take all the glory when it comes to doing something proactive... at least I'd know I contributed.
I think next week I'm going to start a thread point out all the necessary steps.Comment

That's just awesome Desmond, can't wait to hear it !! This was basically my personal goal for the conference (to find out where we are and what's standing between us and a cure) so you've already found that out, can't wait to hear it !!Hahaha Arashi its a pleasure my man
Finally getting a clear picture of where we are is truly interesting.
I actually asked exactly the same question from Dr Atac/Linder. We discussed Tsuji teams work and Dr Jahoda/Christiano. Their answer was very intriguing indeed and made me realise how far along they are. I'll let you know what they said once they give me the green light.
I got the answers to that question and it is VERY positive indeed albeit we are not there yet but very close.

This also is extremely interesting man ... Looking forward to hear more !I also have some insight into why Aderans failed to achieve any impressive results and it was very much along the lines of what we had speculated on the forum. I'll post more about that when I get a chance...Comment

forget about Gates.. there are many balding stars that we know and probably many who are fighting it and hiding it
matthew mcconaughey
jude law
travolta
Kiefer Sutherland
Jason Statham
etc etc etc etc..
even donald trump
it's everywhere
get these guys together to privately fund for a cureComment

And LOL that they blocked Nigam from speaking
I'm very happy with that. I know for a fact that for him this was ALL about marketing, he wanted to put pictures of him speaking on this conference all over the internet, just to give himself credibility. I'm so happy they saw through it. Hopefully Nigam will be banned from all future conferences too.

LOL. You are so funny JarJarbinx. You want Nigam to perform some cutting edge technique on you ? Look at Boldy, Nigam cant even do a regular hair transplant, he implanted grafts upside down and you want this guy to operate on you ? Look at Wesley, the guy almost died and you want Nigam to do the same to you ? Sorry but that's just absurd. We can use Nigam exactly like a pain in the ass. Forget about that guy. If a cure sees the light, then there are tons of others, CAPABLE doctors who actually DO know what they're doing, who want to make a few million dollars. No need for Nigam at all.I'm not as convinced as everyone else here that this is good news for the following reasons:
1. As far as I know he is the only doctor in the world who WAS willing to try these cell treatments on us early. I think that by shutting him down we have cut off our nose to spite our face.Comment

Hell I don't know you but you seem like a resourceful guy and have connections
why not concentrate some effort to get in touch with some famous people and see what you can come up with?Comment

I hope the positional good theory is rendered useless one day where all of us here on the forum can experience that feeling.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=280033615484808
Hope to see this face expression in all of us someday
So far, being a balding man feels like society wants us to remain at the bottom of the totem pole. Time to change that... perhaps a cure for human greed and selfishness rather than a cure for baldness?Comment
