Cure has accidentally been found

[inbrugge]

I am cautiously optimistic about this. The theory and mechanisms does sound logically plausible.

Though for all of the naysayers saying that “this is not a cure” – Eventually a seemly small discovery such as this could be the answer. Heck, this just might be it, but might take a few years for the proof of concept to be validated.

That's the problem, my friend. 'A few years' means at least10 years before something MIGHT make it to the market. Look at all the findings about PGD2/PGE2. Those have been around since 2006 and we still don't have any specific PGD targeting medicines.

Maybe something can accelerate this, such as crowdfunding topic suggests...

The word cure is so over used. Why even use the word cure in some extremely preliminary research like this? I mean future treatment is a stretch but much more believable. I take cure to mean you can regrow any amount of hair you want and its completely under human control

A mythical bird could drop a giant sized turd on top of a mouse and it'd grow more hair than a gorilla.

Either these mice don't have hair loss or as you say, everything cures hair loss in mice. I'd like to see these same efforts done on humans... (we know it wont be done, mens health is irrelevant).

Hi Hellouser , I can't forget last year in a dermaroller forum a day before new year you wrote :

All I want is my hairline back..my hairline back .

It was simple . I wish you've got good result with your hair this year or at least get better result in the next year my friend.

This article gives me a major Déjà vu feeling.

The article btw is also featured on the dailyfail website where it says

The study's authors believe their findings could also influence approaches to tissue regeneration, ageing and cancer.

Yeahyeah, it's a miracle I tell you. It cures baldness, cancer, anti-aging, probably Alzheimer, Aids, Ebola and creates unicorns.
Just to give you an impression of the reliability of the article.

Hi there,

Although i am not really active in this forum and just try to find news about this topic from time to time - i did find this article.
It says that some scientists have accidentally found a cure for baldness.

They were looking for a cancer treatment and could reactivate hair follicles. The tests on mice have been succesful and now they will do further human testings.

Hope that this is exciting news for you and i can end 2014 with a smile in your faces )

This "short" version doesn't do the research paper justice. Here is where you can download the original study.
The original article indicates new information on a "piece of the puzzle" of hair loss. Other factors are involved that need to be addressed. Another step in the right direction, but not a cure.

' I think Bloody Mary mix and Drāno could regrow fur on those little bastards.' best thing I've heard this year

It's because regular AGA bald apparently doesn't deserve the same kind of sympathy or attention as any other form of alopecia... why? Because AGA affects men, not women. Men's health isn't important. Women have benefitted GREATLY with health research, it should be NO surprise that they live 4-6 years longer on average.. but feminists won't mention THAT inequality

Not that I like feminist, I even consider myself an anti feminst, but so far I haven't heard of feminist trying to prohibit research on men's health, at least not from my country. Be that as it may. Both genders have benefited greatly from research on health.

You then drag in average life span and the way you wrote your post it seems like you say feminist prohibit research on male health, therefor women live longer by 4-6 years. This is dishonest, there are many factors here:

- Infant boys die more often than infant girls as of percentage.
- Men work more than women, so more stress full life.
- Men work in riskier jobs than women, higher chance of death.
- Way more men die in war than women.
- And men are at a much higher risk of assault in general.
- More men smoke, and they tend to smoke more.
- More men drink, and use drugs in general....
- Men commit more suicide than women.

Just to name a few factors. I understand you are frustrated, and I guess you will continue to be there until there is a cure-one-time-operation-no-side-effects-treatment. I don't blame you for that, I share the same frustration perhaps.

not even a response from Dr. Angela Christiano or Dr. Brett King when I asked them about doing a SINGLE case trial for the use of Tofacinitinib on AGA. NOTHING, no response at all.

probably because you sound batchit crazy half the time. i can't find fault with the notion that a serious doctor won't give you the time of day.

It's funny because it's true.

Tell me; how far have you got with any openness from researchers by being a good little boy?

I've spoken to many researchers and other people I didn't know prior to emailing. You can't send them psychotic emails full of rage and conspiracy theories. Obviously they aren't going to respond to that.

I believe I can be an effective treatment
Use CD Liu and see new hair with 4 complete cycles
