i dont like plugging things I'm really curious what exactly it is and where to get it Is there a blog of skeptics on this, i'm very skeptical but I want to hear other people

[JayM]

also, what is this on google about UK and India? Anyone have more information on exactly WHAT that is?

hm

Doesn't the world wide scientific community in biotech with hairloss share all their information with each other? Or are they secretive? How else do you patent something without revealing exactly what it is your patenting?

If that's the case than every hairloss company in the world is rivaling each other right?
If that is NOT the case than that means humanity's scientific potential is not living up to it's maximum potential and so then how much money would it take to buy off and aggregate all the smartest minds in the world into one collective shared understanding if Replicel was bought out for pennies on the dollar (4m)

Well, what I'm saying is that they probably aren't behind in the race. It stands to reason they were the best bet at this point. It stands to reason that Shiseido would've bought Lauster's technology if it was better. Keep in mind that Shiseido themselves have several top hair loss scientists on their staff; I'm sure they know where Lauster and others are in the race.

These are assumptions.

With that logic, how did Replicel get the funding while being behind in the race?

i mean, they will do phase 2 trial that will take 3 years, pretty long phase 2 it means that they really dont know if the product could work or not. i have a lot of respect in replicel and its doctor/research they seems very skilled (I mean a giant like shiseido choose to buy the replicel treatment instead of develop their own, so theorically they know that they could not do a better one) and if that kind of people dont know if the product would work or not it isnt a good thing.
the hair follicle is a very complex organ but we have to care about just two type of cells dermal papilla and dermal sheat cup. the first could not be cloned the second nobody have an idea if they could work or not.
futhermore, in the last survey about if the next treatment for hair loss would be cell/cloning etc. 50% of the doctor said yes (if you would do this survey here 100% of us would say yes).
we have to think hair loss will never be cured?

The trial has to be that long to determine whether it does actually prevent further loss in the hair you already have.

It sounds stupid but look at that show silicon valley, he had something that would make billions and he still had problems with funding due to different reasons. I know its a show but it seems pretty accurate. Shiseido still took a risk on something that was not for sure at the time but on top of everything they paid replicel, they opened their own facility and funded their own trials.

What a joke Replicel is!!! The sec should investigate this company, it can very well be a pump & dump scheme.

[rdawg]

Alot of negative speculation here, we have no idea what's going on with Replicel, they have an interesting theory but to say much beyond that is just complete guess work.

They're beginning phase II at the end of the year/early next year, they're a bit behind other companies but at the very least they are definitely starting soon. yes it took a bit to start up but sometimes companies can trend sideways and need to do a bit more research before moving forward, this was never a basic concept and they've probably made a few changes since phase I.

Have you seen his presentation material where he presents results and proposes concise steps to reach the cure, based on what he knows from previous research? I haven't seen it, so I can't say, but it just stands to reason that it's not convincing. Nobody is stupid enough to pass up a cash cow like the cure for baldness if someone actually has it. If you have seen this material, I'd love to look at it as I'm not clear on what he's achieved.

[TJT]

Then explain their ignorance.

So you think that investors don't sink their money into a money-making venture due to disrespect? Come on man, I'm sure you're smarter than that!
The way the world works is that investors invest in ventures that will (likely) make them more money. There is no doubt that the cure for baldness would produce an enormous amount of money for the provider of the technology. It stands to reason that there wasn't adequate proof of Lauster's ability to provide the cure. Disrespect has nothing to do with business decisions.

Lauster is further ahead in the cure for baldness than any other doctor in the world. His team was looking for investors for funding to run an in vitro trials. They got denied.

Like I said, baldness is disrespected.
