follicept - what's this?

[noisette]

Many thanks Devon to take your time to explain us some things. I'm very exciting about the results. GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU.

As a diffuse hair loss sufferer, I am thoroughly excited that you are expecting positive results with this kind of hair loss. All I really need is something to beef up what I have left. Everything crossed for you Follicept and even if it don't work, thanks for giving it a shot, having integrity and being honest throughout.

Thx Devon, i will tattoo follicpet logo on my vertex if it work, no one will ever know ahahah

Ofc We all want to know how igf works on follicle, but do you consider the possibility to add other proven active ingredients to follicpet to help the regrowth? I posted the caffeine as testosterone antagonist on receptor for example that are used in some shampoo, but there are lots of other leaf extract that never had a real vehicle but with some interesting publications on mouse, or Zinc and Copper that like igf are decreased on follicle in people with aga but are normal in the body, if other ingredients doesn't ruin the igf in follicept you must use everything that can help hairgrowth

I believe Devon has said that for now, IGF-1 is the only thing they are testing, since other products might require FDA approval. I feel like caffeine would be one of those. Could be wrong, though.

Gotta start simple. Simple is the ultimate sophistication. Everyone has tried to tackle this problem by just dumping everything that could possibly be somewhat related in any way at all to hair loss into a formulation. We have a hypothesis, and we will test it. From there, we can build and add if needed. I think part of the reason we don't know more is that people are just throwing everything together. I know that it's because testing is expensive, so people want to boost the chances of it working, but I think that holds back the science a bit. Just my uninformed opinion.

F*** it, I'll get a Follicept tattoo as well if it works.

I have it in writing. Nameless- THAT is a contract

I was ready to walk away from the forums, not the project, based on the flaming and negativity.

More lurkers than posters. Thanks for sticking around.

Maybe post once a week at a certain time?? I get tired of wading through pages of people that sounds like they are married.

In a perfect world, I can start this Monday, and begin Follicept Fridays for an update with pics and videos! Just an idea, but TBD. Thinking about that for a while.

I don't think some minerals or leaf extracts in micro formulations need fda trials at all, we are talking about stuff that can be found in larger dose in supplements and some apple, rosmarin, and other stuff extract, they works in a lot of publications but no one can make a right vehicle or never tried

I was thinking more specifically caffeine since I figured it might be classed a "drug" by the FDA. Plant extracts are less worrisome, lord knows there are a million useless products containing every plant extract under the sun with no FDA approval.

They'll probably try something new if it fails. Gotta fund that insulin patch somehow

What a boss post.

[Arashi]

look at nameless striking a conciliatory tone all of a sudden.... now that he sees the vile is here and ready to go LoL

Well I'd never thought I'd step in for jarjarbinx, but the guy is right, he never claimed this cant work, just that the odds are against it. We all hope it will work, but chances are dim. We'll see soon enough though !

If you define snake-oil as an INTENTIONALLY deceptive product then I'm 99% sure that Follicept is NOT snake-oil because I highly doubt that the treatment is an INTENTIONAL deceit. It's obvious that Follicept is genuinely trying to determine if IGF-1 can reverse hair loss inside of the Follicept vehicle. It's doubtful that it will work but if it doesn't work it won't be because of anything inappropriate by Follicept. That's as plain as the noses on our faces.

Why is it doubtful that it will work?

Nobody has done the test they are doing. If anything, there is anecdotal forum posts AND scientific publications that would lead one to lean towards this working.
