That's the FTC- Federal Trade Commission. They are responsible for punishing scammers, cracking down on false advertising, etc. if consumers are "harmed" (not in the medical sense, but scammed sense). They actually have more legal authority than the FDA. The FDA must get the Department of Justice to intervene from a legal standpoint if and when required."
    If you really think this is a scam, give the FTC a phone call. They'll probably laugh at you and send you back to your plebeian life.

    Clion, Arishi is wrong about Follicept being a scam. And he's wrong to jump the gun and say the product doesn't work before it's even tested. But it's still in everyone's best interests to have some skepticism in the ranks. I understand that when Arishi uses terms like "scam" that offends Devon, but Devon is going to have to keep in mind that Arishi has seen a lot of scams and so he is understandably suspicious of any baldness cure. If Follicept's treatment proves to be a better mousetrap I guarantee that Arishi will pay Devon the highest compliment by spending his hard earned money to buy Devon's product. Hell, Swooping already said that if it works he'll kiss Devon.

      Follicept has a Facebook page, and I asked when they expect results. Was told a couple of weeks. I suggest you guys take a break until further news.

        For all of you that say this is a scam

        A scam?!? Enough already. How could you even come to that conclusion? I never studied hair biology specifically, but I personally worked in a molecular bio lab for years, have published papers, and have been a prof of this stuff for 2 years. I don't say for any other purpose besides to show some respect for Devon's lab.
        People in respected labs DO NOT dedicate years and years of their lives to earn PhD's, publish scientific findings and become respected professors and members of the scientific community in order to profit off of some snake oil. Come off it! You already know that this lab is reputable, right? I have met and worked along side of hundreds of biology prof's and not a single one would risk their reputation for some potential scam product. I COMPLETELY understand where you are coming from, more than you know, but Let it go.

          Just watched this with Devon and Dr. Hsu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBiOUNM9Nx4

          Respect level - 10^100000000000000000000000000000

          What a beautiful mind Dr. Hsu has. His words are so enlightening. It is so much more than hair regrowth here. I am seriously impressed by your drive to serve and save people's lives, and actually do something to underserved populations. Much respect. You guys are far too good, far too passionate, far too down to earth to be insulted by these fools. But you have dealt with it beautifully. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...ffc3878880.jpg

                I am 100% serious when I say that there will be an Indiegogo level/perk that you guys can contribute to for me to fly out and hand deliver a dose to swooping and get my kiss. No joke. It will be fun He can kiss my former bald spot.

                  Thanks for that! That really means a lot to us. He is truly an amazing individual, and worth my sticking through these tough times with him. I could be off doing quite well for myself- I turned down some pretty handsome offers with fortune 500 companies to do this. My defense of who we are and what we're doing on this forum has not been for approval only. I was just trying to convey our hearts and sincerity. Your, or anyone's opinion is not why we do this but for the patient populations we serve- insulin, AGA, future vaccines, etc. This is why we exist. Like I said, once we clear the hurdle, I will let you know what we had to do to make all this happen.

                  And I was serious- anyone in Cincinatti? Flying out tomorrow. Let's grab a beer.

                    you people calling Follicept a scam are truly despicable. It's actually just like 2 or 3 people lol. It may or may not work. One thing is for sure. There is absolutely zero justification to be using the word scam so loosely. They are not selling anything yet. They are waiting to show us results. One thing to be skeptical, another to be aggressively and unjustifiably derogatory. ya'll need to hold your horses till we see some results

                        Hi Devon,

                        I'm French and i registered here just for you and your futur product. I really appreciate your interventions here. Please apologize those who insult you without any proof. We need your posts and the majority here don't want you to leave this forum. Please stay with us. You gave us an hope. I verified all you have done with your team since you start to have a print on the web. I have a master's degree in international management. My job is similar with yours. I saw your structure. I know that you are really serious.

                        I have two questions very direct for you:
                        - On your website, we can see a comparison with Rogaine. Do you think (i know you have not yet tested it on humans, but i want your personnal opinion) that the results could be a lot more efficient than Rogaine? Cause Rogaine, for me, give very very small results for AAG. If your product is comparable to Rogaine without side effects, i think we will be very disapointed.

                        - To extend this question. Do you think (your opinion of non-scientist) that a person who use Follicept can recover at least 30% of his lost hair (if we consider that it will work on 70-80% of people like antibiotics) ?

                        I know that my questions are very direct, but you created an hope. I sincerly think that you are in a good way. But we need to know if it can be spectacular or just a product which give small results like Rogaine. I decided to wait your product before thinking about FUE. For me, your answers are very important to take a decision.

                        Thank you in advance for your answer.
                        PS: Please excuse my poor english.
                        PS2: There is a thread opened on a french forum about Follicept (Doctissimo). There are 37 pages. People are so excited. Keep in mind that in Europe we are waiting a solution like americans and we have the same purchasing power (maybe more, Rogaine is more expensive for us). If you want i can translate your website in french or spanish graciously and help you on the web for Europe. But don't forget us.

                          I am active on hair-loss forums in Sweden and can inform that the interest is very big and positive in Scandinavia too. I can understand if this global attention is a little stressful for you Devon. Just remember that we are hundreds of thousands men and woman out there supporting you and hoping for the best. Even if it will not work exactly as expected we thank you for trying and being as open and honest as you have been. Don't let the 2-3 naysayers on this forum affect your mood, just because they make the most noise.

                          Keep up the good work, the next coming weeks/months will be very exciting!

                            Dude if is effective as rogaine it will be almost a gold standard for the hairloss treatment, right now nothing is effective as rogaine as thickening and give us new hairs, sadly you are in the minority minox didn't work, but it doesn't mean that it's useless or that follicpet will not be effective on you anyway ( but first we need to know it work on human)

                              I never used any product. I just read some studies and it's not great. Combination Minox+Finasterid has more impact. But we need a revolution, not a new placebo with small effects.

                                I had some very minor regrowth with minox, but you hit a wall after so long and it doesn't really work in the long run. My hair is worse off now than when I started using Minoxidil. It's pretty much pointless unless you're also on fin. The only use I have for it now is as a vehicle for RU. If Follicept can at least stabilise further loss, I'd be content. I'm really hoping it will work and that not only can it stop hair loss but induce some regrowth too. If I could boost my hair by about 30%, I'd be reasonably happy. It's not the end of the world if it doesn't work. I'm prepared for that and we will just have to carry on.
