follicept - what's this?

[hellouser]

please Devon keep us posted. Dear Lord this world is an extraordinarily cruel place for someone with AGA. I could write paragraphs upon paragraphs right now describing how much pure suffering my hairline has caused me, but I will save everyone's time.

I could write even more paragraphs about how society feels arrogant enough to think we don't deserve a cure or even treatment.

And here comes the 1 post members bigging the product up. Smells like pilox. Smells like bullshit.

Not sure what that means but can tell you I have not asked anyone to post anything on here. I'm just responding to the community. I never thought we'd get this kind of attention and response before results, which is slightly terrifying haha. Once we demonstrate effectiveness we'll step up marketing but I would never have people clog up a forum that's been so helpful.

You mean that you doubt my honesty, right? ( I am korean so i cannot interpret that sentence exactly...) If so, plz do not suspect me. What can I do for you to prove my honesty?

He's just being antagonistic. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of a lurker.

Maybe gainspotter has a stronger sense of smell than I, but I do not personally smell any faeces of the bull variety.

Thanks follicept/Devon for the update. It's obvious you've read the posts on this thread and taken people's concerns on board. I'm happy with the explanation/honesty regarding the inconsistencies in the rat photos, and I'm glad to hear you'll have measures in place to ensure better quality ones are taken for the human trials. Consistent, high quality photos will be the proof in the pudding for all the users on here.

A lot of the guys appreciate the time and effort you're taking to get the work done and to answer our questions and concerns. Good luck with the progress, please keep us updated and I look forward to seeing the trials begin.

Devon/follicept is there anything we can do as a community to help move this along, I.e. donating some money. I think a majority of us would be willing to donate a small amount. Say between $10 and $50, if it would help get the formulation get to market faster. It may not be a lot but if a few hundred members donated maybe it could help?!

thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to bring us up-to-date.

You think it's wise to donate money to a treatment that hasn't even been properly tested yet? Don't waste your money yet.

i "donated" so much money over the years in snake oil, shampoo, supplements that i don't really mind few euro donated, but i don't think we can help with 3-4k$ now, they have problems with their supply and i don't think we can speed up the trials with few thousands

It's sad because i thought by the end of this month they could alredy start everything and maybe we could see something in few weeks according to them (somethign i can't still understand, how can they notice new hairs when we need months with minox and propecia, i'd like to have an answer to that), well personally i will wait another month then i will jump in big 2-3, i'm still waiting because they said they can be not necessary if works (and i don't really want to start minox or propecia at all) but i am in seasonal shedding and i can't really lose more ground otherwise i will advance another nw, let's hope the trial begin next week

Of course he thinks it's wise but that just shows how foolish and unintelligent he is. No wonder people so many people scam bald guys since bald guys like him are out there screaming, "Please take my money."

Many thanks for your Update, Devon. I really hope that your product is finally the winner ! Best wishes

MoolahLea- Dr. Hsu lived and worked in Singapore for several years, so we know where it is!

Nameless- I believe we are using human version- that's the reason we're having supply issues

Jonathan- the formulation will come pre-mixed. It would be very dangerous to mix your own treatments. However, over the long term, we could absolutely explore delivering these other drugs transdermally. That would be several years to get to market though

EXprettyboy- happy to do so! Thanks for all the time and effort you guys take.

DanWS- will do! Thanks for the encouragement

NOhairNOlife- man, I cannot tell you how much that means to me and us. It has been a struggle and question we keep facing. It would be helpful, but we cannot in good conscience take it- we need to at least prove it has a chance of working for a good amount of people. If it failed, and we accepted money, we would feel terrible. The plan is to get some early results, and open up an Indiegogo once we do that in order to raise some funds to get to market. It will basically be a presale, though you could throw more our way if so inclined. Just your offer really means a lot- but if we accept, it would just put us in the same category of people we refuse to be- taking money with empty promises.

Thanks everyone!

Devon

Yes i do. Trust me I've wasted more money, on less important things in my life, so parting with $50 is no biggie. I like Devon's/follicept's honesty and willingins to share with the community. Even if this ends up going nowhere that's fine, it's nice to see somebody trying to get something to market in a reasonable time period and cost.

Guys let's try to keep the negativity, bickering and off-topic comments to a minimum.

This is where you miss the point entirely. Honesty is not merited in the company promising you the world on a forum. It's in the genuine clinical trials. Results from these is where you will find their honesty.
