Follicept Trials- Discussion About Trial Only

[Jagger]

I'm trying to understand your reasoning here. So on the one hand you have a shot at making billions of dollars. Yet on the other hand you dont want to put up decent proof and shave your hair to convince people here.

Let's say you think yourself there's 33% chance this works. Simple maths teaches us that 33% of 3 billion dollars is still 1 billion dollar. So that's then what your company should be worth in your opinion. Yet you don't care about shaving your hair to make a very good case to prove it.

Not trying to disrespect you, just trying to understand your reasoning. Cause I know that anybody with such chances of making so much money would probably shave ANY body part and post pictures here So, just trying to understand you why you don't want to shave with so much money lying within reach.

He says the results will be quite evident if it works. I personally don't think a buzzcut is necessary - Devon isn't the only one trialing the gel. The other subjects, especially ones with bald spots, would be pretty easy to see the difference in, I'd imagine. This is all assuming it works, of course. At any rate, we'll know within the next few weeks.

Everyone on here gives a F what people think lol. We are all skeptical. If I were 100% certain, I would of course buzz, knowing I would be rich very soon hahaha. Getting a haircut today. Short but probably not buzz. Trust me, with pictures and HD video, it will be pretty clear. If it isn't visible enough without buzzing, we have a product that works maybe as well as Rogaine. Good luck to us trying to compete with a FDA approved product with hundreds of millions of marketing dollars behind us. If it works as well as we hope, haircut won't mean anything.

That said, there are several of us starting the trial. A couple older guys with very visible balding/receded hairline, diffuse thinning, and myself and a friend of ours who is like 22 or 23 with diffuse thinning. So we will have some variety and some good progress shots and video, pull tests, etc.

It'll be clear that we have a winner, or that we don't.

Hi Devon, many thanks for the news and for the document made by Dr. Hsu.

Ps: You don't have to answer to Arashi. He is a giant troll. If you answer him he will continue with allegations and defamation. He doesn't deserve to see the result. He doesn't deserve Follicept if it works.

Devon , I understand you don't want to buzz.. i don't want to buzz either because it emphasizes the balding in my case. However, who gives an F what people think, if it works you are going to be stacking millions on millions. Worth the buzz cut ImO if you actually believe in the product

completely agree here. For some reason my earlier posts didnt show.
ANyhow, good luck Devon!

[clandestine]

Buzz cut is absolutely necessary to properly gauge results (or lack thereof).

[nameless]

Been following follicept threads for a while, such a mess with all these experts haha!

Posting first time here to really stress the necessity of a shorter haircut to asses results. U dont need to shave everything off, but no longer than 1 cm is ideal. Anyways hair grows back pretty fast if u have some left :P.

@Devon @Follicept - You must get a buzz cut. I'm sure you would good in it man. The buzz cut as a baseline prior to the trial and proper pictures with the correct lighting and exposure is the only way to proove that IGF-1 is working. There are many doubters on this forum and rightfully so. The only way to prove this works is through a proper buzz cut, before and after pictures in proper lighting.

Please get a buzz cut man! Just do it...

Huge Bruce Springsteen fan. Someone on here hit the nail on the head- ultra zoomed in brightly lit photos means it doesn't work well. I am hoping it will be very readily apparent that it's different. Already started making the youtube channel for broadcast/recording the results, and will keep you updated. Talk to you all Monday.

If still you don't have tricoschan i suggest you buy right now a 20$ usb microscope from amazon, it's the only way to see some vellus with long hairs

C'mon follicept!!!

You'd do the trial a disservice without a buzzcut. I've seen countless of "been X months on XYZ1234 that I ordered from China, does my hair look thicker?" It's impossible to tell when there's too much hair. Hair can be cut to let you comb over thin areas or vertex. You can add some fibers to make it thicker. And so on and so on. Buzzcut so it's possible to see existing thinning and any potential regrowth.
