Devon,

The picture of the rat that received the treatment seems to gain about 20% of its hairs and only vellus (thin, wispy) hairs. Do you have a reason to believe it will work differently with humans? I am unable to find yours or Dr. Hsu's beliefs on this topic in the documents you've released.

^^^ From the follicept website discussion. Do you guys know anything about this?

Devon's response to that -

"I addressed this at some point- I think on one of the long threads on BTT. Those aren't necessarily vellus hairs, that's just what that kind of rat's hair looks like. We chose them because they have a gene that knocks out hair growth, making follicles stunted and any hair that does grow appear wiry, kinked, and white. The lack of pigment has to do with their genetics and not the performance of the product. This help?"

You bring up a very interesting question. I guess they don't know until after an extended period of time with the trial participants.

Last thing we all care for is a bunch a light vellus hairs or peach fuzz.

Haha. Good enough!

Mentally, I would put you in the same approximate category as Devon. I feel you are comparable to me at least. Good to know.

No, your dating life. Are you single? Are you interested in dating a NW2 with a receding hairline? <3

Of course I mean your hairloss situation.

Easy there. One question at a time please. Let me see if I can tackle them all.

1. Not single. Dating a smokeshow of a girl.
2. No, not gay. Sorry bud.
3. Clear receding hairline. Corners going lighting quick. Diffuse hair thinning throughout top of my scalp. Crown is now starting to thin at a noticeable rate compared to rest of diffuse scalp. I have decent coverage as long as you don't have a bucket of water near by to dump on my head. No slick bald spots on scalp yet. 29 year old male. NW2 approaching NW2.5 quickly.

Good enough?

Sounds good!

Btw. what is your current situation, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm assuming you're referencing my current hairloss situation?

Hey guys. Just had a Skype session with Devon @ Follicept. Couldn't be a nicer guy to be honest. I didn't drill him with questions, as I figured if we met there would be a time for that. We discussed me being a participant in the current trials. He's on board with it, but he needs approval from Dr. Hsu.

At this time, I am not a confirmed participant, but hopefully I will have an answer in the next week regarding this. We both agree it would be beneficial for me to participate considering the numerous skeptics on this board and the idea of having one of our own as a trial participant to personally track my progress. He and I see this as an opportunity to validate to forum members on here the potential of this treatment and what they are trying to do.

I'll keep everyone posted regarding my status on being a potential participant. They don't have much more room for participants, but hopefully Devon can make this happen so I can be the voice on this forum for this treatment and its effectiveness.

Sounds good!

[QUOTE=follicept;206948]He accepted it, saying he would pay to fly me out haha. No need to defend him- he is plenty capable. If I lose the bet, he gets to be right for the rest of his life and shame me for my efforts. Not a bad deal. QUOTE]

Not a bad deal? Huh? If you the bet he gets to be right for the rest of his life and shame you for his efforts and that is all he gets??? If he loses the bet then you get to be right and you get to shame him for the rest of his life PLUS you get a free trip somewhere. If you win you get everything he gets PLUS you also get a free trop and if you win you will be the one who will least need financial help to take a trip. In other words if you win you will become a filthy rich guy and you will get Swooping (a regular middle class guy) to pay for you to take a trip. LOL. You definitely got the better end of this deal/bet.

Good question. For me AT MOST 6 months. I will probably lose hope if I don't see anything by the 4 month mark though.

I would say this is fair...

So, could we count with your ban in 6 months? You were the one that brought that again, what are the supporters willing to bet?

Lmao. You guys were the ones offering on your own first. But sure man,go ahead with the ban.
