Dr Nigam agrees to doubling slick NW6/NW7

[One]

It actually makes me angry. If this is the best quality photo's Nigams can make, then just please stop. Just stop man. You're not going to convince anybody with a blurry 1 megapixel photo.

"2) day 1 - (5th November 2013) ,day 2 (6th November ), day 3 ( 7th November ), day 4 ( 8th November )
On day 1 to day 4 we intend to extract 80- 90 % of his donor hair ."

-------------------

Well Arashi, Dr. Nigam wrote that the operation is scheduled for November 5.
So, there's almost a month to have dozens of new photos.
Get from the Internet pictures of Nw 7 which are clear and inseriamole inviamole in the forums or by email at Nigam well knows how to capture them.

Not seeing what are you talking about? That picture is the back of his head, it makes it very clear, as do others, that he is extremely bald. There is no debating that, it's made clear from the pictures. We could stand to do with a little more brightness but lets not be ridiculous, the man has no hair line, thats abundantly clear from the side view pics http://www.drnigams.net/images/js/large/3.JPG

I agree with this mostly.

However I also agree about the photos, they are shite unfortunately, it's clearly a very old camera phone, no normal camera could possibly take photos this bad even if you tried lol.

Photos this bad reduce his credibility imo.

On a positive it's clear the guy is completely bald, but unless he us able to take better photos on his next visit then we're not going to be able to get a good luck at the donor and how many hairs per graft etc.

I just made my point in that thread. It basically is this:

Maybe he is. He looks like it, that much I can say. But it's hard to tell from these photo's. I really don't get it Dr Nigams. You know, when I went for my surgery, I asked my collegue to shoot some photo's I could send them over. He had just bought a $1000 DSLR cam. This guy is un-technical as they get, he doesn't know anything about technology or how to shoot photo's. He just had the cam in a few days and basically just only pressed the button to shoot a picture. This is the quality:

If somebody totally unskilled can shoot photo's like this, by just clicking 1 button, with a nonprofessional (but decent) camera, then why do you keep showing us photo's like you've just uploaded ? Most cellphone's can make better ones !

Also, again, please ask this patient to send you a few photo's, preferably from a few years back too. It would give the case a lot more credibility.

And lastly, when are you going to operate on Thane ?

[hellouser]

Any way of finding out what kind of camera Dr. Nigam used for those photos?

[Arashi]

Exactly my point, Gaz. The worse the quality, the less they reveal us, the more they can hide and the easier they are to manipulate in photoshop. It just greatly reduces credibility.

I don't know. But what I do know is that my galaxy S4 cellphone makes better ones. And I'm NOT exaggerating here.

Arashi,
I will call this guy,mr Joshi,on sunday..to shoot better pics for you.And will also ask him,if he can supply few pics of his ,when he was younger...

He has been wearing a wig since last few years.

Regards Thane,i can give his mail id or even his phone number to one of you,

I called him a few times,he said he is 60 plus now,he is more interested for his son ,who is 24 ,who is already undergoing Hm injection treatment with me.
Due to is busy travelling schedule,he will not be able to devote so much time for a year.

Once i give you more clearer pics of Mr Joshi,i think this issue about his NW status would be clear.

Anyway,one forum member from uk is arriving on 15th october,followed by veca...one of them can have a look at Mr joshi in person too.

You are most welcome ,to ask any forum member from mumbai,to see Mr joshi in person and confirm his nw status.

Regards didi's querry ,why did we extract his beard hair for stemcells and dp culture is because...beard hair paradoxically flourish in the presence of DHT,which is abundant on a MPB scalp.

If a patient refuses to give beard hair for the same,only than we prefer to extract donor scalp grafts.

Once you have more clearer pics of Mr Joshi....i am sure you will agree his donor is worse than Thane.
And yes, in will ask him..if he can provide few more pics of his,when he was younger...
Also ask dr mwamba...what is his opinion after seeing the donor and recipient of TOM ,after 1month...of last session.
And also the state of donor after 3months of first session on tom.

Tom is in belgium with dr mwamba,for independent assesment, since last 2 days.

Man, I don't know. These pictures are extremely blurry. What happened to his pro photograph ? This picture is just horrible: http://www.drnigams.net/images/js/large/6.JPG I can shoot a better one with my phone !

It's tough to see where his hairline ends. Yes, the picture surely gives the impression he's a NW7, but man, I don't know. We really need better pictures than this.

Also, to make the case more credible, please ask this patient to show us a few photo's he shot in the past. Preferably with longer hair and it would be really great if he could supply a few photo's from when he was a few years younger too. That would help a LOT with credibility.

[Arashi]

And for the people who are still wondering why I'm pissed here: take a look at the dermarolling results thread. People got all excited when that guy posted this photo: http://s1258.photobucket.com/user/al...1ec98.png.html
It kind of seems he's just totally bald on top in the first photo. But it was just a bad picture and he upped another one later showing he wasn't bald at all.

Bad photo's just reduce credibility big time. If Dr Nigams wants to make a case, he's not going to convince people when he shoots photo's with his 5 year old 1 Megapixel cellphone cam. And he knows that. So why does he do it ?

[hellouser]

I'd like to hear from Dr. Nigam himself and tell us what camera and lens he's using for the photographs.

Aren't there tools to deduce that ? Doesn't the cam info save to the header ?

Probably a disposable one from the local corner shop.

[Arashi]

Camera: Sony HDR-CX190E

LOL. That's not even a photo camera, but a $169 video camera.

http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/sony-handycam-hdr-cx190/4505-6500_7-35128679.html

Turns out I was pretty accurate when I said it was a 1 megapixel photo:

(from that review) " Many camera phones are better. (Unsurprising given that Sony's "5.3-megapixel" photos are actually 1.3-megapixel photos bloated up for specsmanship.) "

[hellouser]

Aren't there tools to deduce that ? Doesn't the cam info save to the header ?

Shhh... I want to verify truth.

[Arashi]

I just don't get it. What is Dr Nigams thinking ? That this is really the best way to convince the world of his technique ? He's smart enough to cure hairloss but just doesn't understand what it takes to convince people ?
