    specs are soo overrated

    its about person taking photos and what he wants us to see or not see, Gc was able to do it with cheap digi cam, bet you can take amazing photos with your smarphone, right? canon 1000d is more than enough to take excellent photos.


    anyway,any news on Thane, is he takin up an offer?

      The post I made contains more settings in the camera than the specs of the camera. In fact, I didnt mention which camera should be used but only the lens as its specific to our intent (one that can focus CLOSE to the scalp). Settings the camera uses are universal. If GK achieved proper photographs, its possible the camera's settings we're similar to the list I made.

      EDIT TO PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDELINE!!!!!:
      God damn it, I wish I was able to edit posts! I made a small mistake in my post. Initially I thought a general lens like a 24-105mm F/4L would do fine, but I thought more about the minimum focus distance and suggested the 28mm and 60mm lenses. Both of those are prime lenses, so my suggestion of 35-70mm is redundant, therefor the focal length should be 28mm or 60mm!

        ...those pictures were fine, jesus christ. you'll be able to tell even with a terrible camera if these cases are working. can't fake slick bald nw7 to nw1 even with an old track phone camera. i get that you guys want good documentation as we all do but holy crap those pictures aren't even bad.

                Stop spreading false rumors, that isn't true at all.

                DONOR DOUBLING can be done anywhere.

                  Spencer and Mwamba said the exact opposite.

                    well this is what i got from a reliable source


                    1. He can regenerate donor hair 3 different ways...

                    -1A. In Vivo Doubling: Somewhat similar to what Gho claims. The hair is "split" in the scalp, and the bisected follicle is implanted in the recipient area. If it works, hair grows in recipient area and grows back in donor area.

                    -1B. In Vitro Doubling: Similar to above, but in this case the entire follicle is extracted, then bisected in vitro. One part is put back in the donor area, the other part is placed back in the recipient. This method yields close to 100% regeneration, according to Dr. Nigam.

                    -1C. De Novo Doubling: Similar to above, but both halves are placed in the recipient area, and the donor hair is regenerated using ECM/Patient's previously cultured Stem Cells/(maybe PRP?)/Etc.


                    2. He also claims he can multiply hair non-surgically (like Aderans and Intercytex et al were/are trying to do) using the patient's own cultured adult stem cells.




                    It's important to note that 1C and 2 cannot be done legally in the United States or Europe at this point, as stem cell treatments must be cleared by the respective FDAs in those places.

                    It's also important to note that this has not yet been reproduced by Dr. Mwamba, but he has stated that he is very excited and optimistic, and as such he is trying and will confirm or deny in a few months, likely before 2014.

                    (I've been following this guy pessimistically, but now I'm also excited and optimistic.)

                    Among other things that transpired during the visit: Dr. Mwamba performed a typical FUE on one of Dr. Nigam's patients, and Dr. Nigam used his stem cell treatment from 1C in an attempt to regenerate the donor hair. In addition, Dr. Nigam performed 1B on one of Dr. Mwamba's staff/patients. Both patients live in Europe, and will follow up with Dr. Mwamba.

                    Dr. Nigam also revealed his procedures fully to Dr. Mwamba (in this way he is already much more transparent than Dr. Gho), and Dr. Mwamba is now trying to reproduce and further experiment on 1A and 1B in Europe.

                    You may be wondering: "don't all of the above constitute the first cure for hair loss?" I would have to say: yes.

                    However, Dr. Nigam himself has said that some patients don't respond to 2, and Dr. Mwamba has yet to confirm 1A or 1B.

                    It would be a giant let down if Mwamba is not able to reproduce this, but based on what he's seen I repeat: he's very optimistic and is not hedging at all at this point, except to say that there is no proof until he can reproduce it in his clinic.

                      I will pass on these details to the photographer,thanks for ur inputs.

                      In the mean time,there is an potential exciting news for you all..

                      But, i did not want to say it myself..
                      you should ask TOM and dr mwamba...

                      dr mwamba took pics of TOM and did hair count of the donor...

                      This is what tom told me on skype..(i would like to confirmation of the same from dr mwamba)

                      0 white dots, near complete donor regen..
                      from where follicles were taken(that's what tom said,i am yet to see the pics)..
                      tom said donor looks same as in before pics.
                      tom;s donor around his scar was shaved again ..by dr mwamba..
                      and hair count was done with before and after pics..

                      which showed complete donor regen..
                      (again that's what tom said..i am yet to see the pics..).

                      the pics are with dr mwamba...

                      he is in china for a stemcell conference..would be back in 2 days...

                      Ask them to provide you with photos and their independent assessment.
                      whoa... this is kinda of HUGE, Im waiting for Tom and specially Dr. Mwamba to come forward and corroborate this claim.

                        It sounds very interesting. I'm just still skeptical too. How could donor even 'look the same', when you extracted and implanted grafts back into donor ? I mean the least I'd expect would for the grafts to have changed position, even if density was the same. Which would make the analysis a lot more complicated.

                        And it was the same donor region that you used in the first surgery, so how does he even know it are not grafts from that other surgery that he's seeing now ? I just think Tom wasn't a very good case in terms of proof. Best way to prove the effectiveness of the procedure would to take 100 grafts from donor, split them and put everything back into recipient. Hopefully dr Mwamba has conducted something like that too. I'm sure he thought of it anyway.

                          Dr Mwamba counted my 4 donor area both with macro and micro pics with before / after. And.. density seems exact same.. Crazy as i got an hair transplant of 1600.. This is good news yes, but we will test now on about 10 peoples 4 area, with semi permanent tatoo, around 50 single graft very well localised. Then we will count the exact % of regrowth in terms of graft AND hair.

                          I did a de novo for information.
