Dr Nigam agrees to doubling slick NW6/NW7

Any updates on Thane, cant wait to see this case

Havent heard dr Nigams talking much about him lately.

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

Dr we starve for pics...

If Dr Nigams findings are confirmed by the IAHRS (Dr Mwamba) then I will 100% be travelling to India to have a first procedure

The whole world would travel to India, man.

If Dr Nigams findings are confirmed by the IAHRS (Dr Mwamba) then I will 100% be travelling to India to have a first procedure, I think if Nigam becomes an IAHRS member we can say that the next evolution in hair transplantation has arrived in the form of doubling the supply of donor hairs.

Im not 100% on Nigam dont get me wrong - but he's all we have at the moment.

I would love to know what Nigam means when he made this statement on HS:



What legislations are being introduced? Can you name them?

So any minute Nigam could pull the plug on everything?

Things like this just make me question so much.

I don't think that refers to doubling. But Nigam says he is developing all these techniques. Why would he be doing that if the Indian govt are gonna introduce legislation to stop him?

[TO YOUNG TO RETIRE]

Dr Nigam any new pics would be really good for us.

it doesn't affect doubling, only HM

Dr Nigam:

Remember friends..i have freedom from regulations only for few months or may be one year(as indian parliament may pass the act on stemcell research anytime)..i have to work hard to get to the bottom of this research...but i am confident..i am reaching closer...

Urgh, please don't link to the Daily Heil website.

And also wanted to react to the fact that you think my suggestion was paranoid. A few weeks ago I read a study result, I think it was done in the UK, where they asked young men what their number one fear was. The answer was going bald. So, if you're a fraud, then THIS is the industry to be in ! Nothing sells better than fear. And that's exactly the reason why there are so many snake oil salesmen active in this industry. Again, dont't get me wrong, I'm not talking specifically about Nigams, for all I know he might be legit, but if someone in this industry claims he has THE solution, then he better damn well prove it, undeniably !

*EDIT* just found the study: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...oing-BALD.html

I didnt say Dr Mwamba has definitive evidence that Dr Nigams' procedure works, what you're suggesting however is starting to look ever less likely as the months go by, the theory that Dr Nigam is somehow swindling us all and falsifying these dozens of patients (even from hair loss forums) looks less likely today than it did 3 months ago.



That's a pretty paranoid suggestion IMO, Dr Mwamba was achieving 30 - 40% in regeneration when he was working alone, the reason he went to India was to find out how Dr Nigam was achieving 80%+ regeneration (see, Dr Mwamba, unlike us, already believed Nigam was regenerating hair before he visited India). Now he returns and jumps on the grapevine to Spencer and all to tell that Nigam is doing doubling by splitting follicles in vitro - do you really think he would risk his reputation as a IAHRS surgeon by having an interview with Spencer if he wasnt somewhat confident in his assertions?

I think Nigams somewhat convinced him. Nigams seems like a very good salesman to me anyway.

Maybe you're right. Maybe not. But at this point I think it's still very important to wait for actual proof, before going to India. That's all I'm saying

[UK_]

But that's just his speculation. He can't know if it works yet cause he'll need at least 6 months to see the results. And that's exactly what he said in the interview with Spencer: that he does not know if it works.

Money ! People who think like you will be tempted to visit his clinic and he's cashing good on that. Then, if after 6 months Mwamba goes to Nigams and tells him he sees nothing yet, Nigams will tell him to wait a year for the final result. Then after a year when Mwamba complains again, Nigams just says "yeah you did this and that wrong, you need to change it like this". Or, even more probable, Nigams changes techniques like every month or so. After a year he says "who cares about donor doubling, I now have technique X which works a lot better.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it IS like this. For all I know, Nigams might be completely legit. But at this point, all we can do is speculate. That's why his next week's patient, Thane, is so essential. This patient is going to be make-or-break for Nigams

Dr Mwamba has stated in emails, on forum posts and even an interview with SPENCER that Nigam is "on to something"

But that's just his speculation. He can't know if it works yet cause he'll need at least 6 months to see the results. And that's exactly what he said in the interview with Spencer: that he does not know if it works.

Use some common sense - why would someone who is trying to mislead people invite an IAHRS surgeon to his clinic to evaluate the work?

This. +100000.

Well, it would be, if he'd read my post properly and responded with a post which actually had anything to do with what I was on about.
