I did 3 times in india, and I spoke to a lot of his team member, they was afraid to tell me that they have to face EVERY DAY complain from patient and nigam just doesnt care.. They felt so bad for a long time since they have to perform something they already know it doesnt work.. then nigam fired a lot of them.Comment

What surprises me is how dr mwamba never criticises nigam, he still hopes against hope that it might work. We are talkin abt naive patients but mwamba isnt any better.
Its been 14 months since nigam come on the forums and how many baldies he cured?

I'm so glad that we regulate the medical profession here in Europe...Comment

Breaking legs is a little harsh. People have some responsibility to use due diligence in deciding on a treatment. Loads of frauds exist and the hair loss industry has had and will have its fair share. If it sounds to good to be true it is unlikely to be true.
How a doctor in the boondocks of India could find the solution in such a rapid time is amazing. Researchers do not just read papers and find a solution. The Indian medical research industry looks to be poorly regulated and exploited by people for their own gain. I wonder if Nigams trials are registered. http://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/login.php
Dr Mwamba made a post on another hair restoration form.Comment

I do not know if this is in reference to Tom. I wish I could provide a link as I hate quoting information with out providing a source. This was posted 02/03/2014.
We had two patients :
The first patient had first surgery with Dr Nigam ( HAir Doubling ) and a regular FUE with technology for hair regeneration in donor area .He came onne month after the surgery .There was no white dot .The patient was supposed to come every month for a follow up but didn't show up for the 2 months and 3 months Fup ( busy with work ).We know that growth after a hair transplant starts to show up from 4 to 6 months ;we are really hoping he will come for the next assessment .
The second patient was a Norwood 7 .Dr Nigam performed a small test of Hair doubling ( 30 grafts ) and in December ( 90 days after first surgery ) , he injected stem cells for hair multiplication .He is black and lives in Brussels .So we are checking him every month .What we can tell right now is no signs of surgery in the donor area .It is really a scarless FUE ( compared to what we observed in lots of patients where you can detect the small empty spots of scarring eventhough it is not visible with the naked eye .
There is several protocols we have to test now :
1 Scarless FUE with donor hair regeneration .
You do perform a regular FUE .And you apply the technology of tissue engineering in donor area .We are now selecting candidate for that study in our Brussels clinic .
2 Hair Doubling
The protocol for hair doubling requires extra investments to get a lab in Brussels .We can not offer it so far in our Brussels clinic until we get everything set up .We are thinking of offering that in India to patients who would like me to perform the surgery .We will perform a regular FUE and in one area , we will test the hair doubling technique , possible because Dr Nigam will put his lab in our disposition to get what we need .For this scenario, I have to gather a certain number of patients before to make a trip to India .
Dr Nigam is conducting the study for hair doubling in Mumbai and I will be an independant investigator to assess results .We do not have the same surgery protocol ( they do perform classic FUE and not the FIT technique ) .
3 Hair Multiplication will be available only in India because of regulations about hair cells manipulation and culture .
I will have to travel to India with the patient to perform it .
We need to organize those trips with interested patients knowing is just a trial and results or outcome are not guarantee.And the selected patients have to fit in certain criteria for the sake of standardization of the study .It will not be so easy to organize all of this .
At least we want to start with the scarless FUE and the Denovo hair regeneration in donor area .Comment
