Dr Nigam - his lies and deceit.

[Arashi]

This topic serves as an overview of lies that dr Nigam has told and the scams he committed. I made it because newbies who are considering to visit him deserve to know the truth. If they still want to go after reading all this, then I'm perfectly cool with that. Everybody needs to form their own opinions. But if you come back with a failed surgery, a ruined donor, or even something worse, then you can't say you weren't warned.

I want to make it very clear that even though this topic contains proof that his doubling test FAILED, that doesn't mean it won't work in the hands of a professional like dr Mwamba. He's one of the best doctors in the world, the theory behind donor regeneration is known for more than 10 years, it was tested successfully on mice, however no doctor ever has shown pictures that prove they got it working beyond reasonable doubt. That however of course does not mean that dr Mwamba can't do it neither. This topic is not about him. This topic is about dr Nigam and his lies.

This topic is not complete. Feel free to add any content you want.

And for the people who don't like to read “another” topic on Nigam: stop reading and ignore this thread.

To all others: enjoy.

On switching patients in before after photo's.

Dr Nigam switches patients in before-after photo's several times. Most of the times he cuts out details that are too obvious and would reveal the difference immediately. I think this is the best example:

copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/2d3ba36...e6a2719a24.jpg

You will see that the guy to the left has a huge bump on his forehead, the guy to the right doesn't. What Nigam usually does is cut out the difference like he did here when he presented the photo:

sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/GL/B&A/Large/1.jpg

He uses this trick often. Even in his latest case of the 2 people with different hair structure (flat vs curly) →

http://www.drnigams.net/images/DK/1/Large/1.jpg

http://www.drnigams.net/images/DK/1/Large/6.jpg

By the hair structure alone it's obvious this is a different guy. But when watching photo's like this you should wonder … why does he show for the guy on the left the full face, but cuts off everything below the eyes on the right … By the way, analysis of several photo's he showed for this case revealed that there were only 2 months between the photo's, instead of the 7 he claimed.

[Arashi]

On photoshopped pictures:

When Nigam came to these sites, he posted at least 3 photoshopped pictures on his website. This is one of them:

sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/too_big_01.jpg
copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/44a359d...5e0e9792e4.jpg

There were more found on his website, at least 3 of them were published back then. I made a small collection of some of the most obvious ones:

http://cdn.imghack.se/images/4b394d573cbfbc0f6b8c168985788df5.jpg

http://cdn.imghack.se/images/25867214531dad409612e74a37f6a479.jpg

Notice how every before-after picture is exactly the same, he just photoshopped in some hair (and changed some colors here and there for example of clothing). When he first got confronted with this, he defended the pictures to be true. When people mentioned that these were the same photo in the before-after comparison, which could for example easily be seen by the eyebrows, he couldn't deny it anymore. He then blamed his webdeveloper who supposedly did this without his consent. Of course this is a blatant lie, no webdeveloper would go photoshopping before-after pictures and put in text about stem cells and what more. A webdeveloper creates websites based on the content a client supplies.

[Arashi]

On his doubling technique.

He claimed several times he solved hairloss cause he supposedly could double each graft (which pretty much is a functional cure for most people). However on a browsable directory on his website, photo's were found that he never published. These photo's show that the actual test he ran failed.

In the photo's below, ignore the circles, they don't match (as always in his documentation, he just draws some random circles around any hair he sees). You'll see that after 290 days, only 3 hairs grew (while he lost at least that in donor).

Day 1, showing the slits, just before graft insertion: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/e460113...ba8123c4d8.jpg
(this slit picture is best used for comparison to day 290)

Day 1, right after everything was done:

Day 290: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/0ccbc92...d2740f376b.jpg

Also admire the stellar picture quality in the slits photo. If you zoom in (click on the picture) you can see the most tiny hairs in perfect detail. If only he showed quality pictures like that to us, eh. Instead he chose a picture which is WAY more difficult to interpret.

On deception with certificates

This photo was found on his website:

sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/logo%20isams.jpg
copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/60facbb...c147b052fe.jpg

It says “ISAMS – Indian society of Aesthetic medicine & surgery”. That sounds interesting. When you google that, you won't find much about this society apart from a telephone number:

http://www.justdial.com/Mumbai/Indian-Society-Of-Aesthetic-Medicine-%26-Surgery-%3Cnear%3E-Andheri-West/022PXX22-XX22-130108141904-Z8H5_BZDET

If you then google that telephone number you'll find :

http://mumbai.citizensindia.com/doctor-cosmetic-surgeon/dr-nigams-goodhealth-pvt-ltd/id_1934

This 'society' is just Nigam himself.

He likes to do this little trick more often. For example watch this 'certificate':

sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/international_tip.jpg
copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/50df5f3...651468ab91.jpg

It says “International academy of Aesthetic medicine & surgery” and “European academy of aesthetic medicine & surgery”. Google them and you'll end up at Nigam. Of course this one isn't theoretically that bad, these 'academies' are just his, but it becomes more worrysome when he uses it to advertise:

http://drnigams.net/images/advertisement.jpg

It are these kind of worthless pictures that he puts up in his office everywhere. He even gives himself prizes and awards. Check out this picture and watch the certificates on the wall:

http://cdn.imghack.se/images/19cb61f6a5868b21bba4dc48cee780f5.jpg

“International Stemcell Research award”. First notice the same font as in that other certificate. Then google that to find more info on that 'international' award. Good luck with that !

On fraud with graft comparison photo's.

Nigam likes to compare grafts in photo's. He isn't really accurate there however He just puts some circles around some grafts that possibly couldn't even relate to the other picture he shows (as for example in that 15 graft test photo that was shown earlier here). One really interesting example was this one though:

http://cdn.imghack.se/images/c59f88b7be1d8628b2851166e0938976.jpg

He really made a study out of it. Except … the numbering doesn't even match. It later turned out it wasn't even the same part of the scalp. When confronted, Nigam blamed his IT people.

[Arashi]

More photo fun.

Nigam doesn't really seem to understand that human hair usually grows less than 1 cm/month. Cause this is what he can make hair grow in just 4 months:

[Arashi]

Nigam's own hair.

Nigam likes to show how he cured himself.

http://cdn.imghack.se/images/121cdd320bee9abfaf3bf50c19fc9abf.jpg

In that last picture you can see his before pictures, dated january 2012, while he has an amazing result only 5 months later. Looks too good to be true ? Well it is.

Nigam in 2011:

There are more vids, search for them. Didi posted a few but they got deleted on that Nigam sponsored forum.

Nigam and photo quality.

Dr Nigam got criticized a lot on his photo's. Every time they are of extremely lousy quality. People got frustrated, some thought he might actually be onto something but just didn't know how to demonstrate it and were even talking about crowdfunding a professional photographer to shoot the pictures.

After it was found that his images directory was browsable (here's a image of the whole directory:
http://rapidshare.com/share/3F21103D...2092C2A709A99D )
it turned out there were pictures of stellar quality there, shot by a professional photographer . For an example, just look at the pre-op photo of the 15 graft test earlier in this thread. Nigam KNOWS how to shoot extremely good pictures, he just never shows them to you.

Dr nigam and professor Lauster

Dr Nigam claimed that Gerd Lauster and he were going to work together. When forum members called his lab, the people there didn't even know who Nigam was. Nigam later denied that he ever said this. Unfortunately some posts got deleted on that Nigam sponsored forum but if you search this bald thruth forum you'll find this post: http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showpos...93&postcount=1

where he says “After this visit, chairman of Tissuse and Gerd visited Mumbai in January 2013 for the potential try for clinical trials in Mumbai. We reached very close to the tie up with terms and conditions but I wanted some more time before investing “

Also this picture was posted on his website:
sitelink: http://drnigams.net/images/111.jpg
copy: http://cdn.imghack.se/images/b67d3b7...0f42e0827b.jpg

Nigam recently mailed me:

“I have never said that I am working with Lauster “

[Arashi]

Stealing photo's from other doctors.

Nigam placed pictures on his website that he stole from other doctors. Unfortunately that old website isn't up anymore, but this is the post where it was all about:

http://www.consumercourtforum.in/india/dr-nigams-good-health-pvt-ltd/

When confronted with the complaints against his weightloss clinic, he said that this wasn't his clinic. On youtube video's though he claims several times, even on Indian television that it was HIS clinic. Furthermore he claimed that all the complaints regarding his hairloss business were written by angry competitors …

[Arashi]

And last, this is where it all happens: http://nl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=a...5#.Unw5kPn_mD8

[Arashi]

And people always keep in mind, whenever a doctor makes claims about any kind of hairloss solution: this doctor can only know that it works if he has documented his own proof. And if he had that proof, the first thing ANY doctor would do is show that to the world. Therefore any claim of any kind of cure without proof by definition pretty much always is a lie.

Have an open mind regarding any new solution but don't emtpy your pockets without having seen proof that proves beyond reasonable doubt that it works.

He uses this trick often. Even in his latest case of the 2 people with different hair structure (flat vs curly) →

By the hair structure alone it's obvious this is a different guy.

Thanks for pointing out these things Arashi. I agree with you that a lot of things look suspicious, but if zoom in on the pics here above you will see that the 3 wrinkles above the eyes look almost exactly the same on the two persons.
