    I really agree with just about everyone on this forum when they called to task all of those posters who are just absolutely ridiculous with their constant negative postings. There are several people on here whose only purpose seems to be to either constantly be negative or just argue with everybody all the time. I'm glad plenty of people feel the way that I feel in that they were really pissed of by all the negativity that literally erupted on the message boards the other day. All that constant negativity really detracts from this reputable and informative website. And a massive thanks to Spencer for his follow-up interview with Replicel. Spencer: The vast majority of us here greatly appreciate your informative interviews with Replicel, Histogen, etc. So please keep on conducting them and don't pay any attention to the constant negative posters on here. They are really only a small minority.

    I think a lot of us feel the same way.

    Ditto. I don't understand some people, like VictimofDHT, they seem more interested in predicting a failure than finding a viable treatment. Good interview, I can't say I am happy with replicel's results, but to say that they are dead after the first 6 month checkpoint is ridiculous. I personally have a feeling these results will improve at the 1 year mark.

    I listen to the interview and I see both sides of the argument. We as hair loss sufferers are extremely disappointed and almost feel like we can't stand waiting anymore. I get that. I'm holding the flag. I feel as though David Hall was as disappointed as we all were but of course he has to put a positive spin on it. The problem is that there was all this hype both by the previous interviews with Replicel, the propaganda video on their website and the pump and dump game that was played on us by all those pennystock sites to steal our money. And for the record I did buy into the hype and have lost money. I did believe and therefore put money on the line. They dashed our hopes of a viable treatment in the near future (3-5yrs) and now it seems as though we are back to 10 to 20 years for a cure. I don't get it. I've seen on 60 minutes (TV) where scientists were able to grow living human organs. Including a human ear, skin and a kidney. Even a beating heart valve. How is that possible and they can't grow hair???? Have we as hair loss sufferers become the last group of people that can be abused, neglected and robbed of both dignity and funds by all the scoundrels of the world?

    I'm just saying....

    This has nothing to do with Replicel, but I would just like you all to know I remember a time when research into repairing nerves to aid prostate cancer victims who had suffered total loss of sensation (ED) was utterly dismal.

    Low & behold... technology improves:

    My point is that, like all other forms of technology, it will improve, we have come a long way from plugs to 3% hair growth using a patients own cells.

    who would have thought the same story would be out there in the world of recycled internet news! I'm glad these credible scientists were at least responsible enough to repeat words like 'if' 'may' 'could' 'hopes' etc. With 3D organ printing being so relevant hair loss treatments one does wonder why the Daily Mail, being the patron saint of baldness cures would somehow miss an opportunity to spin a science research story into a cure for baldness headline, even they didn't go for it, what is the world coming to!

    It is 12.5% vellus hair plus 3% terminal hair - hair that wasn't there before. That is a significant achievement. Those baby vellus hairs can transform into terminal hair and much of it probably will. The only way an intelligent person can look at this result and see it as a failure is if that person is completely closed minded and wants to see it as a failure. Unfortunately, there are members of this forum who are that closed minded and that negative - and that is a real shame. I could never go though life being that negative and that closed minded.
