I don't think hair loss sufferers are giving the same or even close attention as other sicknesses because they think it's just a cosmetic issue and it mainly affects men.....but I bet that if it was women suffering more at the same rate or worse than men, hairloss would be a much bigger issue..they would be marches, wristbands, etc. much more PR. Solving hair loss can't be that difficult compared to all the medical accomplishments of this millennia. But with major companies holding the cards and the patents and the current treatments that make billions yearly, I don't see a cure coming within the u.s. IF and when a cure does come, it would be from Japan or some Asian country where there's a high cost of failure. There is wayyyyyy to much corporate and political influence in the drug market of the U.S to not release a cure all when treat alls are more beneficial to they portfolio . #justmyopinion.

the best and the brightest and the most gifted medical minds are not working on hair loss so the progress has been very very slow. you're right in that if the society took hair loss serious enough then the govt would step in and supply the necessary funds to draw top talent from all over the country to come up with a solution. there's great deal of money to be made if a cure is found for sure. but if you have a brilliant mind in medical research, then there are countless better and more exciting self-serving opportunities out there and with ample amount of funding to boot.

There are plenty of more serious issues than hair loss for which the government is not "stepping in and supplying the necessary funds to draw top talent from all over the country to come up with a solution."

i'm not sure what you're trying to say over what i've already alluded to. yes, there are more pressing matters. hence why the lack of funding.

That the lack of government funding for hair loss solutions isn't due to "society not taking hair loss seriously enough." Solutions to plenty of other things that society does take very seriously still don't get funded by the government.

i'm slow and stupid, still don't get what you're trying to say. if half the US population suffering from hair loss went ape shit over hair loss and experienced severe depression then i'd assume govt would intervene.

so there are other conditions with identical variable not being the cause, so it must be true of all conditions with said variable.

you know what, you're probably right. i'm just confused as always.

Tomorrow guys..........

Have i said i love this thread yet?

...& it's going to run and run, even after tomorrow ( if the report comes through tomorrow!?) posts on Replicel will keep going for a while longer.

It's a win win either way, if they say 'upps sorry guys, this way doesn't quite work' then someone else (if not Replicel) will search down another avenue.

Like someone mentioned, the flight thing, yeah we've been trying to fly for hundreds of years then got to go to the moon!! but the same goes for hairloss cures, it could be sooooo close right now, just round the corner, stay positive chaps and those that aren't then get positive best you can.

Good luck.

But half the U.S. population suffering from hair loss doesn't "go ape shit and experience severe depression," so your point is irrelevant.

[PvH]

hence why i said "IF" people took it seriously enough. as in if they were devastated by it. but clearly most people aren't. thus govt is unlikely to intervene.

am i not making this clear enough for you? not sure what more i do to explain.

Thats because major portion of funding goes to weapons research.
The future is building drones capable of shooting down as many human targets as possible.
