What do you think?
Is that a distinct possibility? Is it realistic?

Interesting stuff:
Finasteride was developed under the code name MK-906.[citation needed] In 1992, finasteride (5 mg) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of BPH, which Merck marketed under the brand name Proscar.[citation needed] In 1997, Merck was successful in obtaining FDA approval for a second indication of finasteride (1 mg) for treatment of MPB, which was marketed under the brand name Propecia.
It's been a long time.Minoxidil was developed in the late 1950s by the Upjohn Company (later became part of Pfizer) to treat ulcers. In trials using dogs, the compound did not cure ulcers, but proved to be a powerful vasodilator. Upjohn synthesized over 200 variations of the compound, including the one it developed in 1963 and named minoxidil.[20] These studies resulted in FDA approving minoxidil (with the trade name 'Loniten') in the form of oral tablets to treat high blood pressure in 1979.[21]
Meantime the effect of minoxidil on hair loss prevention was so clear that in the 80's physicians were prescribing Loniten off-label to their balding patients.[21] In August 18, 1988 the FDA finally approved the drug for treating baldness in men[21][25] under the trade name 'Rogaine' (FDA rejected Upjohn's first choice, Regain, as misleading[26]). The agency concluded that although "the product will not work for everyone", 39 percent of the men studied had "moderate to dense hair growth on the crown of the head".[26] In 1991 Upjohn made the product available for women.[25]

It's been too long. You are so right about that.
It's idiotic. Always used to think Histogen would be the answer. Not any more.
Hair transplant surgeons make so much money.
I really doubt a cure will be in the United States.Comment

Not really, "in our lifetime" can be relative. Someone who's 30, maybe has 40-50 years left to live. By the time they're like 70-80 if they get there, they will likely not care about their hair loss. So really a 30 year old person has about 30 years left where they're still going to care a lot about their hair. Can something happen in the next 30 years? Absolutely, I believe something better will come in the next 10 years. But is there a possibility that the best treatments and near-cures run into a lot of roadblocks and even get pushed back or canceled due to some bad side effects? Also yup.
A better treatment/cure not coming out in a 30 year olds lifetime is not something that someone dumb would think of. It's actually very realistic.Comment

Well i guess you are one of the retarded people if you think that it is realistic. THATS ABSOLUTELY PESSIMISTIC NOT REALISTICComment

The answer is always the same:
There's been a breakthrough! doctors and researchers are working on it right now! Of course, its still in the early stages, but don't worry-- the new, miracle treatment will be available to the public in..... wait for it......
5 to 7 years.
There you go. The answer you've been looking for. It's always the same.Comment

What argument exatcly? He just stated what he thinks. I guess you are as retarded as him too.Comment

If I had the option to get ALL of my hair back, I certainly would, if it were painless, safe, and reasonably priced.
That being said, I don't believe there will ever be a "cure" for baldness, for the following reasons:
1. It is not a disease, and indeed not life-threatening. There will be NO government funding for baldness cures. They are more interested in funding cures and prevention for pandemics.
2. There is a huge list of maladies that are far negatively impacting on the economy, primarily the common cold and flu. These two illnesses cost the world economy billions in lost productivity, each year.
3. The "hair loss" industry is making BILLIONS off drugs, rugs and plugs, it is a positive impact on the economy.
4. Balding is evolutionary, as we move forward, we have less need for hair, have you noticed more and more men going bald in their teens and twenties?Comment

I wish that you had some sort of education atleast, i'm just discussing with villager at this point. Your arguments are ****ing joke, You just saying. " I think cure won't come in 30 years" without any ARGUMENTS or EVIDENCE. Your opinion is worthless, we have tsuji, SHT, and some other company which name i cant recall right now working for hair cloning. Also, we are getting to know more and more information about hairloss everyday, So it's inevitable that cure WILL come one day.
PLease dont reply to me any more, because you are retarded. Just go eat some finasteride pills because your brain is already small enough and you don't have anything to loseComment

I am actually quite well educated. And your lack of spelling and grammatical abilities indeed show your lack of education. Everything I wrote is completely factual, and researchable. And the quote is not mine, by the way.
If you don't wish to see my responses, you may block me.Comment

1. So what? why does research have to be funded by government? Doesn't make sense. There are plenty of examples of successful drugs which were privately funded.
2. This one is basically same as first.
3. They are not making billions. You can use minoxidill only for limited amount if time, and most of the people don't take finasteride because of the side effects. There is plenty of space for another successful drug.
4. There is theory like this, but why do girls find balding men less attractive then? The main point of evolution is to survive and leave some siblings behind you.. But if you are bald you have less chance of finding a partner. And even if they do, the girl is probably 5-7 instead of 8-10.. Also, balding man are more prone to cancer - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/healt...study-reveals/ ...
So all of your aguments are ****ing stupid like most of the guys in this thead who just say things because they are balding and feel sad.Comment
