No cure and no better treatments in our lifetime?

3. The "hair loss" industry is making BILLIONS off drugs, rugs and plugs, it is a positive impact on the economy.

Indeed, billions on products that don't work. It's only a small percentage of balding men that even bother trying the treatments we have available because they're so unreliable. When a product that really works comes along, that company will get the entire market and the profits will dwarf what they currently are - which is why we already have a bunch of companies and universities trying to crack it right now.

Finally, someone who has some common sense

Ageism. I'm 62 and I still care.

[ShinjiKa]

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.

Amen Schiller- The horror never ends....

It's incredible that such a simple problem can't be solved. Is there a simpler biological function than the hair follicle cycle?

I don't know if I would say that...there is a lot that has been figured out about a hair follicles life and death cycle but still a lot to learn. Hair follicles seem to be like little genetically programmed clock timers. You get to a certain age and "BOOM!"- all of a sudden a bunch of them suddenly get DHT sensitive and start dying off like flies. You take the DHT blockers and the 5AR inhibitors but the little bastards are sensitive to like even tiny amounts of DHT and they keep on dying off- albeit slower..and so the battle begins, and its a battle that can't be won as today is the most hair you will ever have...

1. It is not a disease, and indeed not life-threatening.

Yes, not a disease per se. But it has been found that it is linked to heart disease, in the sense that bald people are more likely to develop heart disease than the general population. It is in some way a precursor of serious health problems. No form of senescence should be taken lightly, in regard to potential health issues.

I don't know if a causal link between the two (baldness and heart disease) exists, but this should motivate research to solve the problem at its root, that is genetically. Of course such an approach is not for tomorrow.

Unfortunately the ''elite'' want to keep us bald. It is a classic divide and conquer strategy to subjugate us peasants. A fully functional cure has already been developed by the CIA and military intelligence in the 1960s through Operation Norwood. We will never get access to it though, unfortunately.

If it was simple it would have been solved. The problem amounts to getting cells to replicate themselves properly over many generations. That is some hardcore science to master.

only dumb****s can think like this

OK genius. Tell me what year the cure will be.

[Annon36]

OK genius. Tell me what year the cure will be.

Transplanting pubes to scalp area

[PatientlyWaiting]

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 lose

You sound like a child. I can't imagine an adult behaving this way. You should go see a therapist.

hey dude what happened with that HT you had years ago? How's your hair situation now?

[PatientlyWaiting]

I always wanted two HT's from the start, I only have one. It's alright, but I also have alopecia areata, so that's not alright. Doesn't matter how well I fix my MPB, I still have the sh*tty areata to deal with. Got some annoying spots that will never actually get covered. Another FUE will be a waste.
