Sounds a bit to good to be true from the write up?

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of scalp stimulation and in
particular to the field of hair growth stimulants.

There are many products on the market that claim to grow hair. Most do not.
Products on the market that can actually grow hair are expensive and
available only by prescription. Furthermore, cessation of use usually
results in immediate hair loss. In other words, once a user starts using
this prescription product, he or she must continue for life in order to
maintain hair.

In the past it was believed that, once the hair root would not produce a
follicle, the root was dead and could not be restored. But little research
has been done for periods of seven and up to eleven years after the hair
root has failed to produced a shaft. Results produced with this invention
have proved that there is a window of time in which one can, in fact,
regenerate or revive the hair root.

Development of a simple, inexpensive treatment which can grow hair
represents a great improvement in the field of scalp stimulation and
satisfies a long felt need of bald persons, balding persons, persons with
thin or sparse hair, and their doctors and cosmeticians.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is a unique lotion or cream formula that can
regenerate some follicles which are still alive but in a state of non
productivity (the resting phase). There is no product now on the market
which will enhance the growth of eyebrows and beards. Yet, this product
can stimulate the growth of some eyebrow tips, as long as the roots are in
this resting stage, can enlarge mustaches or enhance the fullness of the
mustache, and can enhance beards that have been growing sparely.

People are balding for many reasons but the majority have nutritional
deficiencies. This formula has regenerated hair growth even for people
that have been bald for over ten years but not longer than fourteen years.
It has strengthened hair for people as elderly as 94. What makes this
product unique are the natural ingredients that produce it. It is made
from the oil of a lemon and minerals. The acidity of the lemon along with
choline, inositol and niacinamide or nicotinic acid stimulate the follicle
while it is in the inactive stage. This product is revolutionary in that
it is totally a natural product, except for the preservative and
fragrance.

The main active ingredients of this invention are castor oil and a special
lemon extract. The extract is made by blending fresh lemon peel with
purified water and filtering the product through a sanitized cloth. The
ratio is approximately 10-600 cc castor oil and approximately 5-340 cc
special lemon extract. Other ingredients that can be beneficially added to
the formulation are: inositol, choline from bitartrate, niacinamide or
nicotinic acid, manganese in chelated form, bioflavonoids, and folic acid.
Some perfume and a preservative may also be added.

An appreciation of the other aims and objectives of the present invention
and an understanding of it may be achieved by referring to the following
description of a preferred embodiment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

This product has regenerated a larger percent than any among the topical
products. The highest success rate is with people with receding hairlines.
This invention has regenerated hair that has been absent for over eleven
years on people of all ages from age 16 to 94. Minimal use of the product,
even as little as once a week has regenerated hair. Some hair follicles
can be revived and stimulated by concentrated amounts of certain vitamins
and, minerals not present in the tissue at the base of the follicle.
Vitamins and minerals revive the hair bulb and nourish it with the proper
amounts needed to stimulate the root into action.

Heredity, stress and poor diet prevent normal cycles of hair growth. Not
all hair bulbs can be stimulated into performance, but there are many
people who can be helped by application of the following formula:


10-500 cc Castor Oil
5-340 cc Special Lemon Extract
50-1900 cc Inositol
50-1900 cc Choline bitartrate
250-2500 cc Niacinamide1 or nicotinic acid
40-300 IU Manganese in chelated form
4-1900 IU Bioflavonoids2
40-500 IU Folic Acid3
5 Drops Perfume Oil
Sodium benzoate (as a
preservative)
1 Containing Niacinamide, Dicalcium Phosphate, Cellulose, Stearic
Acid, Magnesium Stearate and Silica.
2 Containing: Flavanones 350 mg, Hesperidins 154 mg, Naringen &
Naringenin 14 mg, Eriocitrin 112 mg, Flavonols 308 mg, Flavones 42, Rutin
100 mg.
3 Containing Dibasic Calcium Phosphate, Crosscarmellose Sodium,
Magnesium Stearate, Folic Acid.



The powdered ingredients are sifted twice to minimize granules present.
Then fresh lemon peel of one lemon, of the Rutaceae family, is scrubbed
with a brush and cut up into 1/4 inch pieces, including the bioflavonoids
membrane, then put in a blender with three to four ounces of purified
water until it is liquidified. Then the mixture is filtered through a
press. The press consists of a sanitized cloth, to filter out the precious
liquid. This lemon fluid is somewhat thick in substance and is measured.
This essence is the main active ingredient of the formula. This fluid is
both lemon oil and bioflavonoid from the membrane around the peel. The
bioflavonoids boost the acidity in the lemon rind, acting as an activator
for the lethargic follicle. The acidity in combination with the choline,
inositol and niacinamide or nicotinic acid stimulates the follicle into
production. The choline is important for development of the cell membrane.
Inositol is essential for the growth of human cells but only myo-inositol
is of importance here.

Castor oil, a prepared oil from the plant ricinus communis of the
Euphorbiaceae family contains many glycerides of which linoleic acid is
one. A deficiency of linoleic acid has caused severe hair loss in canines,
according to experiments. The same seems to be true Oman. The niacinamide
or nicotinic acid opens up the blood vessels to accept nourishment into
the hair root and the follicle is stimulated out of its resting state.
Folic acid, in conjunction with this formula, causes adequate oxygenation
of the blood supplying the scalp or other treated area. Inositol, works to
metabolize amino and fatty acids in the skin. The blood vessels in turn
nourish the root and stimulating rapid growth. The average growth of one
hair is 1/4 of an inch a month. After being treated with this formula,
hair has grown 1/8 of an inch in two weeks on some clients.

The two basic main ingredients that will grow hair are castor oil and lemon
extract. It has been found that the formulation will work with castor oil
and lemon extract in any of the following ratios:


Castor oil 10 cc 10 cc 240 cc 480 cc 600 cc 100 cc
Lemon extract 5 cc 25 cc 180 cc 255 cc 340 cc 75 cc



The formulation will grow hair if the ratio of castor oil to lemon extract
is anywhere from 0.4 to 1 to 2 to 1.

This product can help those individuals with baldness arising from these
three conditions. It has also helped those prone to baldness at an early
age.

EXAMPLES

One client had three completely bald sections on her head for eleven years.
She used the hair growth formula described above only three times a week.
After seven months the right and left sides of her head had completely
filled and the top was slowly filling also.

Another client using the formulation had 50 new hairs grow in a 2 square
inch radius. This client had been bald for over ten years.

Yet another client using the formulation, who has thinning hair, has grown
38 new hairs in a 2-inch square section.

The hair growth formula has been described with reference to a particular
embodiment. Other modifications and enhancements can be made without
departing from the spirit and scope of the claims that follow.

Well, there's plenty of people trying Ultra Downy now so I'll sit back and see what happens with that one!

I've heard about castor oil a few times for hair loss over the years. Interesting patent don't you think?

Castor oil is one of the ingredients used with Follicare topical spray( not to be confused with Folligen topical spray).
