end of baldness.they figured it out all.

It is funny how some people who have no relation to industrial or academic scientific research love to act as 'know it all'.
I have never come across any suspicious arrangement or agreement but i guess those who have no job and spend their entire time on internet in the world of conspiracy theories will never understand it.

That's because the arrangements being made are done by the executives and not by pawn scientists. Executives will do everything including lobbying to bring in as much money as possible, and give themselves big bonuses.

I would say this probably doesn't happen at the university level but they also work closely with drug companies. It is obvious that it they do what they're told, their funding goes dry, it's just common sense.

I had PRK (like LASIK, but safer) 3 years ago. No it doesn't "regress", whatever that means. Once you had the surgery after your myopia was stabilized, the results stay for life.

So yes, LASIK/PRK is a cure for myopia, in the sense I'll never have to wear glasses (at least until I'm in my 40's and need reading glasses like everyone) anymore.

It's funny, people theorize about how the hair loss industry doesn't want us to have a cure, yet a cure for myopia has been available for more than 20 years. Why didn't the glasses and contacts lobbies prevent it from happening? People, just like pharaceuticals want something that works. Because it will benefit everyone. For the moment, less than 10% of hair loss sufferers chose to use treatments.

Fred, I wish I could tell you were correct about Lasik or PRK being a cure but unfortunately the eye is an organ that keeps changing throughout your life. As you age, the lens inside the eye changes and it starts to thicken and age. This will cause the eye to become more hyperopic as you age. In many cases, I have seen people's eyes regress some( that means they become myopic again)but it never usually regresses back to your baseline. I have seen this happen in as little as a few years. Very few cases last over 5 to 6 years without some minor regression. Maybe because our bodies like to return to their normal state if things are altered. Kind of like having a facelift and then needing to have another one due to age. The only real permanent solution is after cataract surgery. Once they put implants in your eyes and remove the lens, your vision should remain stable for the rest of your life UNLESS you develop eye diseases or have trauma to the eye.

 

[DoctorHouse]

I just wanted to explain to Fred why he will need reading glasses in his 40's. And to point out that those procedures are not a "cure". A cure implies that something is permanently rectified.

Thanks DoctorHouse for straightening Fred out on the facts. Amazing how people don't do a bit of research yet know it all. KaranKaran also doesn't know the facts. He didn't take the time to learn them so they must be false according to him. Very sad.

People need to be more open minded and realize that there are exceptions to every rule. In life things happen and baffle even the experts. Real life experiences trump studies based on only a small little "snapshot" of the real world population.

Interesting, so it could be that the breakthrough was all a freaking lie. I don't understand what could they gain by lying, all their credability would go out the window.

It's probably just a pharmaceutical company running sh*t scared that REAL CURES are going to be available rather than side effect ridden poison pills for them to sell to us to keep just healthy enough to still be sick and buy their garbage FOREVER.

Lolll guys, it's funny people have started talking about all that ocular stuff in a hair loss forum.

I think it is important to understand here that any scientific study needs to be replicated for it to to progress further , especially the ones involving an experiment.

Also, the scientific community is not a monolithic group , meaning that if one scientist lies, it does not incriminate the entire community because when unfortunately such incidents do happen, they also get identified by the process of verification.

The acceptance of any scientific development, involving experiments or replying on experimental proofs, should come after going through a lengthy and exhaustive evaluation process. Just saying.

 

[thinin]

This is exactly why i said
"need to see the whole process work for me to even let myself get excited."
**** like this happens all the time. When we've seen this process from start to finish grow hair on human skin and enter trials then people should start getting excited.

Why do you think these kind of things happen in the first place? I know many researchers mean well but isn't some of the decisions out of their power no matter how ethical they are.

So where are these Phase I results from Replicel?? You know, from the testing they did like 5 years ago, just about...you know, the company that was supposed to have started Phase II last year??? ...

...nothing but a fancy web-page and a lot of hype to generate funds to keep the research going...nothing here to see for those of us looking for really hair regrowth assistance

I hear you man, these companies are all garbage. They take their sweet *** time to do everything and they don't publish because they know their findings are garbage. Look at follica, they published their results three years after it was completed, so no one has an idea what could possibly be happening by now.

I just want to know one thing, "what in the world do these scientists do all freaking day"? Get early to their office, turn on the coffee maker, check emails, mess up some Wikipedia entries, check facebook status. Then they analyze some results for the remaining day and call it a days worth of work?

Just because one gets a science degree doesn't mean they're very good at it...case in point, some so-called professional scientists on this board who are moron's...the almighty dollar comes into play here as well..

..but as far as RepliCell goes, there is no excuse for this -- they completed Phase Ia/Ib a LONG time ago, and advertised for Phase II clinical over two years ago now, but that was scraped...hmmmmmm...money?? or is it doesn't really work to what the market will demand?? A bit of both, IMHO...and just because I don't have any proof in my comment, that's what an OPINION is...some a=holes on here who expect to be owed 100% proof, even when someone is giving an OPINION based on observational insight...

 

[bushbush]

There are also some armchair scientists / new age alternative therapy quacks on this board who lack any formal scientific education, hence are unqualified to provide an objective commentary on such matters.

 

[bushbush]

"2-5 years" is usually media spin. You won't find unfounded projections in a published paper.

 

[Python]

You will from the scientists who published it when they're talking to media looking for investors to buy shares in their fraudulant company. Look at those scientists who have now invented a laser hat. I'm sure that'll work! Quacks. They want to take our money by promising us something we can't have, just like the scientists who design anti wrinkle creams for women. Liars.

Haha, that's true. I am sick and tired of new anti wrinkle creams that are suppose to finally and be the real deal and they use the same discusting angles to advertise. The thing with weight loss pills, it is just money they want and usually they have a sell out scientist/doctor who claims the product will work.
