Perhaps the cure against alopecia and baldness will come from Sardinia in the not too distant future. The hopes of thousands of Italians suffering from physiological or pathological lack of hair were placed in the "Brotzu Lotion", the preparation created a few years ago by a team of researchers from Cagliari led by Giovanni and Giuseppe Brotzu, respectively the son and grandchild of the great name doctor and pharmacologist who in 1945 contributed to the discovery of cephalosporins, the first class of antibiotics that in the following decades upset the therapeutic approach to diseases at the worst time in the world.
A LONG ROAD - A planetary revolution that its closest descendants can now repeat thanks to the miraculous lotion, according to at least the results of preliminary tests. But to brave the enthusiasm of many, exploded dramatically with word of mouth, we thought the same Brotzu, John of course. "The road to the marketing of the product has not yet been completed - says the vascular surgeon today eighty-three - in recent years we have sold the patent to a pharmaceutical company in Padua with which we are continuing to work to stabilize the preparation and make it suitable to public distribution ".
MANY REQUESTS - A slowness so motivated, but still exasperating for those who wait a lifetime to regain lost hair. So much so as to have induced more than one skeptic to shout to the conspiracy for the seemingly unjustified silence that fell on the discovery.
"I have the mail clogged by those who ask me news about the lotion and the phone does not stop ringing, but there is no mystery - assures the doctor - we are at the end and soon we will understand if the treatment will have the reliability requirements to enter business".
Meanwhile, the results of clinical trials, conducted during the initial phases of the research, to strengthen the patients' hopes. "The lotion works - ensures without hesitation Brotzu - has been tested on sixty volunteers and has confirmed its effectiveness".
ABOUT US THE PREPARATION - The beneficial effects of the preparation have been evident in those affected by various forms of alopecia: from the androgenetic one (better known as baldness) to the aerated one, aesthetically unpleasant due to the absence of hair circumscribed with patches on the scalp .
INTUITION - Yet the dream of a world populated by flowing hair has never jumped on top of the Brotzu before a few years ago. The origins of the potentially historical discovery are hidden behind a brilliant intuition.
"We have started our studies to find a solution to some side effects of diabetes - the surgeon reveals - specifically to microcirculation defects that cause bothersome and painful ulcers, the same that in general trigger the degeneration of the hair bulbs". The therapy, not by chance, not only healed the lesions, but also made abundant hair grow on the treated area. A result that has immediately turned a light bulb in the head of researchers so as to give life to new research in a field that has long been known to awaken the attention of those who have lost their hair.
TESTS - "We tested for the first time the lotion on a child and a nurse with whom we collaborated - recalls Brotzu -, with excellent results.In the last few years we patented the lotion and sold the rights to the pharmaceutical company Fidia to complete the A decision made with the awareness that a structure suitable for the final experiment would have been useful.I am, after all, a surgeon and now I have a certain age that allows me to leave the bulk of my work to others ".
