Here is a message from Mr. Maliniak. I think it shows that he is serious about his program and it should be considered a little more seriously. Please take the time to read it.
Dear Elliot,
My name is LEON MALINIAK and I am the author of the MALINIAK METHOD.
I have followed with interest your comments and the comments of other people on your forum about my theory and treatment method and have been frustrated by the fact that the forum rules do not allow me to respond to some of the completely misleading and false statements that appear because I am part of a commercial venture.
It is doing a great disservice to those people who might be interested in the truth about what the MALINIAK METHOD says and who might really benefit from this totally new approach because it has shown positive results on everyone who has tried it so far. More importantly, the independent scientific studies which have recently been published and which are now posted on our website confirm that the two principal hypotheses of my new theory are correct.
I would not mind legitimate commentary and criticism or a reporting to other members which accurately reflects what I have said in the book and on the website, but statements which are manifestly wrong and misleading is malicious and uncivilized, and if you are truly interested in helping other people to solve this problem you will correct some of these misstatements.
I finally found this site and I am trying to comment here but I don't know who will see this post. If it is only you Elliot, I invite you you contact me directly and I will be glad to address and respond to any questions whatsoever that you may have about the MALINIAK METHOD, and try to clear up any misunderstandings so that the merits of my idea can be discussed in a legitimate and fair fashion.
There may be many more issues to clarify, but some of the first issues I want to address which I have seen being misrepresented on the hairlosstalk forum are the following;
1. The violet ray device we recommend as part of our treatment method has NOTHING to do with LASERS. We do NOT sell these devices ourselves, specifically because we did not want people to think that all we wanted to do was sell a machine and we do NOT profit from or receive any commission from the suppliers that we recommend in the e-book, a false statement which was made by someone on the forum.
2. My approach is not a rehash whatsoever of the skull expansion theory, because although that theory has definite merit in concluding that SE may play a role in male pattern baldness and that yourself and others have benefited from using it, this condition is still rare and cannot possibly explain the epidemic of hair loss and male pattern baldness. In fact it fits in perfectly with the principles of the MALINIAK METHOD because it explains ONE of the possible origins of a TIGHT GALEA...but it cannot be the only cause.
The MALINIAK METHOD concludes that it is firstly the TIGHT GALEA ( in fact all the three top layers of the scalp which are attached together) which disrupts blood flow to the follicles and that this then triggers both DHT "over-production" and excessive "accumulation" of DHT which is the SECOND of my TWO factor theoretical cause of hair loss and male pattern baldness. This therefore still respects the conventional wisdom that DHT is the actual "killer" of follicles but it adds the radical new idea that it is ONLY IN THOSE CASES where first the GALEA is tight and disrupts normal blood flow.
The debate about whether or not the GALEA is involved in hair loss or not has now been conclusively and definitively resolved by the findings of the CROWN INSTITUTE REPORT published on our website
www.bornagainhair.com
So my theory does not reject the SE theory but rather elaborates and expands on it by now allowing people, like yourself, to conclude that if SE is an issue, it is because it is ONE reason why the GALEA gets"tight", but explaining that there are OTHER reasons which therefore would broaden the group of people to whom this would apply.
3. My treatment method is in now way related to to the massage techniques advocated by anyone else because the whole point of my approach is NOT to massage the BALD AREAS themselves as the main target of treating hair loss and male pattern baldness ( except as a secondary and general aide to improving circulation) but instead to concentrate on massaging the muscles to which the GALEA is attached. The actual technique is irrelevant and can be performed many ways. The MAIN issue is WHERE TO MASSAGE.
4.Some comments on the forum are to the effect that "ALL MEN HAVE a GALEA SO WHY AREN'T ALL MEN BALD ?".
Although this was always addressed on the website I realized after reading this comment that it may not have been as obvious as I thought and I recently clarified it even more on the website itself although it has always been very clear in the e-book; the MALINIAK METHOD clearly provides that it is ONLY in those men who develop a TIGHT GALEA where it becomes a factor in hair loss. My theory is that is either due to a genetic predisposition to developing a tight GALEA, which is obviously not a factor for all men, or because of extreme stress.
In young when when this happens at the same time as their "spike" in testosterone production it would explain my the most dramatic, serious and most rapid onset of male pattern baldness cases is in such young men. It seems from your pictures and history that this is your particular situation. I myself was exactly in that position when I was around 20 years old.
5. The history of the violet ray device and the science behind it ,which is based on the work of NIKOLA TESLA, the greatest inventor of all time, whose achievements are more important than the work of EDISON, EINSTEIN and all other inventors combined rebut the gratuitous and misinformed statement by someone on the forum who said the history of this device was "sketchy" or words to that effect.
On the contrary, anything based on the science of TESLA is of the highest order of significance because we are only learning now that he was 100 years ahead of his time. His name is now back in the news with TESLA MOTORS and scientists have still not been able to recreate his inventions which he came up with a century ago.
By the way, seeing from your pictures that you have already made progress using some sort of massage techniques indicates to me that if you added this device to your treatments you would do even better. The electrical stimulation is more important for OLDER guys whose follicles have been dormant longer and in many young men MASSAGE alone, of the correct areas, might be enough if the hair loss is addressed soon enough, but this device can only make the results show up faster and better. That is my experience and the experience of all of the test subjects we have and from our first buyers.
Elliot, these are only a few of the rebuttals I have to some of the incorrect statements which have been made on that forum, and if you are a fair minded individual who is interested in sincere and legitimate scientific discourse and debate you will reconsider some of the comments you made about the MALINIAK METHOD and clarify it to the other members.
I value your opinion and that of the other people on that site because you have all been studying this issue for so long and know so much about it. I know you are all very sceptical and cynical because, like myself, you have all been disappointed for so long, but this issue has plagued me my whole life and I believe I have finally come up with a solution which really works and it troubles me that many people may be dissuaded from investigating this themselves because of these misleading or incomplete statements about it.
It is true this has become a commercial venture for me and I would be happy to make lots of money from it but if you read my whole family history, dealing with cancer and my general motivation to help change the way we deal with catastrophic disease, you will understand that there is also a very important emotional aspect to my involvement with hair loss.
I understand the trauma and distress that hair loss causes in men, especially young men and I hate seeing the members of your forum tormenting themselves in their endless and circuitous debates about the causes of hair loss when I know that this MALINIAK METHOD can probably help them. There may obviously still be much we have to learn about all the factors involved in hair loss, but it definitely seems like the TWO FACTORED theory I have developed and the TREATMENT method is SUFFICIENT for now to STOP HAIR LOSS and GROW NEW HAIR.
Maybe later other enhancements will be added to make it even better and other information will emerge which will allow us to supplement the treatment method and make it even more effective, but this WORKS well as it is presently described and people who need this should not wait.
I invite you to post this letter on the forum if you want and also invite yourself and any other member to e-mail me directly at;

Sincerely,
LEON MALINIAK
