I'm not sure about this, but to me, I believe the original source is from a medical journal article that was published about 8 to 10 years ago. I noticed it mentions Dr. Gho who was one of the early pioneers of the HM process. His process has never relly materialized and has since been abandoned, unless of course this is actually something new coming from the Gho clinic. (I doubt it as he's been pretty much "out of it" as far as the cutting edge for quite a number of years now).
I do believe Gho has continued some experiments on very small, carefully selected groups of (paying) volunteers. As far as I know, nothing significant has ever come about from his "splitting hairs" technique because a very low yield was the main problem with it - the reason why the process was not followed up on. From what I recall the follicles that were transected did not survive the implantation. This evolved into the HM research work and studies that Intercytex, now bankrupt for almost 2 years, began about 5 to 7 years ago. ICX is now owned by Aderans, and who knows what they are doing with ICX's work.
But don't hold me to any of this, as I may have some it wrong, as I am merely going "off the top of my head" :mrgreen: about this stuff (no pun intended).
