Bought it online. I hypothesize it to be as effective as WAY, in that it targets the same pathway effectively. I am exactly 1 month in TODAY. I think I see a difference but I am taking pictures.
In the 1990 Gilhar study, they used cyclo in olive oil. Yeah. Olive oil. And its mass is larger than 500 daltons. Yeah. They used it topically. So I wound and apply a 2% solution twice daily. I wound every 2 days or so. Its dissolved in alcohol, PG, DMSO, Polysorbate 80, and a drop of castor oil. Wintergreen added for scent.
The guys that are developing WAY went about it very slyly. They say, "the side effect profile of cyclo is too risky! Here is a drug that does the same thing!"
Couldn't fool me. The doctors they have on file saying cyclo is too risky are in coops with the team developing WAY. Anyone with google and knowledge of the world can see the writing on the wall.
In a nutshell, some scientists see a 1990 study using cyclo that completely grew hair on 25% of the subjects. They see the mass is greater than 500 daltons. They formulate a molecule that does the same thing, make it smaller than 500 daltons, and give a couple doctors they work with some kickbacks to go on file saying cyclo is dangerous. They then sell their molecule.
