Cal, MPB, Debris, Benji & JTR (Hair Multiplication & Research)

posted by cal, 02.07.2008, 08:57

Man, I had a LONG typed-out response done a minute ago. And then when I tried to post it, the friggin website had logged me out and I lost it all.



ICX doesn't encourage me very much anymore. The TRC program clearly has big trouble. Either they were seriously wrong in the basic "healthy DP cells = reactivated follicles" premise in the first place, or else they're seriously failing at getting it accomplished right.

I wouldn't be too surprised if TRC still actually worked pretty well to preserve existing DHT-susceptible hairs from any further damage. But without the regrowth Ace-in-the-hole, I don't think that alone will be enough to get it funded all the way to the finish line at our local (*gulp*) Bosley office.




As for the outside-the-body methods, I don't know enough to call any of it. Good or bad. It's an unprecedented idea, but it's an equally unprecedented situation. There aren't 100,000 men willing to pay thousands of dollars for thousands of tiny little livers or kidneys to transplant. No telling.





As for Folica, I'm not even paying attention to the commercial testing timeline. I'm just waiting for it to get tried enough by guys like us for word to trickle back now.

Just imagine if ONE guy on a website like this gets damn near perfect-looking regrowth from messing with it . . . I suspect that would absolutely break the door down. We'd see a couple dozen more guys throughout the internet suddenly buying online drugs & trying things overnight. In six more months, the scientists at Folica itself could be quietly surfing MPB websites for suggestions of anecdotal details.




I also wanna say this -

Don't rule out near-future improvements in scar healing technology. It's not hair, but it could offer a cosmetically decent buzz-down. I honestly think believing in this is at least as feasible as any of the HM ideas. Everything I read makes me think that just regenerating decent smooth skin will be a lot simpler than what we're trying to get done with complex hair follicles.


For the last 6/7 years, the US Military's trauma centers have been saving way over 10,000 soldiers from death because of these roadside bombs in Iraq/Afghanistan. Well, once the holes are patched up and the heart rate is stabilized, they've got a hell of a lot of soldiers on their hands with horribly blown-apart and burned bodies that look like they're probably gonna need lifetime VA medical care for the next 50 years. That has put the military in a position of wanting all kinds of body-regeneration progress, and they want it right now. They're gonna spend the money to see it happen. (The US govt wouldn't give public school teachers another $100/year without a fight. But when the US Military demands some piece of specific technological progress, it's liable to actually get it within a decent timeframe.)


In the near commerical situation, Juvista is back in the trials as far as I know. I don't know whether or not it'll make it, but the results are supposed to be pretty awesome on wounds done under controlled conditions.

Acell is unknown but looks promising. We're all so ape-sh*t about its hair potential, that we're not even looking very hard at its potential abilities to simply regenerate a smooth-skinned wound closing. Which seems even more plausible.
