For jotronic (Hair Transplant)

The Greek,

"How will he know the sides when you prescribe Dut since you dont even know them because it is not approved for hairloss patients.and how is it responsible to prescribe a drug that is only approved for cancer for hairloss??"

Wow, Dut is only approved (FDA, right?) for cancer? When did this happen? Should I start a thread in a cancer support forum telling everyone that there is now a cancer pill? Will they call you a liar? Dutasteride is not "approved for cancer". It's approved for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). As for the sides, does the Dut pill know when it is prescribed for hair loss thus making the sides effectively DIFFERENT? That is one smart Dut pill. The side effects are well noted as Dutasteride is not the newest script med on the block. We tell our patients about the POTENTIAL sides as stated by what is KNOWN. This is responsible medicine. Actually, Dutasteride is prescribed for no more than probably 200 of our patients. Finsteride is still the gold standard.


(In reference to prescribing meds to prevent the great hair chase) "This is wrong since the greatest advancement lately in transplants is hair loss drugs since your results look better because you have more native hair to work with thus eliminating the supply and demand issue artificially at least in the short term...That makes the results look better and bring more patients to clinics...and that is more productive financially."

So, by your rationale, proprietors of HM could recommend NOT using meds in order for patients to continue their loss after an HM treatment thus locking them into a cycle of chasing their hair loss. "Unlimited" supply or not, chasing loss is chasing loss. Abolishing meds would be great IF HM was going to only cost pennies per injection/placement/whatever. Guess what, it probably won't. I mean, we're talking about the cure for baldness here, right? Well, it probably won't be pennies, so those patients that take your advice will continue to lose hair, donor or otherwise, and could potentially NOT be able to afford further treatments. This is all hypothetical but see the parallel? Since you used me as an example, lets discuss. If you think for a second that meds make my result what it is (like it or not) you either don't know how meds work or you have no idea what my case entails. I was close to being a full blown NW7, brother, and I had 300 minis sticking straight up compliments of Dr. Norris. My crown did benefit from meds but only the peripheral edge. Meds tend to work only in the areas where the velous hairs are still pretty strong. Meds do not produce hair where hair has been absent. I had lots of absent spaces on my scalp therefore my result most definitely is NOT from meds.

"If HM comes out drugs will be a choice because we will have enough supply to cover the demand, now drugs are not an option they are a necessity if you want your transplant to look good since the demand and supply issue still stands and meds are the only way to turn the tables to your favorite.But these meds have sides and a maybe lot of people suffer them in silence so that they dont risk their transplant.That wont be the case with HM."

News flash. Drugs are a choice now. How many guys on this forum fore go meds in favor of home brew concoctions? A lot. The notion that many patients "maybe" suffer in silence is pure guess work. I've seen a lot of speculation as to what the cost of HM will be. I hardly think that some of the guesstimates will have people throwing their prescriptions out the window.

"Well if the subject is out of my league and the advancements prove me wrong once, after that i shut my mouth and i understand that i was 2 ignorant to post a statement that could affect peoples choises.You see when you say that you talk with people deep in the know people might actually believe you and get affected by your words and thinking that there is no other option is sight and their only option is a transplant...And since the last time you were speaking with people in the know and they were telling you 20 years 2 a lifetime propably you might be proved wrong again."

Could it be that some people may believe me because I have a pretty good record of not lying? The difference between you and me TheGreek is that I have owned up to my mistake already. In case you hadn't seen it I apologized for my statement. True or not it really got some people upset which most definitely was not my intent. Did you see the colorful metaphors thrown around, yours included? "Lying trash salesman"? The whole situation was blown WAY out of proportion and I apologized. Speculation, hearsay, call it what you want. No one knows the release date of HM, not even ICX.

Again with the word twisting. Your quote above says that when I said HM was 20 years off or longer, I said so after speaking with someone "in the know". Your inaccurate quote is fodder for more forum lynch mobbing because it is completely wrong. I spoke MY opinion based on what knowledge I had at the time. That was a couple of years ago. Someone else posted a quote of mine from back in 2003 where I mentioned that HM was not government funded research. Since then ICX has received such funding for robotic automation. Besides, the quote was taken out of context because my point was that the HM research itself at the time was not government funded. The funds were from private enterprise and in private enterprise, in today's economy, capitalism still rules and the basic idea of capitalism is supply and demand. Bosley knows all about this. Note their gradual decrease in HT prices over the years.

Perhaps you should think a bit more before you respond to some of my posts. Your responses are based more in emotion than anything. I say anything remotely negative about HM and because I'm "the man" and represent "the establishment" you get all old school NWA/Dr. Dre trying to stick it to me.
