    My decision to abandon Propecia...

    Just saying it's passed safety tests doesn't mean it is without downsides. Safe, in that long term use probably won't kill or incapacitate you, is not the same as saying it's harmless. As shown above, DHT has known critical functions in the human body - it's not produced by your body simply to...

    My decision to abandon Propecia...

    Today I have been considering whether to go onto Propecia or not. I took it for many years without any obvious ill effects, but I have felt much better/more energetic since I stopped (end of last year). After some research I've decided that systemic DHT suppression is not a a price worth paying...

    Reasonable Expectations?

    I have recently taken the plunge and buzzed my hair. I now have a grade 1.5 (back & sides) and a grade 2 on top. Happily my head is a reasonable shape for this and no nasty marks have been revealed, so it's going to be a permanent change. I'm not at peace with hair loss, though. I think better...

    Intercytex Interview April 2008

    Here's the interview: http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/board ... -DESC.html The interview produced lots of questionable speculation. However the only things really given in the interview are: 1) The Phase II trial results for Trichocyte are expected to be released in mid to late 2009 2)...

    Trial update from Intercytex

    I totally understand your pessimism. We don't have any solid evidence at this time, either way. The Intercytex statement implies positive progress, but doesn't back it up with exciting data. However, the statement from Intercytex was aimed at shareholders and certainly intended to convey the...

    Trial update from Intercytex

    That freaked me out, but now I've re-read it I'm feeling happy! It's written for shareholders, and is under the heading "Commercial opportunity". It simply says that Intercytex is not suited to taking this product forward alone. To exploit its potential they need a partner who can provide...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    I appreciate what you're saying, but what's the alternative? Discourage excitement and positivism in case they get in the way of mutual misery? This place is full of wildly over-the-top whinging and topics like "do I have the right to breed?". How does that help the mental state of unhappy...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    I did say I wouldn't post again, but I just wanted to show this: http://www.intercytex.com/icx/news/rele ... 007-12-18/ HM is real, it's already working in trials and it's now being developed for maximum performance. None of this is in doubt. It's a mystery to me why people here choose to...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    If Hair Multiplication has been seriously discussed since the turn of the millennium, then that sounds about right. Did you think it would arrive overnight? And because it didn't, will you now ignore all evidence and insist it never will arrive? There have been no reasoned arguments to refute...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    Why are you so determined to ignore/misrepesent this? No-one has said it's only going to be "a year or two" - both companies have said that public release is at least a couple of years off and the trials/development are still in progress. Confidence seems high that HM will be out by the end of...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    I'm glad some people here aren't so far gone that they're totally blind to the possibilities. The future may not turn out quite as rosy as I paint it, but you can be damn sure it's not as bleak as most people here are making out! That's just blatantly wrong. We're talking about injectable...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    Is this site about the promotion and growth of hair, or the promotion and growth of hair loss related depression? This isn't a question of morality or priority. None of that is relevant, since HM has been researched and is being developed for release in a few years. Why deliberately ignore...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree. :) I am. Two rival companies are preparing to bring it to market. There is no doubt that the technique works; we're just waiting to see how well. The principle behind it is underpinned by the same cellular growth technology that's being...

    The positive side of Hair Loss in 2007.

    Reading some of the posts here is just depressing. It seems a lot of people here just love to wallow in self pity. Personally, I'm taking a more positive view. I'm 38 and losing my har pretty badly. I have a large-ish bald patch on the vertex, nasty frontal recession and the front "tuft" is...
