Something I neglected to mention to him is that I also live here in Houston. I may call him back later and tell him that I'd like to see those before-and-after photos myself; if he hasn't scanned them into emailable form, then I'll tell him I'm willing to drive over to wherever he is and take a look at the original prints myself.

Bryan said:Ok, I called Donald E. West (the CEO of Gulf Biomedical Inc.) a couple of hours ago, and had a pleasant chat with him. He seems to be a nice enough fellow. He acknowledged that he himself is NOT a medical or technical type of person, but a businessman who's heading the operation. He said that a certain group of medically-oriented people here (he implied they were associated in some way with the Texas Medical Center, the vast array of hospitals and medical research organizations here in the heart of Houston) thought-up the idea for "Hairmagic", and (presumably) came to him for developing it as a product.
As you might expect, he wouldn't divulge the exact ingredient in the product (the main hairgrowth-stimulating capsule consists of only ONE specific ingredient, he told me), saying that it was a company secret. However, he was very adamant about one thing: he practically yelled in my ear that it absolutely positively does NOT contain saw palmetto! He did admit, though, that the key ingredient was some natural substance which was very safe. "Is it some kind of herbal ingredient?" I asked him, and he seemed to acknowledge that it WAS of herbal origin. That's as far as he would go as to its identity. He did say that it was a STIMULANT type of substance, as opposed to an ANTIANDROGENIC type of substance. However, I'm not absolutely confident that he was thoroughly familiar with the distinction, since he's not really a technically-oriented type.
I asked him to discuss that preliminary trial with me some more. He claimed that yes, ALL of the 70 subjects had a positive response. Every single one of them! He said that they didn't take haircounts, but simply judged from before-and-after photographs of the subjects' heads. He said that people familiar with this area of medicine think that the response was MUCH better what you get with Rogaine. He also said that a more scientifically thorough trial is already in progress as we speak, which I believe he said will involve haircounts. He couldn't tell me exactly when that trial would be finished.
He seemed to be needing to leave soon (it was getting close to 5:00 PM here), so he asked me for my email address. He said he'd email me an amusing story later about how the product first came to be developed. I told him I'd look forward to reading that.
Something I neglected to mention to him is that I also live here in Houston. I may call him back later and tell him that I'd like to see those before-and-after photos myself; if he hasn't scanned them into emailable form, then I'll tell him I'm willing to drive over to wherever he is and take a look at the original prints myself.

Only idiots will swallow something so mysterious. This "magic" should be seen for what it is, a marketing con. It might just have some minor effectiveness, but all of us here should shun it as an insult to our consumer rights.
