I guess that's the worrisome part. After reading the first post and reactions I had a lot of optimism regarding this lotion. However, we've been hearing the company is expecting to make a statement in September, and that never happened. Since then we've had no pictures or timeline other than pure speculation and reports from people who are allegedly in the study (no proof of that as well).
The only picture we've seen is a child who was supposedly suffering from Alopecia Universalis experience regrowth on their head. While encouraging, as someone who has previously had Alopecia Areata it's also likely that the immune system just coincidentally stopped attacking the hair follicles in that region. If you get a large enough sample size, there must be one or two people that will by the sheer randomness of the disease experience regrowth naturally.
I hope that I'm wrong, but when I take a step back from my blind hopefulness and look at what was delivered by the company, so far we've had nothing. We've had no pictures, no statements past the initial one, no official release date or trial updates. As a company interested in generating profit you would think a lotion that promised stabilization, no symptoms, and potential regrowth of 5+ years would be advertised ad nauseum by now.
Finally, we don't (and probably will never) know how valid the trial results are. Are they going to be independently verified? Are hair diameters measured? Are they not on other hair loss drugs? If a no-name scientist followed the same process from the start to now as Brotzu, I feel many people would have wrote it off as snake oil by now. I hope I'm wrong, but it's bothersome that the *most* we have to go on is anonymous posters (who may have incentive from the company) on an Italian forum telling us it's worth the wait. Also, the fact that it's a cosmetic that's avoided all FDA verification promising all that seems sketchy.
