I'm just glad that I'm not so desperate that I'd pay to send some guy on a vacation to Japan just so I can get some morsels of a rumor that will have absolutely no impact on the time frame of a cure actually being applied to my head. If someone announces they are releasing a cure, it will make the media. If someone announces Phase II-III findings, they will be published. Other than that, who cares what's said at the conference? More, "We've discovered a new mechanism! We plan to test in mice next year!" Or another, "Muh five years!" declarations. Who cares? We already know what the potential near-term protocols are going to be.
Hey, hey buddy, you better stop there. If you don't like the idea of donation and sending hellouser to Japan, you don't have to say anything. Just keep it to yourself. Moreover, nobody asked for your opinions here, right? So why should you waste your time writing all this non- sense stuffs which doesn't help anyone or contribute anything but instead is demoralizing the members who already donated and preventing others from donating in near future.
The donation is not even mandatory and people are donating here on their own will, so what's your problem with that? Calm down brother, take a deep breath. It's just a different point of view.
1. Some members think that sending hellouser would bring some positive news and a detail analysis on the subject - there's nothing wrong with that - it's the freedom of choice and should be respected no matter what.
2. A few in this community doesn't support this but they are not crying about it like you.
So if I pay for a stranger to have a great vacation in Tokyo, a cure for hair loss will be discovered faster than if I don't?
Vacation, seriously?
Please read all the posts of hellouser in the last hair congress. There are certain things like knowing all the schedules of the researchers and making your own goddamn tight schedule according to that. There are those recorded tapes which needs editing all the time and the painstaking job of uploading them on youtube. Moreover, he has to keep track of all the questions needed to be asked and has to arrange them in order to bring up a healthy conversation. You can't just ask them what, when, how? It would be somewhat irritating and less humane. In short, this is not a vacation at all and not even close to it.
3. Strongly disagree what you said here
If anything worthwhile comes out of the meeting, it will be reported in journals and media anyway.
what's worthwhile according to the media? The real science for curing hairloss or the catchy headline where it says BALDNESS CURE IS NEAR with the advertisement of a scam product. The latter brings in more money without hardwork. So if anyone has to know the real science about a new treatment, he has to reach them personally and gather information and based on that information, we can make our own decision. That's where Hellouser comes in the picture. Instead of underestimating the campaign, you should atleast support it morally, if not financially.
