Yeah, well general community feedback and stats seems to indicate the contrary.
I stated time and again that this thing had all the hallmarks of a scam, that it was unacceptable for a University to do this kind of thing, etc. but you argued that it was unwise or ridiculous to reach that conclusion and that instead we should just wait until it's out and people use it before saying it's a scam. I will say again: Science does not work like that and if you wouldn't wait and see if that iphone you bought is legitimate, then you shouldn't do that for medical procedures and treatments either. Now what do we have? Yet another product full of "vitamins" and "biotin" that doesn't do anything that thousands of other products containing the same ingredients do — nothing.
Enthusiasm for jargon, marketing and relying on anecdotal claims to inform you on what you'd like to believe rather than scientific research is unhealthy and why men and women throughout history have been duped and cheated on hairloss and I am glad to see that in this instance, most people didn't fall for it.
Let’s be clear – you called Reboost a scam while it was a product in development, even though you had no credible knowledge about the complete list of ingredients at that time. Isn’t that a classic case of jumping to conclusions? Where was your evidence back then that proved this product’s a scam?
Since the beginning, my narrative has been that you cannot call a product a scam when it hasn’t been released to the general public. You're not a researcher, nor a scientist working daily on issues of hair loss – and as I explained to you before, you can’t determine whether a product is a scam or not until it’s released to the general public and users have shared their experiences.
Minoxidil was released in 1988, but I had a pharmacist making minoxidil for me in 1986. That’s over 30 years ago. Where you even born then? Minoxidil never really grew any hair for me, but I kept using it because I hoped it might keep what I have. Would you call Minoxidil a scam because it didn’t grow hair on my head? Or is it simply a product that works for some – especially young guys who’ve just started losing their hair?
I don’t know if Reboost will grow hair for a few a people, or none at all – and neither do you. That has been my position since word of this product hit the internet. And, keeping an open mind, it’s possible, though perhaps unlikely, that vitamins and nutrients might grow hair.
Here’s one example – during a routine checkup my doctor noticed that I’d lost nearly all my eyebrow hair. He told me that this was a side-effect for people with thyroid issues. I was put on a medication (Synthroid), but it didn’t regrow my eyebrows. Later, my doctor advised me to go to my local vitamin store and pick up an iodine supplement because thyroid issues often come about because the body's stopped producing iodine. 4 months later 90% of my eyebrows grew back because of an over-the-counter supplement. It’s self-evident that what we put in and on our body can often demonstrate powerful effects.
How sad is it that you would hope that this product would not be effective for those of us with hair loss just so that you could have your Haha moment and say that you're right? Wouldn’t it be nice if this product worked to some degree so that we could get off Finasteride and grow some hair in the process? Time will tell, but there will be no Haha moment today.
