Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) When Follica came on the scene in 2008, David Steinberg left a comment on xconomy about their company, here's what he said. The reason I posted this is for when he mentioned the microenviroment changing with transplants. Maybe...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Well we won't know if works unti it is blocked, are you having second thoughts about doing the testing? or are you not able to get OC000459 now?

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) This is a link to download the full Cotsarelis study if anyone is interested http://www.sendspace.com/file/fqang6

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Just remove number 2 from your list, all we need is for someone to make a topical out of OC000459, I believe Boldy knows a company that will supply some. The fact that mice who had applied levels of PGD2 in their skin for...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Well we "know" PGE2 is essential for hair growth, and as I posted in the quote from the PGD2 study, aspirin like substances reduce PGE2 and PGD2, that won't help us at all, we need to inhibit PGD2 and increase PGE2, so we "know"...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Well if it's like Aspirin, according to the PGD2 study, And I just did a quick Google search to see if there was any information about Celecoxib decreasing production of PGE2, and there does appear to be quite a few articles...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Aspirin like substances aren't going to help, if you want to inhibit the right receptor you need to be using the right drug, I don't see the point in wasting money on stuff we know won't help.

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Apologies, I must have read it somewhere without checking. My point still stands though, getting the right dosage of any inhibitor is going to be difficut.

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) It wouldn't be a very good idea to reduce all the prostaglandins, I think the best thing the experimenters can do is first test the PGD2 inhibitor on its own, getting the right dosage is going to be the trouble, if there's up to...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Also in the study they say, Maybe the reason why some people respond well to stuff like minoxidil and others don't is simply down to the amount of PGD2 present in their scalps, that seems to make sense to me, although it's elevated...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Here's a link for the whole study paper, if anyone is interested in reading the entire thing. http://www.sendspace.com/file/fqang6 I've downloaded it and no problems.

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) I think the merck drug was for a different receptor, and they weren't testing it topically, which is what we would need to do. Good luck to Boldy and anyone else who is going to be the first to test this, please keep us...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) You said you wanted to form a group to buy the stuff, but you weren't allowed to discuss it on here, what's the point of keeping the thread going if you can't discuss testing it?

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Why don't you join hairsite and get a list of people together on there who are willing to be part of the experiment, they usually have people on their who will be interested in trying stuff like this. Try this section of their...

Re: A recently discovered new factor in AA, the cure is near :) Emu oil won't help, it's pointless imo. If people are going to try and block the right receptor, it's going to take a topical made from a clinically tested drug to achieve the right result. Boldy seems to be going in the right...
