I know they don't state a specific timeline but I feel this can't be too far off into the future can it? http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/267732.php

defintely. And after 5 years...
it will be 5 years.
it will be 5 years.
Son of a b**ch lol I was thinking less than 10 years for sure. I just can't believe we have all this technology and still no cure yet. I'm positive we are close. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts :jump:

How close? Really close.
I don't know. I was talking to my dad who is almost completely bald and he was saying when he started balding roughly about just before he was 30, everyone said a cure was only 5-10 years away. 16+ years later and we're being told the same thing. It's hard for me to be confident in these doctors/scientists claiming 5 years from now.

Yeah, we've smashed atoms at light speed, landed on the moon, mars and on a fvcking comet, cloned sheep, etc.... but treating hair loss is a BIG fvcking obstacle!

It's because they simply don't give a sh!t. If they did, there'd be case studies with all the damn papers released about all these different potential treatments. Even when Tofacitinib made headline news for Alopecia Areata, nobody even bothered to try it for Androgenetic Alopecia... you know, the type of baldness that affects 99% of hair loss sufferers? But for some fvcked up reason, the 1% catches a break but we still get snubbed. I've sent a few emails to Dr. Brett King asking if he's done or will do a case study; NO RESPONSE.

beyond our lifetime. I used to live on this site. I come here now say once every 4 mos? 3 - 4 times a year? and when I come we are still at the same place we were the last time I was here. I have little to no faith in scientists curing it.

I just recently spoke with a world renowned Harvard Medical School hair researcher who is also an astrophysicist, philosopher and engineer. He also holds degrees from Stanford, Yale, Oxford, ITT Tech, and Columbia. He has personally logged over 100 duodecillion research hours into hair loss and hair regeneration research. He also knows over 90 trillion digits of pi. He can also multiply big numbers in like 2 seconds. Basically every academic achievement imaginable, he has attained. Rhodes Scholar, Fields Medal, Holiday Inn Express...you name it. He's done it. He can also solve a rubik's cube without even looking at the cube to see the arrangement of the colors. Btw he also speaks every human language. So you know this information he shared with me is legit.
He said that he was working with NASA and a rare Mars space rock (literally plucked from Mars and brought back here) is being synthesized into a chewable vitamin tablet that will come in either Strawberry or Mango flavors and it will, he predicts, grow all of a man's hair back within hours of taking just one pill. He was telling me a cure for male pattern baldness is about 10 to 15 seconds away. Really good news imho.

That was a long route to take to troll but ok whatever :crazy:

Kinda sad actually. Scientists seem to find it more important to cure the hairloss of mice than to cure it for human beings, that need it more.
Looks like society finds mice more important than us.
Looks like society finds mice more important than us.
Y'all are totally right. There was a recent survey among scientists, asking: "In your opinion, is it more important to cure hair loss for mice than for humans?" The results were as follows:
Of the 68% answering "curing mice baldness is more important", these were the most frequent reasons provided:
- 68% Yes, mice are a more important treatment target
- 32% No, we should focus on finding a cure for humans
Of the 68% answering "curing mice baldness is more important", these were the most frequent reasons provided:
- It is financially much more profitable to cure mice
- We need to oppress bald men, because otherwise our mating chances would decrease
- We are in a huge conspiracy with big pharma
