So any stupid and overly insecure fears of Intercytex not being a genuine or for that matter a company should be forgotten now. We can now wait for their products to hit the market in the not too distant future. Of course time will vary depending on how successful they are in producing it. I hope drug testing in the UK is not as time consuming as our stupid FDA's is. We talk like we are champions in everything yet we can't even get a damn product approved for patients within 2 years. I understand the long term effects and hence the long delay in approval but I think FDA being such an important unit of our pharma industry should be proactive about drugs that take longer to approve. They should work hand in hand with the Pharma company that is producing these products so each result gets approved as it is tested the first, why re-invent the wheel?. Of course in this case Intercytex is not a U.S based company but I know there are some American companies that have started to work on HM.

Either way guys..don't you dare give up..because sooner or later this thing is coming out and it is better late than never.

It does sound encouraging.

But this part: "Dr Nigel Hunt, psychologist at the University of Nottingham and spokesperson for Alopecia UK, said hair loss was traumatic, especially for women."
annoyed me somewhat.
So we handle it so much better hey? I must be the odd one out. :roll:

Baldness is much more socialy acceptable for men than women. This doesn't mean that men get any less than women when they lose their hair. But still there are good looking bald men and there are 0 good looking bald women.

That's so true. If I were a girl and I had the hair I have now, I would probably die of humiliation.

However, it is more socially acceptable for women to wear wigs and hairpeices.

Society gives and takes, I guess.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George got a toupee, and then he started getting chicks right and left, and then he was dating some hot woman who confided to him that she was wearing a wig and was actually bald, so he tried to make her feel better by taking his off, and then she dumped him
