It is truly amazing that in 2015 we don’t have an absolute cure for hairloss. Something (in theory) as simple stopping hairloss or growing hair on where it formally grown has stumbled scientist worldwide.


But the real question has it?


This is the issue of the private market. Profit before health and wealth before happiness. Personally, I have no doubt whatsoever that the cure already exists and that hairloss companies are doing everything in their power or already have to shut the cure. Treatment is always more profitable than the cure. Once people know the cure, they know the underlying reason and the rest is history.


Collusion is a real thing and happens daily in the real world. Merck and Johnson & Johnson probably working together to prevent the cure from reaching the public and shutting down any possible studies, which show the cure.


Today you can get a 115-pound skinny guy and with steroids you can convert him to 250 pound 8% body fat of lean muscle monster with the usage of anabolic steroids. You can do this to any man. We can grow muscle like it is nothing. Steroids were created by the Nazis and Soviets with Americans coming later creating DBOL, the most anabolic steroid alive. All this was done within years through public enterprise. Nearly all-major technological and medical advancement has come through public enterprise. Look at the space race, within a decade of trying American landed man on the moon. Military technologically and science is like 15-20 years ahead of private industry.


People rave about private enterprise but honestly I rather hairloss research in the hands of public enterprise. If the American government, Chinese, Russian or powerful nation sent its best scientist to find a cure for hairloss, we would have a cure within 5 years no ifs and buts about it. I go futher and state within 5 years that would have find a way to grow hair like 60 inches a year and increase thickness and density. No doubts here


Sure you could argue who will fund it. But this fallacy of private industry coming to our rescue and solving hairloss is a myth.


Money corrupts everything. Rather have a government led research on hairloss.


RANT OVER LOL

Do you really think the private industry would have had a cure already if they wanted to and just keep spoiling the market with ineffective treatments? I do not think so. Why would you keep such a profitable cure from the public if you would make billions with it? And even if you wanted to, the government will never decide to make hair loss a public research project. Storiods could create some super-humans and that is why the military was interested so they were also interested in their profit (winning battles or wars or having a more powerful army). So there would not be any difference with the motives behind government and free market...

As if they would have developed smartphones in the Soviet Union. There simply is no way that planned economy could ever satify the demands of an advanced economy with complex products.

Dude...just look at any Biochemistry book from any medical doctor student...

You will be mind fccd about how deep it is..

It tells about genes...the structure of genes..the location of genes...
Various codon of the genes..

How amino acids are formed..
The biochemistry field in medical or layman refered it as genetic research is so deep and ultra deep..
They have library of all 30 thousand genes and dna..RNA..

All noble awards 75 percent are in biochemistry field only..

Actually there is less money in this field of hairloss...
Do you really believe Hair transplant surgeon earn huge..
Forget it...

Gastroentero surgeon,cardiologist,kidney liver disease have more money than this problem...
Thats why there has been zero research...

Besides do u know how minoxidil was found ..

Minoxidil as a arteriolar dilator was used orally as a treatment for congestive heart failure..which was used to lessen preload on heart.This drug then was found to cause hirsuitism in female patient.This lead to the birth of Minoxidil.
That clearly explains now one wants to enter this field..
Even Minoxidil wasnt primary discovery for hairloss...

(Primary refers to the discovey made solely for the problem in medical field.)

There is less money in hairs..
So i dont think it will be ever a priority for docs..

Radiology..orthopedics and general surgery plus are best fields for money....
4 billion dollar in this world of about 50 trillion dollar world economy is not big amount....

Its not cured because no one knows how to cure it. Its complicated and no one understands all the different pathways and how significant each piece is to the overall puzzle. I mean the diagrams of what is even known so far are quite large. Progress has been made like wnt pathway, PGD2 have drugs in the pipeline right now, but it takes like a decade to get through trials. Its just how it works in medicine most of its a big crap shoot.
Cancer is a great example of huge amounts of resources and effort leading to little results. Its not lack of effort its just the complexity combined with lots of other stuff like approaches, molecules, difficulty testing results. Tons of stuff.

If it wasn't for the stifling regulations we would already have a cure.

yeah. it is not the private market... is it the government regulations removing the incetives to produce a cure...

e.g. the ridiculuous cost of FDA trials, etc. ...
