[email protected] Is the email for the company, they have a lung cancer treatment and and a few other things coming soon. I'm sure you'll at least get a reply from these guys.

I think theres a netflix documentary on this guy where he attempts to transplant all microorganisms from his friends body into his.

Like everybody has its own micro universe of microbes living in symbiosis.
So he tries to get rid of all his bacteria and then transplant from his friend.

Its interesting and gross. (Think fecal bacteria, saliva etc)

For those who don't think gene therapy is within reach, read this article that was posted today:
https://gizmodo.com/this-guy-just-injected-himself-with-a-diy-hiv-treatment-1819659724

Three biohacker friends created an experimental gene therapy treatment for HIV and this guy just injected himself. I'm sorry but the biohacker movement is real, and it is within reach. If they can do this for HIV, we can do it for baldness.

Comparing AIDS to MBP ? Like really ?

Did you even read this article ?

"Roberts is a 27-year-old computer programmer and self-described “nomad.” He is also probably the first person to give himself gene therapy on an internet livestream."
“I’m feeling pretty elevated,” he told me. “But I’m trying to not put all of my emotional eggs in one basket, because there’s a very good chance this won’t work.”
“We do not advise that anyone watching this video do what is about to be done here.”
Hank Greely, a bioethicist at Stanford, told me that while it would be unlikely for the FDA to step in, the livestream was still troubling. “If he really did inject a DIY vaccine, I hope it doesn’t hurt him,” he told me. “But, if it does, at least he would be in line for a Darwin Award.”
In the video, though, it was not always clear that Roberts fully understood what he was undertaking. At one point he refers to DNA as “RNA.” At another, Davis corrects his understanding of the vaccine he is about to inject.

The guy doesn't even know what he is doing, and you rely on this and this little BioTech startup of 20's y/old to cure baldness within 5 years ? Where most gifted dermatologist and geneticists have been struggling for 30+ years to pinpoint what causes this, and they are still not 100% sure, biologically and genetically.
That's right, we don't even know or understand as of today all the biological principles leading to baldness.

[email protected] Is the email for the company, they have a lung cancer treatment and and a few other things coming soon. I'm sure you'll at least get a reply from these guys.

Oh yeah ? they have a fully working lung cancer treatment coming in January 2017 according to their site ? Where are their initial results ? Any clinical data ? Better inform the world then, i guess i've missed this Nobel Prize Award Ceremonies and people are still dying because of it.

Come on...really ? Are you all serious here ?

I'll finish with this statement made about this guy
“He decided to try and control his infection via natural means, like healthy eating.”

That right there raised red flags about his understanding of how biology works.

I'll check this thread in 10 years or so...That amount of delusional hope can be dangerous for some people you know

Don't really believe in this guy tbh but couldn't hurt to get them to pay attention to male pattern baldness.

The point is that the Biohacker/CRISPR movement is already here, and it is happening in people's homes, not some FDA approved facility. It's a DIY type of mentality where resources for the Biohacker movement are all available and if you know enough, you can do the same at home. That's the point.
Yea, people with little to no knowledge on genetics are gonna try to alter their DNA. What possibly could go wrong?

Probably a lot for a while but it's all about trial and error, there's some desperate people for every occasion just gotta find what works and what doesn't.

From my research into CRISPR - I have concluded it's no the best way to for almost anything - at least not yet. Long story short, CRISPR is relatively "easy" to get results in the current state on diseases that are blood related - everything else we need to administer the method through a virus. So anything that's not blood related, you'll need a specialized virus. The problem is that there's all sorts of things that can go wrong with that, specially DIY methods.

If this really was available, would anybody here honestly be willing to try this on themselves? I think I'd have to sit this one out

I used to be one of those guys man. I was trying experimental chems, but one day it hit me. I could be poisoning myself and dead. It just wasnt worth it. Im still healthy, im able to do whatever i want. I know i look like sh*t but at least im not in physical pain.

Seriously, this is some of the worst sh*t someone can say. The f*** is wrong with some people here.

I KNOW THIS IS A HAIRLOSS FORUM, BUT f*** ME HAIR IS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT MEANS ANYTHING IN LIFE.

Wtf I know different people face hairloss in different ways, some take it worse, but that usually means that we should encourage them and make them understand that it is not the f*****g end of the world.

"What the f*** do they have to lose?" People have families and a whole bunch of other sh*t. They may be in a tough spot, but saying this so arrogantly is f*****g retarted.

How is it arrogantly retarded? Look around the forums, I'm not saying what you want to hear I'm saying what is out there, all over the god damn forums, even a guy that responded to me before you did admited he was like what I stated, I'm not saying it's good but there's people out there. And the "what do they have to lose when they have everything to gain" is their mentality not mine.

It is because saying and repeating it like its nothing just gives them encouragment that their current state is right. If every guy who had suicidal thoughts at one point or another in their life were to commit suicide the suicide rate would be much much higher than now. Everybody has bad moments I bet my *** that half the world pop passes a moment of depression at a point in their lives doesnt mean sh*t wont get better. There are a lot of people who had suicidal tendencies who find reason to live and lead very happy lives.

When a friend has a breakup people dont go around saying she is the best you could ever get might as well die now. Its the opposite.

Long story short there is no need to freaking write things that might encourage people torwards shitty mistakes.

What the f*** are you talking about? All I was saying was that people will try it, wether you like it or not there are people in that current suicidal state that will try things like that as their last resort, I'm sorry if you don't want to hear it but it will happen.
