LMS,

i totally understand what you're talking about and your point of view is well taken. i know that there are thousands of bright heads trying to come up with this nobel prize/miracle of all miracles challenge every single day. but I look at it with the bigger picture sort of like the whole forest and not just one tree. so let's say when the elite medical students finish the university they are very enthusiastic and most likely are looking into the main stream, real issue medical practice as their life long passion and future workplace. while arguably the hair loss research/medicine is still labeled to many of them as the alternative field. so for example 200 fresh of the books students and veteran top docs are looking and trying to solve the life threatening illness while 2 fresh of the books and veteran top hair research docs are working at the hair loss solution. this is where the all similarities/differences end. the ratio is too big so are the odds. the odds for the hairloss breakthrough cure vs. let's say aids cure are just too apparent looking at the big picture. but then again the luck plays a big role in our lives just remember how penicillin was found all those years back.

there have been advances in all areas of medicine, but nothing really worth jumping up and down over in awhile. i mean, we know the causes of many diseases, but yet have no cures, just treatment.
i hate taking the conspiracy side, but it makes you wonder if there really is enough attention/interest in cures rather than treatment.
read the book 'cancergate' and you will know what i mean. very interesting book.
anyway, the way the world is today...it seems there is only a cure developed if there can be money made, and there is definately money to be made in a cure for baldness. although that would mean the baldness treatment business (rogaine, propecia, transplants) will go out of business overnight...and that business alone is worth hundreds of millions.

it looks like that it's all about job creation. paying taxes, making rich richer, poor poorer and middle always in the middle. no conspiracy there just the way the system has been set up. we all know the reality all too well and that's why i like sometimes to listen to my man George Noory to contemplate the alternative reality.

do you think that government would give a damn about the automobile industry if the job loss was not at stake and they got nothing out of it in return? makes you think.
