Sorry, the hair in the second pic is combed over the bald areas.

Burden of proof is on you, the manufacturer to prove your product works.

I suggest you work with Bill and have him get 10 patients willing to try your product for a year for FREE.

If it works as you say it does, you won't be able to fill all the orders you will get from this site and others.

I, however, expect you to go away unless your willing to prove your statements.

I agree with previous comments...the burden of proof is on the manufacturer, and there is still a lot to prove with this product's claims. That picture and generic product overview isn't going to cut it. For starters, if it really is a proven product that's been around for so many years then why's the marketing so poor?

Hopefully, there's more scientific evidence that can be provided to the site for review, otherwise it appears just to be another "miracle cure" with little backing.

the only way you will convince this community is to have some veteran members try the product out. otherwise you are wasting your time here.

Hi Hair Dew, Shorty B, HairThere, The B Spot, Please Grow Please and others.

I am in the process of responding to all your postings and will speak to Julia tomorrow to gather her thoughts.

We are very keen to nurture an ongoing dialogue on this community and will answer every question as soon as we can.

Yours sincerely,

Simon Q

S Quark,

In the future, please ask your consumers to post on this thread rather than creating their own. I don't want "Satura" testimonies all over the forum when to me, there is still no compelling evidence that this product works.

For the consumers you are contacting and asking them to post, please make sure they are willing to post their pictures. If not, then tell them not to post.

Our members are interested in proof which is why I am humoring you by allowing you to participate here. Spam will not be tolerated.

Thanks,

Bill

My apologies Billeos.

Many of them are completely new to message boards and I will ensure that any of them who are planning to join the dialogue are clear on the protocol required to continue the conversational opportunity you have afforded us here.

Once again - my apologies to all.

Sincerely,

Simon

Simon, you have much to apologize for.
Deceptive photo practice for a start.

As several others have already pointed out on this thread:

"Before" picture is overexposed and hair is splayed out to appear as bald as possible. Head is tilted more downward than after photo making thinning area appear larger relative to the "after" photo.

"After" photo is darker than "before" photo and hair has been combed to cover thinning area. The large gap right in the center of the hairline is still as prominent as it was in the first photo.The head his now tilted more upward making the thinning area look smaller and the photo was taken from a greater distance making the thinning area falsely appear smaller.

And of course no medical information is made available. You probably don't even know the medical background of the subject in your "copywritten" photo yourself. How do we know she didn't have a thyroid condition that was untreated in the before photo?

I do not know this company, nor do I know the people. But the modus operandi will be identical to the laser advocates.
1.Deceptive photos,
2.Supposed "scientific" studies,
3.False and non-sequitar refrences to biochemical science,
4.Government refrences,
5.Media attention,
6.Physician complicity,
7.Tons of unsupported anecdotal testimonies from supposedly satisfied customers. None of them verifiable of course.
8. And plenty of back-pedaling and needing time to get more information and evidence from "other" people.

We've seen it all before.

Of all the oils you mention in the "product" you forgot the most prominent one...snakeoil.

Shame on you Simon, I don't know how you and others like you sleep at night.
