a cancer drug cures baldness (alopecia universalis)

[aldoury]

Hello Everybody

 

I'd like to share with you this news that I read earlier this morning. To be honest, I lost my interest in these "future treatment" stuff because they are just promises . Anyway, I got this E-mail this morning and it looks like they found something interesting, a " CURE" for the bladness! at least that's what they claim

This is the entire message :

 

A breakthrough new treatment for the rare form of baldness known as alopecia universalis - in which patients have no hair whatsoever on their entire bodies - may turn out to be useful for treating ordinary baldness and hair loss, although researchers are still not sure.

Using a drug designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, a Connecticut dermatologist named Dr. Brett A. King helped a 25-year-old patient with zero hair on his body grow a full head of hair in eight months.

The man was afflicted with alopecia universalis, a rare form of hair loss that has no cure or long-term treatment.

The problem: The drugs are expensive... very, very expensive. According to one account, the drugs can cost up to $25,000 a year with insurance. What's more, they are serious drugs with serious potential side effects. But all indications are, they work!
