Holy F-Balls. Hey so I just found out that Genistein (a soy phytoestrogen) is a natural EGFR inhibitor! So I guess we can order a pure genistein powder off bulk DIY skin care sites, make a cream out of it and apply it on exfoliated skin using glycolic / azelaic acid / TCA and use dermaroller as an alternative to this future kit.

What do you think, sir?

Thanks for writing this article!

Interestingly, a lot of people are high on Follica and low on Intercytex. Yet, both companies wound the skin and inject a cocktail to produce new follicles. It seems to me, the Follica approach has more short-term potential, because it probably won’t require a lot of regulatory approval. However, the Intercytex approach has more long-term potential because the hair, IMO, will be more resistant to DHT. Time will tell, but I see no reason why the two techniques cannot be merged to produce the benefits of both methods.

The goals are the same–make the scalp environment conducive to promoting new follicle growth. This requires the use of drugs, growth factors, and stem cells. Despite Follica’s use of resident stem cells present in the bald skin compared to Intercytex’ injection of cultured stem cells, the two techniques are quite similar and should prove to be complimentary.

Cause us bald bastards are painfully obsessed with our heads. I’ve seen homeless people with glorious (though dirty) heads of hair, and thought to myself “that lucky SOB.”
