So it's 1 AM and I was thinking. I am slowly reaching 30 and my hair has thinned a little bit, but no where close to balding. It seems like, every year, we hear that the baldness cure is going to be released in the next 3~4 years, but it never really shows up.
Baldness treatment and therapies, and hoax medicines make a fortune. It's a huge industry to that rips off men. If they really came out with a medicine that reverses or simply stops balding with 0 side effects, it would destroy the industry as we all know it. Is it simply coincidence that the only proven anti-balding 'cures' also happen to have the side effect that it kills your boners (something that all men do not want).
Call me tinfoil conspiracist, but I honestly think that the cure has come out already, but the hair industry that makes a killing won't let it come out. I heard stemcell method can reverse hair loss but you can never find that much information about it online.
What do you guys think? Would love an honest discussion on this.
minoxidil/rogaine worked for me over the course of 4 months; i had to apply it every day. i got lazy and stopped using it and now my hair is falling out again.
i'll be bald in 10 years; i'm too lazy to do anything about it.
What do you mean by cure? Androgynous balding is not a disease, it doesn't need a cure. This is a natural process and it's explained by hormonal levels in the blood. The thing with hormones is that you can not simply take more if they are low or do some drug that decreases a said hormone. Because all the side effects with hormones are strictly dose specific. And more, if you do some hormone the hypophyseal gland will force the body to do more of some other hormone in order to restore the balance and you're fucked. If I start to go bold I will just shave with a razor. I do this even now so I couldn't care less for balding.
Hair products companies have a lot to gain from people actually having hair. If you're not balding you'll be buying more fucking shampoo. There's no motive. Balding = people who shave their hair and don't buy your fancy chemicals.
Conclusion: If hair product companies had a solution, they'd patent the fuck out of it and sell it in 3-packs. You balding? Use this fancy small bottle that costs $120 that is called pRoroepodoxin420, and then be sure to use the free included pRoroepodoxin420+ shampoo and the pRoroepodoxin420-23 conditioner that activates the pRoroepodoxin420. Be sure to use it twice a day.
i seriously doubt that, do you think the same is true of cancer? cancer treatment = goldmine in the states. definitely there's less incentive to spend money on research for cures because of the money made from treatment

But it wouldn't be the hair companies themselves, but the baldness treating companies that have something to lose. And these companies are different altogether, no?

I don't think so. Hair products companies employ chemists and chemical engineer type folks who work on baldness treatments and everything hair related because they're the ones who have the most to gain out of it. They do their own R&D in-house and they already have the expertise on hair related stuff.
And if there are firms doing R&D specifically on baldness treatments, they'd have a lot to gain from selling something that actually works. And given the nature of "baldness", I can't imagine it'd be a one-pill and you're good forever. The market would boom when something that works reliably hit the market and they'd sell gallons of the stuff and people would buy it for decades.
You're all talking about cancer and baldness but you've forgotten about something bigger and more important: Death and the medical industry.
Medical treatment and therapies, and hoax medicines make a fortune. It's a huge industry to that rips off men. If they really came out with a medicine that reverses or simply stops death with 0 side effects, it would destroy the medical industry as we all know it. Is it simply coincidence that the only proven anti-death 'cures' also happen to have the side effect that it kills you outright (something that all men do not want).
Call me tinfoil conspiracist, but I honestly think that the cure has come out already, but the medical industry that makes a killing won't let it come out. I heard stemcell method can reverse death but you can never find that much information about it online.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic? Assuming it's not...you can't stop death with medicine. People will still get run over by trucks. Airplanes will still crash. People will still choose to stay when a hurricane comes and die. Etc.
Maybe you're referring to aging? That we absolutely can stop, and will at some point. In terms of destroying the medical industry...it absolutely would not. Especially at first we are likely to prevent aging by curtailing various facets that cause aging, meaning many different drugs or treatments necessary. Which in turn means massive profit to be made.
Even in the far off end point where you might have some super pill that contains everything you need and perfectly delivers each molecule of drug to specific cellular targets exactly as needed...well you still have a pill you are selling.
And there will always be new viruses, bacteria, etc. arising in the environment.

"Stemcell method" doesn't really mean anything as it's incredibly broad. A bit like saying "the drug method is great for killing bacterial infections". Sure, it could be, but what drugs are we talking about? In what manner are they being used?
If you're referring to using EpSC's to produce both epidermis and dermal papillae and graft onto the skin, then yes it will probably work in the future, but right now the techniques involved are not sufficiently advanced or cost effective to make it a treatment option.

Certainly not. They would just market whatever treatment or drug that eliminates baldness and sell it for loads of money. Then their is the aforementioned hair-care industry that benefits from people having hair, not going bald.

Depends on preference. In many societies/cultures balding is not seen as an especially favorable trait. It may be naturally occurring, but for vanity reasons if nothing else there are still reasons to want a cure.

Balding, for most, is not a disease in and of itself. However, the underlying cause that results in the changes in regulation of key players such as testosterone, receptors, key enzymes DHT, SHBG, etc., also known as "aging", is a disease.

This is true, but only because we have such poor vehicles and regulation over delivery of hormones and drugs. With better, more specific delivery vectors this will be less of a concern. Target drug will be delivered to target location and not left to drift around to other areas of the organ or system.
