In non-hair-loss news, a new study on dietary fats shows what has been suspected for decades.
Snippet from the article:
Although for nearly 60 years people have been urged to decrease their consumption of saturated fats to prevent heart disease, until now there has been surprisingly little scientific evidence that doing so actually decreased the risk of coronary heart disease events. A new study by researchers at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) provides the first conclusive evidence from randomized clinical trials that people who replace saturated fat in their diet with polyunsaturated fat reduce their risk of coronary heart disease by 19%, compared with control groups of people who do not.

Our younger readers think that their body is a castle capable of standing up against all diseases, so there is often little consideration for preventive diets that will preserve lifestyle. This reference just points out how simple a preventive diet can be. For further reading on the various fats, see Mayo Clinic.
My thoughts are that if you do enough scouring and research on the Internet for any hint of negative effects associated with any medication you will be amply rewarded… and thus spiraling you down the path of confusion, fear, indecision, mistrust of the medical field, and eventually diverting you from your original path of enlightenment and trying to take control of your health.
In a recent publication, erectile dysfunction (ED) was found to be a robust predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in men with cardiovascular disease or those with risk factors for cardiac disease. The connection between the blood vessels of the heart and the penis show that the blood vessels of the penis mimic those of the heart when there is significant cardiovascular disease present. These findings were recently 
I like your way of thinking, but you can’t put together possibly disassociated facts to make them work. I suppose that is the first step to innovation, though. I suppose anything is possible in the not-so-near future, but I see an influx of angry emails whenever I poo-poo on any future technologies by telling them that if it ever were to become reality, that it would be many, many, many years away.
You can’t blame Joseph R. Garcia for gazing in the mirror and dreaming of luxuriant locks sprouting from his balding pate — if that was his wish when he strolled into a Park Ridge pharmacy in November and again in January. But did he really need 23 bottles of Rogaine?
There are two HairDX tests — one which shows if you carry the genes for balding, and one which suggests how sensitive you are to finasteride. The statistics on both of these are not 100%, but HairDX doesn’t provide an actual accuracy percentage that I could find. I don’t have enough experience with HairDX to know how accurate they are first hand, but I would expect they’d be as accurate as possible. There are multiple reasons why accuracy could be skewed, including data collection errors, software errors, and disease.
No, I never did a follow-up to determine if the diameter of gray hair is thicker than non-gray. Sorry about that, but I find that I have too many projects going on to add a study into the mix. I know that’s a poor excuse, but I hope to find the time to do it at some point. I just shouldn’t have put the “few weeks” timetable on it.
I honestly don’t recall anything that would really qualify as a “miracle story” using your criteria of having major hair loss, yet the hair spontaneously regrows without treatment. If someone came in with a lot of
