Hair Loss Cure Consipiracy Theories

Hi,

I realize you’re dismissive of “conspiracy” type plots, that companies like Pfizer and Merck would buy off and suppress results from genetic and other advances in hair restoration in order to insure their profits from Propecia and Rogaine. But from your position, are there any indications that this really wouldn’t be the case? It seems like these companies could just buy out the labs that are developing hair regneration techniques, and just file away the results. After all, if people suffering hair loss can get a 1-2 visit multiplication procedure and be cured, that does mean the end of: Rogaine, Propecia, and traditional hair transplants. So, if you have any reassurances that this is just the stuff of silly theories, it would be great to hear that.

Thanks

Silly theory, indeed. If I was Merck or Pfizer or if there was a lab that has found the cure for hair loss, I would buy the company or the proprietary rights to market and sell it for as much as I can get. Then I will take my billions and buy out Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and pay for the U.S bailout with the leftover residuals. I love a good conspiracy theory, but if a drug company had a cure to hair loss, they could charge practically whatever they want and take over the entire market… and I don’t think a big pharma company (with investors to keep happy) would pass up that opportunity.
