use verteporfin in combination with wounding. it works, even for hair loss. thank me later.

Verteporfin is super interesting stuff but this is extremely early research. Still no human trials yet.

From your previous comment: " Feeling very depressed as a 23 year old with agressive hair loss. Tried (and still trying) everything there is, but nothing worked yet (1.5 years into min/dut)."

I think I'm going to pass on medical advice from you.

You can keep stigmatizing depression or balding, luckily Im no more in a position such that statements like yours would affect me adversely. It took 4 months and a bit of experimenting, but vert was able to change it, I just want to raise awareness.

You can read up on "Verteporfin", the patent for cell regeneration (thru "controlled wounding") is already filed by Stanford, pending approval.

I'm not stigmatizing anything.

Then please stop (mis)judging people just because they experienced a depressive episode in their life - this is exactly what that sentence meant, even if not your intent.

Definitely not my intent. I just think that if you are going to spread medical advice like that that maybe you should think twice about it, what works for you will not necessarily work for others and that is a caveat you did not add. 'thank me later' implies a guarantee that it will work.
