Find a good lawyer, patent your product, then sell and make billions.  Obviously there is a large and never ending market for this product.  I’ll be the first in line.  Smiley

I have very little I can add to this. Dutasteride can also be used instead of finasteride, and there are a couple of other 5α-reductase inhibitors such as alfatradiol which can be used. All suffer from the same drawbacks - not that effective, mostly slow things down rather than reverse anything, hair loss returns as soon as treatment stops, loaded with side effects.

As you say, finding a cure for yourself means nothing to the population at large. It could be that your hair loss was due to a biotin deficiency, leading you to think that baker's yeast cures baldness. Or as philipma1957 has discovered, hair loss can be a side effect of diabetes or prediabetes, and controlling your blood sugar can reverse it. You'll need to run a randomized control trial before anyone will take you seriously.

Propecia should never be taken , it can cause permanent health effects on your body.  Brain damage and permanent erection problems, is it really worth the risk?

I don't think enough people care, its not a health issue.  Hair are just dead proteins, they don't provide health to your body.

When the younger generation start to experience (it's becoming very common) it way before seniority, the demand for the cure grows.

You could dismiss hairs as dead proteins, but unhealthy lifestyles tend to underlie the balding.

Obviously a bot.  Smiley

Happened to stumble upon a cure for hair loss during my research.  How do you guys suggest I go about selling this and what price points I should set?  Do you believe people care enough about male pattern baldness that this will be worth selling?

Find a large law firm.  After they validate your claim they will front you all the money you want.  Smiley

Along the same lines as the op I discovered significant hair growth for my self and my hair is less gray then it was.

But this was due to having untreated high blood sugar  which  caused some hair loss and some graying.

When I went on a keto diet  my a1c was reduced from 12.1  to 7.1  with no meds.  Just tons of protein and very little carbs.

My hair growth increased and my hair is more brown then gray.  It used to be more gray then brown.

The keto diet is not for everyone  and you may not get my results.


But if you find you have a lousy a1c number  you could give keto diet a shot with a doctor's supervision

Eh....yeah.  To answer your question, yes there is definitely a market for a baldness cure.  There are only two medications that I know of on the market for hair loss (minoxidil and finasteride), both of which aren't completely effective and have lots of side effects.  

I'm openly doubting you, however.  And without more information about what you claim, I'm going to remain skeptical in the extreme.  I also find it odd that you'd announce this on bitcointalk instead of, you know, talking to a patent lawyer or something like that.  

Edit:

Along the same lines as the op I discovered significant hair growth for my self and my hair is less gray then it was.

I don't doubt what you say, but what you did isn't a controlled study, nor would it seem to be applicable to people who don't have high A1C or don't need or can't tolerate the keto diet.  What OP seems to be claiming is a general cure for baldness, which would be a nice breakthrough in medicine as far as I'm concerned.  There hasn't been much progress in that area in a long time that I know of, though I've been out of the field of pharmaceuticals for a while.  I try to keep up with new stuff, though, and I haven't read about any new baldness treatments. 

Maybe o_e_l_e_o knows more about this.
