Have Scientists Accidentally Discovered The Cure For Hair loss?

March 2007 --
Research scientists may have stumbled onto the answer to something that has frustrated mankind for centuries.
Their discovery was made while applying a synthetically formulated compound, Copper Peptide, to severe wound areas on several patients. During this process something unusual happened.
Not only did the wounds
heal about 30 percent faster, but a significant stimulation of the
follicular cells occurred. As a side effect, these tripeptide complexes
actually grew hair around the wound area.
The discovery was so startling that they then applied the same Copper
Peptide complex to a female patient who had suffered roughly 90 percent
alopecia or, hair loss, for years. After about six months of use, she
had recovered almost 100 percent of her hair.
Tests were then conducted with chemotherapy patients and recent hair
transplant recipients, all with great success in stimulating newer and
stronger hair follicles. The implications of such a startling discovery
have gotten the attention of several large companies. Neutrogena,
Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Dow Chemical are just a few of
the big companies that have shown interest in copper peptides.
The discovery could have major implications in the somewhat shady area
of the hair growth industry. There are many products that promise
amazing results but they usually fail to deliver.
Most have some sort of DHT inhibitor with traces of Minoxidil so they
can claim Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. There is one
company that has been able to take advantage of this and manufacture for
the public. Everest R & D Labs, located in California's Simi Valley.
Incredible advancements in the manufacturing process of Copper Peptide
technology are bringing even better results in hair re-growth than the
original tests. Some people providing the company with feedback are
offering amazing stories, with positive side effects that include the
reduction of acne and psoriasis. There have been many reports from both
men and women. Reports from women include statements that their graying
hair is regaining some of its original pigmentation.
This product has been integrated into a therapeutic shampoo and
conditioner called Follipro
As more and more corroborating evidence from research universities around the country become available, the posibilities for this new technology could be far-reaching.
