I hope it works out. My son is losing his hair.

Minoxidil never worked for me, so I hope they’re onto something.

You could try giving your scalp a sugar scrub before washing.

Who cares about that? I have a head full of hair that is so thick, it almost needs it’s own zip code because it sticks up so high on my head each morning.

What I need is for them to solve gray hair!!!! Make a pill for that and it would be worth a Nobel Prize!

BS! For diabetes maybe, but hair? Nah

[Codeflier]

That’s not a cure though! LOL.

If a study came out that said dog poop was a cure for baldness, there would be guys going out and rubbing it on their heads......................

I wonder if Pancake Syrup would work?................🙄

If a study came out that said dog poop was a cure for wrinkles and obesity, but it must be ingested by eating it, there would be gals going out and eating it.

[Dead Corpse]

That would explain...

...er...

Never mind.

I know what it is but just regular sugar is used for wound healing so it could not hurt.

In fact a sugar scrub which stimulates the scalp and removes dead skin would undoubtedly be healthy no matter if you have hair loss or not.

Wad’ya know.

You can buy Deoxy-d ribose at Amazon. Wikipedia says it’s the same as 2-deoxy-D-ribose.
