It’s the other way around, they have digged it around for many decades. And it always worked on mice, and then failed on humans. Follica was tested on mice. History does tell you. If no one ever tried, you would not know what to expect. If out of hundreds, only 2 made it to the official hair loss market and these two deliver iffy results, then you can learn from that, and approximate a probability of some new treatment that it actually makes it to the market and is significantly better than what we have seen so far.
All that does not mean that follica is going to fail, it just says, that Follica is way more likely to fail and disappoint then to succeed.

One thingy people seem to forget as well about this “probability exercise” - there have been reported instances of regrowth on human beings of human hair after accidents.

Hey, if you know about a study or report or something for this, then could you put it up on the other thread where they’re asking me about proof of it?

Just saw the other thread on it. Unfortunately, couldn’t find any study (googling takes a while); there are zillions of people claiming they know “someone who knows someone” to whom it happened, and thousands who claims it has happened to them (I am one of the tens of thousands of people “in-between” - who saw someone to whom it happened). Has anyone else seen a study/medic report of any kind on this type of regrowth?
