2012 Scientific Research Initiatives into the Post-Finasteride Syndrome - DISCUSSION THREAD

19, congratulations on your qualification. Very well done mate!!! :slight_smile:

thanks for the kind words!

Congratulations 19!

Could the study give us potential treatment to our problem?

maybe

It will lead to a cure, it is Not so far away. Hopefully they will move fast!

Congrats 19! Well done!

I hope that what information the scientist have gleamed shows a causation linking finasteride directly to our disease. Whatever that maybe if it was shown… It would be a destructive blow to Merck right now considering the recent media attention. May lead to the removal of not just finasteride but durastride as well from the market.

Awor, why not use the email newsletter function to update everyone that you are still looking for 2 users in Europe who can be a part of the study (and more people for other studies)? I doubt many people consistently come to the forum and see your updates needing more people…

Not to detract from all work that’s been put in so far but it’s very disappointing the Q3 studies will be indefinately delayed.

Extremely.

I would love to contribute to the nuerosteroid study as I got hit extremely hard by the mental side effects. But can’t afford a trip to Italy at the moment.

stay strong guys … i know it is rough that things do not always run as smoothly or as quickly as we all want, but just remember, we ARE moving in the right direction and it can only get better from here, and awor and his team are working very hard and handling all obsticles that come up the best they can … it cant be easy, but good work is getting done, we have to stay positive, and if we can think of ways to raise some funds, it would speed the process up i am sure … we will get this done as a team, we can do it!

That’s the attitude we need, well said Lennon.“when the world gives your lemons
Make lemonade”

What’s happening with the research fund?

The NPO takes months to set up and it is still in the process. It’s even further complicated by the pending lawsuits.

What is going on with funding? Do we need money? We can collect from the members of this forum!

I hope we can make it trough this with the help of research/studies.

If we want to get faster results - we need money? correct?

Please be patient, things are in progress to support funding. Once ready there will be an announcement.

Setting up a charity in the UK is simple and would take about a week.

In the USA NPOs seem more complicated than elsewhere. For example, if the not-for-profit organisation has only a small amount of donors it has to make the identities of all those donors public. This is the difference between a ‘Public Charity’ and a ‘Private Foundation’.

(Also, if anyone is trying to set up a NPO not operated by people with a personal interest in Finasteride side effects, they should stop wasting time and realise thats impossible.)

This isn’t a not-for-profit organization, this is a non-profit organization. Anyone who donates can see the list of donors.

How is responsible for that? Is there help needed?
