I heard baylor still needs 10 men. What the fuck…
Bump
Shit, we need to get on this and do something… any ideas? Wonder if Baylor are advertising locally?
Last I heard they only needed men who took it but didn’t get PFS. Would be quite ironic if we fell short on that.
That was for harvard.
Bump
I thought Baylor was full. That’s why we stopped trying to round people up?
Can someone with credible info please clarify?
They still need participants.
I thought Harvard was full for all categories, and Baylor was requiring more participants for all categories.
Anymore info?
We need to do something…
Bump.

They still need 10 men. Wtf why US guys dont participate?
I guess so few people actually have PFS that they cant even get this study done.
Yes, that’s right, one of the world’s best universities has decided to spend its time on this for nothing.
Its cost prohibitive unless your insurance covers it…that’s why they have trouble finding participants.
Oscar - still waiting to get you on the PFS Podcast…since you won’t come on, you must not have PFS…
Depressedguy where did you get the number 10 from
Haven’t you and others (like Gelhead) posted numerous times that the foundation will pay for it? Is that wrong?
Oh, well, now I’ll definitely go on!
And they know the numbers effected by PFS how?
Whatever the reason; this process is too slow. I would prefer a ‘brute force’ approach. Get a few guys together that are 100% certain to have PFS and bombard them with tests. (I would like tests for demylination, antibodies to DHT, 5a-reductase, etc).
Hi all,
I think we are all agreed that the tests are important and we need to get participants for them asap.
Can anyone clarify about the offer of payment? And has anyone spoken to the Foundation, or people connected to the study, about how we can help get participants? For example, I’m happy to help contribute towards people’s costs if this is an issue.
Thanks,
Davey
When do you want to come on?
Very wooly. ‘A few guys’? Come on. A definite number needs to be picked.
‘100% certain to have PFS’? Yes, and presumably you will be appointed as the person who identifies who does or does not have PFS.
‘bombard them with tests’? Right, let’s speculatively spend loads of money on an unknown quantity of men with tests selected without particular reason, so that results can be obtained by ‘brute force’.
This is why the studies are in the hands of paid researchers rather than armchair chancers posting waffle on a forum.
