Good to see these guys helping spread the word about Propecia:
Very glad to see a hair loss clinic speaking out against Propecia.
The guys running the clinic must have a conscience and are willing to put patients health over profit.
Just being thinking that this clinic may have spoke out against Propecia because they fear legal action in the future. But what ever their motivations are this is a very positive development. Lets hope other hair loss clinics follow suit.
They are clearly attacking the competition in order to promote their own services. Still, if it helps deter others from using Fin, then they are doing more good than originally intended.
Agreed: Most likely, their finasteride-bashing is a business decision.
But I’ll take it. After all, no one ever developed PFS or similarly devastating symptoms from a hair transplant – or follicle tattoos or whatever it is these guys do.
And if anyone ever WAS permanently harmed by a hair transplant, it was some one-in-a-million case, like an allergic reaction to anesthetic, or an infection.
Every negative report, whether for commercial reasons or not, is a victory. The more negative reports put out there, the greater the chance that another victim won’t be created. If only I hadn’t started losing hair at the same tme as this poison was approved by the FDA. I was young and naive then, believing that it was safe because of this. What a way to learn about the “real world”. The problem with hairloss, and what Merck exploits, is that it is an emotive issue, and this can make “common sense” fly out the window. The fact that there now appears to be a drip drip drip of negative reports will hopefully sway the jury of those still contemplating taking it through unhappiness at their hair loss.
Agreed again. As I keep saying, every voice counts.
What you are all living through is not that different from past periods during which egregious injustices were being perpetrated on various segments of the population, such as:
-Slavery in America during the 18th and 19th centuries
-Concentration camps in Nazi Germany during WWII
-Women’s sufferage, which did not exist in the U.S. until 1920
-Homosexuality among consenting adults, which was a criminal act in the U.S. until 1962, when Illinois became the first state to decriminalize it
-Racial discrimination and segregation against African Americans in the U.S., which was perfectly legal until 1964
And so on, and so on.
So have faith that the heinous crimes against humanity (or at least its customers) that Merck is perpetrating by insisting that finasteride is “safe and effective for its intended use” will go down in history with equal infamy.
It is only a matter of time.
And you can hasten that inevitability by letting your voice be heard among the medical community, the media and the general public.
