Alopecia Areata

You may already be aware of the details/publicity in the link below, but just in case I thought I'd post.

I am also a member of Thyroiduk.org but today I was listening to the Radio this morning LBC and it was about a 'cure' for Alopecia.

Apparently they say there is a 'cure' so I'll give the link below and members can summarise what they think of it.

I have had steroid injections in the past but Alopecia Areata returned again.

If you cursor down to the arrow to listen to the video by the Researchers.

I think because it was a Research Team that found this helpful for many. It does take a long time for the mainstream to go along with 'new'' info as there hasn't probably been enough done to see what/if side effects etc could be.

However these are pictures of Dr Angela Christiano who herself had Alopecia. Look at her head of hair now. :)

You're right it was 'other Angela's. In the meantime this might be worthwhile reading. You could contact her at her lab I should think. I am looking to see if is topical rather than swallowing.
