Yeah hair is a real good trigger: chthonic, potent (or seen as loss of potency in this case of baldness by our culture, except for the fringe factor who find baldness sexy and daring or in your face) and hair is deeply magical as well as a source & depository of vanity, feelings of inferiority/superiority, ageism, hatred, religious fanaticism, repression (hair which must be covered ie: wigs or veils). Hair has been fettishized forever and is a source of projection (Freudian) and protection.
I recently was discussing a technique a visiting healer used to help people access soul issues that needed to be healed by placing hands on the head and neck, and a therapist I was speaking with, who also attended the same demonstration was quite cynical about this procedure, stating that anyone can elicit stuff from people if they touch their heads, "why do you think everyone tells everything to their hairdresser?" they asked me... So, it seems to me, that even discussions about hair can send signals, create emotional responses and in general be a trigger for much repressed sexuality, cultural standards, economic indicators, etc. And as for money, well we know how high a regard and how fettishized that is in our culture. However, just for the record, I certainly don't disparage anyone creating material wealth for themselves through bd work. We do live in a market economy. I simply found the advert tickling my funny bone. Glen Atkinson has been making homeopathic versions of the preps for human consumption for a while now. Maybe he can speak to this idea of preps to grow hair. In the meantime, the image of a balding, hair thinned person with little fine hairs suddenly growing like an early crop of spring grass is a not very nice image first thing in the morning. Give me a bald man anytime. And btw, based on the pharmaceutical industry ads, you should be targeting baby boomer females too with your hairspray, Greg...

Chill out. Non-chemically resoring life to the hairline is a hell of a step forward. And if he makes a ton, maybe he can underwrite some real alternative Ag research.
