Press Release Body = PHILADELPHIA, PA-July 1, 2007--A unique hair treatment product, originally tested in Germany for cancer patients who lost their hair due to chemotherapy, has recently been introduced in the USA, and may bring new hope to men and women suffering hair loss.
ThymuSkin, a shampoo treatment that helps to grow new hair and assists in the prevention of baldness has an active ingredient derived from thymus gland of a calf. Its effectiveness in restoring the loss of hair in cancer patients in Germany was so successful it was tested on other forms of baldness, and was found to be just as effective.
Pamela Dortone, Manager for ThymuSkin said, \"The results of the testing performed in Germany astounded researchers. The product was 86 percent effective on alopecia areata patients, 95 percent effective for female pattern baldness, and 67 percent effective for male pattern baldness.\" Dortone also said that the unique hair products are sold over the counter at some health food stores or are easily purchased by visiting their website at http://www.thymuskinshampoo.com
Unlike other hair growth products, such as Rogaine and Propecia, once ThymuSkin establishes new hair growth, one can discontinue use without losing the newly grown hair. \"We have customers who have reported new hair growth as early as three weeks,\" Dortone said.
During the testing phase at the University of Munich on cancer patients, some received a placebo, while other patients used the ThymuSkin treatment. \"The results were amazing as the ThymuSkin treated patients grew hair in exceedingly large quantities within three months,\" said Dr. Morton Walker, a podiatrist, author of the book, Bald No More.
Walker was invited by the University of Munich to investigate studies conducted by numerous universities in Germany on the production of a thymus gland extract from a calf called ThymuSkin, a product nine physicians developed primarily for cancer patients who were subjected to hair loss because of chemotherapy treatments. When the product was rubbed on a patient\'s scalp before a chemotherapeutic agent was taken, there was no hair fallout, and hair loss was kept at a minimum. It was soon discovered by the researchers that ThymuSkin was very effective against rare types of hair loss and scalp disorders. ThymuSkin was declared a treatment for the regrowth of hair.
Dr. Walker has long been recognized as the world\'s leading medical journalist specializing in holistic medicines. He has authored 64 published books, and more than 1600 magazine, newspaper and clinical journal articles.
