Yes, I'm a derm doc. The way I heard about Procyte was that I have worked in the same area of research ( metal peptides, free radicals, etc. ) for a long while. For complicated reasons, I won't comment on their products as hair-growth stimulating agents except to say that this whole class of compounds has such. Even Procter and Gamble has a US Patent on a hair-growth-stimulating peptide ( His-lys-lys ) only an aminoacid or so away from Trichomin..

Healing of chronic wounds is a big problem. I've heard estimates of a market size of a billion $ or so. Their Iamin gel (TM ) really does enhance wound healing. These agents are also antiinflammatory without being immunosupresive.or _impeding_ wound healing ( unlike topical corticosteroids, which is all we've got right now. ). So, I tried Iamin gel on one patient who had a reaction to the metal in an earing post. Her earing hole had to be redone because the agent caused to to close up. Made a believer out of me <G>. Their stuff does work.

Admittedly, the four million extorted by the attorneys didn't help much.. Us docs are traditionally poor in bidness, but I think if the company can hang on long enough to get some of their stuff marketed, they may be a winner..
