An older man suffering from psoriasis was treated with a drug called "secukinumab".
An interesting side-effect was observed.
The patient's thinning gray hair grew back with youthful color and appearance (See picture)

Last line of report:
Hair darkening and regrowth after administration of some drugs suggests that hair whitening and thinning caused by the aging process might be reversible.

NOT clicking on your link. I am not going to open myself up to that. The rest of you here can do it but not me. Keep this in mind when you post links. Not everyone will fall to click baits or ad heavy pages.
 
Big pharma (with help from the FDA) is already putting their patent and drug into place. The cost will be $1 million per pill.

It's a once a week shot, and since it's one of the biogenetics, the cost is bout 2600 a month.

What are you talking about? Sciencedirect is a legitimate online host for numerous scientific articles and studies that has been around for like 20 years.
 
I am proud of my gray hair. I earned every one of them.
 
LOL, somebody might want to tell Jeff Bezos to bankroll more research into developing this treatment, which he could personally benefit from.

Anyway, this drug "secukinumab" is sold under the brand name "Cosentyx" and it's also used to treat arthritis:

COSENTYX (secukinumab)

Yeah, but you can just travel to ANY other country and buy that same drug for 40,000% off! As with many other things, we end up sacrificing so that other countries can benefit. Or in the case of the 45 year long cold war, we sacrificed HUGE amounts of national treasure, to fund the military that prevented them from being over-run and forced into a communist dictatorship 'union', where they would've otherwise lost countless citizens in a futile attempt at self defense.

Will it guarantee a more 'natural' color and a 'natural' looking hairstyle? I can think of someone we all know, who is having hair color and style 'issues', who could also afford it at $1,000,000 per pill.....
