Baldiness

Cure for Baldness!

by Bald Man on April 14th, 2006

That’s the headline on this story from the Accra Daily Mail.

Peace Herbal Clinic at Ejisu in the Ejisu-Juaben District of Ashanti has claimed discovery of a herbal preparation that can regenerate hair on baldheads.

The preparation, an ointment, can also remove stretch marks, heal boils, skin cancer, after shave rashes and all other kinds of skin rashes.

It also makes julian fries!

This kills me. An HIV/AIDS researcher in Ghana is making headlines for his hair treatment. I’m hoping this was an accidental discovery, something that he stumbled into while working on the enormous health crisis in his country. That’s the hopeful, optimistic side of me.

The cynical side of me thinks this is just a man out to shill the vulnerable with a new snake oil. From the article:

Mr. Karmar Agyapong, the Executive Director of the Peace Herbal Clinic, disclosed his clinic’s discovery to newsmen in Kumasi.

He said when a bald person applies the ointment he would begin to itch at the bald area, an indication that the hair would grow and that it would take two months for the hair to begin to grow.

I think the cynical diagnosis is the favorite in this match up, but I’ll keep rooting for the underdog.
