Interview With Dr Ilona Schreck-Purola Reprinted From The Body Forum Magazine Ritua Ilona Schreck-Purola, MD, is the Assistant Pathologist at the First Department of Pathology, University of Helsinki, Finland. She has collaborated in and co-authored with Professor Kai Setala in the publication of a number of clinical and experimental research projects. BODY FORUM: How did your interest in hair loss problems first originate? DR PUROLA: My interest in this field awoke when I was asked to give lessons in a hair cosmetic school. They needed a doctor there, and I was invited. BODY FORUM: You mean you were to lecture about hair and scalp skin disorders? DR PUROLA: Yes, at that time, I had to read everything that I found about hair problems. So I had the background in addition to my own hair problems, and I began to think, what could be done. BODY FORUM: What is the actual cause of hair loss? DR PUROLA: There are so many different causes and you can read about them in every medical book. BODY FORUM: One Of the main points of the Bio-Genesis as I understand, is synthesizing excessive amounts of cholesterol on the scalp skin. DR PUROLA: Yes, but that's not the only point. It's such a complex problem. You need cholesterol for your skin; it's absolutely necessary for the skin health, but the excess of cholesterol, androgens and special metabolites is dangerous and can cause hair-loss leading to baldness. BODY FORUM: The formula then removes the excess of cholesterol? DR PUROLA: Yes it does, and most effectively. BODY FORUM: And it activated the hair cells and increases the cell division? DR PUROLA: Yes. By removing the excessive cholesterol, Bio-Genesis stimulates the division of hair cells and this of course results in new growth. Studies on humans have shown that the hair follicle, in many cases, reactivated and regenerated in areas of the scalp completely bald for as long as 20 years. BODY FORUM: Can you describe the most recent clinical tests you conducted, and the results of those studies? DR PUROLA: Professor Setala conducted these clinical tests at the University ( Helsinki ) and the results were overwhelmingly positive. The people coming to him took part in the histoquantitative study; which means that he took scalp biopsies of all his patients at various intervals throughout the test and analyzed them microscopically. BODY FORUM: How long does the Bio-Genesis treatment take before results are seen? DR PUROLA: People have to use it for six to eight weeks at least, in some cases even six months. And Bio-Genesis must be used on a daily basis. BODY FORUM: Can anyone with hair problems and hair-loss problems use your formula and be completely helped? DR PUROLA: Most people can be helped with Bio-Genesis. Our studies prove Bio-Genesis to be equally as effective for women as it is for men. BODY FORUM: It cannot help everybody, maybe 60% to 80%? DR PUROLA: Yes, that's right. The results vary from study to study of course, but always within the 60% to 80% rate of success. Bio-Genesis is combating the cause of pattern baldness, sometimes called hereditary baldness. If baldness tends to run in the family, then a person would be well advised to begin the Bio-Genesis treatments at the first sign of excessive hair-loss. This holds true for women as much as for men. Female hair-loss is a big problem today and on the increase every year. BODY FORUM: Bio-Genesis is absolutely non-toxic? DR PUROLA: The safety tests performed have proved that no side effects occur, unless you are an extremely sensitive person. BODY FORUM: How does the excessive cholesterol work on the scalp? DR PUROLA: It prohibits most cell division; the cells harden or rigidify and cannot grow properly. BODY FORUM: They become so hard that they do not divide? DR PUROLA: Yes. BODY FORUM: In Bio-Genesis, what is removing the cholesterol - the polyoil-fatty acid ester? DR PUROLA: Yes, it dissolves the excessive cholesterol, so that it will not inhibit hair growth. BODY FORUM: What do you foresee for the future in your discovery? No more baldness in the world? DR PUROLA: ( Laughter ) That would be nice. BODY FORUM: How good are your results with the hair treatment in Europe and Canada, where people have used your treatment for a number of years? DR PUROLA: I must say that the results are overwhelming, in many cases, even unbelievable. Clinics report between 60% and 78% rates of success. BODY FORUM: How many people do you estimate use the hair formula? DR PUROLA: I think altogether more than half a million people. BODY FORUM: Is there anyting you would like to add to this discussion? What should people with scalp problems do? Is it harmful to wash the hair every day? DR PUROLA: Yes, it is, if they use the wrong shampoo. BODY FORUM: You mean it is very important to use the right shampoo? DR PUROLA: Yes, really. When composing a shampoo one has to avoid long-chained carbon atoms which cause unfavorable effects on the skin cells and substances which are known to inhibit the cell division. For instance, cholesterol, lanolin and some preservatives. Furthermore, a shampoo should contain no alkalai and have the right pH level. BODY FORUM: So that means the Bio-Genesis shampoo, because it does not contain such substances, is supporting the effect of the Bio-Genesis Lotion formula? DR PUROLA: Exactly. Dr Setala and I formulated the Bio-Genesis Special Cleansing Shampoo to complement the action of Bio-Genesis Lotion. Together they produce the best results. If either is used without the other, the results will not be as great. Science's Answer To Hair Loss © 1980 CosVetic & Head Start ® |
