[bug lunch]

All I can remember about this "miracle" baldness cure is that its name
is minoxitin (I think that's how to spell it).  From what I have heard
and read, it really *does* cause hair growth; the problem is that it is
not known what else it does!  About a year ago, I heard on some TV news
magazine that it would be at least a year before it could be used to
treat baldness.  I think drugs like this can only work if the hair
folicles (sp?) are not dead, is that true?
