I've been doing some research on these methods, and they seem to be very very promising, as well as perhaps permanent ways to stop this genetically driven disorder.  I'm no Doctor, and it's still relatively new, but ''''what if...''' CRISPR-Cas9 (and other closely related methods of gene alteration), could get to the 'root' of this problem and correct it, without using Xeljanz, LDN, Steroids, etc,., I'm absolutely convinced this is the ONLY route to go. I mean, who wants to wake up every freakin' morning rushing to the mirror seeing if there's a bald patch here or there?!? Then, checking every other minute worrying worrying worrying. This is no way to live, and it's not our faults in the first place, but we just want to look like we used to with hair. This shhht gets OLD FAST.  I'm lobbying for biochemists to look into the already isolated gene that causes this dis-ease/disorder, and correlating epigenetics with the CRISPR method to fix this problem. FUNDING and acknowledgement are key.  I'd rather try this method as a permanent solution, so we dont have to even worry about auto-immune alopecia ever again. I'm not an expert on these topics, but I am passionate about finding a PERMANENT SOLUTION to this mess. I mean who wants 1/3rd of their hair back,which turns into 3/4ths, for a few weeks, then wham, 5 bald spots return...bla bla bla...the emotional roller coaster isn't needed, not to mention, the health problems related to Xeljanz, steroids, and others...I'm just wearing a hat and glasses, and i'm ...waiting...patiently..for these two to be mixed together and solve our problems(along with thousands of other dis-eases which are very possible by using G.E.(gene editing/modification).  YouTube "CRISPR-Cas9", and see what I'm talking about. I can't be a guinea pig for Xeljanz just to get some hair back. I fk'n want IT ALL back as well as PERMANENTLY, without ANY fears/paranoia of it falling out from auto-immune induced Alopecia. THEND. THIS, to me, seems like the perfect and only route. Naturally, it will have it's pros and cons. I'm not ignorant to that. But, as you research into this further, you'll see why I feel as strongly about it as I do.
