Yale University find arthritis drug fully regrows bald man’s hair?

Anybody knows if this is true? Does anybody know somebody whom have tried it up?:

I have recently read it on the internet, seems that some people from the Yale University have found a very unusual cure for the Alopecia Universalis. The name of the medicine is "TOFACITINIB", and the funny thing is that this medicine was originally created for the arthritis.

Is it true or are we in front of another scam? I am leaving you a link related to this for those of you who want to know more about this. I can't tell if this is true or not, can anybody confirm or deny it?

They want to make a cream with it because it seems that this drug has bad secondary effects. What do you think? is it real?

My dad showed me this post too, but we're still pretty ignorant about the new finding :( hopefully someone can inform us better.

I've read about this too, but thought medicine was called xeljianz.  Maybe it's the same thing.  Rheumatoid arthritis drug that affects immune system.  Can have harsh side effects (only in pill form at the moment).  Also read it's crazy expensive.

Hi Santi,

A friend sent me an email with this news and I breify saw online tooo. Think they need to study it more and wonder what side effects / costs of drug are. Plus how long it lasts, could be like Nixion, Rogain works little than you stop using and comes out again. etc. Is interesting and hopeful.

One side note have friend who's beau has arthritis and she said is super spendy and like chemo...he has be super careful not be around sick people. (Also his hairline is reseeding; so not sure if works for hairloss - whatever he is takin)

How great it would be if this worked!, although as hard as hair loss is, I have experienced having my immune system drop to nothing, due to it being suppressed by drug I was taking because I had an over active Thyroid, I had to stay in hospital, in quarantine, due to having a cold and it making me really ill and not going away, it was very scary and stressful time.I was lucky as soon as I stopped the treatment my immunity built back up and it was before I had to fight off anything more serious than a cold.  I have to agree with Tall Guy, when it comes to immune suppressants, the side effects could be a lot worse than the initial problem.
