Can conclusion of the results be made after 20 days when the effects of minoxidil are seen after a few months? Or is this one of those rosemary-esque studies?

I'm no scientist / biologist and I'd like for this sugar to save my hair. (It recently started to fall and I've been researching on what can be done to save it.) If true, this would be a considerably cheaper way to tackle androgenic alopecia for most of the world.

Also, anyone try aminexil?
