This is an article that has just been tweeted to me and I think its worthy sharing with the vitiligo family.
“Do I have any chance to get re-pigmentation?” Some of you might be having a deja-vu while reading this, whereas, others may have a negative response to this question. The above question is one of the most inquired statements by Vitiligo patients. However, it can not be simply answered as yes or no.
Dermatologists mostly refer Vitiligo as an inconsequential cosmetic condition but it is much more than that for patients suffering from it. Vitiligo is a well discussed disease however, not much effort was made in its treatment earlier.
This disease not only affects a person’s outlook but it also has a great psychological impact. Scientists have little information about the disease which is not enough to discover a permanent Cure.
Autoimmune disease and Vitiligo are closely related, and a lot has been said about it. Some researchers state that it is the overactive reaction of immune system that damages Melanocytes leading to white patches on the skin. While others believe that Melanocytes expire by themselves. However, no one is able to justify their theory yet; as Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition, having peculiar characteristics. Thus every patient has a different case history with very few similar symptoms; this is why dermatologists are unable to make much progress about the disease.
This close relation shared by Vitiligo and Autoimmune disease has given birth to the idea of using Corticosteroids and Immuno-modulators as treatment for this disease. Scientists also advise patients to go for Gluten free diet.
Gluten is mostly found in food processed with wheat and correlated species. Gluten free diet is a medically recommended treatment for Celiac disease and such autoimmune conditions. Though scientific confirmation for Gluten free diet as Vitiligo treatment is anecdotal, but since a Vitiligo cure is long-awaited; thus most Vitiligo patients with a general attitude that “it might help” and “can’t hurt” have been experimenting with this diet. A number of patients have claimed a significant improvement in skin condition after taking up the diet. Especially patients suffering from Vitiligo and Celiac disease at the same time have been best benefited from this treatment.
Another therapy which has sparked great interest among the Vitiligo people is herbal treatment. Herbal treatment, also famed as a Natural Treatment for Vitiligo, is an effective remedy for attaining re-pigmentation. Many of the online reports indicate that herbs are helpful to regain normal skin color. Although not every patient have attained same amount of re-pigmentation but visible changes have been experienced by almost every consumer.

is melanotan or scenesse going to help us vitiligo patients?
ReplyDeleteHi, I went gluten free for other reasons after finding out I was gluten intolerant. I felt better right away, my depression cured, no more headaches, no more fibromyalgia, allergies gone,gain energy and stamina, lost 30 pounds, and after about a year I started repigmenting like crazy. I had vitiligo for more than 40 years, they tell you the melanocytes are dead, they are not!
ReplyDeleteAfter removing gluten the autoinmmune response stops,allowing the body to repigment.
I took many supplements like Vit.D, B-12, folic acid,good fats like coconut oil,etc, to help my body heal the damage done by gluten. That probably helped as well.
I had vitiligo for 8 years now and I had tried different treatments (PUVA, topical steroid, meladinine cream/solution with exposure to sunlight/PUVA, oral meladinine, oil of bergamot). The vitiligo covered my neck, and one-fourth of my face. I looked for another dermatologist because i lost hope with my past dermatologists. Then somebody recommended me a good natural treatment and it worked very well. Now i'm 90% cured. With only 1 1/2 month of treatment. Watch this review, it helped me a lot: naturalvitiligotreatmentsystems.com

Common Skin Disorder Vitiligo
I used to have vitiligo all over my body and although I accept the reasons to not want to get rid of it but personally it was something I wanted to do. I tried a million creams & supplements but nothing ever really did anything for me but I was actually able to dramatically reduce my vitiligo after browsing online and trying different methods. The 3 things that worked for me (do them all):
ReplyDelete1. Mix Turmeric Powder And Mustard Oil. This stuff works amazing by just mixing the oil with the powder, applying to the affected skin and leaving it for about 15mins before drying it off. Repeat daily or more.
2. Drink water stored in a copper utensil. This will help in increasing the production of melanin in your body and your skin will show reduced whiteness.
3. Follow every step in the free video & in the guide seen at solvehealthproblem.com/vitiligo to get to the root of the problem naturally.
Try my advice and hopefully you will get as much luck with getting rid of your vitiligo as i did :)
