Vitiligo

by Gemma George
(Canada)

Within the last 7 months some white patches of de-pigmented areas developed on the back of my hands & a couple of spots on my torso. The dermatologist diagnosed this as Vitiligo and prescribed a steroid cream. I have often heard of the side effects of these types of creams and am skeptical about rubbing my skin with this cream. Currently I take 3 medications together to control hypertension. I am in my early sixties.
Can you recommend a natural product as a possible remedy?

Response to Vitiligo

Hi Gemma,

Thank you for contacting me with your question. For our website viewers I will explain that vitiligo is a dermatological, non-contagious condition that is characterized by the appearance of white patches of skin on different parts of the body as a result of the destruction of the cells that make pigment (melanocytes). This can vary from one or two white spots on the skin to large areas of depigmentation.

Although experts believe that this condition can be brought on by trauma to an area, stress or burns (especially UV sunburns), it seems to occur more often among people who have certain autoimmune diseases. For some people, although not for everyone, the depigmentation is progressive.

Many people turn to steroids and other topical drugs along with internally administered pharmaceuticals in the hopes of alleviating this condition. However, there are too many side effects that result from this type of treatment such as nausea and vomiting, itching, abnormal hair growth, hyper-pigmentation. skin shrinkage and skin striae - streaks or lines on the skin.

I am a firm believer in a holistic approach to our health care and I strongly recommend the following to you Gemma:

1) Take our INTESTINAL BOWEL CLEANSER (capule or powder form), twice daily, to remove impacted waste matter and toxic build up as well as assist in cleansing the liver and kidneys. This will greatly help your immune system.

2) Take our GREEN POWERHOUSE (capsule or powder form), several time per day, to provide your body with the widest array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes needed by the body to repair and replenish. This formula also contains the highest amount of chlorophyll which further cleanses every cell as well as promotes healthy cell growth and development.

3) Apply our Hand & Body TheraCream to the areas effected with the vitiligo to help the skin to exfoliate 7 layers deep as well as add necessary moisture to your skin cells. Keeping this process in strong working order is very important.

For emphasis, I'll say again that it is very important that you do whatever you can to build your immune system. Without a healthy, strong and vital immune system, we are often plagued by so many different maladies in life.

Please keep me posted as you begin your regimen.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
