The blood group, and the sugars on the surface of the cells can effect the way Vit spreading.
it is not only Melanocytes that make pigmentations, so what other things get damaged by our Immune system ie its not only the melanocytes get damaged by our own antibodies.
virus and antibiotics can interfer in the DNA synthesis to give a wrong signal to the white cells ( T helper cell) to produce a wrong antibody which eventually attacks our on body.
Has anyone born with vitiligo? may be with the gene ? in this case everyone has got a cancer gene but why everyone hasnt got cancer?
its all environmental factors then into genes, once you carry the gene, you can be a silent carrier or not even vitaly passing the gene.

Hey people with vitiligo are less likely to develop skin cancer . I recently watched a documentary that made it clear to me. Basically the autoimmunity and caner are the most basic human functions gone wrong.One is to create cells and the other is to destroy cells. Because our bodies are more likely to destroy pigmentation cells we are less likely to develop cancer.
That is why things that are considered as cancerous are used to treat vitiligo ;-)
and blood from people with vitiligo is used to help slow down skin cancer ...
“and blood from people with vitiligo is used to help slow down skin cancer...”
This doesn’t sound serious to me. Do you have any link for this info?
Dear venko it is only about one common type of skin cancer called Melanoma..I don`t know how to post PDF file here. If U R interested to read it .write ur mail and I can send it to you.
@kalvin.thanks for interestin post....there are some who get born with vitiligo. What makes you think blood group can affect vit, I think vit is common for all blood types.
It is very strange with all the reaserch going on all over the world ..still they couldn`t find the main underlying cause there is no 100% proof if the reason is with melanocyte ,certanocytes ,the pathway or the signal receptors ..there must be some failer in one of the above.
Some study show that melanocytes are not destroyed but just dormant ..that is why we repigment with some treatments , soon we are going to hear some good news once they found which gene is a factor it is easier to find a reliable treatment even a possible cure.

Here is the link from Vitiligo Socity

Vitiligo; skin cancer
yes what you saying is right, but we uesed to eat for having vit but new research shows that is the best to eat for your blood type, eat right for your blood type can reduce the loss of melanocyte ( slow the progression of white patches)
thanks
Dear kalvin ..I have heard about eating right after you blood type helps to loose weight...but I never read any reaserch showing eating after blood type reduce loss of melanocyte ..can you please post the article you read from.
Thank you for the info.
