Chinese medicines?

Posted by Hattie Rose on October 17, 2016 at 11:16pm in Main

Hello!

Like most of you on here, I have been trying various different treatments over the year with no success.

I noticed that my local Chinese medicine place claims to treat vitiligo so I am going for a consultation today to see what they have to say.

Has anybody had any success with Eastern treatments or am I wasting my time?

Thanks!

Hattie

    Hi Hattie,

    I am taking some Indian medicines. I am not sure how much those medications contributed in my progression. Actually, I am not sure that those medication had a important role. Much more in my progress was related in healing myself from inside (I had candida overgrowth, serious lack of vitamine B12 - pernicious anemia, celiac and under active thyroid).When I addressed all those issues,I saw improvement. Also I was taking Flavio's recomendations about suplementations, uvb treatments.... 

    I believe in western medicine, but I think that if you want to get a great result, do not expect that healing will come only from chinese medicine :(

    Hi Hattie

    My opinion is:

    There is no short cut.  All these treatments (Chinese, Cuban, Indian, etc.)  have one thing in common: anti-oxidants.  Either in natural,  or  synthetic, or both formats.

    Although oxidation is one of the main vitiligo causes, they only treat the condition from outside, which is a very limited approach.

    It may or may not work, because it is related to one's body's oxidation level.  That's why results vary a lot from person to person.

    If you a planning to try any of them,  please make sure that your body's oxidation level has been minimized, by taking vitamins, anti-oxidants, minerals, life style changes, so on.   Otherwise, it might be a waste of time and money.

    So far, the best approach is to follow a Functional Treatment regimen, since it covers all body's weaknesses.

    Regards.

      Hello,

      Yes, I have been taking various supplements, vitamins, and have substantially improved my diet so any further treatment would be in addition to this. 

      I guess what I really want to know is are any of these alternative treatments actually worth it or are there other just as effective cheaper ways to treat the condition from the outside too? 

      I have heard people talking of functional treatment regimes however I have not had any luck find a functional treatment practitioner in my area that doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Do you know of a particular regime that I can follow that works??

      I fear you are just going to mention everything I'm already doing however!! :( 

      Thanks
