Cure might be closer than we think...

Recently a friend of mine let me know about a new vitiligo cure research. When I started reading about it, I realized that the Doctor's theory answers most of the doubts, if not all of them.

Before checking it out, be prepared to break paradigms, since he states that the main cause of non-segmental vitiligo is not the immune system, but friction (physical stress).

My son is 13 years old and he has vitiligo since 9. I have taken him to most of the medical specialties in order to find all the vitiligo puzzle pieces, but it seems that I'm not going to get anywhere.

I also had a chance to speak with Doctor Matteo Bondignon (researcher) and I would like to share with you, but check out links above first...

I said:

"We all know that vitiligo is a symptom of something wrong from inside. I've been working hard to find the right diet and supplementation for my son. I've been also taking him to an UVB-NB phototherapy treatment. We did all the allergy tests, we treated dysbiosis, we checked thyroid and emotional stress. I reduced the oxidative streess as much as I could.

But since my son loves soccer and guitar, his hands and feet have most of his vitiligo, which has been spreading. It seems to be caused by the friction (physical stress).

Instead of removing MIA, what can we do to make the melanocyte adhesion stronger?

What should I supplement my son to give melanocyte better resistence against MIA?

I think that would be the right solution, since it would focus the cause, not the effect.

His answer:

"As for my studies, there is not currently any linkage from something inside us and the development of vitiligo.

Everything start from the MIA protein and as you say friction is one of the most causative element.

It is not possible to make the adhesion molecoles stronger because this strongness is genetically provided. That 's why the only way to cure definitively vitiligo is to eliminate or anyway to rend inoffensive the MIA protein.

We are working hard on this and I hope that soon your son can get his skin of one color.

Thanks for your support and please help us to share the knowledge about the MIA protein and the new hope for all the patients suffering from vitiligo."

Friends, what do you think about it?

Even if they do manage to come up with something that stops the spread of Vitiligo. What are the chances of gaining pigment back in those patches? Wouldn't that be twice as hard.

  That's a good question. However, melanocytes can be easily stimulated or re-implanted (from hair for example). The problem is that if you don't remove MIA protein, they will never survive. They will never migrate to the patch area.
  
  So, first thing is removing MIA. Avoiding trauma (friction, injuries, etc.) is also a good deal.

    thanks for the info. Hopefully something is available soon from this research.

Flavio thanks for sticking to real science, one question always swim in my mind.
the lack of color is not actually the white color. white color doesn't equal no color.

who/what controls the white color we see on our bodies effected by vitiligo ? can we play with those factors ? can we tune it to more "acceptable" level

  That's a good point. Anyway, it's like gray hair...
  
  A good alternative to moderate contrast is avoiding sun burn and taking betacarotene.

    Now. Wat is this betacarotene...??and y shd we take it??
    - Robot > anitha August 17, 2014 at 3:17am
      
      It's a form of vitamin A. It's better if contains a mix of carotenoids, like:
      
      Beta Carotene
      
      Alpha Carotene
      
      Critoxanthin
      
      Zeaxanthin
      
      Lutein

What is MIA protein you all are talking about?
- Robot > Joyce OB August 15, 2014 at 4:23am
  
  To remove MIA, the researcher is developing a peptide that renders MIA. With that, there will be no melanocyte detachmen anymore, despite the weak molecule adhesion of the vitiligo sufferer's DNA.

    About 6 month ago ,they say in about 2 years they will come With a medicine which is in acrem form..If they do proper clinical approvment and come out after year and half .we will be happy...I think the clinical test take several years...Flavio do you know the letest uppdate when they assume to finish the test?
