Hi All,  I had posted that in another discussion, but I realized later this topic should be more emphasized.  That's why I decided to upgrade that to a new specific discussion.

I created this post, because despite it's so difficult to set up an appointment with Dr.Shallreuter, it's so easy to follow her Dead Sea treatment. You definitely don't need to see her to do the Dead Sea treatment.  You can do the same treatment as she does, at the same hotel, during 3 WEEKS, like this:

1- Book online the following hotel: http://www.booking.com/hotel/jo/dead-sea-spa.pt-pt.html?sid=fd23111...

2- Buy a ticket to Jordan.  Usually you don't need a previous Visa, but you will have to pay for a Visa as soon as you get to the airport.

3-Then you rent a car at the airport and go to Dead Sea resort area.  It's like one hour drive at most.

4-Take your pseudocatalase cream to the hotel.  They don't sell it there.  Goto http://www.vitiligomap.com/pseudo.html and make it.

5- Everyday you have to wake up 7AM and have breakfast.

6- Take a 15 minute bath at the Dead Sea.  Dr.Schallreuter suggests to use a indoor pool (with Dead Sea water) but I don't recommend it since they don't change this water frequently.

7- After the bath,  take a shower with regular water,  get dried and pass pseudocatalase cream on the white patches. 

8-Right after, take a sun bath (still earlier than 9AM). Expose the white spots for 5 to 15 minutes each to the sun. Total time (all patches) can NOT be longer than 60 minutes.  Dr.Schallreuter suggests to do it naked in a solarium, but you can do  not naked on the beach.

9- Repeat  #6, #7 and #8 at 4:30PM.

10-If you have an UVB-NB equipment, take it to the hotel. Before bed, pass the cream for the third time and expose each patch to 300 milijoules (0.3J) of UVB-NB (short time). For example, if you have a 9W Philips bulb, it irradiates 1,13mw. So, you have to expose the patches for 300 / 1,13 = 265 seconds (each).

For face patches, start with 30 seconds at most and see 12 hours later if the patch has got a little bit pink.  If not,  increase exposure time in 10 seconds.

11-If you have an UVB-NB equipment, also take an European outlet adapter since the American outlet jack is strait and the Jordan (European style) is rounded.  The AC power in Jordan is 220VAC.  So, if you have a 110VAC UVB-NB equipment, there is  just one 110VAC outlet in the bathroom.  You will need additionally to the adapter, also an extension cord.

12- After 3 weeks,  you will definitely see some improvement.

13-I also suggest you to take anti-oxidant pills: Alpha Lipoic  Acid,  L-Methionine and L-Cysteine (or NAC).

14- Don't  go to the swiming pools, since they have chlorine.

15- Get AWAY from the sun between 10AM and 4:30PM.

Good Luck!
