This is a picture of my DNA analysis done through 23andme and downloaded to promethease. As you can see vitiligo it's in your DNA (mutated genes) and will not change with superficial creams and other superficial treatments that only treat the skin an nothing else. Please stop wasting your money and have the test done on yourself. Download raw data to sites such as promethease, nutrahacker, livewello,yasko methylation, genetic knot and athletigen. Once you know what's wrong with you there's a list of foods and supplements to take and which to avoid according to your mutations. Through food your genes and proper care of your body your genes can turn on or off, it's not all set on stone..this is the science known as nutrigenomics. If anyone else have done this test and vitiligo was there..let me know..

Why was this 23and Me DNA test banned in the USA??
The case of Google. (One of the founders of 23andMe, Anne Wojcicki, is presently married to Sergei Brin, the founder of Google.) When it first launched, Google billed itself as a faithful servant of the consumer, a company devoted only to building the best tool to help us satisfy our cravings for information on the web. And Google’s search engine did just that. But as we now know, the fundamental purpose of the company wasn’t to help us search, but to hoard information. Every search query entered into its computers is stored indefinitely. Joined with information gleaned from cookies that Google plants in our browsers, along with personally identifiable data that dribbles from our computer hardware and from our networks, and with the amazing volumes of information that we always seem willing to share with perfect strangers—even corporate ones—that data store has become Google’s real asset. By parceling out that information to help advertisers target you, with or without your consent, Google makes more than $10 billion every quarter.
For 23andMe’s Personal Genome Service is much more than a medical device; it is a one-way portal into a world where corporations have access to the innermost contents of your cells and where insurers and pharmaceutical firms and marketers might know more about your body than you know yourself. And as 23andMe warns on its website, “Genetic Information that you share with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about sharing your Genetic Information with others.”
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by uploading raw data. please explain. I would have thought vitiligo would appear in 23andme analysis.
I have always been skeptical about using 23andme, i have heard they use the dna for their own purposes. Anyway i will think about doing it.
Thanks for this approach. I personally call it *Primary vitiligo cause*, and I believe we can only avoid the *Secondary vitiligo causes", which I describe at www.vitiligomap.com.
When you say:
"Once you know what's wrong with you there's a list of foods and supplements to take and which to avoid according to your mutations",
Who does in fact provide this list ? The lab? Promethease? A Doctor?
Please let me know.
have you started working on diet and supplements?
Interesting...This make sense
I have done this too. But I haven't seen the vitiligo since I didn't upload raw data to promethease. Thanks for posting this, this is interesting and I think I'm gonna check the other sites you have listed. I did find that I had a mutation that affected my ability to methylate B12, which is very important as I am sure you know. I started taking extra methyl B12 immediately because of this test. I have since stopped my vitiligo through diet and supplements and I am now getting my pigment back. So what you say is absolutely correct.
