    Thanks Sarah :-) and Gemma :-) for your comments.

    So, we "support" the immune system - without "boosting" it ?? :-) Imagine the consequences if we get the wording wrong ??!! :-) My sis has started taking this - for she is a vegetarian. I read the packaging and it says this BOOSTS the immune system. I was going to start on it too - but now I am not sure if I should :-(

      lol! sorry, didn't mean to put you off! I've been eating loads of brazil nuts recently as they have selenium in them, but no change yet (except I really don't like the taste of brazil nuts!!!)

        Hey Gemma :-) On the contrary, I am thankful that you pointed it out :-)

        If you don't like Brasil nuts - look for something else with selenium here - http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=95

        These days I am also "testing" a 94% Aloe Vera gel on my spots. Let's see how it goes :-) I am also thinking of trying a vitamin E cream later on !!!!!

    you can buy it it yucky green liquid form too!! it looks like a good health food, and should be good for vit because of all the B vitamins etc. but also be careful of taking something that boosts/stimulates your immune system. if vit is an autoimmune disorder, then you actually need to suppress the immune system to stop it destroying the melanocytes, right?

      Yeah, something that can boost the immune system is a big NO NO. However, I heard there's a difference between an immune ' booster' and 'supporter' ...we vitiligans need immune 'supporters' , apparently....
      I'm assuming it might be antioxidants like vit E, selenium etc etc.....
