    Thanks for sharing. There is actually a very interesting video on youtube about a guy who is using similar supplements and dietary changes to repigment. Definitely worth checking out. He goes through the science of why he made the changes and shows his results after a few months. I have been trying it for a week and am getting some small results. Hope it helps.

    I researched the vitamins that help vitiligo. In addition to folic acid (you say it's combined with your B12), you're taking PABA. PABA is a constituent of folic acid so this addition may not be necessary. Plus folic acid is more beneficial as a whole. My written summary is at http://www.recouleur.com/vitiligo-learning-center/scientific-studie...

     

    Yours truly,

    How has this diet been working for you?

      The diet is going pretty well.. I have noticed a lot of repigmentation taking place on the knees, feet, hands, and face.

    I found a link about foods to avoid and to add to your diet.
    http://www.vitiligos.com/vitiligo-diet/

    Has anyone come across this before?

    After reading some of the postings and comparing it to this link, there is conflicting info on some of the stuff to avoid.

    The posted link suggests tomatoes because it contains Lycopene a good souce of Vit C as well as drinking green tea. Also mangoes are advised for the combination of nutrients provided. It suggests to avoid limes/lemons because the ascorbic acid reduces melanin production.

    I really don't know where "they" got this information from because I cannot find more information on this link. I don't know how reliable the information really is.

    What do you all think??
