Ya'll know this is an allergy, right?

Posted by teh ben on February 12, 2014 at 5:15am in Main

We just need to find the trigger which is most likely environmental or in our food... who wants to investigate?

by the way stress is a symptom-not a cause


another by the way- take omega 3 every day, lots of omega 3. (3-5 grams a day if your ldl isnt high)

more supplements for allergies: yes this is an autoimmune a l l e r g y

i take zinc(for acne), chlorela, GLA, B+C complex, omega 3 and i've seen some improvement- some
re-pigmentation (very slowly tho)

in general to see results you need to eat healthy, no getting away with that!

    Have you tried protopic or any other topical cream for vitiligo? Mixing cream treatment with supplements, staying stress free, gluten free diet has helped some people.
    Comments????

      There is nothing which helps every one..I have tried all possible treatments and know ppl who try all known treatments every treatment helps only for some  People in some degree.

      You have to keep on trying til you get one which Works for you.

        Bamsegutt is totally right. He is probably the most experienced person in this Forum, regarding Vitiligo.

        On the other hand, if you can follow gluten-free and dairy-free diet, it would be a good try.  At least for 3 months.

        Protopic is usually good for face.

        Elidel and Halobetasol Propionate 0.05% is reasonable for the other parts (except face).

        UVB-NB phototherapy session 2x a week is an excellent try.

        Basic daily supplementation is:  

        Vit E 400IU

        Vit B12 500mcg

        Folate 400mcg

        Alpha Lipoic Acid 150mg

        N- Acetyl Cysteine 600mg

        L-methionine 350mg

        Fish oil (Omega 3 only)

        Probiotics (good one. e.g. by Metagenics)

        Zinc 15mg

        Copper 2mg

        Selenium 80mcg

        Green juice (green apple,  kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, and broccoli)

        Avoid Vit C supplementation

        Avoid taking anything that you don't exactly know what is.

        Avoid supplementation fillers like magnesium stereate and titanium dioxide.  Try to buy from GNC,  Pure Encapsulations and Dr. Mercola.

    To add to this. When you take your omega fatty acids,use bile salts and lecithin to help absorb it also lipase enzymes. Promote stomach acid by using apple cider vinegar with all meals or maybe betaine hcl. Help restore beneficial bacteria in your gi tract by eating cultured veggies and taking atleast 80 billion units of multi strain probiotic supplements. Heal the gut with bone broth and use l glutamine. Bone soup sounds weird but its one of the healthiest things one can consume it is super healing to the digestive system aswell. Build up glutathione production because we are low builders. (Bodies master antioxidant which your body makes) Glutathione is made up of a tri peptide or three amino acids. Glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. Glutathione also recycles other antioxidant vitamins in our bodies! How cool is that? A part of glutathione (catalase) also helps break down hydrogen peroxide!! Very important. Stop eating processed foods. No grains, no oats, no bread, no gluten, stop with white flours n sugars, pops, fruit juices, crackers ect.. be easy on fruits too as they contain large amounts of natural fructose (its still an explosive sugar like it or not people) the majority of our choloric intake should be composed of vegetables. Think more of green vegetables at that. Some dairy may be ok if you can tolerate it but must be raw and grass fed also it should be NON pasteurized. For protein, eggs (free range), non denatured grass fed whey protein, grass fed meats.. coconut oil for some fats(not an essential fatty acid but very healthy), fish oil or cod liver oil for essential fatty acids. Also silver amalgam fillings are horrible so get them safely removed if you have any. Supplement with minerals and vitamins too of course. Get some exercise to get your lymphatic system working. It helps detox because yourlymphatic system doesnt have a heart so it uses gravity.(a rebounder is great for this). Green veggie juices are great.

    Hope i didnt miss too much but by doing these things (stop eating the toxic crap, supplement, breathe, eat good), our bodies can use this fuel to regenerate any degenerative problems it faces. Also look into green super foods like algea and stuff very beneficial.we can control genes. Nutrients are genes masters in essence. Hope this helps.

      Thanks for sharing Your knowledge Teh ben and Keven  ,We develop vitiligo because we are genetically predisposed to vitiligo there are many theories out there but no one knows the underlying cause..the only known trigger for most ppl is emotional stress.


      For some ppl vitiligo is related to digestive problem and Food intolerance for others not...there is no scientific evidence about connection of vitiligo and diet, most of us we can eat what we want as long as we do it in a healthy way,,,,,,,, any way "Balancing" is the key for every thing.

      Have a Nice weekend!

      • kevin > Bamsegutt February 18, 2014 at 10:58am
        Balance is true but one must balance with only beneficiaries if unwell. Not a green juice and a soda, that is not ok. We develop this because of oxidation, starvation, and toxification at the cell level. This happens before one develops the physical signs of disease. No matter what disease it is. As far as genetics goes,, we have control over our genes! Did you know that? Listen to ben fuchs speak. He talks about all this stuff and it all makes perfect sense. He is a nutritionist/ skin care expert and alsoa pharmacist. Also a biochemicl Expert which is what matters when it comes to health of the human body.. The genenic predisposition theory is based off of the medical dogma to in essence protect "heroic medicine". Which is good news for us. If your parents were sick and mal nourished chances are your gonna be too and in the same areas. We gotta change our life style for the better. The only way to get our health back is by plain and simply what we put in our bodies. Once we give ourselves what we lack, our amazing ability to regenerate will kick in and kick disease in the rear.

        I mean no disrespect bams.. if your interested in this i highly recommend you listen to his show "the bright side''. Best health information you will ever find. Strong statement i know but true. I have learned some crazy stuff from him.. why and how we get sick, fat, diabetes, thyroid problems, adrenal problems ect..

          Hey Kevin...I understand what you mean ...Every theory we heare have some point but  we haven`t found any proven theory about vitiligo yet....I know alot of ppl and my self trying all the remedies nothing Works for every one permanentlly, Some times for me it feels as if vitligo has its own way ....There are treatments which helps but it is not permanent ,  as you say since we dont fix the underlying cause .It doesn`t help what ever we do.


           No one knows  yet the main underlying cause..We hope the the modified protein research may help us repig one day in the future .

    Hi Teh Ben,

    Thanks for the post and happy to know that you are experiencing repigmentation.
    Has it stopped or slowed down the spread as well?
