About Me:

I'm a writer and researcher at heart. I enjoy learning about nutrition and practicing yoga, especially hot yoga. I have five boys ages 5-14. I have vit for around 20 years, but when it spread to my face, I got serious and now my face is repigmented!

  • Valerie, how is your Vitiligo doing now. Has it all healed?

  • I read your story and it inspired me.  I started getting vitiligo when I was 47 - a little splotch on my neck that spread to hands, arms, feet, chest, legs... the list goes on!  I am on a vegetarian diet and, thanks to you, tried Novitil Gel.  After three months of using it faithfully, I am seeing freckling and repigmenting.  This is the first time I am seeing pigment return since I started losing it four years ago.

  • Hi Valerie,
    Your story and research were very encouraging to me! I friend requested you because I had some questions regarding the books and things you tried! I love your positive attitude. I will pm you after I am added. I wanted to know the exercise you used, does the ph book show how to get your body into an alkaline state? Are you still using novitl? And were you able to repigment any other areas of your body. I need some answers and believe I can stop this progression as well. Hope to hear from you soon! Thanks
  • hi...can u be my friend....

  • Hello and stop by Delaware Vitiligo Support & Awareness.
  • Valerie, I have been looking at the product Novitil and the instructions are to expose the white areas to sunlight. My question to you is: will the dermalight 80 work just as well? Am anxious to hear from you. I hope that it does, because I really do not like being out in the sun too much.
  • Valerie, I just finished downloading your story. I haven't read it yet, but am going to read it soon, I have a busy crazy week going on! You are truly a blessing of hope for me. I have had vit for about 25 years. It started with a small dot on the small finger of my left hand and slowly began to spread. Now I have it all up and down from my elbows down to my hands. It has been so frustrating for me, and sometimes I become so angry. It's so wonderful to be able to chat with people that I have this vit in common with. I am new to all this, and before I came to this site I had no one to talk to. It's so good to share with everyone. You truly sound like a wonderful person Valerie. I heard the conversation you had with Lee Thomas last night, and even HE was inspired by. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Valerie
  • It's been awhile since our last chat. How are you? Noah decided he wants to chat with people now so he posted his own picture in hopes to find some more younger kids on the site. I was reading some posts on the black urad bean. Have you heard anything about it or tried it? I guess it's like a black indian chickpea you can consume or grind to use as a topical? It's supposed to help with the production of melanin. Well I hope all is well with you. I will be checking in on his site from time to time. Hope to hear from you soon! Jenn :)
  • Hi Valerie:

    Firstly, thanks sharing your story..it was very informational, helpful, and inspirational.

    I am curious to know if your treatment worked on your hands, lips, and feet.

    And secondly, could you share your diet tips as well..specific foods that you eat..

    Thanks a lot, Bobby
