Lately, quite a few people have been leaving comments asking about my excimer xtrac laser treatments, so I thought I would post some new comparison photos.
I edited the coloring in photoshop to make the newly pigmented areas more obvious; however, this in no way effected the true results. The darker areas show where there is pigment.
The first photo gives my hand a distorted look, but this is due to rotating it so my hand would be facing upwards. I don’t have an exact date which photo 1 was taken, …

First of all, I want to share some very exciting news. I went in for a TSH test on Tuesday because 2 years ago I stopped taking synthroid for my hypothyroidism and though I’ve been taking an all natural thyroid activator, a doctor friend of mine asked me to come in to have my levels checked to be sure it was indeed working. I received the great news on Friday: I no longer have hypothyroidism!
My doctor friend couldn’t explain the change, so, either my body just decided to work …

As of last friday, my dermatologist, Dr. Ring, has added protopic as part of my xtrac laser treatments. I am to apply it twice a day except on the day preceeding a treatment. I will keep you updated as to any changes which occur in pigmentation.

Since reading articles about chickpeas helping vitiligo, I’ve been experimenting with different recipes. I figured since I can’t get the ointment scientists used in their studies, consuming the chickpeas would be a good place to start. Here are a few recipes that were simple enough for me to make and they were delicious. If you have a recipe you’d like to share, email it to me and i will post it to the site.Punjabi Choley
Chole curry (chickpeas curry)
Chickpea Salad
This is a quick and healthy recipes and good for children as …

I came across this article about a cure for vitiligo which was found years ago in Cuba. If it is true, it makes me question why other scientists around the world are not using the research to develop a cure.
In the 70’s, in fulfillment of a commercial agreement, Cuba exported annually 40 tons of human placenta to MERIUX Laboratories, in France. At the same time, Dr. Carlos Miyares Cao, a physician specialist in Gynecology, Obstetrics and Pharmacology, and professor from Medical School of the University of Havana, Cuba, discovers …

It’s been about a month since my friend, Juone, told me about the urad bean studies to heal vitiligo, and can you believe, it wasn’t until yesterday that I finally walked into an Indian grocer to buy the supplies.
Sure, I could have searched online for a nearby Indian grocer, but I already knew of one that is about 40 minutes away and I just assumed I would go there…sometime. However, yesterday I drove to the post office down the street- somewhere I visit at least once a week to mail …

Yesterday I was speaking to a friend of mine in Paris who has vitiligo and is contiually looking for new curative ideas. He forwarded some new information he found about the use of black chickpeas from india (urad) which looks promising to some indian scientists.
Here is the article:
Varanasi, Jan 27 (IANS) Chickpeas hold the cure for leukoderma, a chronic skin disease that causes loss of pigment, resulting in white spots or patches on the skin, claim scientists of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU).
In a research project undertaken jointly by the …

I have to tell you that I am quite surprised by how long I have persevered with the whole regime. Sometimes I think it has been ‘overkill, ‘ but my use of several therapies in combination is a deliberate strategy. As I stated, I tend to use several treatments in moderation, rather than relying on frequent use of a single therapy. For example, this means that I limit NB UVB to 1-2x per week, rather than every second day, and piperine 1-2x per week rather than daily. The only thing …
