Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Dear All, I am in hopes that the first message is NOT an advertisement. However I will take it seriously. Here are two of the MANY links to organizations involved with the research of the skin disease that many thought is a virus, as it does spread, but is not contagious, that removes melanocytes and causes depigmentation. The main treatment is with PUVA. It is NOT curable, and there are no known causes, except genetic predisposition. The herbal oil that bonner smith refers to is most likely one of the 'complementary treatments'. I am sorry to report that I do not place much stock in it. Here is a cut and paste from: http://www.vitiligosociety.org.uk/ Is there treatment for vitiligo? I was told that nothing could be done for it. Yes, there are treatments available on the NHS. These cannot cure vitiligo but they can often slow down its progress or, in some cases, bring about complete repigmentation. If colour does return to the white patches it is still at risk of being lost again at a later stage. Doctors can prescribe steroid creams to be used for a limited period on the affected patches. With new areas or ones which have just started to spread, this treatment can slow down the rate of spread or even restore some of the lost colour, but unfortunately it does not work for everyone. There is also another NHS treatment known as PUVA. This involves taking regular medication (Psoralen) and visiting a hospital for treatment (by Ultra Violet A light) twice a week for a period of many months (the illustration shows a typical PUVA cabinet). You can obtain more information on this treatment by contacting the office and asking for a free leaflet. This treatment also works well for some patients. The book we have published called Vitiligo: Understanding the loss of skin colour gives much more information about available therapies. For example, complementary therapies cover a wide field ranging from traditional Chinese, Indian and homeopathic medicine to so called " cures " offered in advertisements by some clinics and individuals. No complementary therapy is free and some of these treatments can prove very costly indeed. The majority of complementary therapies have not been rigorously tested in the way conventional western medicines have been. Before taking any medicine or pill you should ask what it contains, and you should let your GP know what you are taking. Many people offering complementary treatments are well qualified but, as anyone can set up as a practitioner, our advice is that you should make sure that anyone you consult is registered with a recognized professional body. http://www.nvfi.org/qanda.htm Most Respectfully Jeanetta Mastron CPhT BSChemistry Founder/Owner > Anti-Vitiligo is a herbal oil for vitiligo treatment.It has very high > sucess rate with rapid Repigmentation.
