Vitiligo is a skin condition of depigmentation (no pigment) where the melanin is either damaged or destroyed. It is most often seen on the hands. The condition of vitiligo is more evident in people of darker skin because there is more of a contrast. It\u2019s also more evident when one is sun tanned. Vitiligo happens in about 1% of the population.<\/p>\n
Causes of vitiligo are unknown but theories include autoimmune disorders and genetic causes. Medical treatments include transplanting pigments, destroying pigment to match, and steroid cr\u00e8mes; none of these address the cause and may be toxic. There may also be skin paint available for those with vitiligo.<\/p>\n
Naturally, with vitiligo (skin problems) we look at a liver weakness. It is best to use several natural solutions and it takes 4 to 12 months for great improvement. I have seen about a 50% success rate.<\/p>\n
Nutrition for vitiligo includes getting rid of foods that may harm the liver like medications (minimize them). Stop the use of tobacco, alcohol, sodas, coffee and fast foods. Natural remedies for vitiligo include NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) at 2 capsules 2 times a day as a liver protector. Use other herbs for vitiligo, cell salts, and homeopathic remedies for several months.<\/p>\n
