I Was Told By A Health Provider To Take Vitamin D3 And Magnesium Glycinate To Slow Down The Vitiligo.

I have no insurance. And want some insite as to what I can use over the counter to fade the vitiligo spots? It's spreading everywhere faster than ever before. Is it something I am eating?

Hi Rhonda, Absolutely , Stress is one of the biggest triggers for vitiligo to spread!!! Also, google antiinflammatory diet, be gluten free, dairy free, no night shade vegetables, these will contribute to vitiligo spreading

My dr had told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid but the only thing that was very effective for me was light treatment. I know you mentioned you don’t have insurance but have you checked into trials? One I tried to get into a few years ago included light treatment. I was not accepted into the trial as I didn’t have enough on my face but see if there are any new trials near you. Also are you close to getting Medicare? I thought your age stated 64. I would start investing if Medicare will cover treatment.

Mamabear4...I appreciate your response. I am 64 and dealing with stress definitely plays a high favor in my Life right now. Trying to center my mind, body and soul is important and I need to find ways to make that happen. Herbal tea's I will look into that. Thank You so much. 😄👍🏾

Rhonda, I didn’t see your personal until now I don’t always go on the side and follow any longer, nightshade vegetables are eggs, eggplant, anything with dark skin, red peppers, tomatoes with seeds, cucumbers, with seeds and Julia cucumber you’re supposed to take out the season, peel the skin off. Going on a gluten-free way of life, dairy free way of life, anti-inflammatory food and finding a way to manage. Expresss are the best without insurance exercise walk talk to somebody.. you have to be careful with some tease. Some of them stimulate the immune system, which makes the Vitiligo spread. I have had that experience.! I can only drink black tea, green tea, peppermint tea. Chamomile tea, simulates, the immune system, hibiscus stimulates, the immune system , Robois tea will also stimulate the immune system. Also, good idea to go dairy free.

Thank You so much. I am hoping for good results as well. Even though I know that the light therapy treatments would probably be more successful. Wish I can't afford right now. How are you doing Beautiful? It's Great to hear from you again. Are you ready for the Holidays? I'am NOT, yet. My hubby said we will be putting up a few lights to decorate the 🏠.
If I don't get a chance to conversate with you between now and Christmas. I wish you and your family the Best of The Holiday Season's
Take Care!!! 😄👍🏾
