Oftentimes, it’s your comments that lead me on a new adventure of investigating potential causes of vitiligo or its cure. Here is one posted just the other day…
One other item that might offer another clue…I remember my mother using sodium fluoride (an exterior pesticide) inside the house. We both started getting vitiligo at this time. Perhaps fluoride plays a role in destroying pigment cells. Has anyone else had a similar connection…ray
Ray got me thinking about an interview I did with the owner of Golden Grocer, a natural foods store in the St. Louis, in which he spoke of a customer who attributed her vitiligo to fluoride and through the use of certain vitamins is beginning to repigment.
Upon further investigation into fluoride, I found an abundance of really scary information that points to fluoride being a viable trigger to many illnesses such as hypothyroid, a common autoimmune disorder that effects many people who have vitiligo.
Here are links to what I read and to the interview at Green Grocer:

Hi, i’m new to your website and are very glad to be part of it.
I have vitiligo since i was 9. I fell into a well when i was about 8 and soon after i started getting white spots. My very first dermatologist told my parent that often Vitiligo start if patient live or experience an amotional shock in their lives, LIKE DEATH OR AND ACCIDENT…EXT.
Not only i got Vitiligo but on top of that i’m scared of the dark for being stuck inside the well for more than 24 hours. I had hard time living with vitiligo all my life but for the past 10 years i really accepted it and embraced it.
When i was much younger i took Meladinine for many years and did the UV light. I could have gotten cancer from it but thank god did not. So wright now i discovered Vitilax that i have been taking for 2 years now. I have to say that most of my knees spots are gone but everything else is still the same. Today i’m still searching for a cure. I go to the beach and the pool and have no problems getting in my tiny Bikini. I have an awesome body and i wont let anyone give me a weird look because of my spots. I love who i am and love the skin that god gave me.
I hope that everyone who reads my story feels the same because that’s why we are here after all to support each other.
