I had sent an email to my previous customers of Vitiligo Cover asking if they would like to submit a story, for my book, about their experience with their vitiligo. This is an email I received a man in Yucatan, Mexico who also happens to be my very first online customer I when started selling Vitiligo Cover lotion. He first wrote me years ago to let me know that he was so happy with the results from the cover lotion because he could finally go to the beach.
Well, 3 years later, he wrote me again and now he is even happier…
p.s. English is not his native language.

hi nathalie,
i’ve been doing a treatment and i am about to 100% repigment.
i am so happy but i could write a story about the drug abuse i fell in while having vitiligo and about the loss of 6 years since i didn’t want to go school etc…
o btw i am 23 year old. i get vitiligo at 16 and heal at 23.
in 4 months i repigment the 90 % of lost pigment.
I wrote him back inquiring what he did for the re-pigmenting…

tx for the interest and its really hard to explain how happy i am, probably as hard as it is to explain to people without vitiligo how hard is to deal with the condition… but i still live with the fear of its come back 🙁 but the last thing that dies is the hope :D.
the treatment was:
i used flaxseed oil
fish oil (omega 3)
vitamin b injections
multi-vitamin (centrum)
green tea (as much as i can drink)
vitamin e
i drink beet juice also.
shark cartilage
i also work out (lift weights)
and i do cardio vascular exercise everyday (spinning or box or go out to run, etc)
since i start to work out i start a diet which was based on eating only healthy stuff.
(no fat, no trash food, only clean chicken meat ) i also eat protein which some ppl think it help the body to assimilate all the other stuff (some ppl with vitiligo eat keffir for that) i start using it cause its a very well known supplement in the body builders world.
i also start a puva treatment twice a week using oxioralen pills on it.
i think the combination of all of these help me.
the difference on quality of life is incredible. i wish everyone with vitiligo could feel it.
ill be waiting for your mail, the best of luck 😀
