Vitiligo

December 31, 2007

Have you had any experience with Kundalini yoga or diet that has halted

the progression of Vitiligo?

Sat Nam!

I can't say that it is exactly from the practice of KY that I am

better of Vitiligo, but it sure helped, because I feel so much better

since I've started practicing one year ago.

Just one doctor get the diagnosis right for my white areas on feet,

knees and some other spots. He said that Vitiligo can spontaneously

remit (or not). He said that cutting some food of the diet can help.

I was very young when I met this doctor and I don't recall all the

foods he said to avoid (should have written them!), but some were the

typical: coffee, dairy, alcohol, sugar, wheat, and he said I should

avoid citrines too (orange, kiwi, etc). He gave me vitamin C as a

supplement, of course.

The doctor told something else important too. That Vitiligo is usualy

connected to trauma or some kind of emotional shock. My mom first

replied that I had nothing of those but then it came to her that my

parents split up when I was 7 years old, and the spots apeared

exactly that time... I loved my father so much and I was always got

sick when he had to go out for long periods of time. Vitiligo was the

way of my body express the attention I needed. It's all so logic and

scary. The body respond precisally to the cries of the soul...

There is a lot to say about auto-imune diseases and I am not a

doctor. What I am writing is only my experience and due some

investigation I did.

I have RRMS (Relapse-Remiting Multiple Sclerosis) too. If we have the

genetic predisposition to develop this kind of diseases and if the

circumstances don't help (virus, infections, diet and weather), the

result is not very friendly and auto-imune diseases can arise.

Diet, KY and power affirmations are fundamental to change the odds,

because we can change our mind frequence if we change the way we

think, change our habits and all starts to change, because we can

step out form the old patterns that are getting us sick. It is not a

miracle and it is the hard way of facing things (it is so much easier

to hand over the responsability of my health to my doctors and

therapies, if something goes wrong I have the perfect excuse..), but

KY as been a powerful tool to me to do a lot of little miracles

everyday. I am doing a meditation to heal the physical, mental and

spiritual bodies everyday, and I also do one of the interferon

therapies that are used to halt the progression of the MS (it works

only on 30% to stop the MS relapses, that's why generally the people

of MS get worse over the time...). Fortunately there are also new

therapies coming, maybe they will put a stop on this type of

diseases! And this doesn't mean I will sit down and wait for them

It has been a roller coasting of emotions, a lot of times I am really

scared of trying to take my life and health back with my bare hands,

but I will keep up! And if I look the Vitiligo areas on my body as a

barometer of how things are working, they are disappearing over

time, so healing is in progress

I believe that as I am empowering and regaining conscience of myself

I can stop and revert the degenerative process of the MS and Vitiligo

and whatever-auto-imune-disease-that-can-arise. If it doesn't work,

well, at least I tried and don't loose time crying over it. Call me

crazy, well, it is better to be crazy than ill!! I try to take things

on the funny side, so they don't get heavier

Hope this helps a little.

Take care, have an excelent 2008!

Love and light,

Don'T give up. Vitiligo is something very special, and needs a lot of patience.

I suffered from vitiligo many years ago and I could revert the process. Believe

it or not, I could stop it, Im now a normal person that forgot vitiligo, and

left it in the past for ever. it needs a good doctor and a lot of sun. The

white areas, that seems to be spots-but they aren`t-, need to be " reactivated "

internallly with some kind of medicine, because that spot is your skin, without

colour, because your melanine is dead. The emotional shock is the very

beginning, so meditation and some peace in your soul help the medicine and your

skin to heal. you will see the white areas will recover little by little and the

sun make your skin to be red, until it covers completely. If your skin is red

when you are in the sun, this is because you can heal it.

Of course after that I help people with this problem to solve it with the

doctor. I had it in all my face., and it took me 3 years, almost 4 to recover

completely. I live in Argentina and my phone number is 4461-3930. I speak

English and if you need some help I could help. Obviously, I cannot write all

the story in detail but i hope it will help to somebody else.

There are a lot of things you must be careful if you are decided to say

goodbye to vitiligo, and one is to be able to change your way of life.....

happy new year

Thank you for the sharing your experiences with Vitiligo.

I posted the question, as I've only been practicing Kundalini yoga

for 10 months and in this 10 month period I've been able begin the

healing process for years of childhood trauma. I'm still processing

repressed emotions, still releasing, and fully dedicated to my

practice I first saw a Dermatologist when I was 15; 21 years ago. He

told me at that time that there is no cure and you just have to live

with it and stay out of the sun. Which is what I did. As time passed

and what used to bother me, I learned to accept and after beginning

Kundalini yoga 10 months ago, I actually forgot about my Vitiligo. I

have noticed this last year, that my body and spirit is craving sun.

As I reflect back through my life, Vitiligo first started showing up

after I moved from the South to Alaska. My Vitiligo is getting better

not worse with age and I believe this has a direct reflection of my

Kundalini practice and letting go.

I am interested though in what medication that was prescribed for

Vitiligo. My accupuncturist tried experimenting with herbs a while

back.

I am blessed to have a supportive Kundalini community and teacher

that have supported me through this process.

Blessings,

Tara

dear tara:

The medication, is very strong and as far as I know many people i was helping,

couldnt stand it for long. This is why I prefer y ou consult a doctor. its name

is 8-mop and I don´´t know if it is available in chemistries all over the world.

This medication must be taken with the appropiate instructions of you personal

doctor, you can burn yourself if you don´´t know, how it works. this medication

reactivate your melanine , and with the help of the sun you will see how it

covers the white spots little by little. This happens if you can have great

" equilibrium " , physically and mentally and of course meditation is one the most

important ingredients in this recipe.

Think...that if the very beginnig of your story was an emotional shock, or you

have it since very young you can revert the process, start listening your heart

and your body, pay attention to every movement you do when healing the parts

affected and you will discover the cure...

kisses
