Hello everyone...I am from Greece and I was diagnosed with vitiligo since 2008 after an emotional breakdown I had. I have tried various treatments all these year. Detox therapies, therapy with cortizon pills and sun exposure (which was the worst), homeopathy...and now I am considering PUVA treatment. Has anyone tried that?
My vit has stopped growing after homeopathetic treatment and also in the past it was stable for more than one year when i was pregnant and after giving birth. I suppose all the vitamins that i was taking at that time helped. I 've spoken to several doctors and practicioners here in Greece and in Serbia, as well as to former vitiligo patients. I was lucky enough to find two kids that were cured. The first kid told me that her vitiligo disapeared completely after eating parsley as a salat every day for a couple of years. The second child was cured following the treatment with cortizon and sun exposure (which apparently did not work for me).Right now I try to have a detox nutrition as much as possible and I cook my meals with Parsley. As I mentioned before my belief is that since my bad psychology triggerd vitiligo, a calm psychology and self acceptance with detox nutrition might help..

Hi elfi. I'm from Venezuela and I'm 17. I've been doing PUVA treatment since last year and definitely worked on me! Now I stopped the treatment because is very expensive here in venezuela and I can't pay it (Here we call PUVA "Fototerapia"). I tried 6 differents treatments and PUVA was the only one that worked. I recommend Puva because is worth it
hola yo hice Puva por un tiempito y cuando pare parece que me salio tantito mas, ni idea. Ahora no lo estoy haciendo porque estoy embarazada. Tambien hice Excimer laser y ese fue super pero tambien tuve que para porque aca en Belgica no tienen esa maquina pff
Thank you Alejandro for the information... I suppose fototherapia is expensive here in Greece to but I suppose I have nothing else to try anymore
Makes sense.
