Irreversible Vitiligo reversed naturally

Anand Siva developed white patches on his face in 2014 at the age of 48, which were diagnosed as vitiligo. The patches initially spread rapidly across his face, leading him to consult a dermatologist for confirmation.
Anand’s vitiligo had spread rapidly across his face, with extensive white patches. A dermatologist told him that there was no known cure or explanation for why it happened and recommended a colouring cream to hide the patches.
According to Anand’s account, his condition improved significantly over the following years. By August 2017, he estimated that around 60% of the patches were gone, and by May 2019 he believed only around 10% remained. He also made substantial dietary and lifestyle changes during this period.

To live his life without being defined by his skin condition while incorporating more organic, fresh raw foods and a vegan lifestyle into his daily routine.

It was a random beginning

It was somewhere in 2014, when I was 48 years old, that my daughter Shasvathi noticed white small patches appearing on my face. From there, it started spreading rapidly. At its peak, my face was like an atlas, well, being round and bald, more like a globe!

Below am sharing vitiligo reversal stories ie how I cured my vitiligo.

Expert Opinion

I went to a dermatologist only to confirm it was vitiligo as I didn’t want to be visiting public places or going to office with something contagious. I asked her if it was reversible. Her response was “not really, there’s no cure or knowledge of why it happens. But it’s my duty to give you something to try”! She then offered a colouring cream recommendation to hide it.

How I felt about my condition

I thought to myself that who will gain from this action plan – probably the pharma companies hoping I’d make it a lifelong habit!

I usually take things as they come. A patch on my skin wasn’t going to bother me. I did not use the skin colouring cream. I believe being beautiful from inside comes first! All I hoped was for it to spread fast enough and make me monochrome – so I could stop being asked silly questions!

Status today

Take a look at the pictures below. Frankly, I am not too sure what caused the reversal, especially since not a single act in my day was to even remotely address this, so much so that I think its perhaps just not giving it any respect or importance that sort of turned it away! Why not?

By Aug 2017, my condition had improved significantly. I would say 60% of the patches were gone.

Currently (May 2019), I think just 10% of it is left.

Some changes that parallely happened in my life

I thought I’d share some of the big changes that happened in my life during these periods. It may help those of you who are or know someone going through this phase of losing pigmentation. It may be worthy of trying and go back to prove that always – it is ONLY GOOD food that will deliver good health.

  • The first change was to do away with the microwave. I had been reading about the ill effects of microwave and this change was long due.
  • The last 24 months has been a big dietary change. – I went 80% organic. I switched to more and more fresh raw foods – salads, fruits, nuts and seeds.

My daily routine looked like this:

  • Start of the day – a fruit smoothie at about 7:00 am.
  • Breakfast – usually ragi or any millet porridge, by 8-8.30 am.
  • Fruits and salads between 11:00 am and 9:00 pm – including dry fruits, nuts, seeds such as sunflower seeds, melon seeds, raisins, etc.
  • Grains and pulses are occasional, for a change, once in a while.
  • My cooked food is steam cooked and eaten without salt or oil.
  • My water drinking habits changed – I had completely stopped drinking bottled water. As I carried my own water always, it would have something added to it – Apple Cider Vinegar for vitiligo (which was added to my salads too), cinnamon sticks, sliced lemon, pudhina (mint leaves) stalks.
  • The role of chemicals in my life has drastically reduced. Organic food is one part of it, I have perhaps been using zero PET/ plastic. No food of mine was bought, served or stored in anything other than clay, steel or wood.

I had turned vegan in 2010, for ethical reasons, as an animal activist. The vegan lifestyle was instrumental in giving a strong foundation to my health. Animal foods are heavy-to-digest and body wastes a lot of energy on digestion. As I was not consuming non-veg and dairy, my body was able to use its energy to heal me.

Conclusion

I can’t think of anything else that has changed since I was diagnosed with vitiligo in 2014. I am certain that not giving attention to my skin condition was the primary reason for its reversal. It’s like an unwanted guest who leaves in a huff. But inside me is the confidence-boosting belief that gives your body the food it deserves, it will pay you back with good health. Consider this: if an irreversible case like this can show signs of reversal, how much it can help killer diseases like diabetes, heart, kidney and liver!!

Give it a thought. If you are still placing taste in the mouth over goodness in the body, you are wasting life!
