QUESTION:
 
Lena, 
 
My daughter has vitiligo, and I was wondering if you were aware of any natural therapy that can help her?   I also read your article about figs.  How can I use this to treat her vitiligo?
 
Sincerely,
Yve
 
 
ANSWER:
 
Thanks for the question Yve,

You don't say how old your daughter is as that would make a difference... If she is under 12 years of age you need Dr. Garland to work up a protocol for her...

This isn't an easy question nor are there any concrete answers as science is so divided on it... Let's see what they think they know?

"Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin, the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose and genital and rectal areas), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball) are destroyed. As a result, white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. The hair that grows in areas affected by vitiligo usually turns white."

Science so far says; "Vitiligo seems to be more common in people with certain autoimmune diseases (diseases in which a person's immune system reacts against the body's own organs or tissues). These autoimmune diseases include hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland), adrenocortical insufficiency (the adrenal gland does not produce enough of the hormone called corticosteroid), alopecia areata (patches of baldness), and pernicious anemia (a low level of red blood cells caused by failure of the body to absorb vitamin B-12). Scientists do not know the reason for the association between vitiligo and these autoimmune diseases. However, most people with vitiligo have no other autoimmune disease."

So I say, as do most natural medicine practitioners, why not look at restoring the immune system rather than covering it up with treating symptoms only?

Science also says; "Vitiligo may also be hereditary, that is, it can run in families. Children whose parents have the disorder are more likely to develop vitiligo. However, most children will not get vitiligo even if a parent has it, and most people with vitiligo do not have a family history of the disorder."

This may be genetic or it may simply be the fact that families tend to eat and do the same things passing on the organ disfunction to the next family member. Correct that imbalance and you will most likely correct the problem!

Facts are; "About 1 to 2 percent of the world's population, or 40 to 50 million people, have vitiligo. In the United States, 2 to 5 million people have the disorder. Ninety-five percent of people who have vitiligo develop it before their 40th birthday. The disorder affects all races and both sexes equally."

This speaks volumes to the fact that our foods no long contain the nutrients needed to make us healthy so that needs to be corrected with supplementing the missing nutrients. Creating a healthy immune system...

There are some horrific treatments being used by the traditional medical world from steroids to skin transplants and none looks like anything I would want to use since the side effects with each one could be worse than the problem.

The goal of natural medicine's treatment of vitiligo is to restore the function of the skin and to improve the patient's appearance. Therapy for vitiligo takes a long time--it usually must be continued for 3 to 18 months.

In the majority of Vitiligo; Restoring the Immune System and balancing out the organ function, in most instances, restores the adrenal glands to proper order that will over time, repair the pigment production and that requires restoring the proper nutrients to the body giving it the ability to repair itself...

Dr. Garland has a protocol that is working with restoring immune function and people are getting healthy with it...


The 3 Month Dr. Garland's AutoImmune Recovery Protocol.

For The First 5 Days:
--On rising take a large glass of purified/filtered/bottled water with juice of a lemon or lime squeezed into it. Do not eat or drink anything for 15 minutes.
For BREAKFAST have a large bowl of Potassium Broth (Click here for recipe) with Bragg's Liquid Aminos for seasoning.

MIDMORNING have a glass of black cherry juice (from health food store) with LIFE TRANSFUSION LIQUID MINERAL COMPLEX (6 drops per glass added). Alternate with GREEN MAGMA (aka BarleyGreen) drink (from health food store) with 6 mineral drops added .

For LUNCH have a cup of miso soup (from health food store or Oriental market) with 6 liquid mineral drops added and a whole grain piece of toast and a small chopped spinach salad.

MIDAFTERNOON Snack have another glass of GREEN MAGMA (Barley green) drink with 6 drops of minerals added. Alternate with a mug of MILK THISTLE TEA (All found at most high end health food stores).

For DINNER have another Potassium Broth or steamed veggie with BARLEAN'S FLAX SEED OIL for dressing. (Get Barleans Flax Seed Oil at the health food store or online ); OR steamed tofu with black beans and brown rice; OR a veggie casserole OR get the CASCADIAN FARMS brand of foods from the health food store and have one of those for variety.

BEFORE BED take a glass of celery juice with liquid minerals added; or a cup of ORGANIC GOURMET brand Savory Spread yeast extract broth; or a cup of miso soup.

The above 5-day program will cleanse the body and the tissues and also, alkalize the blood which is vital to immune system recovery.

Then follow with a special 4 week program as follows:

On rising take a glass of purified/filtered/bottled water with the juice of a lemon squeezed into it or a whole, fresh grapefruit.

For BREAKFAST have a large glass of cranberry grape or papaya juice and a bowl of fresh berries, ie; cherries, bananas, strawberries, boysenberries, blueberries, etc..

MIDMORNING have a big bowl of Potassium Broth with 6 drops of liquid mineral added or a large glass of carrot and beet juice with half teaspoon LIFE TRANSFUSION LIQUID MINERAL COMPLEX added.

For LUNCH have a large, dark green salad with lemon and BARLEAN'S FLAX SEED OIL for dressing and/or a hot veggie broth or onion soup and marinated tofu or tempeh in black bean chili sauce.

MIDAFTERNOON have a cup of miso soup with dry sea vegetables crumbled into it or a large glass GREEN MAGMA drink and 6 drops liquid minerals added or a mug of MILK THISTLE TEA with black honey with mineral drops
.
For DINNER have a Chinese greens salad with mushrooms, chilies with a sesame seed oil dressing or a large dinner salad with soy cheese, nuts, tamari dressing and a cup of black bean or miso soup or some steamed vegetables with flax seed oil dressing and brown rice with Bragg's Liquid Aminos for seasoning.

BEDTIME have a cranberry or black cherry juice drink or a cup of miso soup with dry sea vegetables crumbled into it.

(Keep a large glass of purified water by your bed as your body will now start craving water during the night as it detoxifies.)

After 5 weeks, your body and your blood will be totally purified with this diet.

To keep the Immune system functioning properly the ongoing diet, using the suggestions below, thereafter is recommended:

*Buy the "PASSIONATE VEGETARIAN" cookbook, at your local health food store or at www.Amazon.com and read how to eat fabulously healthy, all natural foods that are not processed or contain dangerous preservatives, additives, colorings and flavorings. Try to make at least one major meal a day using this cookbook.

*Shop for Oriental vegetables and cook these lightly by steaming, lightly simmering or in a wok. These veggie are bok choy; chard; bancha greens; shiitake mushrooms; crushed garlic; shredded ginger root; shallots; lemon grass; cilantro or coriander.

*Avoid all dairy, all milk/cheese/ice cream. Dairy is full of chemicals and hormones that damage the immune system Switch to soymilk and tofu instead. Get this at the oriental market nearest you or buy the amazing SOYTOY MACHINE that makes fresh, organic soymilk in your kitchen for pennies a quart instead of $2 or more a quart in the supermarket

*Avoid all meat, chicken, red meat, veal, pork. These are full of chemicals and hormones that kill the immune system. Eat cold water fish once a week, grilled with fresh lime or lemon squeezed over it and oriental veggie on the side with steamed brown rice.

*Eat Vegetables both steamed and raw as snacks are essential. Get celery sticks, small carrot sticks, big black olives and snack on these throughout the day.

*Half the diet should be whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat, oats, barley, millet, buckwheat, rye and corn. Other foods in order of their importance are sea vegetables; olive oil; nuts, fruits, occasional egg (free range/organic only).

The following formulations are also needed to work in conjunction with the overall diet recommendations above:
*LIFE TRANSFUSION LIQUID MINERAL COMPLEX. All Autoimmune disease sufferers have been found to be chronically deficient in all minerals and trace minerals. These elements are vital to the life process and no true health and healing can be achieved without them being supplied on a daily basis. Theoretically, these elements were designed to be supplied by our food, but with so much of our topsoil now so degraded and exhausted from overproduction reaching back centuries; these elements are not in the soil anymore and thus, not in our fruits, grains or vegetables. This highly concentrated liquid mineral complex supplies all 84 of the essential elements needed by the body, in particular it is very high in essential Magnesium which is key to Immune system recovery. Take two teaspoons a day in carrot and beet juice. One teaspoon around 8am, one teaspoon at noon and again around 3- 4pm. This amount may cause very loose stools in the beginning from detoxing and may continue until detoxing is complete! (Start slow and work up if it occurs to the point of discomfort)
For circulation and skin care bathe a couple of times a week in a Mineral bath; Fill a bath with hot, purified or filtered water. Add a half cup ( ) of tea tree oil and a quarter cup ( ) of LIFE TRANSFUSION LIQUID MINERALS. Do this three times a week...

*IMMUNE SUPPORT FORMULA. The re-balancing of the immune system is key to recovery. This very powerful formulation is the result of years of ongoing research and contains a blockbuster delivery of vital immune stimulatory compounds from Mongolia, Tibet, China and the Brazilian rainforest that are only now being recognized by modern medicine for their immune boosting abilities. In particular, the compounds used such as Agaricus, Shiitake, Maitake and Reishi mushroom fungi dramatically boost NK or "Natural Killer" cells that are the fronting of the body's immune army.
Take 9 capsules daily, 3 with each meal for the first month then they can be decreased to 1 three times a day with the healing of the immune system...


*ANTIOXIDANT/FREE RADICAL CONTROL FORMULA. This is the "sister" formula to the IMMUNE SUPPORT FORMULA detailed above. It is designed to wash dangerous "free radicals" from the blood and the cells so that any form of degenerative disease can not take hold. This formula is also a super antiaging/longevity tonic and contains a host of compounds (some 119) that have never before been combined together into one formulation.
Take 9 capsules daily, 3 with each meal for first month or until disease is abated then can be decreased to 3 morning and 3 evening.

*SHARK LIVER OIL GELCAPS (OCEAN GOLD FORMULA). Shark's don't get cancer. They have outlasted the dinosaurs and have survived every plague to have swept this earth. The reason is simple. Their immune system is so profoundly powerful, nothing can afflict them. When administered to the body, the compounds found in their immune "factory" which are called "ALKOXYGLYCEROLS" or AKGS, dramatically boost both bone marrow production and in turn, white blood cells. These are the leukocytes which the body uses to fight all viral infections. Interestingly, AKGS are also found in one other place, and that is the breast milk of nursing mothers and it is there to protect the newborn child until the immune system fully develops.
Take 9 gelcaps daily. 6 gelcaps at breakfast, 3 at lunch. This regimen will be decreased as illness subsides

*ADULT WOMEN ONLY  BALANCED WOMAN 40-PLUS FORMULA. Keeping the hormonal system nourished is also vital to rebuild homeostasis. This formula boosts production of both Estrogen and Progesterone and helps re-establish the "harmony" that the auto-immune disease has taken away.
Take 4 capsules daily, 2 with breakfast, 2 with lunch.

*ATOMIZED THYROID FORMULA. Key to all immune system dysfunction is addressing the endocrinal system which orchestrates or "manages" all functions throughout the body. Invariably we have found that Auto-immune disease sufferers are severely deficient in thyroid function. The thyroid and the thymus gland are the major organs of the immune system. Modern medicine's answer, to use a dangerous synthetic drug such as Synthroid does not fix the problem, in fact it could make it worse with the side effectual damage. This extraordinary formula was devised by Edgar Cayce over 65 years ago. The biggest message is of the importance of the thyroid gland and also of its triggering element, Iodine. The actual formulation as given to Cayce is now available exclusively from Wayne Garland's Master Formulas and the results from all patients taking it have been extraordinary.
Unless told otherwise follow this dose regimen: 3 drops 3 times a day in purified/filtered water for 5 days.  Then go to 5 drops, 3 times a day for 5 days. 
Then rest for one day and restart at the 3 drops dosage and then move to the 5 drops dosage and restart again Alternate this pattern for the optimum restorative thyroid gland.

* IONIC LIQUID SILVER WATER For the first month take 1 Tablespoon three times a day. This will help the liver function more fully and fight any bacteria or yeast (Candida) that exists, which is very common in Auto-immune Sufferers. At the end of that month start 1 teaspoon twice a day thereafter to help regulate the immune system for 3 months or if viral illness should occur

* GERMANIUM. Germanium is another amazing mineral compound that the body uses to produce interferons. These are very special elements that devour viral infections in the blood. Take 150mgs -1 Tablespoon three times daily.

*SOLARAY TURMERIC. Get this at a good health food store. This is an ancient Ayurvedic Medicine anti-inflammatory. Take double label dosage.

*ESSIAC TEA. This is a famous "underground" treatment for all degenerative disease, in particular immune system dysfunctional diseases. It was discovered by a Canadian nurse, Rene Caisse who was given it as a gift for her cancer clinic by the North American Indians. It contains a special combination of herbs that are a very powerful on inflammatory conditions, Lupus, Cancer, Leukemia and Arthritis. Order it online from www.vitacost.com  and get it wholesale. If buying it from a health food store make sure you only buy the brand with the sepia photograph of Rene Caisse on the side. There are many knockoffs and not as powerful
Drink 5 mugs a day with black honey for sweetener.

*SOLARAY MEGA B VITAMIN COMPLEX. Get this at the health food store. High Vitamin B factors are needed to support the liver and also reduce stress to the body. Follow label instructions for the first 20 days and then double the dosage levels.

*EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE. This is of prime importance. Get out and walk briskly or jog lightly for 45 minutes every single day. Even if you are tired and exhausted, the action of walking will wake your body back up again. The oxygen pumping through the body stimulates the life process. The immune system is jumps tarted into action. Circulation increases also which is vital. The threshold to reach each day is 45 minutes, this is when the bone marrow really starts to pump out into the blood. Do not miss a single day of doing this part of the program.

*WATER, WATER, WATER. Keeping the body hydrated is necessary to remove toxins and poisons from the liver, kidney and tissues. Drink 64 ounces of filtered/purified water every 24 hours with the 2 to 3 drops of liquid mineral drops added to each glass.

*STOP ALL PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS/TOPICAL OINTMENTS OR OVER-THE-COUNTER. Over medication with pharmaceutical drugs is often the reason Auto-immune diseases gets their first start in the body. Try to wean yourself from all drug medication over a one month period so you are only using the formulas recommended. Do not do this "cold turkey" without informing myself or your herb knowledgeable physician, as some drugs can have horrific withdrawal symptoms to the point of death If on several drugs take it slowly so the body is not jarred by the sudden change.

*BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. AVOID these at all cost. Also AVOID - Penicillin, allergenic cosmetics and photo toxins from ultra violet rays as from tanning booths. Any of these can cause a flare up of Auto-immune diseases.

*SUNLIGHT. Get 15 minutes of early morning sunlight on the total naked body if possible to generate Vitamin D production within the body.

*SLEEP. Make sure you are getting at least 8 hours sleep per night. If you have trouble sleeping get our Tolerance_Formula.htm and take 3 or 4 one hour before bedtime.

*TAI CHI. This is a gentle, zero impact exercise and philosophical regimen that has great success with Lupus and Arthritis patients. Find a class near you and try it. The results will amaze you.

CONCLUSION. The program outlined above, while intensive at first, rapidly becomes second nature and easy to follow. Also can be gently integrated into your lifestyle if you are not ready to go full force... The results achieved have been exceptional by those patients who have stayed the course, and implemented as many of the recommendations as possible.
