Frequently
asked questions (FAQs)
Does
it really work?
The question 'does anti-vitiligo
really work' is apparently a very simple question,
but a very difficult to answer. This question
depicts the pain and suffering that a patient
has gone through in the search of relief, and
it hints at the distrust regarding medicines being
sold on line. Both are valid. There is so much
sub-standard material for sale on the net, that
it becomes vitually impossible to sift the right
product out of the garbage. But there are currently
no effective means to rectify such malpractices.
With this background in mind, it becomes very
difficult to give you reasons for believing us.
We can assure you about the genuineness of this
product but assurance is generally not enough.
We can only tell you that the reorder rate for
this product currently exceeds 45%. That however
does not mean that it shall work in every user.
This is because the complex mechanisms
of human body involved in disease generation are
still not fully understood even to the modern
scientists. We know a lot but we do not know a
lot more. Then there are biological differences
among individuals, races and regions which may
have a bearing on the disease and its progress.
We can hence predict the benefits
of a remedy, on statistical basis only. There
will always be people who will not respond to
a remedy that has been rated at the top in research
studies.
The same is true for AntiVitiligo. There is a
high probability that you will benefit.
Will it cure
my vitiligo (Leukoderma)?
As regards Cure in vitiligo(leucoderma),
Different people use the term »Cure«
in different context. Some use this term for complete
eradication of illness from the body, while others
are concerned only with repigmentation of the
existing spots.
If you mean complete eradication of the disease
from you system, that is a tricky matter. Vitiligo(leucoderma)
results from a derangement of your normal defense
mechanisms against infection. The body starts
producing antibodies against pigment producing
cells of its own skin. No definite causes are
known, but inheritance has a role. This is a generalized
abnormality of your immune system, and there are
currently no acceptable permanent means to halt
this process
The damage to pigment producing cells manifests
as patches of skin which have reduced or no pigment.
This is what bothers you, and this is where AntiVitiligo
Oil works. It currently has the highest rate of
success in this regard, and re-orders rate for
this product is now exceeding 45%. Once the pigment
has been restored locally, it stays there. There
have been no reports of local loss of pigment
after successful treatment.
How Anti-Vitiligo works for Leukoderma?
All herbal remedies derive ther
testimony from the history of their success and
safety in hundards of generations over thousands
of years (This is usually enough for most people
because they generally chose this option only
when they have had no luck with the prescription
medicine).
It is still virtually impossible
to offer scientific explanations for the mechanism
of action of any herbal remedy for any purpose.
The day such mechanisms are understood with certainity,
the remedy shall start being rated as a scientific
product in conformity with scientific principles
of modern medicine, as has happened with opium
and digitalis.
Is
it some thing Tatooing for Vitiligo
Tatooning is used as a camouflage
technique, but it is done with artificial pigments
which are injected into the skin. The accuracy
of color match shall depend upon the skill of
the person doing it. There are risks of serious
infetions spreading through tatooing as well due
to the general uncleanliness of the process.
Anti-Vitiligo on the other hand
brings back your natural skin color.
Can
it be used to treat vitiligo in small children
and pregnent women.
The product has not been specifically
studied for safety in pregnancy and in children
less than 5 years. Patients hwever have used it
during pregnacy and also in children as small
as 3 years. Majority of them have benefited and
none of them has suffered any deleterious effect.
Since the treatment of vitiligo(leucoderma)
can hardly be considered an emergency, we do not
reccommend its use in these high risk individuals.
You may use it at your own risk if you like.
Can I Use Sun exposure/ UV with Anti-Vitiligo?
All local medicines used for
re-pigmentation in vitiligo(leucoderma) are basically
photo sensitizers which differ in potency and
in safety. Sunlight/UV light will obviously increase
the response, but an occasional patient may show
an exaggerated response even to the gentlest medication
and get a skin reaction in the form of sunburns.
It is recommended hence that
you start using UV/Sunlight for a very short time
in the beginning on a limited area, and if the
response is favorable you can gradually increase
the exposure.
Can
i use sunblocks or makeup on the area under treatment.
All local medicine used for re-pigmentation
of vitiligo/ hypo-pigmentation, including Anti-Vitiligo
will need some degree of sun exposure for their
success (direct or indirect). It is hence preferred
that you do not use camouflage or sun blocks to
allow adequate exposure to sunlight.
Is
it babchi oil?
This statement
is partiealy true. It certainly contains babachi,
but it contributes less than 8% (w/w) of the formulation.
Babachi is a time tested remedy
for the treatment of vitiligo. But has its own
problems. Very few of the people can tollarate
it dispite being benefited. The challange hence
in using babachi is not the success but is the
acceptibility. Anti-Vitiligo has successfully
addressed this issue, that what makes it different
from babachi alone and other alternate medicines
fo vitiligo.
What
is leucoderma?
leucoderma/leukoderma is a synonym
for vitiligo presently being used this utterance
mostly in some countries of south East Asia such
as India, Sri Lanka and in the countries around
them.
Has
UV lihgt any role in vitiligo(leucoderma) treatment?
UVB and UVA are used in the treatment
of Vitiligo(leucoderma) as well as many other
skin disorders. Both can however cause skin burns
and local reaction, but many believe UVB to be
a potential hazard for skin cancer. See complete
article on uvb
light.
Why
I should avoid fish and meat?
Anti-Vitiligo is a refinement
of a traditional recipe and it is traditionally
recommended that you should avoid consuming highly
antigenic material like fish, meat and eggs.
Can
I marry a vitiligo(leucoderma) Person?
There is no medical reason to
prevent you from marrying a person with vitiligo(leucoderma),
because it is not a communicable disease and can
not spread to the spouse. It may also be important
for you to note that Vitiligo(leukoderma) shall not cause
any physical damage to the affected person as
well. The White skin patches are only a cosmetic
concern which may or may not lead to psychosocial
stress, and that is all!
Is
Anti-vitiligo is available as vitiligo cream?
Anti-vitiligo is a made according
to traditional wisdom and the whole preparation
process is oil based. So making it anti-vitiligo
cream form is not possible using the traditional
method. We are working on other extraction method
to extract the ingredients into vitiligo cream
form, but that is on early stages and there is
no estimated time of availability for that.
