Hello everyone,
My Relative’s daughter who just turned 5 has spots of depigmentation which started at 4.5 yo and is spreading now — areas include right side underarm, right side eyelid, and base of back of neck.
According to literature, including Ayurveda and TCM, what helps:
black seed oil topically 2x daily
increase vitamin D orally or by sunshine
vitamins (a,c,e)
minerals (zinc, selenium)
b-vitamins (specifically folate, pantothenic acid)
Giving up wheat, dairy, soy
Giving up gluten
According to TCM, it’s a deficiency in liver, kidney; blood and QI stasis/disharmony with long list of herbs that might help… licorice was ther only one I recognized
According to Ayurveda, turmeric and mustard oil topically might help.
The diet:
Mostly whole food diet
Grass fed meat a few times a week (with liver mixed in ~2-3 times a month)
Regular cow milk mixed with camel milk and collagen
Grass fed cheese
Fresh fruits
Everything at home cooked in coconut oil or butter
Dark chocolate, brown sugar, coconut flour, raw honey
Half Store-bought bread with palm oil and lots of additives, half the time homemade bread
Outside junk food (1-2 meals per week during social gatherings… pizza, chicken nuggets, fries).
Supplements on and off: elderberry syrup, k2, black seeds, nutritional yeast in small amounts due to inhalation hazard, manuka honey.
The only thing different in lifestyle is that she is getting a little less sleep than usual because she started school and has to wake up 6 am …. So some days she is sleepy. I’m wondering if that triggered an autoimmune response?
They are trying to increase nutrients in diet and applying black seed oil topically. they haven’t cut out bread, but have reduced it, since she eats mostly clean, they don’t want to get too restrictive unless a blood test indicates allergy or something.
They really really do NOT want to give her steroids or UVB lamp therapy.
Does anyone have recommendations on which lab tests they should order to try to get to root cause?
thanks everyone
