Research By VR Foundation In 2015 :-
I Hope you enjoyed your summer. It's been a busy one for us at VRF, So there's lots to report In this month's newsletter. First, Let's talk about some news on early treatment diagnosis, which is of critical importance as early treatment produces better and long lasting results. Recent research has shown that a hand-held 'black light'. which is commonly used to locate stains around the house or find counterfeit currency , can also detect early-stage vitiligo. This is instead of a specialized wood's lamp, which is bulky and expensive.
Talking of research, Recently, we did some of our research into "traditional medicines' and other possible ethono-pharmacological shortcuts in the research for effective treatments. Indigenous cultures possess notions, to a remarkable extents, of how different plants can be used to treat skin diseases. Of course, plant treatments need to be approached with caution, given issues of possible toxicity, so we have published an FAQ section on this subject on our website.
Now for some support news.Larry (A.K.A Spotty) King Has recently launched vitiligomatch to help the community. This social site is a place where people with vitiligo and their friends and supporters can chat, exchange photos and generally 'fell at home'. Make sure you take a look.
Thank You.
