I received an email this morning from the Institute for Pigmentary Disorders in Greifwalds, the clinic run by Prof Karin Schallreuter to say that they are closing for good from January 1 2021:
The PC-KUS combined with Jordan climatotherapy helped me tremendously in repigmenting some of my vitiligo a few years ago. I’m sure the programme has helped countless others and so it’s sad to see it’s closing down and treatment will no longer be offered.
From the letter, it looks as if the PC-KUS cream can still be ordered from Prof. Schallreuter although it’s unclear if you need to be an existing patient in order to purchase.
Update – November 2020
The Institute for Pigmentary Disorders sent out a follow up email containing answers to some frequently asked questions, including ordering PC-KUS cream and Anti-OX capsules:
Alternative way to treat your skin at the Dead Sea
Those who are familiar with my blog will know that I’ve visited the Dead Sea for climatotherapy treatment a second time without going with the Institute for Pigmentary Disorder’s group and not using PC-KUS. And still received some success in repigmenting my skin.
The Dead Sea Spa hotel has it’s own Medical Center, and there other groups that attend for different skin treatements including vitiligo.
Freimuth Reisen GmbH is a travel agent based out of Germany that are dedicated to providing travel/accommodation for treating skin conditions. I used them for my trip back to Jordan in 2016 and had a good experience.
I enquried about returning to Jordan in 2021 and received the following repsonse:
