Question

What was the cost of the Climatotherapy trip to the Dead Sea, Jordan with Professor Karin Schallreuter?

Answer

The answer can be found in this blog post. Please take note that these prices were accurate in 2014, they may have changed in recent years.


Question

What diet do you follow?

Answer

Over the years of attempting to manage my vitiligo, I’ve tried a number of different diets including paleo, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and probably more!

Right now, I am a vegetarian that on the whole, eats natural unprocessed foods. I can’t say it’s resulted in any repigmentation, but my vitiligo hasn’t gotten any worse since going vegetarian.

In my opinion, everyone’s diet is their own personal preference. Avoiding gluten also seems advisable whether you are treating Vitiligo or otherwise. Guru also believes some of his success is down to cutting out gluten.


Question

How much does the Dead Sea treatment cost?

Answer

I get this question a lot, and unfortunately, I’m not up to date on current pricing. But, for reference, I share the pricing I paid for Prof. Schallreuter’s treatment in 2014 here and I share the pricing of my own trip in 2016 in this conference talk I did on my return.
