Simon's Vitiligo Blog

‘Simon’s Vitiligo Vlog 01: Back to Jordan’ is now on Youtube!

I’m really pleased and proud to announce that my first Vlog is now published on YouTube. This is something I’ve been planning to do for months, and after many edits and restarts, and some help from my friends, the first one is finally live!

As I mention in the video, this is my first time trying anything like this, ever! I’m hoping to get better over time, be as informative as possible but also make the videos somewhat enjoyable to watch.

Hopefully, this series of videos will provide insight for those looking to travel to Jordan to treat their Vitiligo at the Dead Sea.

Please let me know if there is anything you would like me to specifically cover in my upcoming videos.

Everybody should do their own due diligence in treating Vitiligo and speak to qualified professionals.

Dead Sea, Vitiligo

I’m going back to Jordan!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be returning to Jordan in September for 25 days. It’s been a stressful year of many changes, both personal and from a career perspective and in turn my Vitiligo has gotten slightly worse. Plus, I could do with the down time!

I was going to wait until 2017 and go back for treatment alone, but by chance, the opportunity came to travel with a German group (no connection to Prof. Schallreuter as far as I can tell) called Vitiligo-Bund. All flights, hotel and medical center bookings are handled by Freimuth-Reisen, a travel agent specialising in Dead Sea trips. I believe I am the first person travelling from the UK as part of the group, and they’ve been really accommodating in helping me with flights and dates.

You can view details on the trip here. There are still spots available, and there has already been two sign ups from followers of my blog, so if you are interesting in coming along please email info@freimuth-reisen.de and reference ‘simonsvitiligoblog’.

I’m planning to publish some video content whilst on the trip to share the experience with followers of this blog. I’m keen to share my experiences and how it compares with Prof. Schallreuter’s trip to Jordan that I attended 2 years ago.

7 weeks and counting!
