Re: white spots on arms, legs etc

[Guest guest]

I have a friend who developed vitiligo as soon as she

was put on thyroid hormones (she has Hasimoto's).

She was taking levothyroxine sodium 25 microg. Still

does and vitiligo has been slowly spreading.

It could be because these extra hormones depleted her

of something she was needing.

Since she has never taken iodine, could be the lack of

iodine induced by the extra T4.

I do not know as I am not an expert. Just thought it

was interesting for you to know this.

Hello All! In regard to the spots on your skin - I had this years ago when my Hashi's initially cropped up but it did abate once I got my dosage "correct" w/Armour and I took vitamins daily for a while. I've read that it's due to a copper/zinc inbalance which was verified w/blood work. Your zinc stores may be depleted which is common w/thyroid disease. Zinc to copper ratio should be approx 10:1 in blook serum. Hope this helps! LibbyLibby Beckwith Realty Executives 480-947-8888 www.libbysellsazhomes.com "Selling Arizona Homes One Yard at a Time"

Same experience here.

I had the vitiligo for years before getting diagnosed

hashi's/hypo...and it was getting worse...but once I was optimized on

Armour, it stopped the process.

Dr. Rind, an endocrinologist, says it's a sign of adrenal fatigue.

Hi Libby,

What i'm wondering now is can iodine cause a zinc or copper imbalance.

I've read some one have success with compounded 'B' vits, and another

taking aloe vera. I also read somewhere that it is definately not

caused by a mineral/vitamin deficiency but i'm not entirely

convinced. I'm taking liquid minerals at the moment, and i plan to

take a hair mineral test soon, although it doesn't give you up to

date info. There must be some sort of imbalance going on, and i want

to get to the bottom of it.

I have had these white spots on my arms since I was about 10 years old. they never go away.

Hello ,

How have you been lately? Do you have Hashi's? I can't remember. I

just found out that I do. I wondered if that had something to do with

the spots.

If you find a way to get rid of these things let me know. I have a

ton of white spots on my right ankle and up halfway up my shin. Just

the right one???? I have had them lightly in the past, but are way

worse now.
