Medical Medium Healing From Hashimoto’s & Vitiligo
The Medical Medium website and Books, by Anthony William, have changed my life. A friend introduced me to his first book called “Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal”. I ordered the book and could not wait to start reading it. What I did not realize was that this was going to be the most important book I have ever read.
If you know me, I am a science geek. I love learning about the body, human anatomy, nutrition and how the body works at the cellular level and of course fitness. Reading every new health and weight loss book to stay on top of trends. By trade, I am a Holistic Health Practitioner as well as a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer.
Epstein-Barr & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Let me give you my health background so you understand where I am coming from. As a teenager, I was diagnosed with Mono-Neucleosis not once but twice. Then in college, the diagnosis was Epstein Barr and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I went from doctor to doctor trying to find out why I was so tired and run down. The doctors could not figure it out. Until I went to one doctor in New York City who told me to change my eating habits and put me on a regiment of supplements. After about 3 months I felt better than I had in years.
Life continued and I went on to have my first baby. When I was 9 months pregnant I lost my father, the rock of our family. Needless to say, it was a sad and stressful time. Not long after that, I lost my only brother to complications from the disease Hemophilia. My world felt out of control. You can read my whole story here.
Shingles Rash & Fitness Competitions – The Outside Does Not Match The Inside
After my third child, I was out of shape and overweight and decided to join a gym. To make a long story short I transformed my body and life. I was in the best shape of my life. I started to compete in figure competitions which entailed strenuous exercise and clean eating. But my body was talking to me and I broke out with the Shingles rash across my back. I will never forget being in the best shape of my life on stage at the prestigious “Arnold Sports Festival”. What the heck was going on!
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Throat Nodule & Vitiligo
I could feel my body starting to slow down. My energy was not where it used to be, I was dragging. How could that be I ate so well, juiced, drank green smoothies and new so much about health and nutrition. The Doctor diagnosed me with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and a nodule on my Thyroid and wanted to put me on medication. Taking medicine is not my thing. I would figure out how to heal it myself naturally.
Then one day I lost the pigment in my skin on both of my shins, across my throat, chest, and parts of my forehead, cheek, and chin. I freaked out! The areas were biopsied and the Dr. said it was Vitiligo. The answer I kept getting from Doctors was that I had an auto-immune disease and my body was attacking itself. Oh heck no I said to myself!
As you can see my body is starting to heal. The Vitiligo on my face is nearly gone and the spots on my chest and neck are starting to fade. Something I thought would never happen.
**My shines with Vitiiligo before in 2015 and after 2018 following Medical Medium
There was a great question asked by a reader. Wanting to know if it took me 2.5 years for my vitiligo to start clearing up. Here is my answer:
This photo was taken in 2015 when my vitiligo first appeared. When I came inside from spending time at the pool I saw large white spots on my shins, face, and chest. Needless to say I was a little freaked out. Immediatly I want and had a biopsy done to see what was going on. The Dr. diagnosed it as Autoimmune Disease & Vitiligo. The Dr. did not know what to do or how to cure it and sent me on my way.
I fell into a mild depression and gave up on doing a lot of the things I loved like making exercise videos and being in the public eye. I bought a lot of long dresses, and large necklaces and tried to cover everything up and live my life, thinking there was nothing I could do. Looking for help/cures online but nothing really helped or was just way too confusing.
I bought Anthony’s first book in April of 2017. It took me a few months to get on board and in the last 8 months, I have done the protocol that I list here on the blog post, supplements, healing teas, heavy metal detox smoothie and CELERY JUICE. Plus yoga and increasing the amount of fruit I am eating.
Vitiligo
“Medical research and science are unaware that vitiligo is caused by a virus such as HHV-6 or EBV feeding on aluminum and traces of formaldehyde in the liver and elsewhere in the body, releasing an aluminum-based dermatoxin that, when it enters the skin, destroys the melanin pigments inside skin cells. This is what leads to the white spots and other discolorations that occur for someone living with vitiligo. It is not the skin’s immune system attacking the skin pigment. It is a real illness with a real cause. Aluminum byproduct can float around the bloodstream, waiting to interact with an underlying viral infection, due to something as seemingly minor as your last fluoride treatment at your dentist office (fluoride is an aluminum byproduct). Eventually, science and research will catch on to the effects of viruses and heavy metals on the skin but for now, this information is unknown.”
~Anthony William
It did not take me 2.5 years to start seeing progress, it was more like 8 months of following the Medical Medium Protocol and being CONSISTENT.
Everyone was asking me for more photos, especially on my face so I found some. Here you can see my chest and neck where the spots are starting to fade.
In this photo, you can see the spots on my chin, left side & right side of my nose, very faintly in this photo you can see my forehead and my hairline have white spots.
Medical Medium – How I Started To Heal My Body
When I started reading Anthony William’s book “Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal I could not believe what I was reading. It was as if he personally wrote this book for me.
He explained what the Epstein-Barr virus is how it progresses in the body. It can lay dormant usually in the liver for years until a stressful or traumatic event happens (competing/weight training & death of family members) when your immune system is at its lowest and then it takes hold even deeper. For me, it progressed into the Shingles Virus, then moved into my Thyroid where my body tried to protect itself by walling off the Epstein-Barr virus creating a nodule to protect itself.
- Mono
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrom
- Epstein-Barr
- Shingles
- Hashimoto
- Vitiligo
No doctor, or holistic practitioner was ever able to explain all the symptoms and why they were happening before. Except for “Spirit” and Anthony William.
My Body Was Not Attacking Itself It Was Trying To Protect Itself
My Healing Protocols With Medical Medium
Healing protocols are going to be different for everyone. Being a holistic health practitioner I was already gluten-free, eating my fruits & veggies, dairy, and soy-free. The first thing I did was to take out eggs. They are a food that the Epstein-Barr virus loves to eat! Yes, I said eat, they eat foods and love heavy metals.
In his first book, Anthony has a 28-Day Healing Cleanse & Healing Meditation Techniques that you can follow. His second book Life Changing Foods Book is off the charts amazing. It’s not a recipe book (though it does have recipes) it describes healing foods, how they work in the body, their benefits, emotional support they give and the spiritual lessons they teach.
Team Celery Juice Tank Top
This is the #teamceleryjuice tank that I am proud to wear (the writing is celery juice green). You can get one from my lovely friend @KatieMoonstone in Instagram and her website TeamCeleryJuice
1. CELERY JUICE
If I had to pick one thing to start to implement it would be juicing celery juice. It has made such a huge difference in my body. When I first started juicing it I could only do a little at a time. But now I have grown to love, respect and appreciate what it does for my body.
“Celery juice is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory foods because it starves unproductive bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, and viruses that are present in the body and flushes their toxins and debris out of the intestinal tract and liver”. ~ Medical Medium
2. WILD BLUEBERRIES – Heave Metal Detox Smoothie
The second food I would highly recommend incorporating into your diet right away would be WILD BLUEBERRIES. Not the kind you find in the plastic clamshells at the grocery store. Those are cultivated blueberries similar to farm-raised salmon. I get my wild blueberries in the frozen food section of the health food or grocery store. Wild blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, they have the highest proportion of antioxidants of any food on the planet. Plus they taste amazing!
Sample Day Of Healing Meals
Fruits & Veggies should all be organic if possible and budget allows.
- Upon Waking – I drink a very large glass of lemon water. This helps detox the liver.
- Pre-Breakfast – 16 oz pure celery juice. I use the juicer below
- Breakfast – Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie (watch the video below) sometimes I add a vegan protein powder
- Mid-Morning – 1 piece of fruit (apple, orange, pear or melon), celery sticks, a few dates or figs, and raw pumpkin seeds if I am still hungry. Or a banana with almond butter.
- Lunch – Large green salad with veggies, homemade dressing. A sweet potato or baked potato plain. Sometimes I will eat wild salmon with veggies.
- Tea – I drink healing herbal teas all day long to support my immune system
- Mid-Afternoon – It may be another Heavy Metal Detox smoothie or fruit with celery sticks or my favorite Raw Crunch Bar.
- Dinner – Large homemade vegetable soup, or a large green salad or a raw dish like my zucchini noodle bowl. Or try my Sweet Potato Spaghetti Recipe.
- Evening Tea – I choose from one of 4 different herbal teas that specifically help with my ailments. Licorice root, cat’s claw, nettle leaf, or raspberry leaf.
- PM Snack – Orange, apple or pear
3. Herbal Healing Teas Recommended By Medical Medium
Healing herbals teas are also a staple in my daily healing routine. Please don’t underestimate the healing benefits of herbal teas. This is a list of the teas I use. I rotate them and choose what tea is calling to me that day. You can find a whole list of recommended teas and supplements on the Medical Medium Blog. I love lemon balm and use loose leaf lemon balm and mix it with a tea bag of Cats Claw, Raspberry, Nettle Leaf or Dandelion tea.
Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie Video
Follow along and make a detox smoothie with me. This is from one of my Facebook Live videos.
Supplements
I started slow with the supplements and slowly added more to my regime. I tried to list them in the order I started taking them. On the Medical Medium website, you will see all the supplements Anthony recommends. Pick the supplements that call to you and your current health issues.
Here are the supplements I use and take today.
-
- Thyroid Health Kit – Detoxodine Iodine, Selenium & Vegan Safe B-12
- Ionic Zinc
- Sovereign Silver
- Ester C

You Can Heal Your Body
This blog post would be way too long if I kept going and telling you all the things I have done and learned by reading the Medical Medium Books. If you are tired of being sick and tired of not getting to the bottom your medical issues. Then please make it a priority to read these books. I truly know and believe you will find the answers you have been searching for here in these life-changing books. Read them, soak in the information, listen to Anthony William on Hay House Radio, his website MedicalMedium.com & his show on the Sound Cloud App
I Had Given Up On Healing My Body
I walked away from my popular YouTube health & fitness channel because I did not have the energy anymore. Having the Vitiligo on my face and body I also did not want to get on camera anymore. My symptoms may be mild compared to yours. I know you can heal your body. Will it take work? yes. Will it take dedication? yes. But you can do it. I believe in you.
What Hashimoto’s & Vitiligo Has Taught Me
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt my family, friends and my social media family love me because I am me. Not because I have spots on my face but because I am me and that will never change. Just like you are beautiful and amazing just the way you are.
Did you know there are fashion models with Vitiligo? Visit @WinnyHarolow on Instagram. She is absolutely gorgeous!
Cover Girl makeup featured their first-ever model with Vitiligo in a new ad. My point is don’t let anything hold you back from being who you were meant to be. The world needs you and your amazing gifts and talents.
So go out there baby and SHINE, SHINE, SHINE.

Grace Zhang
Dear Linda, I was diagnosed with vitiligo two weeks ago. I also have hashimoto since 2018. I was following medical medium protocol for two weeks (celery juice and heavy metal smoothie in the morning). However I just found a new white patch on my neck. Medical medium asks me to eat a lot of wild blueberries and fruits.. I did a little bit of reach, says vitiligo should not take blueberries. I’m a little confused.. is that the reason i got new patches? should I stop the heavy metal detox smoothies for now? I look forward to hearing any advice from you. Thanks so much.
Laura London
Hi Grace. Thank you so much for reaching out. I do not believe that it is the blueberries of the heavy metal detox smoothies that are causing new white patches. I know there are is a lot of information out there and it can be very confusing. I have a book that I would also recommend reading by Morley Robbins. It is called Cu-RE Your Fatigue: The Root Cause and How To Fix It On Your Own. https://amzn.to/3TOAlem I saw him speak in person yesterday. I am always learning and researching and I think this may be the missing link so many of us have been searching for. Please keep me posted on your healing journey.
Becky Moore
Hi there, I too have hashimotos and just started the detox. My acupuncturist says to limit my animal protein consumption but I am into fitness and hope to build muscle. I noticed you are into fitness and did fitness competitions, have you limited your protein intake? What do you recommend if ID like to body build?
Laura London
Hi Becky, There are many vegan and vegetarian body builders & fitness competitors in the world. They get their protein from plants, fruits, nuts & seeds as well as Vegan Protein Powders. Here is a great movie “GAME CHANGERS” to watch to really understand how you can be plant based and fit with muscle. https://gamechangersmovie.com/
You can also add green drinks like Spirulina to your diet. Just think of an animal like a gorilla who only eats plants. They are full of muscle from the plants they eat not meat. You can also add in BCCA’s Branched Change Amino Acids, which are the building blocks of protein. Look for good quality sources. Such as https://nakednutrition.com/products/bcaa search and see what companies resonate with you. Always find the cleanest products with no artificial sweeteners, chemicals etc. I hope this helps.
Melise
I just read your post and it was quite helpful. I noticed vitiligo patches on March 2020 and it has gotten better but recently with the passing of my mother it has gotten bad again. I too have endocrine adrenal and thyroid symptoms. I’m taking ayurveda as I currently live in India and it has been helpful but I do feel medical mediums nutritional protocol is wise and very beneficial. Currently I swim daily to combat the stress but looking forward to getting back into working out. I’m glad youre healthy now. Thanks for sharing your experience. While I’ve always accepted this vitiligo appearance, as I’ve done the inner work to love myself as is, it will be nice to heal the skin. I live in a tropical country and need the melanin as a natural skin protection. 🙂🌴 Best wishes!
Laura London
HI Melise. You are doing all the right things. Stress and diet both play a huge role in vitiligo and any auto-immune issue. Keep up the great work. I have been to India, it is a beautiful country. All the best.
Seema
Hi Laura,
I’m in the early stages of vitiligo but it has spread quite a lot. I started the celery juice cleanse a week ago and Heavy Detox Smoothie yesterday. I also bought three of the MM’s books, which are fantastic. I know patience and consistency is key, but I wanted to ask at what point in your journey did your vitiligo stop spreading? Also, did you have vitiligo on your hands?
Thank you,
Seema
Laura London
Hi Seema. That is great, he has so much great information. Yes, being consistent is key. Also do you meditate? Meditation, relaxing, de-stressing can help the body tremendously too. So maybe two years, it was gradual coming on and then gradual reducing. It is not 100% gone on my chest but it is lighter. I did not have it on my hands, it was on my shins, chest and face.
Connie Heller
I have had health issues from day one and now am 65! Years doctoring, also trying some alternatives to just have issues worsen… mainly chronic D and tons of food intolerances. Last alternative treatment with kinesiologist for a year to rid me of parasites was a fail. One treatment, involving tapping on tailbone has me itching every night (his scans were positive for parasites but also burned out adrenals, liver and gallbladder needing correction). After a total year and no resolve, I found the MM. Been on his protocols over two years but no affect on the itching! Had some issues heal like balancing low blood pressure, heal dry eye and eczema!!!!! But still having loose stools.
I also noticed last year a few spots that didn’t tan on lower neck. This year, as itching is relentless, found a wellness group that endorses the MM and had a bioenergetic testing to show EBV and many strains of streptococcus . A bundle program offers me a vit. D light therapy that very nicely tans my body! I noticed large and small white spots luckily in my bikini area or undie area in front!!!!! I do the HMDS, and other protocols.. The testing I had done also tests what my body accepts for suggested supplements! Again a couple for adrenals and other for pathogens/strep. Also Vimergy B12, zinc and Detoxidine(iodine). So shocked to see these spots show up since doing the D light therapy. I will need to consult with the therapist I am working with! These viruses probably have begun in me for years, my stress levels are high due to no support to try these alternatives along with the plandemic and false info with this covid! I do not want that whackseen! All these alternatives/supps costs money that spouse does not understand/accept and a constant battle! Conv. docs could not give sneers or find a drug to halt my D. Every day is a struggle.! When J read the first book of the MM, I was shocked how his answers resonated with my issues since a child! Makes so much sense!!! But all these years these viruses/bacteria’s have resided in my body… they wish to stay and guessing is going to be quite a fight! Any suggestions you might have as you healed your vitiligo? (I was taking l-lysine, Micro-C and was on lemon balm and one other but worsened the itching!).. Thank you!
Laura London
Hi Connie. I am so sorry you have been having these problems for so long. I know how frustrating it is when you can’t make them go away. Sounds like you are doing a lot of great things to help. One more thing I would add in, and it is free is meditation. When your body is in a constant state of stress it is not able to fully heal. Clearing your mind, slowing/ stopping the chatter in you head is so important. The heartmath.com institute may be a great place for you to start if you are new to meditating. You will put your body in rest, digest and REPAIR mode. Also check out Dr. Joe Dispenza he is amazing bringing the mystical of meditation and the science together to heal the body.
Sandra
Buna Laura,
Thanks a lot for sharing your story.
I have had vitiligo for 10 years, 4 years ago I kept a strict diet and I reversed vitiligo and cover many spots, but I did not continue the diet and they depigmented again.
I have been on the diet again for 5 weeks now, but it is very difficult to keep it strictly. (Celery juice, metal detox smoothie, cut out sugar, eggs, dairy and gluten)
My question is if the diet you propose (sample day of healing meals) should be kept only one month as strictly as a detox or did you keep it for 8 months every day to see results?
Laura London
Hi Sandra. Great questions. First, you did it once, so you know it is possible to do it again. Consider changing your thinking and make this a way of life. Meaning you live this beautiful lifestyle 80% of the time and then 20% of the time you enjoy. When you have auto-immune it really is important (even if you don’t) to live like this. The more you can incorporate fresh, fruits, veggies and clean lean proteins, animal or plant based the better. I would add in, and it is free is meditation. When your body is in a constant state of stress it is not able to fully heal. Clearing your mind, slowing/ stopping the chatter in you head is so important. The heartmath.com institute may be a great place for you to start if you are new to meditating. You will put your body in rest, digest and REPAIR mode. Also check out Dr. Joe Dispenza he is amazing bringing the mystical of meditation and the science together to heal the body. Our thoughts directly affect our bodies. Change your thoughts/energy change your life.
patricia ferreira
i’ve just read liver rescue and cleanse to heal. i have vitiligo and lots of it. there is hope for me yet.
Laura London
HI Patricia. That is awesome!! It will take work and consistency, just keep moving forward every day knowing you are on the right path. I am here if you need me. Make sure to listen to the Medical Medium audios on the Sound Cloud App. Great to listen to in the car while you are driving.
Haley Williams
Thank you for this! I am 21 and have been in deep depression since my recent diagnoses with vitiligo and haven’t even read my Medical Medium book I bought the week of my diagnoses! I opened it this morning and then found this blog. You are amazing & have inspired me.
Laura London
Hi Haley. I understand what you are going through. My heart goes out to you. The fact that you have gotten the book and are seeing that there is hope to heal is key. You are not alone in this, there are so many going through the same issues with Autoimmune and Vitiligo. Take the time to read the book, and let the information set it. Start with the heavy metal detox smoothie as well as lemon water in the morning. Then when you are ready add in another protocol. Slow and steady, one day at a time. You are headed in the right direction. I am always here if you would like to do a consultation where we can dive deeper into your health and issues and create a more detailed plan. Keep me posted on how you are doing. https://lauralondonfitness.com/product/fully-vibrant-woman/
Suzy
Hello Laura,
Thanks for all the tips. I’ve had mild dermatitis for twelve years now, and I noticed a few white patches a few months ago. I’m gonna see a dermatologist in july but I’d like to start the method. Which juicer would you recommand please? I’ve never used one.
Thanks!
Laura London
Hi Suzy. A great think for you to do would be to start with lemon water in the morning and adding in a heavy metal detox smoothie. Celery juice is also amazing. I have two that we really like the Breville Juice fountain is great for every day juicing. But if you are planning to do a lot of celery juice then I would recommend the Omega juicer which is much better for celery juice.

Sharon
Hi Laura, during your journey repigmenting did you depigment as well or did your Vitilgo stop being active while repigmenting . How long did it take to stop depigmenting once you started your journey to healing . I have been doing celery juice and I have changed my diet for the last 10 weeks . Still depigmenting but slow but only in certain areas. Under my arm and face is almost pigmented but my fingers are a challenge it still depigmenting.. Both my knees has stop depigmenting and it is not block white anymore it is get a bit of color . I am just praying it stop soon so my fingers can repigment . I know fingers are the hardest area to repigment, I have introduced some of the medical protocol like lemon water, celery juice , wild blue berries ( in the pack) nascent iodine colloidal, spiirilina and a few other supplements . It is very expensive for me to add everything so I am doing your top choices. Can you enlighten me if glutathione makes you depigment, I am also in Perimenopause which I feel a bit of anxiety and hot flashes during the day, Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Laura London
Hi Sharon. I am just seeing your comment now. The iodine helped me greatly to eliminate the hot flashes I was having. You are doing a great job and the fact that you are starting to see some repigmenting is huge. Two – three things I would add if it fits your budget are healing herbal teas such as Lemongrass, Nettle Leaf and Dandelion. You can alternate them. I would also add in the essential oil Frankincense Essential oil. I use this one: https://www.davinawellness.com/product/frankincense-sacra-essential-oil/ref/lauralondonfitness/ I put it on my thyroid/neck and pigmented spots. You may also want to add in L-Lysine in the future. It can help with a system that has a heavy viral load. https://amzn.to/2Zj0gja
Please keep me posted on how you are doing. Stay healthy & safe.
Sharon
Hi Laura,
unfortunately I would love to drink lemon water but I am rush for time in the the morning . So I just do 12 oz of celery juice and then wait 30 minutes then have breakfast. When would be the best time during the day to drink lemon water and would I still have to same benefit or should I have this before I go to bed. Would lemon water damage my teeth enamel?
Regards
Sharon.
Laura London
Hi Sharon. Fresh squeezed lemon water is the best. But, I always have lemon water on hand in my fridge. I take a caraf or large pitcher with a lid and fill it with water. Cut up one lemon and keep it in the pitcher. Drink the lemon water in the morning or throughout the day. Refill the pitcher with water and that one lemon will last 3 days. Drink lemon water whenever you can.
Drinking it anytime is helpful, but first thing in the morning is especially effective for cleansing your liver, which works while you sleep to gather and purge toxins from your body. When you wake up, it’s ideal to hydrate and flush these toxins out with this activated living lemon water.
By adding fresh squeezed lemon juice, you “wake up” the water and bring it back to life. This allows it to travel more deeply into your tissues and cells and carry the essential nutrients and compounds you need in order to thrive.
Contrary to popular belief, lemons and lemon water are excellent for oral health including your teeth. They are highly mineralizing and loaded with calcium. Fresh lemon kills the bad bacteria in your mouth that causes tooth decay. They may taste acidic but they are highly alkalizing in your mouth and body.
Sharon
Hi Laura, I have Vitilgo. I started juicing but they are NOT organic . How should I wash my vegetables, Fruits and celery. I was told not use vinegar. Thanks
Laura London
Hi Sharon. There are a few things you can do. You can make your own home-made veggie wash like this: Mix a solution of 1 cup vinegar to 4 cups water and add to a spray bottle, then add a tablespoon of lemon juice. Shake well to combine. Place your fruit or vegetable in a colander in the sink. Spray it liberally with the mixture, then let it sit for two to five minutes. Rinse off the mixture thoroughly with cool water, using a vegetable scrub brush on thicker-skinned produce.Pat dry with paper towels.
Or you can use an organic spray wash like this one: https://amzn.to/3bCxgHK
Tom
Hello Laura,
Thank you for giving hope to everyone suffering from vitiligo.
I discovered medium medium few days back and started with Celery juice.
I am going to remove eggs and milk (my source of protein) as mentioned in medicals mediums book from my diet.
Is it good to take organic protein powder?
Few months back I was taking it regularly and a month later or so my Vitiligo patches increased all of a sudden. So I’m cautious now and worried too. I saw your video you are taking it as well. But I’m still worried even if it was a coincidence but I can’t think of anything else that I changed during that period. Also do you know of any source which can verify this info that organic protein is ok for Vitiligo. I appreciate your response. Thank you.
Laura London
Hi, I am glad you found me and the Medical Medium. He is amazing and healing people across the globe. Everybody and every body is different. I would suggest taking out the eggs and dairy. I do use a vegan protein powder in my smoothies sometimes. Right now I am using a protein powder that is almond-based called Noosh. You can find it here on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2RBYEMM I don’t use it all the time but occasionally. I would try a protein powder, but if you think it is aggravating the Vitilio then I would stay away from it. Increase your intake of whole foods, which also have absorbable protein.
I love working with clients one to one on their health challenges. This gives us the opportunity to dive deeper into your past health history and create an action plan. Rebuilding your health requires the right foods, supplements, and lifestyle tweaks for your unique body. I would love to work with you now or in the future. When you are ready you can schedule a consult here: https://lauralondonfitness.com/product/fully-vibrant-woman/
Please keep me posted on how you are doing.
Julie Pedersen
Thank-you for this article. I’ve had vitiligo for 20 years and just started accepting that there wasn’t anything I could do to reverse it. I have been juicing celery for a year, cut out eggs, mostly gluten … I’m motivated to do even more by seeing that your pigment has come back. It’s like a sign from the universe not to give up and push harder.
Laura London
Hi Julie. I know how you feel because I felt the same way. It makes you want to give up. But there are things that we can do to start to help detox our bodies and heal. I can only share my personal experience and share what I have done. You are doing great, keep the momentum going and please keep me posted on how you are doing. I am always here to help in any way that I can. xoxox
kim moore
Wow wow, this post is life changing. I have vitiligo that I just developed about six months ago. I couldn’t understood how I could develop such a disorder as an adult. Well I knew for sure that I was not going to take any PHARMACEUTICAL drugs. So I was looking for healthy ways to heal my body. Well thank you for this information . I have started my cleanse this week. Ill check back in six to eight months with a follow up.
Thanks Kim
Laura London
Hi Kim. I am so glad you found the blog post and are starting your healing path journey. Please keep in touch with me and let me know how you are doing and if you have any questions. I also do 1:1 coaching if you need help or guidance.
Alison
Laura thanks for sharing your story & giving us hope! I had accepted my vitiligo as genetic and unchangeable. I thought of myself as a work of Art & rocked it just fine. But then I learned that as much as I am proud of my ability to handle the emotions related to vitiligo, there being a potential underlying health issue was not ok with me. I’m on day 3 of the Medical Medium protocol.
My question to you is this: Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes)? Many of us with vitiligo are told to stay away from them but I’ve never read a good explanation for that.
Also, how did you personally choose supplements? He lists so many on the site.
Blessings,
Alison
Laura London
Hi Alison. You are a beautiful work of art inside and out. The Vitiligo is a symptom of what is going on in your body, just like mine. To answer your question yes, I eat nightshades and tomatoes. The whole nightshade “conspiracy” is not true. Tomatoes can help to stop cancer cells from multiplying. They can help reverse diabetes and help heal the liver. They are a powerful food that supports the immune system. It is usually what is eaten with the tomatoes that give people problems such as pizza. It’s not the tomato sauce it’s the cheese and gluten that are the problems and the poor little tomato takes the blame.
Keep me posted on your progress and let me know how you are doing and if you have any questions.
Jessica parker
Thanks! These are great tips! One of the things that I have incorporated into my daily routine that has helped me a lot is iodine supplements. I take it everyday, and it has helped with my metabolism so much! I definitely recommend everyone tries it out. we cannot make iodine on our own and it is essential for our thyroid, so I have seen a difference since incorporating iodine into my diet!

Laura, thank you so much for sharing your healing journey. It’s so very inspiring to me and after reading your post on Medical Medium’s page today, it has given me some hope. I just purchased the first book and I’m just letting the information sink in (as it’s contrary to so much I have heard over the years). I am hesitant in making the diet/nutritional shifts…. and appreciative of any insight you have. For years I have lived off 100-calorie whey protein shakes. As you can imagine, I don’t think that has helped my “Mystery Illnesses” … quite the contrary. However, with food eliminations and suggestions from doctors about eating no-carbs, that is what my diet has become… 3-4 shakes a day with some veggies and a veggie burger for dinner. I still eat keifer but have stopped eating eggs. I have the “fear of fruit” Anthony speaks of. I eat maybe 5 apples a year… that’s it. No bananas, no berries, no melon…. nada. Warding off candida and concern of weight gain were the dominant reasons. So Laura, any pointers on making the transition from eating low calorie meals to 3x that (i.e. smoothie), eating more fruit, less protein… all while not gaining fat but gaining muscle? Thank you for your insights, it is empowering to see your success with this type of protocol while maintaining a fit and strong.

Hi Kerri. Food from Mother Nature is love for your body. It will nourish every cell in your body. I would suggest reading his book from cover to cover and listen to his audios on Sound Cloud. Switch your whey protein shake to a vegan brand. You can see the brands I use on my Amazon Store page: Amazon.com/Shop/LauraLondonFitness Fruit is a must do add in what you love, don’t be afraid of it. You need the carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals that are carried in the high water content of fruit. Add in the detox smoothie and lemon water in the morning. Start there and be consistent for 2-3 weeks. Then add in celery juice. Start with 4 ounces and then increase. Doing these things will start to heal your body. What you have been doing in the past will not help your body to heal and become stronger. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. I also work with people one on one to help guide them.

Hi has sun helped you repigment? I researched and it said that a high vitamin b and iron help? I used to take a combination vitamin before and my spots were covering but not fully.
Laura London
Hi. The vitamin D from the sun going through your eyes such as in the morning or late afternoon is the best form of Vitamin D for your body. It sets off a host of chemical/hormonal reactions in the body. Personally, I would not take Iron. You can listen to this Connected Body Podcast Interview with Morley Robbins of the Root Cause Prototcol and learn more about the benefits of copper in the body. I highly recommend reading his book too. https://lauralondonfitness.com/morley-robbins-the-root-cause-protocol/

When you make the Thyroid healing tea are you using a tea bag? The recipe calls for:
2 cups of water
thyme
fennel seed
lemon balm
raw honey
I don’t see anything about a tea bag
Laura London
I use loose lemon balm tea leaves and then I add to that a bag of cat’s claw or another tea. I like to alternate the teas. They all are beneficial. One day it may be lemon balm and fennel or licorice root. There is no right or wrong. The best thing is to drink any of the tea combinations daily.

I Good information Had vitiligo for about 40 years .I”m 70 years now and the last year it has gotten all over me . Tried lots o of things nothing seems to work. Will try this. Thanks
Laura London
Hi Helen. The medical medium and the protocol that I used here has helped me so much. Read his book because it truly will be life-changing for you. He just did a webinar on Vitiligo. I will see if I can add it to this page. Please let me know if you have any questions. I also work with people to help them put everything together to make it easy and doable.

Hi, I was reading your information on vitiligo and it seems interesting. My son, now 9, began developing vitiligo about a year ago. I’ve researched some and just came to your site. Much about what I have read suggests that blueberries should be avoided because they affect skin pigment. I see you’ve had much success with the detox smoothie and was wondering if you came across any literature regarding blueberries and vitiligo. Thanks for any info you can provide.
Laura London
Hi Maria. WILD blueberries are excellent at detoxing heavy metals from the body. There are two kinds of blueberries the kind we find at the grocery store in the plastic clamshells. If you cut them open they are white inside. Wild blueberries are deep blue all the way through. Now both are good for the body but the WILD blueberries are the most powerful and what you want to be using. Blueberries DO NOT affect skin pigmentation at all. They are a superfood and the body know exactly what to do with these amazing little berries. Wild blueberries are KEY in helping to heal the body especially if you have vitiligo.

Thank you Laura for sharing your knowledge and healing. I was happy to find your site since I am very similar to you. I have hashimotos, vitiligo, IBS, and chronic fatique syndrome and had a bad case of mono as a teen. I also love bodybuilding but lost all drive and energy to move. I would get out of breath just walking up one flight of stairs. I thought I was eating healthy avoiding sugar, (avoiding fruit because I thought it was high in surgar), dairy, gluten, eating organic, etc., but just wasn’t enough and kept gaining weight up to 200 lbs. Finally, I found the Medical Medium books and the answers I needed. I have been on the protocol for over a month, drinking celery juice, making detox smoothies and following the recipes, and I can not believe the difference in my energy level, I have energy back and motivated to exercise once again. Hoping to see results with my vitiligo, but learned to live with it. The main thing is to live life to the fullest, finally at 52 years old. I look forward to reading more of your blog and watching your videos. I want to start a blog as well, healinghashi.com, hopefully, showing some progression, and helping others with this since no one should have to live with these symptoms. Please keep in touch and THANK YOU!!!
Laura London
Hi Kathleen. I am so happy to hear you are starting to feel better and following the Medical Medium protocol. It truly is life-changing. He is doing a show on Vitiligo Monday, June 25th at 5 PM EST. You can listen at http://www.hayhouseradio.com I am so glad you found my blog. I am always posting more workouts, recipes, and interviews. I think you should start your blog! Go for it. You can be fit and fabulous at any age. Keep me posted on your progress.
Okan
Hello,
It says July 2015 on your before picture and Feb 2018 on your after picture. So did it really take 2.5 years for you to make progress on your vitiligo? Have you been drinking celery juice every morning for the last 2.5 years? If not, could you please write down what exactly did you eat/drink/take and for how long you did it, so that we can do the same and have some idea on the healing time? Otherwise, despite doing the exact same things, people end up giving up because they think they don’t see any results in 1 month.
Thank you!
Laura London
Hi. That is a great question Okan. I took the photo in 2015 when my vitiligo first appeared. I was out by the pool and came inside and had these white spots on my shins, face, and chest. I went from Dr. to Dr. had a biopsy to confirm Vitiligo. They did not know what to do. I just kind of gave up for a while. I was depressed, I bought a lot of long dresses, and large necklaces and just tried to cover everything up and live my life, thinking there was nothing I could do. I looked for help/cures online but nothing really helped or was just way too confusing.
I bought Anthony’s first book in April of 2017. It took me a few months to get on board and in the last 8 months, I have done the protocol that I list here on the blog post, supplements, healing teas, heavy metal detox smoothie and CELERY JUICE. Plus yoga and increasing the amount of fruit I am eating.
Lutchmie Chand
Hi Laura,
I know messages come to us when we need it. I happen to listen to a audio recording this morning by clicking a link on FB which talked about Lectin. I then Googled the Medical Medium and discovered he talks about autoimmune diseases. I was so happy to see Vitiligo on the list. My boyfriend has been suffering with Vitiligo for the past 4 years It’s taken over his face and hands. He has tried many things, but he now believes nothing will ever help him because everything he reads says ” there is no cure for Vitiligo” He has see several Doctors including a holistic Dr. There is also mixed messages about what to eat or not eat that can make it worse or help the white spots fade. He currently lives in a different country, but will relocate back where I live in the U.S. hopefully within the next few months. At this time I will love to start to help him realize that he can get rid of Vitiligo and feel GREAT about how he looks and feels. I loved seeing your before and after picture, I would like you to post pictures of other area of your body and face so I can show him more proof that you healed your body. I would love your help. I will be upfront and say funds are very limited for any additional supplements and organic food, I am a single mother of 7 years and bascially had to start from scratch a few years ago after I lost my business and house as well as losing my husband. I would at least buy the most important supplements for him. When he comes back to the US he will need to find a job, and that may take a while, so I am willing to assist until he gets on his feet. Please let me know what book to buy and the first things to do. He eats everything and loves all kinds of meat, fish, and veggies. Cutting meat out of his diet will not happen, also he drinks alcohol and I think he may also resist cutting that out as well. Thank you for sharing your personal story.
Laura London
Hi Lutchmie. The Medical Medium is helping so many people to improve their health and heal their bodies. There is hope to help heal and possibly reverse some and maybe all of the vitiligo. I am not an expert on this but can only speak from my own personal experience. I too had given up after going from Dr. to Dr. Until I found the Medical Medium. Reading his books and listening to his audios has been life-changing. I do still have Vitiligo on my neck and chest but they have faded a little. I am still a work in progress. I will see if I can find those before photos too. I would suggest getting Anthony’s first book and start with juicing celery juice 4-8 ounces a day. Next step is to add in the heavy metal detox smoothie. Keep me posted. Sending healing energy.
Liz Booth
Hi Laura,
You were mentioned on a Medical Medium’s Instagram post that you have healed your Vitiligo.
My Vitiligo started last April on my forehead and has progressed to my abdomen. I just started reading
Life Changing Foods and Thyroid Healing. I have already taken gluten, nightshades, nuts, seed , been, grains, soy and fruit out of my diet. Some of the Thyroid Healing protocols seem to be very daunting. What is the best place to start? If I just did the celery juice will I see any healing? I would love your advice.
Laura London
Hi Liz. Let me clarify I have improved the vitiligo spots and my legs and face. I do still have them on my neck and chest which is closest to the thyroid. I am still a work in progress. I wrote this post so people could see what I have personally been doing to help heal my body. Yes, the first thing to do would be to start with 4-8 ounces of the celery juice daily. I sometimes juice at night and then will have it ready in the morning. I know fresh juiced is the best but not always doable. So think no right or wrong just doing your best. The second thing would be to add the heavy metal detox smoothie. I just posted a video of myself making it on this blog post. Add back in fruit. Fruit is very healing, anti-viral, full of anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals that the body needs. Keep me posted on your progress.
Fatima
Hello,I just get result that I have vitiligo. I do have hashimoto as well.
I bin juicing celery for past two weeks.Now I need to add more supplements and detox juices.
After reading your story ,I have hope. Thank God for Medical Medium.
Laura London
Hi Fatima. You can heal from these “Mystery Illnesses” be consistent with the celery juice and the detox smoothie. Then you can start to add in other protocols like healing herbal teas and supplements. You got this girl! I am here for you. I will be adding more info to the blog to help support Hashimoto & Vitiligo. Stay tuned.
Vaishali
Thank you so much. There was a reason I recieved your post today on instagram via Medical Medium. I have few spots of vitiligo and few have healed completely. However what are remaining will heal this year I believe. I am starting to read the book from today and check with you if I need any help. Thanks Laura.
I’m Vaishali Potadar from India.
Laura London
Hi Vaishali. I am so happy that your Vitiligo sports are healing! Keep doing what you are doing. The Medical Medium book will help you a lot and I am here if you have any questions.
Michelle
So glad to see you’ve written an article on your Medical Medium protocol journey! Its very encouraging ? I also love his books and soundcloud podcasts. I also follow a very similar drinking/ juice/ eating schedule. I didn’t go “whole hog” until this year. I have two resources for oil free dressings. If you have any favorites to share that’d be fantastic.
Laura London
Hi Michelle. I am glad you found the article on my Hashimoto and Vitiligo healing journey. Love his podcasts and he now does FB live videos every Sunday at 10 am. Please share your oil-free dressings with us. That would be lovely. This is my favorite raw breakfast cereal: https://lauralondonfitness.com/healthy-raw-breakfast-cereal/
Tracie
My daughter (11) has vitiligo. For the last 2-3 yrs, we have faithfully tried various diets such as grain free/sf, dairy free, vegan oil free/ sugar free. She has seen a chinese herbalist and taken countless herbal medications. Nothing has helped and it has spread all over her body. I tried juicing organic carrots etc every day. I get so many mixed messages of what is the “autoimmune” diet!! All this is so interesting!! Which book would you reccomend me buy and read first ? And also, how long did it take for you to notice your pigment coming back? I feel hope finally!! Thanks, Tracie
Laura London
Hi Tracie. My heart goes out to you and your daughter. I like your daughter has tried so many things. There always seemed to be something missing. The Medical Medium is the missing link. I would recommend you start with his first book Medical Medium – Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal. This was the starting point for me. I can’t even express in words how much this information has changed my life and I have been on a 30 year + journey.
The original photo of my legs was taken in July of 2015. I honestly thought there was nothing that could be done. I have not posted my face & neck yet. I ordered his first book in April of 2017. So it has taken a year to get where I am today. I already ate healthily, but adding in the celery juice, detox smoothie, eliminating eggs, drinking herbal teas and adding in supplements for my issues were the kicker and most of all “Believing That I could Heal” was half the battle. I had given up. This is my email [email protected] please feel free to email me and we can discuss this more.
I would also suggest listening to his audios. I use the “Sound Cloud” app on my phone and listen to the Medical Medium all the time. The information and knowledge you will learn is priceless.
Alexa
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for posting this! I am 25 and I am hypothyroid and have had vitiligo since age 16. I am doing the medical medium protocol (about three weeks in) and am having major histamine reactions and issues. I can’t tell if this is detox or if I have a major histamine imbalance to these foods. What were your detox symptoms? I as well, are a clean diet a year before doing this (no dairy, minimal corn and eggs, no gluten, or sugar). Thanks so much!
Laura London
Hi Alexa. What protocol are you implementing. Sometimes it is best to start with one, and then slowly add in another to make sure the detoxing and body are able to adjust. If you need help I can guide you. I do one to one coaching where I can create a more detailed plan and dive deeper into your symptoms. https://lauralondonfitness.com/product/fully-vibrant-woman/
Take it one day at a time and know you are headed in the right direction.
