h-pylori, the only cause of vitiligo

Dear Dr. I was diagnosed with vitiligo recently and I came across a book which was actually the only source that provided a root cause for autoimmune diseases. To summarize; the book explained how low stomach acidity caused by H-pylori causes incomplete digestion of food with resultant absorption of large undigested macromolecules into the blood. The blood then produces a widespread antibody response. The widespread antibody response may destroy healthy cells causing autoimmune diseases such as vitiligo. The malabsorption of food also causes deficiency of vitamins such as vitamin B’s and minerals such as zinc and cooper.

The book makes a reference to a Southern Medical Journal 38(4):235-240, April of 1945 which states 90% of Vitiligo patients had little or no stomach Acid, 95% of Alopecia patients had little or no stomach Acid, 100% of Lupus Erythematosis patients had little or no stomach Acid, 89% of  Psoriasis patients had little or no stomach Acid, 85% of Urticaria patients had little or no stomach Acid, 74% of Eczema patients had little or no stomach Acid, 87% of Acne Rosacea patients has little or no stomach Acid. The book suggestion on how to kill H-pylori is to acidify the stomach by taking sufficient (large) dosage of Betaine Hydrochloride capsules according to the degree of tolerance for an extended period of time until the stomach is re-trained to produce sufficient acidity. The blood may be conditioned to produce antibodies for several years even though the h-pylori are killed and the acidity is back to a normal level. Patient may not see improvement until the blood antibody response reverses itself and stops producing antibodies. The book is written by A. Schenk, MD.

I think this is an interesting theory and worth considerable attention from the medical community and from the researchers. According the book; currently the researches are focused towards a totally wrong direction such as gens, stem cell and so on. As a vitiligo patient I am trying to raise awareness about this new theory which is vastly unknown to the medical community. I hope someone in the medical community see my plea and conduct research on the link between low stomach acidity, h-pylori and the vitiligo. For a dermatologist the research is easy. All he/she has to do is to test the acidity level of his vitiligo patient and the fact will speak for itself. The test could be done with the use of PH capsule without inserting a tube through the nose.


Best regards,

I had three H-pylori tests, all negative.

Still on the Pantothenic Acid and vitamin B-PABA. Only 3 months, Vitaligo still looks the same.

you are right, But H-plyori can be found in the stomach and also different places near the stomoah! one test mean nothing... To determine If you have it or not you need to do 3 tests!
1-Blood Test.
2-Breath Test.
3-Stool Test.

Hope this Info will help!

Pantothenic Acid (capsule form)  is the other to be taken in addition to B- PABA for vitaligo.

There are sudies that show cerain B vitamins can stop and reverse vitaligo. B-PABA (a folic acid?) and one other not so common B vitamin are the ones needed.

I just started B-PABA, see if there is an improvment 6 months from now.

Had a second H-Pylory test, again negative. Not everyone with vitaligo has H-Pylori. I would say moe common is some type of digestive deficiency- goes with a lot of autoimmune issues. H-Pylori is just one.

أI want to say something here... This study done way back in the 40's.!!! and its true for one reason... (at least its a good reason for me!) No one in my family have vitiligo and I had it last year! ... Couple months ago I read this article in different website and I asked my self ... What would I lose if I made the breath test and blood test? so I done its and I found out ..bamm! I have HP 12 time more than the normal!!
If i will be cured from vitiligo then I will sue every dermatology in the world from hiding this truth because imagine if every vitiligo patient will be cured... How much money doctors will lose??
Vitiligo affect 1% to 2% of the population and see how many people will have vitiligo? or Alopecia? each treatment between Laser and supplement cost a lot... I done all of them! ( Laser treatment for 15 minuts cost $200 and the cheapest oil supplement coast $80 ) imagine how many sessions and oil crap you need? not counting the diet food that most likely is more expensive than the junk food!
My point is No dermatology Dr. will help you to establish this study because they live on people like you and me.... I wish from every one to support this study.
wish all of you the best
p.s sorry for the grammer mistakes!

AMAZING, MAKES COMPLETE SENSE !!!!

I can totally relate to what you say.My daughter who is 9 has the exact same condition. As an infant she had GERD, then she had H-Pylori now she had Vitiligo.

Looks like her stomach acid is very less. Which just like 'enzymelover' has mentioned lets the undigested food protein into the blood stream causing all these problems.....

AMAZING FIND.....
