Dr. James Nordlund is one of the world's experts on vitiligo and a frequent contributor to the NVF website and newsletters. He and Dr. Seung-Kyung Hann have edited this comprehensive text with contributions by twenty-seven authors. Published in 2000. Available on Amazon.com (click here).

Dr. Leopoldo F. Montes, a longtime friend of the NVF, states "this is not a book to be read quickly by patients expecting to get a lot of their pigment back immediately. If the treatment of vitiligo worked like that, dermatologist would seem like wizards. This should be regarded more like a reference book to which physicians and patients can reach for information and support. It shows that often it is possible to detect and correct a nutritional problem, and thus find ways to help regain the skin color and halt the spread of vitiligo." While placing emphasis on the use of nutritional substances and vitamins, he seeks to help others alleviate their suffering as he is doing with his patients.
