Michael Jackson did many interviews with Oprah Winfrey in different years. Likewise he gave

an exclusive interview to Oprah Winfrey on February 10, 1993 about his skin disorder disease

vitiligo. He gave many explanations about treatment and clarified many miss concepts which

were popular among the population.



Michael Jackson on Vitiligo:

Oprah: Llet's go to the thing that is most discussed about you, that is, the color of your skin...is most obviously different than when you were younger, and so I think it has caused a great deal of speculation and controversy as to what you have done or are doing, are you bleaching your skin, and is your skin getting lighter because you don't like being black?

Michael Jackson: Number one, as far as I know of there is no such thing as skin bleaching. I have never seen it, I don't know what it is.

Oprah: Well they used to have those products, I remember growing up always hearing "always use bleach and glow", but you have to have about 300,000 gallons.

Michael Jackson: OK, but number one, this is the situation. I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it's something that I cannot help, OK? But when people make up stories that I don't want to be what I am it hurts me.

Oprah: So it is...

Michael Jackson: It's a problem for me that I can't control...but what about all the millions of people who sit out in the sun, to become darker, to become other than what they are. No one says nothing about that.

Oprah: So when did this start? When did your...when did the color of your skin start to change?

Michael Jackson: Oh boy, I don't....sometime after Thriller, around Off The Wall, Thriller, sometime around then.

Oprah: But what did you think?

Michael Jackson: It's in my family, my father said it's on his side. I can't control it, I don't understand. I mean it makes me very sad. I don't want to go into my medical history because that is private, but that's the situation here.

Oprah: So OK, I just want to get this straight, you are not taking anything to change the color of your skin?

Michael Jackson: Oh God no, we tried to control it and using make-up evens it out because it makes blotches on my skin. I have to even out my skin. But you know what's funny, why is that so important? That's not important to me. I'm a great fan of art. I love Michael Jacksonangelo, if I had a chance to talk to him or read about him I would want to know what inspired him to become who he is, the anatomy of his craftsmanship, not about who he went out with last night....what's wrong with....I mean that's what is important to me.





Oprah: How much plastic surgery have you had?

Michael Jackson: Very, very little. I mean you can count on my two fingers. I mean let's say this, if you want to know about those things, all the nosey people in the world, read my book Moonwalk, it's in my book. You know, let's put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.

Oprah: Mmmm, I think you might be right.

Michael Jackson: I think I am right. It would be empty.

Oprah: Did you start having plastic surgery because of those teen years because of not liking the way you looked?

Michael Jackson: No, not really. It was only two things. Really, get my book, it's no big deal.

Oprah: You don't want to tell me what it is? You had your nose done, obviously...

Michael Jackson: Yeah, but so did a lot of people that I know.

Oprah: And so, when you hear all these things about you, and there have been more...

Michael Jackson: I've never had my cheekbones done, never had my eyes done, never had my lips done and all this stuff, they just go too far...

Oprah: Are you pleased with the way you...

Michael Jackson: I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am.

Oprah: And so when you look in the mirror now and see the image that looks back at you are there days when you say I kinda like this, or I like the way my hair...

Michael Jackson: No, I'm nev...

Oprah: ....or I'm kinda cute today...

Michael Jackson: ...(giggles)...cute today....no, I'm never pleased with myself. No, I try not to look in the mirror.

LEUCODERMA Its Homoeopathic Treatment Dr. S.R. Wadia

Vaidyaratna Dr. Chndrasekhar G. Thakur: Vitiligo or ‘Shweta Kusta’ is most misunderstood as far as Ayurvedic scientific treaties are concerned. Popularly called ‘Safed Dagh’ or Leucoderma is never mentioned in Ayurveda as ‘Kusutha’ (Leprosy).
Far from it, in Ayurveda18 types of Maha Kushta (Leprosy) are mentioned. The panicky fear is due to word ‘Kodha’. In fact for white patches, which is pigmentary disfigurement, Ayurvedic is upveda or 5th veda. Branch of Atharva veda which dates back to 1500 B.C. or more. In Atharva veda swetha Kushta is referred. Later on Charak in general and Sushruta in special referred to this in detail and use of BAVCHI-Ens Purple Flenbane – or (Psoralea Corylifolia) is mentioned. The Bavchi is used externally as well as internally both. Col. Chopra and Dr. Basu used and have the opinion as fellows:
“So far as is known P. Corylifolia is the only drug which has a dduel action on both Roagets cell and the melanoblastic cell of the skin. In Leucoderma….M. Cell…. And their simulation by Bvachi oil leads them to from and exceed the pigment which gradually diffuse into the discoloured areas” –says Choprs. Where Dr. Basu says, “The oil of Bavchi changes white skin, gray hair, discoloured skin to normal colour within 3 months and that is well tried and prescribed.”

I have since 40 years of my medical practice tried combination of Bravachi. Chaulmogra and Tuwaraka oil, for application and orally I prescribe Ayurvedic blood purifies, and especially ‘Arogyavardhini’ which contains Tamra Bhasma (Purified copper oxide).

"Vitamin B-12 and folic acid, levels of which are decreased in vitiligo, are important cofactors in the metabolism of Hcy. Consequently, a nutritional deficiency in either of these two vitamins will result in an increase in homocysteine in the circulation, a finding that we expect to find in vitiligo.
