  • Has anyone with vitiligo here had autism symptoms as a child or a diabetes connection? I feel it is connected to diabetes/cancer and will attack the organs. Read about the cancer fungus connection. Just connecting the dots. However, my grandmother appeared to have it and she was diabetic and blind. She never had cancer.

  • maybe one day he'll become white lol

  • wow man u are my inspiration becuse my daughter have vitiligo and i live in small town and its dificult to live whit vitiligo but now iam happy

  • yes i look like a monster

  • Interesting how this was aired Jan 4 2008, a year & half before Michael Jackson died. Also Michael had been publicly speaking of his Vitiligo since the Oprah interview in 1993. Yet to this day he is still being slandered and accused of bleaching his skin to be white. Stupid media and the sheep that follow their every word.....

  • wow. he is so awesome. i'd love to meet him just to tell him how great he is

  • Comment removed

  • People make this as if having vitiligo was a crime. Thomas is a brave and excellent man, it must be a difficult situation, granted but hey, only the rude idiots will make fun of him.

  • what a great man :)

  • Bless those of you who have vitiligo. You are very brave, and don't ever let anyone make you feel bad. You are beautiful people.

  • lucky he has good makeup... no one would be none the wiser wearing that in public

  • He looks a little like Turk

  • OMG ! this is happening to me !!! :(

  • @msms47 it is?. God Bless You:}

  • @chadissmexyyeah ty :(

  • @msms47 whats ty?

  • @chadissmexyyeah stands for thank ou

  • @msms47 oh haha Your welcome:}

  • I have a friend with this condition.

  • this guy rocks and he is a likeable person, good luck to him

  • see now We gotta believe Michael Jackson...Vitilago is real. the difference is MJ's was so fast that it would be impossible to cover it with make up (which He's done during the Thriller era) then it got out of hands so they had to make the whole body white...n I don't know if any of u guys noticed but there are some white spots in Lee thomas' head that makes him look bald.....so ppl the same thing happened to Michael He started to loose his front hair so He had to wear wigs....

  • this guy is so handsome! with or without makeup! 

  • Alhamdulillah(thanks God) we are health and yet complain

    you are nice person who have a good heart,,,,,,,,,,

  • Im 14 && have vitiligo . Actually it started with one freckle on my foot when i was 9 ... Then the more cuts and scratches i got from playing at the park with friends .. White would look exactly like the scratch .. Then it just exposed all over my body . It hasnt turned any of my hair white yet but it covers 58 % of my body .

  • @0RiSSAMARiE I read that if your hair is still dark, it's reversible. Try celery juice and go in the sun for short exposures. This could help--especially the celery leaves should be juiced.

  • this man has incredible strength and looks incredible kind. That being said i think it would be really cool if his gf was albino

  • i believe vitiligo starts from hands and a swallowing on one of your fingers...do anyone of you people having vitiligo have swallowing in your fingers by any chance like mine?

  • @SuperSHEEDATALLI

     define swallowing I have vitiligo too.. and I do have white spots on my hands..

  • @ferminarellanohn its like your distal interphalangeal joint in your finger grows thick so that it becomes visible to you

    and gradually all of your finger become like this

  • @SuperSHEEDATALLI well I do have a large one on one of my fingers... and several 2mm spots on random places.. in my hand, arms, chest, pube.. the largest one is in my face covering about 50% of my right cheek, nose, and about 20% of my left cheek..

  • @ferminarellanohn how long have you been in this condition

    i mean at what age you got vitiligo

  • @SuperSHEEDATALLI Do you mean "swelling" instead of swalllowing? Like inflammation?

  • @SuperSHEEDATALLI I have vitiligo. What do you mean by swallowing? I started having small white spots on my fingers.

  • im 14 and i have vitiligo . its started at 9 . and THEY HAVE A TREATMENT . its a lazer treatment and it Doesnt hurt ... it works litlle by day .

  • vitiligo is a horrible disease.. I have it and don't wish on anyone.

  • Imagine what it was like to MJ

  • There was a girl in my High School class who got Vitiligo from an early age, Nisa...you are so brave.

    People would say she was burnt as a young girl, but as we grew older we understood it more.

  • And this is what MJ had.....Open your eyes people...It's real

  • very strong man beautiful inside and out God bless

  • Not to sound racist, but he would be quite good looking as a white guy too. He will look Italian with his brown eyes and thick lips.

  • (Cont) People DO stop in mid sentence when they see you-to stare and try to figure out what's wrong with you.

    What would it be like to have a common cold and go out in public with vitiligo ( dark to light or light to dark patches). Could you imagine how people would react to you? Possibly like you should be on the hospital since 'whatever is causing your cough/cold is apparently eating your flesh too?' even though it's not true...

  • I am white. In order to understand this I have to think if it like this...

    I wake up one morning to notice dark brown patches on my hands. In time it spreads. It is not even in tone. It makes it way to my face within aprox a year....Can you imagine what that would be like?

    People say 'dont worry about it' but the truth is that people DO stare. People DO think you have leprosy or some kind of flesh disease they will catch. People DO stop in mid sentence when they see you-to stare and try to f

  • Ive seen shit that can make you turn white!

  • There is much evidence to show that Michael Jackson suffered from vitiligo. MJ the GREATEST.

  • why did you remove my video response to Andre Anton and his lies and false statements?

  • please dont delete my video response to Andre Antone's false staements and incorrect info in regards to the Chaldean ethnicity. The Chaldean community is offended by his lies in his movie.

    thank you from the Chaldean Nation

  • Michael Jackson Is The Best.

    He had vitiligo!!!

  • what lee said is right, not just vitiligo but birth marks on whites probably wound`nt be accepted in our modern media

  • Check out the first HIP HOP Artist with Vitiligo, I am 19 years old with vitiligo but I don't let it stop me from doing whatever the fuck I want! Check out my page and please check out my music video to "Nina Ross", I think I have finally found out a way to make a negative situation and flip it around into a positive one... TEAM STREET!

  • OMG i love michael jackson <3

  • These days, who gives a damn.

  • what i don't understand is why if people are having success with products bought off the internet, the doctors aren't prescribing those products to patients. i asked my dermatologist this question and she said, if those products really worked then we would already be prescribing it. so frustrating, hopefully there will be a cure one day....

  • Its alarming for about 2 seconds, and then it doesnt look that bad at all. He certainly doesnt look like a "monster"

  • OMG! IT MAKES ME SICK HOW PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS GUY BUT THEY DIDNT BELIEVE MICHAEL JACKSON! UUUGGGHHH

  • @BIGGESTMJFAN4EVA micheal cover his so well they did not belive him and they think he bleached his skin

  • @bozzy446 well.....ya datz true

  • @BIGGESTMJFAN4EVA this guy has stains.... white stains... michael jackson definately had something different....

  • @linkdarksider Michael Jackson did have white patches on his face. Watch the Michael Jackson Face Morphing videos. You can see the white face patches on the picture where he's dressed like Charlie Chaplain.

  • @mspinchey Oh really? And then the white patches magically got unified with each other, and that ended up in a skin long-windedly white, like the stains merged together in his WHOLE body....

    Ohh... and don´t forget about the bone structure of his face... his features magically changed into those of a caucasian person!

    Magnificent!! Vitiligo is one of an amazing disease!

  • they dont believe michael because they have been spoon feed crap from the media for so long they cant accept anything else

  • @BIGGESTMJFAN4EVA cause maybe he didnt do the perm on the hair, plus the nose jobe, plus his cheek bones... etc etc etc... not criticizing is music though dont missunderstand me..... he was the king... awesome, but be objective...

  • @BIGGESTMJFAN4EVA yesssss!!!!I can only agree with you!!!! MJ was a huge target for them sadist´s:/...no matter what happened,it was always his fault in their eyes,but everyday people are treated fairly then....sickens me..

  • @BIGGESTMJFAN4EVA They believe him because he has classic vitiligo symptoms you moron. Michael just magically turned white one day

  • @JamusMC Or he just covered it like that dude did until the white skin covered more area than the black skin.

  • @JamusMC Michael didn't magically turn white one day. There are numerous pictures showing his skin fading in patches--just like mine did. Please don't comment if you know nothing about the disease.

  • I'm so glad that he spoke up about vitiligo. And I'm glad that he spoke positively about Michael Jackson. This man, along with my grandpa (who has vitiligo) is very intelligent, beautiful, and outspoken. RIP MJ... I always believed you!!!

  • I hope this desease will spread to everyone in the world.

  • @nadoeloiskat there is a recent picture of lee thomas and he actually suits white skin... will defiently improved his looks 100% when his face is fully white.

  • This was so sad! I feel awful for him and anyone else suffering from it, but he's such an inspiration to others :)

  • @lucyanna94 dont feel awful, hes looking great with white skin! He is actually good looking now! He suits his white skin. Im not racist, just telling the truth!

  • thanks for this inspiring video, currently i' am also having this skin disease for almost 28 years. I am now 28 and some changes happened in my life. The white spot increasing every day in my face. I felt depress but when i watch this video of lee thomas.thanks

  • He's charming, intelligent, good looking..

    Blotch or no blotch.

    I'd still date him.

  • I feel so sorry for him and Michael....1. For him because he has to deal with it the rest of his life and 2.People didn't believe Michael,that must have been awful trying to get people to understand that its real and happening but they just throw it back in your face!!! How ignorant are people,it makes me sick to think that i live in a society like this!

  • This is so sad.

  • this doesnt make u a monster or defrent i have the same think ppl that cant deal with this are monsters

  • even this troll can't bring himself to hit the dislike button

  • Turning into a monster..hmm, white people are monsters?

  • @marshall9doom of course he's not saying white people are monsters... but having both colours at the same time must feel weird... if you were black AND white im sure you wouldnt love the way you looked

  • @MiaMountainLover

    Yea, I know. In fact turning from brown/yellow to white and black is rather scary don't you think=/

  • A few years ago I found a website that mentioned vitamins that stopped the auto immune response that appears as Vitiligo. I tried it & used sunblock as some think the sun is a factor in causing Vitiligo. I was thrilled when the patches got smaller & disappeared. Only problem is I can't find the website & can't remember which vitamins I took. So I'm taking some vitamins & mineral supplements - there are tiny spots of Vitiligo reappearing. I'm trying to find the website again to get rid of it.

  • @thegrahames Youtube blocks urls. Try Double U, Double U, Double U "RECOULEUR" DOT you know what

  • @CCane am sure thats the vitamin he/she is talking about.

  • @thegrahames The ingredients are Vit C 500mg (ascorbic acid), Folic Acid 800mcg, B-12 1 mg(cyanocobalamin) ,Pantothenic Acid 250mg (as Calcium Pantothenate ), Zinc 15mg (as Citrate) and Copper 2mg ( as citrate). Also use a photolight NB UVB to accelerate it. You can go to Daavlin Light Co , thats where I have mine, the full body one. Ok, hope this helps, such a terrible condition to look at and affects the psyche.

    Peace

    B

  • @thegrahames iActually don't want to get a treatment. I am proud and not wanting to change that.

    I'm not afraid or ashamed to show it.

  • @thegrahames Hello,I'm 18 and a while ago I suffered a trauma,but now I'm really recovered.

    I realize that I have poor circulation due to anxiety,but I'm getting better.

    I realize the palm of my hand swollen and also under my feet.

    I heard it is rare to have vitiligo in these places.So I was wondering if you,the onset of vitiligo had a yellow color on the side of the foot?I am very worried as vitiligo, but I think this is just poor circulation.

    I have a pale color on the side of my foot. help me

  • @18praia If you're just now getting it, read Earth Clinic. They talk about what supplements some people took to reverse it. B vitamins, kelp, etc. Mine got worse after wearing shoes with metal on the sandals. Could have contained lead.

  • @thegrahames is a pale spot under the foot, and the more I rub, yellow is more, it seems that my blood is yellow ..

    and not just a small spot, is all around the foot, is like a brand of sneakers or some half ..

    Please say it is not vitiligo!

    Upon my mom everything is normal color, just below that is a little swollen. and this only happens when i feel anxious, so my feet are frozen due to poor circulation ..

    help me, says that vitiligo is not!

  • @thegrahames sorry my english..

  • Sure there is no cure.

    Medicine do not cure any shit disease.

    Medicine it's a near waste in that matter.

  • Lee,With or without make up, you are very good looking Man.

  • everyday is hard for anyone who has this disease,i am 33 years old and about 90% of my body is covered with white blotches and leaves your hair white and course and Lee is one brave man to be doing this.I have dealt with this for 4 years now it's difficult to deal with this on a day to day bases.

  • @JUKIO01 What are you smoking?

  • my dad has the same thing, i feel so bad for him...

  • I have white spots on my feet and legs, but that's the only place they are, does that mean I have vitiligo?

  • @gatheringleaves uhm go get checked out. it's a progressive disease... it takes awhile for the skin to change completely it may change in stages so if nothing happens no changes then i suppose u don't?

  • @gatheringleaves It might be. I only have it in two spots on my face. I'd go to a dermatologist as soon as possible.

  • I say he had it.MJ I mean.But he was embarrassed so he bleached it so he wouldn't have spots ya know??

  • oh fuck this racial crap. it's just a skin condition. this guy doesn't even look white. he looks like a black guy with a skin condition.

  • 4:45 LMAO!

  • actually vitiligo is a cosmetic defect, not a disease

  • @niksan908 no sweet heart. it is a skin disease. your either born with it or you can get it at any time randomly. i know because i have it && i was born with it. my mother, brother, grandmother, great uncle, great great grandfather has it. it runs in our family.

  • @cexiladi14 actually i have it 2 and i have gone through a lot of doctors and 90 percent of them refer to it as a cosmetic defect

  • @niksan908 a cosmetic defect? i was born with it...it's hereditary in my family..so how can it be a cosmetic defect? did the doctors even explain to you or did they just tell you that's what it is?

  • Hello! there is a cure. Dr fernando Morales in Guatemala has recently found the cure for vitiligo and allopecia. Its all related. Watch his videos here. only they're in Spanish. You don't have to go to Guatemala you just email your pictures. He will mail you the treatment. It will cost $100 for one month or 500 for 4 months.email curaciondevitiligo.dr@gmail phone 0115025502-3530 call in Spanish not sure they speak English. he will give you medicine, no natural remedies here.

  • @ea052986 stfu..these are peoples lives youre toying with

  • @ea052986 Funny.  I have vitiligo and my cousin has allopecia!

  • this is the history of modern people... actually europeans are antient africans who migrated to europe long time ago... homo sapiens is from afrika... period

  • his hands are white as snow

  • thank you for posting this

  • im just a kid and i got signs of vitiligo...i got like a blotch of vitiligo around my eye and my eyelid...damn when people look at me..i cant take this anymore find a damn cure!!!

  • @SoulfreshhPwns For now you can order these Tan Towels (just don't get it in your eye). They work great and last about a week. You can order them online, but they're expensive.

  • @SoulfreshhPwns Or you can start taking b vitamins and kelp. It comes in capsules.

  • You turn black if your white and have vitiligo. A wiggers dream

  • @Homestar951 That is not true. My husband has it and it reacts the exact same regardless of what race you are.

  • @Fotophaker37 Its a joke besides i've seen it where your skin can turn darker.

  • @Homestar951 you really have issues if you think this is a joke. real people have this hun..i have it smh

  • @cexiladi14 and? does this kill you if it doesn't kill you then we need to stop talking about vitiligo and start letting the world know of more serious diseases like Huntington's disease.

  • @Homestar951 wether it kills me or not that's besides the point. there are people who suffer mentally && emotionally from this. yea i feel bad for people who have other deseases but is my pitty helping them? am i a doctor can i find a cure? no so if you feel as though this is not a serous matter why are you on here commenting about it? you could be using that time to "let the world know about more serious deseases like Huntington's disease" Do us all a favor && leave the ignorance someone else.

  • @Homestar951 i tell u that all blacks that have migrated to north contries will in years ahed become white... races are related to the climate and enviroment... whites can become black if they go live in africa then generation after generation in svereal years they become darker and darker

  • @zelenko2 Wow. Evolution in "several years"? Better call up Darwin and tell him his theory is shot. lol! Sweety, that's not quite how that works. What happens is that people marry and add variety into their gene pool, which is why progeny gets darker or lighter. For example, Michael Jackson's father has green eyes from a European ancestor. Vitiligo isn't related to race at all. It's not even related to being Albino. It's a disease.

  • @whilome lol... i mean in generations... hellooo... years and years thousands and milions of years... when u say diseas u have to know why there are diseas... what are diseas... maybe evolution is mutation but kindaa slow mutation... if blacks alll migrate to europe or anywhere north... in some milion years or earlier they would not be black anymore... this is the history of todays modern people

  • @zelenko2 Okay. I think you get the gist of the theory of evolution. Organisms select for the best qualities of the environment they live in, so a white dude in South Africa might be the forefather of thousands of black kids in a millennia or so. But it's from all his kids and grandkids having sex with dark people. There's no dramatic skin color change in one generation. And, again, this isn't the discussion we should have in response to vitiligo. Vitiligo is universal.

  • @whilome yeah i know there can not be changes in one generation... but its funny with vitiligo... i havent studiedd enough about vitiligo... but diseas and mutations are things that are common to evolution... evolution is not that simple...

  • @zelenko2 That's not it. Do the research. It's because the langerhan cells malfunction causing the melanocytes to die. I truly believe it is a lack of stomach acid and stomach enzymes. Pineapple and papaya for everyone!!! Research it.

  • I have the same disease and when i first got it my friends where like whoa what happened and live in texas so summer would get real hot and i couldn't wear shorts cuz i felt sooo embrassed but i learned to deal with it i mean it doesn't really effect me &i get used to the fact of some ppl staring at me and all i have to remember is one thing: God doesn't care wat u look like he luvs u no matter what!!

  • God has answered our prayers. please watch the videos of Dr fernando Morales in Guatemala. He has found the cure for vitiligo and allopecia. since september he already has over 40 cases cured. Only they are in Spanish. They told me that you could go in person or you could just email your pictures. he only uses medicines no natural remedies. Its a little pricy but if it works its worth it.

  • How could anyone accuse MJ of wanting to change white? It's ridiculous, he was hugely famous for years with very dark skin, only a fool would intentionally change themselves to white-knowing full well there would be major backlash, media heat and people of colour feeling offended etc. Please....it's obvious MJ was a very bright man. He wouldn't do something that could harm his career.

  • @Whoozinga It hasn't harmed his career turning white. White people are huge fans. He was very proud of being black. There is a video out there that proves it, if you are a true fan.

  • freaking deases, bless anyone with all my heart who has that, it just isnt fare but it happends

  • see white people you are all sick

  • he has the curse of cain

  • Lee Thomas is a really brave, cool dude. It's awesome that he is using his situation to help others, and to educate the public at large about vitiligo. There's a lot of misconceptions and prejudice out there against those who have that disease. Great to have such an inspirational spokesperson. :)

  • the last sentence is the most important one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thx

  • it is indeed sad how the media portrays MJ he was a proud black man. this reporter believes this anchor but has questions about MJ having the kin disorder how sad a world we live in this man in the video is praised and when MJ told the world he had vitiligo no one in the press believed him how sad in indeed and hypocritical.

  • DAYM his girlfriend is HOT

  • proof that we are all the same, with only a difference of color and pigmentation. people need to quit be so damn criticizing about the color of a persons skin. we are all one race, the human race- homo sapiens, the only thing different from us is other mammals, not other people. how long is it gonna be before people relize that? am am Caucasian btw.

    im tired of seeing people hate each other over the difference in skin color.

  • -uhhh We Are The World and USA for Africa, anyone?

    Also I hate the way people say that Michael USED to be Black and say things like "When Michael WAS Black", Michael was always and will always be a Black man, no matter how much or how little pigmentation he had in his skin. People need to open their eyes to the evidence of this that they have refused to believe on too many occasions. And he didnt turn white either he just lost pigmentation.

  • -sang about a beautiful African woman in Liberian Girl

    -featured an African chant at the end of Wanna Be Startin Somethin

    -donated over $25 million to the United Negro College Fund

    -sang I aint scared of no sheets in Black or White and upped the ante by morphing into a BLACK PANTHER at the videos end

    -wrote a song called They Dont Really Care About Us, with a Spike Lee-directed video that featured prisoners raising the Black power fist

  • Exactly! Michael was an extremely proud Black Man! In a blog I read this and it gives a few more examples of the vast ammounts of examples of hoe proud Mike was to be Black. He -portrayed Black people as kings and queens in ancient Egypt (Remember the Time video)

    -called Tommy Mottola (his then label boss) a devil and a racist

    -sang White mans gotta make a change live on the Grammys in 88

  • amazing guy

  • Its horrible to think that people STILL dont believe that Michael has vitiligo

  • @streetlamp101 who ever doesnt believe michael has vitligo is just lame he does have it but people dont wanna believe it

  • MJ IS THE BEST

  • THERE IS CURE....i test it in serbia i brught cream and i use it and it work fine now i dont have thet f...ing sicknes

  • a man in iran with vitiligo using stem cell treatment

    search youtube" stem cell iran" watch video

  • @vitiligo11 i heared that stem cell cure dangerous is.you get krebs from it

  • its curiable in india

  • What is the cure plz tell me

  • In India they did a test with Ginkgo biloba and it supposedly helped. I don't know if that is true. There are also some cure on the internet but who knows if they are true

  • i have this god damn vitiligo too. I got it from my mother. She is all white. My skin is pretty dark, so every spot is very noticable. But fuck that shit. I don't have friends and people who would suport me, but i'm not hiding this shit. I suffered so much, that i don't care what one or other person may think about me. They are nothing to me. I just live in my small private world.

  • @kiesha86 i feel you

  • he is a great man, a winner... and gave us a lesson how to fight no matter what the situation is...

    i cant wait to read the book "turning white"

    brave person GOD bless you

  • i've had vitiligo since i was 6. im 17, it covers 20% of my body and it is really hard to deal with. im hispanic so it isn't as noticable as it is in african americans. there is a cure! mines use to be way worse until i lived in puerto rico for 3 months. i went to the ocean and swam every day. i stood in the sun and it somehow reversed. now it's going away slowly. same thing with my dad. he use to have it too and he was the one who told me to swim and stay in the sun. it really works!

  • What bothers me is this idea that being black or white is purely in the color of your skin. I've seen an albino woman of African decent, and she was still visibly of African decent. I've seen people who were of mixed heritage and paler than me, but their heritage was clear. You are what your ancestors were no matter what color your skin is.

  • srry man i pressed on the -1 button but you are right

  • very true. I was born in Canada but my heritage is Jamaican, Ghanian, and Scottish,... I feel connected to all of my ancestral background. It is so weird when people think that the colour of your skin is your heritage.

  • Ciudad de Guatemala, Encontramos la Causa y Cura de Vitiligo, es una Buena Noticia para Lee Thomas, por favor ver los videos del Dr. Fernando Morales de la Ciudad de Guatemala, Vitiligo Curacion en Guatemala....

  • This disease makes you turn whiter than white.

  • I would love to meet this man, it must take a hell of a lot of courage to show yourself on TV with vitiligo. he is real brave and an inspiration!

  • I have it, i've had it for six years, and at the moment its not progressive. I'm white and turning whiter and it doesn't bother me (at the moment) I feel lucky to be part of 1% of the world to have vitiligo, its only on my nuckles feet chin waste and eyes and i'm not going to hide my self, made it this long i can make it longer. except what you have don't hide your life away because of it
