C theory: What it is and what it is not
C theory has proved to be an invaluable resource for people investigating their vitiligo and we know that the second edition will bring even more clarity and direction in terms of how to approach solving the vitiligo puzzle. That being said, it is important to distinguish between what it actually is and what some people might want it to be.
1. It is a clear starting point. The intention is to give some clues and general hints as to where energy and attention can be spent constructively so the individual is removing randomness and potential for wasted time.
2. It is not medical advice. There is nothing in C theory that should be used to ignore, overrule or undermine real medical advice. This is not the point of the text. We do not support using it as a basis for direct vitiligo treatment.
3. An easy way to open your mind. The mental blockages we feel with vitiligo are difficult to overcome and sometimes we become limited in our thinking about what is possible and what is not. C theory gradually open the mind to new possibilities and present potential areas that have not been explored by the individual.
4. Not the gospel truth. We are committed to updating C theory with new editions which will actively change and improve on the previous version. Naturally this means that we are open to the idea of the ideas being proved both right and wrong. We celebrate both outcomes and positive and helping us reach our broader goal of making a massive contribution to vitiligo investigation.
The amount of collective self study and exploration that has gone into C theory makes us feel confident that it will be a key part of the broader vitiligo puzzle for many people. This is why we have no plans to remove it and will continue to expand and update it with new editions.
