Halted and reversed. Of course the genetic defect cannot be removed. But since it is progressive, no, it is not merely genetic expression. Hair color is mostly genetic expression and in most people does not vary that much, until they go grey. A progressive condition is a combination of genes and environmental factors, something most people seem to have difficulty with.

Unfortunately, no, no publication is interested.

I am now going to ask you to stop posting these lies in this public forum. Your mental illness should be a private matter, not an excuse to mislead people who are, or who might become, as ignorant as you are.

> Unfortunately, no, no publication is interested.

That is because you are a ignoramus, unqualified to offer advice to anyone on anything.
