DIBER, a DRDO laboratory has carried out extensive work in the area of medicinal plant and is also engaged in R&D in generating bio-energy solutions for energy security.

Selvamurthy, the ‘Transfer of Technology’ has been granted to the AIMIL Pharmaceuticals (India) Ltd., New Delhi to manufacture and market this research product based on their technological and marketing credentials.

Leucoderma or vitiligo is an idiopathic acquired disorder of skin. Patients with vitiligo develop white spots in the skin with varying size and location. The world wide incidence of leucoderma has been reported 1-2%. In India, its incidence is around 4-5% in some parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat it is very high more than 5-8%. This skin disorder is considered as social stigma in our country and people confuse it with leprosy. The affected individuals are always remain in constant depression with the feeling of being socially outcast. There are many existing remedies of this disorder viz., allopathic, surgical and adjunctive. None of the therapies has satisfactorily cure of this disease. Secondly, these are either costly or single component based, with very low level of efficacy and develop blister, edema, irritation in the skin with the result most of the patients discontinue the treatment. The scientists of DIBER (DRDO) have therefore focused on the causes of disease (aetiology) and researched out a comprehensive formulation for the management of leucoderma from Himalayan herbs by exhaustive scientific studies led to the establishment of the safety and efficiency of the product which extends the benefits on all fronts with very good efficiency. Clinically, the product is quite effective and helps not only in restoring the normal complexion in the affected area but also relieves the affected ones from mental stress, emotional and psychological trauma and thereby, enhancing the confidence and efficiency.

The product was launched by Dr. W Selvamurthy in the presence of Dr. Narender Kumar, Dr. Zakwan Ahmed, Dr. G Ilavazhagan, Mr. KK Sharma, Managing Director, AIMIL Pharmaceuticals and senior officials of DRDO and AIMIL Pharmaceuticals.

    look fellas.. I know this disorder in the skin makes enjoyable life worse, u dont know what to do, where to go… Leucoderma wasted almost 10 years of my youth life,, and when I was 18 I started thinking deeply about the disease and I also knew many people got automatically cured but this wasn’t the case with me… I looked at my white patches and though just this thing would turn to normal… I spent thinking everytime… and guess what I just cracked the code..
    I started to strongly believe that this thing isn’t going to stay permanent with me.. It will go.. and i changed my personality, i believed differently. I became a different serious type of guy.. then i noticed the change in those white patches… they were fading they were becoming more like my natural skin color. and within two months or so they all vanished… Na, medicines cannot cure. WE HAVE MEDICINES TO EVERY PROBLEMS WITHIN OURSELVES!! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MIND POWER… all boils down to strong belief and faith in yourself and most importantly change the way you think and look at the world.
