 "He said that he thought she had systemic lupus erythe-matosis and sent her to a rheumatologist because he did not take care of patients with lupus. The rheumatologist disagreed that she had lupus but offered no further suggestions. Mrs. Herrington was still fatigued, and her red blood cell count was still too low. Even though she clearly had a serious medical problem, her doctors let her fall between the cracks, and of course Mrs. Herrington's original complaint of fatigue remained exactly the same."- Benjamin H.

 "University of Arizona Medical School, advises lupus patients to eat sardines packed in sardine oil (sild oil) three times a week.
Strange Alfalfa Lupus
It also makes sense for those with lupus to restrict legumes and certainly alfalfa sprouts. There's evidence lupus may be tied to adverse food reactions. Six months into an experiment, researchers at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Pordand noted that monkeys eating alfalfa became sick. Tests surprisingly revealed medical signs of lupus! Deprived of alfalfa, the monkeys partially recovered."- Jean Carper, Food Your Miracle Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "But when the immune system cracks, it leaves us at the mercy of invaders and sometimes even its own internal demise through the bewildering progression of autoimmune disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and MS. Studies have shown that mice exposed to relevant doses (i.e., doses equivalent to what a human might encounter) of the solvent trichloroethylene, used in adhesives, paint removers, and spot removers, and found in many water sources from dumping of the chemical, developed lupuslike symptoms and autoimmune hepatitis."- Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) |

Tinnitus, or "ringing ears," is a phenomenon of the nervous system connected to the ear, characterized by a perception of a ringing, beating, or roaring sound without an external source.

 "Also, a disease we have already mentioned, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), generates many of the features of accelerated aging. Susceptibility to this disease is controlled in part by the MHC. The symptoms of lupus can be inhibited by the use of SOD for control of free radical generation.89
Dr. Walford cites such evidence when he suggests that because the MHC is so closely related to the immune system and free radical defenses, as well as aging, it might better be
called the Life Support Complex. Dr."- Hari Sharma, Freedom from Disease: How to Control Free Radicals, a Major Cause of Aging and Disease (Get the book.) |

 "Lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or "lupus," is an immune disorder that can range in severity from a mild rash to a fatal assault on the brain, kidneys, and other organs. The typical American diet, with its surplus of omega-6 fatty acids, may worsen lupus. To see if lowering the intake of this nutrient might be of benefit, Swedish researchers advised nineteen lupus patients to stop eating omega-6 oils and replace them with saturated fat. At the end of a year, the number of patients with active cases dropped from eleven to three."- Artemis P. Simopoulos, MD and Jo Robinson, The Omega Plan: the Medically Proven Diet That Gives You the Essential Nutrients You Need to Greatly Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke (Get the book.) |
| "Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Arthritis is the primary symptom of lupus, a dysfunction of the autoimmune system. i?e//e/:Prednisone,acorticosteroid.. .cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), a cancer drug.. .and several other medications. These allow many lupus patients to live fairly normal lives with minimal problems.
GET MOVING
Formerly, because it's painful to move, people who had arthritis sat still and got steadily worse. We now know that inactivity is a mistake. For most people who have arthritis, careful exercise is recommended to keep limbs limber." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) |
 "How about arthritis, asthma, skin lesions like psoriasis, eczema, and autoimmune diseases like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn's? Ironically, we're looking for the sinister cause of the staggering increase in childhood asthma, all the while stuffing our youngsters with refined grain products. Is it any wonder that we're depressed, achy, and having our hips and knees replaced right and left?
But, evidence is mounting that high-dose omega-3 therapy is effective in reversing many of these inflammatory conditions. What's surprising is that we are only now rediscovering these facts."- Dr. Steven R.

 "JACKIE BREAKS INTO THE LIGHT
At thirty-nine, Jackie was diagnosed with lupus, a condition in which the immune system attacks the body's cells and tissues. Her energy was zapped, and it was frequently hard just to get
Ito work. She felt chained to every part of her life: the musty apartment, Brooklyn's chilly winters and humid summers, and the lack of nature around her.
When we began working with Jackie, we realized that she was unable, or perhaps unwilling, to consider options and break free."- Rick Foster, Greg Hicks, M.D., Jen Seda, Choosing Brilliant Health: 9 Choices That Redefine What It Takes to Create Lifelong Vitality and Well-Being (Get the book.) |
 "For example, one of his patients with lupus visualized little versions of Puff the Magic Dragon carrying buckets of ice to her affected joints; in this way, she was able to eliminate 70 percent to 90 percent of her pain. Mundy does not think that we need to understand completely how the mind works, only that we need to be grateful that the mind does work so effectively for us.7 You may benefit from working with an NLP practitioner who has used Mundy's exercise with autoimmune patients.

 "Arntsen was fortunate to find her way eventually to Johns Hopkins University's neuromuscular clinic and later to Michelle Petri for confirmation, consultation, and validation regarding her polyautoimmune disorders, which include lupus, Sjogrens, Graves' thyroid disease, APS, psoriasis, Raynaud's disease, and myasthenia gravis. Yet despite having an accurate set of diagnoses, Arntsen's autoimmune illnesses have forced her to give up almost everything she once equated with normal life in order to preserve the stamina to get through each day."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
 "A young girl with lupus, which has no cure and can be controlled only partially by using drugs that have numerous side effects, is conditioned to take her medication while smelling roses and tasting cod-liver oil. Ovet time, as the conditioning is strengthened, her medications are reduced. Finally, after several years, she is able to stop taking her medications entirely, but she receives all the benefits of those drugs simply by being exposed to the scent of roses or the taste of cod-liver oil."- Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
| "Serious cases of lupus can adversely affect the kidneys, heart, nervous system, and brain, resulting in psychosis, depression, seizures, and amnesia.
Recommendations include avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight, lifestyle modification to reduce stress, promoting sufficient rest and sleep, and dietary changes to lower fat and salt intake, as well as enzyme supplementation to support the kidneys, digestive system, and immune system. Enzymes can also be used to treat inflammation and balance the pH levels to support overall health." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) |
| "NES matching tests show that this Star is correlated bioenergetically to allergic conditions of all types, including lupus (which is normally thought of as only an autoimmune disease), urticaria (hives), colitis, soft-tissue rheumatism, and asthma, among other things. However, the Energetic Star 5 Infoceutical does not appear to have a clear bioenergetic link to arthritis. Although arthritis may have an autoimmune component to it, NES research shows that is fat from the whole bioenergetic story." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Increased risk of autoimmune disorders such as lupus.
• Fibrocystic breasts.
• Fibroid tumors.
• Depression and irritability.
• PMS symptoms such as cramping and bloating—in addition to depression and irritability.
• Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats—again, in addition to depression and irritability.
• Decreased sex drive.
• Increased body hair and thinning of scalp hair.
• Migraine headaches.
• Impaired thyroid function, including Grave's disease.
• Increased body fat.
• Increased blood clotting.
• Impaired blood sugar control."- Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |
| "In an administrative building nearby sits the lupus clinic records room. In the twenty-by-twenty-foot space loom four walls of filing cabinets—enough to easily fill up the four walls in your local 7-Eleven— packed with patient files that, twenty years ago, would have fit neatly into a few metal drawers. Although Petri has no way of conducting formal epidemiologic research through her clinic, the continued rise in the percent of patients afflicted in her own small urban area is, she says, a "very disturbing" sign." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
| "However, we do not call it an enzyme deficiency—we have given it other names, like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and lupus.
The environment within our body also affects the functionality of the enzymes we produce and consume. Enzymes function properly within specific environments and variations from their optimal surroundings, particularly in pH (acidity or alkalinity) and temperature, can decrease or increase their ability to catalyze biochemical reactions. Enzymes can become less active, inactive, or denatured in suboptimal settings." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.) |

Flax lignans and kidney disease
The provision of flaxseed lignans to the diet of animals and humans has been shown to spare the kidneys from assault in autoimmune diseases like lupus. [Lupus. 9:429-36, 2000; Am J Kidney Dis. 22:326-32, 1993; Kidney Int. 48:475-80, 1995]

| "I believe the diet I have created for myself has helped me recover from lupus. I eat plant protein provided by grains, green vegetables, and some legumes. I also eat between 10 and 20 percent animal protein, excluding red meat. The source of my animal protein is cold-water, ocean-going fish, like salmon and halibut, and organically grown chicken. I minimize animal protein in my daily meals by cutting fish fillets and skinned chicken pieces into three-ounce servings. Nutritionists tell us that four, three-ounce servings of animal protein a week is enough to keep us healthy." - Sharon Moore, Lupus: Alternative Therapies That Work (Get the book.) |
| "In addition, though, it does provide specific benefits, such as:
• Extremely powerful memory enhancement and improved cognitive performance
• Supports the adrenals
• A strong antifatigue agent
• Of significant benefit in rheumatologic and connective tissue disorders such as rheumatism, osteoarthritis, scleroderma, psoriasis, lupus, and spondylitis
• Repair of the myelin sheath structure
• Improved immunity
• Reduced PMS and menopausal symptoms
• And it just makes you "feel" really good
Use of pregnenolone has shown no serious side effects even at very high doses of up to 700 mg." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.) |
| "We don't have to have a physical diagnosis, as in naming our problem as lupus, asthma, pancreatic cancer, or whatever, or a psychological diagnosis, as in naming our problem as anxiety or panic disorder. We don't even have to blame ourselves for what we perceive as our inadequacies, such as being trapped in our childhood trauma or unable to resolve grief. From the NES perspective, our root problem is stuck, or static, information in one Integrator or another." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "Chronic inflammation has been linked to many health conditions including allergies, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, and autoimmune diseases (like Crohn's disease, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis), as well as heart disease and the growth of some cancers. The handful of herbs in Zyflamend work through much the same mechanisms as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce chronic inflammation. They do so in a less-targeted way, incorporating antioxidant and other effects that not only may help to prevent cancer, but also improve the user's overall health."- Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) |
 "Zileuton (Zyflo) can cause lupus and liver toxicity and requires blood to be checked every six months. These drugs are expensive and have not been shown to be more effective than steroids and antihistamines.
Other new drugs are the mast cell stabilizers like nedocromil (Tilade) and omalizumab (Xolair). Xolair is given by injection every two to four weeks. These meds have only recently been approved by the FDA, and so we have to adopt a wait-and-see attitude."- J.
