Hello Ted, thank you for describing lupus as a blue-black patch on the skin (arm) which no doctor wanted or was able to confirm it.
And from all the postings, it seems that everyone has a different path towards developing lupus.
I just want to share with you that a nutritionist/medical physician has told me that lupus is either due to copper or zinc overload in the beginning. I must say that I am inclined to agree on that point first as most vegetarians tend to take in more copper from their food.
I am working on copper overload first. An infra-red lamp is recommended in the sauna therapy.
