First, you must stop drinking alcohol and smoking. It hinders all other things you are doing to improve your health.
Next, change your diet. Start including salmon, fruits, vegetables and green leafy salads. Drink lots of water. And finally add these supplements: vitamin E-100 IUs, Panothenic Acid -500 mgs and Manganese- 50mgs. Take these daily. I also took a strong multi-vitamin called "Stress tabs."
Although I can't get a doctor to say I am "cured." I have gotten them to use the words: "in remission."
My medical doctor said there is now research that vitamin E negatively affects the heart but temporarily it should be fine. (right?)
My Lupus disease was severe with rheumatoid arthritis, hair loss, blood clotting and severe fatigue. Now, you would never know I was ever sick. I am healthier than most women I know my age and younger.
Thank you for this website...you have changed my life for the better.

Hi Margaret. I am responding to a posting you submitted to Earth Clinic regarding lupus remedies.
Can you tell me how long it took before your lupus disappeared? For the stress tabs -what brand and what dosage mgs per day? Also, what made you take these supplements.

Just wanted to share my story on lupus. In Dec of 2010 I went to see a intergrated doctor. Found my gluten numbers really high along with antibodies for lupus. Went gluten free and in only 2 months my lupus antibodies were gone! Just had a follow up visit and my antibodies are still gone. I say go gluten free. I also had my Vit D checked along with b12 and iron. If you live near a intergrated doctor I would recommend going. Good luck to all out there, SherryReplied By Kelle (Lafayette, In) on 11/19/2011

Thank you, Margaret. Your thread made me feel like there is definite hope. I had no idea lupus could be caused by all these other elements. I'm very grateful for Ted's assistance. He's a gem!Replied By David (Las Vegas, Nv Usa) on 11/29/2012
to margaret: my wife has lupus and it's in her brain. Our doctor told us in 2005 that he had 2 other patients that had lupus in their brain and they both died within 2 years of diagnosis. I read a book by a Dr.Strand from colorado, and he had a list of vitamins and supplements to take. My wife takes a multi-vitamin, vitamins e and b complex, and c. She also takes grape seed extract, co-q10, fish oil, and l_glutathione. This may (2013) will be 8 years since she was diagnosed with lupus. also and the big thing for us is, as we are both christians, there have been a lot of friends and family praying for us. david
