Date: September 14, 2011 07:05PM My friend's mother has just been diagnosed with Lupus. I know nothing about this disease - please could you tell me about it, if you know, and what might help diet wise - thanks Re: Lupus

It's an autoimmune disease that may be reversible through diet and therapeutic fasting. [www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Joel Fuhrman has an autoimmune protocol which I will publish later. Also, I've reported the spam. Paul Re: Lupus

Date: September 16, 2011 11:14AM Ok, found the autoimmune protocol from Dr. Fuhrman: From his 2004 Healthy Times news letter
"The protocol has nine important features: 1. High-nutrient, vegan diet, rich in green vegetables 2. Blended salads and blended soups (utilizing leafy greens) to increase absorption of favorable phytochemical compounds [ed. note includes fruit] 3. Fresh vegetable juice(carrots, beets, parsley, kale, and other greens) 4. High-dose omega 3 oils including plant-derived EPA and DHA 5. Beneficial bowel flora 6. Natural anti-inflammatory herbs such as turmeric, quercetin, ginger, and bioflavonoids. 7. Multivitamin/mineral, plus additional vitamin D supplementation 8.Water-only fasting, used periodically, if necessary 9. Dietary avoidance of salt, wheat, and oil" Re: Lupus

Date: September 16, 2011 11:54AM As with all auto-immune diseases the adrenal glands are usually under-functioning so supporting them is a good start.
Vitamin D plays a role in auto-immune diseases also. I believe there is a microbial trigger for lupus also, what type of lupus does she have? [www.vegankingdom.co.uk] Re: Lupus

Date: September 16, 2011 02:25PM Agree with Paul and powerlifer. Incidentally, flipperjan, is the mother of your friend a person of great health generally, or has she suffered weird infections in the past? Sorry this is happening to this woman; in older age it must be particularily difficult to suffer. Here's a website that can help explain the disease better:

If you would like to read all of the 2004 Newletter from Joel, let me know, I have permission to email it. I would need an address which you could PM. Paul Re: Lupus

Date: September 17, 2011 11:23AM Thanks for that information Paul - I have copied it down and will pass along. Would like the whole news letter - will pm you an address.
Powerlifer - I don't know what sort of Lupus she has - still having tests apparently. Tam - no idea about her general state of health - apparently she is a 'just get on with it' type of woman. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
