What Is Lupus?

 There are 1.4 million people in the U.S. with lupus. That means that 1 out of every 200 Americans has lupus. It is becoming relatively common for people to have Lupus and chances are you know someone who might have it or someone who already has it. So what is Lupus? Well our immune systems are made to attack foreign substances in our body. Lupus causes our immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues. This disease has been known to affect:


Joints

Skin

Kidneys

Heart

Lungs

Blood vessels

The brain

There are different kinds of Lupus. The most common form of this disease is systematic lupus erythematosus. This type of Lupus causes skin rashes that don't go away. There is also subacutaneaous lupus which causes skin sores on parts of the body exposed to the sun. This disease can also be induced by medications. Neonatal lupus is a rare type of lupus that affects newborns.


Most people affected by this disease are women and is mostly common found in African American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American women. Unfortunately the cause for this disease is unknown but it is believed that genes play a role. There are a few symptoms that can be watched for when diagnosing lupus. Some of these symptoms are:


Pain and swelling in the joints

Muscle pain

A fever with no known cause

Red rashes on the face

Chest pain when taking deep breaths

Hair loss

Pale or purple fingers or toes

Sensitivity to the sun

Feeling tired

Mouth ulcers

Swollen glands

Anemia

Depression

Seizures

Usually Lupus is diagnosed by medical history, complete physical exam, blood tests, skin biopsy, and kidney biopsy. It cannot be prevented but it can be treated naturally. Here are some ways to treat and improve this condition:


A low calorie diet that is low in fat has been known to help tremedously. By cutting refined sugar you should see better results when it comes to this condition.

Herbs like berberis have been known to help fight infections and inflammations in the body.

Supplements like hydrochloric acid and vitamin B complex help with our digestion, energy production, and our nervous system. Also Omega 3 helps reduce inflammation in the body. Also Omega 6 from primrose oil, borrage oil or black current seed oil help with function of the brain, bone health, metabolism and reproduction. Also vitamin B6 can block many toxic affects that come from the medications that are given to most patients. It is recommended to consult a Physician before using this particular supplement.

Avoid flouride because it directly affects the immune system. Since someone with Lupus already suffers from an auto immune disease flouride has been known to worsen the condition.
