Understanding lupus is instrumental in helping you overcome the problem.

There are  few different types of lupus, according to medicine. The types include systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, lupus vulgaris and drug induced lupus.

Lupus is a destructive type of skin and joint disease, although it can affect any part of the body. The name means ‘wolf’ as the shape and colour of the affected skin resembles the bite of a wolf.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) are inflamed areas of the skin which typically form a butterfly pattern, across the cheeks and under the eyes.

Lupus vulgaris is the most common and severe form of tuberculosis of the skin, mostly affecting the face but the lesions do spread.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory issue that involves the skin, joints, kidneys, nervous system and mucous membranes, although any organ can be affected.

It is more common in women than men and can affect any age group.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease. It's taken years to develop. It is a chronic inflammatory problem

There are drugs that can create lupus such as hydralazine, isoniazid, various anti-convulsants and procainamide.

However, any drug can cause any condition depending on the sensitivity of the person affected.

It is rather foolish, in my opinion, not to investigate a person's lifestyle and history before dishing out hazardous drugs.

Sadly, this is not the way MDs are trained.

Consider the lifestyle of many people:

• they are stressed - about work, finances, children, partners, etc
• they may be in a job that doesn't resonate with their core beliefs, but it pays well
• their diet is poor or nutrient deficient, relying on take aways, packet food, junk food and drinks
• they may not understand the hazardous effect of screens from both the radiation and EMF level, but also from the propaganda fed out over the news
• instead of listening to their body and resting, every ailment is treated medically, which is suppressive
• a lack of sleep is common
• toxins build up and are never eliminated
• they have lost connection with their instincts and feelings, instead trusting outside authorities
• no-one would ever consider that their supplements may be causing a problem, but with the synthetic supplements dominating the market, this is exactly what can happen, and I suggest it is VERY common

This is an emotional and physical toxic soup. No one can be healthy with all that going on.

The medical prognosis is poor. All the they can offer is lupus pain management. This treatment is likely to cause more problems. Steroids/cortisone is the go-to treatment and that causes so many problems.

Doctors tend to tell you that autoimmune diseases are a result of your genes and there is nothing you can do about it. Certainly genes do play a part, but it is minor and there is everything you can do to reverse this issue.

Your genes are responsible for the EXPRESSION of your ill health when you have been negligent in the other important areas of your life. They are not the CAUSE of the problem.

Understanding lupus puts the onus on you to take better control of your life.

Diet is one of the most important parts of your health. Stop the take aways, the fast food, the packet food and start eating real food. Especially focus on a high fruit and vegetable diet. Certified organic food is preferable but not essential.

This will not only provide you with more nutrition, it will help to start the de-toxing process.

The next area to consider is your toxic overload. It’s hard to avoid toxins in today’s environment, but some toxins have a greater impact on you than do others. The ones you ingest or absorb have a greater and more deleterious effect on your health than do others. The most serious ones include:

• medical drugs
• medical vaccines
• synthetic supplements
• personal care products
• toxins in our food from chemical farming or from processing
• drinking water

Look for a more natural approach to health. Purchase natural personal care products. Structure your water.

In the early stages, as your wrap your head around understanding lupus, as you improve your lifestyle and choices, it is likely you'll need some help. Good homeopathic support has achieve just that, gradually weaning you off the hazardous drugs, while supporting your immune system, saying goodbye to autoimmune conditions.
