Brother With Lupus Since 15

Posted by Edith (San Jose, California) on 02/18/2014

Hello,

my brother has been diagnosed with lupus since he was 15 and since then his health has become worse at 21 now. He has had many lupus flares and his arthritis has become unbearable. He's had bacterial infections in his blood, has lost so much weight and his facial structure has shifted and doesn't look like the same person anymore. I'm emailing because I'm worried that he's gotten so sick that he's going to die soon or the steroids and medication he's getting will harm his organs. The doctors dont know how to help him get better, they are simply giving medication to ease the symptoms. I'm very concerned and am trying to find something that will turn his life around and allow him to gain faith and at least live because he is not living, he is only getting by and getting worse. Please help!!

Dear Edith,

Your brother is blessed to have you watching out for you. Have you read through the Earth Clinic pages on Lupus?

Low dose naltrexone has been shown to be effective in treating Lupus without any side effects. See this site, and then join the Yahoo LDN Group (listed on the LDN site) that has over 11,000 members who use FDA approved LDN. The members are very willing to help with their personal experiences and answer any questions you may have. www.ldninfo.org. Best wishes to you and your brother.

Your brother sounds like he is not getting enough vitamins and minerals. Stop the processed foods and eating out! Start him on fresh fruit juice you make at home in a juicer and juice fresh vegetables. 6 glasses a day, apples, oranges, beets, celery etc.

Stop using table salt and use Himalayan salt (you can buy it on Ebay). Salads, and more salads. No soft drinks or junk food.

Stop the sugar use maple syrup, honey, or stevia. Nuts are good for him as are Groats (you can ground them and eat them raw with organic milk. They are a form of oats. With all the vitamins. Millet is great for protein.

I had a cousin that only ate out and used junk food, diet aids and drank. She died at 51 from a form of Lupus.

Hope this helps.

It is known that Lupus can result from vaccine injury.

The most dangerous things to a lupus person and chronically ill people will be a conventional medical doctor and their pharma medications. It becomes terminal when the patient embraces toxic treatments.

Prescription medications will eventually kill the patient or make their health worse due to the side effects and the fact that they don't address the cause. Throwing in some natural medicines may not overcome the toxicity of the other medications. Unless the lupus person can wean themselves off the conventional medications and doctors, my advice won't be worth anything. I run into people all the time who refuse to listen to anybody but their doctor. Those people are incurable.

It is known that most people who die from lupus die due to complications, such as kidney failure or heart disease. There are also Lung and blood problems. So you need to address all these vital areas that will bring him down.

It is clear that people with lupus have blood coagulation problems. I happen to have a chronic disease also which cause blood coagulation problems. This is easy to address.

Protecting against heart disease is fairly straight forward. He should be taking high doses of nattokinase and serrapeptase. They won't have bad side effects. If he is on warfarinm coumadin etc, he needs to wean himself off. He also needs to take K2 (ML7) to clean calcium from the arteries. This will keep him from dying from heart attack and strokes.

Of course, you will read lots of things that say - no studies have been done to prove this. There has been thousands of studies on fibrinolytic enzymes in China to prove their efficacy. No US studies have been done because it would effect make the prescribed medications obsolete. They won't allow that to happen. They do work. He would likely feel their efficacy within one month. I would also recommend other enzymes like bromelain etc. The will help his infections also.

Lung problems are usually caused by fungus. Normally the fungus in the stomach is under control but sometime it gets out of hand and spreads. Use of antibiotics will increase this likelihood. I am not saying don't use antibiotics but realize that if he has lung problems in the future, he may need to treat the fungus with nystatin and other antifungal agents. Coconut oil is an antifungal so that could help protect him from any fungus getting out of control.

Other people on here have had kidney problems so find their posts and read them. Look under ailment.

They say that people with lupus live up to 20 years after diagnosis. If they take matters into their own hands and go the natural route, they will likely live a lot longer.

The one barrier I see is how will you treat your brother with natural medications while the doctors are treating him.

Your brother might want to consider taking vitamin d because people who have lupus and have low serum vitamin d levels are more likely to have more symptoms while people with higher vitamin d serum levels are likely to have less symptoms related to lupus.

The following abstracts tend to confirm this:

http://arthritis-research.com/content/16/1/R49/abstract
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24503020
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24057183

One common symptom of lupus is sensitivity to sunlight which leads many people to avoid the sun and or use sunblock liberally, both of which will add to lower vitamin d serum level (25 OH d) and also treg cells which can lead to the appearance of more lupus symptoms.

The main way that most people get vitamin d is from the sun and not food. If you can't go out in the sun, then your vitamin d level is very likely to be deficient unless you supplement with vitamin d at doses that are capable of moving your serum level into the reference range( 30~100 ng/ml).

There are many health benefits to being vitamin d sufficient and many of the multiple symptoms of lupus can be associated with low serum levels of vitamin d, so it may be worth it for your brother to at least discuss this option with his doctor.

People from Lupus die from complications of the kidney, heart, lung and blood. The life expectancy is just 20 years after diagnosis. I can understand why it is just 20 years. Conventional medicine is generally toxic to chronically ill people. Vaccination is one of the major causes of lupus.

Since there may not be a simple cure for the disease, the individual general problems need to be addressed if you want to protect him from dying. I think if he goes natural, he will out live most people who have the disease. This is critical to success. Mixing prescription medications with natural medicines lowers the odds of success.

The thing that sticks out about the disease is the blood coagulation. I have a different chronic disease but the same problem. That needs to be eventually addressed. You can protect your brother from heart disease with nattokinase, serrapeptase and vitamin K2 (ML7 form). I would advise you use enzyme therapy to add other enzymes like bromelaine etc. These will help with other infection in the body also.

His body is likely depleted of many vitamins and minerals. make sure he uses the activated B vitamins. A, C, E, Selenium, D3 are others he should take. He should minimize processed foods. If possiblem go non GMO. Filter out the floridation from the water. I would have him take coconut oil to protect him against fungus problems that can attack the lungs.

Chronic illness is a complex health problem unless the underlying infection causing lupus can be addressed so each area of body needs to be addressed separately. Improving one area will improve other areas.

What type of arthritis does your brother have ?
