Lupus: Alternative Therapies That Work

I am a doctor, and was diagnosed with Lupus last year. I got this book because I know that there is a lot to be said about natural healing methods for chronic disease. There is a lot of good information here, and it is easy to read. I'd recommend it if you are looking for some direction, or need a place to start looking at alternative therapies for Lupus. I'm living proof that lifestyle modifications and natural therapies can truly change your path in life. I have made very swift progress with a combination of the conservative use of traditional western medicine, and natural healing methods such as those in this book. The harder you work at being healthy, the more it pays off :)

i found this book very helpful in offering some specific ideas on how to detox the body. That kind of info is completely absent from your typical 1st book on autoimmune disease, and most MDs have little to offer in that area as well- just drugs and more drugs to counteract the side effects of the initial drugs. This book gives some specific ideas on things to try, and how to go about implementing those ideas. I found it refreshing not to hear yet another voice tell me to expect to just be on and off prednisone until i eventually need a new set of kidneys, and that there was nothing I could do about it.If you've just developed an autoimmune disease, then this is not the first book you want. there are lots of good first books with solid info in them.I'm not connected to the author in any way. Just a reader.

This book contains information every person with the diagnosis of Lupus should know because our doctors don't always tell us everything. Especially if you are a person willing to take full charge of your recovery this book offers nutritional information, alternative therapies and herbs, and more that can aide your immune system to function better. This book has helped me tremendously with my own research for nutrition and other therapies because all I was told was to stay out of the sun and eat a "heart healthy diet". Even the most educated in nutrition, like myself, need help beyond the guess work of what "heart healthy" truly is.

...but not all of them work very well, or at all. Its worth a look through if you are having trouble managing your Lupus with traditional therapies or if you are the type that prefers a more eastern medicine approach when dealing with illness. It didn't help me much at all, but I have a severe form of Lupus. My mother has a very mild form of Lupus and she claims that some of these alternatives worked better for her than some of the medications her doctor prescribed to her.

To anyone suffering with lupus or anyone with a relative with the disease this is a must have book, I had been searching for a book to help me avoid the dangerous drugs I was recommended and also to get some answers to the unusual symptoms I was having.The book answered all my questions and thanks to the book my health has improved so I almost feel normal.I would recommend always finding a good GP to help you, one that is able to agree with you on your natural choice.

Not only is this book an interesting read, it has very good information for people who are suffering from Lupus. It is a book that I have shared with friends because it contains wisdom that most medical doctors have not studied. Thank you Sharon, for this outstanding book!

I really learned a lot from this book. I recommend to anyone who has Lupus or knows someone with it.

This is a great book for anyone who is looking for information about alternative therapies for Lupus patients. This book should be read by the Lupus patient, practitioners and the patients family members. These therapies work!
