Does anyone has an experience with plaquenil? or some one knows a natural way to cure lupus? I am currently taking oil fish, cellfood and recovery( for joint pain) and multi-vitamins.
I am 30 yrs and was diagnose 8 months ago, no internal organs involves and the only symptoms are fatigue and joints pain.
Please help if you have experience plaquenil as treatment or someone else. I am afraid of side effects ( affects lung, kidney, bones , eye etc.) it help now but causes you trouble later on.
I am going to see my rhumatologist tomorrow but I haven't decided yet if i am going to start the treatment.
thanks You do realize what lupus is right?
Listen, I know you're scared. Anybody would be with that diagnosis. But the drugs are safe. The side-effects are minimal. Not taking the drugs and pretending that there is a natural cure is dangerous. You need to understand that the drug was prescribed because it was proven effective in the treatment of lupus. There are side-effects with any drug, even natural ones. What you need to do is weigh the potential benefits of taking the drug versus the potential consequences of side effects and of not taking the drug. Lupus is a highly treatable disease but there is no cure for it. The treatments are proven to be effective and safe as long as you follow the doctors orders. according to what I found:
There are natural remedies for Lupus that do not involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs. They involve restoring the biochemical balance of the body, and making dietary and lifestyle changes designed to improve one's general health.
Here is some websites that might help:

Mary-Jo was 52 years-old when I met her in 1994, and it soon became apparent that she had diabetes, a thyroid condition and severe arthritis - which was painfully obvious in the cruel swelling and deformation of her fingers. I told her not to worry, her ills will be gone completely in no time flat. If she included about 6 oz of any kind of seafood in her diet every day, I said, she'll be as good as new in three months.
Fortunately, she had read a book "A Sure Cure For Arthritis" many years ago, which also advocated a diet rich in seafood, although the author, a physician, did not know the reason why. However, she had not followed this advice until I reinforced what she had read earlier with the facts of the 72+ nutritional trace elements. It was enough to convince her to give it a try.
Within a few weeks, she began to notice substantial improvement, and then progressively more dramatic improvement. The pain and swelling of her cruelly twisted fingers had disappeared within the first week, and her arthritis receded rapidly from then on. About a month after we met, she held her hands straight out in front of her and said beaming from ear to ear, "look, look, I can see my fingernails again!" She was elated.
Her diabetes had also improved so dramatically that she found herself full of energy again, had no need to eat every two hours, visit the bathroom frequently, and could partake in the apple pie and ice cream she made for me, without any ill effects whatsoever. And the symptoms of her thyroid condition had disappeared as well.
After three months, by now in robust glowing health, she told me what she did not dare tell me on our first meeting. SHE ALSO HAD HAD LUPUS, she said, and she told of the silent terror she had lived under all these years, in constant fear of this completely unpredictable disease. The only reason she finally told me about her lupus was that her lupus marks had disappeared completely as well. She was such a glowing picture of robust health by then that everyone noticed and commented in utter astonishment, including her 33 year-old son.

Note: If for some reason eating seafood 7 days a week is not something you can do, you might try supplementing with a quality fish oil supplement at each meal and taking trace elements in a supplement form such as Concentrace or Sierrasil. [Do not overdose on non-collodial trace elements.]
Also due to mercury content avoid the larger fish that are higher in the food chain like tuna, swordfish, shark, etc.

The above information is based on the assumption that because seafood contains trace elements not otherwise found in our diets, this is the key to why this works -
READ ON:
Interestingly in the book called, "ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus..." The importance of water and salt [not processed salt but sea salt or himalayan crystal salt] is emphasized as a means of recovering from asthma or lupus. What I find interesting about this is that both the seafood diet recommended above and the use of sea salt with water are 2 different ways to give your body the necessary trace elements it needs.
Read the testimonials for this book at http://www.amazon.com/Water-Health-Heali...
such as this: The most fascinating part of the book was his discussion about Lupus. Dr. Batmanghelidj dissects the different signs of Lupus and provides compelling evidence for why Lupus may be caused by a long-standing dehydrated condition and why the traditional medical model has failed in the treatment. This book builds upon the information presented in Dr. Batmanghelidj's other books, Your Body's Many Cries for Water Dr. Batmanghelidj's book is a must read for physicians and patients alike. His unique premise that dehydration is the underlying cause of asthma, allergies and Lupus is supported by sound research and clincal acumen. -- testimonial by David Brownstein, M.D. found at http://www.amazon.com/review/RL7Y9VT6PDG...

Now, I don't know if it's the dehydration or the trace elements that is the real issue here. If it is the trace elements, 2 recommended supplements for trace elements are Concentrace and Sierrasil. Use your favorite search engine to find them. Farmacy drugs sometimes don't help. I don't know the natural cure, but go to www.naturalcures.com and subscribe for the free membership, it'll help. Essiac, or 4herb tea concentrate. It works. I've been using it for 7 years. You can get it at natural foods stores and also online at Herbal Healer Academy. Step into a new world.
A world without chronic diseases.
Step out of your old world.
It has kept you a prisoner.
The prison has no walls. It has only lines. Lines that mark the ground around you. Inside the lines are your old ideas. Outside are new ideas that invite you to step over and escape your prison. Dare to try these new ideas and your illness promises to recede.

Lupus Audios from 18 year old to Nurse Practitioners who are better now from Lupus.
LUPUS - Latin word for wolf. First identified as a flare up which looked like a wolfs mask on the face. "Wolfs Disease" before they understood it. The only medical options are steroids and if all else fails, chemotherapy and this causes renal failure and their are 7 ways to die on dialysis.
Alternatives? Nothing alternative about alternative medicine. It is the process by which you work with the bodies own natural ability to correct itself. Trust in that. Your body has its own intelligence to recover when provided with what is "missing" in the human frame and diet.
Its called "cellular restoration." - Not masking symptoms! There is a school of thought that believes that your body wants to heal itself and will do so if you give it the raw material through your diet that will help it, and at the same time eliminate that things that continue to degrade it. This involves a lifestyle change that you may think you are not prepared to undertake, but the other course is a slippery slope downward until you bottom out at boothill.
You can start out on your lupus free journey at http://www.hacres.com . There is quite a bit of material available for you to look over. I am taking Plaquenil since 10 years.Yes there are side effects,but your doctor also will check your blood on a regular basis and would detect right away if there would be something wrong with your liver or kidney.If you have Lupus, it would be more dangerous for your inner organs,if you wouldn`t take any medications.
I have Reumatoid Arthritis and without treatment I`d be seriously heart by now if I wouldn`t have taken my medications.
Check out the Bee Venom Therapie.It is completly natural and I personally think it defenitly can replace your Plaquenil.
Check out: info@apitherapy.org.
Good luck |
