Do pH diets work in curing Lupus Decoid? |
I'd like to hear from people who have tried the ph diet to cure Lupus Decoid and from the medical profession. What success or failures have you had, did it work? Can you recommend a diet or reading material? Will I lose my hair with Lupus Decoid? It didn't help me, but you may be different. I've had discoid for years, along with SLE, and the only thing that has ever helped has been prednisone and anti-malarial drugs. Diet has never made any difference, but my rash is mainly on my cheeks and nose and barely noticable at times. I haven't been out in the full sun in years and that's probably made the biggest difference. I still go out, but I'm always covered and I wear a hat. I also know when I'm about to "flare" so I take things easy for awhile, and can usually get over it fairly quickly. Lupus isn't curable, but there are things you can do to make it more bearable. You won't necessarily lose your hair, unless that area of your head is heavily affected, but prednisolone should help with the rash and irritation. Because the symptoms of lupus vary not only in type but also severity, the treatment may also need to vary. It may take time to find the right combination of treatments for each individual. Treatments may include: rest exercise physical therapy for muscle weakness avoiding sun exposure using medications such as: anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin for symptomatic relief corticosteroid drugs such as prednisolone for inflammation antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine phosphate or hydroxychloroquine for rashes, arthritis and malaise . I hope you find something that helps... but I haven't heard of anyone seeing improvement on the ph diet. first off do you mean discoid lupus? and second off there is no cure. just flares and periods of remission If pH diets cured lupus do you think there would have been a huge international lupus symposium in China last month or that millions would be being spent on research or that some people still die from lupus complications? Some people lose their hair with discoid or cutaneous lupus and some also lose it just from systemic lupus. www.lupus.org www.niams.gov |
