Recover from Lupus Naturally

Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues in the body causing a wide range of health issues. The inflammatory aspect of the disease can affect the skin, hair, brain, joints, organs, and blood vessels.

Because symptoms can come and go, many people don’t realize they have an autoimmune response happening. They may think they are simply sick with a virus, or they may have been diagnosed with some other health issue since Lupus symptoms mimic those of other diseases.

What is Lupus?

Discover a revolutionary approach to treating autoimmune diseases. Traditional methods often rely on immune-suppressing drugs, which can cause severe side effects.

Dr. Minkoff discusses the importance of addressing underlying issues like gut health and chronic infections to reverse conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.

Through a compelling patient case study, you’ll see how comprehensive treatment focusing on the root causes can lead to significant improvements and even remission, offering hope for those suffering from these challenging diseases.

    Lupus Disease Symptoms

    Common symptoms of Lupus disease are:

    • Fatigue
    • Joint pain, stiffness, and swelling
    • Unexplained fever
    • Facial rash presenting in the shape of a butterfly over the cheeks and nose
    • Hair loss
    • Chest pain
    • Dry eyes and mouth
    • Brain fog
    • Headaches
    • Memory issues

    These symptoms are often misdiagnosed as mental health disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, leaving them untreated.

    Lupus Disease Causes

    The medical community at large does not know the causes of lupus. Some claim it has to do with exposure to the sun, infections, or medications a person takes. Others say it is related to genetics and environmental factors.

    At LifeWorks Wellness Center we know that there are multifaceted reasons the body develops an autoimmune disease like lupus.

    We know for example that most disease is caused by one or a combination of these three things:

    1. Toxicity

    Environmental toxins, such as heavy metals, pesticides, and pollutants, can trigger and intensify autoimmune responses by disrupting the body’s immune system.

    These harmful substances contribute to chronic inflammation and can cause the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy tissues, a hallmark of lupus.

    Additionally, toxins can impair detoxification pathways, further burdening the immune system and exacerbating symptoms.

    2. Deficiencies

    Deficiencies in essential nutrients play a crucial role in the development and progression of lupus. Inadequate levels of vitamins like D and B12, and essential fatty acids such as omega-3, can impair immune function and increase inflammation, exacerbating the symptoms of lupus.

    These deficiencies weaken the body’s natural defenses and disrupt the balance necessary for a properly functioning immune system, leading to increased autoimmunity.

    3. Food Allergies & Sensitivities

    Food allergies and sensitivities significantly impact lupus by triggering and exacerbating the body’s autoimmune response.

    When individuals with lupus consume foods they are allergic or sensitive to, it can cause inflammation and immune system overactivity, worsening lupus symptoms.

    Common culprits include gluten, dairy, certain grains, legumes, soy, nuts, and certain additives, which can lead to digestive issues, increased inflammation, and flare-ups.

    The Role of Leaky Gut

    Leaky gut, or increased intestinal permeability, plays a pivotal role in the development and exacerbation of lupus.

    In this condition, the lining of the intestines becomes damaged, allowing undigested food particles, toxins, and pathogens to enter the bloodstream. This triggers an immune response, leading to chronic inflammation and autoimmune reactions.

    For individuals with lupus, a leaky gut can cause the immune system to mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues, worsening lupus symptoms.

    How Does the Gut Become Leaky?

    The intestinal wall can be damaged and become “leaky” by:

    • Food allergies
    • Parasites
    • Bacterial infections
    • Viruses
