General Recommendations

a. Sip one (1) mouthful of distilled or filtered water every 30 minutes while awake. Drink more if you are perspiring.

b. Eliminate all hydrogenated fats and oils. Use only fresh extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and fish oils as your source of dietary oils

c. Avoid refined carbohydrate, processed food, alcohol, dairy products, and gluten containing grains and caffeine containing foods.

d. Avoid excess consumption of juice as well as fruits and vegetables high in fast acting sugars.

e. Increase raw food and quality protein especially fish and sea vegetables. If renal dysfunction is present, insure total protein consumption remains low and is of good quality, i.e., easily digestible.

f. Eat a diet low in the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, i.e. very low intakes of beef and dairy products.
g. Follow, instead, a vegan diet that is low in these 2 amino acids. Also avoid Alfalfa sprouts and tablets, which can aggravate some SLE patients.

h. Supplementation with tryptophan or 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) should also be avoided (unless it is first shown to be tolerated) as some SLE patients have abnormal metabolism for this substance.
3. Primary Supplemental Support: The following program can be expensive and difficult to follow; however, SLE does not lend itself to conservative treatment. This program should be used only after consultation with a doctor qualified to manage SLE.

	I'm going "ok". I could be better and I know I have to watch watch I eat. I have to severely limit animal protein. What's a black chick gon do without my fried chicken It's sooo challenging... Food is my life. I'm definitely one who lives to eat. But I have faith in myself. I keep slipping... but i keep getting back up.

	I'd imagine that this would be a decent preventative too? Thanks D. How were you diagnosed? OT You're absolutely beautiful! I've seen such a change in you in the past few months. It's just awesome! Whatever you're doing... keep it up.

	i was diagnosed when I was 15. I remember going to the gyno because this boy rubbed against me in the hallway. It was a dry hump but being that I was young and had NO sex ed, I thought I was preg because I had on shorts and they could swim. anyway, the gyno tested me for Lupus and it came out positive. yeah, i was a lil fast behind...

	thank you so much dsylla!! I will definitely be discussing this with my rheumatologist...he always tells me I need to take my lupus more serious anyway.

	unless you have a rheumy who is into alternative healing, he/she may not be trying to hear you. Well, that's been my experience. Make sure you do your own research

	Thanks for this information. I have Sarcoidosis and have not had a flare up for some time. I already practice and use most of the suggestions. I already practice vegetarianism but I cannot cut out the meat so I stick to alternating wiTH white meat. I will pass this info on to friends who have this illness. Thanks for sharing.
