Lupus and alternative treatments like Old chinese medicine

Hi there, My only experience is back 15 years ago when I was diagnosed my doctor also prescribed some herbal remedies and they gave me a horrid flare. I don't know if it was because of the herb or if it was the maker and/or where it was made and it wasn't pure enough or what, but I have been suspect ever since. I do occasionally take Tumeric capsules and Ginger capsules from places I trust. (I make the tumeric caps myself). On the other hand I have a great friend that does everything with her health thru a naturopath and she has been able to successfully battle things like really bad Type II diabetes with a super controlled diet and she takes supplements from places that she trusts. So I say if you can get to a good naturopath or other holistic healer that you trust-it's worth a try!!

Hi!

I go for accupuncture treatments every two weeks, and truly feel they help my ataxia and joint pain immensely. The blessing is our insurance pays for it, otherwise I couldn't go as often.
