My Friend Just Got News re: Lupus

[FancyPantsandMe]

I just had a long talk with a dear friend of mine, Diane, and she said good bye to her Lupus doctor last week as she has now had 4 consecutive tests , after 10 years of fighting this disease, that she no longer has it!  She is LUPUS free, ful reversal and healed.  

now the interesting thing here is she is STILL a DAILY smoker! lol

It takes all kinds, and who knows what's going to happen to your health.  Keep doing what you know to do!

This kind of news just makes me giggy with excitement for my own health issues.

I have been doing this for the past 5 years ( trying this and that and changing my diet).
I have now started a new board in yhaoo on Autoimmune..a place where i can post EVERYTHING I have found,learned, doing and continue to learn about autoimmune.  I can't keep up with all the boards and my blog sites etc.  So am consolidating in one place.

I am also a Life Coach.

What I have witnessed in myself and others when it comes to changing thier diet is SUPPORT...it takes support from other people ( I don't think it is very easy to do it alone). So WHERE you get your support is important to how your life is designed.  Is on-line support enough or do you need people in your community to support you?

ALSO second only to support is education!  In the last 5 years I have come to find, personally, that learning about food and how my body works with the KIND of food I put in it, helps me to make the BETTER/HEALTHIER choices.

What have you tried so far? how long have you been at it? do you have support? and how much do you KNOW about food and what it does in your personal body? :-)

Changing your diet that much has got to be one of the most difficult things that I can imagine to do!  Yet she still smokes?  Talk about free radicals!  The MonaVie could be doing so much more help with free radicals if she quit smoking so many in.

I was able to give up smoking, changing my dietary habits has been the most difficult task that I have tried.

Any good suggestions on how to get the diet under control?

Thanks, Karen

Yes she started with a seizure, brain, 10 years ago...had no idea she even had Lupus..then life got really bad..she had a brain tumor and that's when they figured out she had LUPUS..I don't think the two were related at all..the brain tumor and the LUPUS..they just happened to find the lupus.  So for the last 10 years she had tested positive for the lupus and the last 18 months she has tested negative. They were able to operate and get the tumor out it was NOT cancer.

She couldn't go in the sun and she would break out in these rashes. She was tired a lot too.

She has changed her diet to a mostly LIVING diet..meaning a lot of fruits and vegetables. No animal products and no PROCESSED anything.  She is on MonaVie, and she still smokes like a chimney.  She also changed her attitude about her disease and REFUSED to take the medications her doctor prescribed.  She would get the prescription filled but wouldn't take them.  She works in the medical field and knows a lot about a lot of drugs and she researched this one and said NO WAY..that was going to only ADD to her problems.

The more I research the more I find that FOOD changes everything.

Clarify?  she previously had positive tests for lupus, and now had four consecutive negative tests?  Did she do anything in particular to feel better?

Thanks in advance,
Karen
