TLDR A nutrition program significantly improved a woman's lupus symptoms.
Five years ago, a 40-year-old female with Systemic Erythematous Lupus (SLE) was treated with an anti-inflammatory diet and supplement protocol, including sublingual vitamin D, turmeric, resveratrol, glutamine, and a multi-vitamin/mineral with therapeutic levels of chromium and vanadium. After 120 days of treatment, she reported significant improvements in her symptoms: hormonal and gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as patchy hair loss, were completely resolved; fatigue improved by 95%, and she only needed one nap per month; she no longer experienced exercise intolerance and started gentle exercise four times per week without negative consequences; she could tolerate brief sun exposure without a rash developing; and her anxiety reduced by 90%. The author suggested further investigation into clinical nutrition and supplementation in the treatment of fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and immune-hormonal and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with a history of SLE.
