Frank, I would not call the use of CS as a "Cure", but rather a "control" of Lupus. In fact, IMHO, this statement can be applied to a number of autoimmune conditions. There is a school of thought that MS, Lupus, Sarcoidosis, R. Arthritis and a few others are primarily caused, not by our immune systems going "crazy", but by the immune system's attempt to eliminate a virus or pathogen deep in the tissues of the organ being attacked. In these cases, CS will take care of the virus/pathogen immediately present, and if exposure to these substances never happens again, then in time the damage, if not too severe can be repaired, and subscequently reveresed. Recently there have been some significant studies where onset attacks have been treated with some unusual broad spectrum antibiotics, with great success. In most cases they expect to have to repeat the antibiotic treatment some time in the future. IMHO, this ties in completely with the diet-based "cures" theory, as it appears that in many cases the "virus/pathogen" cannot be identified, and that is because there is NONE! The immune response appears to have been triggered by common substances that the body has erroneuously identified as "virus/pathogen". Most often these common substances are foods, such as gluten, wheat, corn, dairy, potatoes etc. The theory behind this is that some virus/pathogens disguise themselves as these food molecules, and once the immune systems Natural Killer cells "out" the disguised invaders (known as "lectins"), any molecules even "resembling" these invaders are routed out, hence the body starts attacking itself, and the "disease" is back. Both these theories make perfect sense to me, so there is my personal auto-immune cure: 1) Kill any viral/pathogen infection with abx. or preferably CS in the most efficient way. 2) Re-educate the immune system, so it can distinguish friend from foe. IMHO, this is best accomplished by a course of immune system infopeptides. (Yes, this does exist). 3) Avoid the offending easily imitated food molecules, such as gluten, wheat, corn, etc. so that the body gets a chance to repair the damage of the attacks, if it can, and to at the very least, prevent further damage. Again, IMHO, this is best accomplished by following the blood type diet, where your food choices are dictated by your blood type, therefore your digestive system will only have to contend with food that it can handle, and only properly processed food molecules will pass into the body tissues, and the immune system will be less likely to react inappropriately. To those of you that would pooh-hooh the blood type diet, bear in mind one thing, our boddies are created with maximum efficiency, purpose and order. If blood type and digestion have no relation at all, why would the gene controlling blood type be located in the midst of the genes that control digestion? As an aside, in horses, the genes controlling blood type are located with the genes that control coat color. In essence, the blood type diet is the practical application of the study of "Lectinolgy", which is getting a lot of validation in Europe, etc. 4) Adopt a "positive mental attitude" regarding the auto-immune condition, using methods like EFT (Emotion Freedom Technique). This will help to keep the body (and Soul) in proper working order, and delay/prevent relapses. This is my take on the "cure" of most auto-immune conditions. I am not a professional scientist, (and no one would mistake me for one! LOL ) and have used almost all simple laymen terms, but the principles are basically sound, and there is a ton of references out there to back-up my theories. For myself, this has been the control of my MS, Fibromyalgia, carpel tunnel syndrone and CFS. After 6 years of wheelchairs, walkers, canes, blurry vision, etc, I can now begin to envision a time when I might become a "useful productive member of society" again. I have almost completed one year of NO hospitalizations, great decrease in prescription meds, and even periods of BOREDOM!! There is no magic bullet for auto-immune conditions, which makes sense, as there is no one cause. All MHO. Jannette

Depending on the cause of the Lupus. Lupus itself is not a single disease. It's not a disease that has one cause. Some of the things that can cause Lupus are: - Iron Overload. - Infections like HIV and Lyme Disease. - Reactions to drugs. - Genetic metabolic disorder. - Reaction to a chemical, like DDT or a pesticide. - Vaccine reaction. Even a food allergy to bread can cause Lupus like symptoms. Diagnoses usually happens after they find a "butterfly rash" and elevated ANA, and SED rate. Now, with CS, to be honest. It won't work for all cases for Lupus for a cure. Like If you have a bread allergy, or a reaction to a drug. You can take CS till the cows come home, and it won't do you much good as far as a cure. It may help with opportunistic infections, since people that have Lupus, usually have lowered immune systems. Now, most cases of Lupus are not caused by genetics. Most cases of Lupus are caused by environmental factors. And most of the environmental factors that I have found that can cause Lupus, are mostly due to infections like Lyme, HIV, Hep C, microplasma and stealth viruses. If that case of Lupus, is cause by a pathogen, then CS should be able to kill off the invador is administered properly. I have heard of HIV cases being put into remission from IV CS. So yes, depending on the cause, a percentage of Lupus victoms can be cured. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Reniger To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 12:48 AM Subject: CS>Has anyone had success with CS and LUPUS?
