Need-To-Know Facts About Malar Rash and Lupus

The Malar Rash associated with many Lupus patients, is not funny! It is disfiguring and embarrassing... not to mention scary! As a Naturopathic Physician, I am always in favor of alternative therapies. I find that the traditional allopathic treatments/medications, have side effects that are sometimes as bad as the Lupus or other disease being treated. I'm telling you from experience that there is a way to rid yourself of this debilitating disease called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

There are a wide variety of traditional therapies. Some of them are strong and aggresive, and others are mild. In my experience, conventional therapies are only moderately effective in controlling symptoms. And, they have no curative value at all. Treatment of Lupus varies from one patient to another. Also, the symptoms vary from person to person. Malar Rash is one symptoms of Lupus that does not effect all SLE sufferers.

The patient may be the one to notice the rash and remember hearing something about the relationship between a facial rash and Lupus. It is important to see your PCP who will refer you to a rheumatologist shortly after receiving the positive diagnosis. The rheumatoid specialist has experience with diseases affecting the joints and muscles. Most of my patients complain about severe pain of the arms and hips. This disease can move to the organs as well. In those circumstances, specialists may be called in to control the progression of the disease. And, of course the skin is an organ which is sometimes attacked by Lupus.

Initially, right after a diagnosis of Lupus, your physician will devise a treatment plan with various goals in mind. Since the pain level arises from inflammation, reducing it will be given primary consideration. Lupus has been found to go into remission and return with seasonal "flareups". Another goal is to be prepared for the flareup seasons so as to minimize the patient's discomfort with the onset of new flareups. Control of the immune system is another goal, using immune suppressants. Patients tell me that pain management is at the top of their list of goals. While the patient wants the joint pain to go away... his or her physician will have the goal of preserving the joints. There are prescription medications for all of these goals.

The Lupus Foundation of American has lists of categories of drugs used to treat the symptoms of Lupus. They are: Diuretics to reduce fluid retention or edema, hbp medications, seizure medications, antibiotics and osteoporosis medications. And, of course steroids will be an important part of the standard treatment for SLE. In my practice, Lupus sufferers have found significant symptom improvement by changes in lifestyle and diet.

Verified Successful Treatment for Malar Rash and Lupus!

If you have landed on this page, you have probably developed a Malar Rash; and, you are thinking.... could it be related to Lupus. Or, you have been diagnosed with Lupus. The joint pain, the aching and even worse for some people.... the un-lovely butterfly rash. SLE or Systemic Lupus Erythematosis is an inflammatory, auto-immune disease with a variety of symptoms. There are other types of lupus; but, SLE is sometimes identified by the appearance of the "butterfly" rash or malar rash.

The butterfly rash is just like the name states. The wings of the butterfly are on the cheeks and the body crosses over the bridge of the nose. The color of the rash can be anywhere from reddish to darker purplish. It can have a nubby texture. It can also come and go. In some patients it appears once and then never returns, even though the patient continues to have other symptoms of Lupus. SLE attacks organs as well. It involves primarily joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells and the nervous system. The disease also goes into remission for some patients. This insidious disease literally causes the body to attack itself.

Lupus goes misdiagnosed in many patients. They are tested for everything from MS to arthritis. SLE looks like other diseases and is sometimes the last option considered. It is diagnosed by assessing a myriad of clinical findings and lab tests. SLE patients require constant monitoring to manage prescription medications along with the progression of the illness. New organ involvement can be devastating if not detected early. Monitoring therapies is equally important to ensure that the patient is responding well to the treatment.

This is what I hear in my practice... "I hurt everywhere!" They may state that it is primarily joint pain. They may state that their arms are exquisitely painful and aching. They may say that either the right or the left side hurts more. And they always mention how tired they feel "all the time!" They wake up tired. Because fibromyalgia and MS look a lot like SLE--in terms of symptoms--the diagnosis may not be reached immediately. However, if a rash suddenly appears on the face, the physician will usually immediately want to rule out Lupus. Not all Lupus patients develop a rash. And, in some cases the rash can spread to other places on the body.

Autoimmune diseases, like Lupus, are still baffling scientists. Autoimmunity means there are problems with the immune system's ability to work properly. The body may have difficulty differentiating between harmful and healthy substances. Additionally, the body sometimes doesn't recognize self and non-self. I use an analogy of the stomach. When we eat chicken, the body knows to digest the chicken and not digest the stomach lining. When the immune system attacks healthy cells it may go into "overdrive". The result is an inflammatory response. Inflammation equals pain. To get rid of the malar rash, you have to get rid of the Lupus.

If you haven't heard about it yet, every day people just like you are successfully dealing with Malar Rash (or Butterfly rash) and Lupus. The scientific research of three of the world's leading experts in the "causes of Lupus" have been compiled by Julie Liu--a nutrition counselor and expert. You are probably tired of bandaide medicine-covering up symptoms instead of getting at the root cause.

Julie Liu has compiled testimonies from hundreds of people who have found her information and followed the protocol. They have returned to living normal, healthy lives -- free from pain.

There is a solid treatment that speaks to the cause of Lupus. Julie has fully recovered from Lupus herself and is here and healthy to tell her story. These little known secrets will give you the relief found by so many others -- and fast! The underlying cause for Lupus has been found and you can reverse it in your body. Here's what you will learn:

Doctors have said for years that Lupus is hereditary. They are quick to admit that the disease is not well understood. Conventional medicine does not even touch two important stages of Lupus; and, as we know, only addresses the symptoms, not the cause. Understanding that lupus is a "cellular disease" is critical. The extracellular matrix has been studied for years in Europe. Once you know how to help your cells communicate with one another, you will begin to recover from Lupus... And, by the way, get rid of that ugly Malar Rash!

Patients with Lupus have a disturbance in the Extracellular Matrix which is caused by one singular biological trigger. Once this problem is resolved, rejuvenation will ensue. You will be shocked to know that studies have begun in various parts of the country to study Lupus and its link to problems within the extra cellular matrix, but sadly most of them were shut down before getting off the ground. Why? Julie Liu believes it is because Lupus strikes primarily women. And secondly, because pharmaceutical companies and research are driven by the dollar, not by the needs of society.
