AMAZING LUPUS DIET THAT WORKS

I have had Lupus for over 20 years & have been on about every medicine available WITH ALL THE BAD SIDE EFFECTS. I was skeptical about this diet but desperate for a safer way to get rid of the pain. My doctor was amazed at how quickly my pain went from a constant "9" to a "2" and stayed there! I am healthier than I've been in years!

Outstanding very helpful book!

Jill's book was outstanding and very helpful. I bought 4 copies to give to other relatives who are caretaking and preparing food for my 4th grader who has a Lupus diagnosis. It was such an easy-read that he read and understood Jill's book as well and is now active in his own caretaking! I highly recommend this book to everyone who has or knows of someone with a Lupus diagnosis. It's a godsend.

It's all about vegan

Presents a good argument for adopting a vegan diet as an alternative for managing autoimmune system disorders. It may be worth a try in lieu of Prednisone, Plaqenil, Cellcept and every other drug my rheumatologist keeps prescribing.

Solid Foundations

This book is just what I was looking for- a guide to managing my Lupus-like disease naturally. I only started the diet 2 days ago, so I cannot yet vouch for its efficacy, but a vegan diet is mentioned in numerous places elsewhere in terms of its benefit to those with autoimmunity. Ms. Harrington lays out a plan and justification, offering information as well as support. It can be overwhelming and confusing to look at all the health information out there on managing these illnesses, but this plan is where I choose to start.

Be cautious about how you approach healing your Lupus.

I bought this book perhaps three years ago when I was first diagnosed with Lupus. I read it extensively. I have had Lupus for more than a decade now, although I was only diagnosed just before I purchased this book. I am 45 years old, and I can honestly say that good nutrition is pivotal for any healthy body, but that Jill's proposed diet should be viewed with caution. There are indeed some lovely ideas about using whole foods, but here I was, a vegetarian for most of my life, eating a whole foods based diet, as slim as can be, and still searching for ways to amend my already sound eating habits to hopefully embrace remission. I too have Celiac disease and many people with Lupus have other comorbidities. My advice is not to look at this book as the only way to heal. Far more helpful to me (and I was a practicing pharmacist for many years) was to discover a wonderful naturopath. With no Lupus medications, my approach to healing is all about stress control, rest, diet, exercise and supplements. Most importantly, get an allergy screen. The night shades are not good for anyone with Lupus and this is not made clear in the book. After working with my naturopath, and after 30 years, I began to eat wild fish and use fish oil supplements. Last week, after 40 years, and following the Type O diet as elaborated by Dr. Dr D'Adamo, I began to eat grass fed meat. That was the most difficult thing to do and not something that Jill would ever advocate. I avoid the fruits and veggies that are toxic to my blood type and I honesly can say that for the first time in years, I am feeling so much better. My thoughts about Jill's work is that diet is important in helping people with Lupus feel better, but her diet is certainly not for everyone. In fact, eating raw produce even though organic, can be quite dangerous if you are immune-compromized. There are times when people with Lupus need to eat softer cooked foods so as not to stress the gut and avoid possible infections. I would strongly suggest eating according to your blood type, while avoiding allergens after allergy testing. Stay away from alfala and nightshades all together. I know Jill uses nightshades but they are pro-inflammatory. Gluten containing foods are also pro-inflammatory and should be avoided regardless of sensitivities. Certain gluten-free grains are wonderful like quinoa and buckwheat and I do not think Jill favors the use of grains. I think too often in life we grapple with the illusion that one plan fits all. Would it not be so lovely if that held true. I certainly think that Jill has devoted so much of her life's work to helping people with Lupus, but from my own journey, I have begun to understand immunology a whole lot more. Eating foods that do not awaken those auto-anti-bodies might just be another logical approach.

This could be the most important book you'll ever read if you, or someone you love, has lupus. Jill Harrington, the author, recovered from lupus over twelve years ago, using a specific diet and lifestyle. And... she's not the only one. You will read the stories of other people who have done the same thing. It isn't widely known how much of an effect the foods you eat can have on lupus and other autoimmune diseases. The people in this book have found that diet, sleep and exercise can make a profound difference. This book provides the exact program they followed, so that you can try it for yourself.
