I have tried it! I feel little better when i stay strict on the diet. Ive been to two different ones. Both times, i was given the same diet plan (pretty much the same as all the anti-inflam diets: no processed foods, gluten, sugar, coffee, alcohol, pork, ect). They also gave me tons of supplements -so many it made me sick to take them all. I believe a healthy diet and stretches and low impact excercise (swim, yoga, pilates) are the biggest help. Stress is my biggest trigger so if it financially stresses you, i would consider just doing the research and meal planning on line where its free

You all have been most helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to post. Seems like a money pit. The labs he was charging me almost $300 to run for basic Labs I've had run a hundred times like EBV, metabolic panel, A1c, hormones, Etc. It seems like all people that see a functional medicine physician have the same results. They are put on an anti-inflammatory diet, which we already know how to abide by. I've heard from others that they were diagnosed with some type of parasite or metal toxicity. so they recommend a certain type of water system in your house. the exchangeable jugs, not a filter. Everyone walks away with many expensive supplements. I'm just not so sure I believe all that. I am all about holistic and alternative treatments, but there's just something fishy about it. I agree with the statement that if it cured we would all be well. I did a lot of research and couldn't find where people had been healed in great numbers. I asked my doctor to prescribe me low-dose Naltrexone years ago and just ordered it from a compounding pharmacy for cheap. And didn't really seem to help me then, but I would be willing to try it again.

I use complimentary/alternative medical modalities. I control most of my symptoms by diet, exercise and such. I heavily use supplements. I would advise against spending that much money on any treatment protocol that has you going back again and again. When using complimentary health make absolutely sure the practitioner has an up to date scientific base for what they are doing.

SLE is trixy. The best illustration I was given for what I deal with was that most people have a nice curve which to balance their health on. I have a triangle. Gobs of supplements is a good way to throw you off your point. I want you to be en pointe. :)

I just started Turmeric. It seems to help with focus and pain as well as fatigue. Diet is important as well. I take some supplements but not overboard. Please remember to be careful as if we take things that boost immune system it will cause problems. Stay away from garlic if you are not already as it's something that will cause major issues.

Good glad to hear u r rethinking that listen they know we r sick and some people it’s all about money and some of these natural, functional med docs didn’t make it in med school so they went this route u hv to remember that they could be making alot much more on a hospital staff or office so they go easy route. And we know from blog here and research “we do “ We really know at end of day what we need to do there is no getting to core unless ur at Mayo Clinic under a study and stem cell research . Although with the LDN not as expensive and lots and I mean lots of good reviews bought the LDN book, went to LDN blog, really researched it first before made that call I think just my opionion u hv to stick with it as it works it’s not magic it’s gonna take time and for the few bucks it’s worth the try if it where up in thousands and all that would of found a sit down doc. Would of had to hv some proof etc etc But at such a low cost with soooo many success stories went for it but again u hv to stick it out everyday take it be done with it and go 6 months and see what happens like said already feel that fevery feeling warm feeling inside subsiding very noticeable which In Turn doesn’t make u feel crappy cuz ur not burning up inside , now the energy waiting on that just take one day at a time . But be Leary out there too many scammers if too good too be true it is . Everything is trial & error with this disease until they get there head out of asses and find a drug to help us without the side effects and bandaids . Like said keep searching natural way but there are places lot cheaper and don’t need to see u 2 times a week good luck hon hugs🦋🦋🦋
