What causes lupus?
January '08 Filed in: Health
What causes lupus? Well. We don't really know. The general assumption is that the body's immune system has gone haywire has started attacking itself, but what if the immune system is doing the best it can. What if the body is trying it's best to eliminate the source of the problem? What if the real problem is underlying unresolved inflammation and eventually the body tries to eliminate the inflammation before a more serious and deadly disease takes advantage of the body's weakness.
If that's the case, then lupus sufferers should find significant relief if the cause of the inflammation can be identified and eliminated.
