what is lupus?

i want to do my best to help, but i need to know what it is
autoimmune disease... where the body starts attacking its own cells. its believed to be caused by long term bad diet (especially grains, sugars, alcohol and transfats) that causes bad gut permeability allowing small proteins into the blood stream.. and when the body attacks those proteins it also attacks our cells that look almost the same as those proteins. for some reason its exacerbated by estrogen so it effects women more than men. the inflammation and rashes are symptoms.. and can be lessened with eliminating grain oils and sugars.

It’s an auto immune decease. Many patients have a rash on their face that resembles the shape of a butterfly. It may affect other body parts too, even the kidneys so much that they need a kidney transplant sometimes. Selena Gomez has it.

@missawiman97 cant really do much. just be there for them. theres drugs that weaken their immune cells and other kinds of drugs that can help prolong life but it can be lethal disease.
