Ginger and turmeric in lupus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that attacks the joints, skin, kidneys and heart. Chronic inflammation is the central driver.

Mechanisms of interest in lupus

• NF-κB inhibition — the central inflammatory pathway of lupus
• B cell modulation — curcumin modulates the production of autoantibodies
• Nephroprotection — protects the kidneys from lupus damage (lupus nephritis)
• Anti-fatigue — fatigue is the #1 symptom of lupus; anti-inflammation reduces fatigue
• Joint protection — lupus arthritis benefits from the COX-2 effect
• Cardioprotection — lupus increases cardiovascular risk; ginger protects

Complementary to treatment

Do NOT replace hydroxychloroquine, immunosuppressants or corticosteroids. Curcumin can help reduce cortisone doses (under medical supervision only).

Sugar worsens autoimmunity

Sugar stimulates the immune response and increases systemic inflammation. Zero sugar is crucial in any autoimmune disease.
