Lupus is unpredictable, attacking organs based on your body’s unique makeup. For me, it often targets my kidneys and heart—sometimes both at once. Occasionally, it hits other areas like my liver, skin, gallbladder, or stomach. After years of navigating doctors’ visits and refining my nutrition, I’ve learned to manage my symptoms largely on my own, without medications. In the past, I used Wormwood, HCQ, a brief trial of Ivermectin, and seasonal Fenben. Now, I incorporate nicotine and methylene blue occasionally.
In February 2025, my bloodwork was alarming—markers for heart attack or stroke risk were dangerously high, and my kidneys showed concerning signs. I monitor my labs through an independent longevity clinic in California. By April, after targeting inflammation in my heart and kidneys with specific supplements (guided by Grok’s insights), my blood markers returned to normal—some even better than normal.
This experience taught me that you can empower yourself with knowledge to heal. You know your body better than any doctor. I’ve seen remarkable results: my triglycerides dropped 200 points, calcium is back in my bones, and more. I’ve documented everything—lab reports, protocols, and next steps for remission—in a detailed report for my upcoming doctor’s visit. For the first time, I’ll ask my rheumatologist why he chose this field and whether he’d collaborate with me on innovative approaches. This is how we take control and win.
