Suggest Remedy For Strengthening Immune System

Hi, I am a 23 year old female and I was diagnosed with SLE/nephrotic syndrome 6 years ago. I have been on Cyclosporine since and off and on Prednisone when I have flare-ups. I prevent flare-ups mostly through diet, exercise and trying to live stress-free. If a corrupt immune system is the problem, and I take certain measures to strengthen my immune system while also taking immunosuppresants, do those measures even help? As I'm trying to strengthen my immune system, I'm also taking these toxic drugs. What I'm trying to ask is if my immune system can be strengthened while on this drug.

Hello

Thank You for contacting HCM.

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

My name is Dr Muhammad Ahmad & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way.


WHY SHOULDN'T YOU ?: All the problems you have are because your immune system is acting against you own body that's why doctors are giving you those meds which are hurting your immune system making it weak so that it doesn't destroy your own organs...

>>>Try to strengthen your BODY.....NOT the immune system...

Stay away from infections stay away from things that can hurt you stay away from people having contageous disease .....do your regular work our jump dance play sports as much as your body allows you... these drugs are for your benefit ..... weaker is your immune system ... safer you are...and longer you will live..


CONCLUSION:
-take meds regularly
-you can live a normal life talk to people with lupus and watch them having great lives on U.teeyoob
-Try to make your Body strong not your IMMUNE system in this disease its your enemy.

Hope this answers your question.
