Those of you who read sci.misc and sci.med will have seen this already. A
reply from there pointed me here. Thus, I post the following... 

Hi all. My friend just told me that her friend has Lupus. Ann (not her real
name- I don't know it) has known this for a month, and is joining groups
of others with Lupus, i.e. talk sessions, etc., and is under medical super-
vision. She is looking for methods that other people with Lupus have discovered
help the symptoms and lessen the effects of it. I don't know anything about
it, so please excuse me if my terminology is incorrect. She is looking for
information that most doctors know but can't tell her, because of legal
reasons, etc. Anything that is widely known and prescibed/performed by
doctors she probably already knows from her doctor. She mentioned holistic
treatments, I am not familiar with the term. She and I will really appreciate
any help on this subject. Things like changing her diet, climate, etc.
Please email responses to jamesf@btr.com, since I have no time to  read news.
And thanx again.
