Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can be fatal, though with recent medical advances, fatalities are becoming increasingly rare. As with other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. SLE can affect any part of the body, but most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness (called flares) alternating with remission. In SLE, the body's immune system produces antibodies against itself, particularly against proteins in the cell nucleus. SLE is triggered by environmental factors which are unknown (but probably include viruses), in people with certain combinations of genes in their immune system. SLE is a chronic inflammatory disease believed to be a type III hypersensitivity response with potential type II involvement.

My spouse is 67 years old and has been suffering from SLE Lupus disease for the past 4years. Lately her condition started hallucinating and I did not know how to handle the situation. She could not sleep and tried to find and catch the imaginary people who she thinks are real, she had face rash, joint stiffness for several years and was gradually becoming worse before we found Lupus herbal supplement from www madibaherbalcenter. com that was able to get rid of her SLE/Lupus disease and alleviate all symptoms within the short period of her 3 months of using the herbal remedy.
