- aksss 4y agoThe immune system is not understood well at all, but western medicine does have quantifiable success in treatment of lupus. In the 40’s or 50’s, scientists/clinicians tracked a cohort of representative lupus patients and within two years of diag most were dead. Today lifespan has been greatly extended, protecting the organs being a big advance. IF you have lupus, and IF you get diagnosed, and IF you can afford proper prophylactic drugs and IF you manage your diet, exercise, sleep, stress better that you ever used to, you can usually manage it and hit old age. The western lifestyle is a bigger impediment to health than western medicine.
