Guest greytloves Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Does anyone have a homeopathic/alternative therapy doc that does phone consults that you recommend? I've emailed out to Dr. Doug but have not heard back. (He wrote the Naural Healing book and a few others) My foster has discoid lupus and I'm looking for the protocols of the sulfur + aurum met treatment. I want to get him away from the steroid use if at all possible for his long term treatment but really want the guidance of a doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahicks51 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Google up lupus + naltrexone. It's pretty interesting stuff, but you're pushing double-risky: no trials with humans for lupus, best as I know, and no trials with dogs for anything. But- inexpensive, safe, and potentially effective with virtually no side effects. Quote Coco (Maze Cocodrillo) Minerva (Kid's Snipper) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissn333 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 One of my pups has lupus and she only takes prednisone if she has a really bad flare up, so, if this foster is new and just being treated, the prednisone is probably necessary now to get it under control, but will not be needed forever. Pinky takes a lot of vitamins and tetracycline. No steroids. The naltrexone is worth looking into though I don't know much about it. Don' t know anything about the treatment you're asking about either, sorry.

dbullwinkel Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 My Ig has discoid lupus..he was only on pred when it was really bad..along with doxy, vitamin e and salmon oil and a prescription ointment for nose, protopic..Now he is only on vitamin E and Salmon oil. I have read grain free helps, but i have not been able to find a quality grain free he can tolerate. He is on limited ingredients IVD food for stomach issues..lupus seems fine! I will keep close eye on him now that wood stove is on in the house. Vet also mentioned niacimin (spelling)..also, sunscreen and avoid sun during midday hours.
