Herbal Alternatives

I was diagnosed with SLE and APS around 25 years ago ; I take Warfarin to control my blood INR and have little or no trouble with this. The inflammation and connective tissue flare ups , I just try to endure , but as time goes by they are becoming harder to bear.

Because I believe that most of the conventional drugs used for SLE are toxic I decided to stop using them many years ago .

I firmly believe that there is a natural cure out there , just waiting to be found ; all the plants , trees , grasses and herbs , etc. have been placed on earth for a purpose.

My question is , has anyone with SLE used any natural remedies that has moderated their symptoms or ; dare I say it ; eradicated it.

If you are still taking warfarin then be aware that many herbal supplements interact with it -so check anything before you consider taking anything

Thanks for taking time to reply. I self monitor INR which allows me to experiment a little.
