[McCulley2018, pp 28, 35, 89, 275-285] reports that lupus is a TH2-dominant, systemic, autoimmune disorder, and proposes an approach to treating this disease, which should be supervised by a properly trained medical professional.
Dr. Weyrich has considerable interest in this topic, but has not treated any cases of lupus with Immune System Balancing.
Dr. Weyrich notes that there are two forms of lupus: SLE (systemic) and DLE (discoid), and that one is mediated by TH2 and the other is mediated by TH1. This dialectic is also observed in Hansen's disease (leprosy).

According to the Low Dose Naltrexone home page [LDN], LDN has been seen to benefit many different autoimmune diseases. Dr. Bernard Bihari [Bihari2003], [Bihari2013], who has successfully treated over 300 autoimmune cases, reports that "all have experienced a halt in progression of their illness. In many patients there was a marked remission in signs and symptoms of the disease."
Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of lupus with LDN.

Neuro Research [Hinz2015] reports that chronic diseases such as Discoid Lupus Erythematosus can be benefited by balancing neurotransmitter levels in the body.
Dr. Weyrich has been trained in neurotransmitter balancing protocols, but has not treated lupus using this technique.
