Remedies for lupus

Remedies for lupus: Professor Akim Bouterra's advice, complemented by what research says (autoimmune diseases, medicinal mushrooms), the precautions to know, and our resources for going further.

As is well known, lupus is an autoimmune disease. There are remedies such as camel milk and camel urine, which should be taken once a week on an empty stomach for three months.

Chinese mushrooms such as maitake will be effective; you should take three capsules a day for three months as well, then move on to another mushroom, reishi, and finally shiitake. Taking these three mushrooms over the course of the year will bring good results. Since lupus is due to an immune problem, ginger and turmeric herbal teas will therefore be a good ally, and you can drink two cups a day.

What the science says: autoimmune diseases, medicinal mushrooms

What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes; healing belongs to Allah.

Autoimmune diseases

Stress (Arthritis Res Ther, 2010), microbiome imbalance (Front Immunol, 2021), vitamin D deficiency (Nutrients, 2023), and diet are recognized as factors in autoimmune diseases; omega-3s (Autoimmun Rev, 2024) and black seed (Int Immunopharmacol, 2015) have a documented anti-inflammatory effect, and diet influences psoriasis (Clin Nutr, 2025). Precaution: never stop a background treatment; certain immunostimulant plants (echinacea) are not advised; courses should be decided together with a practitioner.

Medicinal mushrooms

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) and other medicinal mushrooms contain beta-glucans and triterpenes with immunomodulatory effects, critically reviewed (Phytother Res, 2021) (Biomolecules, 2022) (Molecules, 2023) — hence their place in the immune-support courses the professor recommends. Precaution: quality and origin should be verified; caution in case of immunosuppressive treatment, anticoagulants, or before surgery; courses of 2 to 3 months rather than continuous use.
