This guy says we should all be eating all raw, including raw meat (ew!)
I totally agree that diet has an incredible impact on health, and that we should avoid dairy and processed food.
I've even heard you should avoid the nightshade family of food (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplants), and i don't eat these foods much at all. They all give me heartburn anyway.
After I learned what margarine was made for- to fatten up turkeys- I gave that up as well. Anything buttery that won't melt? gross.
Eating loads of fresh veggies and fruit? I think everyone agrees with this, even our government, and they're not exactly cutting edge with nutrition.
I'm not so sure i'm ready to give up rice or nuts and seeds, but I will entertain the idea.
And this I know: I darn sure am not eating raw meat.
That just doesn't make sense to me, because I read elsewhere that 100% of lupus patients have low stomach acid. How are we supposed to digest it? And secondly, raw meat is filled with pathogens, and we have suppressed immunity; how are we supposed to fight off things like salmonella- and worms? ew, ew, EW!!!
All the same I am pleased to see someone doing some research on the impact of diet on lupus, because it is something we can control it's not drugs, and it is an affordable cure.
As for my feelings on raw meat?
Well, feel free to disagree.
In fact, discuss.

I'm looking into raw food too atm. I'm a bit hesitant about ALL raw food though because as you said lupus patients often can't digest well. Also, I'm into chinese med and that is based a lot on warm and cold foods including how the food is cooked (or not) and sometimes your body seems to need warmer foods that are cooked. I think one remedy doesn't work for all people so really all you can do is try them yourself and see how your body reacts. I'm really skeptical of one sort of diet being the ONLY right way. Also, different blood types need diff foods- some do well with meat and some not so well for example- don't know about raw meat but wouldn't rule it out completely, I suppose.
i've definitely been trying out different foods too. some raw some cooked different ways. i'm vegetarian so at least i'm not worrying about the pathogens in meat, but living in a tropical country the pathogens can be an issue in uncooked vegetables too so i feel like it's a toss up... and it's harder than it sounds to only eat raw!
