Abstract:

Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a kind of multi-system autoimmune disorder with unknown aetiology and it produces antibodies against various tissues. Case Presentation:The patient wasa 44-year-old woman with a history of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus for approximately five years, along with underlying diseases including peptic ulcers, asthma, hypertension and diabetes in the past 10 years. The patient was referred to a traditional medicine clinic for counselling in July 2012 with a bad complaint related to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in addition to relevant medical treatment complications. The patient was put under health and nutrition control after arrival at the traditional medicine clinic. In this case, pharmaceutical measures were taken according to the temperament and the disease status, and medicinal plants and combination drugs were applied. Manual actions, including cupping therapy, massage, Hijama and leech therapy, were used on the patient according to a compiled program. The pain and the disease symptoms completely disappeared, and clinical tests began for investigating the patient’s laboratory status after about three months. The first experiment indicated that the lupus and diabetes items were normalized, so that there were no more effects of clinical and laboratory symptoms of the diseases after six months and the patient did not take any chemical drug. Finally, during four years of patient follow-up from 2012 to 2016, the patient did not have any symptoms of lupus, diabetes, hypertension, asthma, headache and digestive problems; and all the tests were repeated and all the results came out normal in 2016. Conclusion: Given the patient’s recovery process with an approach to her physical power, mental status, blood sugar control, and significant recovery of her Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and underlying diseases, it seems that the combination of modern and traditional medicine can pave the way for curing most of the common diseases, and thus it is essential to conduct widespread assessments of different diseases based on the teachings of Iranian Effective Medicine.
