How does the kit work to help my dog with Lupus? First, it is important to note that this disease has no known ‘cure’. Conventional therapy uses steroids to suppress the immune system. Steroids have many unwanted side effects. What we have done in formulating our Lupus Support Kit is to use an herbal blend organic calendula cream as a topical ointment. This cream (non-petroleum base) helps to heal dry, cracked and fissured skin. The next level -working from the inside- combines homeopathic remedies (based on ‘like cures like’). These remedies were chosen because they match the classic Lupus symptoms of dry cracks and fissures around the nose. Homeopathy is nontoxic and has no side effects. The remedies work gently to stimulate the body to respond naturally.

TESTIMONIALS
Hello, First, I must say thank you for your canine lupus kit. Our Australian Shepard, Roy, had a terrible issue with his nose until we used your products and our vet can't believe it all cleared up without steroids! So, I thank you and Roy thanks you as he is not going to have to have a biopsy on his nose!!!
I also sent two of our neighbors to your site as they have dogs that itch after swimming and hiking...you folks are great!

Hi Michael.
Shelby's red, crusty nostril looks better. It has always been just his right nostril, now I notice his left nostril is pink. It is no where close to how red his right nostril was when I contacted you. I have given him the components of the Lupus kit for 1 week and I see the crustiness has gone away and the black pigment is starting to return. - SL

 Discoid lupus is an immune mediated skin disease that is probably related to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) but instead of affecting the whole body as SLE does, it primarily affects the nose and face. From what is know, there is no known cause of this problem but it does seem more frequent in dogs of the German Shepherd, Collie, Brittany Spaniel. Shetland Sheepdog, Siberian Husky and German Shorthaired Pointer breeds.
The disease normally starts as loss of pigment around the nose. There may be scabby sores or just scaling of the nasal tissue. The surface of the nose may change from its typical cobblestoned appearance to a smooth surface. As this disease progresses it can cause deep sores on the borders of the nose where it meets normal skin and the sores start to progress up the bridge of the nose. Some dogs seem to be really bothered by this condition and others show little reaction to the sores.
Ultraviolet light seems to make the sores worse, so the disease may appear to be seasonal. It is more common in areas in which exposure to ultraviolet light is increased, such as high altitudes. If the depigmentation leads to sunburn, squamous cell carcinoma becomes more likely than in other dogs. Topical sunscreens can be very beneficial, although it is hard to get dogs to leave them on. Keeping the dog in during the peak sunlight hours is probably the most effective way to prevent excessive exposure to UV light.
