Hope this isn't too OT; but I have a friend with lupus, and was wondering if
there are any specifically *nutrition-related* insights that people
hereabouts might have.

He seems to have very badly disrupted digestion: would it be a good idea to
get him on a high-dose regimen of vitamin and mineral supplements?

All thoughts and ideas gratefully received!

John Gohd: don't bother to respond.

Thanks to everyone.

If he's having gut problems, pouring pills into him wouldn't be first on
my list. I'd try an elimination diet, first. Start with starches,
wheat first, then work on through the list. You can google up a
protocol for doing it.

Also consider whether it's truly lupus or an infectious disease causing
lupus like findings, like tick borne diseases can.

The foreword to _Dangerous Grains_ (forward written by Jonathan Wright,
M.D.) discusses Dr. Chris Reading's treatment of more than one hundred
patients with systemic lupus. These patients eliminated gluten and dairy
from their diets and their symptoms disappeared and their blood tests
normalized.
