The wolf is an apt avatar for lupus. A crafty predator with keen intelligence, he studies the lay of the land and adapts to his environment, to master his fate. We can learn a lot from this clever canine. By paying close attention to our diets and other environmental factors, studying our bodies' reactions and measuring our strengths and energies, we can become very foxy about lupus.To fight

If you’ve read Lupus And A Wolf-Wise Diet and the fact based food-wise articles at Lupus NewsLog, you’re familiar with our nutritional needs and dietary restrictions. Even if we can’t sample everything offered on the grocery store shelves, we needn’t go on tasteless, boring diets. The only nutritional plan that will ever work is the one that we enjoy. We just need to switch some negative

If you've read Chris's story on our Lupus NewsLog Thrivers page, you know she believes in feeding her wolf into submission. Chris has been coping with her lupus through good nutrition for years and she's very happy with the results. Years ago, Chris decided she wouldn't let lupus ruin her appetite for life. She studied the nutritional techniques of accomplished foodies, experimented in her own

Drink two glasses of Green Drink each day. Make one cup of green juice from any green vegetables. Suggested vegetables include beet tops, spinach, parsley, zucchini, kale, cucumbers, green leafy lettuce, dandelion leaves, collard greens and wheatgrass.

In the summer, salads are so easy and fun to make. Don’t just use lettuce, like usual. Mushrooms, spring greens, cucumbers and baby carrot can add vitamins and spice to your salad. Perk up with almonds, walnuts or dried cranberries. I keep this in a bottle that I bought at a $1 store. You can find very beautiful bottles at local stores, and this makes an excellent gift. I store in refrigerator

Garlic is a natural antibiotic and I use this soup when I am not feeling well. It is very intense and you may need to “get used” to it, but it is really worth it. I suggest you save glass jars for this soup. The garlic gets into plastic and will NOT come out, no matter how many times you run it through the dishwasher. I use salsa jars, label taken off and scoured clean. Ginger can be found at

I love brown rice. I would rather use it than potatoes, but time sometimes makes it impossible to use for dinner. Whenever I make brown rice, I make a couple of servings at a time. One for now, and one for later. That way you have some on hand and it is easy to use for a meal. My husband does not like rice, so this recipe is for one immediate meal and one for later. My measurements are not

Ok, pizza?? Fat and calories? How is that going to fit into my lifestyle? Easy. Don’t think of pizza having thick crusts and lots of cheese to be tasty. We are going to foray into the extra ordinary. First, you need imagination and a sense of adventure. Keep an open mind and you might find that beef, two pounds of cheese and all that crust doesn’t taste as good as it did! Ingredients for

I love tomatos. Fresh ones are great in salads or slices on a plate to add color. This recipe is usually made with canned tomatos, but if you have the time to cook down fresh tomatos, you can kick it up a notch. Recipe is for two servings. You will need the following: 2 boneless chicken breasts, cleaned and all skin removed. Flour Pepper Garlic powder (no salt) Basil (You can cheat by

Rice pudding has a yummy taste, but I don’ t normally eat white rice and I wanted to find something better. I think I have. This pudding has all the great taste of rice pudding, but it has an added yum that comes from the brown rice. Brown rice can be time consuming, but I make mine while I am in the kitchen making something else. NO muss, no fuss and two things done at once. It keeps in the
