  A Lupus Cause, Low Cortisol?  
Lupus and Vitamin B 1 Deficiency

Although one specific cause of lupus is not known, certain factors known to be involved. One possible lupus cause, low cortisol, has received a great amount of scrutiny. There also appears to be a correlation between lupus and a Vitamin B 1 deficiency. Genetic factors as well as environmental factors are suspect in the cause of lupus. There may not be a single cause of lupus, but instead, various things may interact with one another which result in the disease.

The genetic factors that may be a cause of lupus are a gene on chromosome 1 and genes on chromosome 6, which are associated with the disease. There is not one single gene that is known to be the cause of lupus. Several different genes may increase a person's risk for lupus. About ten percent of people with lupus have a close relative with the disease and about 5% of children born to people with lupus will get the disease. Studies have shown that two identical twins are more likely to both have lupus than two fraternal twins or siblings. This shows that genes do play a role in the cause of lupus since identical twins have the exact same genetic makeup.

The cause of lupus has to do not only with genetics but also with environment. Even with genetic predisposition, a person may never contract lupus. It takes other cofactors such as toxin accumulation, an unhealthy lifestyle, negative thoughts, poor diet, hormones and exposure to viruses, bacteria, sunlight, yeast and parasitic animals to cause lupus. The cause of lupus has nothing to do with the acquiring a virus or bacteria. Lupus is not contagious.

The cause of lupus has to do with a malfunctioning immune system. The body's immune system is there to fight invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances from overtaking the body. The body produces antibodies to these substances which attack and destroy these foreign invaders. The cause of lupus has to do with the immune system creating auto antibodies which attack healthy tissues in the body.

This attack on healthy tissues causes inflammation wherever the tissues are being targeted. It may cause damage to the skin, joints, muscles, as well as causing damage to organs and other tissues. Also, the cause of lupus has to do with these auto antibodies combining with certain substances in the body to form what is known as immune complexes. These immune complexes build up in the body and cause these areas that have been damaged to also become inflamed. The inflammation is what is causing most of the symptoms that lupus patient's experience.

Help Your Body Heal Itself

Although we cannot change the genes that we are born with, and the cause of lupus is still unknown, the good news is that we can be proactive and study how to have a more healthy lifestyle such as eating a balanced diet, avoiding too much sun, avoiding harmful habits such as cigarette smoking and drinking to excess, avoiding certain drugs, keeping a positive attitude, avoiding environmental toxins, and taking vitamin and mineral supplements that may prevent the onset of the disease. The cause of lupus is associated with stress so when we run ourselves ragged with too much work, too much stress, and not taking care of ourselves we increase the risk of getting the disease. Now that you are aware of what is known about the cause of lupus, you can take steps to decrease your chances of ever developing the disease. It would be wise to also help fund studies so that the cause of lupus can be determined once and for all.
