Singer Toni Braxton is one of the most recent celebrities to announce she has Lupus, a potentially deadly autoimmune disease. This summer rapper Snoop Dog and his wife discussed their young daughter’s Lupus challenges. Singer Lady Gaga talked about how she tested borderline positive for Lupus.
Toni Braxton, the beautiful, Grammy award winning singer announced her condition at a recent luncheon benefiting Lupus Awareness.
“Take a look, this is what lupus looks like,” Braxton said to a surprised audience as she accepted one of two Women in Achievement awards at the 8th Annual bag Ladies Luncheon.
Toni speaks up about her health challenges as spokesperson for American Heart Association. She also suffers from pericarditis; an inflammation of the heart lining that has left her prone to high blood pressure and heart palpitations and has interfered with her performance schedule over the years. She has done awareness ads for Autism also, with her young son having Autism.
It is so important to have women like Toni Braxton step up and help people become aware of this disease, to help people gain knowledge and consider preventative health care measures, along with ways to build and strengthen the system if dealing with Lupus.
In Chicago, many may know of someone personally with Lupus. It is prominent among the African American community. This disease inspired me to study natural health and herbal remedies after someone very near and dear to me was diagnosed with Lupus. We first thought my aunt Helen just had a bad skin rash, but after many tests the doctors discovered she had Lupus. With this disease she faced many challenges including kidney failure and eventually she died from complications. During the time my aunt was battling all the health issues from Lupus I also had a friend and mentor who taught a certified herbalist course in Chicago; Medina J. Nance. She shared her story on how she was diagnosed with Lupus. She chose to deal with the condition with natural herbs and an herbal colon cleanse. After doing her herbal program for a while and making sure she was eating a wholesome diet, drinking plenty of water and taking her supplements she returned to the doctor and they told her they saw no signs of the Lupus. She continues to be Lupus free today. She praises God for her health and the knowledge she gained in natural alternatives for Lupus which helped her avoid medications and all their side effects. She presently has a local TV show in Chicago on health that airs every Wednesday on Channel 21 at 10:00 p.m. I am thankful for Medina Nance sharing her personal story on how she reversed Lupus with natural herbs. Even though I was unable to help my aunt, Medina inspired me to work to get the word out on the power of herbs.
Today I write articles, blog and hold seminars and webinars whenever I can to educate everyone on the natural alternatives and herbs for preventative health to rid diseases and disorders.
If you are a big celebrity like Toni Braxton or Lady Gaga or an average man or woman seeking ways to live a healthy lifestyle I recommend herbs.

Thank you for working to bring more awareness to this disease. I had a sister and a first cousin succumb to this disease, and my younger sister has taken control of her health because she began to show symptoms.
I hope more celebs do what they can as well to raise awareness.
