report which "indicates" that iron "may" play a role in one of the
porphyrias.<<

Off topic means .. not .. on topic ..

You are kind of .. stupid .. aren't .. ya ..

Photosensitivity and pustular eruptions are NOT .. 'common' TO ..
lupus ..

Eat me ..

Porphyrin ACCUMULATION / excretion is COMMON to both .. lupus and
porphyria .. in **fact** the porphyrias are .. linked .. TO ..
lupus ..

Sooo .. you say they are NOT .. "caused by" ,, iron .. and I say
they .. are ..

And the very fact .. iron reduction and / or antioxidants are BEING
tested .. IE: iron binding substances in sun protection creams
TARGETING lupus sufferers /ATTESTS to the FACT there is PLENTY of iron
in those with lupus and the FACT there is rust / oxidative stress
FOUND in those with lupus .. means .. ?

Find the cause of the oxidative stress and you may have found your
culprit ..

The culprit being someone who produces / causes to produce increased
oxidative stress and YOU say it .. "isn't the iron found everywhere in
those with lupus" .. and I say .. " it is the iron " ..

<<

Spam .. intensive posting of commercial interest .. commonly .. off
topic ..

Sooo .. like I said .. before .. you don't / cannot .. u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-
n-d .. medical studies and you don't .. k-n-o-w .. what spam .. is ..

So .. again what are you doing ON this .. particular .. thread ..

Exhibiting your .. stupidity ..

Heh .. heh ..

"Association between smoking / polycythemia and transfusions /
polycythemia"  ..

You see .. smoking **increases** red blood cell production
therefore .. polycythemia .. transfusions **increase** red blood cells
therefore .. polycythemia .. and the research shows .. **evidence** ..
that .. **increased** red blood cell production is LINKED .. to ..
lupus ..

But YOU .. 'say' .. **it** .. isn't ..

'Cite" something ..

Lupus Research Update
Risk factors for developing systemic lupus erythematosus: a case-
control study in southern Sweden.
Rheumatology (Oxford). 2002 May;41(5):563-71.
Department of Rheumatology, University Hospital of Lund, Sweden.
To explore the risk factors that have been suggested to be associated
with the development of systemic lupus erythematosus. A case-control
study was performed and a questionnaire was developed to obtain the
data. Consecutive female incident cases diagnosed between 1981 and
1999 in a defined geographical area in southern Sweden were included.
Controls, matched for calendar year of birth, were selected randomly
from the same area. In total, 85 cases and 205 controls agreed to
participate. The questionnaire included questions about formal
education, body weight and height, medical history, family history of
autoimmune diseases, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, animals, hair-
colouring dyes, alfalfa (lucerne) sprouts, smoking and alcohol habits,
history of physical traumata, blood transfusion, silicone breast
implants, exogenous oestrogens, other medication, and significant
negative life events. RESULTS: Using a multivariate model, a history
of hypertension, drug allergy, a type I/II sun-reactive skin type and
a family history of SLE were all significantly associated with an
increased risk of developing SLE, whereas consumption of alcohol was
inversely associated with the risk of SLE. A suggested association
with increased systemic lupus erythematosus risk was seen for smoking
and blood transfusions. Neither exposure to exogenous oestrogen nor
exposure to hair-colouring dyes was associated with SLE. CONCLUSIONS:
Risk factors of both exogenous and endogenous origin were identified
in this population-based series of systemic lupus erythematosus
patients.
