Lupus
Lupus can come on suddenly, or the symptoms can be vague, gradual and disconnected. In addition, the disease tends to be sporadic, with most people experiencing “flare-ups,” as well as periods without symptoms or any other signs of the condition. At Angel Longevity Medical Center, we offer alternative treatments for lupus.
The symptoms
Diagnosing lupus can be difficult because the symptoms of the condition are similar to other autoimmune diseases. A common indicator of lupus is a rash across the nose and on both cheeks that resembles a butterfly, though this is not seen in all patients.
Other symptoms of lupus may include:
- Fatigue
- Skin rashes
- Fever
- Arthritis
- Kidney problems
- Seizures and psychosis
- Chest pain
- Skin lesions from sun exposure
- Mouth sores
- Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
- Sun intolerance
- Dry eyes
- Headaches
Our difference
There is no cure for lupus but we offer our lupus treatment. Conventional treatments are intended to decrease the occurrence of flare-ups with autoimmune suppressing drugs. This is where Angel Longevity Medical Center is different.
Dr. Mathur’s approach as an integrative functional doctor is one of a medical detective. She gathers all the clues of the patient’s past through extensive personal and family histories. She also examines their present lifestyle – including potential toxins in their environment, social life, stress levels, relationships, diet, workout regimen, sleep habits, and symptoms. Armed with this information, and all appropriate lab tests, Dr. Mathur strives to uncover how and why the patient’s body is not functioning well.
How we treat lupus Our Back to Wellness Program
Dr. Anju Mathur, a specialist in alternative treatments for lupus, harnesses the power of her “Back to Wellness Program” to help patients overcome their condition and regain their health.
As part of this program, Dr. Mathur will assess the functions of many different bodily systems, such as the immune, cardiovascular, hormonal, and nervous systems – as they may all be involved in the autoimmune disorder of lupus.
Upon analyzing these different areas of the body and running the appropriate tests, she will then determine which alternative treatments for lupus can achieve the individual’s specific needs.
Dr. Mathur’s specialty is selecting therapies that can augment the patient’s health and help them overcome the symptoms and consequences of lupus. With her “Back to Wellness Program,” many patients suffering from this disease have been able to improve their symptoms, prevent further complications, and restore their quality of life.

Dr. Mathur’s “Back to Wellness Program” makes sure that no two lupus treatments are alike. She focuses on selecting therapies that can help the different facets of the disease.
The entire process is highly personalized, because the illness can differ in severity, location, and frequency of flare-ups.

- IV nutrient therapy to ensure that the body gets the nutrition it needs to support a healthy immune system and overcome the symptoms of lupus.
- Phospholipid exchange therapy to detoxify the body at a cellular level and cleanse the cells of systemic toxins to improve overall organ function.
