Broadus was diagnosed with lupus — a chronic autoimmune disease that can damage the skin, joints, organs or other parts of the body —at the age of 6, she told People magazine in September.

She said she was feeling “better than I’ve ever been” after taking an all natural, holistic approach to her health.

“I’ve had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself,” she told the magazine. “I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I’m only 24 years old, taking 10 to 12 pills every single day. So I kind of just went cold turkey.”

If you suffer from a disease, don't discard modern medicine, and opt for "a natural approach". Life expectancy at birth in the 17th and 18th century England was about 36 years.

And Lupus is associated with stroke. Stroke is a major cause of morbidity, mortality and disability in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
