Here's some quotes from the link -

"Lupus (also known as systemic lupus and lupus erythematosus) involves the whole body, including the immune system. In sensitive people food proteins (usually animal proteins) enter the bloodstream through a "leaky gut." The body makes antibodies to these foods proteins. Unfortunately, the antibodies do two things that cause problems:

1. antibody-antigen complexes are formed that persist and become stuck in the skin, joints, and/or kidneys, and cause an inflammatory reaction (like slivers of wood stuck under the skin);
2. antibodies are made to these foreign food proteins that also attack the person's own tissues (skin, joints, kidneys and other tissues)."

"Traditional medical treatments fail to arrest this disease. A healthy, pure-vegetarian, low-fat, diet will dramatically benefit and often cure people of this disease – as in Vanessa's case." 

"Even though these results do not occur with everyone, they are typical for people who make the diet and lifestyle changes of the McDougall Program."

"The following month when her lab results came back they were better than they had ever been. She is now off all medication. She has been for about 4 months. She will never eat anything other than low-fat vegan the rest of her life."

" I thank God for leading me to find the McDougall plan. It has saved my daughters life." (Emphasis Added)
