I was diagnosed with lupus in 1992, and have tried a number of things to fix what I broke. I am on the 5th day of raw foods, and today my hands started itching, and I now have small painful boils. Is this a form of detox? I am currently on 5mg Prednisone, Plaque nil, Celcept, and Lisinopril. I have been on Prednisone since Jan 2007 after I almost died from a bad lupus flare. Can you give me some suggestions?

Goodness, Raw foods and drugs is not a good mixture. You are having a reaction. See, the raw foods are good as they alkalize the body and the medication you're taking is acidic and very bad for you. Drugs don't heal. God made the herbs for medicine (Ezekiel 47:12), and for the healing if the nations (revelation 22:2), not drugs!
