Our symptoms vary from person to person and often, none of this makes any sense.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine for a minute restoring balance to your immune system. Wouldn\u2019t that mean the end of lupus? Wouldn\u2019t that mean that we would once again be balanced, or at least no longer out of whack? Wouldn\u2019t that mean that we now have a chance to put this disease in its place? Wouldn\u2019t this mean the pendulum has finally swung in our direction without the intention of destroying.<\/p>\n<p>That possibility could be near.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently announced that Chinese investigators are going to test\u00a0a new drug agent for treating lupus in upcoming\u00a0clinical trials. In 2011, the United States approved an antibody-based drug to fight the disease (Benlysta), however, according to the CAS, access to the drug is very restricted due\u00a0to its high price. The compound called <strong>SM934<\/strong>, is a water-soluble artemisinin derivative that\u00a0has already been approved by the China Food and Drug Administration. According to the CAS,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/21484768\">SM934 <\/a>has been found to \u201crestore the body\u2019s immune balance\u201d and to modulate autoimmune responses.<\/p>\n<p>If the results of these clinical trials are successful, we could see a new potentially game changing drug on the market to treat lupus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We, as lupus patients, are out of whack!
