Lupus is an autoimmune disease, and medical science does not yet understand the causes of autoimmune disorders.
However, there may be triggering factors that set Lupus off, such as:
- Infection
- Certain prescription medications
- Sunlight
- Hormones
Other possible causes of Lupus include some controversial items. Apart from stress, which is no longer controversial as a possible source of numerous problems, the connection between these things and Lupus -- industry spokespeople keep telling us -- has not yet been proven:
- Stress
- Certain foods
- Aspartame, the artificial sweetener
- Silicone breast implants
- Mercury dental fillings
- Hair dye
- Pesticides and other toxic chemicals
