Can kalawalla be used to treat lupus?

Kallawalla for Multiple Sclerosis Polypodium Leucotomos Kalawalla, Rapuani (Polypodium Leucotomos) The plant polypodium leucotomos is a fern native to Honduras. Kalawalla and Rapuani are brand names for food supplements derived from the plant. While neither Kalawalla nor Rapuani are intended specifically as MS treatments they do have reported benefits. Kalawalla is sold as a supplement beneficial for sufferers of Vitiligo, a depigmentation condition where there is a genetic effect that makes melanocytes susceptible to injury. Others believe an immune system imbalance may cause the immune system to identify pigments as a foreign substance and therefore destroy it. The polypodium leucotomos extract is understood to regulate the immune system and restore it to a healthy, strong, balanced position. A number of MS sufferers have reported improvements after taking this supplement. Kalawalla and Rapuani are food supplements, they are not intended or recommended as treatments for any condition including multiple sclerosis This is copied from a webite touting this herbal remedy for multiple sclerosis. Unfortunately, there was no accompanying scientific data to support this claim. Anecdotal claims can be misleading and are not as reliable as prosepctive randomized controlled trials comparing the active ingredient to placebo in a double blind fashion, which is to say both the patient and investigator are unaware who is receiving the herb and which receiving placebo (an inert product without any medicinal benefit). I am unaware of any such studies demonstrating efficacy or safety of this herb in persons with lupus.

Can kalawalla be used to treat lupus ?

I would like share my experience of using kalawalla. i have lupus more then 10 years. One day i found out about kalawalla on www.organichope.com. It was written there are any side effects and if i don't feel satisfied they will refund my money. So i decided to give a try. now i know i was very naive believing in that. First of all in a week of using kalawalla i started to notice red spots on my forehead close to a hair line. At first i didn't want to belive that it is because of kalawalla so i kept using it. But in a few more weeks my forehead got relly bad so i decided i should stop using kalawalla because kalawalla was the only new thing i started to use. and i was right i started to get better. So after everything what happened i felt i have the right to ask for refund. Unfortunately when i was trying to contack www.organichope.com i haven't got any reply from them. So as i understood they replay just if you want to order their stuff but if you want to get your money back they will ignore you. It was the first time i believed in such kind of company who just cheat and treasure using other people's distress.... and hopefully the last time...

I"m from Honduras, and my son has been dignoses with Lupus. Can I give him the tea of kalawalla. It grows on my backyard tree.

Actually I DID find scientific data and clinical trials on the companys main web site. I believe it is worth a try

I just found out that since it can modulate the immune system and has been found helpful in other autoimmune diseases like MS it has been also found beneficial for skin inflammation in lupus as well. There are around 3 more common brands, the one that seems more popular is Organic Hope who also have testimonials of use of kalawalla in lupus.
