I had never heard of it and am not too impressed with the web site which makes the following statement

There exists a common notion that the immune system in a person with an autoimmune disorder is too strong and, in its exuberance, targets a body tissue for attack. Rather, the evidence is more consistent with autoimmunity resulting from immunodeficiency.1 Kukreja et al have demonstrated that multiple immunoregulatory T cell defects lie behind Type 1 diabetes both in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice.2




I haven't read anything to this effect from the top lupologists.

These days lupus isn't usually described as an over active immune system but as malfunctioning and they are beginning to identify the different sorts of malfunction that lead to the different forms of disease expression in individuals.

I tend to be very sceptical of remedies that are for all autoimmune diseases as well as immuno deficient ones like AIDs. I could see no mention of proper research being done in lupus.
Who knows !
