Butterfly NewsBytes - Lupus News, with Shar Phoenix. Butterfly NewsBytes (Formerly Butterfly News) newsletter offers research based information, minus the double-talk, from a lifelong lupie point of view. I've lived with SLE for over 50 years, researching lupus and its autoimmune sister syndromes for over 30 years. Butterfly NewsBytes research identifies disease stimulants in our environment, healthcare and daily lives. Our medications, diets, supplements, stresses and challenges, our relationships with friends, family and the quality of our medical care all influence our health, for good or ill. The more clearly we know what works for or against us, the better we can protect ourselves. Together, we're learning how to out-fox the wolf. “We are, each of us, angels with one wing and we can only fly by embracing one another." Luciano de Crescenzo
