Welcome to the Lupus In Color Web site
GENERATING LUPUS AWARENESS FOR A DISEASE THAT OFTEN GOES UNRECOGNIZED IN THE PUBLIC EYE.
SPREAD THE WORD YOUR WAY, JUST SPREAD THE WORD TODAY!
The Lupus Research Institute reports "Lupus is one of America's
least recognized major diseases. Almost 2 million Americans one out of every
185 have lupus. In fact, more Americans have lupus than cerebral palsy,
multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, or AIDS, making
it one of this country's most prevalent medical problems."
However, while lupus is widespread, awareness and accurate knowledge about it lag behind many other illnesses. Lupus is on the rise, and scientists don't know exactly why.
Lupus In Color has been created to cater to the needs of women of all colors of the rainbow suffering or directly affected with Lupus.
