I'm wondering if the carnivore diet can help with this particular autoimmune issue. There are already many people managing and even reversing various autoimmune issues using the carnivore approach, I wonder if there are any who have used it for scleroderma.

My thoughts and I'm experimenting with carnivore currently.

Very informative video about skin disorders ... its not necessary that one have to take medicines for life long, you can prefer Ayurveda treatment for this disorder. I will recommend planet Ayurveda’s skin care pack which has prove to be really beneficial in treating this. I have this same problem and I ma using it and genuinely getting better results.

Scleroderma is not a skin disorder it’s an autoimmune disease that sometimes only affects the skin but often affects the internal organs. Don’t diminish the dangers of this disease by suggesting it can be treated without medications.
