I've recently learned that my mother has Sjogren's Syndrome, a pretty horrific autoimmune disease. Does anyone know about any research about healing (or minimizing the effects of) such diseases? Some supplement she could take that might give her better chances (without bad side effects), maybe? I've read about N-Acetylglucosamine, for example. Of course I don't expect a miracle cure, but I figure, if there's a chance something could help without harming her, why not try it?

Any help would be very, very appreciated.
