herbal remedy/therapy for Scleroderma?



Does anyone know of any herbal remedies for Scleroderma? 

My husband has been ill with joint pain, Reynaud's syndrome, vasculitis,
and fatigue for several years. The doctor's had previously diagnosed him
with Lupus and prescribed steroids and chemo drugs. For five years things
have gotten better and worse, with the disease moving from system to
system.

He now has immotility of the esophagus and intestine, thickening of the
skin in his fingers, toes, and jaw...along with extreme hypothyroidism and
the other symptoms. His doctors have re-diagnosed him with scleroderma and
aren't giving us a lot of hope. 

I am very interested in hearing from anyone who has had experience with
this disease. Especially anyone who has achieved remission through the use
of natural remedies, herbs in particular.

We have been using Echinachea, Dandelion, Feverfew, and Burdock root. Any
other suggestions/changes greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much...
