First we saw the girl whose flesh turned into bone until she couldn't move and dies....now we have the opposite. DNA is amazing and terrifying when mutated
Shervy2k I never realized just how complex human anatomy & physiology is until I went to nursing school. During A&P I and II, microbiolgy, and pathophysiology it was hard to wrap my brain around all of the different processes happening both inside of us and outside on the skin every second of every day and just how much can happen in less than 1 second. And even though logically I knew this was the case, I found myself totally overwhelmed at what it takes for me to even just sit here and type this comment. There are SO MANY PROCESSES occurring ALL THE TIME to maintain homeostasis that we never even know about, like the multiple buffer systems in kidneys, bloodstream, & respiratory system that, through the manipulation of carbon and bicarbonate, constantly maintain our pH balance or the continual regulation of body temperature & hydration by the hypothalamus via osmoreceptors, hormones, and negative feedback loops or how we have indepently functioning cardiac cells that work with the different cardiac pacemaker backup systems put in place to ensure that if the SA node that sets the heart rate poops out, the next pacemaker will jump in & take over, albeit a tad slower but nonetheless fast & hard enough to get the job done. And if that one quits too, there's yet another pacemaker in the system that will take over, once again a bit slower but enough to buy some time. And all of them work together to ensure the heart will continue to beat & pump the continual systemic delivery of oxygenated blood to our organs & extremities while receiving the return delivery of deoxygenated blood that it will transport to the lungs for re-oxygenation. While learning about genes, chromosomes, DNA & RNA structure and function, I marveled at how it is so very efficient and precise while simultaneously having ZERO room for error because just one tiny little alteration in just one tiny little gene, whether the chromosome is missing a gene or an extra gene is present or if one single nucleotide is out of place in the massive sea of DNA chains contained within the nucleus of human cells, it results in absolute and total chaos. I find the science behind the human genome SO RIDICULOUSLY FASCINATING, which is what steered me in the direction of nursing school. But what's even more fascinating to me is how people who have been dealt the worst genetic cards are often the strongest, genuinely happy, and most well-adjusted individuals. It makes me take a hard look at how I can so easily slip into a place of ingratitude and "poor me-isms" over the most insignificant things. Instead, I should be more grateful for all of the really rad things in my life. When I take the narrow focus off of what little negative there is and redirect a broader lens onto the exponentially larger amount of positive things that life has bestowed upon me, it's impossible 100% of the time to stay stuck in the negative for it is impossible to occupy both spaces at once. The manner in which this girl & countless others who have seemingly debilitating chromosomal anomalies or degenerative diseases with no cures or treatments to speak of handle, process, and adjust to their situations is nothing short of awe inspiring. And I mean that in the most respectful way possible because it's often a huge struggle some days for people without these diseases to be okay in their own skin and remain positive and kind and happy, myself included. I can only hope to someday gain even a fraction of a shred of a molecule of the strength & grace with which they carry themselves through life I'd count it as my greatest blessing.
All white people are a mutation of black people and men a mutation of woman if you don’t believe please research and don’t get offended if this challenges everything you thought you knew mutation has been going on.
All I could think about was how pretty she is. Her smile is gorgeous and I love her hair!! She’s so kind and seems so gentle :( I wish the very best for her
My first thought was how freaking pretty she was that it made me mad Clear face, straight soft hair. Not fair dudes. I’m a teen too and I have so many blemishes my face legit just a peachy sky of red stars.
Damn this is terrible for this young lady. It amazes me how well people with similar painful life changing/threatening conditions cope as well as we see them. A brave lady
How well people cope? Well, they have no choice...all we see are the happy parts on the documentaries, we dont see the day to day life, the times where she isnt "strong"
I met Natalia on the first day of kindergarten, and she is definitely the strongest girl I know! I admire how positive and happy she is despite her pain. When I’m going through something that might be getting me down, I think of Natalia, because if she can be positive and focus on the good in life, so can I! I’m so thankful that I met her and have her as a friend.
I mean if you think about it, if you were friends with this beautiful girl, and she told you people made a documentary about her, wouldn't you watch it?
Yes it's so dumb seeing comments like "I'll never complain about my life again" like . No. You can do that. Just because someone has broken their hand, it doesn't mean you can't cry over your broken finger.
I had a surgery on my leg a few months ago and let me tell you all my doctors and specialist are hella young i dont know why lmao , I'm 27 and they look way younger them me 😅 the first time a meet one of my orthopedist he was a Chinese guy doctor 15 year old looking 😲
As a digital artist myself, I really love her art and admire her strength! I agree, I don’t want her to be in that much pain either, she’s an amazing person and deserves to live a great life :0
@Tobby ._. Yes they do need to face reality, but it's unnecessary to target someone and call them out on something that might hurt. And it's not facing reality by being insensitive, it's being mean to someone that's being mean to someone else. No one wins that way
This world is crazy !! I just saw a vedio where a beautiful girl is facing a disease where her body is developing second skeleton .....and then here this dear girl is suffering from loss of bones. ...so sad and contrasting May God give strength to everyone.
True, we think we have some big problem because maybe we think our nose is too big or we don't like our thighs...but honestly, while she seems to maintain a positive attitude which helps with any medical condition, I'll bet she's not happy all the time. Meanwhile, look at her art...it is beautiful!
makes me wonder if somehow with research the mutation that causes her bones to dissolve can be used to help the disease that causes bones to form “turning people to stone” and vice versa
Jayda Ashlyn it’s possible, but it depends entirely on the process that causes it. If they are really different mechanisms, we might not be able to use those mechanisms without causing more damage, or it might not affect those disease processes at all.
They could be entirely different mechanisms. Even the disease that causes bones to form is not the same case, sometimes it's the soft tissues that turn into bones, other times is the muscle. So I'm pretty sure whoever are researching the subject have already covered these most obvious possibilities.
I became so sad watching this, a lot of us are so blessed to have every part of our body working yet we unhappy and complain abt unnecessary stuff. Even in her situation nd through pain she's in , she smiles and try to make the best of it. Beautiful girl, beautiful soul.
Majority of children are born healthy. For a child to have a genetic disorder like this is rare so no everyone able bodied aren't lucky and complainers, these sick children are the unlucky ones. (Everyone one else is just average)
She's soooo so so so cute! And she's honestly just so beautiful! I like her fashion sense and her hair is flawless! She's just so adorable and so pretty! I wish her the best! ♥️
She looks way older than 14, she seems so mature aswell! Keep your head up girl, I know what it is to be in pain 24/7, (I have rare diseases myself that never can be cured but get worse every day) and I know it's hard and sometimes you're in so much pain you just want to end it. Distraction is indeed the key. You're an amazing girl!
Please keep us updated on her! If there is a way to help, I will! Bone Marrow transplant? Part of a kidney, anything I can do to help! She definitely deserves to have a long and amazing life!!!
Her Art, it's amazing! This coming from someone who's been in the worst art block for near half a decade now :( Thank you for the like btw! To whoever you may be! There have been two known cases of HIV/AIDS that have been completely cured by bone marrow and something else ( I forget, sorry!) The Berlin Patient and recently in London or Britain. If that's possible, then flat out, this horrible immune issue with her bones vanishing, theres a cure, but is anyone really searching yet?
@Baphomet the Sabbatic Goat For them, it gives purpose and something to look forward to in death. All known religions are unlikely to be true, but ignorance is bliss
Im a really tough guy .but this tough young lady had my tears drop..no kidding...all the best for you sweet natalia .may you have a wonderful life along side your love one..
Such a remarkable young lady her brother is such a loving brother and he is so proud of her which only makes her even more of a remarkable young lady. I love her attitude and how she faces life.
All these episodes I see these people who have loads of money and big houses and are able to provide their disabled children with extraordinary accommodations. Could you interview someone who isn’t as fortunate?
I mean. These children would usually get money to help them? Like benefits? I get what you mean though. It would be a good comparison then again a lot of people with these issues don't want their problems going public. Ik this comment is a year old I'm sorry 🙏
I’m so sorry you have this awful disease. You’re such a beautiful girl in all ways. I’m in awe, totally in awe. You’re more mature than anyone I know. Bless you sweet girl.
Does anyone else think she sounds like Mabel from Gravity Falls?? Sweet girl, I hope more research can go into this disease, and she keeps enjoying life 🙂😊
What an incredible young lady!! Her attitude and strength is so uplifting. I know what it’s like to live in constant pain as an adult, but can’t even begin to imagine how hard it would be to be a child or teen with chronic pain. She is going to go on and do amazing things if she keeps such a great out look on life! Thanks for sharing your story Natalia.
It got me from the start when she said: "I'm in pain every day. Every minute of every day." Most adults with less serious problems aren't as positive about life as she is.
Beautiful young lady inside and out. I had a parathyroid tumor that was sucking the calcium from my bones. Had it removed and now I’m fine. Wish it was a simple fix for this child. I hope God blesses her greatly
I live with chronic pain everday. Like you I am at the point that I can only manage my pain. You are so sweet and an encouragement to me. Thank you for being so open and strong with what your life is. I'm an artist and a crafter and like you misdirect my attention away from my pain. You are a beautiful young lady and I pray for more days with less pain than days with too much. Take care, sweet heart!!
Courage. Beautiful smiling face . Dear Natalia I am full of admiration for you. Precious girl you have more to give. Than most would be young stars in shows. Your Family are wonderful
This woman is the perfect example of the human spirit, she won't give up and she won't let this condition stop her living her life. She's truly extraordinary. ❤️
I’m very jealous of her brother 😅. I wish I had a brother like that. I have illnesses too but my brother doesn’t help me or give me any encouragement or anything :/. She’s a strong girl! You go Natalia!
So true! I keep thinking how cute and sweet she is. Her adorable personality stands out more than anything else. You just have to love her. I wish her all the very best... 🌸
Awww she said her head feels like a bowling ball ready to fall.. 🤭😔 that’s just sad.. I hope she’s on some strong pain pills. Drug users abuse these drugs and people like her need them on a daily basis.. I truly hope there’s an answer for all this so that she can get better soon
A lot of people with addiction to pain medications were prescribed them by doctors originally, they are very addictive and once the pain they were prescribed them for goes away the addiction still stays. It's not really there fault, but doctors over prescribing and not giving the right support and advice
this video is so inspirational. there are so many people who take what they have for granted, but always want more. but people like natalia just live in the moment and enjoy life’s presence. my heart goes out to such a wonderful girl. she is a light in this world💛
She is SO sweet, adorable, kind, strong, and talented! I love her so much. The condition she has sounds absolutely awful to have to deal with every second of every day. I'm so sorry she has to live constantly with that and hope someday treatment can be created. In the meantime, she handles herself with grace. She's truly an inspiration to all--and her family seems absolutely lovely as well :)
It's only in the modern world that anyone with a condition like this even survives. They would have been abandoned as children or locked away, back in the day.
Okay, I'm no biologist and no medical expert, but I'm a physicist, and when I first heard that her body adsorbs the calcium from her bones I immediately had two ideas of what could maybe work to stop her disease: 1. Hydrofluoric acid. It would have to be applied very carefully but it's a chemical capable of grabbing onto calcium stronger than anything else - fluoridizing her bones could maybe lock in the calcium so the body can't resorb it. 2. Diffusing other metals into her bones. I work with crystals on a Lithium basis and we diffuse rubidium into there for technical applications. One of the problems we have that many metals tend to diffuse into the crystals, too, so it's kind of hard to create diffusion masks because you need metals for that. Maybe you could diffuse some metal into her bones which are nothing more than glorified calcium carbonate crystals so that even when the calcium is resorbed a skeleton of metal stays behind?
Maybe you were meant to see this. It certainly sounds reasonable what you're saying. Also, as this is so rare, it's likely not funded well for research.
Daww she is just so precious too see her willingness too get out there and live , there are countless children with no diseases who don't have the fire and passion she does for life
Sadly, there wouldn't be much to do then. I'm guessing she's on Vitamins for her bones already, which actually does help a normal person depending on each individual, but I'd guess it may not help her much 😢
They could probably reinforce that with layers of mesh/titanium. I think the biggest concern would be her spine’s vertebrae getting absorbed. That’s paralysis, literally nothing to hold her up without ever leaving braces and bedrest, and then with just a spinal cord left that’d kill her.
Calmo Omlac I mean the femur is the strongest bone in the body and it’s clearly already affected those, I don’t see why it wouldn’t attack the skull. What a fuckin terrifying disease tbh. I’m guessing it could spread to her jaw and teeth as well? Damn.
Just want to say I too have a disease that affects my bones which causes great pain everyday sometimes it's hard to even stand or walk at times and thought how much it sucks but after watching this I realized I'm lucky and need to be as strong as her...i wish you the very best in life
That's a weird one. When you think of all the things that can go wrong with the human body, something that causes your bones to disappear is one I didn't think of. Surely there must be some way to 'augment' her bones with metals? How would you even do that? How would you attach tendons? Now I'm wondering if someone has an illness that causes other parts of the body to shrink.
Yoruichi The Extra Terrestrial It sounds logical at first, but since her bones are being reabsorbed into her body, there’d be nothing left to attach the metal augments to over time and they’d float loose and could cause a lot of damage. She’d be better off with an exoskeleton that would give her more functionality, but that would be too heavy and cause more fatigue and pain. I had never heard of her disease before; she definitely wasn’t a winner in the genetic lottery, but she sure got a great family and a good brain. Hopefully, someone will figure out a way to reduce the symptoms, but she’s had a pretty great life so far.
Yoruichi The Extra Terrestrial I don’t know, but wouldn’t whatever bone you added also be absorbed by her body eventually? Also, bone grafts like that tend to fuse solid, so she’d have no joint flexibility. It’s a pretty vicious disease, that’s for sure. I’m hopeful her doctors can find ways to ease her symptoms. It was sad at the end when she told the doctor her neck was starting to fail and her head felt too heavy to hold up.
I have known her, her whole life and still learned something new from this video. I am very proud of Natalia. Follow her on instagram @natalia.creates to see her latest art.
I wish her all the best, seeing these incredible people living with such difficulties really does open your eyes to how lucky we really are and how much we take for granted.
Moral of this disease, the one that turns you to "stone", and the one with super fragile bones: Bones are very important, you gotta have the correct amount with the correct stability/strength. Also, these people are heros for being able to adapt and accept these difficulties. Truly the best of humanity is displayed on the lowest and most disadvantaged for they are the ones who are the most selfless when logic dictates that they should be selfish.
O G From Wikipedia: “Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness. The cellular tissues that ultimately become teeth originate from the embryonic germ layer, the ectoderm.”
this girl is amazing- i hope the best for her! Also, maybe this is wrong but have scientists looked in to replace the bones that are fading away with prosthetic bones?
This girl smiles so much for whats shes dealing with. Amazing. I feel so sorry for this kid. I couldnt imagine having this kinda strength. I woulda taken my chair off a bridge into a river.
The fact that she still puts on her smile despite of this difficult condition is astounding, not short of remarkable even while enduring her constant pain. I wish I could have the same spirit of courage and joy like her.
He has a different illness he has osteogenesis imperfecta or brittle bones he has all his bones they just break constantly which cause malformations which causes shortened limbs. She is losing her bones.
This girl gives me courage to face my problems. She is an inspiration to so many. I am thankful that she has a positive outlook on life while so many others would become burdened. My heart goes out to her and I want to be more positive about my world. 😄
Eyes always show the beauty of our souls. You have Beutifull eyes that seem filled with love and compassion. This is what see thank you for sharing your rare life experience with the rest of the world.
my mind tries to solve every problem (despite being mostly unqualified) and i thought that in the future that people like her could very well be some of the first cyborgs which is cool as hell but that's probably not the most uplifting thing i'd assume
First we saw the girl whose flesh turned into bone until she couldn't move and dies....now we have the opposite. DNA is amazing and terrifying when mutated

Kristen Schaal, American actress is the actress just letting you know! I like helping out
I thought her voice sounded familiar! (I know she's not the actual voice actor)
Jimmy M I love that show
I was just about to watch gravity falls! 😂, and now I can hear that she sounds like Mabel :))
What an incredible young lady!! Her attitude and strength is so uplifting. I know what it’s like to live in constant pain as an adult, but can’t even begin to imagine how hard it would be to be a child or teen with chronic pain. She is going to go on and do amazing things if she keeps such a great out look on life! Thanks for sharing your story Natalia.
It got me from the start when she said: "I'm in pain every day. Every minute of every day."
Most adults with less serious problems aren't as positive about life as she is.
Beautiful young lady inside and out.
I had a parathyroid tumor that was sucking the calcium from my bones. Had it removed and now I’m fine. Wish it was a simple fix for this child. I hope God blesses her greatly
She’s so gorgeous!!!! I love her courage and bravery it really inspires me to do more even with my chronic illness
I live with chronic pain everday. Like you I am at the point that I can only manage my pain. You are so sweet and an encouragement to me. Thank you for being so open and strong with what your life is. I'm an artist and a crafter and like you misdirect my attention away from my pain. You are a beautiful young lady and I pray for more days with less pain than days with too much. Take care, sweet heart!!
Courage. Beautiful smiling face . Dear Natalia I am full of admiration for you. Precious girl you have more to give. Than most would be young stars in shows. Your Family are wonderful
The fact that she was smiling throughout most of this videos speaks volumes about her strength. I can only hope to be that strong one day
She is sooooo inspiring man I wish I was sooo positive like her
This woman is the perfect example of the human spirit, she won't give up and she won't let this condition stop her living her life. She's truly extraordinary. ❤️
SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ALITAAAAAA!!!! soooo pretty!
It's amazing how the human body works. She's such a strong young lady! I pray for her a long life full of happy memories and comforting love. ❤️
Brave girl with Good heart. I love your family too.
What a beautiful girl and a pure soul. Prayers for her and her family!
Her personality is so sweet will be praying for her and her family
She’s so beautiful I wish her all the success in her life....
I’m very jealous of her brother 😅. I wish I had a brother like that. I have illnesses too but my brother doesn’t help me or give me any encouragement or anything :/. She’s a strong girl! You go Natalia!
This girl is so sweet! I hope she gets some relief, living with chronic pain is terrible.
"there's more to you than this disease" I love that quote
So true! I keep thinking how cute and sweet she is. Her adorable personality stands out more than anything else. You just have to love her. I wish her all the very best... 🌸
Awww she said her head feels like a bowling ball ready to fall.. 🤭😔 that’s just sad.. I hope she’s on some strong pain pills. Drug users abuse these drugs and people like her need them on a daily basis.. I truly hope there’s an answer for all this so that she can get better soon
Drug addiction Is a disease like any other..
A lot of people with addiction to pain medications were prescribed them by doctors originally, they are very addictive and once the pain they were prescribed them for goes away the addiction still stays. It's not really there fault, but doctors over prescribing and not giving the right support and advice
medical marijuana can probably help her

Stop repeating this falsehood.
this video is so inspirational. there are so many people who take what they have for granted, but always want more. but people like natalia just live in the moment and enjoy life’s presence. my heart goes out to such a wonderful girl. she is a light in this world💛
She's adorable. I seriously hate that this is happening to her. Breaks my heart.
She is SO sweet, adorable, kind, strong, and talented! I love her so much. The condition she has sounds absolutely awful to have to deal with every second of every day. I'm so sorry she has to live constantly with that and hope someday treatment can be created. In the meantime, she handles herself with grace. She's truly an inspiration to all--and her family seems absolutely lovely as well :)
Bless her ♥️
she is more braver than she even knows. i wish the very best for her and her family. much support from west virginia
With all the genetic abnormalities it is a wonder how many of us are even born whole and fully functioning.
It's only in the modern world that anyone with a condition like this even survives. They would have been abandoned as children or locked away, back in the day.
Her personality and smile is what really brought me to tears ;( she's soo beautiful and deserves soo much better than this sighs
Okay, I'm no biologist and no medical expert, but I'm a physicist, and when I first heard that her body adsorbs the calcium from her bones I immediately had two ideas of what could maybe work to stop her disease:
1. Hydrofluoric acid. It would have to be applied very carefully but it's a chemical capable of grabbing onto calcium stronger than anything else - fluoridizing her bones could maybe lock in the calcium so the body can't resorb it.
2. Diffusing other metals into her bones. I work with crystals on a Lithium basis and we diffuse rubidium into there for technical applications. One of the problems we have that many metals tend to diffuse into the crystals, too, so it's kind of hard to create diffusion masks because you need metals for that. Maybe you could diffuse some metal into her bones which are nothing more than glorified calcium carbonate crystals so that even when the calcium is resorbed a skeleton of metal stays behind?
I'm not a physicist but major props to you for your help and brilliance. 👍👍
Maybe you were meant to see this. It certainly sounds reasonable what you're saying. Also, as this is so rare, it's likely not funded well for research.
My hat is off to this young lady. What strength.
A real wake up to how lucky I am 🙏🏻 her strength is amazing
Daww she is just so precious too see her willingness too get out there and live , there are countless children with no diseases who don't have the fire and passion she does for life
Man so what if her skull bones start to get absorbed? 😐
Sadly, there wouldn't be much to do then. I'm guessing she's on Vitamins for her bones already, which actually does help a normal person depending on each individual, but I'd guess it may not help her much 😢
They could probably reinforce that with layers of mesh/titanium.
I think the biggest concern would be her spine’s vertebrae getting absorbed. That’s paralysis, literally nothing to hold her up without ever leaving braces and bedrest, and then with just a spinal cord left that’d kill her.
Calmo Omlac I mean the femur is the strongest bone in the body and it’s clearly already affected those, I don’t see why it wouldn’t attack the skull. What a fuckin terrifying disease tbh. I’m guessing it could spread to her jaw and teeth as well? Damn.
Just want to say I too have a disease that affects my bones which causes great pain everyday sometimes it's hard to even stand or walk at times and thought how much it sucks but after watching this I realized I'm lucky and need to be as strong as her...i wish you the very best in life
I love her voice. She kinda sounds like Mabel from Gravity Falls 🙆♀️
I waited for 90 days already THIS IS THE COMMENT I WAS LOOKING FOR
When I see people like her making the best of her situation, it reminds me of what we all have to be grateful for.
Life can be so damn unfair sometimes💔😓
Natalia is living her life, best she can, despite her condition, remarkable 👏🏽
Christine in Nornia I take it you don’t understand Emojis. But you literally just called her clapped 🤦🏽♂️
J T Akinola Yes she did. That’s what 👏🏽 means.
So the clapping hands aren't applause?! 😱 Dear lord... What does "clapped" mean? I've been using that emoji....
She's gorgeous. I love her outlook on her condition and how she smiles. She's really inspirational
That's a weird one.
When you think of all the things that can go wrong with the human body, something that causes your bones to disappear is one I didn't think of.
Surely there must be some way to 'augment' her bones with metals? How would you even do that? How would you attach tendons?
Now I'm wondering if someone has an illness that causes other parts of the body to shrink.
Yoruichi The Extra Terrestrial It sounds logical at first, but since her bones are being reabsorbed into her body, there’d be nothing left to attach the metal augments to over time and they’d float loose and could cause a lot of damage. She’d be better off with an exoskeleton that would give her more functionality, but that would be too heavy and cause more fatigue and pain. I had never heard of her disease before; she definitely wasn’t a winner in the genetic lottery, but she sure got a great family and a good brain. Hopefully, someone will figure out a way to reduce the symptoms, but she’s had a pretty great life so far.
They'd have to provide a whole skeleton multiple surgeries long hours lots of blood loss risk of infection
@@pinkmonkeybird2644 What if you were to effectively encase what's currently left of her bones?
Could you theoretically replace some of the bones?
Yoruichi The Extra Terrestrial I don’t know, but wouldn’t whatever bone you added also be absorbed by her body eventually? Also, bone grafts like that tend to fuse solid, so she’d have no joint flexibility. It’s a pretty vicious disease, that’s for sure. I’m hopeful her doctors can find ways to ease her symptoms. It was sad at the end when she told the doctor her neck was starting to fail and her head felt too heavy to hold up.
Soo... let's say she donates her blood. Is it possible for the reciever to get this or is it totally just based on one's genes?
She’s so sweet and beautiful, it’s always the kindest people who suffer.
“There’s more to you than this disease”
YES I AM CRYING DONT TOUCH ME IM SOFT
I read that just as she said it lol
She is so sweet. I cannot imagine being in her shoes but she is one of the bravest girl. You go girl!!!! I love you
😔 I hope she doesn't die from the bones disappearing she so beautiful CHRIS needs to see this!!!!
Poor little sweetheart. Keep on smiling, you're a real inspiration
Natalia, you're amazing! And so strong, and inspiring. Lots of love
I wanna hug her forever what a beautiful strong human
I have known her, her whole life and still learned something new from this video. I am very proud of Natalia. Follow her on instagram @natalia.creates to see her latest art.
I wish her all the best, seeing these incredible people living with such difficulties really does open your eyes to how lucky we really are and how much we take for granted.
Amen girl keep living
She is a remarkable person. I admire her resilience and positive attitude. God bless
Perhaps with robotics people like her may someday have mobility driven by an external frame of some sort. Perhaps like an Exoskeleton.
We need to get this comment framed
She is so intelligent. I've never heard a more articulate 14 year old before.
Moral of this disease, the one that turns you to "stone", and the one with super fragile bones:
Bones are very important, you gotta have the correct amount with the correct stability/strength.
Also, these people are heros for being able to adapt and accept these difficulties. Truly the best of humanity is displayed on the lowest and most disadvantaged for they are the ones who are the most selfless when logic dictates that they should be selfish.
She's just so happy. Seeing how happy she is and strong it's just so hear warming.
What about her skull? It's sad to think about :(
Or her teeth
I thought of that, too.
Frisco 1937 teeth aren’t bone
Edlar89 wait a second...they have to be, they are apart of the skull? Have you seen a skeleton before?
O G
From Wikipedia: “Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness. The cellular tissues that ultimately become teeth originate from the embryonic germ layer, the ectoderm.”
She is adorable and so unique soul
this girl is amazing- i hope the best for her!
Also, maybe this is wrong but have scientists looked in to replace the bones that are fading away with prosthetic bones?
I love the way she’s always positive she’s such a great person
Her artwork is lovely. I can see a career there.
This girl smiles so much for whats shes dealing with. Amazing. I feel so sorry for this kid. I couldnt imagine having this kinda strength. I woulda taken my chair off a bridge into a river.
SbSk.... I’d love to see Natalia get interviewed.
yes!!!!!
Yesss
The fact that she still puts on her smile despite of this difficult condition is astounding, not short of remarkable even while enduring her constant pain. I wish I could have the same spirit of courage and joy like her.
She's a lovely young lady and I'm lucky to have her in my life ❤️❤️❤️
Sweet girl. Love seeing her enjoying herself with friends. A great distraction from her pain with normal teenager stuff. Truly inspirational
Amazing young lady🤩...Have you seen the Baxter Boys on TH-cam?? The lil dude on there has infusions that help bone growth and movement! Good luck x
He has a different illness he has osteogenesis imperfecta or brittle bones he has all his bones they just break constantly which cause malformations which causes shortened limbs. She is losing her bones.
I want to thank her so much. She helps me get through all the tough stuff in my life. Thank you.
Is there a website where I can help?
This girl gives me courage to face my problems. She is an inspiration to so many. I am thankful that she has a positive outlook on life while so many others would become burdened. My heart goes out to her and I want to be more positive about my world. 😄
May G-d bless her soul 🙏🏽
god bless her ????
why would god do this in the first place ??
oh let me guess ( god has a plan )
yeh great plan
gray park chill
Layla Rose well the truth hurts.
Eyes always show the beauty of our souls. You have Beutifull eyes that seem filled with love and compassion. This is what see thank you for sharing your rare life experience with the rest of the world.
my mind tries to solve every problem (despite being mostly unqualified) and i thought that in the future that people like her could very well be some of the first cyborgs which is cool as hell but that's probably not the most uplifting thing i'd assume
