  • What is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of related genetic conditions which are all caused by defective collagen synthesis. Normally, collagen provides strength and elasticity to our bodies, and it’s found in the skin, ligaments, tendons, and bones. In Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, defective collagen leads to stretchy skin, easy bruising, and joints that are super flexible.

    Well done, I’m diagnosed with hEDS and this is probably one of the best informational presentations I’ve seen. One slight clarification: genetic testing is done on all types, even hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos to not only clarify whether or not a known genetic mutation is present but also to rule out conditions that can look similar in some situations, such as Marfan’s Syndrome, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and even Lupus for example.

    My daughter had vEDS and made it to age 30. It's amazing what we know now than when she was diagnosed. There was no genetic testing and was all done by following her decompensation and comorbidities that came with it. Trying to get medical professionals to wrap their heads around it was more than difficult. I hope those who are diagnosed these days find a better educated medical community.

I doubt the other listed ingredients are essential since they are sufficient in most food or the body can produce them, or there is lack of evidence.

    Why then was EDS so prevalent in the era of the old mining industry, back in the day with no work health & safety measures of today, breathing in the tailings ( leftovers ) not put in water as today… simply dumped in a pile to blow around for all to breath, hence overheating the body as my father said, instant nosebleeds coming up to the surface,
    both my parents had EDS now so do I & my family,
    In particular at the copper mines..my father born there & his father worked, always mining…
    Hippocrates noted, the ppl called the Scythian nomad warriors were particularly bendy, he commented “ it must be good for
    something “
    What’s interesting, their skills with the production & use of copper…. Copper mining & usage in types of production …been around a long time …
    Now that we know EDS is genetic, if old mining procedures the cause & probably was ( once called stretchy cartilage ) If a miner had this problem then not able to work in mines by the early 1900’s
    sadly we can’t wind back the clock… wish tho was more early recognition in the medical field & better treatment programs
