EDS and Hypermobility Syndrome are diseases of connective tissue. They impact the quality of life, relationships and earning ability, among many others as well as carrying with them severe, and often intractable, pain. Given that connective tissue is distributed throughout the body, poor quality connective tissue has the ability to affect, tendon, ligaments, bones, skin and gut. Good quality connective tissue requires the necessary collagen forming building blocks to be in place before it can be synthesised. Most of this - if the necessary materials are present - will take place in the body but sometimes defective genes and defective diets (which could ameliorate the effects of rogue genes) prevent this from happening.The author argues that the massive changes in our diets which have occurred since the post war years have produced an increase in certain diseases which are the result of poor nutritional status. Our current eating choices have largely done away with three of the four essential building blocks necessary to build strong connective tissue. The author explains how to eat to introduce these substances back into the diet which will not only help you to build healthy tissue, but will also aid sleep as well as reduce inflammation and build lean muscle mass.This is a sequel to The Journey: living with EDS and chronic pain

Generalized hypermobility has been known since ancient times, and a clinical description of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is said to have first been recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Hypermobility syndromes occur frequently, but the wide spectrum of possible symptoms, coupled with a relative lack of awareness and recognition, are the reason that they are frequently not recognized, or remain undiagnosed. This book is an international, multidisciplinary guide to hypermobility syndromes, and EDS in particular. It aims to create better awareness of hypermobility syndromes among health professionals, including medical specialists, and to be a guide to the management of such syndromes for patients and practitioners. It is intended for use in daily clinical practice rather than as a reference book for research or the latest developments, and has been written to be understandable for any healthcare worker or educated patient without compromise to the scientific content. The book is organized as follows: chapters on classifications and genetics are followed by chapters on individual types, organ (system) manifestations and complications, and finally ethics and therapeutic strategies, with an appendix on surgery and the precautions which should attend it. A special effort has been made to take account of the perspective of the patient; two of the editors have EDS. The book will be of interest to patients with hypermobility syndromes and their families, as well as to all those healthcare practitioners who may encounter such syndromes in the course of their work.

People with Hypermobility Syndrome (HMS), including Ehlers-Danlos type Hypermobility Syndrome, have a larger range of joint movement than is typical, which can cause pain and fatigue despite an outward appearance of good health. This book is the complete guide to living with and managing HMS, and ultimately enjoying a fulfilling life. The book covers everything from recognising symptoms and obtaining initial diagnosis to living with the condition on a daily basis and managing its negative effects. The author, who has HMS herself, looks at how the condition affects children and adolescents, before moving on to explore pain management (including the use of physiotherapy, pilates and a selected range of complementary health therapies), pregnancy, physical and psychological aspects of the condition, and how it widely affects dancers and other performance artists. Wider conditions that encompass Hypermobility Syndrome are also touched upon, including Fibromyalgia and IBS. This book will be a must for anybody who suffers, or suspects they might be suffering from, Hypermobility Syndrome. It will also be of interest to their families and friends, and professionals working with the condition.

Are you overly flexible or double-jointed? Perhaps you are the clumsy and tired person in your group of friends, often nursing an injury of some sort. If you are nodding in agreement with raised eyebrows and a knowing smirk on your face, then there is a chance you are hypermobile. Hypermobility affects a whopping 10 to 25 percent of the population (meaning it’s more common than being left-handed, standing over six feet tall, or having a third nipple), and it can cause symptoms ranging from minor discomfort to debilitating pain. Hypermobile people’s bendiness and tendency toward anxiety often lead them to yoga, where they find that they are at last praised for their physical ability and given tools to manage their hypersensitivity. However, the way yoga is taught frequently leaves this population susceptible to severe injuries, and they end up being told by medical professionals to avoid yoga. In this epic new book, fitness experts Adell Bridges and Celest Pereira redefine how to manage hypermobility, providing a practical roadmap that will enable you to harness your bendiness and feel fantastic. They reinforce the importance of stability, correct posture, and a healthy lifestyle, showing how, if managed properly, hypermobility is not debilitating but a superpower that you can use to live an extraordinary life. Too Flexible to Feel Good teaches you how to adapt your everyday habits such as your biomechanics and your diet to support and nourish your flexible body. This book also features: • Practical tips on how to hold your body for optimal results during training • Tools to help build awareness of your joint position in everyday life • Strategies for busting anxiety • Exercises that can improve your biomechanics • Diet and sleep considerations Too Flexible to Feel Good is also an invaluable resource for yoga teachers, fitness instructors, and medical professionals, helping them develop a deeper understanding of how best to help this population.

Our current eating habits have largely excluded an important nutrient that is essential for the synthesis of good connective tissue. Without it, we cannot form proper bone, skin, tendons, ligaments and cartilage; in fact, most of what gives us structure and allows us to move without pain and dislocation.This remarkable amino acid also helps to improve the immune system, restores sleep, reduces seizure activity and anxiety as well as helping to alleviate depressive episodes. Once incorporated into diets on a daily basis, this forgotten nutrient is more or less eliminated from our diets and to our detriment.It does not take long to learn how to incorporate this nutrient into our diets so that we have the correct building blocks available to build up healthy connective tissue.This book is a collection of easy recipes showing you how to adapt favourite recipes so that they provide the best nutrients required to form healthy connective tissue.

Mast cell activation syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and Ehlers Danlos syndrome are three syndromes which often appear together. On the surface they appear to be very different. After all, what can multiple allergies have to do with a fast heartbeat and a tendency to faint and how does it fit in with a debilitating connective tissue disorder? If there is a connection is there just one specific association or are there a number of different causes which come together to cement this eternal triangle? The impact of these syndromes on lives is profound not only in terms of lost working hours but of pain and restrictions which would test the patience and strength of most people. But are these syndromes a lifelong companion? Can diet influence genetic inheritance so that the propensity towards certain conditions is turned off. Maybe though, the answer is simpler than that. Could a deficiency of nutritional substances account for all of these syndromes by changing an outcome which has a knock on effect on the way the body responds downstream. All these questions are answered and more and accompanied by photos showing the impact of some of the symptoms of MCAS.The author, a medical nutritionist, takes us on a fascinating journey as she shows how simple deficiencies can account for all the syndromes occurring together and more importantly how easily they can be addressed. This is a book that can be read alone or complements other books in this series especially EDS and the Hypermobility Syndrome Diet which investigates the causes of hypermobility EDS and how diet may impact its manifestation. .
