Ehlers Danloss Syndrome

[Scandinavian]

Hi there James
My girlfriend has the disease called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which is a group of disorders that affect connective tissues, the skin, bones, blood vessels, and other organs. She is the hypermobility type, and her joints are very unstable and loose with prone to dislocation.
So basically she´s like in pain year round
She also suffers from these symptoms
Often feeling cold, Always cold hands and feets, get blue bruises on the body very easily, get constipated, moodswings, inability to lose weight, Always gaining weight, very often complain about pain in her hips and and down her legs, and at her lower back. Memory problems or having trouble thinking clearly.
I admit, that’s a lot. But she is a strong 40 year old girl who does not complain a lot.
But I really would like to help her regarding that pain she has, I have tried almost any natural remedy on the market (I hate pharmaceuticals ) but with no luck. I can see the others symptoms she has, seems to me like low thyroid or something?? We have tried doctors but they have given up on her years ago.
Hope you can point me In some kind of direction of a solution.

I remeber James wrote about connective tissues and it has to do with lack of vitamin C and silica, which can be obtained from food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE).

Getting bruises very easily is pretty much weak blood vessels. Again silica and vitamin C.

Feeling cold can be hypothyroidism.

Constipation can have different causes but you can find a lot of information about it this forum or on the old curezone forum:

Diatomaceus earth seems to be the best for silica because it bypasses problems with low stomach acid that many people have:
