"Join us for an in-depth exploration of the links between Generalised Joint Hypermobility (GJH), hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (hEDS) and the closely related Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), with post-COVID health complications, henceforth described as hypermobility. We will explore the concept of “Bendy-Brain”, linking Hypermobility with multi-organ involvement (gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular, autonomic nervous system, neurodivergence, and brain) in susceptible patients. Please scroll down to view the full agenda.
We will learn about the genetics, immunology, and cytokine cascades, MCAS, and resulting dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, GI tract, and multiple organs. The impact and importance of co-occurring neurodivergent conditions is also discussed and the wider implications for health and education.
We learn how to treat the histamine overload and dysautonomia and the resulting escalation of chronic fatigue and pain/fibromyalgia with new treatments. We also look at spike protein retention and how…
