Complementary Medicine Meets Rheumatology: New Ways to Reduce Inflammation - The Rheumatologist At this ACR Convergence 2025 session, the speaker highlighted ways complementary and alternative medicine can be used alongside traditional medical treatments.

So my not getting better elbow tendonitis might be a nerve tension thing from my terrible neck. Physio worked on neural release & stretching which initially felt great but am now so sore & achy down my arm😭

KEY POINTS (2/3)
~ Many of these anatomic problems can present with fatigue & orthostatic intolerance as prominent problems, overlapping with ME

~Connective tissue laxity is a risk factor for both ME & for many neuroanatomic abnormalities

What Is a Connective Tissue Disease? Connective tissue diseases affect the tissues that hold things together in your body. There are over 200 types. Learn more here.

Did you know there are over 200 types of Connective Tissue Disorder/Disease? 😮
They break down into three categories: Autoimmune, Genetic, and Cancer. 🩵🦓🩵

U01.01.037 Elastin Analyze the clinical presentation by linking progressive dyspnea with liver disease history and PAS-positive diastase-resistant globules in hepatocytes. These findings indicate a genetic enzyme deficiency that affects both lungs and liver. Identify which enzyme’s unchecked activity leads to lung damage in this condition. Choose the correct answer based on pathophysiology.

Understand the role of elastin in maintaining tissue flexibility and how its defects lead to connective tissue disorders.

U01.01.035 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Carefully analyze the genetic and clinical clues given in the question. Look for key findings such as joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and easy bruising. Next, connect these clinical features to the underlying collagen gene mutation (COL5A1). Use your understanding of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome subtypes to identify which one matches this genetic defect.

Understand the types and clinical signs of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome for effective diagnosis.

U01.01.034 Osteogenesis imperfecta  Carefully read the clinical scenario and focus on hallmark features — multiple fractures with minimal trauma, blue sclerae, and opalescent teeth. Use these key signs to connect the phenotype with the underlying genetic defect. After analyzing, select the most likely gene mutation from the options provided.

Understand the collagen defect behind brittle bones in osteogenesis imperfecta.

Text reading: When it comes to genetic illnesses there are no rules of who will be affected, how they’ll be affected or even when. And a photo of Dean smiling seated outside and is wearing a striped polo shirt.

Text reading: The first element to treating a genetic illness is managing pain. Pain can be a debilitating condition that if not controlled destroys lives. Pain is often ignored by health professionals mainly due to it’s subjective nature. And a photo of Dean smiling by a small body of water.

Text reading: If you can intervene before a condition degenerates, you can in theory prevent permanent disability or at the very less mitigate the fallout by breaking the cycle. Without putting in place a holistic approach that addresses both these aspects, it’s not uncommon for a person’s condition to spiral out of control. In my opinion, Australia’s medical system often fails to address either element in a satisfying manner.

Black text on an orange background: While genetic conditions can be extremely complicated to treat, a lot of the failure I see with the medical community is not due to inexperience but an unwillingness to look after complicated patients. Problems exist partially due to an overburdened and hollowed out system that leaves a lot of people like myself in a terrible position.

The lack of understanding/ awareness of connective tissue disorders in the medical community.

The hEDS Immune Connection: What New Research Means for Your Health A breakthrough study shows that immune signaling, not just genetics, plays a major role in hEDS. Here’s how mast cells, inflammation, and your environment interact—and why it matters more than ever.

Don’t buy industrial nuggets. Make them yourself; it doesn’t take any longer than defrosting them, and it’s very simple. They are made with chickens fed type 2 corn. The meat is minced and mixed with flour made from the same corn and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is also derived from corn. The breading is made with corn starch. This corn is subsidized and paid for by taxpayers, making it almost free for manufacturers. There is very little meat. They are made with connective tissue (which connects the muscles to the bone) dissolved in acid (often citric acid). The meat is sometimes mixed with ground bones. It is animal protein, but it is not meat. The protein structure is destroyed by the acid treatment and becomes indigestible, meaning that the body cannot use the protein as it is; the body converts it into triglycerides (which are transported by “bad” cholesterol and promote strokes). Only fructose is digested. Choose boneless chicken or pork strips: chicken breast, chicken thigh steak, pork shoulder, etc. Choose meat with a red label, organic label, or local label. To keep the meat tender, you can marinate it (optional) and bread it to prevent it from drying out. 1. Cut about 200g of pork or chicken into pieces of the desired size for nuggets. 2. Optional to tenderize the meat: Add a teaspoon of soy sauce and a teaspoon of spices (your choice: ras el hanout, curry, ginger, etc.). Add a teaspoon of vinegar. Mix well. 3. Add three tablespoons of flour (any type: wheat, spelt, rye, etc.). Spread evenly over the meat. 4. Beat a whole egg. Add it and mix well. 5. Add 4 tablespoons of breadcrumbs. Spread evenly over the meat. 6. Heat some seed oil (any type: sunflower, canola, etc.). Place the pieces of meat one by one in the hot oil. 7. Remove the pieces of meat when they are golden brown. For a quicker recipe: 1. Cut approximately 200g of pork or chicken into pieces of the desired size for nuggets. 2. Beat an egg in a bowl, then add the pieces o…
