The “trifecta” refers to three conditions that commonly occur together: mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). These three conditions are gradually becoming more recognized in the mainstream medical world as more and more patients find themselves struggling with debilitating and often mysterious symptoms. However, recognizing these conditions is only the first step on the healing journey. With the right approach and toolbox, patients can reverse many of these symptoms to find lasting vitality. Written by a Doctor of Physical Therapy who has additional certifications in functional medicine and nutrition and extensive experience in working with these conditions, this book serves as patient guide that empowers individuals to put all of the puzzle pieces together as part of an individualized healing plan. Part One (3 chapters) is an overview of the three trifecta conditions, and Part Two (9 chapters) outlines the important pillars of an essential plan to address any (or all) of these conditions holistically. The book wraps up with a chapter of patient case stories. Accompanying the purchase of this book is access to a free 20-page PDF document that serves as a customizable workbook for readers to use as they read along. The Trifecta Passport dives into topics such as nervous system regulation, mold and other biotoxins, nutrition, exercise, detoxification, mental/emotional health and trauma, structural/musculoskeletal issues and the many underlying root issues (related to hormones, bacterial/viral load, gut health, etc.) that can trigger or exacerbate these conditions. This resource unpacks many different tools and practical treatment options that should be on the radar of patients living with these (and other) chronic conditions. When faced with these labels, it can be overwhelming to weed through all the resources out there to figure out how to move forward with a comprehensive and personalized road map. By helping readers put it all together in an organized manner, this book is a great resource for any patient with chronic illness as well as the caregivers and doctors who support them.

Hypermobility syndromes are more common, complex and varied than most practitioners realise. Every hypermobile patient is unique, and therefore challenging to treat using a pre-set paradigm or protocol. The hEDS population can be underserved by Western medicine and there is much that Chinese medicine can do for this community. This book is one of the first of its kind - a Chinese Medicine text focusing specifically on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Presenting existing bio-medical narratives before providing an in-depth exploration of the Chinese Medicine paradigms, this guide gives an overview of comprehensive treatment scenarios and addresses issues faced by EDS patients including pain management, psycho-emotional challenges, disruption of gut health, and chronic inflammation, including post-Lyme syndrome.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a complex, hereditary connective tissue disorder that affects many aspects of an individual’s physical health, ranging from joint pain to vascular complications. Beyond the physical challenges, EDS brings profound emotional and psychological burdens, including chronic pain, social isolation, anxiety, and the strain of living with a condition that often goes misunderstood or misdiagnosed. As individuals with EDS navigate their unique experiences, their psychological well-being can often be overshadowed by the focus on physical health. However, mental health plays a critical role in managing chronic conditions like EDS. This book was born from the recognition of the need for psychological support tailored specifically to individuals living with EDS, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a key framework to improve emotional resilience and mental health outcomes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with its structured approach to managing thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, has proven to be an effective tool in helping individuals cope with a variety of mental health challenges. In the context of EDS, CBT offers strategies for managing chronic pain, dealing with the emotional toll of frequent medical interventions, and learning how to balance the reality of the condition with hope and quality of life. This book aims to bridge the gap between medical treatment and mental health support for EDS, providing practical tools, techniques, and strategies that can be adapted to each person’s journey. Throughout the chapters, you will find a comprehensive exploration of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, insights into the psychological impact of living with a genetic disorder, and actionable CBT strategies designed to help individuals manage not only the physical but also the emotional complexities of their condition. From pain management to cognitive restructuring, and from dealing with trauma to building a resilient mindset, this book is intended to serve as a guide for individuals with EDS, their caregivers, and the professionals who support them. My hope is that this book will provide valuable support, foster a deeper understanding of the intersection between physical and mental health, and, ultimately, empower individuals with EDS to take charge of their psychological well-being. While the journey with EDS may be filled with challenges, it is also one that can be navigated with strength, resilience, and hope—with the right tools in hand. This book is dedicated to all those living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, their families, and the medical professionals who work tirelessly to support them. May this guide be a source of comfort, knowledge, and empowerment in your journey.

Welcome to "Treatment for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: Apometry, NLP, Regression, and Hypnosis." In the pages that follow, we embark on a journey into the realm of healing, exploring a comprehensive approach to tackling the challenges presented by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) through innovative techniques and holistic methodologies. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that affects connective tissues, presenting a wide array of physical and often unseen challenges. This book does not claim to be a replacement for medical advice or treatment but instead aims to supplement traditional approaches with alternative and complementary methods that tap into the potential of the human mind, body, and spirit. The Power of Apometry, NLP, Regression, and Hypnosis Our exploration begins with Apometry, a technique that harnesses the power of intention and energy to influence the body's natural healing processes. We delve into the capabilities of Apometry and its potential applications in the realm of EDS treatment. Alongside, we explore Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Regression, and Hypnosis, each offering unique avenues for addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of EDS. A Holistic Approach The heart of this book lies in the integration of various therapeutic modalities, creating a holistic tapestry that supports individuals on their healing journey. From understanding the intricacies of Apometry and crafting effective healing commands, to guiding the reader through step-by-step healing sessions, our aim is to provide practical tools for both practitioners and those seeking self-improvement. Unveiling the Unseen As we navigate the realms of spiritual healing, consciousness, and the subconscious mind, we acknowledge the profound interconnectedness between physical health and the intangible aspects of human experience. Through regression and hypnosis, we delve into the past to seek healing for the present, unveiling the potential for transformation. Beyond Boundaries This book does not shy away from pushing boundaries. We explore the intersections of Apometry with genetics, psychology, parapsychology, and even intergalactic beings. By intertwining these seemingly disparate fields, we aim to expand the horizons of healing possibilities. A Call to Empowerment Ultimately, this book is an invitation to empowerment. It is a call for readers to explore the depths of their own potential for healing, growth, and transformation. It is a testament to the remarkable capacities of the human mind and the extraordinary abilities we possess when we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. A Collaborative Effort The creation of this book was a collaborative effort, drawing upon insights from various disciplines, research, and personal experiences. It is my hope that the knowledge shared here will inspire readers, practitioners, and researchers to embark on their own journeys of exploration and discovery. As you embark on this journey through the pages that follow, I encourage you to keep an open mind and a receptive heart. The path of healing is a personal and unique one, and this book aims to be a guiding light, offering tools and insights to illuminate that path.
