He sent me greetings and he wrote the following regarding the book´s launch : " Dear Jaime, I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sending me a copy of your wonderful new book and your additional research. Given my current medical condition, I would be very interested in learning more about the benefits of folic acid and its impact on EDS and osteoporosis. . UNTIL NEXT TIME"

Thanks Jaime!!!! Learning from teachers like you and from shrewd and

simple patients is my illusion and daily curiosity.
Receive my hug of gratitude and my congratulations on the success of

the presentation and launch of your book.

 

CLARIFICATION ON THE CHANGE OF NAME

I have determined not to continue using the Ehlers-Danlos type III diagnosis, but to use the new official classification of this syndrome, Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, to avoid problems for my patients, especially those from other countries (Europe and North America) causing confusion in the type of diagnosis.

My clinical experience of more than 9000 patients, and in my work of 2300 patients, presented at the First International Symposium of Ehlers-Danlos, in September 2012, in Ghent, Belgium, with a confirmed diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos, found that 51% were NOT hypermobile (Beighton Score equal to or less than 4/9) led me to use the name SED-III throughout my publications
