[Everything doTERRA] Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Has anyone had any experience with EDS? A friend's daughter's are both
affected by it and she is hoping to find a protocol to support them.
I'm including the Mayo Clinic's definition as an FYI.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can offer.

In-Joy,

Definition By Mayo Clinic staff

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders that
affect your connective tissues — primarily your skin, joints and blood
vessel walls. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is uncommon.

In Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, genetic mutations disrupt the production of
collagen, a chief component of connective tissue. Doctors have
identified several types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with varying
symptoms, but all types affect your joints, and most affect your skin.

Prominent signs and symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome include
stretchy, fragile skin and flexible joints that extend beyond the
normal range of movement. It's possible to have very flexible, or
"double" joints. This isn't the same as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Complications of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may limit your physical
activities. The syndrome does not affect mental function.
