    In the past 7 years, the renowned scientist Michael Holick said, he has consulted or testified as an expert witness in more than 300 child-abuse cases. In almost every case, he has made the same finding.http://nyer.cm/QPTfR2o

        Yeah, this Doctor is a quack. I have been diagnosed with hEDS (and it's definitely more severe than presented here), AND was physically abused as a child. I also never had any bone fractures barring a broken toe at 12 that was from an accident.

        My hEDS took until my mid 20s to dx. I have gastroparesis & dysautonomia & walked on a cane since 14. My joints dislocate from impact long before bones fracture. None of this means I can't ALSO be abused. On the contrary disabled ppl are statistically MORE likely to be abused

        This makes zero fucking sense. 1. I have hEDS. It's not "the least severe" type and it's easy more damaging than this. 2. hEDS causes bones to DISLOCATE, not break. Fragile bones is more consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta. So that's also wrong. 3. Also a child abuse survivor

        So blaming potential abuse on a medical condition (one you clearly don't understand or know anything about) is dangerous af. This article is garbage and should be deleted.

        I shudder to think how many child abusers this quack is going to get off the proverbial hook. Doctors once made genetic excuses for Marybeth Tinning too, who murdered nine of her children. 🙄

        At the same time the „system“ is hardly pwrfect and might have destroyed lives in other ways. But yes, he does sound dangerous.

        this quack is going to give the very real condition of ehlers-danlos the reputation of being a cop out. It's already hard enough to get diagnosed we don't need someone playing doctor to allow actual child abusers to get away with it.

        Has anyone studied whether the kids continue to suffer bone fractures when placed with alternate caregivers? Seems like a pretty simple way to confirm Holick's contention that the injuries are consistent with normal handling of a child.

        The worship of wealth has untold consequences. The powerless are dispensable when 'free market' ideology is tasked with justice and human rights

        He is very dangerous. Although, like many dangerous people, there is an ounce of truth buried in his lies. There is a rare disease or two that can cause even a gentle touch, a butterfly touch, to leave bruises, and even easily broken bones. Studied it in college 25 years ago.

        Wrong EDS hypermobile sufferer dislocate way before they break It's quite severe. If you said "dislocated" I might buy it, but not broken bones, no way

        Yeah, I am an abuse survivor and I have hEDS. This guy is a complete nut. I only ever broke one bone as a kid, but cuts that didn’t heal, joints that popped, and bruises seemingly out of nowhere? That’s me.

        hmm, so all these women with EDS carried pregnancies, gave birth, or had c-sections without any complications that would have pointed towards a connective tissue disorder, and then within a year he's diagnosing them and their children via handshake?
