HYPERMOBILE YES! These are exact postures chosen by hypermobile patients with unilateral sacroiliac joint disorder & low back pain on that side. One leg bolsters the other so as to hold up the hemi-pelvis on side the SIJ is subluxing; because it hurts to sit on that buttock.
You might also be hypermobile, just sayin'... \U0001f609

Korean scientists quantify lift off, descent, & propagation of various bacteria “species” in the atmosphere & as high as 1,000 meters. These micro-spaceships average about 8 micrometers (if I got that right).
Atmospheric density of bacteria particles relates, in part, to their ability to nucleate with other airborne particles. Scientists can even differentiate the aerodynamic properties of these bacteria from larger (factor of 10x) pollen spores & larger fungal spores (factor of 5x).
Most surprisingly, these bacterial-driven spaceships can live & propagate while in the atmosphere via nutrient atmospheric milieus & sources of alcohols & other organic substrates.
In the mid-1980’s, Princess Stephanie (sister of Prince Rainier of Monaco) invited me to present at an intimate “Energy Medicine” symposium in that small kingdom. I remember it was their national holiday of fireworks & celebration.
the prevalence of dancers, gymnasts, and cheerleading is extremely high in the EDS community. :) I was, too. Here's a video, if you're interested, to test yourself with the Beighton scale: https://t.co/Klrh05MKM7

An experience I have with patients who have stigmata of hypermobility is that I will comment on their widespread joint Hypermobility & their rejoinder commonly is, “of course I do Yoga”.
When patients tell me that my heart sinks. I was excited to tell them that I think that I have an explanation for several of their seemingly disparate symptoms in several of the dysautonomia & MCAS spheres.
Instead, disheartening disappointment takes over as I realize that their yoga devotion has now forestalled my ability to teach them about hypermobility & many attendant dysfunctions they suffer.
When I examine women with hypermobility I sometimes say, “you would be great in yoga”. Often they tell me, “well, that is why I can bend like this, it is because I take yoga”.
Seems like very drastic measures for a very unproven theory.. \U0001f928 Not to mention a lot of this advice would be unsafe or lead to further issues for those with #EhlersDanlos or Hypermobility https://t.co/s88MHnnrRx

My theory how persons with Fibromyalgia, wasting diseases & severe fatigue should exercise is that they should start with very gentle activities whereat gravity is negated & then through gradations of activities whereby exposure to gravity is gradually increased.
The first phase of exercise for persons with Fibromyalgia & wasting diseases should be similar to what was done with polio in the 1900’s: Warm water relaxes spastic muscles & enables joint range of motion exercises with gravity relatively negated.
During warm water physical therapy, efforts include specific exercises to strengthen muscles supporting a body tower able to stand on land; the goal. Trapezium, Serratus ant., Rhomboids, Rectus abd., Transversus, para-lumbars, Glutes, & all leg muscles must be strengthened.
Once standing on land has been achieved, then moving on land is the next goal. Moving would include crawling & walking. During this phase, people might need extra support of a sacroiliac joint belt &/or perhaps even knee supporters in the beginning. Walking sticks might help.

Way to discern spastic unilateral Superior trapezius muscle: look in mirror, view your auto driver license photo, & to pinch leading edge of each Superior trapezius to determine which leading edge is painful to pressure & also thicker; from supporting a chronically tilted head.
Looking in the mirror enables the person to view which shoulder is lower. The head usually tilts toward the lower shoulder side; causing Superior trapezius muscle on the higher shoulder side to be spastic from chronically supporting a tilted head (weighs about 10#).
The drivers license photo often confirms which shoulder is lower and provides clue as to which direction the head usually & chronically tilts. Some people pick a posed posture & straighten up when they pose for a photo. Therefore, other and more candid photos might be examined.
Often, especially in hyper-mobile women, the spine is curved with a functional scoliosis (straightens when reclined), and this is explanation for the asymmetric shoulders and tilted head.

Before I go into results, I must say this was overwhelming. There was SO MUCH the lab identified, impossible to put everything here. So I made a summary. At the end of this thread, I have linked a full analysis described in Excel format. Some results were VERY concerning
3/
How did we analyse?
Here R links 2 methods
They R high end, done under strict protocols
Frm Ministry of Forest, Environment, Climate / NABL approvd Lab
ICP-OES https://t.co/O1CLhqVQAu
GC MSMS https://t.co/zRJoXyWQIr
FTIR https://t.co/goAembQ08p
Here is list V analysed 👇
4/
Sample names written on top (each column).
First 5 samples: C what we identified in #Ayurveda #medicines
Antibiotics
Steroids (anabolic/synthetic)
#NARCOTICS - LSD, Morphine
Blood thinners (possible reason Y bleeding tests were off the roof in the patient)
Heavy metals!
5/
Next 5 samples (total 10 now)
Mercury is clear winner. Almost all samples
See controlled substances - Butyrolactones https://t.co/CPz0FwPEOm, methylamine https://t.co/OZnXY7U9UQ
Alcohols, industrial solvents
Rare metals - cobalt, lithium
Again lots of blood thinners

I followed @FitTuber advise and got all these #Ayurveda medicines which he outright claimed are '#safer', ''#effective' than conventional prescription drugs for day to day use. These will be tested for #safety first - will undergo GCMSMS, ICP-OES and FTIR analyses.#MedTwitter pic.twitter.com/IS2KrtsoO8
10 drugs, details, batch numbers R given in pic👇. All by @baidyanathgroup exept 1 by https://t.co/tg46sBhJr2
We did GCMSMS, ICP-OES and FTIR analyses on these samples. Here are my 10 safer modern medicine alternatives 2 @FitTuber's untested, potentially harmful #Ayurvedic drugs
Kanthsudharak Vati by Unjha Pharma
@FitTuber: 4 sorethroat, cold, cough
Analysis: Lead 0.54 mg/kg, Cadmium 0.4 mg/kg, Thallium 0.71 mg/kg and industrial phenols.
Low values, but not ideal.
Safe alternative: Levocetrizine & non-sedative cough syrup Levodropropizine
Baidyanath Rajbati
@Fittuber: for bloating, gas
Analysis:
Mercury 1.2 mg/kg
Arsenic 2.25 mg/kg
Male anabolic hormone - hydroxy testosterone+
Curcumin
Talc powder
Safer alternative: activated charcoal+simethicone (non-absorbed, no side effects) or short course esomeprazole.
Baidyanath Bilwadi Choorna
@Fittuber - 4 diarrhoea
Analysis
Thallium 3.68 mg/kg
[fun fact: 10-15 mg/kg is lethal dose for humans. Death can occur at lower dosages] https://t.co/9ozOKROhCK
Fenretinide - synthetic anti-cancer drug
Liver toxic chromium phosph.
Safer: Racecadotril
