Friend of mine survived the flesh eating disease (22 years old) and know another who has a faulty liver which left coulouring all over the back… The latter is usually caused by drinking and jaundice most of the time….
With regard to facial hair, well I suffer from it and I know how many people make fun of me because of it. I am not allowed surgery because of my colour so make do with waxing and threading once on three days to keep my looks intact.
I was a former ramp model BTW….

How can that be? Most of these genetic and bacterial conditions cannot be cured, especially by lifestyle and homeopathic. These are so rare that many treatments aren’t even known yet. Though interesting photos. Good for a scare factor and, yes, they are all real.

Great job. I feel sorry for some of the people that lose a lot of quality in life because of the diseases.

First of all, osteogenesis imperfecta is when people have brittle bones that break very easily, ehlers danlos syndrome is related, because the problem is to do with collagen production, but it is not the same thing.
I have ehlers danlos, there are seven types of it. Depending on which type you have it can affect skin, tendons and ligaments, and the digestive system. It causes chronic pain and dislocations and it CANNOT be cured, just managed with physio and painkillers.
I’m all for raising awareness, but get your facts straight!
