Rhode Island Support Group
Individuals with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue, the tissue that provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS are the result of faulty collagen. Collagen is a protein, which acts as a “glue” in the body, adding strength and elasticity to connective tissue.
For more information about EDS please visit EDNF.org
We are a support group for those with all types of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and their caregivers, family and friends.

Jill is wonderful! I really miss having my colonics. She is so full of wisdom. She is professional and humorous as well. Her intelligence and knowledge of natural medicine surpasses above and beyond. If you need a good cleanse and a wealth of information in a safe, cozy, and professional environment, see Jill…I doubt you will be disappointed. ❤
