No Such Thing As Anorexia. Posted: 09-16-04 07:18am
Serious anorexia (eg. Anorexia nervosa)
is actually a systemic
vascular problem also called multiple
system atrophy. Other
symptoms include insomnia, hypotentosion,
orthostatic-intolerance
which all lead to a diagnosis of arterial
tone loss due to vascular and
organic changes. The underlying medical
condition common with
several other (improperly) so called
"mental illnesses" is the
"endothelial dysfunction". Only gene
therapy in very young people
can give them a change to survive.
Do not believe that it is cause by bad
habits or cognitive impairment.
Hunger, like breathing, is not much
influenced by the cognitive
function. Their body gets wasted because
they were born with
significant arterial abnormalities and
their body cannot be nourished
and oxygenated regardless how many
calories they eat.

Clarification Posted: 10-04-04 08:28am
Can you explain why the posting you
reacted to is bull?
You gave no details and no reason why the
two medical conditions
mention by the other guy have nothing in
common.
Otherwise, we will have to take you word
for granted even if your
posting contains words that are probably
filtered out in this forum.
