Fasting/diet/herbs is only about 1/4 the picture.

Mental is allot of the issues with those who eat then puke. In theory, all humans prefer to die. They seek a socially acceptable method to commit their suicide. Drugs is the choice method and accepted by the masses. We are in an end times when confusion rains.

Unhappy humans can not be saved, those who hate can not be saved. To live, a person has to want to live. Those wanting to die, will find a way.

Food is not the reason for death. It is more a thing of fear. People can be lost and die in 2-3 days, not from hunger, but from fear of hunger. Some people can go 40 days up to 6 months on a fruit fast, others can live well on fruit juice all their lives, while those that do not understand will get sick the first day they even try a fruit fast. LIFE is allot of mental issues. The ill may not be in control of their bodies that well, only the clean house has a clean spirit.

LOVE is more powerful than herbs/diet. The children who choose to starve to death have plenty of love issues.People live, when they have a reason.

I confused this with Bulimia as well. Thanks to honeysucklerose for pointing that out. However, I feel that some of the points are still applicable...

======================

I would say some of the bad food they eat (and they eat junk!) does get absorbed before purging (therfore a net waste/acid gain for the body).

They also do not retain the vitamins and minerals from fruits or other good things they might manage to ingest so malnutrition sets in (another negative).

Most are generally on medication of some sort, probably psychological drugs in most cases (another acid gain).

Most are depressed as MH says (that can't help health).

And many lead poor daily lifestyles because they have poor opinions of themselves, and thus I would speculate stay up late, sleep late, and do not play or get enough fresh air and sunshine.

Your question is good but is easily explained once you break down what the anorexic really is.

Anorexia is a psychological disorder where a person believes they are fat no matter how skinny they are. Then they are diagnosed with an "illness" and told they are sick. Then they believe they are sick and have a psycholigical disorder and have to deal with doctors, and surely they are told to eat crappy food or they will die. How could you not be sick after all that?
