Re: I am NOT fasting anymore until..

Anya,
thank you for pointing that out to me re' the use of the term "nervosa" written within the article re' the treatment of anorexia.

I am sure that the article was mostly referring to anorexia only, and what you have also referred to as "postprandial anorexia" which I believe is common to everyone who feels satiated after a meal.
Constant hunger on the other hand, without satiation after a meal, must be very very difficult to live with, and where this may even confirm the role of the appestat, and how this may not be functioning properly in cases such as these.

I too was surprised to find (after not scrutinizing it properly) that an article endorsed by these medical professionals:
Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. Damien Downing, M.D. Harold D. Foster, Ph.D. Steve Hickey, Ph.D. Abram Hoffer, M.D., Ph.D. Bo H. Jonsson, MD, PhD. Thomas Levy, M.D., J.D. and
Erik Paterson, M.D. (who are the heavyweights of Orthomolecular Medicine) endorsed and peer-reviewed the role of vitamins in its treatment, and where this only goes to show that with so many diverse cases that are labeled with an ED, this could affect a cure.
Fairly obviously this case was not affected by any emotional trauma as the root cause.

You may be interested to know a little about my own history which featured anorexia and how this affected my health into my twenties..............

Soon after birth I was diagnosed with what was then known as consumption or today as tuberculosis, and where as a result I spent the first two years of my life mostly in sleep, and had to be awoken for feeding: the legacy of this condition left me with no appetite or desire for food at all and where my lungs were damaged and underdeveloped throughout my childhood and formative years as a result of this disease. I would even "pay" my brother to eat the Sunday roast served at lunchtime that day, to which he readily agreed, without my parents even knowing.
I even took self-written notes to my school which were supposed to be from my parents to avoid the need to eat those things I did not like (which was almost everything on offer).
The Doctors of the day said that I would eat when hungry: which never appeared and that there was nothing to worry about.

This affected my physical and mental development which in turn affected my educational achievements until I discovered Natural Hygiene in my late teens/early twenties, and which became the answer to my prayers in curing my Leukemia and restoring my health to what should have been my true vigor & potential as a human being.

Anorexia affected one third of my entire life, but thankfully did not have its origins within emotional trauma, but that of the physical origin of want of appetite.
I can do no better here than to quote Dr Felix L Oswald MD, who in one paragraph summarizes my entire existence for that period of time..............

"WANT OF APPETITE is not always a morbid symptom, nor even a sign of imperfect digestion. Nature may have found it necessary to muster all the energies of our system for some special purpose, momentarily of paramount importance. Organic changes and repairs, teething, pleuritic eruptions, and the external elimination of bad humors (boils, etc.), are often attended with a temporary suspension of the alimentary process. As a rule, it is always the safest plan to give Nature her own way".
Felix L Oswald MD.

We are all playing for the same team, in the hope, intention and desire of winning the game.
I did.......and I hope that everyone else discovers that winning feeling which has no equal.

Regards

Chrisb1.
