"Its anathema to consider how debilitating cancer treatments are, as it is how alternative therapies would have dealt with these girls after they were hospitalised"
Ugh I've been in the hospital for an ED, and I can tell you they don't do anything but make you eat the standard American diet. Which ultimately makes you depressed and sicker. I would imagine that's why I've met so many people on Curezone who've had eating disorders. I've also met people at my naturopath who've had them as well. Stressing your body out by not eating and not providing nutrients to keep the organs functioning is harmful enough, but then forcing Sugar and refined foods into an already stressed body? A bad combination.
