Bulimia Treatment
By Thomas Morva, Mon Jan 2nd

Bulimia is an eating disorder compels people to binge on foodand then purge through self-induced vomiting, diuretics orlaxative abuse, or excessive exercise. People with bulimia tendto feel guilty and disgusted about food and fat. Even thoughmost people with bulimia begin at normal weights, they think ofthemselves as fat. Roughly 90 percent of the people with bulimiaare women, and the disorder usually begins a few years afterpuberty. Genetics, social pressures, and emotional problems likedepression, low self-esteem, and extreme perfectionismcontribute to bulimia's development.

Without bulimia treatment, people with bulimia become dehydratedand malnourished. This causes mineral and vitamin deficiencies,resulting in dry skin, nails, and hair. Many people with bulimiaare constipated from laxative abuse. Constant vomiting brings upstomach acid that irritates the throat and mouth. Many peoplewith bulimia have heartburn, gum infections, swollen salivaryglands, and cavities from the acid eroding tooth enamel. Withouttreatment, some of side effects, like kidney failure, can becomefatal. Dehydration can lower the body's electrolyte levels,causing heart problems or even death. About 10 percent of peoplewith bulimia will die from it.

Bulimia, however, is completely treatable. The sooner a personbegins bulimia

treatment, the sooner the recovery. Successfulrecovery depends on the work of psychiatrists, doctors,dieticians, and the patient. Psychiatrists work with the patientto break the binge-and-purge cycles and to educate the patientabout what she is doing to her body and mind. The psychiatristand patient must identify the triggers of a binging-and-purgingepisode, as well as help the patient cope with an unhealthy bodyimage. The patient must learn to communicate openly and mustincrease his or her self-esteem. Doctors work with the patientto treat the effects of bulimia's dehydration and malnutritionon the body. A dietician helps the patient develop healthyeating habits.

Group therapy and support groups are also helpful for peoplerecovering from bulimia. Information about many support groupscan be found online.

Eze 16:27 Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way. That sums it up perfectly for us awakened dieters. Our ordinary food was extraordinary and now it is diminished. We have been delivered to the sluggish metabolisms and it works against us at the slightest variant in our diet routine. We fall off the wagon one bump at a time and we are ashamed at our lewd relapses. O.K, I did add some writer liberties in... (more)

Honey "Then their father Israel said to them, If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift, a little balm and a little honey, some spices and myrrh, some pistachio nuts and almonds." Genesis 43:11

Exo 16:3 And the people of Israel said to them, "Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." This pains me to write on this verse. Can you imagine accusing someone and God of intent to kill you with hunger? Outlandish! Yet for those that will not embark on a diet, this is mumbled under the breath. How many times I have heard, "I can't diet. I am hungry all the time." Feeling the tummy grumble occasionally becomes the... (more)

Honey "...honey and curds, sheep, and cheese from cows' milk for David and his people to eat. For they said, The people have become hungry and tired and thirsty in the desert." 2 Samuel 17:29

Jas 2:15-16 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? The context of this verse is certainly to alert us to charity and good works and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Yet, we cannot help but to note that food indeed is needful and that as dieters we must face either being in subjection to it, or being in control over it. Food became an addiction to us, and although it is not the most difficult of... (more)
