Question
I am doing a research paper for school and i have to look in and out of everything for the disorder of anorexia and there is just one thing i really can't seem to find. You see in my report i have to talk about the history of anorexia and i was wondering if you might be able to help me find out or even direct me to where i could find out who the first person recorded was that had anorexia! Thanx........

I'm going to give you a cheat sheet - but hope you realize that it's just something to start with and learn from. PLEASE don't take someone else's hard work. It's no different from helping yourself to their car, their home or other precious, hard earned things in their lives.
After this, check my site for more clinical information on anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders.

Expertise
I have lived it and survived it. I know every excuse, reason, thought, feeling and rationalization - and I'm going to be very honest in my advice.
Experience
I've lost (& gained)HUNDREDS of lbs over a lifetime, more than 30 years of "professional dieting". Presently a counselor for sufferers of eating disorders, a nutritional advisor and spiritual counselor (Reverend,doctor); I've been on every diet there is and used the most bizarre weight loss products you can imagine. I am FORMERLY obese, anorexic (several times), bulimic MOST of the time - and maintaining size 4, with no gimmicks, devices, programs, pills or supplements.
I currently investigate the diet industry on behalf of consumers who do not need to be ripped off while struggling to be healthy. I WILL expose them all and I WON'T be intimidated, bullied or bought. My advice is for cost-free options. I have nothing whatsoever to gain from my recommendation(s). I make no money from my website and I sell, promote, endorse NO diet/health products, programs or devices. You'll also never see me on the receiving end of a hidden camera report...but you can be assured, I won't quit until I've exposed those who are out to take advantage of you.
It's a matter of choices. We need to stop complicating things.
