Homeopathy is arguably the most unscientific alternative medicine. It postulates that a remedy becomes more effective when the active ingredient has been diluted out of existence. - Dr. Harriet A. Hall

‘I soon began to see similarities between the mum on screen, desperately trying to get her daughter out of the cult, and me at home, trying to pull my daughter from the grip of anorexia.’ Rachel Smeeth on the parallels between cults and anorexia. www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/mind...

Does anyone know if there’s a way of posting on Twitter and here? I need to be on here more on there. It can get so nasty over there.

Why anyone with a loved one with anorexia should be worried about the Assisted Dying Bill. www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/anor...

If a patient with a chronic illness refuses treatment and, as a result, is on a pathway to mortality, would this patient’s illness now be terminal? #AssistedDyingBill www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/anor...

I love this: ‘some of the consultants there inspired me with their compassion and their relentless hope… I think that’s what really called to me, that the kindness was probably the strongest thing that we had to fight against an eating disorder.’ www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/new-...

I wrote about concerns over assisted dying for those with eating disorders for the brilliant @nation.cymru - nation.cymru/opinion/as-t...

Please consider this: ⚠️Oregon’s assisted dying laws (closest to that proposed in 🇬🇧) limit assisted death to terminal illnesses only ⚠️Anorexia cannot be defined as a terminal illness ⚠️People with anorexia have HAD assisted deaths in Oregon 🚨We don’t need to fear a slippery slope. It’s here.

Still really proud of this piece, which never really got any traction for some reason. Perhaps because, well… www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/anor...

Some doctors in 2024 believe that, if they discharge a patient from treatment at an extraordinarily low BMI, their brains may be miraculously able to change. There is still a great deal of magical thinking in the world of eating disorders. www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/anor...

Have started writing something on the assisted dying bill. It will come as no surprise to those of you who know me that I’m finding I have quite a lot to say…

I gave a talk last week regarding ethics and #eatingdisorders care. My analysis was that the ethical dilemmas of severe illness are a product of an unethical system that allows these to arise in the first place: a system characterised by normalised neglect and upheld by a culture of ignorance..

So lovely to see so many friends here!

Morning. Reposting on here in case you missed it: www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/anor...

Why are eating behaviors never included on general mental health scales… eating is literally as basic a function as sleep #abct2024

Just going through my back catalogue. In case you missed it or are new to my blog: www.anorexiamyths.com/am-blog/ever...

I suspect even the anti vaxxers won’t be thrilled about RFK becoming in charge of health. They depend on *everyone else* being vaccinated, after all…

Arguably, the greatest advance in healthcare in the past 100 years was the widespread vaccination of children.

New blog post coming soon. We talk to the researcher leading a new trial into estrogen therapy for anorexia. Keep your eyes peeled.
