Anorexia and Bulimia
ConditionForcing oneself to vomit requires enormous amounts of adrenaline, which creates an addictive euphoric high similar to heroin. Starts with purging once, then brain plateaus and requires more frequent purging. The adrenaline from purging can be even more addictive than from bingeing because purging triggers larger adrenaline spurts as a protection mechanism.
The conventional approach of high protein and fat for anorexia recovery does not work — forcing chicken or steak is disastrous for someone with anorexia. The Brain Saver eating disorders chapter contains comprehensive information that goes beyond what any medical or psychological resource currently offers.
When food is withheld, the adrenal glands explode all day giving a high — the person lives off adrenaline instead of blood sugar. Eventually the adrenaline high is not enough, so eating stops for longer periods to get more adrenaline. The adrenals become the food source.
- Different cases of these eating disorders have different causes. Emotional distress, emotional injury, toxic heavy metal exposure, extreme stress, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), societal expectations, and body shaming about how we're 'supposed' to look are some of the factors that can contribute, often in combination with each other. When purging is part of someone's struggle, extra adrenal support is needed.
