Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Females comprise the vast majority of people with an

eating disorder : anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa,

or binge-eating disorder.In their lifetime, an

estimated 0.5 to 3.7 percent of females suffer from

anorexia and an estimated 1.1 to 4.2 percent suffer

from bulimia. An estimated 2 to 5 percent experience

binge-eating disorder in a 6-month period. Eating

disorders are not due to a failure of will or

behavior; rather, they are real, treatable illnesses.

In addition, eating disorders often co-occur with

depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders,

and also cause serious physical health problems.

 

Eating disorders call for a comprehensive treatment

plan involving medical care and monitoring,

psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medication

management.Studies are investigating the causes of

eating disorders and effectiveness of treatments.

 

The consequences of eating disorders can be severe - 5

percent to 20 percent of cases of anorexia nervosa

leads to death from starvation, cardiac arrest, other

medical complications, or suicide.

 

Bulimia nervosa, usually referred to as bulimia, is

defined as uncontrolled episodes of overeating

(bingeing) and usually followed by purging

(self-induced vomiting), misuse of laxatives, enemas,

or medications that cause increased production of

urine, fasting, or excessive exercise to control

weight. Bingeing, in this situation, is defined as

eating much larger amounts of food than would normally

be consumed within a short period of time (usually

less than two hours). Eating binges occur at least

twice a week for three months and may occur as often

as several times a day.

 

The cause of bulimia is not known. Factors believed to

contribute to the development of bulimia include:

 

- cultural ideals and social attitudes toward body

appearance,

- self-valuation based on body weight and shape,

- and family problems. Thirty to 50 percent of persons

with bulimia will also have met the criteria for

anorexia nervosa at the onset of their disorder.

 

 

The majority of bulimics are female, adolescent, and

from a high socioeconomic group. All westernized

industrial countries have reported incidence of

bulimia. An estimated 1 to 4 percent of females in the

United States are reported to have bulimia.

Adolescents who develop bulimia are more likely to

come from families with a history of eating disorders,

physical illness, and other mental health problems,

such as mood disorders or substance abuse. Other

mental health problems, such as anxiety disorders, or

mood disorders, are commonly found in persons with

bulimia.

 

Most people with eating disorders share certain

personality traits and use abnormal eating rituals as

a means of handling stress and anxiety. These

personality traits often include, but are not limited

to, the following:

 

- low self-esteem

- feelings of helplessness

- fear of becoming fat

 

People with bulimia (and binge eating disorder)

typically consume huge amounts of food - often junk

food - to reduce stress and relieve anxiety.

 

- With binge eating, however, comes guilt and

depression.

- Purging brings relief that is only temporary.

- Individuals with bulimia are usually impulsive and

more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as abuse

of alcohol and drugs.

 

There are two subgroups of anorexic behavior aimed at

reducing caloric intake, including the following:

 

- purging type - regularly engages in self-induced

vomiting or misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas,

or other cathartics (medications, through their

chemical effects, that serve to increase the clearing

of intestinal contents).

 

- non-purging type - uses other inappropriate

behaviors, such as fasting or excessive exercise,

rather than regularly engaging in purging behaviors to

reduce caloric absorption of excessive amounts of food

by the body.

 

The following are the most common symptoms of bulimia.

However, each individual may experience signs

differently. Symptoms may include:

 

- usually a normal or low body weight (sees self as

overweight)

- recurrent episodes of binge eating (rapid

consumption of excessive amounts of food in a

relatively short period of time; often secretive) ,

coupled with fearful feelings of not being able to

stop eating during the bingeing episodes

- self-induced vomiting (usually secretive)

- excessive exercise or fasting

- peculiar eating habits or rituals

- inappropriate use of laxatives, diuretics , or other

cathartics

- irregular or absence of menstruation

- anxiety

- discouraged feelings related to dissatisfaction with

themselves and their bodily appearance

- depression

- preoccupation with food, weight, and body shape

- scarring on the back of the fingers from the process

of self-induced vomiting

- overachieving behaviors

 

The symptoms of bulimia may resemble other medical

problems or psychiatric conditions. Always consult

your physician for a diagnosis.

 

Bulimia, and the malnutrition that results, can

adversely affect nearly every organ system in the

body, increasing the importance of early diagnosis and

treatment. Bulimia can be fatal. Consult your

physician for more information.

 

Bulimia is usually treated with a combination of

individual therapy, family therapy, behavior

modification, and nutritional rehabilitation.

Treatment should always be based on a comprehensive

evaluation of the individual and family. Individual

therapy usually includes both cognitive and behavioral

techniques. Medication (usually antidepressants or

antianxiety medications) may be helpful if the person

with bulimia is also anxious or depressed. The

frequent occurrence of medical complications during

the course of rehabilitative treatment requires both

your physician and a nutritionist to be active members

of the management team. Families play a vital

supportive role in any treatment process.

 

Medical complications that may result from bulimia

include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

- stomach rupture

- purging may result in heart failure due to loss of

vital minerals, such as potassium

- vomiting causes other less deadly, but serious,

problems, including: the acid in vomit wears down the

outer layer of the teeth, scarring on the backs of

hands when fingers are pushed down the throat to

induce vomiting, esophagus becomes inflamed, glands

near the cheeks become swollen

- irregular menstrual periods

- diminished libido

- individuals may struggle with addictions and/or

compulsive behavior

- many people with bulimia suffer from clinical

depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder,

and other psychiatric illnesses

- increased risk for suicidal behavior

 

Biochemistry and eating disorders:

 

To understand eating disorders, researchers have

studied the neuroendocrine system, which is made up of

a combination of the central nervous and hormonal

systems.

 

The neuroendocrine system regulates multiple functions

of the mind and body. It has been found that many of

the following regulatory mechanisms may be, to some

degree, disturbed in persons with eating disorders:

sexual function, physical growth and development,

appetite and digestion, sleep, heart function,

kidney function, emotions, thinking, memory

 

Many people with eating disorders also appear to

suffer from depression, and is believed that there may

be a link between these two disorders. For example:

 

- In the central nervous system, chemical messengers

known as neurotransmitters control hormone production.

The neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine,

which function abnormally in people who have

depression, have been discovered to also have

decreased levels in both acutely-ill anorexia and

bulimia patients, and long-term recovered anorexia

patients.

- Research has shown that some patients with anorexia

may respond well to antidepressant medication that

affects serotonin function in the body.

- People with anorexia, or certain forms of

depression, seem to have higher than normal levels of

cortisol, a brain hormone released in response to

stress. It has been shown that the excess levels of

cortisol in both persons with anorexia and in persons

with depression are caused by a problem that occurs

in, or near, the hypothalamus of the brain.

- Biochemical similarities have been discovered

between people with eating disorders and

obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and patients with

OCD frequently have abnormal eating behaviors.

- The hormone vasopressin is another brain chemical

found to be abnormal in people with eating disorders

and OCD. Levels of this hormone are elevated in

patients with OCD, anorexia, and bulimia.

 

Genetic/environmental factors related to eating

disorders:

 

Because eating disorders tend to run in families, and

female relatives are the most often affected, genetic

factors are believed to play a role in the disorders.

 

But, other influences, both behavioral and

environmental, may also play a role. Consider these

facts from the National Institute of Mental Health:

 

- According to one recent study, mothers who are

overly concerned about their daughters' weight and

physical attractiveness may put their daughters at

increased risk of developing an eating disorder. In

addition, girls with eating disorders often have a

father and/or brother(s) who are overly critical of

their weight.

- Although most victims of anorexia and bulimia are

adolescent and young adult women, these illnesses can

also strike men and older women.

- Anorexia and bulimia are found most often in

Caucasians, but these illnesses also affect

African-Americans and other races.

- People pursuing professions or activities that

emphasize thinness - such as modeling, dancing,

gymnastics, wrestling, and long-distance running - are

more susceptible to these disorders.

- In contrast to other eating disorders, one-third to

one-fourth of all patients with binge eating disorder

are men. Preliminary studies also show that the

condition occurs equally among African-Americans and

Caucasians.

 

Prevention of bulimia:

 

Preventive measures to reduce the incidence of bulimia

are not known at this time. However, early detection

and intervention can reduce the severity of symptoms,

enhance the process of normal growth and development,

and improve the quality of life experienced by

adolescents with bulimia. Encouraging healthy eating

habits and realistic attitudes toward weight and diet

may also be helpful.

Pranic Healing:

 

This treatment is preferably applied together with

medical psychotherapy treatment.

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. Teach the patient proper deep abdominal Pranic

Breathing. Wait until the patient had completed 12

cycles.

 

3. If the patient is capable of meditating, play the

Meditation on Twin Hearts cd and instruct the patient

to follow the guided meditation during treatment.

 

If the patient is not capable of meditating, ask the

patient to continue deep abdominal Pranic Beathing

during entire treatment.

 

For scanning and cleansing the chakras, use the divide

the chakra into 6 parts technique.

 

Before each application of sweeping, form the

intention to remove and disintegrate negative

thoughtforms and negative elementals of fear, trauma,

stress and anger.

 

Before energizing, rescan the cleansed chakra.

Continue sweeping until all sections are smooth,

clean and balanced. The sections of each chakra must

be thoroughly cleansed and balanced before energizing

the chakra.

 

When energizing, form the intention to also seal any

cracks or holes.

 

4. Localized sweeping using LEV or EV on the hand and

sole chakras, the basic chakra, navel chakra, stomach

and the lower abdominal area.

 

Energize with EV.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

solar plexus chakra using EV. Energize the solar

plexus thoroughly with EV.

 

If the solar plexus chakra is overactivated, inhibit

the solar plexus with LB.

 

6. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

spleen chakra. Energize the spleen chakra with LEV.

This has to be done with caution.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

heart chakra with LEV or EV.

 

Energize the heart through the back heart chakra with

LEV or EV.

 

8. Localized thorough sweeping on the different

sections of the brain (front, back, middle, core or

center, top left and top right side), especially the

sides of the head, the crown chakra, ajna chakra, base

of the head chakra, throat chakra and secondary throat

chakra with LEV or EV.

 

Energize with LEV or EV.

 

9. Localized sweeping on the entire spine with LEV or

EV.

 

10. Localized thorough sweeping on the kidneys and

the meng mein chakra. Energize the kidneys with W.

If the meng mein chakra is overactivated, inhibit the

meng mein with LB.

 

11. Creat chakral shields on the ajna chakra, throat

and secondary throat chakras, solar plexus chakra.

Create an auric shield.

 

12. Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

13. Repeat treatment once per day for the first

several days or until the condition is substantially

improved or stabilized. Gradually reduce frequency of

treatment to 3 or 2 times per week.

 

14. Teach the patient the proper practice of the

Meditation on Twin Hearts for psychological well

being. Encourage the patient to practice the

Meditation daily, including the physical exercises.

This healing meditation is an anti depressant that

cleans, expells or disintegrates negative elementals

and seals the cracks or holes on the protective webs.

It also activates and energizes the brain cells.

 

If possible, encourage the patient's family to

practice the Meditation with her.

 

15. Teach the patient how to create a positive self

image through visualization or through writing down a

list of positive thoughts about herself. Ask her to

practice visualizing herself in this positive picture

or to read her positive thoughts list for 5 minutes

once or several times each day and simultaneously do

proper deep abdominal Pranic Breathing.

 

16. Regular practice of deep abdominal Pranic

Breathing for 5 minutes per session, several sessions

per day especially when experiencing stress.

 

17. Apply distant Pranic Psychotherapy on the

patient's family members and home.
