My daughter had it prior to Carpenter’s death——most doctors didn’t know how to treat it.

This is off-topic (and thank you for this interesting article) but why do the British persist in using stones as a unit of weight? It’s even more archaic than our use of pounds.

From what I remember she started to recover and regain weight, but with many who have this condition, the body is so weakened one can die from the weight gain.

A friend’s daughter had an eating disorder and ruined her front teeth. The enamel wore off. Her sickness was different, bulimia. She threw up what she ate.

“This is off-topic (and thank you for this interesting article) but why do the British persist in using stones as a unit of weight? It’s even more archaic than our use of pounds.”

Every watch Benny Hill?

Man 1. “Don’t you know the Queen’s English?”

Man 2. “I’m sure she is!”

Translation: the English do everything different and since we’ve been freed of them, we have forgotten their ways and made our own.

These are the morons who would take umbrage if you suggested that Bill and Chelsea had committed incest or that Hillary and Chelsea were incestuous lesbian lovers.

I’ve heard of this! Bulimia Nervosa is closely related and sometimes girls (and boys but mostly girls) can have both. The constant barfing wears off the enamel on the teeth.

Our use of pounds isn't archaic. Pounds, pints, gallons, feet, inches, etc. are convenient measurements for which there is no metric equivalent. Perhaps the British feel the same way about measuring weight in stone.

Thanks for hat tip. Sounds like her mom and brother were real pieces of work. That’s the reality of showbiz, though. Many of the stars were seriously damaged long before they became famous.

I've never heard that in my life. I hope it's not true, but it was the '70s, so who knows.
