Vegetarianism or veganism makes it worse (50% of cases linked to switching away from meat)
Zinc (85% recovered) 10% increase in BMI in another study, taken after food, 15 to 30mg twice a day,
b1, b3
magnesium
Amino acids
celiac disease
essential fatty acids
eventually need to add copper with the zinc
35% of anorexics abuse alcohol or drugs vs. 3% of the general population
(see drive)
James wrote a book on anorexia and offers a course on it (and free webinars too).

Anorexics often dealing with unrelenting chronic fear (food avoidance the only way they can stop this pervasive anxiety). (see my article on anxiety perhaps)

Any vaccination in the previous 3 months linked to 1.80x increase in anorexia nervosa (age 6 to 15)









cases doubled from 2000 to 2018

suicide 31X (more than 50% of deaths do to suicide not medical complications of starvation)
Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) 5.9 or 4.37
Lifespan 25 years less on average

in comparison 

schizophrenia had 20x risk of suicide
SMR of 1.51 to 3.34 (swedish study 4.8x)
Lifespan 8 to 25 years less

Recovery rates for Anorexia are higher
