Anorexia Recovery & Anorexia Cures That Works!

There’re alot of anorexia cures self help book available in the market, this week i will review Harriet Brown’s “Brave Girl Eating” is the story of her daughter Kitty’s descent into anorexia and the long road of recovery for the entire family.

Millions of families are affected by anorexia eating disorders, which usually strike young women between the ages of fourteen and twenty. But current medical practice ties these families’ hands when it comes to helping their children recover. Conventional medical wisdom dictates separating the patient from the family and insists that “it’s not about the food,” even as a family watches a child waste away before their eyes. With all sorts of possible anorexia cures available. One can be rather confused.

Is this an anorexia cures “must read book”?

Harriet Brown shows how counterproductive and heartbreaking this approach is by telling her daughter’s story of anorexia. She describes how her family, with the support of an open-minded pediatrician and a therapist, helped her daughter to use anorexia cures using family-based treatment, also known as the Maudsley approach.

The most moving parts are when she recounts her own struggles as a mother to come to grips with Kitty’s anorexia and how it changed her and the rest of their family. She brings to life the fact that eating disorders impact everyone, not just the person who has the eating disorder. Her description of watching her beautiful, smart daughter’s personality change as the disordered thinking of anorexia comes to the fore is heart-breaking.

But this isn’t a hopeless story at all. Ms. Brown describes her discovery of family-based treatment (the Maudsley approach) to  anorexia cures, and how it has a high success rate of helping people recover from eating disorders. She takes us through the anorexia cures program step by step, showing both the good and the bad. I cheered right along with her as Kitty slowly gained weight and the aparkle of her natural personality reappeared. Anorexia is a terrible disease, but this book can give us courage that anorexia can be cured.

For any parent with a teenager, or teenager to be, this is a must read. Story telling at its best, combining science (although no jargon, thank you very much), wrenching personal memoir, and dazzling prose, “Brave Girl Eating” will be a landmark book, shining a compassionate light on the experiences of Harriet Brown and her family in learning first hand about anorexia. A mature writer hitting her stride, Harriet Brown writes with the authority of a professional journalist and the love of a parent about the current state of treatment for eating disorders. She offers hope in her experience of the Maudsley approach in helping her teenage daughter learn to feed herself and the journey towards that ultimate anorexia cures.

I loved this book and would suggest it to anyone whose life has been touched with an eating disorder.

I also recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great anorexia cures story.
