Story of a Recovered Bulimic

By: Ksana Vera (View Profile)

For five long, tenuous years I struggled, gained a little ground and lost a lot of ground, but I never quit. I did not let the setbacks and failures throw me off of my course to get healthy and best this disease. Little by little I began getting the answers to my questions and I began to slowly climb out of that deep, dark pit that was myself.

I took baby steps in incorporating successful and healthy changes in my life. My research gave me a few answers, but I am still learning. According to medical research, when the brain chemical, serotonin is abnormally low, the body goes on a mad binge to find the element of which it is being deprived. Because of this the binge eating ensues. Antidepressants can be effective in increasing the serotonin level, but there are other natural remedies as well. A natural remedy that has seen some success in patients with abnormal or fluctuating serotonin levels is Griffonia. When added with other herbs, this herb can help with depression, anxiety and other psychological ailments quite effectively. However, pills can only help you so much. I devised a daily scheduled self recovery program that literally saved my life. It currently is helping many others as well.

If you see signs of bulimia in someone that you know, talk to them. Encourage them to admit that they have a problem and give it a name it that helps. Sometimes if a person just says, “I am bulimic.” It can be the first step in the recovery process. Complete and full recovery is possible without drugs or doctors; all you need is to believe in yourself.

Hi, Ksana, my name is Abby. Thanks for the article you wrote. It gives me some hope. I am again practicing an eating disorder. It started out as bulimia, then because of the time it took and how exhausting it is after throwing up, I decided it would be better to just not eat, or enforce considerable food restriction. I'm just about 22, but all this began for me about three years ago. I was doing pretty well, with it all until several weeks ago. So to have read you say, it is hard and takes time, but can be done encourages me. I feel like a failure cause I can never stay permanently free from it. But maybe I just need to give it more time. Thanks again. Abby
