Re: eating disorder

There are many things you have not disclosed, such as what is your diet
like now (and how many calories consumed) versuss what it used to be.
The cod liver oil is toxic, and it will suppress your thyroid, leading
to weight gain, but in a very unhealthy way. I lost at least 30 pounds
within half a year, and was only perhaps 132/133 to begin with. It
seems to have been related to lack of stomach acid, which was
exacerbated by my "vegan" diet, so you could try stomach acid and
pepsin supplements. If you feel a warm or burning sensation, that
means that is not a problem, and you can just drink water to neutralize
it.

You should make sure you are getting good quality protein, without any
unhealthy trappings (like oxidized cholesterol) so boiled eggs are
good, as is raw, organic cheese. I found that ice cream seems to help
weight gain especially.

If you were tested for all kinds of problems, such as anemia, I'll bet
they did not do a simple orthostatic hypotension test. You can do it
yourself, if you can take your pulse and blood pressure. Lie down flat
for at least 20 minutes, then take your pulse and BP, then stand up and
walk around a little, but keep it very leisurely; no brisk walking, for
at least 5 minutes. Then take pulse and BP again. If BP goes down
while pulse goes up, this is your problem. You may be hypovolemic, so
you will need to drink more. Tropical fruit juice with no additives
seems to work best (make sure they don't put apple juice or grape juice
in there, just the tropical fruit).

Try out these suggestions and then post back here to tell us what
happened. If this doesn't work, and you supply more details, we can
take it from there.
