Eating Disorders are difficult to treat, and millions of people
suffer from them. Approximately five million women and men in the
United States suffer from anorexia or bulimia, and as many as 15
percent of anorexics and bulimics will die, which is tragically the
highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Eager to emphasize
the way our treatment breaks the traditional mold, Cecilia Bergh,
founder of Mandometer(R) Clinics states, "Disordered eating causes
psychological problems in patients, and most patients treated with
our method recover from their eating disorder." The innovative
approach taken by the founders of the Mandometer(R) Clinics,
teaches patients to slowly restore their relationship with food.
The device, called the Mandometer(R), provides instant feedback
during each meal by asking the patients to rate how full they feel
and charts the rate at which they should be eating. This method
trains the patients to eat at a normal pace, while reconnecting the
body's feelings of hunger and fullness. Treatment also includes the
elimination of psychiatric drugs, a special thermal treatment,
restriction of physical activity, and the rebuilding of social
skills. For more information please visit
