Hi Madge,
I was listening to you and your friend Sherri talk about Terri. Honestly, I agree with you guys.

What ever happened to the phrase, “love them enough to let them go”

As for the public…I think its none of our business..even though its been thrown in our face…

And there’s another one I found a few years ago, I’m still searching for it now.

“Michael Schiavo said his wife suffered from bulimia that resulted in a potassium deficiency, triggering the heart failure.”
http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/03/22/schiavo/

The cause of the cardiac arrest was adduced to a dramatically reduced potassium level in Theresa’s body. Sodium and potassium maintain a vital, chemical balance in the human body that helps define the electrolyte levels. The cause of the imbalance was not clearly identified, but may be linked, in theory, to her drinking 10-15 glasses of iced tea each day. While no formal proof emerged, the medical records note that the combination of [Theresa's] aggressive weight loss, diet control and excessive hydration raised questions about Theresa from Bulimia, an eating disorder, more common among women than men, in which purging through vomiting, laxatives and other methods of diet control become obsessive.

Also relevant to questions about the cause of Terri’s collapse is the lawsuit that Michael brought on Terri’s behalf against Terri’s doctors. The premise of that early 1990s lawsuit was that the doctors committed malpractice by failing to diagnose Terri’s bulimia and that her bulimia led to her cardiac arrest. The case was tried to a jury, which ruled in Michael’s favor, finding that Terri had bulimia, that her bulimia caused her cardiac arrest, and that the doctors were negligent in failing to diagnose the situation. The verdict was appealed, and before the appellate court could rule, the parties settled, with Michael recovering approximately $750,000 for Terri and $300,000 for himself.

Hi Madge… I have to say it was exciting to hear Sheri on your Pcast today! I enjoyed listening in. And if you’re serious about the sleep/weight gain connection, I highly recommend LIGHTS OUT by T.S. Wiley. It was written in 2000… This new media reporting on the topic just now is a little behind the times. If you want the link to the book, here it is:

Oh and that link I posted – notice the guy’s finger has also been cut off. Nice little detail there.

Madge,

Try this is you your senseo
