This NY Times article entitled "
Protocol to Treat Anorexia is Faulted" explores how the standard protocol of "start low, advance slow" with giving food and nourishment to anorexics early in their hospitalization may be faulty. The article discusses how recent research reveals that this protocol actually results in continued weight loss before increasing weight. However, other researchers are concerned about the physical and emotional consequences of changing the protocol. What do you think? What makes sense to you in terms of helping anorexics early in their hospitalization? How should future research be conducted?
