The Real Life Radio Show with Evangelist Anh Le

"Throw up in order to go up" Former Bulimic, Marcela Eslao tells all with Anh Le

In today's testimony we are going to talk about Bulimia Nervosa, a condition which mostly affects 1.3 % of females, and 0.5% of males, but it is a condition where someone binge eats, and then purges (vomits) up all their food so as not to gain weight. The causes of Bulimia are unknown to scientists, but they know that it can run in families. Why would someone torture themselves by being so obsessed with weight gain enough to go through extremes of making themselves throw up all their food? Are there severe consequences to this behavior? Yes there are, and today we will have Marcela Eslao who developed Bulimia Nervosa as a teenager, and struggled with bulimia throughout much of her adult life. She is going to reveal some of the dark realities associated with Bulimia, and explain to us why she almost became addicted to the lifestyle.

Drugged, raped, humiliated. Former Addict Catherine Whisenand tells all with Anh Le

And I think that movie really relates to mankind, because there are all sorts of things that are temptations that will lead us to something we never thought we would ever go through. Drugs is one of those temptations, that though you may have never experienced that, you are going to hear from Catherine Whisenand who became a drug addict through peer pressure when she was younger, and it led her to a horrible destructive pathway, where her life was brought forth into horrible situations
