November 15, 2010
Greenblatt, chief medical officer at a psychiatric clinic, presents an interesting approach to treating anorexia. Defining it as a biological/genetic disorder that causes psychiatric problems as opposed to the reverse, he treats the nutritional deficiency hoping that once the brain and body have the proper nutrition, the psychological symptoms such as obsessive thoughts about body image will cease. He outlines a recommended program of zinc supplementation, probiotics, fatty acids, and referenced-electroencephalograms (EEGs) to assess brainwaves and help select drug therapies. He doesn't eschew medication and psychotherapy but suggests that once the nutritional deficiencies are managed, these therapies are more effective. Medical research supports zinc supplementation and some other aspects of the program. The writing is clear and the tone, hopeful, with examples of recovery from Greenblatt's practice. VERDICT Greenblatt doesn't appear to have published any studies or performed clinical trials. However, since other treatments for anorexia have such dismal recurrence rates, his plan might be worth exploring. Recommended for comprehensive health collections and anorexia patients and their caregivers.--Elizabeth Williams, Washoe Cty. Lib. Syst., Reno, NV
