Recently, I read a "study exhibition" article online, claiming that eating disorders have mysterious, undetermined biochemical causes. This article is full of error messages and unconfirmed claims, including the following:
"...Different from neurological diseases that can usually be pinpointed to specific brain lesions, eating disorders may be anomalies in the distribution of abnormal activity in the brain system. Modern neuroscience and modern psychology can better understand Eating disorders."
In fact, eating disorders are conjectures that are caused by chemical imbalances or abnormal brain activity that can easily be refuted. I will only talk about the lack of evidence for these claims and then turn to the actual deficiencies.
1.] In the 20-year study, there is no biochemical evidence that eating disorders are caused by chemical imbalances, genetic mutations, pathogens or any other neurological abnormalities;
2.] SSSI or psychotropic substances [different forms of antidepressants] have been shown to have any effect on eating disorders;
3.] Antidepressants do not even help people with depression, eating disorders or not. A 2000 study by Prozac and Selexor in the American Journal of Psychiatry showed that 24% of psychotic patients taking prescription drugs responded well to herbal medicine. John's wort; Zoloft is 25% and placebo is 30%. Therefore, sugar pills show more help than drugs.
The problem of "chemical imbalance" is a bit of an egg and egg situation. Because people know that addictive substances are the "happy center" of the brain, bold addictive effects may alter the brain's chemical response. When re-learning to eat, bulimia must fight against a very real desire and essentially "reconnect" her brain. However, this does not indicate that bulimia is caused by chemical abnormalities. On the contrary, as in the case of drug users, it refers to the chemical dependence caused by behavior [rather than the opposite].
In addition, if the psychiatrist determines that eating disorders are "diseases", why is the diagnosis purely symptom-based? What diagnostic tests are used to determine allegedly abnormal brain activity? Cat scanning? MRI? blood test? Biopsy? Organizational sample? No. Absolutely not. If these eating disorders are just "diseases", why do people who carry them feel guilty about their behavior? If they have chickenpox or cancer, do they feel guilty? Or, at that time, they knew that, deep down, they did something wrong, even if they were not sure what they were forcing?
Knowing that I am a Bible counselor and writing a book on the Bible's answers to food addiction, the forum administrator for this special article asked me to write an article about God's eating disorders. Let me say from the outside that God's view of eating disorders is the same as his view of all other addictions: he calls it sin. Sin is an act, speech or thought that goes against God's will and character. Addiction is a life-led crime .
Re-marking 'sin' as a disease' or' disease' trying to eliminate personal responsibility for this behavior. Iowa Congressman Harold Hughes, who is responsible for alcohol treatment, admits that the aggressive movement of alcoholism is called "alcoholism." The American Psychiatric Association is simply trying to get health insurance companies to pay for treatment and continue to look for hospitals. By the way, it works. Restoration; on the contrary, if we realize that this behavior is a rebellion against God, who we create is the image and call it - sin - we may have great hope! We already know what the answer is - confession.
Anorexia and bulimia are mental illnesses that pretend to be physical illnesses. In fact, for this reason, I believe this word "recovery" from
It's a bit inaccurate, so I try to avoid using it. restore from
It has the connotation of rehabilitation and passive improvement typical of physical diseases. I hope to teach you how repentance So that God will recover you. Since the Bible speaks of overcoming sin, we can also use this word here. Christ promises victory to all who are in him. This is our ultimate goal.
In fact, drug addiction Learning behavior Can unlettered . I hope that we all agree that self-destruction is a crime. I have seen 1 Corinthians 6:19, "You don't know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit." from
It's off the background and is used against everything from perforation to eating French fries, but I don't think it's an extension to apply it to eating disorders. The Bible always refers to "gluttony" with a negative eye [see Deuteronomy 21:20; Proverbs 23:21; Matthew 11:19; Titus 1:12]. In 1 Corinthians 6:20, Paul continues, "So respect God and your body." from
Later in the same letter he said, "Whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do it for the glory of God." from
[1 Corinthians 10:31]. Does gluttony respect or honor God? Does it show self-control?
Ask yourself honestly: Do I think my behavior [biting, cleaning, starving or eating too much] is guilty? If so, can you really continue? Bible counselor and author Martha Peace succinctly expounded on this issue: "Blood eating disorder is wrong for two reasons: first, it can cause serious medical problems, such as damage to the esophagus and teeth. Lack of self-control, want to be thin So bad, you are willing to sin is idolatry."
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Paul lists us which types of people, and if they continue to choose a sinful lifestyle, they will not inherit the kingdom of God. He reminded the Corinthians to complete his sin of a series of life-dominated, "Some of you." from
He is talking about Christians who are controlled by things like alcohol, greed and homosexuality before they believe in Christ and turn away from their sinful way of life. "Were" has passed. They abandoned this way of life. If God commands us to repent, the Bible tells us that if we are in Christ, sin no longer has the power to control us, then it must be possible to "postpone" addiction and "put on" freedom. God does not ask for something that we cannot give. His child has achieved perfect holiness through the death of Christ on the cross. Therefore we are told in Philippians 3:16 "Do not live up to the goals we have achieved." from
This includes idolatry in confession anorexia and bulimia.
