First of all we are not talking about FOOD ONLY.
Terri is without WATER TOO!!!
If anything her heart would have been weaken by the food disorder. Terri's heart is very strong. The food disorder is BS and it covers up the probable cause of a strangluation by HINO.
Precisely my point - and glad to see there are other Freepers who find it difficult to reconcile her prior 1991 history of cardiac arrest (for an eating disorder/electrolyte imbalance) with her present ability to endure starvation and dehydration without a similar collapse.
And let's not forget the two prior occasions when her feeding/hydration tube was removed. I don't believe she went into cardiac arrest then.
