"A few of them show signs of having been fractured."

Really? A fracture? That's gotta hurt!

How do you think that happened? Are you saying that maybe this wasn't the first time she passed out? Maybe fell down the stairs or something?

Wouldn't she have gone to the hospital with a fracture? Are there any hospital records to that effect? What did she say happened?

Well, Mikey could have just saved time and sent her to the same veterinarian who (allegedly) agreed to euthanize Terri's pet cats for expediency. Perhaps the vet would have been offering a three for the price of one special that day.

Brilliant, brilliant analogy!

I agree that most bulimics do not die. Most bulimics maintain a normal weight and are not anorexic.

But some bulimics are crossovers - ie. they also have anorexia. Karen Carpenter was one. A friend of mine who died at 23 from it was also anorexic/bulimic.

Anorexic/bulimics are more likely to die.

>> I read that he said if she ever got heavy again, he would leave her.

Read his testimony. He thought she should be a little heavier, not lighter. And he did deny under oath that she had bulimia. That is an admission contrary to his own interest, so we may take it to be true.

Speaking of which... MY GOD... how could such a 'liberated' woman agree to sharing her husband(?) with a prostitute? And then tell the world of her pathetic behavior?!

Aye... the 'liberal', female mind works in ways that are foreign to us of 'lesser' station... and gender!

Terri suffered from an eating disorder that led to dangerously low potassium levels that led to cardiac arrest.

A little exercise in re-writing history here? They say the "victors" get to write the history. But is this a truthful account?

You mean like she was assaulted on her way home from work or something? Wouldn't there have been a police report?

Did she ever claim she was assaulted? What leads you to this conclusion?

The jury awarded $1.3 million because her doctor failed to notice it, so they thought it was true.

What do you think happened?

It was NEVER proven that she suffered from bulimia. No rotting teeth, irritated esophagus or skin and hair changes. Only Michael has put this theory forward and everyone takes it as fact.

You are being ever so silly. You know nobody assaulted her on the way home from work or something. I know nobody assaulted her on the way home from work or something. It would be especially silly to file a police report about something that that you know didn't happen, so that was an even sillier question.

"Truth bother you? She was boliemic, and cause her own demise as well. Sorry to tarnish the innocent angel image.

You like to keep promoting this idea even though there is absolutely no proof.

Below is a snippet from the report to Governor Jeb Bush, from the Ad Litem, Jay Wolfzen.

"The cause of the cardiac arrest was adduced to a dramatically reduced potassium level in Theresa's body.  Sodium and potassium maintain a vital, chemical balance in the human body that helps define the electrolyte levels.  The cause of the imbalance was not clearly indentified, but may be linked, in theory, to her drinking 10-15 glasses of iced tea each day.  While no formal proof emerged, the medical records note that the combination of aggressive weight loss, diet control and excessive hydration raised questions about Theresa suffering from Bulimia, an eating disorder, more common among women that men, in which purging through vomiting, laxatives and other methods of ciet control becomes obsessive.........." Jay Wolfzen (Ad Litem )report to Governor Jeb Bush

I don't believe that anyone has ever produced one shread of evidence that Terri Schiavo had an eating disorder. Interesting how the pro-death people are allowed to fabricate un-proven theories out of thin air, aided by smoke, mirrors and the willing assistance of a like minded MSM.

Even if the Lady's condition was in fact caused by an eating disorder, it didn't kill her-she was killed by a Court ordered diet that consisted of what ever amount of air she could suck into her tortured lungs and whatever nurishment she could derive from her own saliva that she swallowed- yes swallowed!

Strange how she was able to swallow her spit,even while those who wanted her dead, argued that she could only ingest food through a feeding tube. This exposes the sinister motive behind the order that she recieve no food or water orally, issued by the same b*st*rds who ordered the removal of the feeding tube.

Teri was murdered-not with the blessings of the Judiciary, but by the Judicary. Those who cannot comprehend this fact, are more brain dead than the courts would have us believe Teri was. Which of you will be next??????????

Not nearly as often as victims of domestic violence.

Exactly. Terri's has to be the first case of fractures-due-to-[alleged]-anorexia-leading to brain damage - leading to stavation - by - law.

You know, the more I look at this, the angrier it makes me.

Terri lost her weight over a number of years by using Nutrisystem. She lost her weight in an appropriate manner over an appropriate period of time. I also cannot imagine someone who successfully lost weight moving toward bulimia to solve her weight problems after marriage when she had previously experienced success doing it safely.

I'm not sure even he put the theory forward, but he didn't dispute it.
