I generally avoid commenting on articles or the internet in general but as someone who has suffered from this condition themselves, I feel obligated to point out something that seems to be missed by the response. Despite the mother's intentions or interventions, there are a few warning signs that the daughter may have a very unhealthy relationship with food, bordering on addiction. Of course it's easy being an arm chair therapist - I am not qualified to make this distinction. I really hope the Mother takes the daughter to someone who is.

Everyone claiming that these things aren't expensive must be coming from a place of privilege that I am not familiar with. (and this is coming from someone who sees a chiropractor, eats fresh, etc)

Supplements can be VERY expensive - especially if you are fighting a specific disease, like this woman is. Is Natural health care expensive, too? Of course. But it's disingenuous to completely dismiss the cost and burden of natural health care and supplements. Remember, this lady in question had means and access.

There's no real solution to the problem, but for a lot of people a solution like this simply isn't viable. It's time to leave the judgment at home and learn to use the heart and instead.
