The National Eating Disorders Association today
responded to reports that the potassium deficiency which triggered Terri
Schiavo 's cardiac arrest and resulted in her present condition was the
result of an eating disorder."

The National Eating Disorders Association estimates that nearly 10 million
women and one million men are affected by anorexia nervosa or bulimia
nervosa, and another 25 million suffer from binge eating disorder. Eating Disorders, although serious, are not lifestyle
choices, and are treatable ."

Grefe continues: "If a silver lining can be found in the tragedy of
Schiavo's case, it is that her situation brought to light the serious
ramifications of an eating disorder, and that she is not an isolated case.

"Eating disorders can be silent killers that too often go unnoticed ," said
Lynn Grefe, chief executive officer of NEDA. While
members of Congress scrambled this past week to intervene in the tragic
case of Terri Schiavo, millions have asked why Congress and state
legislatures have ignored individuals with eating disorders, long before
their health is as seriously compromised as Schiavo's.

PRESS RELEASE Tragic Schiavo Condition Reportedly Brought on by Deadly Eating Disorder; National Eating Disorders Association Sheds Crucial Light on Silent Kil

Grefe continues, "Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any
mental illness, yet eating disorders are barely covered by medical
insurance.
In light of the Terri Schiavo case, the
National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) urges Congress and state
legislatures to move forward on approving legislation that requires
insurance policies to cover the treatment of eating disorders. Millions of people
suffer from eating disorders and because of the lack of insurance coverage,
many families become devastated by taking out second mortgages, depleting
their retirement accounts or life savings in an attempt to get treatment to
save the life of their loved one.
