Why did many jews die AFTER they were liberated from the camps in holocaust?

Q. Many of them started binge eating and died of this. Why?

A. In some camps they gave the Jews the rations they had and they wolfed them down, then the Doctor who was with the soldiers, said, they have to be given the food slowly, you must take it all away from them, so that they do not die of the shock of sudden more food than they had been consuming. The intestines were not used to the large amount of food.
You cannot starve a man and then let him eat a banquet.
People who have lost over 40 percent of their body weight, have to be started out on soups. fluids, milk.
Ok: Starvation creates a condition called (Inanition ) In this state the patient should be started on fluids, dextrose, small amounts, The stomach is unable to accept large amounts of food, the organs may rupture, especially the intestines, which become thin when a person is starved. Large amounts of food can cause death. Whole studies have been done on the different treatments of the Concentration Camp Survivors.
When a patient enters a hospital having lost 40 percent of their weight, due to say an efferent loop obstruction, the doctors insert a tiny tube into the heart muscle, this tube is connected to lipids, (fluids which will nourish the body), now the doctors will calculate how many drops per minute, the patient should receive, the interns will ask why not turn the machine up to maximum output, and the Physician will remind them of the Auschwitz, Bergan Belsen studies which concluded that people who have been starved, cannot in all safety be given large amounts of food. Death can occur.

can binge eating until you feel sick increase your heart rate?
Q. i've been suffering from a bad pattern of binge eating that is most likely binge eating disorder or compulsive over eating disorder at this point. recently ive notice that whenever i binge my heart thuds when it beats, my heart rate increases, and i feel heavy limbed, sluggish and sometimes get a head ache. I am not overweight and am actually in very good shape and health except for this eating disorder. Are these typical short term responses to overeating? why are they happening?

A. Of course your heart rate increases...it's struggling to make the rest of your body work. You feel sluggish because your body isn't getting the nutrients it needs. If this continues, there will be a time when your body shuts down completely.

Get help for binging. YOu cannot continue to do this. You will only mess up your body, make yourself sick and possibly die from it.

If you were in good health, you wouldn't have an eating disorder, so please don't lie to yourself.

Please see a therapist and get treatment immediately. This isn't something you can stop on your own.

Where can a person that is blind and suffers with addiction find inpatient treatment?
Q. My father is dying of his diabetes and has a serious food addiction. To make things even harder, he is blind and I believe adds an extra obstacle for him to learn to cope with this challenge that is killing him. Anyone who knows where I can find an in-patient treatment facility that would be capable of handling binge-eating disorders or food addictions of a blind man, I'd be very interested in hearing about. PLEASE this is a very sensitive topic, only serious responses and suggestions please. Thanks

A. ANY food disorder unit can treat him. blindness has no bearing on his ability to get treatment.

remember: you can lead a horse to water you can NOT make it drink. it does NOT sound like he wants help. sounds like a death wish...

sorry gotta tell it like i see it...
