    Steven Levenkron clearly made the better, more convincing points in this debate with the medical doctor who was or is associated with the pharmaceutical industry on the subject of the too-easy availability of Ipecec Syrup in pharmacies and supermarkets because anoretic/bulimics abuse it.

    It would fascinating to know what Dr. Levenkron knows about Karen, and what caused her incredible insecurities and low self-esteem. I’m sure he’s been paid to say nothing.

      Paid to say nothing? Are you serious? If he was her doctor then of course he isn't allowed to spill her personal life to all of us. It's not yours, mine or anyone elses business. Doctor/patient confidentiality exists for a reason. I find it unhinged you're upset her doctor wont gossip and spill her life story for profit and our entertainment. To resort to brain dead conspiracies, like he got paid to keep quiet, is actual brain rot. When he was simply doing his job. She deserves that privacy, even in death. Yikes.

      Let’s not call Mr. Levenkron a DOCTOR

    I saw this dr years ago. He doesn’t know how to speak to people dealing with this type of issue.

      Really? Regardless of your feelings today, how fortunate you are to have seen him! His fees must have been ENORMOUS and I doubt he took insurance. He's been recognized worldwide as a thought pioneer in eating disorders and treating people with eating disorders since 1970. Common sense says his books alone saved countless lives. If he didn't have a talent for curing people, how could he possibly be so acclaimed? Therapists don't "cure" people - YOU cure yourself or you don't. They teach, guide, and support you to make those changes - they can't do it for you. Whether bipolar, an eating disorder, or Schizphrena - a therapist can only educate you about your disease, and guide you until you finally accept your disease and start treating yourself. Besides, if you saw the guy "years ago" and you're not dead - he must have had some impact. You were treated by the preeminent expert in that field, the #1 therapist in the WORLD for ED, a privilege only available to wealthy people, and apparently - you STILL don't appreciate that opportunity? Sheesh, don't you sound hard to please. Good therapists are tough, they don't placate. Sounds like a life spent pointing blame away from oneself.
