Howard Hughes Emaciation
Posted on 3/2/2009 at 12:19 PM - Post Comment
Usually you hear about malnutrition and extreme weight loss or skinniness in third world countries where a significant amount of the population are undernourished or malnourished. But it seems that we are finding ways besides safe diet pills or diet pills at all to give ourselves the same results without actually being in a starving or third world country. Our diet pills try to popularize and replicate those kinds of effects, and sadly people actually believe the hype. But that aside, there was one Howard Hughes who was extremely popular and innovative, partly because he suffered from extreme obsessive compulsive disorder that they didn’t recognize at the time. They just thought he was going crazy and becoming a recluse out of some kind of insanity. But when he died, they tried to hide it by using a different name in the hospital and claiming he had died from natural causes. But at a grand total of 93 lbs when he came in, that is far from normal! We are told that in his last years, he actually didn’t use any diet pills, let alone safe diet pills to get to this. He sat in a theater watching movie reels for months at a time, seeing no one, talking to no one really, often naked, consisting of a diet purely of milk and chocolate bars. If that doesn’t cause extreme malnutrition and emaciation, I don’t know what would. It’s definitely not a natural way to die. But then again, with OCD and an eccentric personality to boot, what could you really expect but extreme success and also extreme measures that caused his ultimate demise. Mostly, I think it’s sad how they thought of now considered relatively well understood mental disorders at that time. Shock therapy and such were common, and really without understanding what’s going on, it would be easy to just think you were crazy.
