Qualifications can often mean diddly squat! Just saw a 44 yr old Irish client for SED with very limited food: His b/fast - a cigarette and red bull Lunch - bag of crisps and mars bar Dinner - bowl of fries and half a loaf of bread. He had trouble right from the word go as a baby and sounds like a super taster. He has 5 children, all of them whom are either fussy or have SED. Unfortunately as he and his wife travelled in from Ireland with lots of connections,they hadnt brought any food. However, I had some mango with me and the client proceeded to eat the mango without gagging or the usual breaking out into a sweat. He found the texture funny but he liked it. I am waiting to hear about development when he gets home to try steak and chips. However, he also told me that he saw the top person in Ireland on this topic and said I basically paid £275 for an hour for the professor to say I have no idea whats wrong with you!. Its rather amazing how a professor in the field can have no clue about whats going on (nor of course most GPs, or even eating disorder specialists), and yet in the same hour with me he has eaten fruit for the first time in his life. Its really not rocket science. It is again though another illustration why I long ago stopped being daunted by professors or anyone. Qualifications do not always mean you know what is really going on. Find someone who gets results rather than who sounds good but cant deliver.
