Last weeks’ symposia in Sydney and Melbourne, with Ann Tonner reading from her prize-winning book, Cold Vein, on the restoration of her daughter’s health, received extensive coverage in Australian media. (1).

Mandometer has restored the health of an increasing number of Australian patients but a recent paper reported that a mere 28.3% of those treated for anorexia with treatments available in Australia were free of symptoms (2).

Australians are therefore searching for treatments with better outcomes and the symposia opened for several collaborations. This is encouraging, Mandometer is eager to help as many patients as possible!
