In danger of dying at a weight of just 44 pounds, she takes control and it's impressive to see what she has become...
This is the story of a tough battle against anorexia with an ending that is a pleasure to see!
Rachael Farrokh is from Orange County, CA in the United States.
At age 37, she has come a long way knowing that she had reached the dangerous weight of 44 pounds at 5'6' tall.
Suffering from anorexia, she fought the disease for 10 years, making it difficult for her to get around and even speak. But Rachel decided to take charge, and when you see where she is today, you can't help but admire her!
This brave woman has had to campaign with the US Congress, so that disorders like anorexia can finally be considered by insurance companies! She even had to run a campaign to raise the $250,000 needed for the only treatment that could be performed on her, given the critical condition of her health.
This is what she has become, after the treatment she received in Portugal!
