At five-foot-seven, she weighs a mere ’40-something pounds’ and is close to death.
Now, Rachael Farrokh, from Southern California, is begging the public to help save her life.
The 37-year-old actress, who has been battling anorexia nervosa for more than 10 years, has released a video on YouTube describing her fight against the life-threatening eating disorder.
In the footage, she explains how her condition has severely declined in recent months, leaving her emaciated, breathless and too weak to move around on her own at her San Clemente home.
She also reveals how her husband, Ron Edmondson, has had to quit his job to become her 24-hour caregiver, while area hospitals won’t treat her because her ‘dangerous’ weight makes her a ‘liability’.
Here is what she looked like before she got attacked by the disease.
