Speculations are abound about a possible eating disorder identified as ‘pica’ to associate with the bizarre creatures that were vomited by a woman in Pointe Michel on Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Shalandin Ahmeed of the Health Information Unit within the Ministry of Health said that the possibility of the eating disorder could only be determined through observation of the patient and the case.
DNO had called the woman’s mother to inquire about the possibilities of the eating disorder but she refused to speak with us.
“We can’t talk right now,” she said.
Meanwhile, Pica is an eating disorder typically defined as the persistent ingestion of non-nutritive substances for a period of at least one month at an age at which this behavior is developmentally inappropriate (e.g. 18-24 mo). This means if the woman has had this problem it would have been evident from childhood.
Attempts to reach the chief medical officer for a comment on the matter has proven futile.
Pica is one of the top 10 eating disorders, CLICK HERE
The definition of ‘pica’ is occasionally broadened to include the mouthing of non-nutritive substances. Individuals who present with pica have been reported to mouth and/or ingest a wide variety of nonfood substances, including, but not limited to, clay, dirt, sand, stones, pebbles, hair, feces, lead, laundry starch, vinyl gloves, plastic, pencil erasers, ice, fingernails, paper, paint chips, coal, chalk, wood, plaster, light bulbs, needles, string, cigarette butts, wire, and burnt matches.
According to eMedcine, an online medical journal, although pica is observed most frequently in children, it is the most common eating disorder in individuals with developmental disabilities. In some societies, pica is a culturally sanctioned practice and is not considered to be pathologic. Pica may be benign, or it may have life-threatening consequences.
Dominica News Online had spoken to several close friends and relatives of the woman who vomited about 13 insects including a crab, cockroaches, spiders, frog, fleas, and a butterfly.
They told us last night that it is believed to have all started when the woman found an “anchor-like cross” on a shelf at her work place, a popular supermarket in Roseau. The relatives said the woman dumped the object, and shortly after began feeling sick – a feeling she attributed to sickle cell which has had for many years.
It was further reported that the woman got a dream in which she was warned to return the item she discarded. She reportedly discovered the said item in her jacket and while doing laundry on Sunday.
One of her relatives took the item and threw it into the sea, and it was then she started to feel worse and the vomiting soon after started.
She was rushed to the hospital where she is still a patient. Relatives attributed the occurrence to witchcraft.
Any eating disorder can be demonic and I expect most are.
The devil attacks human beings by oppression or possession. Oppression is when a demon is on the outside weighing down and pressing in so to speak. Possession is less common. This is when a demon enters the individual and takes greater control manifesting its own character as if it was the individual’s character. Possession can cause mental or physical illnesses, vile behaviour, strange or weird things to happen like vomiting insects, other creatures or objects or impart occult powers. It can produce psychic manifestations.
Both oppression and possession can produce compulsive behavior. Either can be the cause of illusions. People are made to believe a lie imagining that they have what they do not have or they are what they are not. So we have men who think they are women or a man who thinks he is a poached egg. A woman
believes she is too thin or too fat. Thy act accordingly.
Sincerely, Donald Hill.
The story of the woman who vomited insects does not sound like a case of pica.
The pica explanation leaves too many loose ends and unanswered questions.
The role the anchor like cross plays in the story suggests a dark side. It smacks of the supernatural.
Also if the picture of the creatures she is alleged to have thrown up is genuine there is a problem. Creatures she ate or that even passed down her throat would not be in this condition. They would not be even recognizable.
The eating disorder is an excuse people who have a bias against the supernatural would put forward. Any help or true deliverance the lady will receive will not come from them.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill, International Evangelist. (Pastoral Counselor Certificate)
Medical doctors will disagree with my comments on eating disorders. But an eating disorder caused by demons is rarely cured by pills although the symptoms may be suppressed for a while.
A psychologist is likely to laugh at my teaching on demonic oppression and possession and call it archaic. But there are cases of eating disorders that do not respond to talk therapy. A psychologist should know that his own laughter at my hypothesis is a defence mechanism against something he does not understand or is afraid of.
The New Testament teaches us that a truth believer in Christ who is abiding in Him has the power to cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ by the merits of His shed blood. There are those who are called to this work. It is referred to as DELIVERANCE.
Those who ridicule this ministry should know that that the Christian church has been practicing the deliverance ministry for 2,000 years.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
THE DEVIL IS A DEFEATED LIAR, TAKE THE WOMAN TO THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD CHURCH IN DOMINICA AND YOU WILL SEE THE POWER OF GOD. THAT DEMON THAT IS INSIDE OF HER WILL LEAVE THAT IS A GUARANTEE. THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR MY GOD TO DO, YOU WILL SEE!
NAUSEATING!!!!!!!
which store in town ? wen we find out dey out of business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
KICK THEM OUT
Dats a joke ..stupezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
SCIENCE ! obeah business running de country,the plague has started,skeritt let my people go !
@lady: u need to stop judging ppl and keep ur mouth shut on matters u know nothing about….if u was honest to urself u would c that both situations are beyond normal…u need to find God and when u do u’ll b able to understand wats going on….next time keep quiet instead of writing stuff that makes d world know how dumb u really are!!!
i believe all christians in dominica need to take some time out to pray and fast for the country,somthing is wrong and is only god that can reveal it to us who are serving him ,get into u all clossets and P U S H pray until somthing happen
@jnc:
Good morning! I had a peaceful and restful night. As we pray for others God grants us peace and rest. I did pray for this lady and asked God to assist her and remove whatever evil is on her and in her presence. God is greater than any problem we have.
We tend to take whatever doctors and so-called experts say as the gospel truth. How many doctors can explain godly spiritual matters and non-spiritual ones? If the doctor witnessed what the woman spewed out from her mouth how can he state that it is an eating disorder?
There is one way to find out about her and her actions. It is from her family if she resides with them including her co-workers if she worked daily. They know her better than anyone else.
If she is an adult, I do not believe that she would do such a thing to herself unless she has a mental disorder. Then again how many adults who have mental probems would do this to themselves?
There are some people who would rather not hear the truth. Some will suppress and deny it and believe what they want to believe but the truth and what occurred to this woman.
Let us state that this situation is an unexplainable one which science cannot prove or disprove and which no one else is able to do. It is a mystery what occurred to her. There seems to be some form of witchcraft in this. The woman is the one who knows what occurred to her. Believe her. May God restore her to a normal, happy and peaceful life. Amen!
that whole story sounding like a movie i saw.. drag me to hell… she threw away the ting and it came back to her… i’m so sad for her and her loved ones
hope it’s not a hoax
now is the time to give god your life. he has protected you from the hands of the enemy. let his blood cover you.
@WEATHERMAN: I like Matt. At least we Dominicans get entertained in the morning. Great way to start a stressful day at work
@Anonymous:
If it is real, it is real; not talking about it does not make it disappear. Besides, DA is no the only country that have evil workers; the whole world does. What we need to do is pray, and stop telling people that a woman vomiting cockroaches and crabs, frogs and mosquitos is attributed to some eating disorder, PICA. PICA is a disorder, but lets face it, how can I eat clay, ash, tin, glass or wire and vomit an insect? God did not create some kind of factory in my human system to convert stuff into some other stuff. Its like the movie “Countdown to Ammageddon” but not so.
If it is real, the supermarket needs purging. If it is real the woman needs prayers, and if it is real, let us all join in as Dominicans and Pray for our country, our land and our sins. Above all accept Jesus Christ because the time is at hand.
Remember, ” If my people who are called by my name should humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, then will I hear from heaven, I will Forgive their sins and Heal their Land.”
These people mess with things they don’t understand. Anything is possible when you interact with mediums beyond the 3rd to 4th dimensional matrix. Any morphisis is possible for we are nothing but vibrational energies.
Hold on,
I am in total agreement with you. Personally, I just cannot understand this whatsoever. In other words as a child growing up at home in Dominica and likewise my friends, relation, and most probably the whole nation we ate crabs, Mountain Chicken and so forth (not whole it was cut into parts seasoned and then cooked) does that mean it can be into our system to this very day? Please someone educate me here. I am talking about thirty odd years ago.
Secondly , in a modern world like today we have phones that consists of cameras, digital camera and to date we have not got a photograph. What I saw on this article is a photograph of a frog inserted into ones mouth which could either been cut and paste or downloaded. Please is there any form of photos as I just cannot understand why all these type of insects or vermin came out of the woman system. (Someone please educate me).
I pray for her recovery and a proper analysis be carried out.

@Can’t beleive: I cant believe that some Dominicans so ignorant, that they have found a way to spin that and blame it on Haitians. Why do you hate the Haitians so much?

Prodigious Vomiting
Our country is in crisis and many seem at their wits end. Often I believe we are now afflicted by a collective despair, despondency and distraction. It is in that context we need to heighten study, reflection, wisdom and wise, committed and organized effort. Wise treatment of issues can relieve us of much of that which afflicts
Note, we must deal with such issues calmly, with wisdom and strength. Has the young lady been examined for a mental illness? There is a history also of the mentally ill ingesting objects. Prayer is also something one should start the day with; it is our balm. Again, let us deal with this with our God given intelligence and not turn on each other or deepen our despair.
Here is an article I found.
March 1, 1999
Prodigious Vomiting
– FORTEAN TIMES Issue 119 (Bristol, UK) 20 January 1999
At one time or another we’ve all been asked “do you have a frog in your throat?” but none of us actually think that one is there. however, medical history is full of stories of people who believed that they had frogs or even lizards and snakes living and growing in their stomachs. indeed, as far back as ancient Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, there are mentions of a”colic-snake” as a cause of painful stomach
cramps. Jan Bonderson investigates.
In 6th century Germany, a young lad with a snake in his stomach (known as “bosom serpent”) was taken to a holy woman could feel it moving in his intestines. She fastened a small cross to a wine-leaf which was tied to the boy’s stomach and this magic formula had the desired effect: in a volcanic opening of his bowel, the snake was expelled like a projectile.
Many of the collections of curious and abnormal medical cases from the 16th and 17th centuries contain stories of snakes, frogs, toads and newts living in the human stomach. Conradus Gesner reported a strange epidemic that killed more than 3,000 people in the city of Theis where many snakes and newts left the dead bodies and two snakes were found in the stomach of a recently dead young woman. Another sad instance of the post mortem diagnosis of a snake in the stomach was reported in the old Ephemerides. A shoemaker had committed suicide by stabbing himself to death, after having been tortured by intractable stomach pains for more than 10 years. After burial, his coffin was dug up for his wife to have a last look at him: she was horrified to see that a snake the length of a man’s arm was lying beside the corpse; the serpent having exited the body through the stab wound.
According to his Des Monstres et Prodigies, Ambroise Par also encountered the bosom serpent. In 1561 he met a Paris woman of doubtful reputation who had caused a great uproar in Paris by claiming that she had a snake in her stomach, which had crawled into her while she slept in a hempfield. Many Parisians came to see her and feel the snake’s motions in her stomach for themselves. Par
threatened that she would be given an extremely powerful laxative,
whereupon she admitted that the story was pure invention. Six days later,
she was to be seen standing near the Montmartre Gate, inviting men to
come and feel her snake in the stomach.
The most famous of all the cases was that of Catharina Geisslerin, who was widely known as “the toad-vomiting woman of Altenburg”. In 1642, she took the first step towards notoriety by vomiting several toads and lizards. After two years, the appearance on the scene of Dr Thomas Rheinesius, the physician-in-ordinance to the Elector of Saxonia, brought an abrupt cessation of the spectacular toad-vomiting, but, although he experimented with various emetics and purgatives for several months, he was unable to chivvy the animals out from their lair. In May 1648, when the medical men left her, Catharina Geisslerin again started vomiting
amphibians, 13 toads and a lot of spawn being produced in a couple of weeks.
The Toad-vomiting Woman suffered from her unruly lodgers in the stomach for 14 more years, surviving all her medical attendants except Rheinesius, who visited her as late as 1661, being greatly astonished that she was still alive. After her death at the Altenburg hospital in 1662, the medical men were naturally eager to perform an autopsy, expecting to find an interesting vivarium of toads, lizards and salamanders within her body. To their disappointment and astonishment, not a single animal was found.
In 1694, the 12-year-old son of pastor Zacharias Ddlerein, of the village Berolzheim in southern Germany, was taken severely ill. After several apoplectic fits and attacks of abdominal cramps, he vomited numerous insects followed by 21 newts, four frogs and some toads. The clerics diagnosed possession by the Devil; what particularly impressed them was that when the suffering boy was led to take some fresh air near a pond with croaking frogs, his stomach-frogs croaked loudly in reply.
The medical men were dismissed from the case and the treatment of young Theodorous was taken over by the exorcists. Their prayers, incantations and maledictions were initially of no avail; instead, the boy began vomiting even stranger objects: white and red eggshells, two knife blades, one link from a large chain, two long nails and a lot of small tacks.. Once, the clergymen thought they saw a large snake thrust its head out through the boy’s mouth, but when the muscular Christians rushed forth, eager to “pull the Devil out and thrash the life out of him”, it
hastily withdrew.
In the meantime, one of the physicians had dissected one of the vomited “frogs from Hell”. It had several half-digested insects in its stomach, indicating that the frog had been alive outside the boy’s body shortly before it was ‘vomited’; the boy’s attendants countered that the frogs were supernatural and did not obey the ordinary laws of physiology. The clergymen experimented by pouring horses’ urine, a time-honoured cure for animals in the stomach, on the remaining live frogs. They promptly died and it was unanimously decided to try this strong ‘medicine’ on poor
Theodorus, who was forced to swallow several large bottles of urine. Under the influence of solemn prayers and incantations of exorcism, this worked miracles and Theodorus stopped vomiting frogs and other strange objects.
During his journey to Lapland in 1732, Carl Linnaeus was consulted in the case of a woman with three live frogs in her stomach, which could clearly be heard croaking, particularly in the springtime. Linnaeus advised her to use liquid tar as a medicine to expel the animals but she preferred taking large doses of strong aquavit, which at least kept the animals happy and quiet. In his medical conclusions to the Iter Lipponicum, Linnaeus stated as a fact that frog spawn adhered to the membranes of the stomach, which hereafter “formed the nest, or rather the pond, for these dreadful animals, which tear and torture the poor patient”.
In the late 18th century, the majority of leading biologists, including Linnaeus, Buffon and Blumenbach, were in favour of the concept that snakes and frogs could live as parasites in the human gastrointestinal tract. In 1780, Sir Joseph Banks received a letter from the Reverend Samuel Glasse, describing how a certain Thomas Walker, after being given an emetic, had vomited a 2.5in (6.3cm) long live toad which crawled on the floor.
In 1834 Henriette Pfennig who claimed to have vomited two live frogs after being troubled by stomach cramps and quacking noises from the midriff for more than a year. During the following weeks, she vomited nine more frogs before an admiring crowd of spectators, several of whom had travelled for miles to see this celebrity. Her doctor dissected one of the frogs and was greatly astonished to find several half-digested insects and an almost intact beetle in its stomach. The woman was forced to admit the hoax: after her neighbours had doubted that she really had
frogs in her stomach, she had hidden the animals in the inside pockets of her skirt. In order to gain sympathy and public attention, she pretended to cough them up, with enough skill to trick everybody present, including the medical men.
The defenders of the bosom serpent soon rallied round a new case report, which was considered the most authenticated ever. The Russian court physician Martin Wilhelm Mandt had been consulted by a peasant who was certain that a snake had slithered through his mouth when he was sleeping out in the open. He had awoken with a jerk, feeling that something cold moved round in his stomach and indeed movements could be felt in the epigastric area and a gargling sound was heard with the stethoscope. After four days, Dr Mandt administered a strong purgative whereupon the man felt better and the movement in his stomach ceased. He went home to recuperate but returned triumphantly two days later, carrying a
chamberpot containing the body of a 12in (30.5cm) adder.
Dr Mandt’s case was widely published across Europe in translation and even went the rounds of the newspapers. Since it was illustrated with a figure of the snake, his article did much to re-establish the old fallacy. Dr Mandt noted that the reptile’s backbone was broken at several sites and he believed that this had been caused by the powerful contractions of the bowel. This is unlikely: the broken back would
rather hint that the snake had been killed purposely. Furthermore, the snake’s body would certainly have been more extensively digested if it had passed through the entire gastrintestinal system of a man.
In 1859 Professor Arnold Adolph Berthold, of Gttingen, published a monograph aimed at solving the burning question of the existence of living amphibians as parasites in the human stomach. He had noted that almost every German pathological museum of repute contained some snake, frog or newt which had allegedly been vomited by some patient after living for years within the human body. He obtained permission to dissect several of these specimens; they all had partially digested insects in their stomachs, which strongly suggested that they had been deliberately swallowed shortly before being vomited. These findings inspired a number of experiments whose results showed that none of these animals could survive in 29 degree Centigrade water and that frog spawn putrefied at this temperature.
yea right, haitians are very dangerous people, am warning all dominicans,becareful, with these people they believe in voodoism and they scacrifice animals all the time, becareful all dominican women leave hatian men alone.
haitian voodoo working in dominica, now hatians are there i sorry for our beautiful dominica.

SATAN BELIEVE IN GOD ,BECAUSE HE WANTS MAN TO WORSHIP HIM AND NOT GOD SO HE KNOW GOD EXSIST ,ALSO HE CANNOT PROCREATE. JESUS REMOVED DEMONIC SPIRITS FROM PEOPLE. DOCTORS WILL GIVE ALL SORTS OF EXPLANATION FOR WHAT THEY CAN’T UNDERSTAND. I DO BELIEVE THE WOMAN WAS DEMONIC POSSES AND IT IS HIGH TIME WE AS DOMINICANS EXPOSE THE WRONG IN OUR NATION. THERE IS REAL EVIL ON THIS LAND AND TRUE PREACHERS NEED TO PRAY FOR THE NATION AS WELL WE NEED TO PRAY FOR OURSELVES AND NATION OR ELSE WE WILL END UP LIKE HAITI.

@WEATHERMAN:
He is bringing the story as it happens …..unbiased and real…That’s the whole point of keeping listeners informed, it’s part of the investigating process if u ask me…as far as I see, you are the negative one….give Matt a break…if he didnt talk about it… then you would have said something else … Take a deep breathe…. appreaciate, don’t hate.
that doc does saying what they want to cover up things…to much things going down in this place and every thing is cover up……..
@hope: Satan the pica disease may be at work here, but PICA disease is real among the young and some pregnant adults,but swallowing frogs crabs butterfles etc as a normal adult adult is unbelieveable were these meals swallowed whole and alive and expressed in the same way, how long have they existed internally and what is the conditionof the internal organs mouth to stomach, If this is a true story she needs some serious help, and if this is satan’s doing Dom we need to put on the whole armour of prayer and do some serious work for our community.
all u dominicans do evil as much as the haitians:
@PICA: i guess u should watch ur diet and so should the lady
YEAH RIGHT!!! PICA.!!! go on Doc with your smart self….DOMINICANS, if all you believe it’s Pica, I have a bridge down there I can sell for all you inno.
@F*****G Fed UP:

This isn’t coincidental!!!!
MATT PELTIER AS A PROFESSED JOURNALISTYOU SHOULD THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE A STORY BEFORE GIVING AIR TIME TO THAT REDICULOUS STORY.

get us some pictures so we can see
What kind of doctor is that to come up with such a conclusion that the woman might be suffering from pica? If she swallowed toy frogs, cockroaches etc, it’s going to come out with her feaces. She did not eat those insects , and even if she did they would have digested in her along with other foods. She is vomiting VOODOO. Some people’s hands are too dirty in this country.
if the doctor say it is an eating disoder why should so many dominican say it is evil are they
experts on the evil subject?come on dominicans remember the of power of the tongue.
Frogs, crabs, butterflies, fleas, spiders, etc. flowing from the womans inside whole? and that is considered pathologic by Drs? Unless she has a zoo inside of her. That is ostensibly soukouya- business nothing more, nothing less. Hmmmmmmmm
‘including, but not limited to, clay, dirt, sand, stones, pebbles, hair, feces, lead, laundry starch, vinyl gloves, plastic, pencil erasers, ice, fingernails, paper, paint chips, coal, chalk, wood, plaster, light bulbs, needles, string, cigarette butts, wire, and burnt matches.’ ok Dr…wats ur face….eating these things as a child can cause one to vomit animals like ‘toolooloo’s, butterflies, flies,…..? SERIOUSLY? choops!
Since the hatians come to our country Dominica. Negative things been happenin in our country. No hatian was not in our country, there was no six people die in our country , no people was vomiting insects and no shooting every week since the hatian came things we never herd or see been happenin. Let’s get them out

ah kah feh domnichen nah
here is the definition of PICA; so don’t believe DNO
Definition
Pica is a pattern of eating non-food materials (such as dirt or paper).
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Pica is seen more in young children than adults. Between 10 and 32% of children ages 1 – 6 have these behaviors.
Pica can occur during pregnancy. In some cases, a lack of certain nutrients, such as iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency, may trigger the unusual cravings. Pica may also occur in adults who crave a certain texture in their mouth.
Symptoms
Children and adults with pica may eat:
Animal feces
Clay
Dirt
Hairballs
Ice
Paint
Sand

ok say the lady doh have PICA but Sarah has PPD.lol Jean Domnique all you too one sided tan, mind y’all doh fall on allyou backside, that leaning on one side cant be healthy.
Why don’t you take your mother back to school?
Hey and besides, I’ve never heard of pica suffers eating animal??..I heard she puked frogs and flies…who eats frogs and flies?………….PICA suffers mostly eat, chalk dirt, coins…. object??….not animals….doctor w/e is his name, is really smart, and the people to believe this is even smarter..
Pica?? OR is it something else…hmph
So what next?? ??? crime on the rise murders ,murders, Murders woman vomiting animals, wake
up christians!!!!!! the state of the church is the state of the nation.
can food or animal reach your stomach and comeback out as it went in. the acids in you belly will atleas take off the skin on the frog for sure only if as she swallowed they came back out one time. pica my foot. my friend has pica this is not it!!!!!!!
The devil’s greatest advantage is to convince men that he does not exist. If this is pica then so be it … but a person like me know that medical personal are sometimes too proud to say ‘we just don’t know” so they concoct these logical explanations often to fool the masses. well whether you believe there is a devil or not, does not make null the fact that he is real. pica…………well lets wait and see. with the track record of these medical folks i would not stake my reputation on anything they have to say. And on my word i refuse to apologize for this.
Ok so I am really confused here. If she “eat” the insects etc WHY ARE THEY IN WHOLE??? so she swallowed them whole then? or did she vomit and then crabs, butterflies, bugs etc were attracted to the vomit and died in it? Or was she involved in some voodoo ritual where she was made to swallow these creatures?This is some wierd stuff man. It will be interesting to know the truth behind this event. DNO keep us posted.
this is straight up obeah, The blood of Jesus I plea!!!!
@…: so a sane person can believe it’s a jombee?
IT SEEMS THIS HEALTH MINISTER TOOK A FALL AND BUMPED HIS DAMN HEAD.. i hope when it occurs to one of your family members (Lord forbid) you’ll diagnose it as pica and not run guada,haiti or go by garday zafe. ALL you d.a health people too damn en ba
so i guess the lady swallowing frogs & crabs whole & even butterflies,,,, lol well i guess thats the new sushi..all of a sudden she got an urged for raw food.. a lady that maybe never eaten that in her entire life lol c’mon doc
@ doc_ J it’s too late my brother, they are already here nd trust me our lovely dominica is doomed my brother, no more isle of beauty…
Get out!!!!
Lol, I have to laugh. What an excuse from this health official, PICA uh?
@Well Done: no sane person can believe this is pica.
oh my goodness dominica need serious prayers omg..its getting terrible..dominica need a revival.
DNO…Im confused as to why you guys are adding to the speculation.
I suffer from this. But I have never heard about anyone eating animals. Chalk, white stones, dirt, but animals no. And this is a real disease it is no joke.
There is something more to this one trust me. PICA I doubt it.
those damn doctors and scientist always have an excuse for supernatural things. they dont believe in God or the devil so they have 2 look for another way to give an answer.
this sounds makes more sense, we are always so quick to jump to the conclusion that everything in dominica is brought about by evil
What are you all trying to say that this woman is suffering from PICA lol lol. News to you all satanl is there on earth read Revalation 12. Last week wednesday was the day to remmember Saint Miche
Thats not the first time am hearing about that anchore pendent am looking for it and finding out its in Dominica. she did vomit these things and she is not suffering from PICA. i will send a few pics of that pendent for DNO. For now i cannot say much one thing i now they should not have thrown it into the sea Bad Bad.
Pica.. oh please!
Alas, there is also something called confirmation bias as well. It appears that Dominica is now getting its turn for health disorders experience. I guess this is the beginning of explanations to come. People will seek all sort of scientific explanations for behaviors of things we do fail to comprehend. I just love it.
Yeah right? Don’t allow the devil to put doubt in our minds. He realised that pple know it’s an evil force and we will pray against him. So he is allowing pple to believe otherwise so we will be complacent and let our guards down. People this is no disorder ITS EVIL. Get down on our knees and pray to the heavenly father to cleanse our land.
………………….. uhhm i dunno what to say…………..
Pica? Science always comes up with something. Oh well…Whatever. Hope the lady is ok!!!
PICA………………..Yeah right, total B.S
Alas sorry to hear that
I must say she is very lucky to have had such a variety of insects to feast on.
INTERESTING!!!
For once we are able to make sense out of crap before it gets out of hand. There is always a logical explanation for everything. Dominicans are always quick to sat ” is evil they do me”.
I would so love to believe it is this supposed ‘pica’……..but according to the article she is way too old to be suffering from that besides wouldn’t they have noticed this odd behaviour long time ago? So many questions………too much going on.
It can’t be pica because these animals are nutritive, well at least based on the definition given above. And please spiders n frogs r not insects so make the necessary corrections to the articles.
what foolishness i am hearing here , yes there is this form of disorder but are you trying to put a show oever the eyes of the people to say that we are not dealing with evil here , so the woman ate a whole crab ? and a whole butterfluy no chewing at all .Foolishness this is why i am leaving this country people are to ignorant to the real facts in this place everything that is wrong rejoice about it .
yeh right, thats some voodoo madness in dominica. too many hatians in the place. send dem back to their country!!!
Hmmmm interested
Well… welll welll… I must say Mr DNO good coverage…..stuck to facts no innuendos. Good job!
After reading this story believe it is witchcraft.
does dat explain the reason for vomitting insects????
and why did she vomit them in whole????????
thats a very disturbing topic……….i cannot understand why she omited animals
i not drinking dat
