3:19Now PlayingA former actress and body double, Suzy, claims she developed a “mysterious illness” a decade ago that leaves her shaking, trembling, convulsing, and having to consume more than 7,000 calories a day. Suzy says she’s been to over 20 doctors trying to figure out what’s wrong with her, but hasn’t found the answers she’s looking for.

“Suzy blew through traditional doctors and none of them could diagnose this ‘mystery illness’,” says Maxine, Suzy’s friend of nearly 19 years. “I was genuinely shocked to find out she was using psychic doctors. These psychic doctors would tell her exactly what she wants to hear.”

“What Suzy wants more than anything is validation that she is ill,” continues Maxine, noting that her friend confided in her years ago about a previous struggle with bulimia.
In the video above, Maxine says she believes her previous eating disorder, along with unresolved emotional trauma from Suzy’s past, could be contributing to her current physical symptoms. Tune in to Thursday’s Dr. Phil to find out what Suzy says she endured while growing up.
