Niemann-Pick is a rare, inherited disease that affects the body's ability to metabolize fat (cholesterol and lipids) within cells.
These recommendations are based on two extensive reviews of the literature and our extensive experience as practitioners in the treatment of pica. We make recommendations for assessment, treatment, and prevention of pica for practitioners. These can be as varied as paint, soil or clay, laundry starch, ice, feces, chalk, glue.

Pica is an eating disorder in which people eat non-food items. While a number of published studies have demonstrated that pica behavior can be decreased substantially with behavioral treatment, few of these studies incorporated strategies for generalization and maintenance outside of brief sessions. Pica may be caused by behavior disorders such as. Studies also indicate that pica has led to the death of people with developmental disabilities.
