I am wondering what can i do for my friend with an eating disorder?

Not easy, but: Make it clear that you really care and are concerned. Share that from what you understand, it can become a dangerous medical problem - that it is hard to turn it around without help but that with help it is almost always corrected. If there is a resource in your area that offers group work - like the 12-step thing - you might volunteer to go too. Be as patient as you can unless danger is an issue.
