That's just for starters, Glenny.
Edit for P.S.: I got my hopes up and then read that it could be up to 10 years before he's fully out of commission. Dang.

(52 posts)and diagnose Mr. Glenn Beck with brain digestion syndrome and close the case. It's fatal and incurable. It apparently ate itself.

(38,613 posts)Well that explains a lot.
Assuming, of course, that this isn't just his latest "look at me" stunt. Maybe he's putting vape-o-rub on his brain now

(14,531 posts)is that there is nothing wrong with him. In about 9 years he will have a huge gala where he declares peoples prayers and donations cured him. Please pray some more, and oh, yeah those donations. Don't forget to send more money.

I wonder if that is why he is such a nutjob.

nolabear
(41,963 posts)he's always been so hysterical, his background is godawful (and I feel for him for that) and a somatic hysteria (can't find a physical reason for sx) wouldn't be out of the question.
As I said, just musing. I wouldn't wish pain on anyone but like a lot of y'all I can't help feeling a little schadenfreude.

(23,987 posts)This is not news. It has been obvious for quite some time, after only a few minutes of observation. And no advanced clinical expertise needed.
IggleDoer
(1,186 posts)They named the Clinic , which is in Irving Texas. Has one Neurologist (probably as a frontman and three Chiropractors. The Atlanta branch has four Chiropractors.
Note that there is no diagnosis but he feels better and is on the right track.
Could his brain just be fried from all the drugs he took while a shock jock in the 90's in Phoenix?
Seems like his docs are feeding the BS the Beck has been feeding his minions.

(2,061 posts)I would never wish ill health on anyone but I'm a firm believer in that if you carry around a lot of hate/anger, it's a poison that destroys you from within. I've tried to listen to the guy to figure out his schtick but I can't handle him and the fact that he has followers is scary in and of itself. At least Rush makes a cogent argument even while I completely disagree with him but Beck and Savage are both head cases that for the life of me I can't figure out how they got on the air. Maybe before their bile ate their brains they might have made sense but sheesh, I'd rather chew tinfoil than listen to those guys.
Nevertheless, I do hope he gets better.
