Glenn Beck reveals serious illnesses
By LUCY MCCALMONT 11/11/14 6:19 AM EST

Conservative media host Glenn Beck disclosed he has been suffering from a serious illness that he says “quite honestly, has made me look crazy.”

“About five years ago … I had begun to have a string of health issues, that quite honestly, has made me look crazy and, quite honestly, I had felt crazy because of them,” Beck told viewers on Monday evening on “The Blaze.”

Beck cited health issues such as “vocal cord paralysis” and “strange eyesight problems” that he said he thought initially was “just simply a very painful form of neuropathy.”

“We didn’t know at the time what was causing me to feel as though, out of nowhere, my hands, or feet or arms and legs would feel as if someone had just crushed them, or set them on fire, or pushed broken glass into my feet. I can’t tell you how many nights my wife would sit in the light looking at the bottom of my feet to make sure there really wasn’t any glass in them,” Beck said.

The host said he had not wanted to reveal his health struggles until now due to “personal reasons, business reasons and you name it.

1. Take the word 'look' out of there and he might be closer...eom

[DrDan]

2. "stupid" is not typically considered a serious illness . . .

[hobbit709]

3. Look????

[Douglas Carpenter]

4. does this strange neurological illness make him think crazy thoughts and say crazy things too?

[peace13]

5. Amazing what the brain will do to stop the body from talking.

Glen do you think the vocal cord issue was your inner soul trying to stop you from spreading hate and intolerance. The mind and body are beautifully connected. Disease = dis ease in the body. Heal up Glen and then we'll talk.

6. So, this illness also manifests itself by making the host

hang stuffed animals from the ceiling and writing incoherently on chalkboards? How about blubbering online for a 1/2 hour about his hemorrhoid surgery. No one's going to buy it Glenn. You are in fact a blithering idiot.

[WinkyDink]

7. He still omits an explicit diagnosis.

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Well, kinda sorts...

In his usual vague way, he tells us
Beck eventually went to the Carrick Brain Centers in Irving, Texas, where “they do crazy stuff,” Beck said, adding that the center found he was suffering from an auto-immune disorder and adrenal fatigue, among other problems.

“After months of treatment and completely changing the way I eat, sleep, work and live along with ongoing hormonal treatment and intensive physical therapy, I have reversed the process,” Beck said.

So the timeline for his recovery is a bit vague as is where he found the time to do all that physical therapy and still look the same.

I suspect maybe his ratings are lowering and he needed some publicity?

Problem with Beck is, even if every single word about this is true, no one not plugged into his show can ever believe him.

8. The body can only contain for so long all of that inner soul ugliness before speaking out! n/t

[C_U_L8R]

9. He's apparently been exposed to a very toxic substance

Himself.

[Myrina]

10. Shameless self-promotion and nonstop bullshit paranoia spewing ....

.... sounds like symptoms of extreme sociopathic narcissism.

Mr. Beck should be committed for his own - and others' - safety.
For a long time.
A VERY long time.
Oh, and insurance isn't going to cover that.

[UTUSN]

11. So *THAT* explains it!1 More serious than hemmoroid visit to the E.R.?!1 n/t

[JaneyVee]

13. Constant hate takes a toll on your physical and mental.

[Shrike47]

14. He's just a victim, so don't blame him. A victim!

16. Wonder if those eyesight problems are from him putting stuff in his eyes to make himself cry?

There is video somewhere of him doing that in one of his crying fests.

[AnnieBW]

17. He probably thought that Obama had ordered him to be poisoned

What's scary is that he was at the height of his popularity 5 years ago. So, what explains all of his followers?

[Thor_MN]

19. I'd say he needs a strong laxitive, he's had bullshit running out his mouth for years...

"But I'm just saying."
