5. Color me very skeptical.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]He may have or have had something wrong, but I doubt it's some rare combination of rare diagnoses, and I strongly doubt that no doctors have been able to give him a firm diagnosis. I think he's playing his fan base.

Think I'll wait for legitimate medical confirmation before I believe any of it. Notice how every published story refers back to his self-claimed, self-presented, melodramatic performance on The Blaze?

He's already undergoing a "miracle cure" of sorts, "reversing" the disease process of "several things" and "coming back in a big way." All these doctors and therapists he claims? I want to hear it from them before I believe any of it.

His ratings have been in the toilet. This is just an attention grab because the psychopathic charlatan feels the need to be in the headlines again.

If I'm convincingly demonstrated to be wrong, I'll apologize. Not holding my breath.
