Glenn Beck TV thread July 19th 2010

Welcome to the GLENN BECK television thread...Stand. Never give up. Never give in. We are another day closer to the 2010 elections. All Beckerheads, infidels, sick twisted freaks, ilks and lurkers are welcome and are encouraged to participate in the thread.

Augustus Caesar. He took all power away from the Roman Senate and ruled as a god. Glenn made the comparison to 0bama after demonstrating that he had usurped the Senate’s power.

[jackv]

Thanks TigersEye!! Great Show today!

[TigersEye]

It was a great show. Glenn is on fire lately.

[Bigg Red]

Not holding your breath waiting for that one, I trust.

[cripplecreek]

LOL

ANSWER is too busy harrassing Israel these days.

[camerongood210]

I’m a little past that point. So far, the whole thing is very reminiscent of a Glenn Beck episode.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I finished the book last week. Overall, I liked it. According to Beck, the book itself is an exercise is using the Overton Window to influence the public.

[llandres]

please add me to your prayer list.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I have a dear friend with Maculuar Degeneration, she is older, but it is very sad as she loved to read, do crossword puzzles, etc... one side thing is light really bothers her so she pretty much keeps her house dark to cope with the issues light causes for her... in addition to reading, etc., she loved to garden.. hard to do now with our bright light here in Arizona.

[cripplecreek]

Sure thing.

[cripplecreek]

My great grandmother had cataracts but the advances they’ve made in correcting that are amazing even since the mid 90s when she passed away.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Any kind of macular degeneration is irreversible. Let’s pray that he pulls this one out.

[cripplecreek]

True. Cataracts is a physical cloudieness developing over the cornea. My dad got new corneas a couple of years ago and says he sees better than he has in 30 years.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I’m happy for your dad. Lets hope Glenn is granted a reprieve here.

[Yosemitest]

Not necessarily true.

Abstract
This review is focused on iron metabolism
in the retina and in the lens
and its relation to their respective age-related pathologies, macular degeneration (AMD) and cataract (ARC).
Several aspects of iron homeostasis are considered
first in the retina and second in the lens,
paying particular attention to
the transport of iron through the blood-retinal barrier and through the lens epithelial cell barrier,
to the immunochemistry of iron-related proteins and their expression in both the retina and the lens,
and to the nature of the photochemical damage caused by UV light on both tissues.
A comparative overview of some iron related parameters
(total iron, transferrin (Tf), transferrin saturation and total iron binding capacity),
in plasma and ocular tissues and fluids of three animal species is also presented.
Based on results selected from the literature reviewed, and our own results,
a scheme for the overall circulation of iron within and out of the eye is proposed,
in which,
(i) iron is pumped from the retina to the vitreous body by a ferroportin/ferroxidase-mediated process at the endfeet of Müller cells,
(ii) vitreal Tf binds this iron and the complex diffuses towards the lens,
(iii) the iron/Tf complex is incorporated into the lens extracellular space probably at the lens equator and moves to the epithelial-fiber interface,
(iv) upon interaction with Tf receptors of the apical pole of lens epithelial cells,
the iron/Tf complex is endocytosed
and iron is exported as Fe(3+) by a ferroportin/ferroxidase-mediated process taking place at the basal pole of the epithelial cells,
and (v) Fe(3+) is bound to aqueous humor Tf and drained with the aqueous humor into systemic blood circulation for recycling.
The proposed scheme represents an example of close cooperation between the retina and the lens
to maintain a constant flow of iron within the eye
that provides an adequate supply of iron to ocular tissues
and secures the systemic recycling of this element.
It does not discount the existence of additional ways for iron to leave the eye through the blood-retinal barrier.
In this review
both AMD and ARC are recognized as multifactorial diseases
with an important photoxidative component,
and exhibiting a remarkable similitude of altered local iron metabolism.
The epidemiological relationship between ARC and ferropenic anemia is explained
on the basis that hepcidin,
the hormone responsible for the anemia of chronic inflammation,
could paradoxically cause intracellular iron overload in the lens
by interfering with the proposed ferroportin/ferroxidase-mediated export of iron
at the basal side of the anterior lens epithelium.
Other authors have suggested
that a similar situation is created in the retina in the case of AMD.

My brother suffered from a similar eye problem about 5 years ago.
His girlfriend did allot of research, starting with www.macular-dystrophy.com, and had my brother start taking

Iron supplements, lutein supplements, increased water intake, and increased dark leafy greens.

It improved his eyes and after 4 years the problem went disappeared.
My brother complained of his eyes watering allot while he was on it, but he's happy that his eyesight improved, and recommends Lutein to anyone who's having vision problems.

Check out Lutein and Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

And pray for Glenn Beck and his family.

[combat_boots]

I am a big believer in Lutein and zeaxanthin. And resveratrol.

I am also becoming quite interested in South American fruits and nuts. We don’t get a lot of them in the US. Some Japanese guy is trying to corner the market on at least one. The food nomad, Andrew Zimmer, speaks about some S. American tribal people who don’t suffer from degenrative diseases like those of us in the West. We all know the rainforests and undersea life forms have any number of active ingredients that are simply not used in Western food. Instead, we here just get lots of food.

[Paperdoll]

It’s Macular Degeneration, not Macular Distrophy. Muscular Dystrophy is a completely different disease having nothing to do with one’s eyesight.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Thanks for the info.

[BuckeyeTexan]

No, it’s not. Glenn was diagnosed with macular distrophy. Look it up. I know what muscular distrophy is. I’m not a freaking moron.

[Paperdoll]

Who called you a moron? The first story out on this was Macular Degeneration, which I have. I’ve never heard of Macular Dystrophy. I will, as you suggest, look it up.
