| "Is It A
Disease?"
Can poverty and sexual addiction be considered
diseases? Today’s guests believe so and
say their lives have been altered because of
these afflictions. Others say it’s just
a way for people to place blame for their own
vices. Find out their stories and draw your
own conclusions below:
Having cheated on his wife Eliza for the last
five years, Eric attributes his behavior to a
problem with sexual addiction. Eliza discovered
his infidelity when she found Eric’s secret
cell phone and used it to call one of his mistresses,
only to find out Eric had also been living with
her. Eliza has a hard time believing Eric has
a disease and doesn’t know whether to leave
him.
Guest expert Dr. Drew Pinsky counseled the couple,
saying that while he could not diagnose whether
Eric truly has a disease, it is very difficult
to quantify sex addiction. He added that while
it could just be an excuse for his behavior,
Eric should consider seeking treatment.

Jerry admittedly has an addiction to sex and
online pornography, which makes his wife Ana
sympathetic despite the fact that he has cheated
on her at least 12 times. Though they are now
separated, Jerry wants Ana back but isn’t
sure he can overcome his plight. Dr. Drew said
that because Jerry is molested as a child, he
is predisposed to have a sexual addiction. He
advised Ana to stop being codependent and make
Jerry accountable for getting his life in order.

Is poverty a disease? Kingsley Jones and Dr. Bill
Releford strongly believe that it is indeed and
that more resources need to be allocated to its
cure. Video
Clip: Watch Larry debate Kingsley and Dr. Releford
on the merits of their argument. 22-year-old
Sam appeared on the show to testify to Kingsley’s
approach. Having left the streets behind through
Kingsley’s mentorship, he credits Kingsley
with his newfound success. After successfully rising
from poverty, 27-year-old entrepreneur Ryan begs
to differ. He says that overcoming poverty is a
choice and calling poverty a disease kills motivation
to succeed.
