Hello, you have reached the
final program of Body Battles
00:00:27.72\00:00:32.09
this is Part 8 and we've
been through seven programs
00:00:32.13\00:00:34.80
as we talked about on the screen
here how important it is that
00:00:34.83\00:00:38.83
we protect our health
and we avoid dying early.
00:00:38.87\00:00:41.80
Some people think well,
my time comes, that's it,
00:00:41.84\00:00:46.17
I'm going to die when I die.
00:00:46.21\00:00:48.08
But the Bible actually tells
us something very interesting
00:00:48.11\00:00:51.25
in Ecclesiastes Chapter 7,
it says, it's talking about
00:00:51.28\00:00:55.18
how...In verse 16,
Why destroy yourself.
00:00:55.22\00:00:57.55
Verse 17 says Don't be foolish,
why die before your time?
00:00:57.59\00:01:03.22
So, we could die before our
time because of being foolish
00:01:03.26\00:01:08.23
and not following good
habits. At that point really,
00:01:08.26\00:01:13.27
we've lost the war against
our bodies by our own choices.
00:01:13.30\00:01:17.71
We hope that this series that
we've done will be a blessing
00:01:17.74\00:01:22.01
to you and help you to live
longer to make better choices,
00:01:22.04\00:01:26.35
not gooder choices, but better
choices so you can be here
00:01:26.38\00:01:30.52
as long as possible. We
are at our last program,
00:01:30.55\00:01:33.92
the title we've chosen
for today is called the
00:01:33.96\00:01:37.06
Attitude of Gratitude.
We're going to talk about the
00:01:37.09\00:01:40.03
powerful health benefits
of actually being happy.
00:01:40.06\00:01:45.27
Which comes from trusting God,
knowing His love, and His grace
00:01:45.30\00:01:49.44
and His goodness.
00:01:49.47\00:01:50.81
So my guest again for the final
program here is Jack McIntosh,
00:01:50.84\00:01:54.51
Jack is near an expert on
nutrition, health, the body,
00:01:54.54\00:01:59.81
you're a Health Educator and
you're also a Lifestyle Coach
00:01:59.85\00:02:04.05
which we'll talk
about at the end.
00:02:04.09\00:02:05.62
I like that one
better. Lifestyle Coach.
00:02:05.65\00:02:08.29
Not so much. Well, we all
have... somebody said once, the
00:02:08.32\00:02:12.83
biggest room in the world is the
room for improvement. Indeed.
00:02:12.86\00:02:15.16
So we all have room for
improvement and now we need
00:02:15.20\00:02:19.23
a lot of help from
above to make progress.
00:02:19.27\00:02:22.20
Yes, we do. So
Attitude of Gratitude.
00:02:22.24\00:02:25.21
You mentioned, I said
what Bible verse do you want to
00:02:25.24\00:02:28.64
focus on for this
program? and you directed me to
00:02:28.68\00:02:33.11
Proverbs chapter 17:22.
00:02:33.15\00:02:36.02
The Bible says, A merry
heart does good like a medicine:
00:02:36.15\00:02:41.39
It's medicinal and helps in
healing. And the rest of the
00:02:41.42\00:02:45.19
verse says: but a
broken spirit dries the bones.
00:02:45.23\00:02:49.53
So let's talk about that.
00:02:49.56\00:02:51.90
Yes, the average person reading
that would say well there's
00:02:51.93\00:02:57.44
no science there, that's
just a nice thing that appears
00:02:57.47\00:03:00.98
in the Bible. An
ancient book. Hold on, hold on,
00:03:01.01\00:03:03.98
turns out there is a lot of
science behind that statement.
00:03:04.01\00:03:07.22
That a merry heart does good
like a medicine, particularly
00:03:07.25\00:03:12.05
that merry heart's influence
on the soldiers within the body
00:03:12.09\00:03:18.96
that we call the immune system.
We're talking about body battles
00:03:18.99\00:03:22.36
and it turns out that a
merry heart is reinforcement
00:03:22.40\00:03:27.27
for the troops that
are defending the body,
00:03:27.30\00:03:31.87
the immune system. So
we're going to look at that
00:03:31.91\00:03:34.98
a little bit today. Okay.
00:03:35.01\00:03:36.34
But this topic that we are
on, draws heavily from the Bible
00:03:36.38\00:03:41.05
and from a book that was
actually published about 1903
00:03:41.08\00:03:45.25
called "Ministry of Healing"
and there is a lot of wisdom
00:03:45.29\00:03:50.63
in that book because it quotes
heavily from the Bible also.
00:03:50.66\00:03:55.10
But it makes a statement,
it says "pure air, sunlight,
00:03:55.13\00:03:58.73
abstemious which is a 19th
century word for self-control
00:03:58.77\00:04:05.67
Staying away from things like
that. Exercise, proper diet,
00:04:05.71\00:04:09.31
the use of water, trust
in divine power, it says,
00:04:09.34\00:04:11.85
these are the true remedies.
00:04:11.88\00:04:13.55
Now you only need a remedy
if something is wrong, right?
00:04:13.58\00:04:16.95
In other words, these are the
therapeutic agencies that God
00:04:16.99\00:04:21.56
has provided for us. When
we make a change in our diets,
00:04:21.59\00:04:25.19
when we breathe fresh air
instead of cigarette smoke
00:04:25.23\00:04:28.46
and things like that.
00:04:28.50\00:04:29.83
We do wonderful things
and they are therapeutic
00:04:29.86\00:04:33.40
but in that same boat,
there's another statement and
00:04:33.44\00:04:36.44
that statement says: "A
merry rejoicing heart doeth good
00:04:36.47\00:04:42.71
like a medicine." Now the author
is quoting from Proverbs 17:22
00:04:42.74\00:04:46.58
that you just read. And then
she adds gratitude, rejoicing,
00:04:46.61\00:04:51.82
benevolence, trust
in God's love and care,
00:04:51.85\00:04:56.62
these are health's greatest
safeguard...Now remember
00:04:56.66\00:05:01.76
in the former statement, it says
these are the true remedies,
00:05:01.80\00:05:05.17
but in this statement it
says, the greatest safeguard.
00:05:05.20\00:05:08.80
So what we are going to explore
is, how is it that gratitude
00:05:08.84\00:05:13.01
rejoicing and all those
things can be such a safeguard?
00:05:13.04\00:05:16.58
One of the ways that this
has been demonstrated is by the
00:05:16.61\00:05:23.35
experience of a man that
published a book back in the
00:05:23.39\00:05:27.09
eighty's, his name was Norman
Cousins and he wrote a book
00:05:27.12\00:05:30.43
called "Anatomy of an illness."
And he tells the story of how
00:05:30.46\00:05:35.06
he was in Russia, I think
he was in Leningrad and he
00:05:35.10\00:05:38.63
came down with a rare collagen
disease that they didn't
00:05:38.67\00:05:42.90
give him very much hope, for.
00:05:42.94\00:05:44.27
They were pretty sure
that he would not recover
00:05:44.31\00:05:48.44
he was admitted to the hospital,
he flew from Leningrad to
00:05:48.48\00:05:51.25
New York, admitted to the
hospital, came down with this
00:05:51.28\00:05:54.12
problem and in the hospital
he was getting more and more
00:05:54.15\00:05:58.89
depressed every day
and he said to his doctor,
00:05:58.92\00:06:00.89
you know what, I just don't
like what is happening to me
00:06:00.92\00:06:03.56
here, I'm just
getting down and down.
00:06:03.59\00:06:05.39
Can you bring me some videos
or something that will help me
00:06:05.43\00:06:08.23
lift my spirits
here a little bit?
00:06:08.26\00:06:09.66
And so the doctor
brought him in some videos,
00:06:09.70\00:06:14.14
I think it may have been
Candid Camera or something
00:06:14.17\00:06:17.77
like that from the
'70s or whatever it was
00:06:17.81\00:06:20.84
and so he began to watch those
daily and he makes a statement
00:06:20.88\00:06:28.12
that I want to read to
you, this is a very interesting
00:06:28.15\00:06:30.55
statement and it says this.
00:06:30.59\00:06:31.99
I made the joyous discovery
that 10 minutes of genuine
00:06:32.02\00:06:37.26
belly laughter had an anesthetic
effect and would give me
00:06:37.29\00:06:42.36
at least two hours of pain-free
sleep, because he was in a lot
00:06:42.40\00:06:46.57
of pain and he couldn't sleep.
00:06:46.60\00:06:48.37
Ten minutes of belly laughter
gives him two hours of sleep,
00:06:48.40\00:06:54.51
restful sleep, and so the other
thing that they began to notice
00:06:54.54\00:06:59.28
is that each time that
he would do one of these
00:06:59.31\00:07:02.82
laughter sessions, that
his SED rate would drop.
00:07:02.85\00:07:06.12
They would measure it
before the laughter session
00:07:06.15\00:07:08.72
and after because they noticed
that something was happening,
00:07:08.76\00:07:12.06
they didn't know quite what.
But looking at the SED rate
00:07:12.09\00:07:14.66
which is an
indication of how sick you are.
00:07:14.70\00:07:16.93
The SED rate, every time
the laughing session happened
00:07:16.97\00:07:20.94
would go down by five
points, we thought wow,
00:07:20.97\00:07:23.54
that's interesting.
00:07:23.57\00:07:24.91
And then, they did
something else that was a little
00:07:24.94\00:07:29.24
different, they administered
vitamin D, quite a bit 10 grams
00:07:29.28\00:07:33.08
actually, and that time the
SED rate dropped nine points
00:07:33.11\00:07:36.32
and so he was now
starting to sleep better...
00:07:36.35\00:07:41.19
Did you say vitamin D
or vitamin C. Vitamin C.
00:07:41.22\00:07:43.43
I think you said vitamin D.
00:07:43.46\00:07:44.79
Did I say D? I stand corrected.
00:07:44.83\00:07:47.76
Vitamin C. His sleep
was improving in quality
00:07:47.80\00:07:51.83
the fever was coming
down, and so, he was on his way
00:07:51.87\00:07:57.31
to recovery. Just
those two simple things.
00:07:57.34\00:08:00.14
Laughter and some vitamin
C. So we know that these simple
00:08:00.18\00:08:07.28
things can have an enormous
effect on our health and on our
00:08:07.32\00:08:11.45
immune system in particular.
00:08:11.49\00:08:13.02
There is actually research
from Loma Linda University
00:08:13.05\00:08:18.46
on the effects of mirthful
laughter is what Dr. Cannarella
00:08:18.49\00:08:22.93
calls it. When we laugh,
the brain releases endorphins
00:08:22.96\00:08:29.54
which are sort of like feel
good hormones, you feel good.
00:08:29.57\00:08:33.27
Happy hormones. There very
similar to morphine actually
00:08:33.34\00:08:37.18
and the brain
releases very small amounts,
00:08:37.21\00:08:40.58
the Creator knows just
how much to release, right?
00:08:40.62\00:08:42.78
and we feel good, we feel happy
to be alive when the endorphins
00:08:42.82\00:08:48.82
are released. Endorphins
not only in response to laughter
00:08:48.86\00:08:52.89
but guess what? When you get
out there and you're physically
00:08:52.93\00:08:58.33
active, guess what happens,
you get a little reward in the
00:08:58.37\00:09:01.67
brain for doing that
the endorphins are released.
00:09:01.70\00:09:04.77
And so we can learn from that
from these physiological effects
00:09:04.81\00:09:11.28
of physical activity and
laughter and things like that.
00:09:11.31\00:09:15.58
that good things are
happening in the body.
00:09:15.75\00:09:18.72
But what kinds of
good things are happening?
00:09:18.75\00:09:20.99
Well Dr. Cannarella
comes to our rescue on this,
00:09:21.02\00:09:23.79
listen to what she says over
here I'm going to read a little
00:09:23.83\00:09:28.13
statement. She says, she talks
about the beneficial effects
00:09:28.16\00:09:33.74
of mirthful laughter. Now
we down here on this level
00:09:33.77\00:09:38.54
we would call that a
good belly laugh, right?
00:09:38.57\00:09:40.94
But she refers to that as
mirthful laughter, I like that.
00:09:40.98\00:09:45.35
She says, notice, increased
activation and proliferation
00:09:45.38\00:09:50.29
of T lymphocytes,
let me translate that.
00:09:50.32\00:09:53.62
The T lymphocytes which are
responsible for knocking out
00:09:53.66\00:09:57.36
cancer cells. The good soldiers.
Those are one of the prime
00:09:57.39\00:10:01.63
defenders, right? Soldiers.
The T-cells become more active
00:10:01.66\00:10:06.60
in the presence of
laughter and these endorphins
00:10:06.63\00:10:10.04
and they increase in
number, proliferation means they
00:10:10.07\00:10:14.41
increase in number, so
this is absolutely wonderful.
00:10:14.44\00:10:19.28
It's kind of like if the
commanding officer laughs
00:10:19.31\00:10:22.28
then the soldiers
multiply and do better.
00:10:22.32\00:10:25.15
Yes, but not only the T-
lymphocytes, we have other cells
00:10:25.19\00:10:29.22
in the immune system
called natural killer cells.
00:10:29.26\00:10:33.33
Now these are the pit
bulls of the immune system
00:10:33.36\00:10:37.43
and they go after those cancer
cells and what she noticed
00:10:37.47\00:10:41.90
was that there was increased
destruction of tumor cells
00:10:41.94\00:10:46.74
that is cancer cells,
by natural killer cells.
00:10:46.78\00:10:50.85
Who knew, laughter
produced the endorphins,
00:10:50.88\00:10:54.85
now, how does this actually
work? Now it turns out the
00:10:54.88\00:10:58.85
T-cells have endorphin receptors
on them, so in other words they
00:10:58.89\00:11:03.63
interact with endorphins.
And the first time I heard this
00:11:03.66\00:11:07.13
back in 1982, I went to Loma
Linda at a convention there,
00:11:07.16\00:11:10.67
a symposium and I thought
wow, T- cells have endorphin
00:11:10.70\00:11:18.04
receptors so when you laugh your
T-cells get more active and they
00:11:18.07\00:11:21.51
increase in number,
this is absolutely wonderful
00:11:21.54\00:11:24.15
that's Proverbs 17:22,
A merry heart does good
00:11:24.18\00:11:28.98
like a
medicine, this is therapy.
00:11:29.02\00:11:31.25
I'm sure, a lot of people
might be watching this right now
00:11:31.29\00:11:34.59
they might be thinking,
there are so many bad things
00:11:34.62\00:11:36.79
in this world,
how can I be happy?
00:11:36.83\00:11:38.46
This morning I was on the
phone with somebody before
00:11:38.49\00:11:41.10
I came over here and he
was talking about the different
00:11:41.13\00:11:44.73
things that are going on
in the world and how they're
00:11:45.70\00:11:47.17
really bad and this is
coming and this is happening
00:11:47.20\00:11:49.24
and this, this, this.
00:11:49.27\00:11:50.61
And he wanted me to
watch a different video
00:11:50.64\00:11:52.74
and I told him, I'm just gonna-
I can't watch all these videos
00:11:52.77\00:11:57.25
right now, we're filming today
and I'm just going to give it
00:11:57.28\00:12:00.15
to God and I'm
just going to trust Him
00:12:00.18\00:12:01.98
and I'm going to be happy.
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.85
I've been through dark
days in my life and I've learned
00:12:04.89\00:12:08.32
like you said...the
attitude of gratitude.
00:12:08.36\00:12:12.49
And I found that the reason
why I can be happy in the midst
00:12:12.53\00:12:18.57
of things that are
going on that are bad
00:12:18.60\00:12:21.20
is that I have faith in
God, that God is a God of love.
00:12:21.24\00:12:25.07
The Bible tells us 1John 4:8,
that God is love and that He
00:12:25.11\00:12:30.15
cares for me. There's another
verse in Peter, I think its
00:12:30.18\00:12:32.68
5:8, something like that, or
4:8 it says cast all your cares
00:12:32.71\00:12:36.69
upon Him because
He cares for you. Yes!
00:12:36.72\00:12:39.05
So to know that there is
a God in heaven who loves us
00:12:39.09\00:12:42.06
who cares for us, who
gave His Son to pay the price
00:12:42.09\00:12:44.79
for our sins, who rose
from the dead and He can save us
00:12:44.83\00:12:49.00
by His grace. And He has a
heavenly home ahead for us,
00:12:49.03\00:12:53.03
when all the dust settles
and when Jesus comes back
00:12:53.07\00:12:57.17
and He gets rid of evil...
00:12:57.21\00:12:58.67
It's that big picture
that no matter what happens
00:12:58.71\00:13:02.04
no matter how bad
things get, God loves me,
00:13:02.08\00:13:04.35
He is going to take
care of me if I follow Him
00:13:04.38\00:13:06.48
and choose Him, I have a
hope of a fantastic future.
00:13:06.51\00:13:10.45
And so that give me...
It puts a smile on my face
00:13:10.49\00:13:13.72
Yeah. It gives me a reason
to be happy and the more I smile
00:13:13.76\00:13:18.03
the more I am happy then
those endorphins are clicking
00:13:18.06\00:13:21.06
and those soldiers are
strengthening and it really does
00:13:21.10\00:13:25.10
like Proverbs says, "A
merry heart does good like a
00:13:25.13\00:13:28.37
medicine." And we need to have
that faith in God and His love
00:13:28.40\00:13:31.57
in order to have
that positive attitude.
00:13:31.61\00:13:33.51
Yes, that's absolutely true,
I love to read Revelation 21
00:13:33.54\00:13:37.18
because
Revelation 21 is so hopeful.
00:13:37.21\00:13:41.28
"I saw a new heaven and a
new earth. The first heaven
00:13:41.32\00:13:46.19
and the first earth were passed
away and there was no more sea
00:13:46.22\00:13:49.09
and then it says God
Himself descends from heaven
00:13:49.12\00:13:52.46
and dwells with us".
Right! This is the hope this
00:13:52.49\00:13:56.20
makes you happy,
joyful... That's right and
00:13:56.23\00:13:58.17
Revelation 21:4, I've shared
this many times in seminars
00:13:58.20\00:14:02.80
it says "There shall be no
more death, neither sorrow,
00:14:02.84\00:14:05.84
nor crying, nor pain,
for the former thing have
00:14:05.87\00:14:08.91
passed away. And He who sat
upon the throne said behold,
00:14:08.94\00:14:12.05
I make all things new,"
and He said write this down
00:14:12.08\00:14:15.58
for these words
are true and faithful.
00:14:15.62\00:14:17.99
Take it to the bank. That's
right, take it to the bank.
00:14:18.02\00:14:20.99
It's more
certain than the dollar
00:14:21.02\00:14:23.22
or the ground that we
walk on. Indeed, indeed.
00:14:23.26\00:14:25.79
Is God's word and His promises.
00:14:25.83\00:14:27.70
I mentioned in the beginning
that this conversation that
00:14:27.76\00:14:32.00
we're having today
draws heavily from the book
00:14:32.03\00:14:34.90
Ministry of Healing, I was
to share one more thing with you
00:14:34.94\00:14:37.17
that to me is priceless and it's
a statement that talks about
00:14:37.21\00:14:44.15
the most important thing
that we can do for our health...
00:14:44.18\00:14:48.75
I was going in the
wrong direction there...
00:14:48.78\00:14:51.52
Let me find it...Here's what
it says I think its page 251
00:14:51.55\00:14:56.93
of the book Ministry of
Healing. I've read that book,
00:14:56.96\00:14:58.93
that is some
wonderful book. Fantastic.
00:14:58.96\00:15:01.70
I went through some real
dark struggles, everybody
00:15:01.73\00:15:04.97
goes through
struggles... I remember reading
00:15:05.00\00:15:06.87
this chapter is
called Mind Cure.
00:15:06.90\00:15:09.10
Mind Cure, that's
where this comes from.
00:15:09.14\00:15:10.54
I have read that chapter over
and over again and it really...
00:15:10.57\00:15:13.88
It helped me put
a smile on my face.
00:15:13.91\00:15:16.38
That's where this whole
topic came from was that chapter
00:15:16.41\00:15:21.12
called "Mind Cure"
and it is wonderful.
00:15:21.15\00:15:24.89
Here's what it says: Page 251
of the book Ministry of Healing.
00:15:24.92\00:15:30.73
I hope everybody who is watching
this goes to wherever you get
00:15:30.76\00:15:35.70
your books and
orders Ministry of Healing.
00:15:35.73\00:15:39.13
The order on Amazon, I
don't if Whitehorse Media,
00:15:39.17\00:15:42.17
I don't remember whether
that's in our store or not
00:15:42.20\00:15:45.17
but if it's not, they
can go to Amazon.com and just
00:15:45.21\00:15:47.84
type in Ministry of
Healing by Ellen G White
00:15:47.88\00:15:50.31
and they can order that book.
00:15:50.35\00:15:51.75
I bet you it will be
in the store after today.
00:15:51.78\00:15:53.68
Here's what it says:
00:15:53.72\00:15:56.38
Nothing. Now it begins
with that is uncompromised
00:15:56.42\00:16:01.09
it says Nothing. "Nothing
tends more to promote health,
00:16:01.12\00:16:05.49
of body and of soul than
does a spirit of gratitude
00:16:05.53\00:16:11.37
and praise."
00:16:11.40\00:16:12.73
Nothing, not even your diet,
not even physical activity.
00:16:12.77\00:16:16.97
Or exercise. Or those other
things that we talked about.
00:16:17.01\00:16:21.28
In other words, this is the
pinnacle, it's not that those
00:16:21.31\00:16:24.25
things are not important,
they are very important.
00:16:24.28\00:16:26.11
This is the pinnacle of what
we can do to protect our health.
00:16:26.15\00:16:30.35
Nothing tends more to
promote health of body and soul
00:16:30.39\00:16:35.26
then does a spirit
of gratitude and praise.
00:16:35.29\00:16:39.29
This is why the Apostle
Paul says Rejoice in the Lord
00:16:39.33\00:16:43.23
when everything is going
well. Is that what he says?
00:16:43.26\00:16:46.20
No, he says
Rejoice in the Lord Always.
00:16:46.23\00:16:49.40
Even when things are going bad
we are to rejoice in the Lord.
00:16:49.44\00:16:53.74
Now here is the
rest of the statement.
00:16:53.78\00:16:55.48
It is a positive duty to
resist melancholy, discontented
00:16:55.51\00:17:03.08
thoughts and feelings, as
much a duty as it is to pray.
00:17:03.12\00:17:08.12
Wow! I read that and it
made my hair stand on end.
00:17:08.16\00:17:12.49
My hair stands on end anyway
but it really stood on end.
00:17:12.53\00:17:15.00
So resist the negative
thoughts and be thankful to God
00:17:15.03\00:17:19.83
for His goodness and
love no matter what happens
00:17:19.87\00:17:22.50
Trust in God's love and
care that is so critical.
00:17:22.54\00:17:27.98
Bring us through
whatever comes our way.
00:17:28.01\00:17:31.31
And so this is the kind
of thing that we can rely on.
00:17:31.35\00:17:36.75
The other thing that I
think is really important for us
00:17:36.79\00:17:40.72
to do is to reach out to others.
00:17:40.76\00:17:42.42
You know, when we are stuck
in ourselves and we're just
00:17:42.46\00:17:46.70
thinking about all the
negatives, one of the best
00:17:46.73\00:17:50.57
things to do is to say
okay, I need to reach out and
00:17:50.60\00:17:55.07
help someone else. Make a
phone call, maybe you can't
00:17:55.10\00:17:58.41
go to someone's house,
but you can pick up the phone,
00:17:58.44\00:18:01.21
how are you today?
00:18:01.24\00:18:02.98
Encourage them, these are things
and guess what happens to your
00:18:03.01\00:18:07.52
spirit when you
encourage someone else?
00:18:07.55\00:18:10.19
It lifts up your spirit.
Yeah, I read that recently,
00:18:10.22\00:18:12.89
something like if you are
helpless, help someone else.
00:18:12.92\00:18:16.09
Yes, absolutely. I think
if we stop thinking just about
00:18:16.12\00:18:18.69
ourselves, try to
think about somebody else,
00:18:18.73\00:18:20.90
there's lots of people
around us that have needs...
00:18:20.93\00:18:23.23
There's plenty of work to do
to help encourage other people
00:18:23.26\00:18:26.70
and in lifting up somebody
else, we lift up ourselves.
00:18:26.74\00:18:30.61
Yes, and I have been trying
over the course of the last
00:18:30.64\00:18:34.34
year or two to
follow the advice of Jesus,
00:18:34.38\00:18:38.61
He said something in
Matthew six, He said, but seek
00:18:38.65\00:18:42.18
first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness and all these
00:18:42.22\00:18:47.89
things will be added unto you.
00:18:47.92\00:18:49.42
So when I get up in the morning
I am anxious to get to my desk
00:18:49.46\00:18:52.49
and start making calls
and oh, I've got this to do
00:18:52.53\00:18:55.26
go to Home Depot and fix
this and do that and to...
00:18:55.30\00:18:59.07
And very often the Lord
has to stop me and say are you
00:18:59.10\00:19:03.71
seeking first the
kingdom of God and oh yeah, Lord
00:19:03.74\00:19:06.57
I promise to do this and
so I change my attitude and
00:19:06.61\00:19:12.75
now I'm focused... Who can
I call, who can I encourage
00:19:12.78\00:19:17.25
today? The other
day... this happened to me
00:19:17.29\00:19:20.16
and I made three calls and I
can't tell you what a blessing.
00:19:20.19\00:19:26.23
because I was speaking that
particular day, the next day,
00:19:26.29\00:19:32.30
and we had a wonderful
time together and he stayed
00:19:32.33\00:19:35.10
for our fellowship dinner
and I talked to two other people
00:19:35.14\00:19:39.44
and I just felt so good after
that the day just sailed along,
00:19:39.47\00:19:45.65
you know, it's
just so wonderful.
00:19:45.68\00:19:47.12
That reminds me of my
dad, my dad died at 89
00:19:47.15\00:19:50.39
a couple of years ago and
his body was falling apart
00:19:50.42\00:19:54.72
and he would tell me,
let's make today a kingdom day.
00:19:54.76\00:19:57.33
And he had a list of people
that he would call with his
00:19:57.36\00:20:01.73
crippled fingers, he would get
on his cell phone and he would
00:20:01.76\00:20:05.67
call people and he would
pray with people and he was just
00:20:05.70\00:20:08.67
focused on helping other people.
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.61
And my dad died a happy man.
00:20:11.64\00:20:13.21
The man that was with him when
he died, I wasn't actually...
00:20:13.24\00:20:17.65
I was with him many times
but not at the moment of death.
00:20:17.68\00:20:20.62
At the moment of death a
man that was there told me
00:20:20.65\00:20:24.12
that he grabbed this man's
hand and he said halleluiah
00:20:24.15\00:20:28.36
and he died. And that
was his last word, halleluiah
00:20:28.39\00:20:33.16
and he died. My dad had a hope
of a resurrection, hope in God,
00:20:33.19\00:20:38.03
hope in Jesus, and he lived
that life of unselfishness.
00:20:38.07\00:20:42.54
My grandmother was like
that. When her mother died
00:20:42.57\00:20:46.81
she said Zion, Zion, what a
pretty place, apparently the
00:20:46.88\00:20:53.48
Lord gave her a little
look, something you know.
00:20:53.52\00:20:56.18
But people like that are the
happiest people on the planet
00:20:56.22\00:21:00.82
they are not focused on self,
they look to meet the needs
00:21:00.86\00:21:06.33
of others and what
a privilege that is.
00:21:06.36\00:21:09.03
That's the life of
Jesus... That's right, and they
00:21:09.06\00:21:11.37
live longer and they're
happier. They live longer...
00:21:11.40\00:21:13.07
and have a better hope.
00:21:13.10\00:21:14.44
Well, Jack, we're running
out of time, I want to...
00:21:14.47\00:21:16.47
We're in our last program
and I want to mention a few
00:21:16.50\00:21:18.61
resources that have been
watching this eight-part series.
00:21:18.64\00:21:21.98
And then I will give you
some time to talk about your
00:21:22.01\00:21:24.48
coaching. Whitehorse Media
has a book that I...I wrote this
00:21:24.51\00:21:28.98
book and it deals with a lot
of health principles that I've
00:21:29.02\00:21:32.05
learned and physicians have
endorsed this book it's called
00:21:32.09\00:21:34.69
End Times Health War and
it deals with all kinds of
00:21:34.72\00:21:37.43
body issues and how to
build your health just like
00:21:37.46\00:21:40.16
we have been talking
about in this series.
00:21:40.20\00:21:41.76
I also have a key to interesting
nutrition and then Jack
00:21:41.80\00:21:45.47
as you known I eat
a lot of sprout salads
00:21:45.50\00:21:48.00
and I teach a whole
course on how to sprout.
00:21:48.04\00:21:51.84
And if you are interested
in growing your own food
00:21:51.87\00:21:53.88
in your own kitchen, you can
just check out sprouting with
00:21:53.91\00:21:56.91
steve.com, that's
our main website on that
00:21:56.95\00:21:59.75
sproutingwithsteve.com to learn
how to grow organic live food
00:21:59.78\00:22:03.18
in your own home. And
Jack, you also, you're a coach
00:22:03.22\00:22:06.86
and why don't you tell us a
little bit about your services
00:22:06.89\00:22:09.52
your website before we wind
this up so, some people might
00:22:09.56\00:22:12.66
want to connect with you
and have you coach them along
00:22:12.69\00:22:14.96
and make some
positive life- style choices.
00:22:15.00\00:22:18.43
Sure. So, what I do as a
health educator is I facilitate
00:22:18.47\00:22:25.21
lifestyle change. Sometimes
people have trouble with
00:22:25.24\00:22:29.71
getting going on the
simple things that we've been
00:22:29.74\00:22:34.32
talking about. You know it
seems like a mountain to them
00:22:34.38\00:22:38.22
sometimes, it seems simple
to you and me but...because
00:22:38.25\00:22:41.62
we've done it, but to
people who are just starting
00:22:41.66\00:22:44.59
it seems like a
mountain sometimes.
00:22:44.63\00:22:46.13
So my rule is to facilitate
change and that's with a
00:22:46.16\00:22:49.86
lifestyle interventionist does.
00:22:49.90\00:22:52.03
So, we were talking before about
physical activity, so what I do
00:22:52.07\00:22:55.64
is I say okay, let's get your
cell phone out and set a time
00:22:55.67\00:22:58.67
when you're going to take
a walk and when you get up
00:22:58.71\00:23:03.55
in the morning. I want
you the night before to put
00:23:03.58\00:23:07.62
a glass on the bathroom
sink and that glass has water
00:23:07.65\00:23:12.49
from the water cooler, purified
water and that glass is to
00:23:12.52\00:23:16.93
remind you that you are to
drink that water in the morning
00:23:16.96\00:23:20.73
to thin the blood, so
that's what I do. I coach people
00:23:20.76\00:23:23.90
and how to make this happen
because if for some people
00:23:23.93\00:23:29.07
they do it for a little
while and it's here hit and miss
00:23:29.10\00:23:32.47
and all that and what I do
also is I create accountability
00:23:32.51\00:23:36.91
so you need to call me once
a week because I want to know
00:23:36.95\00:23:41.05
how you are doing and in the
beginning it's every 2 or 3 days
00:23:41.08\00:23:44.45
until you get going on
your habits, the proper habits.
00:23:44.49\00:23:48.46
On the refrigerator is a
little tracking device and that
00:23:48.49\00:23:55.56
tracking device, you
check off, did you walk today?
00:23:55.60\00:23:58.73
did you drink pure
water? did you have a positive
00:23:58.77\00:24:02.10
attitude of gratitude?
That's one of the little things
00:24:02.14\00:24:04.77
you have to check off.
Because it's very important
00:24:04.81\00:24:08.74
that the brain is happy.
Because when the brain is happy
00:24:08.78\00:24:13.31
it vanishes depression and
you feel good and feel like
00:24:13.35\00:24:16.69
you know what, I'm making
progress here, that's great.
00:24:16.72\00:24:19.65
Do you feel good? Now,
just quickly, any quick stories
00:24:19.69\00:24:23.09
of anyone that you've coached
that has. Oh, I've coached many
00:24:23.12\00:24:26.36
people...A lot of people
that I coach I don't even have a
00:24:26.39\00:24:29.43
formal relationship with them.
00:24:29.46\00:24:30.80
I remember once up
there in Washougal, Washington
00:24:30.83\00:24:34.07
I was at a little
church gathering by the river
00:24:34.10\00:24:38.61
after church fellowship
meal/ dinner and somebody I was
00:24:38.64\00:24:45.11
talking to and I learned he
was diabetic and he says to me,
00:24:45.15\00:24:48.08
what can I do for my diabetes?
00:24:48.12\00:24:51.75
And so I said to him,
well, you need a walking program
00:24:51.79\00:24:54.19
first of all and you need
to be eating the Eden diet
00:24:54.22\00:24:59.59
and to drink water
and those kinds of things,
00:24:59.63\00:25:02.83
and I said if you walk, and
you put these large leg muscles
00:25:02.86\00:25:08.14
to work, it will put
out those insulin receptors,
00:25:08.17\00:25:11.44
brand new ones and that will
draw that sugar right out of
00:25:11.47\00:25:15.41
your blood and bring down
your blood-sugar naturally.
00:25:15.44\00:25:18.41
He said, does that really work?
I said well you need to do it.
00:25:18.45\00:25:21.62
Just do it. So, he did it and
his high blood sugar went away,
00:25:21.65\00:25:28.69
he's no longer diabetic,
in fact I just asked him about
00:25:28.72\00:25:33.80
five weeks ago to put a
little testimonial on my website
00:25:33.83\00:25:37.07
his name is Gary,
and so Gary did that.
00:25:37.10\00:25:40.44
But somewhere
along 3 to 4 months later
00:25:40.47\00:25:44.67
I said how are you
doing, are you still walking?
00:25:44.71\00:25:47.34
Well, I'm not quite...I said
listen, if you don't get back
00:25:47.38\00:25:52.08
the diabetes is going to come
back, you better get going...
00:25:52.11\00:25:54.52
so he did and now he's diabetes
free, it's wonderful. Wow.
00:25:54.55\00:25:57.59
