Welcome to Celebrating Life
in Recovery I'm Cheri your host.
00:00:10.77\00:00:13.81
And today we are going
to look at the fact that in
00:00:13.84\00:00:17.08
recovery everything matters.
00:00:17.11\00:00:18.74
Hypocrisy's once said
let food be your medicine and
00:00:18.77\00:00:22.59
medicine be your food.
00:00:22.62\00:00:23.71
So we are going to look
at the healing value of food.
00:00:23.74\00:00:26.56
Come on and join us this
is going to be good stuff.
00:00:26.59\00:00:28.83
That's brilliant, welcome back.
00:00:55.78\00:00:57.86
I love doing this show, I
love bringing stuff to the
00:00:57.89\00:01:01.56
table, I love talking about
issues and today we're going
00:01:01.59\00:01:04.88
to do something a
little bit different and it is
00:01:04.91\00:01:06.53
going to be a lot of fun.
00:01:06.56\00:01:07.66
I'm not even going
to tell you I'm going to
00:01:07.69\00:01:09.05
surprise you with it.
00:01:09.08\00:01:10.05
First of all I want to
start out with the book for
00:01:10.06\00:01:12.37
this season Exalting
His Word by Shelly Quinn.
00:01:12.40\00:01:15.08
And in one of the section
she covers the fact that God
00:01:15.11\00:01:17.83
is a God of new beginnings.
00:01:17.86\00:01:19.43
And that is right God
is a God of new beginnings.
00:01:19.46\00:01:21.53
His love and compassion
never fail, Lamentations
00:01:21.56\00:01:24.22
3:22,23, say that His
mercies are new every morning.
00:01:24.25\00:01:28.12
I am so grateful for
that because I'm a mess.
00:01:28.15\00:01:30.35
And if it wasn't the fact
that God says today, new day
00:01:30.38\00:01:33.31
let's start over, I don't
know that I would be able to
00:01:33.34\00:01:36.22
survive all the different
things that I have to do.
00:01:36.25\00:01:38.40
And I want so badly to
convince my friends in recovery,
00:01:38.43\00:01:41.54
convince you that
every single thing matters.
00:01:41.57\00:01:44.21
That for one you can't
stay up for 3 or 4 days at a
00:01:44.24\00:01:47.12
time, I'm talking to my
Meth addict friends out there,
00:01:47.15\00:01:49.45
and have it not make you crazy.
00:01:49.48\00:01:51.52
In fact for people that
are more normal you can't stay
00:01:51.55\00:01:54.32
up until 11, 12, 1, 2 in
the morning and think you are
00:01:54.35\00:01:57.19
going to function the next day,
or actually the next few days.
00:01:57.22\00:02:00.18
Because our body has to
catch up on itself so everything
00:02:00.21\00:02:03.66
you do matters.
00:02:03.69\00:02:05.72
I'm going to say
that a lot this show.
00:02:05.75\00:02:07.28
Like me for instance, I
want to be skinny and in health.
00:02:07.31\00:02:12.52
I want to be fit, but I
also want to eat ice cream every
00:02:12.55\00:02:15.71
single day, and lots of
it, you know what I mean!
00:02:15.74\00:02:18.33
God is trying to show me,
you know Hon, and He shows me
00:02:18.36\00:02:22.03
through the Holy Spirit,
the Bible, through teaching that
00:02:22.06\00:02:24.86
ice cream is fighting against
the goals I have for health.
00:02:24.89\00:02:28.35
In some the things I'm
doing maybe fighting against the
00:02:28.38\00:02:32.11
very goals I have in recovery.
00:02:32.14\00:02:34.10
So He is just trying
help me pay attention.
00:02:34.13\00:02:36.67
I talk with sex addicts
that are just damaged and that
00:02:36.70\00:02:40.21
is our ministry and we
work with all kinds of different
00:02:40.24\00:02:42.40
addictions, but talking
with sex addicts or porn
00:02:42.43\00:02:45.49
addicts they will say,
you know what I want to so not
00:02:45.52\00:02:47.97
get messed up
with all that junk.
00:02:48.00\00:02:50.95
Then I tell them just
tell me what your day is like.
00:02:50.98\00:02:55.07
They say by the end of the
day 11 or 12 at night I will
00:02:55.10\00:02:58.81
sit at the computer,
I'm thinking shut up.
00:02:58.84\00:03:01.77
So out of 11 or 12 at
night you will sit at the
00:03:01.80\00:03:04.54
computer, that is where
you start your surfing and
00:03:04.57\00:03:06.99
you don't think
you're going to end up on
00:03:07.02\00:03:08.10
some really goofy sites?
00:03:08.13\00:03:09.65
I'm telling you
that everything matters.
00:03:09.68\00:03:12.04
Don't turn the computer
on after 8 if you have a
00:03:12.07\00:03:14.93
porn addiction, don't do it!
00:03:14.96\00:03:16.56
Because before 8 we
have more control and
00:03:16.59\00:03:18.69
I just think that is true.
00:03:18.72\00:03:19.92
I want to tell you a
story about a guy in recovery.
00:03:19.95\00:03:24.08
He has some sexual
addictions, he is trying his
00:03:24.11\00:03:28.07
hardest and white knuckling it.
00:03:28.10\00:03:29.69
He is doing whatever he
can to not act out sexually.
00:03:29.72\00:03:34.15
He is having some
stress at home, the stress is
00:03:34.18\00:03:38.15
getting worse and worse
and he tends to act out if he
00:03:38.18\00:03:41.29
is being disrespected
or get stressed out.
00:03:41.32\00:03:43.86
All of a sudden his
boss is on him, his wife,
00:03:43.89\00:03:46.90
he is distancing
himself from her,
00:03:46.93\00:03:49.15
because of the stress at home.
00:03:49.18\00:03:50.22
He says one day after work
I'm just going to go and get
00:03:50.25\00:03:53.40
myself a Pepsi, and so he
goes to the normal store that
00:03:53.43\00:03:57.59
he always goes to.
00:03:57.62\00:03:58.90
The Pepsi is
right there and he walks
00:03:58.93\00:04:01.26
over and grabs it.
00:04:01.29\00:04:02.31
Right next were the Pepsi
is in some of those magazines,
00:04:02.34\00:04:06.10
you know what
magazine I'm talking about.
00:04:06.13\00:04:08.26
Magazines with a lot of women
in it, a lot of sexual stuff
00:04:08.29\00:04:12.24
and he picks up a magazine.
00:04:12.27\00:04:13.84
So he buys the magazine
and a Pepsi and goes home.
00:04:13.87\00:04:16.19
Within hours he's acting out and
doing things he shouldn't do.
00:04:16.22\00:04:19.76
He gets in his car and is
cruising around town looking
00:04:19.79\00:04:23.11
at prostitutes and
all that kind of stuff.
00:04:23.14\00:04:25.84
He comes home and is acting
out some more and he starts to
00:04:25.87\00:04:29.18
have really some horrible guilt.
00:04:29.21\00:04:31.89
By the end of the day
he's acted out like crazy,
00:04:31.92\00:04:33.97
he's guilt kicks in
and all that kind of stuff.
00:04:34.00\00:04:36.04
So he goes to his accountability
partner and you know
00:04:36.07\00:04:39.49
what they tell him?
00:04:39.52\00:04:40.49
Anybody want to, you want to,
00:04:40.50\00:04:42.90
what do you think they tell him?
00:04:42.93\00:04:44.37
Hang in there or something.
00:04:44.40\00:04:47.33
You'll love what they actually
tell him, stop drinking Pepsi.
00:04:47.36\00:04:50.77
Is that right - yeah!
00:04:50.80\00:04:52.28
Wow - so everything
starts when you buy that Pepsi,
00:04:52.31\00:04:55.13
don't buy that so
again everything matters.
00:04:55.16\00:04:59.40
It's not so much the
acting out at the very end of
00:04:59.43\00:05:02.26
something, it's not so
much the first bite of ice cream
00:05:02.29\00:05:04.49
I take, it is that every
single little thing matters.
00:05:04.52\00:05:07.23
There's, what's that saying?
00:05:07.26\00:05:10.00
There's a saying that
little foxes destroy the field
00:05:10.03\00:05:13.94
or something, I mean
it's just the little things.
00:05:13.97\00:05:15.80
So everything matters
and I want to introduce
00:05:15.83\00:05:17.81
you now to Nyse Collins.
00:05:17.84\00:05:19.54
Nyse I've been waiting for
this show forever, I love your
00:05:19.57\00:05:23.10
ministry, I love what
you are going to bring to the
00:05:23.13\00:05:24.92
table for us and I want
you to just say a little bit
00:05:24.95\00:05:30.42
about what your ministry
is and what got you into that.
00:05:30.45\00:05:33.35
Ultimately we are NLC,
what we are basically medical
00:05:33.38\00:05:38.99
missionaries turned evangelist,
we bring it into the nutshell,
00:05:39.02\00:05:41.24
under a consultant umbrella.
00:05:41.27\00:05:42.77
Our goal is to work with
different businesses, groups,
00:05:42.80\00:05:45.16
and churches
and stuff like that.
00:05:45.19\00:05:46.54
To provide the information
where they can live a
00:05:46.57\00:05:48.28
healthier lifestyle - so
healthier lifestyle so you
00:05:48.31\00:05:52.11
can give me a pill or something?
00:05:52.14\00:05:53.24
Oh no it's not
that easy - Oh! shut up!
00:05:53.27\00:05:55.03
It is not that easy.
00:05:55.06\00:05:56.12
If it was that easy there were
be no disease in this world,
00:05:56.15\00:05:58.95
I mean all of us just eat some
apples and we're good you know.
00:05:58.98\00:06:02.00
It is not that easy
because diet is one part of it,
00:06:02.03\00:06:05.26
but especially when we
are working with different
00:06:05.29\00:06:07.29
addictions and items like that.
00:06:07.32\00:06:08.62
After we do our session,
because in a workplace you
00:06:08.65\00:06:11.59
cannot talk about
Christian views and stuff,
00:06:11.62\00:06:13.57
we offer consultations.
00:06:13.60\00:06:15.31
Then when we work with
individuals on a one-to-one
00:06:15.34\00:06:17.58
basis, than it is like we
open up a can of veggie worms,
00:06:17.61\00:06:21.53
you know what I mean!
00:06:21.56\00:06:22.53
It just starts popping
out and person who had high
00:06:22.54\00:06:24.58
blood pressure or
something like that is not just
00:06:24.61\00:06:27.12
because they have
been eating too much salt.
00:06:27.15\00:06:28.94
Maybe they had another
situation - porn addiction
00:06:28.97\00:06:32.15
porn addiction or other
situations that when stress
00:06:32.18\00:06:35.70
is involved in it,
stress alone will cause
00:06:35.73\00:06:38.46
the pressure to go up.
00:06:38.49\00:06:39.74
So we looked at that and
try to identify the true core,
00:06:39.77\00:06:42.08
the true character of
that situation, then by God's
00:06:42.11\00:06:44.88
grace let's eliminate
that problem and then we
00:06:44.91\00:06:48.07
can look at some things in
our diet and stuff like that
00:06:48.10\00:06:50.38
You're going to hate
the next thing I have
00:06:50.41\00:06:51.78
to say to you - okay.
00:06:51.81\00:06:52.81
You are just a baby,
you're just a baby, what got you
00:06:52.84\00:06:55.94
into this - let's say
that we are all children
00:06:55.97\00:06:58.71
of Christ, so I figure
I'm in the same category.
00:06:58.74\00:07:01.39
Yes! I'm not as
mature if you want to put it
00:07:01.42\00:07:05.64
that way - as blessed in years.
00:07:05.67\00:07:07.41
Right! Right! But what
happens is I've had a chance to
00:07:07.44\00:07:10.71
taken advantage of
the opportunity of my mom.
00:07:10.74\00:07:13.32
Even though I did not
turn out the best, she did
00:07:13.35\00:07:15.57
anything and
everything on the block.
00:07:15.60\00:07:17.50
5 kids, 4 dads, that only
tells you about one addiction.
00:07:17.53\00:07:21.96
She tried every and any
drug, a matter of fact even when
00:07:21.99\00:07:24.91
she was pregnant with me,
she was out 6 months drinking.
00:07:24.94\00:07:28.20
She fainted and the bartender
said Miss, which is more
00:07:28.23\00:07:33.89
important to you, that
Vodka or what's in your stomach?
00:07:33.92\00:07:37.17
Your baby - or the
baby and it was a little
00:07:37.20\00:07:40.63
wake-up call for her.
00:07:40.66\00:07:41.90
If you notice I'm off a
little bit, if something is
00:07:41.93\00:07:45.11
wrong here you'll understand
why, I'm just kidding.
00:07:45.14\00:07:47.29
So to me the fact that
you have that background so
00:07:47.32\00:07:52.09
you'll understand that what I
am saying, everything matters.
00:07:52.12\00:07:54.65
In addiction and
recovery everything matters.
00:07:54.68\00:07:56.92
When I first got into
addiction and the recovery what
00:07:56.95\00:08:00.91
was really interesting
to me was, somebody said,
00:08:00.94\00:08:02.78
you have to drink more water.
00:08:02.81\00:08:04.11
I'm thinking oh
yuck! Give me some Tequila.
00:08:04.14\00:08:06.80
That is definitely true
we work with a lot of our
00:08:06.83\00:08:10.60
clients who, as a matter
of fact I just came back from
00:08:10.63\00:08:13.72
one of my clients, they
were severely dehydrated.
00:08:13.75\00:08:17.35
All they want is Pepsi,
they love, I can't call the
00:08:17.38\00:08:23.10
name, but a certain kind
of drink that they mix up.
00:08:23.13\00:08:25.92
They will drink every
other poison and they are
00:08:25.95\00:08:28.94
concerned about
drinking tap water.
00:08:28.97\00:08:31.20
There are too much
contaminants in the pipes, I'm
00:08:31.23\00:08:34.46
like wait a second you
just drank that Pepsi and
00:08:34.49\00:08:36.59
the first ingredient is acid.
00:08:36.62\00:08:38.75
So why are you not
concerned about that?
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.88
But yes it's definitely
all involved, for those who
00:08:40.91\00:08:44.79
are recovering, they may
skip out on that item they
00:08:44.82\00:08:48.16
were dealing with, that
addiction before but have
00:08:48.19\00:08:50.15
substituted now with
the biggest addiction which
00:08:50.18\00:08:52.64
is probably caffeine - right!
00:08:52.67\00:08:54.31
Or sugar or different
items like that, or - so you are
00:08:54.34\00:08:57.55
saying now you must have
been to a twelve step group.
00:08:57.58\00:08:59.79
Twelve step group I came
in, but clouds of smoke that
00:08:59.82\00:09:04.47
came out of that
room was amazing.
00:09:04.50\00:09:05.84
People were slamming
coffee, smoking cigarettes and
00:09:05.87\00:09:08.16
eating like pastries or chips.
00:09:08.19\00:09:10.14
I'm thinking, I can even
use my brain, I can't even
00:09:10.17\00:09:14.09
think and I need
to stay in recovery.
00:09:14.12\00:09:17.30
I am begging people now to
pay attention to that because
00:09:17.33\00:09:21.67
you cannot, you are going
to trip yourself up just by
00:09:21.70\00:09:24.59
coffee, cigarettes, caffeine
and all that kind of stuff.
00:09:24.62\00:09:27.48
True recovery is not
eliminating just that one
00:09:27.51\00:09:32.95
situation, true recovery
is not just transitioning
00:09:32.98\00:09:36.01
your past addiction
to another addiction
00:09:36.04\00:09:38.09
if you follow me there.
00:09:38.12\00:09:39.29
True recovery is abstaining
or freedom from all other
00:09:39.32\00:09:43.52
items, not substituting
my drugs, or my alcohol.
00:09:43.55\00:09:47.16
Some people don't realize
that shopping is an addiction.
00:09:47.19\00:09:49.85
Oh stop! Your off the
show. If I known you were going
00:09:49.88\00:09:56.62
there you wouldn't even
been invited - I'm sorry.
00:09:56.65\00:09:58.85
And the reason I mention
that, the reason I mention that
00:09:58.88\00:10:01.31
it's because a lot of times
I work with certain clients,
00:10:01.34\00:10:03.76
ladies, who have
severe high cholesterol.
00:10:03.79\00:10:07.51
Why do I have high cholesterol
I'm eating right, I'm a
00:10:07.54\00:10:10.86
total vegetarian and we
look at the whole situation,
00:10:10.89\00:10:13.66
come to find out they
have to work 17 hours a day.
00:10:13.69\00:10:16.22
So they can pay their
credit cards off - so ask the
00:10:16.25\00:10:18.87
question, why do
you work so much.
00:10:18.90\00:10:20.33
Well I have over $8,000
dollars in credit card bills.
00:10:20.36\00:10:23.65
Which credit card,
a certain store brand,
00:10:23.68\00:10:26.83
and I'm like is
that really necessary?
00:10:26.86\00:10:29.36
So we helped them -
everything matters - right
00:10:29.39\00:10:31.27
everything matters we
can help them with their
00:10:31.30\00:10:32.91
cholesterol but that
did not solve the problem.
00:10:32.94\00:10:35.97
We could have helped them with
heroin, we can helped them with
00:10:36.00\00:10:38.39
crack or whatever, but
what is the true cause,
00:10:38.42\00:10:40.28
what is the true
cause of that problems?
00:10:40.31\00:10:42.56
So once you identify the
true cause that is there, then
00:10:42.59\00:10:45.35
they won't, because what
happened with that certain
00:10:45.38\00:10:47.45
client, she switched
from shopping to eating.
00:10:47.48\00:10:50.77
So not she's not
spending big money on clothes,
00:10:50.80\00:10:53.56
but what happened now
she is spending big money
00:10:53.59\00:10:56.59
on going out to restaurants.
00:10:56.62\00:10:57.92
I'm like we didn't - and
gaining weight, and adding on
00:10:57.95\00:11:00.94
those extra
blessings you know what I mean!
00:11:00.97\00:11:02.94
Which causes low self
extreme which causes you want to
00:11:02.97\00:11:04.83
shop - and then what happens
it comes right back around
00:11:04.86\00:11:07.50
and she ends up
doing the same thing again.
00:11:07.53\00:11:09.80
It's a whole picture,
she said what shall we do.
00:11:09.83\00:11:12.92
Number one yes we have to
pray, God has given us certain
00:11:12.95\00:11:16.08
guidelines to accept Him
and remove yourself from these
00:11:16.11\00:11:19.62
things, but remember
you have to have a plan.
00:11:19.65\00:11:21.80
If you don't have a plan
you're just setting yourself
00:11:21.83\00:11:24.12
up for trouble - Amen!
00:11:24.15\00:11:25.12
What I love, when I
first saw you administering as
00:11:25.13\00:11:29.36
far as health goes, I
kept thinking I have to have
00:11:29.39\00:11:31.78
you on the show because
I love the fact of giving
00:11:31.81\00:11:34.03
people freedom to understand
that everything matters.
00:11:34.06\00:11:36.68
If I'm going to stop a
certain addiction, never drink
00:11:36.71\00:11:41.60
anything but water
for the first month.
00:11:41.63\00:11:43.86
That sounds like it's
really going to kill some one,
00:11:43.89\00:11:46.98
but actually it's
going to give you health.
00:11:47.01\00:11:48.59
It is being able to say
that just add one or two
00:11:48.62\00:11:52.11
things in that actually
will help you to start to get
00:11:52.14\00:11:54.36
your body
thinking clearly again.
00:11:54.39\00:11:56.98
Your addictions will
then fall off easier.
00:11:57.01\00:11:58.95
Here's another situation,
you remove yourself from that
00:11:58.98\00:12:01.85
problem but then you
predispose yourself because now
00:12:01.88\00:12:05.10
you're doing all the
chocolate cakes in the world.
00:12:05.13\00:12:07.55
And then I love that -
I'm sorry, so now you are
00:12:07.58\00:12:12.07
doing all the chocolate
cakes in the world and you
00:12:12.10\00:12:13.77
have an increased
amount of sugar which sends
00:12:13.80\00:12:15.60
you on a super high real quick.
00:12:15.63\00:12:17.29
In a couple minutes or an
hour you will come crashing
00:12:17.32\00:12:19.95
right back down, now
you are depressed again.
00:12:19.98\00:12:21.70
Actually some people
switch it out with - but
00:12:21.73\00:12:23.97
you don't have to
worry about that because
00:12:24.00\00:12:25.76
I can take an antidepressant.
00:12:25.79\00:12:26.97
You see there we go again,
we consider medication a mop
00:12:27.00\00:12:31.47
to the problem.
00:12:31.50\00:12:32.91
Me and my buddies always
say if you go inside of a
00:12:32.94\00:12:34.75
kitchen in the sink is
clogged up in the water faucet
00:12:34.78\00:12:38.47
is on and the water is
overflowing, what is the first
00:12:38.50\00:12:40.54
thing we are going to do?
00:12:40.57\00:12:41.54
Are we going to start mopping,
are we going to turn off
00:12:41.55\00:12:43.39
the faucet, are we going
unplug the faucet, which one?
00:12:43.42\00:12:45.64
It's like hopefully I'm
going to go and try to unplug
00:12:45.67\00:12:48.89
stuff - right so you can
unplug which is one solution.
00:12:48.92\00:12:52.67
Medicine comes in
and just start mopping.
00:12:52.70\00:12:55.02
What we suggest is to get
to the source of the problem.
00:12:55.05\00:12:57.57
Let's turn off
the what? The faucet!
00:12:57.60\00:13:00.12
Then un-plug, and that I'm
plugging is what we are going
00:13:00.15\00:13:03.29
to be talking about detoxifying.
00:13:03.32\00:13:04.64
We unplug this situation,
cleaning out the body, then we
00:13:04.67\00:13:08.45
are going to go
ahead and mop up.
00:13:08.48\00:13:09.57
So we got to the source
of the problem and what the
00:13:09.60\00:13:11.56
medication does
it keeps mopping.
00:13:11.59\00:13:13.24
What happens, it
keeps overflowing.
00:13:13.27\00:13:14.96
So we are into 2008 now, right!
00:13:14.99\00:13:17.83
I just saw a study in
the study was showing how the
00:13:17.86\00:13:21.38
antidepressants are so not
working, you know most of the
00:13:21.41\00:13:25.23
country is taking
different antidepressants.
00:13:25.26\00:13:27.60
And I'm exaggerating for
sure a lot of people are taking
00:13:27.63\00:13:30.94
them and the studies are
showing that they did just kind
00:13:30.97\00:13:33.78
of mop up the water.
00:13:33.81\00:13:34.86
Didn't do anything else -
it didn't solve the problem.
00:13:34.89\00:13:36.76
It didn't solve the
problem and so the fact that we
00:13:36.79\00:13:39.83
really can solve the
problem if we pay attention.
00:13:39.86\00:13:42.88
Pay attention and start
doing some simple things.
00:13:42.91\00:13:45.70
That is the ultimate goal.
00:13:45.73\00:13:47.10
What do you mean by a schedule?
00:13:47.13\00:13:48.84
Man there is nothing better
than every morning spending
00:13:48.87\00:13:51.45
that little quality, said
little it should be a lot of
00:13:51.48\00:13:54.62
quality time with God.
00:13:54.65\00:13:56.47
If you don't do that
you just might as well quit.
00:13:56.50\00:13:59.24
You might as well run to
the local store by all the junk
00:13:59.27\00:14:01.80
food or do this
because you set yourself up,
00:14:01.83\00:14:04.50
so that quality time
is the most important.
00:14:04.53\00:14:06.48
Second item, lowers
tell people sometimes like to
00:14:06.51\00:14:09.59
exercise before
I spend that time.
00:14:09.62\00:14:11.82
And the reason why is that
a lot of people wake up n the
00:14:11.85\00:14:13.68
morning and grab their
Bibles and say Lord I'm going to
00:14:13.71\00:14:16.15
study Your work today and
an hour later they are asleep.
00:14:16.18\00:14:20.41
They are in the word literally.
00:14:20.44\00:14:21.56
So we say go out and get
some fresh air, clean your
00:14:21.59\00:14:24.94
system and eliminate the
toxins - get the sun on your
00:14:24.97\00:14:27.62
skin - yeah and get that
run in and start off with a
00:14:27.65\00:14:30.61
good solid, solid breakfast.
00:14:30.64\00:14:33.01
So we start with the spiritual
food and now we need to
00:14:33.04\00:14:35.51
make sure we at
the physical food.
00:14:35.54\00:14:37.62
Now I don't want to miss
this one thing I didn't realize
00:14:37.65\00:14:39.88
in recovery is I think
for years I didn't breath.
00:14:39.91\00:14:44.45
You know my breathing was
so shallow and when somebody
00:14:44.48\00:14:47.21
said let me teach you to
breath, and I'm thinking what
00:14:47.24\00:14:49.81
are you talking
about, how crazy is that.
00:14:49.84\00:14:51.50
Talk about just breathing
when you go out and walk and
00:14:51.53\00:14:53.73
take a breath, what
kind of things does that do?
00:14:53.76\00:14:56.87
Oh it clears out the whole
system, expands the lungs and
00:14:56.90\00:15:00.95
you get good breaths as well.
00:15:00.98\00:15:02.44
Once you get fresh air,
or oxygen getting into the
00:15:02.47\00:15:05.35
system, you have
better circulation.
00:15:05.38\00:15:07.41
A lot of people if you
look a lot, those that are
00:15:07.44\00:15:11.30
dealing with depression,
you barely see them outside.
00:15:11.33\00:15:14.20
Real shallow breaths, you
just, when you take a deep
00:15:14.23\00:15:18.60
breath you don't have
no choice but to rise up.
00:15:18.63\00:15:21.23
So people say wait a second,
rise up physically and also
00:15:21.26\00:15:24.86
you have a whole new
outlook and that is one item.
00:15:24.89\00:15:27.70
Did you also know that
the air inside of your house,
00:15:27.73\00:15:30.06
is more likely contaminated
than the air outside?
00:15:30.09\00:15:33.86
So I just came from
the city New York city.
00:15:33.89\00:15:36.72
Everybody says I can't go
exercising, I said why not?
00:15:36.75\00:15:38.44
Because it's polluted outside.
00:15:38.47\00:15:39.65
It is more polluted
inside your home and if you stay
00:15:39.68\00:15:41.65
inside your home you may
jump back on the computer, you
00:15:41.68\00:15:44.14
may jump on the refrigerator,
there is a whole bunch of
00:15:44.17\00:15:48.47
things that happened.
00:15:48.50\00:15:49.58
So we need to get outside
and there is something about it.
00:15:49.61\00:15:51.93
People say well
should I go to a gym?
00:15:51.96\00:15:53.36
Gyms are okay, but God
has given you a free gym,
00:15:53.39\00:15:58.04
go outside, do
you know what I mean!
00:15:58.07\00:15:59.58
You know some gyms
charge you 50, 60 dollars and
00:15:59.61\00:16:02.34
you can use that money
to support God's Ministry,
00:16:02.37\00:16:04.51
3ABN or something, you know.
00:16:04.54\00:16:06.12
Go outside and get the
fresh air, get in the sunlight.
00:16:06.15\00:16:08.95
The sunlight hits the
skin and converts that into
00:16:08.98\00:16:11.06
nice vitamin D, it's
helps the whole system the
00:16:11.09\00:16:13.75
bones and items like
that because a lot of
00:16:13.78\00:16:15.49
people who deal with
depression sooner or later are
00:16:15.52\00:16:16.90
going to deal with weak bones.
00:16:16.93\00:16:18.49
Let me just say for people
that, and I really want to
00:16:18.52\00:16:22.22
say for people that are
not in good shape, that really
00:16:22.25\00:16:24.92
have physically got themselves
into a place where walking or
00:16:24.95\00:16:27.84
getting outside and exercising
is just beyond what they
00:16:27.87\00:16:29.89
can do, go outside
and sit on the porch.
00:16:29.92\00:16:32.45
Go sit on a step in it,
if the first step is just to
00:16:32.48\00:16:37.24
sit, sit with the
sun hitting your skin.
00:16:37.27\00:16:39.87
Get up and get
out, people say huh!
00:16:39.90\00:16:43.48
Get up and get out, if
that is all you do you will have
00:16:43.51\00:16:47.01
done something good there.
00:16:47.04\00:16:48.11
Huge difference, and take
a deep breath, and literally
00:16:48.14\00:16:52.22
for some of us that
first couple times taken a deep
00:16:52.25\00:16:55.39
breath and getting used to
that, it literally hurts your
00:16:55.42\00:16:57.90
lungs because you aren't
used to expanding it like that.
00:16:57.93\00:17:00.39
We have to open up items
like that so people don't
00:17:00.42\00:17:02.85
come if you don't take
deep breaths for extended
00:17:02.88\00:17:05.72
periods of time sooner or
later when you get a cold or
00:17:05.75\00:17:07.64
something pneumonia
says in there in a heartbeat.
00:17:07.67\00:17:09.90
That is definitely one
aspect that is crucial, crucial
00:17:09.93\00:17:14.50
I have to say,
because some people will even
00:17:14.53\00:17:17.73
say to me, Cheri
aren't you over exaggerating
00:17:17.76\00:17:21.08
the importance of this,
and I just want to beg you
00:17:21.12\00:17:24.42
I wish that we
could show a PET scan
00:17:24.45\00:17:26.48
of our brains, and
the amount of activity
00:17:26.52\00:17:29.45
in our brains when
we are strung out and
00:17:29.49\00:17:32.39
not exercising we are
not using our frontal lobe's.
00:17:32.42\00:17:35.53
When you start doing a
little bit of exercise, a little
00:17:35.56\00:17:38.00
bit of going outside and
taking some breaths, we start
00:17:38.03\00:17:40.26
our frontal lobes working again.
00:17:40.29\00:17:41.89
All that starts to improve
in every single decision we make
00:17:41.92\00:17:46.47
in my recovery come
from our frontal lobe.
00:17:46.50\00:17:48.34
If my frontal lobes
aren't working it is
00:17:48.37\00:17:50.66
harder for me to recover.
00:17:50.69\00:17:52.08
Not impossible but
definitely harder and
00:17:52.11\00:17:54.45
I going to relapse more often.
00:17:54.48\00:17:56.13
We can't express how
important it is to do that.
00:17:56.16\00:17:59.99
As a matter of fact, I
know some people don't like it,
00:18:00.02\00:18:02.35
but they have even shown
that those who have drink and
00:18:02.38\00:18:05.89
smoke but exercised on a
daily basis are sometimes in
00:18:05.92\00:18:10.72
better health than those
who eat right their whole lives.
00:18:10.75\00:18:14.63
Total vegetarian whatever
you want to call it, vegan
00:18:14.66\00:18:17.50
whoever, but never exercise.
00:18:17.53\00:18:19.37
Can you believe that! Shut up!
00:18:19.40\00:18:20.48
I'm like wait a
second, you're telling me that
00:18:20.51\00:18:22.22
these past ten years,
preaching the health message
00:18:22.25\00:18:25.32
but never smoking and
telling people if they need
00:18:25.35\00:18:28.65
to do better, but
because I don't exercise that
00:18:28.68\00:18:30.23
those who are drinking
and smoking but exercising
00:18:30.26\00:18:33.06
are in better condition than me?
00:18:33.09\00:18:34.43
I said man that is
serious - so this shows the
00:18:34.46\00:18:37.25
importance - all that matters.
00:18:37.28\00:18:39.93
Everything is involved, we
are not saying go out drink
00:18:39.96\00:18:43.13
smoke and then exercise -
because you know I was just
00:18:43.16\00:18:45.30
going out and buy some
cigarettes because I love the
00:18:45.33\00:18:47.28
smoke - I have to
put that disclaimer in.
00:18:47.31\00:18:49.93
I'm not going then -
but that is one aspect.
00:18:49.96\00:18:54.25
So of course we
have to trust in God,
00:18:54.28\00:18:56.34
that is the
most important thing.
00:18:56.37\00:18:57.78
Then we went out and got
some fresh air and exercise,
00:18:57.81\00:18:59.68
were following a schedule,
but now after we did all that
00:18:59.71\00:19:02.56
we come back home and
pop a certain donut company,
00:19:02.59\00:19:06.47
can't say any names but
we're popping donuts - you know
00:19:06.50\00:19:08.61
what he is talked about
and you know what I mean nice
00:19:08.64\00:19:10.59
sweet ones that burn my
teeth and I'll still eat more.
00:19:10.62\00:19:13.99
we'll pop that and then take
some coffee and wash it down.
00:19:14.02\00:19:18.06
Is just like the law is
you mess up all one you mess up
00:19:18.09\00:19:23.03
on the them, however we
are not saying to just give up
00:19:23.06\00:19:25.96
just because you haven't done
everything, because everything
00:19:26.00\00:19:27.61
is new every day.
00:19:27.64\00:19:28.61
Right all matters, I love
that, if you don't mind I'll use
00:19:28.63\00:19:31.44
that every time, everything
matters just keep trying,
00:19:31.47\00:19:34.91
keep making steps.
00:19:34.94\00:19:36.02
If you are content you are
not in a good situation, the
00:19:36.05\00:19:39.42
only contentness you want
to be is in the arms of God.
00:19:39.45\00:19:41.72
In your home you always
need to strive to do better.
00:19:41.75\00:19:45.87
So of course that
meal is so important,
00:19:45.90\00:19:48.38
let's flush the system.
00:19:48.42\00:19:49.39
So that cleans you
out, detoxes is your liver,
00:19:49.43\00:19:51.77
kidneys, literally your
whole system then just wakes up.
00:19:51.80\00:19:58.11
It works for you
in your recovery.
00:19:58.14\00:20:00.29
Right for sure, the situation
that I mention a little
00:20:00.32\00:20:03.43
bit earlier here come is
those that are transitioning
00:20:03.46\00:20:05.76
off of these items, with
drugs and items like that.
00:20:05.79\00:20:08.99
You are so sweet items,
like heroin, sex, cigarettes.
00:20:09.02\00:20:12.25
You don't have
to call by its name
00:20:12.28\00:20:14.55
because everybody understands.
00:20:14.58\00:20:16.02
When they come over, yes
some damage has taken place,
00:20:16.05\00:20:19.55
and in because they were
so extremely area when they
00:20:19.58\00:20:22.68
came over, they are
extreme in the new area and this
00:20:22.71\00:20:25.12
is why in the health area
temperance is so important.
00:20:25.15\00:20:27.61
So wait, wait, wait, so
I'm in a heroine addict in
00:20:27.64\00:20:30.23
recovery what is temperance.
00:20:30.26\00:20:31.98
We know as some people I
can just tell you about a
00:20:32.01\00:20:35.80
good close friend of
mine who is dealing with crack
00:20:35.83\00:20:37.55
cocaine and items like that.
00:20:37.59\00:20:38.82
This it wasn't
your mom again was it?
00:20:38.85\00:20:41.49
No, as he made the transition
he came over when he learned
00:20:41.52\00:20:48.07
about health and stuff
like that, he went so gung ho.
00:20:48.10\00:20:50.91
He found out that carrots
was good for cleaning out the
00:20:50.94\00:20:53.74
system, he drunk so
much carrots as his eyes were
00:20:53.77\00:20:56.54
orange, his skin was
orange, I mean he just went from
00:20:56.57\00:20:59.23
going crazy on this drug
and going crazy over carrots.
00:20:59.26\00:21:04.02
Of course there are more
studies that need to take place
00:21:04.05\00:21:06.32
but certain items have been
damaged, and so because that
00:21:06.35\00:21:09.30
person has messed up in
that area there their senses or
00:21:09.33\00:21:13.85
their intellectual
responses in certain things is a
00:21:13.88\00:21:18.35
little bit more extreme.
00:21:18.38\00:21:20.16
Because now they have
found Jesus and they don't want
00:21:20.19\00:21:22.12
to stop talking and it
is great, but sometimes you
00:21:22.15\00:21:24.60
have to cut them back
and say hey you need to be
00:21:24.63\00:21:26.94
a little bit more moderate.
00:21:26.97\00:21:27.94
You can understand that,
it's physiological why they
00:21:27.95\00:21:31.74
are doing with that
situation, because some things
00:21:31.77\00:21:33.84
were damaged in the past.
00:21:33.87\00:21:35.25
But does that mean that God
forgot about us, no not at all.
00:21:35.28\00:21:37.73
So what we will do as we
bring it over, we need to
00:21:37.76\00:21:40.23
follow, it needs
to be will balanced
00:21:40.26\00:21:41.71
we need to do it properly.
00:21:41.74\00:21:42.85
If you know what I
mean - exactly, exactly!
00:21:42.88\00:21:45.08
And what is interesting
is that somebody told me in
00:21:45.11\00:21:47.72
the first part of my
recovery is that Cheri don't
00:21:47.75\00:21:49.97
think about what you change
in everything, change one thing.
00:21:50.00\00:21:54.20
One thing this month so
I added vegetables which
00:21:54.23\00:21:58.16
I thought was going to kill me.
00:21:58.19\00:21:59.38
I added to my plate,
veggies, I took out room from my
00:21:59.41\00:22:02.33
plate, so something
had to not be there.
00:22:02.36\00:22:04.24
Literally as I added
one thing at a time it
00:22:04.27\00:22:07.65
pushed away what was unhealthy.
00:22:07.68\00:22:10.83
I didn't stop
smoking, in my recovery,
00:22:10.86\00:22:12.40
for like 5 years.
00:22:12.43\00:22:13.56
I was baptized and hiding
in my car smoking my brains
00:22:13.59\00:22:16.47
out, so literally I had
to do one thing at a time.
00:22:16.50\00:22:21.62
One thing, and I always
encourage if we want to start
00:22:21.65\00:22:24.62
with anything, after we
started trusting in God and
00:22:24.65\00:22:26.89
getting the victory you
need to start some rest.
00:22:26.92\00:22:29.77
Nothing else is going to
work unless you are resting.
00:22:29.80\00:22:32.26
Of course we know, the
day of rest, the next rest
00:22:32.29\00:22:37.24
is on a daily basis,
some of us are addicts of
00:22:37.27\00:22:39.76
going to bed late.
00:22:39.79\00:22:40.98
People say what! If I
asked anybody what time did
00:22:41.01\00:22:45.07
you go to bed last night?
00:22:45.10\00:22:46.60
None of us had gone
to bed before 10 o'clock,
00:22:46.63\00:22:49.65
this is this is almost a fact.
00:22:49.68\00:22:51.02
We are addicts, we are
my nocturnal addicts, we act
00:22:51.05\00:22:54.94
like bats, cats, and owls
if you are missing your rest,
00:22:54.97\00:22:59.99
you are in trouble because your
decision-making process the next
00:23:00.02\00:23:05.57
day, as you had
mentioned earlier, is off a bit,
00:23:05.61\00:23:07.66
you are not doing things
properly and the strength
00:23:07.69\00:23:09.71
that you need to
resist the inclinations
00:23:09.75\00:23:12.20
to avoid that
addiction is weakened.
00:23:12.23\00:23:14.65
And a study just came
out that I was blown away
00:23:14.68\00:23:18.39
by is that
serotonin is a neuro chemical
00:23:18.42\00:23:21.80
response in your brain.
00:23:21.83\00:23:23.08
It puts off endorphins
and endorphins is what
00:23:23.11\00:23:25.86
makes you feel good. Right!
00:23:25.89\00:23:27.10
If you go to bed after
midnight all your serotonin
00:23:27.13\00:23:31.02
for the next day
didn't get produced.
00:23:31.05\00:23:34.49
Serotonin of production is
from 8 to midnight, and only
00:23:34.52\00:23:37.73
if you're sleeping.
00:23:37.76\00:23:38.74
I'm like oh God please
don't say that is true.
00:23:38.77\00:23:41.04
You hit on the relation
of the serotonin and the
00:23:41.07\00:23:43.32
melatonin is only
produced, you already mentioned
00:23:43.35\00:23:46.48
the serotonin, melatonin
is produced around 10 to 2.
00:23:46.52\00:23:49.62
Now this is funny I was
sharing this with one group and
00:23:49.65\00:23:51.88
in the pastor said guys
that's your healing hormone.
00:23:51.91\00:23:56.12
He said if you are not to
bed on time, just like Santa
00:23:56.15\00:23:59.61
Clause if you're not
sleeping, it's not coming.
00:23:59.64\00:24:01.92
You just missed
your healing for the day.
00:24:01.95\00:24:03.49
We are missing our healing
every day - and I've got to
00:24:03.52\00:24:07.07
ask, I got to beg
people to hear that,
00:24:07.10\00:24:09.99
because I didn't know that.
00:24:10.02\00:24:11.82
In the first part of my
recovery, I am trying to fight
00:24:11.85\00:24:13.93
for recovery, I'm trying
to do the right thing, and
00:24:13.96\00:24:16.43
think the right thing.
00:24:16.46\00:24:17.43
I can not think the right
thing if I'm not having this
00:24:17.44\00:24:20.64
production happened, and
God made it to where He said if
00:24:20.67\00:24:24.48
you take care of yourself,
drink some water and get
00:24:24.51\00:24:26.73
to bed on time, I naturally
put this in your body to
00:24:26.76\00:24:30.94
reproduce itself
every day, unless you do not
00:24:30.97\00:24:35.25
take care of yourself.
00:24:35.28\00:24:36.28
Unless you stay up all
night, or stay up until the wee
00:24:36.31\00:24:38.58
hours of the morning.
00:24:38.61\00:24:39.58
There are more
aspects - so why don't
00:24:39.59\00:24:41.87
you just take a Prozac then?
00:24:41.90\00:24:43.03
I know - you know what
you are right you can if you
00:24:43.06\00:24:46.61
want to have suicidal
thoughts, so it is your choice.
00:24:46.64\00:24:49.47
That is just what happens
- that's the side effects
00:24:49.50\00:24:52.69
from the drugs are huge and
God says if you do this in a
00:24:52.72\00:24:55.26
natural way the
side effects are health.
00:24:55.29\00:24:59.43
Quick fixes is quick
losses, you've gained a lot
00:24:59.46\00:25:02.82
and you lose a lot real quick.
00:25:02.85\00:25:04.63
The key here is almost
that old saying no pain no gain,
00:25:04.66\00:25:08.87
but the good news is the
Lord paid the price for us.
00:25:08.90\00:25:12.24
He took all the pain
already so all we have to do
00:25:12.27\00:25:14.54
is accept it now.
00:25:14.57\00:25:15.88
Once we accept
that then we make steps
00:25:15.91\00:25:18.49
slowly but surely.
00:25:18.52\00:25:19.94
Matter of fact you could
do it overnight if you have
00:25:19.97\00:25:21.83
the faith of a
what? Mustard seed!
00:25:21.86\00:25:24.48
If we have the sake to
say to the mountain to jump in
00:25:24.51\00:25:26.78
the ocean, can you imagine
an addiction to the Lord is
00:25:26.81\00:25:29.07
not a problem, but watch this.
00:25:29.10\00:25:30.83
The Lord even agreed
with simple natural remedies.
00:25:30.86\00:25:33.39
King Hezekiah begged for
more years, the Lord could have
00:25:33.42\00:25:39.14
just bought it and
Hezekiah could've been healed.
00:25:39.18\00:25:41.34
But what did the Lord do?
00:25:41.37\00:25:42.59
The Lord said I need
you to do a little natural
00:25:42.62\00:25:45.30
remedy, get a lump of
figs and put it on the
00:25:45.33\00:25:48.32
area and then go wash off.
00:25:48.35\00:25:49.98
He saw the man who was blind
all his life the Lord Jesus just
00:25:50.01\00:25:53.62
could've said go see them
and he could've been healed.
00:25:53.65\00:25:57.86
The Lord Himself even approved
of simple natural things,
00:25:57.89\00:26:00.85
in our environment,
in our society, in food.
00:26:00.88\00:26:02.67
The Lord did a little
poultice and mixed it up.
00:26:02.70\00:26:06.27
This is a natural
remedy, it was a treatment.
00:26:06.30\00:26:07.98
and told him to wash it off,
so even the Lord approves of it.
00:26:08.01\00:26:10.56
You know I'm just thinking
out loud, I think the Lord
00:26:10.59\00:26:14.71
allowed these things, or
used these measures because
00:26:14.74\00:26:17.58
sometimes when He heals
us or He takes away these
00:26:17.61\00:26:20.59
addictions so quick and
we have not put any effort
00:26:20.62\00:26:24.40
into it, what happens to us?
00:26:24.43\00:26:26.12
We go right back and do
the same thing again - exactly!
00:26:26.15\00:26:28.80
So sometimes He gives us
- and the Bible says it's
00:26:28.83\00:26:31.12
like a dog
returning to its vomit.
00:26:31.15\00:26:32.77
He gives us a little
time to work at it, try, pain,
00:26:32.80\00:26:37.20
take it a step at a time.
00:26:37.23\00:26:38.73
The man who was beside
the pool of Bethesda for
00:26:38.76\00:26:41.71
how many years, many years.
00:26:41.74\00:26:43.72
The Lord could have
easily healed him and He did,
00:26:43.75\00:26:47.52
only as he accepted the
faith, He took away his problem.
00:26:47.55\00:26:50.82
He said get up and go walk.
00:26:50.85\00:26:52.44
But when He caught up with
him later that day I'm sure
00:26:52.47\00:26:54.88
that guy was jumping for
joy, oh my goodness I've been
00:26:54.91\00:26:57.12
sick for so many
years and now I'm healed.
00:26:57.15\00:26:58.84
The Lord said now that
you have been made whole,
00:26:58.87\00:27:01.01
now that you feel
better, please don't go back
00:27:01.04\00:27:03.30
and make the same mistake.
00:27:03.33\00:27:04.44
If you do - don't eat
any of those donuts again.
00:27:04.47\00:27:06.47
Stay away from that ice
cream - if you fall back
00:27:06.50\00:27:10.30
into that addiction, it
says it comes even worse,
00:27:10.33\00:27:13.08
sometimes 7 times worse.
00:27:13.11\00:27:14.91
So now I just left
donuts but if I go back to those
00:27:14.94\00:27:17.64
donuts, have a donut,
the chocolate this and that
00:27:17.67\00:27:19.64
then I'm going to need some
caffeine, I'm going to need this
00:27:19.67\00:27:22.39
then I'm going to talk
about this, I'm going to
00:27:22.42\00:27:25.12
desire more spices.
00:27:25.15\00:27:26.71
Did you know there is
a direct relation between
00:27:26.74\00:27:28.88
using spices and alcohol.
00:27:28.91\00:27:30.96
It is a direct relation,
as you use more salt and
00:27:30.99\00:27:35.67
spices, it increases your
desire to drink at mealtime.
00:27:35.70\00:27:39.75
If you continue to
drink at mealtime it causes
00:27:39.78\00:27:41.76
intestinal
fermentation, but you desire
00:27:41.79\00:27:43.79
also a more intense stimulant.
00:27:43.82\00:27:47.52
So simpler we can get,
especially during recovery,
00:27:47.55\00:27:52.52
the easier our
recovery is going to be.
00:27:52.55\00:27:55.44
If we put in rest and
exercise and stuff like that
00:27:55.47\00:27:58.77
we are going be able to
use our frontal lobes more.
00:27:58.80\00:28:00.91
Okay so I'm going to
open up because we are
00:28:00.94\00:28:02.51
are running out of time.
00:28:02.54\00:28:03.51
I'm going to open up
for questions, I'm just
00:28:03.52\00:28:06.52
going to say I know
that there are a number of
00:28:06.55\00:28:09.44
you that have questions.
00:28:09.47\00:28:10.44
J. D. we are going to
start with you, do you have
00:28:10.45\00:28:12.94
anything that you
would like to ask Nyce?
00:28:12.97\00:28:14.20
First of all I just love
it that God is the God of
00:28:14.23\00:28:18.02
new beginnings and I
believe that with all my heart.
00:28:18.05\00:28:20.32
I also love that
phrase it everything matters.
00:28:20.35\00:28:22.79
The question that I
have for you Nyce is what do
00:28:22.82\00:28:26.96
we do after detoxification?
00:28:26.99\00:28:29.89
Is there a plan?
00:28:29.92\00:28:31.64
The first step, everybody is
in detoxification, how do you
00:28:31.67\00:28:38.07
detoxify and stuff like that.
00:28:38.10\00:28:39.66
Do I need to take this
herbal cleanse, do I need to do
00:28:39.69\00:28:41.68
this, do I need to
clean out everything?
00:28:41.71\00:28:43.53
Well not quite, I never
saw Jesus given somebody
00:28:43.56\00:28:47.75
a secret remedy
and put it in and they
00:28:47.78\00:28:50.40
flush everything out.
00:28:50.43\00:28:51.67
Not quite, He takes
care of you naturally is
00:28:51.71\00:28:54.47
what I can say, I have veggie's
best kept secret that everyone
00:28:54.50\00:28:58.64
can use and the reason why
we are a little hesitant about
00:28:58.67\00:29:01.27
detoxifiers, one of
my accountant actually
00:29:01.30\00:29:05.08
went and did this
herbal, special detoxification
00:29:05.12\00:29:07.86
something, I don't know what
00:29:07.90\00:29:09.71
happened, all I
know is that he did it.
00:29:09.74\00:29:11.44
And the next day
he was in the hospital
00:29:11.47\00:29:13.68
his kidneys had shut down.
00:29:13.71\00:29:14.95
So a person who has
been in an abusive situation,
00:29:14.98\00:29:18.86
the body has taken a
beating, they cannot now turn
00:29:18.89\00:29:23.14
around and go and bombard
it again, even though its
00:29:23.17\00:29:26.53
natural items natural
supplements and stuff like that.
00:29:26.56\00:29:29.08
One of veggies best-kept
secret, and we talked about it
00:29:29.11\00:29:32.21
before it is artichokes.
00:29:32.24\00:29:34.09
Artichokes takes care of
the liver, and the reason
00:29:34.12\00:29:36.71
why we want to look at the
liver is the liver goes ahead
00:29:36.74\00:29:38.92
and filters and helps clean.
00:29:38.95\00:29:40.04
So anybody who is coming
off a drug addiction or any item
00:29:40.07\00:29:43.36
like that - I love artichokes
- is that right - yes.
00:29:43.39\00:29:46.69
Artichoke is the best,
diabetes, high blood pressure,
00:29:46.72\00:29:49.60
but especially it
detoxifies the liver naturally.
00:29:49.63\00:29:54.60
So what's this you
just go ahead and eat it,
00:29:54.63\00:29:56.80
incorporate it into your
diet, and I'll share with you
00:29:56.83\00:29:58.80
guys a little tip or
two how we can prepare it.
00:29:58.83\00:30:00.59
Everybody sees it and
doesn't know how to use it,
00:30:00.62\00:30:02.55
but hey let's go
ahead and do that.
00:30:02.58\00:30:04.83
Also you would not think
it but radishes is fantastic.
00:30:04.86\00:30:08.68
Though spicy things are
good spice because it goes in
00:30:08.71\00:30:11.73
hot a little bit
but never comes out hot.
00:30:11.76\00:30:14.23
If I can say that, that
goes ahead and promotes a bile
00:30:14.26\00:30:20.26
secretion and goes ahead
and eliminates toxins as well.
00:30:20.29\00:30:23.98
After you have done that
what you want to make sure to
00:30:24.01\00:30:26.77
do is follow a complete meal.
00:30:26.80\00:30:28.34
Folks fruit in the
morning is not breakfast.
00:30:28.37\00:30:31.43
Fruits alone, you have
to eat, we are not rabbits,
00:30:31.46\00:30:35.48
we are humans.
00:30:35.51\00:30:36.84
So after you have your
nice fruits and items like that,
00:30:36.87\00:30:41.11
you need to follow up with
some kind of a whole-grain.
00:30:41.14\00:30:43.84
Did you know that whole
grains is one of the best thing
00:30:43.87\00:30:45.40
for a person who is
coming off of addiction, or
00:30:45.43\00:30:47.93
depression, or
mental disorders, anything.
00:30:47.96\00:30:49.95
A whole-grain, what are
the whole grains, your oats,
00:30:49.98\00:30:52.22
your brown rice,
whole wheat pasta,
00:30:52.25\00:30:54.13
all these are whole grains.
00:30:54.16\00:30:55.28
Enjoy them, make your
own granola and items like
00:30:55.31\00:30:59.16
that and finished
off with a good handful
00:30:59.19\00:31:01.76
of raw unsalted nuts.
00:31:01.79\00:31:04.29
Whether they beat
Brazil nuts, almonds, cashews,
00:31:04.32\00:31:06.64
pine nuts, don't go
home with out it you
00:31:06.67\00:31:11.42
need to include pine nuts.
00:31:11.45\00:31:12.44
You know they are doing a
study now with black walnuts,
00:31:12.47\00:31:14.84
it helps lift depression.
00:31:14.87\00:31:16.97
All nuts as well, a
little surprise or something,
00:31:17.00\00:31:21.32
we are going to do something
a matter of fact with walnuts.
00:31:21.35\00:31:23.41
I always tell people,
what a walnut looks like,
00:31:23.44\00:31:25.42
when you look at the Walnut
it looks like what! the brain.
00:31:25.45\00:31:28.67
So what is it good for,
it's good for the brain.
00:31:28.70\00:31:30.98
We are the surprise is
and it is so amazingly cool,
00:31:31.01\00:31:34.36
we are going to as a
group take a break and then we
00:31:34.39\00:31:38.61
are going to meet up in
the kitchen and Nyce is going
00:31:38.64\00:31:42.22
to show us
exactly what does he mean.
00:31:42.25\00:31:44.11
How do we prepare
foods for healing,
00:31:44.14\00:31:47.55
or foods for
helping in our recovery.
00:31:47.58\00:31:48.94
So this is going to be
the coolest segment ever and
00:31:48.97\00:31:51.93
we are going to
meet up in the kitchen.
00:31:51.96\00:31:54.38
The secret for us is we
are literally going to take a
00:31:54.41\00:31:57.63
break, change, go
get something to eat up.
00:31:57.66\00:31:59.85
You are just going to
have a little tiny break
00:31:59.88\00:32:02.26
and come right back!
00:32:02.29\00:32:03.98
