Hi, and you're now with
The Forerunner Chronicles.
00:01:58.68\00:02:02.75
Alright everybody, did you
know, or at least have you ever
00:02:02.78\00:02:06.42
considered that since
the beginning of this world
00:02:06.45\00:02:09.62
to this very time, and I'm
talking about a span of some
00:02:09.66\00:02:12.79
6000 plus years here, there
has not been one invention,
00:02:12.83\00:02:17.43
not one invention, that has
been conceived by the greatest
00:02:17.47\00:02:22.14
efforts of human ingenuity that
can even begin to come close in
00:02:22.17\00:02:26.61
paralleling the absolute
excellence of the organic
00:02:26.64\00:02:30.31
machinery known
as the human body.
00:02:30.35\00:02:33.21
All of us, you and I, we are the
products of divine development.
00:02:33.25\00:02:39.39
The Bible tells us in the book
of Psalm 139:14, I will praise
00:02:39.42\00:02:46.53
thee; for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made:
00:02:46.56\00:02:49.86
marvelous are thy works; and
that my soul knoweth right well.
00:02:49.90\00:02:54.47
Now what I'm going to share with
you next is a thought that I
00:02:54.50\00:02:57.64
don't want you to ever forget.
00:02:57.67\00:02:59.47
I want it to resonate in your
mind for as long as you live.
00:02:59.51\00:03:02.84
Are you ready for
this? Well, here it is.
00:03:02.88\00:03:06.35
I don't care what you
may have learned in school.
00:03:06.38\00:03:08.98
And I don't care what
you possibly may have heard
00:03:09.02\00:03:12.39
and learned in your own home.
00:03:12.42\00:03:14.76
You are not the
product of somebody's mistake.
00:03:14.79\00:03:19.19
You did not come into
existence by happenstance.
00:03:19.23\00:03:23.97
You are the product of the
careful, loving, methodical,
00:03:24.00\00:03:28.87
painstaking efforts
of the God Almighty.
00:03:28.90\00:03:32.21
God has brought you into
existence for the purpose of
00:03:32.24\00:03:36.04
fulfilling some infinite
design in His eternal kingdom,
00:03:36.08\00:03:40.45
because you are
fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:03:40.48\00:03:44.69
And for this reason alone, all
of the combined assets of the
00:03:44.72\00:03:50.03
financial institutions in
our world could not even begin
00:03:50.06\00:03:54.23
to accumulate a sum that is
sufficient to equal the worth
00:03:54.30\00:03:58.07
of one human being.
00:03:58.10\00:04:00.17
And I praise God for that.
00:04:00.20\00:04:02.10
But you know, there's another
reason in the Scriptures why
00:04:02.14\00:04:05.07
we are worth so much
more than anything that
00:04:05.11\00:04:07.98
this world could offer.
00:04:08.01\00:04:09.38
The Bible tells us in the
book of 1 Corinthians 6:19:
00:04:09.41\00:04:15.22
How many of us honesty consider
on a day by day basis that we
00:04:32.10\00:04:38.54
were created by God to be
the living temple of the third
00:04:38.57\00:04:42.88
person of the godhead?
00:04:42.91\00:04:44.85
This is not just
an awesome thought;
00:04:44.88\00:04:47.45
this is an awesome reality.
00:04:47.48\00:04:49.88
An awesome reality which
brings me to my next point.
00:04:49.92\00:04:53.39
The Bible tells us in the book
of 1 Kings 6, that King Solomon
00:04:53.42\00:04:58.43
took upon himself the work
of building a temple for God.
00:04:58.46\00:05:02.30
And, of course, this
was a physical structure.
00:05:02.33\00:05:05.57
But when choosing the materials
that would make up this
00:05:05.60\00:05:08.74
structure, Solomon chose the
very best materials out of his
00:05:08.77\00:05:12.84
treasure house, and out of
the world, that would optimize
00:05:12.87\00:05:16.51
the beauty, and the durability
of that physical building.
00:05:16.54\00:05:21.48
And after he erected the
temple for God, and prayed,
00:05:21.52\00:05:25.05
and consecrated it to the
service of God, we are told in
00:05:25.09\00:05:28.92
1 Kings 8:11, that the glory
of the Lord filled the house.
00:05:28.96\00:05:34.83
The glory of the
Lord filled the temple.
00:05:34.83\00:05:38.03
This is an important
point for us to consider.
00:05:38.07\00:05:41.24
Because if Solomon would
take such care in choosing the
00:05:41.27\00:05:45.31
materials that would optimize
the beauty, and the durability
00:05:45.34\00:05:49.54
of that physical building, how
much more careful should we be
00:05:49.58\00:05:54.72
in choosing how
we treat our bodies?
00:05:54.75\00:05:57.55
What we place within our bodies,
which were made by the hands
00:05:57.59\00:06:01.12
of God Himself, to be His living
temple, so that we can show
00:06:01.16\00:06:05.56
forth His glory in this world.
00:06:05.59\00:06:08.00
Do you know the Bible teaches
exactly what I said to you?
00:06:08.03\00:06:11.50
In the book of 1 Corinthians
10: 31, we are told, whether
00:06:11.53\00:06:17.44
therefore ye eat, or ye
drink, or whatsoever ye do,
00:06:17.47\00:06:21.88
do all to the glory of God.
00:06:21.91\00:06:25.41
This means that we cannot just
eat any type of food that we
00:06:25.45\00:06:29.95
want to eat, because
we like the taste of it,
00:06:29.98\00:06:32.79
or drink any types of beverages,
for that matter, as well.
00:06:32.82\00:06:36.42
Our health is
extremely important.
00:06:36.46\00:06:39.33
Our minds are the only medium
through which the Spirit of God
00:06:39.36\00:06:43.03
can communicate to us.
00:06:43.06\00:06:44.40
And our bodies are the
instruments that God uses to
00:06:44.43\00:06:47.87
spread His love in this world.
00:06:47.90\00:06:49.24
Therefore, when we make our
choices about what type of food
00:06:49.27\00:06:53.07
we'll ingest, or what type
of substances we'll place within
00:06:53.11\00:06:56.71
our bodies, we need to be
certain that these things will
00:06:56.75\00:07:01.25
minister to us having optimal
health, so that we can give
00:07:01.28\00:07:05.65
optimal glory to God.
00:07:05.69\00:07:07.72
The key word here is optimal.
00:07:07.76\00:07:10.39
God requires of us to keep
our bodies in good condition,
00:07:10.43\00:07:15.56
and He knows in exactly
what condition He has given each
00:07:15.60\00:07:19.80
and every one of us our bodies.
00:07:19.83\00:07:21.84
The Bible tells us in the book
of Psalm 139:16, Thine eyes did
00:07:21.87\00:07:28.74
see my substance,
yet being imperfect;
00:07:28.78\00:07:31.91
and in thy book all
my members were written,
00:07:31.95\00:07:35.48
which in
continuance were fashioned,
00:07:35.52\00:07:37.92
when as yet
there was none of them.
00:07:37.95\00:07:40.06
Before we even came into
existence, God already had an
00:07:40.09\00:07:44.19
accurate record of our lungs,
our hearts, our intestines,
00:07:44.23\00:07:47.93
our kidneys, our livers, all
of these things, and He requires
00:07:47.96\00:07:52.70
of us to keep
them in good condition.
00:07:52.73\00:07:54.80
He is going to require this at
each and every one of our hands.
00:07:54.84\00:07:59.37
What have we done
with His possession?
00:07:59.41\00:08:02.58
The Bible tells us in the
book of 2 Corinthians 5:10,
00:08:02.61\00:08:08.15
This means that
whatever we do in these bodies
00:08:19.69\00:08:23.26
that impacts our moral health,
as well as our physical health,
00:08:23.30\00:08:27.07
all of these things
will be brought before
00:08:27.10\00:08:28.94
us in the judgment.
00:08:29.20\00:08:30.54
And this makes it imperative
that we clearly understand,
00:08:30.57\00:08:34.51
and obey by faith all of God's
moral laws, as well as all of
00:08:34.54\00:08:39.88
God's health laws, which
He has set in place to govern
00:08:39.91\00:08:43.89
our physical beings.
00:08:43.92\00:08:45.55
How many people
have this knowledge?
00:08:45.59\00:08:47.82
How many people in our world
truly have a working knowledge
00:08:47.86\00:08:52.39
of proper healthcare principles?
00:08:52.46\00:08:55.00
Millions of people every
year are dying because they lack
00:08:55.03\00:08:58.53
knowledge in this
one area: healthcare.
00:08:58.57\00:09:01.27
The Bible tells us in Hosea
4:6, My people are destroyed
00:09:01.30\00:09:06.91
for lack of knowledge.
00:09:06.94\00:09:08.44
And we can see how
this text applies to this
00:09:08.54\00:09:11.65
issue of healthcare.
00:09:11.68\00:09:13.01
Because day in and day
out people are being overtaken
00:09:13.05\00:09:16.48
by disease and all manner
of healthcare issues, because
00:09:16.52\00:09:20.59
1. They lack knowledge on
how to maintain their health.
00:09:20.62\00:09:24.63
And then 2. They lack knowledge
on how to restore their health
00:09:24.66\00:09:29.46
once they lose their health due
to habitual unhealthy practices.
00:09:29.50\00:09:34.34
And, by the way, is the
presently popular system of
00:09:34.37\00:09:38.44
healthcare that is dominant
in our world at this time
00:09:38.47\00:09:42.54
really the best way?
00:09:42.58\00:09:44.18
And you can't make
a guess on this thing.
00:09:44.21\00:09:46.45
You can't say, I think so,
it seems right, I'm not sure.
00:09:46.48\00:09:49.52
It's not safe to do that on this
issue; an issue upon which hangs
00:09:49.55\00:09:53.62
the lives of millions.
00:09:53.66\00:09:55.26
The Bible tells us in the book
of Proverbs 16:25, There's a way
00:09:55.29\00:10:00.53
that seemeth right to a
man, but the end thereof
00:10:00.56\00:10:03.40
are the ways of death.
00:10:03.43\00:10:04.80
So really and truly, is this
the proper method of healthcare
00:10:04.83\00:10:09.04
that is dominate in
our world at this time?
00:10:09.07\00:10:12.17
Well, to give us a little bit of
help on answering this question,
00:10:12.21\00:10:15.94
I sat down with a good
friend and colleague of mine,
00:10:16.01\00:10:19.15
author, educator, and registered
healthcare professional,
00:10:19.18\00:10:22.92
Ron Menhart, and he had
some very interesting insights
00:10:22.95\00:10:26.65
to share with me, and, of
course, I'm going to share it
00:10:26.69\00:10:29.36
with you at this
time. Take a look.
00:10:29.39\00:10:31.99
I'd like to take you back
to a model that I discovered
00:10:32.03\00:10:36.03
a few years ago dealing with
the ideal healthcare system.
00:10:36.06\00:10:39.67
This was actually put out by
the U. S. Public Health Service
00:10:39.70\00:10:43.30
a couple of decades ago.
00:10:43.34\00:10:44.67
And what it did was it looked
at resources and how we can best
00:10:44.71\00:10:48.31
use our resources; how we
can best allocate our resources.
00:10:48.34\00:10:52.15
And it actually put
these, stratified these,
00:10:52.21\00:10:56.25
in like a pyramid.
00:10:56.28\00:10:57.62
And the pyramid is actually,
it has several layers on it.
00:10:57.65\00:11:02.52
The first layer is the
primary form of healthcare
00:11:02.56\00:11:08.20
we should be practicing.
00:11:08.23\00:11:09.56
The second, the third, and
the fourth stratifications are
00:11:09.60\00:11:14.04
actually less and less resources
we need to put into these
00:11:14.07\00:11:17.44
various components of
the ideal healthcare system.
00:11:17.47\00:11:20.98
Well, let's start at the base.
00:11:21.01\00:11:22.41
The base of the
pyramid is actually a form of
00:11:22.44\00:11:26.25
wellness education.
00:11:26.28\00:11:27.85
Now it makes sense for us
to keep people well, right?
00:11:27.88\00:11:31.79
Not just to treat
them when they're sick.
00:11:31.82\00:11:34.16
In fact, if we could keep a
population relatively healthy
00:11:34.19\00:11:38.19
we need to spend less,
and less amount on actual
00:11:38.23\00:11:41.70
treatments in healthcare.
00:11:41.73\00:11:43.13
It makes a lot of
sense, both economically,
00:11:43.16\00:11:46.23
and socially, and morally even.
00:11:46.27\00:11:49.67
Now moving up this
pyramid we have the second
00:11:49.70\00:11:52.97
stratification here.
00:11:53.01\00:11:54.34
This is primary healthcare.
00:11:54.38\00:11:55.71
Now even with the
best wellness education
00:11:55.78\00:11:58.18
people will still get sick.
00:11:58.21\00:12:00.28
What happens
when people get sick?
00:12:00.32\00:12:02.18
They need to go to a qualified
practitioner; someone who knows
00:12:02.22\00:12:07.66
how to help them get back
into that level of wellness
00:12:07.69\00:12:11.93
which they have fallen
from, or risen to in this model.
00:12:11.96\00:12:16.53
And so what happens is
with the ideal healthcare system
00:12:16.56\00:12:21.07
there's also an ideal
practitioner who is focused on
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.11
wellness, who is bringing
their patient back down into a
00:12:24.17\00:12:27.98
state of wellness.
00:12:28.01\00:12:29.34
Even with a practitioner who is
focused on wellness, on bringing
00:12:29.38\00:12:33.78
their patient into a level
of wellness in which they can
00:12:33.82\00:12:37.35
actually just
live life normally,
00:12:37.39\00:12:40.12
and actually
prosper and be in health.
00:12:40.16\00:12:42.02
Even with this, there sometimes
is a progression of disease.
00:12:42.06\00:12:47.73
And so what we need
ideally is another backup.
00:12:47.76\00:12:51.57
This backup is
secondary healthcare.
00:12:51.60\00:12:54.77
Secondary healthcare, for
example, would be something
00:12:54.80\00:12:58.77
like an overnight stay in
a hospital, or a visit with a
00:12:58.81\00:13:02.74
more specialized doctor; someone
who has a little bit more
00:13:02.78\00:13:06.61
knowledge in-depth in
one system in the body,
00:13:06.68\00:13:10.82
who's able to help, of course,
bring that person back to a
00:13:10.85\00:13:14.46
state of wellness.
00:13:14.49\00:13:15.82
This is the ideal
to have people well.
00:13:15.86\00:13:17.89
Now even with the best
of secondary healthcare,
00:13:17.93\00:13:20.96
there may still be some who
kind of fall through the cracks,
00:13:20.96\00:13:24.60
who continue to
progress in illness.
00:13:24.63\00:13:27.80
And so what happens here
is we need another backup.
00:13:27.84\00:13:30.74
What if that person who went to
their physician went to the more
00:13:30.77\00:13:34.18
specialized physician dealing
with high blood pressure,
00:13:34.24\00:13:38.25
and complications actually
had a heart attack, or a stroke,
00:13:38.28\00:13:42.25
because of their
high blood pressure?
00:13:42.28\00:13:44.15
What would they need to do?
00:13:44.19\00:13:45.52
They would need to actually
go and receive even more
00:13:45.55\00:13:48.32
specialized healthcare.
00:13:48.36\00:13:49.89
And so basically what would need
to happen is they would need
00:13:49.92\00:13:53.63
to go and have some
kind of highly specialized,
00:13:53.66\00:13:57.90
very expensive treatment done.
00:13:57.97\00:14:00.34
And, you know, it is
needed in some cases.
00:14:00.37\00:14:05.17
But what we actually have in
our current system is a total
00:14:05.24\00:14:10.15
reverse of this ideal.
00:14:10.18\00:14:13.18
What we have is
the most expensive,
00:14:13.28\00:14:15.65
most highly
specialized treatments taking up
00:14:15.68\00:14:19.72
the most resources.
00:14:19.75\00:14:21.86
How did this happen?
00:14:21.89\00:14:23.93
Well, the Bible tells us
the love of money is the root
00:14:23.96\00:14:27.36
of all kinds of evil.
00:14:27.40\00:14:28.70
And we can see that this
system is a profit based system.
00:14:28.73\00:14:32.10
So what is the result
of this type of system?
00:14:32.13\00:14:35.77
this not ideal, or
less than ideal system?
00:14:35.80\00:14:39.41
Well, it's very, very sad.
00:14:39.44\00:14:42.18
The average 75 year old suffers
from three chronic, debilitating
00:14:42.21\00:14:47.78
conditions, and takes over
five prescription medications.
00:14:47.82\00:14:52.15
And this is just the average.
00:14:52.19\00:14:53.56
There are many who take
much, much more medication.
00:14:53.62\00:14:57.36
In fact we call
this term polypharmacy.
00:14:57.39\00:15:01.10
It gets to a point where they
take so many medications that
00:15:01.13\00:15:04.93
we don't even know what the
interactions are going to cost.
00:15:05.00\00:15:07.80
We don't know what side effects.
00:15:07.84\00:15:09.34
So many of these
people are actually suffering
00:15:09.37\00:15:12.07
they're debilitating.
00:15:12.11\00:15:13.74
Their debility is even
increasing because of the
00:15:13.78\00:15:16.54
medications they're on,
because of the treatments
00:15:16.61\00:15:19.38
they're receiving, because
of all this mixture going on.
00:15:19.41\00:15:22.35
But they're really suffering the
most because they've not been
00:15:22.38\00:15:25.95
educated into how to stay
well, how to prevent disease,
00:15:25.99\00:15:30.86
how to enjoy life without
being in bonds, in bondage
00:15:30.89\00:15:35.66
to medication, to physicians,
to the medical establishment.
00:15:35.70\00:15:41.70
So what it really comes down to
is that disease is profitable.
00:15:41.74\00:15:47.71
In fact if you were to look
at the top four diseases that
00:15:47.74\00:15:51.78
Americans suffer from today,
and you looked at the total
00:15:51.81\00:15:55.78
amount of revenue
that's generated by these,
00:15:55.82\00:16:00.16
it gets close to 800
billion dollars per year.
00:16:00.19\00:16:04.39
800 billion dollars!
00:16:04.43\00:16:06.33
Imagine if all of that was put
over into wellness education.
00:16:06.39\00:16:10.07
We need to ask
ourselves, are we even treating
00:16:10.10\00:16:13.03
our patients correctly?
00:16:13.07\00:16:14.64
Are we promoting health, or
are we confining them indoors,
00:16:14.67\00:16:19.74
shut away from
fresh air and sunlight,
00:16:19.77\00:16:22.78
and the enjoyment of nature,
and bringing about a further
00:16:22.81\00:16:26.58
state of debility just
by keeping them indoors?
00:16:26.61\00:16:30.22
And are hospitals
even healthy to begin with?
00:16:30.29\00:16:33.86
I mean think of the concept.
00:16:33.89\00:16:35.22
We're putting most of
our resources into hospital
00:16:35.26\00:16:39.43
type environments.
00:16:39.46\00:16:40.80
So most of the people that get
sick in this not so ideal system
00:16:40.83\00:16:44.27
are going to the hospital.
00:16:44.30\00:16:45.73
And so if you're a person
that has cancer, let's say,
00:16:45.77\00:16:48.87
would you want to be in a room
right next to someone who has
00:16:48.90\00:16:52.04
the Ebola virus, or
AIDS, or HIV, Hepatitis,
00:16:52.07\00:16:56.68
any of these things? Ideally no.
00:16:56.71\00:17:00.12
Ideally you would want to
be somewhere away from other
00:17:00.15\00:17:03.92
people that are sick, that have
viruses, that have bacteria,
00:17:03.95\00:17:06.99
that have fungal infections.
00:17:07.06\00:17:08.89
You want to be away from them.
00:17:08.92\00:17:10.76
Now what happens is when we
coop up all of our ill in the
00:17:10.79\00:17:14.93
same place, we
have things happening;
00:17:14.93\00:17:16.90
this transmission
of disease going on.
00:17:16.93\00:17:19.43
It's actually referred
to as nosocomial infections.
00:17:19.47\00:17:23.24
Now in terms of nosocomial
infection deaths per year,
00:17:23.30\00:17:27.01
we have something like 80,000
deaths per year due to hospital
00:17:27.04\00:17:32.81
acquired infections.
00:17:32.85\00:17:34.68
What about medications?
00:17:34.72\00:17:36.75
Are medications
really that safe?
00:17:36.79\00:17:38.69
In hospital medications
ideally should be the most safe.
00:17:38.72\00:17:44.56
Did you know that even in the
hospital we have over 200,000
00:17:44.59\00:17:50.33
deaths per year due
to medication errors,
00:17:50.37\00:17:54.60
and medication toxicity.
00:17:54.64\00:17:57.31
200,000 deaths per year.
00:17:57.34\00:17:59.91
Add up all of the minutia in
terms of hospitalization based
00:17:59.94\00:18:06.05
death, and you have a
greater danger even than stroke.
00:18:06.08\00:18:11.29
In fact, how many of
you know someone who has
00:18:11.32\00:18:13.79
died from a stroke?
00:18:13.82\00:18:15.16
For every one person that you
know that's died from a stroke
00:18:15.19\00:18:19.03
there are two more that have
died from a hospitalization,
00:18:19.09\00:18:22.96
from a hospital stay.
00:18:23.00\00:18:24.97
The number is astounding.
00:18:25.00\00:18:26.90
Let's take another
look at pharmaceuticals.
00:18:26.94\00:18:29.14
You see, in the current
system pharmaceuticals are the
00:18:29.17\00:18:33.38
treatment of choice.
00:18:33.41\00:18:35.11
In fact, in the whole allopathic
paradigm pharmaceuticals are
00:18:35.14\00:18:39.98
really the only way that's seen
as a qualified treatment for
00:18:40.02\00:18:46.76
those ill that are
suffering from chronic
00:18:46.79\00:18:49.46
disease, and so on.
00:18:49.49\00:18:50.83
Now are medications really safe?
00:18:50.86\00:18:54.23
We know that there are
side effects to about every
00:18:54.30\00:18:56.33
medication that you can take.
00:18:56.36\00:18:58.00
But did you know that
many of these are deadly?
00:18:58.03\00:19:00.84
In fact if you were to take
all of the data that has been
00:19:00.87\00:19:05.11
compiled in research, and
you compiled it all together;
00:19:05.14\00:19:09.28
you looked at in hospital
medication error related death,
00:19:09.31\00:19:13.42
you looked at drug
toxicity related death,
00:19:13.45\00:19:17.12
you looked at
outpatient drug related deaths,
00:19:17.19\00:19:20.82
and these are all
legal drug related.
00:19:20.86\00:19:22.76
These are not, we're not
talking about illegal drugs.
00:19:22.79\00:19:26.36
If you added all
of these together,
00:19:26.39\00:19:28.63
they are on a very conservative
level even, you would have
00:19:28.66\00:19:34.60
something like 500,000
deaths per year related to total
00:19:34.64\00:19:40.54
legal drug deaths:
500,000 deaths per year.
00:19:40.58\00:19:47.02
Now this is a
conservative estimate.
00:19:47.05\00:19:50.39
There are some who have
said we may even have close to a
00:19:50.42\00:19:53.42
million deaths per year related
to drugs, related to legal drug
00:19:53.46\00:19:58.86
use prescription
medication, over the
00:19:58.89\00:20:01.10
counter pharmaceuticals.
00:20:01.13\00:20:03.20
When we look at this total
amount of drug related deaths,
00:20:03.23\00:20:07.70
anywhere from 500,000 to
a million deaths per year
00:20:07.74\00:20:11.47
related to drug use,
and this is legal drug use,
00:20:11.51\00:20:15.01
we find
something very startling.
00:20:15.04\00:20:17.38
Tobacco accounts for over one
half a million deaths per year.
00:20:17.41\00:20:22.95
When we compare this with legal
drug usage, we find something
00:20:22.98\00:20:28.46
very interesting, and that
is that total legal drug use
00:20:28.49\00:20:33.83
surpasses tobacco in
terms of its death toll.
00:20:33.86\00:20:37.77
Now we all know that
tobacco is dangerous.
00:20:37.80\00:20:41.77
But how many of you knew
that drugs were taking this many
00:20:41.80\00:20:45.94
Americans lives each year?
00:20:45.97\00:20:48.18
And it's not only in America,
it's all over the world.
00:20:48.21\00:20:50.81
Because allopathy has
dominated medical practice
00:20:50.85\00:20:54.22
throughout the globe.
00:20:54.25\00:20:56.28
If you look at the way our
economy is going, it's set up
00:20:56.32\00:21:00.96
right now that
health care is just growing,
00:21:00.99\00:21:03.26
and growing, and growing.
00:21:03.32\00:21:04.66
And experts actually predict
that if it keeps growing at
00:21:04.69\00:21:08.00
this rate, we will not be able
to compete with foreign markets.
00:21:08.03\00:21:12.73
Our economy will be
totally destroyed by this system
00:21:12.77\00:21:18.94
that is
destroying people's lives.
00:21:18.97\00:21:21.04
In terms of treatment,
is there a better way?
00:21:21.11\00:21:26.45
Is there another option?
00:21:26.48\00:21:29.35
I would submit to
you that there is.
00:21:29.38\00:21:31.52
There are many
alternatives to pharmaceuticals.
00:21:31.55\00:21:35.66
In fact in the
early 1900's many of these
00:21:35.69\00:21:38.26
alternatives were practiced.
00:21:38.29\00:21:39.96
However, now allopathy
stands alone in its preeminence,
00:21:40.00\00:21:45.30
and also in its dominance
in using, and forcing others to
00:21:45.33\00:21:50.67
use this treatment paradigm,
and that is prescription drugs,
00:21:50.71\00:21:54.71
over the counter drugs, under
the counter drugs, you name it.
00:21:54.78\00:21:58.78
It all has to do with drugs.
00:21:58.81\00:22:00.35
But what it really comes down to
is that we are still looking for
00:22:00.38\00:22:06.35
a profit, a way of
profiting due to treatment.
00:22:06.39\00:22:10.19
Now many people could just
go outside and get some sunlight
00:22:10.23\00:22:14.46
and decrease
their risk for cancer.
00:22:14.50\00:22:16.53
In fact, experts recommend
moderate sunlight exposure,
00:22:16.56\00:22:21.04
and they actually estimate
that over 100,000 cancer deaths
00:22:21.07\00:22:25.47
per year could be
prevented if adequate sunlight
00:22:25.51\00:22:29.91
exposure took place.
00:22:29.98\00:22:31.95
Now this is a very
benevolent thought.
00:22:31.98\00:22:36.58
But, unfortunately, many
people are actually put on other
00:22:36.62\00:22:40.12
prescriptions for
preventative measures.
00:22:40.16\00:22:44.53
The allopathic mindset is very
much a drug dependent mindset.
00:22:44.56\00:22:49.70
Are we truly focused on
bringing our patients into a
00:22:49.73\00:22:54.27
state of wellness?
00:22:54.30\00:22:55.64
Well, I won't leave
that up to conjecture.
00:22:55.67\00:22:59.47
In fact a recent gallop poll
actually looked at patients who
00:22:59.51\00:23:04.11
had recently seen a physician,
and they actually came apart
00:23:04.15\00:23:08.68
from their physician.
00:23:08.72\00:23:10.05
50% of them had not received
any counsel whatsoever about
00:23:10.09\00:23:16.93
fitness and/or
wellness. That's 50%.
00:23:16.96\00:23:20.43
That's not even asking someone,
Do you get a chance to walk
00:23:20.50\00:23:24.60
every now and then?
00:23:24.63\00:23:25.97
That's not even asking someone,
Would you consider losing
00:23:26.00\00:23:29.17
a little bit of weight?
00:23:29.24\00:23:30.57
It's not even asking
someone, Are you having any
00:23:30.61\00:23:35.78
medication side effects?
00:23:35.81\00:23:37.78
You see, when it really comes
down to it, our physicians,
00:23:37.81\00:23:42.38
our little army of physicians
here in the United States today
00:23:42.42\00:23:46.99
is so overwhelmed with
generating, and keeping the
00:23:47.02\00:23:52.26
gears turning on
this huge conglomerate,
00:23:52.29\00:23:54.63
this huge healthcare
system, this profit based system
00:23:54.66\00:23:57.87
that they have less and
less time that they can even
00:23:57.90\00:24:01.10
get these words out.
00:24:01.17\00:24:02.50
It's not just their
fault; it's the system.
00:24:02.54\00:24:04.97
There are many excellent
physicians out there today,
00:24:05.04\00:24:08.14
many physicians I
truly respect and love,
00:24:08.18\00:24:10.88
and I enjoy working with, but
the vast majority is uneducated
00:24:10.91\00:24:16.69
in terms of
wellness, in terms of fitness,
00:24:16.72\00:24:19.75
and in terms of prevention.
00:24:19.82\00:24:21.46
It's time to wake up.
00:24:21.49\00:24:23.66
Well, if you're anything like
me, after hearing this type of
00:24:23.69\00:24:31.20
factual information, you
may be saying to yourself,
00:24:31.23\00:24:34.24
Where do I go from here?
00:24:34.27\00:24:36.07
And that's why I want
to share with you Newstart.
00:24:36.10\00:24:39.34
What Newstart is is eight
principles; eight laws of health
00:24:39.41\00:24:43.55
that were given to us by God.
00:24:43.58\00:24:45.68
And these eight laws of health,
they are not only effective
00:24:45.71\00:24:49.82
in aiding us to maintain good
health, but they are just as
00:24:49.85\00:24:54.26
effective in aiding us to combat
disease, or any healthcare
00:24:54.29\00:24:58.63
issues that we
may be faced with.
00:24:58.66\00:25:00.96
So get a pen and
paper, because here they are:
00:25:00.96\00:25:03.26
Law 1. Nutrition: The vegetarian
diet is the best way to lose
00:25:03.33\00:25:09.74
weight and to keep it off.
00:25:09.77\00:25:11.24
It improves health, decreases
disease, promotes longer life,
00:25:11.27\00:25:15.54
and it is more economical.
00:25:15.58\00:25:18.01
Eating generous
amounts of whole plant based
00:25:18.05\00:25:20.92
foods is good for us.
00:25:20.95\00:25:22.42
Law 2. Exercise: Now this
is very important for physical
00:25:22.45\00:25:27.79
and mental health as well.
00:25:27.82\00:25:29.82
Exercise lowers the heart
rate, and the blood pressure.
00:25:29.89\00:25:32.89
It controls appetite,
it burns up unwanted fats,
00:25:32.93\00:25:36.60
and it increases
the blood circulation,
00:25:36.63\00:25:38.90
and the oxygen intake, and of
course it improves muscle tone.
00:25:38.93\00:25:43.47
We need at least
45 to 60 minutes of
00:25:43.51\00:25:46.71
daily aerobic exercise.
00:25:46.74\00:25:48.38
Law 3. Water: Your
blood is about 90% water,
00:25:48.41\00:25:52.75
and it carries
nutrients to and from the cells.
00:25:52.78\00:25:57.05
The kidneys are dependent upon
having adequate water so they
00:25:57.09\00:26:01.56
can filter out waste products.
00:26:01.62\00:26:03.49
Many times common constipation,
headaches, and even backaches
00:26:03.53\00:26:08.60
can be relieved simply by
drinking sufficient water.
00:26:08.63\00:26:12.93
We need at least 8 to 10 eight
ounce glasses of water per day.
00:26:12.97\00:26:19.14
Law 4. Sunshine: One
of the most healing agents
00:26:19.17\00:26:23.95
of nature is the sun.
00:26:23.98\00:26:25.75
Sunshine forms
vitamin D in the skin.
00:26:25.78\00:26:28.22
It destroys
bacteria and viruses.
00:26:28.28\00:26:30.75
It increases
available white blood cells,
00:26:30.79\00:26:33.32
lowers blood pressure,
and lowers cholesterol and fat
00:26:33.36\00:26:37.13
levels in the blood.
00:26:37.16\00:26:38.59
Getting regular exposure to
early morning, or late afternoon
00:26:38.63\00:26:43.00
sunlight, while avoiding over
exposure to intense sunlight,
00:26:43.03\00:26:47.24
and burning is great
for our overall health.
00:26:47.27\00:26:50.81
Law 5. Temperance: Temperance is
avoiding that which is harmful
00:26:50.84\00:26:56.64
to our mental, physical, and
spiritual health, and using in
00:26:56.68\00:27:01.08
moderation those
things which are good for us.
00:27:01.12\00:27:03.79
This includes the proper
ratio of work and relaxation,
00:27:03.82\00:27:08.62
time for God, right
eating, and right thinking.
00:27:08.66\00:27:12.33
Law 6. Air: We are generally
benefited by negative ions,
00:27:12.36\00:27:18.27
which occur in
fresh outdoor air.
00:27:18.30\00:27:20.90
Breathe deeply of fresh air to
increase quantities of oxygen.
00:27:20.94\00:27:25.37
Enjoying regular outdoor
recreation, and breathing mostly
00:27:25.41\00:27:29.71
from the diaphragm will improve
the oxygenation of the blood.
00:27:29.74\00:27:33.98
Law 7. Rest: Every cell
in the body expends energy.
00:27:34.02\00:27:39.55
Rest helps us resupply these
cells with the energy they need.
00:27:39.59\00:27:43.93
Therefore sleeping at regular
times, and balancing hard work
00:27:43.96\00:27:48.23
with time for
relaxation is necessary.
00:27:48.26\00:27:51.23
And most importantly,
Law 8: Trust in God.
00:27:51.27\00:27:55.90
God has given us the
power of self government,
00:27:55.94\00:27:59.41
which is the freedom and
ability to make decisions.
00:27:59.44\00:28:02.78
We are unable to change our
hearts, but we can choose to
00:28:02.81\00:28:07.45
trust and obey God, and He
promises to work in us to give
00:28:07.48\00:28:12.09
us the desire and power
to live in harmony with Him.
00:28:12.12\00:28:15.96
By choosing to trust and
obey God, a total change will be
00:28:15.99\00:28:20.66
made in our lives.
00:28:20.96\00:28:22.26
It is only by the
strength of God that we can
00:28:22.30\00:28:25.57
live victorious lives.
00:28:25.60\00:28:27.77
Well, I hope
that you took notes.
00:28:27.80\00:28:30.24
And even more importantly,
I hope that you've already
00:28:30.27\00:28:33.68
planned to practice each one
of these eight laws of health
00:28:33.71\00:28:36.75
in your own personal
life, because they're practical,
00:28:36.78\00:28:40.42
they're
economical, and above all else,
00:28:40.45\00:28:43.28
they're divinely appointed.
00:28:43.32\00:28:44.65
The Bible tells us in 3 John:2,
Beloved, I wish above all things
00:28:44.69\00:28:50.26
that thou mayest
prosper and be in health,
00:28:50.29\00:28:53.50
even as thy soul prospereth.
00:28:53.53\00:28:55.96
And so my prayer for you is that
as you yield your heart to being
00:28:56.00\00:29:01.24
governed by our Lord
Jesus Christ day by day,
00:29:01.27\00:29:04.94
moment by moment, so that
you can receive power to obey
00:29:04.97\00:29:09.31
all of His moral laws.
00:29:09.34\00:29:11.15
I pray that as well you will
utilize that very same power
00:29:11.18\00:29:16.28
to be disciplined, to be serious
about practicing all of His
00:29:16.32\00:29:21.36
eight laws of health.
00:29:21.39\00:29:22.72
Because God desires
you to have good health,
00:29:22.76\00:29:25.09
and He wants you to experience
life, and life more abundantly.
00:29:25.13\00:29:29.46
