Isaiah 58:11 says,
00:00:01.06\00:00:04.23
"And the Lord shall
guide thee continually,
00:00:04.26\00:00:07.27
and satisfy thy soul in drought,
00:00:07.30\00:00:09.76
and make fat thy bones
00:00:09.79\00:00:11.87
and thou shalt be
like a watered garden,
00:00:11.90\00:00:14.98
and like a spring of
water, whose waters fail not."
00:00:15.01\00:00:19.84
Amen.
00:00:19.87\00:00:20.90
Praise the Lord.
What a wonderful promise.
00:00:20.93\00:00:22.78
Hello, I'm Rico Hill, the host
of "From Sickness to Health."
00:00:22.81\00:00:26.02
And I'm Sickness.
00:00:26.05\00:00:27.77
Hey, did you know that
00:00:27.80\00:00:29.33
70 percent of the
human body is water?
00:00:29.36\00:00:33.03
Therefore, like your
blood and your bones are water.
00:00:33.06\00:00:37.46
In fact the brain is
like 85 percent water.
00:00:37.49\00:00:40.05
Yeah, I knew that.
00:00:40.08\00:00:41.11
Did you also know
that if you just drink
00:00:41.14\00:00:44.14
at least eight
glasses of water everyday,
00:00:44.17\00:00:48.22
you'll cleanse
the body of toxins
00:00:48.25\00:00:50.81
and then you can reduce
your chances of being sick?
00:00:50.84\00:00:55.14
Oh, I knew that and that's
why I don't drink this stuff.
00:00:55.17\00:00:58.36
I don't want to reduce
the chance of me being me.
00:00:58.39\00:01:02.89
That wasn't that funny.
I'll tell you what's not funny.
00:01:02.92\00:01:05.75
People know
water's good for them
00:01:05.78\00:01:07.32
and they don't drink it.
00:01:07.35\00:01:08.43
They would
rather have soda and tea
00:01:08.46\00:01:10.29
and sugary
drink and this or that
00:01:10.32\00:01:12.36
and, you know what,
at the end of the day,
00:01:12.39\00:01:14.09
they just want a
little sugar in their water
00:01:14.12\00:01:16.05
with a little dye
like some fool-aid.
00:01:16.08\00:01:19.02
Wait a minute,
fool-aid. What is fool-aid?
00:01:19.05\00:01:21.44
Well, fool-aid
is when people think
00:01:21.47\00:01:22.91
something is good for them,
00:01:22.94\00:01:24.55
but it's got so
much sugar and dyes
00:01:24.58\00:01:27.12
that it's really not.
00:01:27.15\00:01:28.72
Fool-aid. Okay, wait a minute.
00:01:28.75\00:01:30.27
Let me see, if I can
wrap my brain around this.
00:01:30.30\00:01:32.17
Yeah, don't hurt yourself.
00:01:32.20\00:01:33.43
So you're saying
that a colored substance
00:01:33.46\00:01:36.30
that doesn't
really have any substance
00:01:36.33\00:01:39.05
is what you're calling fool-aid.
00:01:39.08\00:01:41.37
Exactly.
00:01:41.40\00:01:42.71
So does this
make you a fool-aid?
00:01:42.74\00:01:46.53
Yes.
00:01:46.56\00:01:48.25
Okay, I thought
I understood that.
00:01:48.28\00:01:50.33
So today, we're gonna
talk about not being fools
00:01:50.36\00:01:54.31
but actually understanding truth
00:01:54.34\00:01:56.31
about the real
thing and that's water.
00:01:56.34\00:02:00.34
Wait a second, I'm no fool.
00:02:00.37\00:02:02.04
I can say water in
multiple languages.
00:02:02.07\00:02:04.46
In Spanish "Agua,"
in German, "Wasser,"
00:02:04.49\00:02:07.18
in Chinese,
"Shui" and in Jamaican,
00:02:07.21\00:02:10.51
"Wata".
00:02:10.54\00:02:12.80
Clearly it's the food-aid.
00:02:12.83\00:02:16.85
Roll it.
00:02:16.88\00:02:17.91
Well, welcome and thank
you for joining us here on,
00:02:53.84\00:02:56.66
"From Sickness to Health,"
right here in the studio.
00:02:56.69\00:02:59.00
And I'm joined
today by Dr. Milton Mills
00:02:59.03\00:03:02.56
and we're gonna
talk about a subject
00:03:02.59\00:03:04.43
that it seems so simple
00:03:04.46\00:03:05.80
but a lot of people are
either neglect it or avoid it
00:03:05.83\00:03:08.94
or whatever the case may be.
00:03:08.97\00:03:10.73
But you're gonna
find that it is so simple
00:03:10.76\00:03:12.28
but yet it's so profound
00:03:12.31\00:03:13.93
in terms of its
impact on our health.
00:03:13.96\00:03:17.73
So I am excited about our guest,
00:03:17.76\00:03:20.51
Dr. Milton Mills, a
friend to this program.
00:03:20.54\00:03:23.30
He is at critical care physician
00:03:23.33\00:03:25.03
at the United Medical
Center in Washington DC,
00:03:25.06\00:03:28.48
but he's also the
associate director
00:03:28.51\00:03:31.21
for preventative medicine
00:03:31.24\00:03:33.09
for the Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine.
00:03:33.12\00:03:37.37
That means, he
is educating people
00:03:37.40\00:03:39.33
on how to be healthy and live.
00:03:39.36\00:03:41.98
So thank you for being
on the program with us.
00:03:42.01\00:03:44.04
Very happy to be here--
00:03:44.07\00:03:45.10
Hey, we're talking
about water today, aren't we?
00:03:45.13\00:03:46.71
Here's the water. Yes, to water.
00:03:46.74\00:03:51.11
So before we dive into
the subject about water
00:03:51.14\00:03:54.76
I like to refer to this
program as, never thirst again.
00:03:54.79\00:04:00.78
What do you call this water?
It's the "elixir of life."
00:04:00.81\00:04:03.78
The elixir of life, I like that.
00:04:03.81\00:04:06.38
Let's see what people
know about this elixir of life,
00:04:06.41\00:04:09.62
as we go to sickness
and get his take on it.
00:04:09.65\00:04:12.51
Sure.
00:04:12.54\00:04:15.01
Thank you, Rico.
00:04:15.04\00:04:16.49
I've got an amazing
concoction going on here today.
00:04:16.52\00:04:19.57
It's my own personal elixir.
00:04:19.60\00:04:21.85
You've probably heard of
tonic water and spring water.
00:04:21.88\00:04:24.65
Well, guess what,
00:04:24.68\00:04:26.18
I've got something
better than all of them.
00:04:26.21\00:04:28.52
It's called ta-da, blue water.
00:04:28.55\00:04:31.97
That's right, Rico.
00:04:32.00\00:04:34.82
You heard it here
first, blue water.
00:04:34.85\00:04:37.53
It's gonna be amazing.
It's the next big thing.
00:04:37.56\00:04:40.22
I'll tell you why,
it's in the market.
00:04:40.25\00:04:42.00
You see, you just add a little
blue dye or color to water,
00:04:42.03\00:04:45.27
even though it's bad
for you, people love it.
00:04:45.30\00:04:49.39
Case and point.
00:04:49.42\00:04:50.50
Hey, buddy,
00:04:50.53\00:04:51.69
you want a
little blue guy special?
00:04:51.72\00:04:57.51
Well, here you go.
00:04:57.54\00:05:01.20
Sure, blue water,
all right. Oh, yeah.
00:05:01.23\00:05:05.21
Go on, taste it.
00:05:05.24\00:05:08.53
It's a hit. This is great.
00:05:08.56\00:05:10.82
You know, the reason is,
00:05:10.85\00:05:11.93
because of some super
scientific ingredients
00:05:11.96\00:05:14.73
that were used
like, tartrazine 102,
00:05:14.76\00:05:17.02
Monosodium
glutamate 621, hydrochloride,
00:05:17.05\00:05:21.91
and phenylamine
and some blue dye.
00:05:21.94\00:05:25.02
Fantastic ingredients,
all of the good stuff.
00:05:25.05\00:05:27.74
You know, I think this
is gonna replace water.
00:05:27.77\00:05:30.16
People won't
even remember water.
00:05:30.19\00:05:32.09
It's gonna be great.
00:05:32.12\00:05:33.21
Hey, buddy, you
want some more water?
00:05:33.24\00:05:35.61
Blue Water? There you go, enjoy.
00:05:35.64\00:05:42.17
We're gonna be
rich. Back to you, Rico.
00:05:42.20\00:05:46.64
Blue Water.
00:05:46.67\00:05:48.78
And I would, you
know, I don't even know
00:05:48.81\00:05:50.77
what he is pronouncing in half--
00:05:50.80\00:05:53.33
you know, I don't
know half of the things
00:05:53.36\00:05:54.96
he was
pronouncing, in this blue water.
00:05:54.99\00:05:57.19
So--but this makes
a point, doesn't it?
00:05:57.22\00:05:59.89
A lot of people are drinking,
lots of things out there,
00:05:59.92\00:06:03.33
soda pop and all
types of energy drinks
00:06:03.36\00:06:06.41
that have all these
words that are long--
00:06:06.44\00:06:08.20
I would say
energy. Yeah. "Energy."
00:06:08.23\00:06:11.29
Okay, so-- but
people are choosing
00:06:11.32\00:06:13.53
that over just simple water.
00:06:13.56\00:06:16.92
What's going on here?
00:06:16.95\00:06:18.42
Well, basically people have been
00:06:18.45\00:06:20.69
sold the
proverbial billed goods.
00:06:20.72\00:06:24.07
They've been led to
believe that all of this stuff
00:06:24.10\00:06:27.98
that is being marketed
to them is good for them
00:06:28.01\00:06:33.09
or necessary or
helpful and in fact it isn't.
00:06:33.12\00:06:37.29
There is nothing more helpful,
00:06:37.32\00:06:40.37
more important than
good, clear, clean water.
00:06:40.40\00:06:46.05
Your body, as you
know is 70 percent water
00:06:46.08\00:06:50.82
and you need to
replenish that every single day
00:06:50.85\00:06:54.59
to keep yourself fully hydrated,
00:06:54.62\00:06:56.69
to keep your body
flushed out internally
00:06:56.72\00:07:00.46
so that your
kidneys are able to rid,
00:07:00.49\00:07:02.77
your body of the toxins
00:07:02.80\00:07:06.02
that are produced every single--
00:07:06.05\00:07:07.68
Every single day?
00:07:07.71\00:07:09.01
Actually, every single second
that we're living because--
00:07:09.04\00:07:12.18
Oh, you just
tripped me up there.
00:07:12.21\00:07:14.84
I was, I was ready to
say conceit to second.
00:07:14.87\00:07:18.58
I mean every day,
00:07:18.61\00:07:19.92
but you're saying
every single second?
00:07:19.95\00:07:21.98
Yes, every single
second that a cell is living,
00:07:22.01\00:07:26.41
it is metabolizing
and as it's metabolizing,
00:07:26.44\00:07:29.34
it is producing waste products--
00:07:29.37\00:07:30.44
Waste products. Exactly.
00:07:30.47\00:07:32.12
And those waste products
have to be gotten rid of.
00:07:32.15\00:07:36.19
And they are carried
away by the blood stream
00:07:36.22\00:07:39.19
which then goes to the kidneys,
which filter out the toxins
00:07:39.22\00:07:43.71
and those ultimately come
out in our urine or conversely,
00:07:43.74\00:07:48.70
they are
filtered through the liver
00:07:48.73\00:07:50.89
and they are taken out
00:07:50.92\00:07:52.64
and excreted
through the GI tract.
00:07:52.67\00:07:57.77
So toxins are
continually being produced
00:07:57.80\00:08:01.37
and removed from our system.
00:08:01.40\00:08:03.04
But you know what, you
know, what people are saying,
00:08:03.07\00:08:04.84
"Well, you know, that's fine.
00:08:04.87\00:08:06.43
I'll get my
water from soda pop."
00:08:06.46\00:08:09.54
Well, actually the problem
is-- There's water in it.
00:08:09.57\00:08:12.13
Yeah, there is
water but there is also
00:08:12.16\00:08:13.86
a lot of
dissolved solutes in there.
00:08:13.89\00:08:16.56
And when you take in water
00:08:16.59\00:08:20.75
that also has
other materials in it,
00:08:20.78\00:08:24.41
in the process of
metabolizing the stuff
00:08:24.44\00:08:27.26
that's in the soda pop,
you end up using the water
00:08:27.29\00:08:30.75
that's in the soda pop
to get rid of the stuff
00:08:30.78\00:08:32.73
that's in the soda pop.
00:08:32.76\00:08:34.26
Oh, wait a
minute, wait a minute.
00:08:34.29\00:08:36.35
Let me make sure that
I just understood that.
00:08:36.38\00:08:38.02
So you're saying, you
know, if you drink water,
00:08:38.05\00:08:40.36
let's look at that
first, so if you drink water
00:08:40.39\00:08:42.01
it's just simple,
it's, it's flushing out,
00:08:42.04\00:08:44.21
it's removing,
00:08:44.24\00:08:45.54
it is a benefit to the process,
the natural process is, right?
00:08:45.57\00:08:49.94
Sure.
00:08:49.97\00:08:51.00
Drink a soda
that has water in it
00:08:51.03\00:08:53.33
but because of so
many other additives
00:08:53.36\00:08:56.91
the water is being--
the body is using the water
00:08:56.94\00:08:59.45
that's in there to actually get
00:08:59.48\00:09:01.52
rid of the junk that's in there.
00:09:01.55\00:09:03.04
Absolutely, let me ask you--
00:09:03.07\00:09:04.10
So you don't
have any water at all.
00:09:04.13\00:09:05.44
Let me ask you this, can
you take a bath in muddy water?
00:09:05.47\00:09:08.98
I would, I would never do it.
00:09:09.01\00:09:11.57
Why? Because--
Because, I wouldn't be clean.
00:09:11.60\00:09:14.01
Exactly, likewise, you can't use
00:09:14.04\00:09:19.88
soda pop to get rid of compounds
00:09:19.91\00:09:23.36
that are in your system.
00:09:23.39\00:09:24.67
You need-- Just
like you need clear water
00:09:24.70\00:09:27.65
to get rid of dirt on your skin,
00:09:27.68\00:09:29.78
you need clear water internally
to get rid of the toxins
00:09:29.81\00:09:34.29
and waste products in your body.
00:09:34.32\00:09:36.47
Okay now doc, now here's a point
00:09:36.50\00:09:38.24
because people
don't realize that.
00:09:38.27\00:09:40.18
So there is a need
for water externally,
00:09:40.21\00:09:44.10
which no one is
gonna argue that.
00:09:44.13\00:09:45.80
Absolutely.
00:09:45.83\00:09:46.86
So in the same way,
we are actually sort of,
00:09:46.89\00:09:50.30
washing our vital organs.
00:09:50.33\00:09:53.09
Kidney, liver--
That's exactly right.
00:09:53.12\00:09:54.81
Let's look at some
facts about water, okay.
00:09:54.84\00:09:56.97
Since we're talking about,
00:09:57.00\00:09:58.03
let's get people
a clear prospective
00:09:58.06\00:10:00.60
and look at what is
water really doing in the body.
00:10:00.63\00:10:04.39
You mentioned
already, first of all,
00:10:04.42\00:10:06.31
you said that the body is 70--
00:10:06.34\00:10:08.06
some people say
70-75 percent water right?
00:10:08.09\00:10:10.36
So it's mostly water, but
then you've got the brain,
00:10:10.39\00:10:14.45
some 75-80, sometimes
even 85 percent water, right?
00:10:14.48\00:10:18.67
You've got water in the bones,
you've got water in the blood,
00:10:18.70\00:10:21.42
you've got water in--
00:10:21.45\00:10:22.72
every single aspect
of our body needs water.
00:10:22.75\00:10:26.48
What does it do?
00:10:26.51\00:10:27.54
It's a great laxative,
it's a natural laxative.
00:10:27.57\00:10:30.09
We need water to
actually use-- Right.
00:10:30.12\00:10:33.56
To make stool,
right? Yes, we do.
00:10:33.59\00:10:35.67
It's-- so we need water to--
00:10:35.70\00:10:36.79
it actually helps to lower
the blood sugar in the body--
00:10:36.82\00:10:40.70
Yeah, we need it as it's--
00:10:40.73\00:10:42.92
water is almost like
lubrication for the joints.
00:10:42.95\00:10:46.44
Yes, exactly right.
00:10:46.47\00:10:47.50
If you have arthritis and
you're not drinking water--
00:10:47.53\00:10:50.09
Your joints become stiffer.
They don't work as well.
00:10:50.12\00:10:52.57
We've, we've so much
more to say about this.
00:10:52.60\00:10:54.15
Let's, let's go and let's
hear if there's some information
00:10:54.18\00:10:58.02
that we can gather from
what the news is saying.
00:10:58.05\00:11:00.01
Where-- you know
on this program--
00:11:00.04\00:11:01.38
you've on been before.
00:11:01.41\00:11:02.44
We like to get our
perspective from everybody.
00:11:02.47\00:11:04.60
We want your perspective,
we want even your perspective
00:11:04.63\00:11:08.35
and certainly we'll
listen to what the news say.
00:11:08.38\00:11:10.24
Sometimes you all listen
to what the news will say
00:11:10.27\00:11:13.16
before you even what the
doctor who cares about you says.
00:11:13.19\00:11:17.10
So let's take a look at
what's the news is saying.
00:11:17.13\00:11:18.23
Sure.
00:11:18.26\00:11:20.55
And so, Coke and Pepsi announced
00:11:20.58\00:11:21.98
that they're gonna
change the formulation
00:11:22.01\00:11:24.09
of the caramel coloring
that they use in their sodas
00:11:24.12\00:11:26.80
to avoid putting a
cancer warning label.
00:11:26.83\00:11:29.06
And here's why.
00:11:29.09\00:11:30.28
A consumer group called
00:11:30.31\00:11:31.60
"Center for Science
in the Public Interest"
00:11:31.63\00:11:33.32
claims that they did
testing of this caramel coloring
00:11:33.35\00:11:36.97
and they found a
chemical in there
00:11:37.00\00:11:38.84
that has been linked
to cancer in animals.
00:11:38.87\00:11:41.02
Is above what's
allowable in our food supply.
00:11:41.05\00:11:43.34
And they demanded that The Food
00:11:43.37\00:11:44.87
and Drug
Administration take action.
00:11:44.90\00:11:46.45
You know,
there're a lot of people,
00:11:46.48\00:11:47.85
who drink Coke and Pepsi
00:11:47.88\00:11:48.93
and they're
gonna be very concerned
00:11:48.96\00:11:49.99
about their health right now.
00:11:50.02\00:11:51.05
Yeah, you know, there're
number of opinions on that.
00:11:51.08\00:11:52.81
Coke says that there
has never been a problem
00:11:52.84\00:11:55.43
in terms of cancer
from this caramel coloring
00:11:55.46\00:11:57.93
but they want to make the change
00:11:57.96\00:11:59.04
to avoid that warning label.
00:11:59.07\00:12:00.83
The Food and
Drug Administration,
00:12:00.86\00:12:02.20
they told writers that
you would need to drink
00:12:02.23\00:12:04.07
more than 1,000 cans
of soda every single day
00:12:04.10\00:12:07.89
to hit that threshold
of, of risk in animals.
00:12:07.92\00:12:11.26
Even before this came out,
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.21
you've never been
a fan as most doctors
00:12:13.24\00:12:15.11
are not a fan of drinking
this kind of, of beverages.
00:12:15.14\00:12:18.54
Yeah, you know, I don't see
00:12:18.57\00:12:19.86
that there's a
real cancer risk here
00:12:19.89\00:12:21.45
but you're right.
00:12:21.48\00:12:22.52
You know, I say
this every day that
00:12:22.55\00:12:24.95
if you want to do one
thing for your health,
00:12:24.98\00:12:26.94
just one thing
that you could do today
00:12:26.97\00:12:28.74
that will have
the biggest impact,
00:12:28.77\00:12:30.39
it would be cut out your sodas,
00:12:30.42\00:12:31.79
cut out your
sweetening beverages
00:12:31.82\00:12:33.42
because-- I mean,
cancer is not the risk,
00:12:33.45\00:12:35.90
you're more likely to
die from the diabetes,
00:12:35.93\00:12:38.58
it's linked to obesity
00:12:38.61\00:12:39.88
that's linked to all
these sweetening beverages
00:12:39.91\00:12:41.58
than you ever don't have
to worry about the caramel.
00:12:41.61\00:12:43.50
And you can see a dramatic
change if you cut out sodas.
00:12:43.53\00:12:46.09
It's unbelievable. Yeah.
00:12:46.12\00:12:47.15
You will lose pounds.
00:12:47.18\00:12:48.21
You will lose pounds just
from that one simple thing.
00:12:48.24\00:12:51.84
Wow, the research is so clear,
00:12:51.87\00:12:55.55
sugary drinks are
simply bad for us.
00:12:55.58\00:12:59.43
That's absolutely true.
00:12:59.46\00:13:00.86
The research clearly shows
that it is the massive increase
00:13:00.89\00:13:05.88
in the
consumption of sugary drinks
00:13:05.91\00:13:08.39
that has contributed
to this epidemic obesity
00:13:08.42\00:13:11.64
that we're
seeing in the country.
00:13:11.67\00:13:13.40
Not only does it
contribute to obesity
00:13:13.43\00:13:16.65
but it also
contributes to dehydration
00:13:16.68\00:13:18.82
because it takes a lot of water
to metabolize all of the sugar
00:13:18.85\00:13:22.93
that people are
actually consuming.
00:13:22.96\00:13:25.28
And even worse yet
high fructose corn syrup.
00:13:25.31\00:13:31.05
High fructose corn
syrup is actually--
00:13:31.08\00:13:33.66
You can't get around it
is in all those drinks--
00:13:33.69\00:13:35.35
It is in all of the drinks
and there's a-- there's a--
00:13:35.38\00:13:43.05
there's a very
interesting reason
00:13:43.08\00:13:44.86
why that's, that's, that's so.
00:13:44.89\00:13:47.31
It turns out that there're,
there're are different types
00:13:47.34\00:13:52.15
of sugar
molecules and fructose is a,
00:13:52.18\00:13:58.76
what's called a monosaccharide
meaning a single sugar molecule
00:13:58.79\00:14:03.19
that our taste buds perceive
as being many times sweeter
00:14:03.22\00:14:08.45
than what we call
table sugar or sucrose
00:14:08.48\00:14:12.38
which is a disaccharide meaning
00:14:12.41\00:14:14.44
it's two sugar
molecules linked together.
00:14:14.47\00:14:17.56
So in other words, you
have a single sugar molecule
00:14:17.59\00:14:22.00
that is perceived as
being many times sweeter
00:14:22.03\00:14:25.36
than a double sugar molecule.
00:14:25.39\00:14:28.00
Well, why is that important?
00:14:28.03\00:14:30.25
It's important
because that means
00:14:30.28\00:14:31.63
that God designed
fruit which is where the term
00:14:31.66\00:14:34.69
fructose comes
from, fruit sugar,
00:14:34.72\00:14:36.73
to have a small
amount of sugar in it
00:14:36.76\00:14:38.96
but still be
perceived as very sweet
00:14:38.99\00:14:41.33
so that we would eat the fruit,
get all of the health benefits
00:14:41.36\00:14:44.86
without getting
a huge sugar level.
00:14:44.89\00:14:47.75
But industry said, "Hmm, well,
00:14:47.78\00:14:51.69
instead of putting
sucrose into our soft drinks,
00:14:51.72\00:14:56.32
we could put half
the amount of sugar
00:14:56.35\00:14:59.30
for an equivalent
level of sweetness
00:14:59.33\00:15:01.92
and not only would
we be using less sugar
00:15:01.95\00:15:04.90
but then when we want to ship it
00:15:04.93\00:15:06.64
all over the country,
00:15:06.67\00:15:08.08
we will have to pay
lower transportation cost
00:15:08.11\00:15:11.27
because they would weight less."
00:15:11.30\00:15:13.24
The problem is that
00:15:13.27\00:15:15.87
when we consume
large amount of fructose,
00:15:15.90\00:15:19.70
non physiologic
amount of fructose
00:15:19.73\00:15:22.45
it deranges our physiology.
00:15:22.48\00:15:24.78
It raises your blood pressure,
00:15:24.81\00:15:26.56
it causes your body to
store excess amounts of fat
00:15:26.59\00:15:30.50
and it
contributes to a number of
00:15:30.53\00:15:33.18
other disease
processes in the body
00:15:33.21\00:15:36.40
because, our bodies
were not meant to handle
00:15:36.43\00:15:38.97
huge amounts of fructose like
00:15:39.00\00:15:41.17
we get when we drink
all of these sugary drinks.
00:15:41.20\00:15:44.79
Let me try to put
that into some language
00:15:44.82\00:15:47.92
because I mean, you've
hit some serious topics here,
00:15:47.95\00:15:50.90
but let's make it
real, real practical.
00:15:50.93\00:15:54.12
And you tell me
whether this is true,
00:15:54.15\00:15:55.39
but I've looked at
some research shows
00:15:55.42\00:15:57.57
that if-- say for
instance we take a--
00:15:57.60\00:16:01.32
your average 12 ounce of
soft drink, okay soda pop.
00:16:01.35\00:16:06.52
You drink that
and you're getting
00:16:06.55\00:16:09.45
high fructose corn syrup.
00:16:09.48\00:16:11.13
Now that would be the equivalent
00:16:11.16\00:16:13.02
because the
sugar there has been,
00:16:13.05\00:16:15.68
has been refined
or processed, right?
00:16:15.71\00:16:18.80
And-- but if you were to
look at the amount of sugar
00:16:18.83\00:16:21.84
that the body has taken in,
00:16:21.87\00:16:23.47
you would have to in
it's natural state be like
00:16:23.50\00:16:26.39
the equivalent
of a 30 foot cane,
00:16:26.42\00:16:29.98
you know, like the sugarcane,
00:16:30.01\00:16:31.88
like a-- no one would
eat a 30 foot sugarcane.
00:16:31.91\00:16:37.28
But you find that,
all sort of processed
00:16:37.31\00:16:39.55
or compressed in
this one can of soda.
00:16:39.58\00:16:43.53
This is unnatural for--
00:16:43.56\00:16:44.68
you said it's unnatural
for the body's physiology.
00:16:44.71\00:16:47.68
Right, furthermore,
00:16:47.71\00:16:49.59
it's even more
unnatural that that because one,
00:16:49.62\00:16:53.17
if you were to eat
that 30 foot sugarcane,
00:16:53.20\00:16:58.38
you're actually
gonna get sucrose,
00:16:58.41\00:17:01.75
which is actually natural sugar.
00:17:01.78\00:17:04.25
In that can of soda
you're getting all this--
00:17:04.28\00:17:07.21
"high fructose corn syrup."
00:17:07.24\00:17:09.29
I ask my patients,
"When was the last time
00:17:09.32\00:17:11.37
you squeezed a cup
of corn and got sick?"
00:17:11.40\00:17:15.77
Never and that's because
there is no syrup in corn.
00:17:15.80\00:17:20.05
Corn syrup, number one,
is an artificial product.
00:17:20.08\00:17:23.85
It's made by taking corn starch,
00:17:23.88\00:17:26.25
chemically breaking a part,
00:17:26.28\00:17:27.61
the starch molecules
into sugar, adding water,
00:17:27.64\00:17:30.94
then they take that sugar water
00:17:30.97\00:17:33.61
and send it through
another chemical process
00:17:33.64\00:17:35.92
which rearranges
the glucose molecules
00:17:35.95\00:17:38.61
into fructose molecules.
00:17:38.64\00:17:40.63
And so what you have
is a chemically produced
00:17:40.66\00:17:44.05
completely unnatural product,
which is then turned around
00:17:44.08\00:17:47.92
and put into these soft
drinks, fed to our children.
00:17:47.95\00:17:51.06
And it makes
them obese, diabetic
00:17:51.09\00:17:53.58
and have all sorts
of health problems.
00:17:53.61\00:17:56.02
And I might add, the same
thing happens to the adults.
00:17:56.05\00:17:59.22
So this is completely
unnatural and very unhealthy.
00:17:59.25\00:18:03.44
Now it makes me think
about, you know, sometimes
00:18:03.47\00:18:06.03
when you're in the grocery store
00:18:06.06\00:18:07.21
and you see these two
leaders, these huge things of--
00:18:07.24\00:18:11.01
Oh, disgusting.
00:18:11.04\00:18:12.07
And it's-- and then
you look and you wonder,
00:18:12.10\00:18:14.10
well, where is
the, where is the water,
00:18:14.13\00:18:16.85
where's the, you
know, the natural foods.
00:18:16.88\00:18:19.48
And it's all so processed
but we're talking about water
00:18:19.51\00:18:22.37
but there is a
price that has to be paid
00:18:22.40\00:18:26.14
when someone is constantly--
I've heard people who say,
00:18:26.17\00:18:28.67
"I don't even like water.
00:18:28.70\00:18:30.17
I don't like to drink water.
00:18:30.20\00:18:31.91
Just give me my
soda or my juice."
00:18:31.94\00:18:34.64
There's a price to
pay on the kidneys.
00:18:34.67\00:18:38.22
Where will that lead to
because we're seeing dialysis?
00:18:38.25\00:18:41.99
Absolutely.
00:18:42.02\00:18:43.05
That's just-- all of
the chart is expensive,
00:18:43.08\00:18:45.56
it's
inconvenient, it's cumbersome.
00:18:45.59\00:18:47.79
Talk about that for a second.
00:18:47.82\00:18:48.88
This is people who are
not drinking water, right.
00:18:48.91\00:18:50.93
It's going to lead
to all kinds of disease.
00:18:50.96\00:18:53.08
It's going to-- You
know I often ask-- again,
00:18:53.11\00:18:58.11
groups that I speak to.
00:18:58.14\00:18:59.64
I ask them, "If I
would have ask you
00:18:59.67\00:19:01.40
what is the
leading cause of disability
00:19:01.43\00:19:04.40
in African-American men
between the ages of 25 and 55?
00:19:04.43\00:19:08.90
Is it gunshots?
Is it auto accidents?
00:19:08.93\00:19:12.94
Is it HIV disease
or none of the above?
00:19:12.97\00:19:16.20
Many people pick one
of those three problems.
00:19:16.23\00:19:19.69
It's actually stroke
00:19:19.72\00:19:21.75
from untreated
high blood pressure
00:19:21.78\00:19:24.53
and that can be
directly traced to things like
00:19:24.56\00:19:27.85
drinking all of
these sugary drinks,
00:19:27.88\00:19:30.55
not getting enough water
00:19:30.58\00:19:32.91
and other dietary indiscretions.
00:19:32.94\00:19:35.66
So these things
do come with a price
00:19:35.69\00:19:38.13
and that price is the diseases
00:19:38.16\00:19:41.40
that result from inappropriate
dietary habits like
00:19:41.43\00:19:44.82
not drinking enough water,
drinking too many sugary drinks
00:19:44.85\00:19:48.64
and so on and so forth.
00:19:48.67\00:19:50.17
So yes, there's a
terrible price to be paid
00:19:50.20\00:19:53.01
and we have to make changes
00:19:53.04\00:19:55.15
if we want to
preserve our health.
00:19:55.18\00:19:57.33
You know what, those
are excellent points.
00:19:57.36\00:19:59.19
Let's take a
look-- We want to see
00:19:59.22\00:20:00.61
what the people are
saying out there on the streets.
00:20:00.64\00:20:03.33
Do they understand
the value of water,
00:20:03.36\00:20:06.23
the necessity of drinking water
00:20:06.26\00:20:07.87
and drinking it in the
right amounts that you need?
00:20:07.90\00:20:10.88
And when we come
back from the other side,
00:20:10.91\00:20:12.11
let's talk about, how much
water should we be drinking?
00:20:12.14\00:20:14.36
Sure. All right.
00:20:14.39\00:20:17.67
All right, you don't
drink milk that's fine.
00:20:17.70\00:20:19.00
You drink water? Yeah.
00:20:19.03\00:20:21.31
Why would you drink water?
00:20:21.34\00:20:23.51
I don't know, it just
seems like you have to.
00:20:23.54\00:20:25.41
Seems like you have
to-- you don't have to.
00:20:25.44\00:20:26.85
From now on, do not
drink water, drink soda.
00:20:26.88\00:20:30.68
Do you like soda?
00:20:30.71\00:20:31.82
No, I don't just
like, simple water.
00:20:31.85\00:20:34.58
What? Water.
00:20:34.61\00:20:35.70
Water? How do you do that?
00:20:35.73\00:20:38.26
That just tastes like nothing.
00:20:38.29\00:20:39.85
He's got water,
wasting his arms'
00:20:39.88\00:20:42.17
strength holding
some water out here.
00:20:42.20\00:20:44.41
Hey, you can do
better than that.
00:20:44.44\00:20:46.04
How about
water, you drink water?
00:20:46.07\00:20:47.10
Yeah, I love water.
Oh, what a waste of time.
00:20:47.13\00:20:49.42
You like blue water?
I have blue water, yeah.
00:20:49.45\00:20:52.19
Yeah, they've got
blue water. He drinks it.
00:20:52.22\00:20:54.21
That is fantastic, it
has got the good flavor.
00:20:54.24\00:20:56.01
Anyway, I won't advertise
my blue water right now.
00:20:56.04\00:20:58.59
Back to you.
00:20:58.62\00:21:00.71
They are drinking
everything but water.
00:21:00.74\00:21:03.60
So it's not just soda,
it's also coffee and teas and--
00:21:03.63\00:21:07.24
Well, number one, milk is not--
00:21:07.27\00:21:08.80
should not even be
considered a liquid
00:21:08.83\00:21:10.97
because as soon as it
heats, your stomach acts it,
00:21:11.00\00:21:13.91
you're stomach acid it
colligates a form of solid.
00:21:13.94\00:21:17.09
So that's really not a liquid.
00:21:17.12\00:21:20.05
So you can't even consider
that to be water, number one.
00:21:20.08\00:21:22.87
Oh, that is scary, I'm sorry.
I've never heard that before.
00:21:22.90\00:21:26.82
You're saying that milk goes
00:21:26.85\00:21:28.02
into the
stomach and it becomes--
00:21:28.05\00:21:29.45
It curdles. It curdles.
00:21:29.48\00:21:30.72
Yeah, it forms a solid.
00:21:30.75\00:21:32.11
But that's what
it is supposed to do.
00:21:32.14\00:21:33.83
Milk is designed to be
a food for baby mammals
00:21:33.86\00:21:40.35
and it's designed to be a
liquid form of a solid food
00:21:40.38\00:21:44.00
that when it hits
the baby's stomach acid,
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.73
it forms a solid
00:21:46.76\00:21:47.79
and that's the
way it feeds the baby.
00:21:47.82\00:21:50.14
Now again this is another story.
00:21:50.17\00:21:54.83
We've done a program on milk,
00:21:54.86\00:21:56.72
but I've never
heard that before.
00:21:56.75\00:21:57.78
Adult animals
shouldn't be drinking milk
00:21:57.81\00:22:00.10
but, you know,
that's another story,
00:22:00.13\00:22:02.46
but just suffice it to say
that you shouldn't consider milk
00:22:02.49\00:22:05.80
as a way to get liquid
because it really isn't.
00:22:05.83\00:22:08.34
But you see have kids
coming in from playing sports
00:22:08.37\00:22:11.49
and they're thirsty.
00:22:11.52\00:22:12.58
They're looking
for-- even the commercials.
00:22:12.61\00:22:15.08
The commercials show them,
00:22:15.11\00:22:16.14
they come home and
they go near the fridge,
00:22:16.17\00:22:17.30
they pull out
and drink the milk--
00:22:17.33\00:22:18.36
That's
exactly-- and why is that?
00:22:18.39\00:22:20.49
That's because the
dairy board wants your money.
00:22:20.52\00:22:23.34
They don't care
about your health.
00:22:23.37\00:22:25.52
The dairy board will show you
African-Americans drinking milk
00:22:25.55\00:22:28.64
even though they
know that 70 percent of us
00:22:28.67\00:22:30.81
are lactose intolerant.
00:22:30.84\00:22:33.05
Now the fact that
you will drink that milk
00:22:33.08\00:22:34.92
and then develop stomach cramps
00:22:34.95\00:22:36.95
and diarrhea
and gas and bloating
00:22:36.98\00:22:39.15
they don't mention that--
00:22:39.18\00:22:40.63
Because once they
get you to drink it,
00:22:40.66\00:22:42.51
they have your money
00:22:42.54\00:22:43.57
and they don't care
about the health consequences.
00:22:43.60\00:22:46.73
So how much water
should we be drinking?
00:22:46.76\00:22:48.27
Okay, that's a
very good question
00:22:48.30\00:22:50.13
and there're a number
of different formulas.
00:22:50.16\00:22:52.48
You know,
people say eight ounces
00:22:52.51\00:22:54.36
or-- excuse me, eight
glasses of water a day,
00:22:54.39\00:22:57.90
you know, some people
use a body weight formula.
00:22:57.93\00:23:01.40
And many of these formulas
are valid and very good--
00:23:01.43\00:23:04.90
Well, at least
people are drinking water.
00:23:04.93\00:23:06.67
You've got something better.
00:23:06.70\00:23:07.73
I try to give my patients a
very practical way of gauging
00:23:07.76\00:23:11.49
how much water to drink,
and this is the analogy I use.
00:23:11.52\00:23:15.80
I tell them, if you
went to take a bath,
00:23:15.83\00:23:18.46
you ran a tub
full of clean water,
00:23:18.49\00:23:20.82
you got in it,
you took your bath
00:23:20.85\00:23:22.51
and when you stepped out
the water will look like mud.
00:23:22.54\00:23:25.00
What would that tell you?
You need to bath more often.
00:23:25.03\00:23:27.53
Oh, oh, I know where
you're going with this.
00:23:27.56\00:23:28.59
So if you go and you pee
and your urine is dark yellow
00:23:28.62\00:23:33.23
that tells you,
you are dirty inside.
00:23:33.26\00:23:35.90
So you need to
drink enough water
00:23:35.93\00:23:38.46
throughout the course of the day
00:23:38.49\00:23:40.33
so that your urine
is pale yellow to clear.
00:23:40.36\00:23:44.10
That tells you that
you're keeping yourself
00:23:44.13\00:23:46.38
adequately hydrated.
00:23:46.41\00:23:47.91
And I know people who will say,
00:23:47.94\00:23:49.19
"Oh, yeah, I drink six glasses
of water in the morning."
00:23:49.22\00:23:52.31
Well, that makes no sense.
00:23:52.34\00:23:53.87
That's like taking the shower,
00:23:53.90\00:23:55.81
going out and running a marathon
00:23:55.84\00:23:57.78
and then not bathing
for the rest of the day.
00:23:57.81\00:23:59.67
You're gonna stink.
00:23:59.70\00:24:00.73
So you need to drink your water
00:24:00.76\00:24:05.26
distributed throughout the day
00:24:05.29\00:24:07.63
because again, your body
is constantly metabolizing,
00:24:07.66\00:24:12.35
making those toxins,
00:24:12.38\00:24:13.79
you need to be
continually flushing yourself
00:24:13.82\00:24:16.64
and your system out.
00:24:16.67\00:24:17.74
Dr. Mills, you
have a way of putting
00:24:17.77\00:24:20.06
probably giving them a point.
00:24:20.09\00:24:22.80
You're gonna stink.
00:24:22.83\00:24:26.24
That's just the way it is.
00:24:26.27\00:24:27.99
Let's just be
real, let's be real.
00:24:28.02\00:24:29.66
So you make a
very good point though.
00:24:29.69\00:24:31.56
It's-- You have consider
time, place and occasion
00:24:31.59\00:24:34.11
if you are exercising,
if you're doing something--
00:24:34.14\00:24:38.42
by the way, you lose water,
00:24:38.45\00:24:40.78
and I think it will
be giving you something.
00:24:40.81\00:24:41.84
Absolutely that's
a very good point.
00:24:41.87\00:24:43.56
So if you are
sweating, you're loosing water,
00:24:43.59\00:24:46.90
even if you're talking a
lot you're loosing water.
00:24:46.93\00:24:49.95
I talk a lot, so I
need to be drinking water
00:24:49.98\00:24:52.15
because when we talk, we--
00:24:52.18\00:24:53.75
You are, yes, you are loosing
00:24:53.78\00:24:55.67
more and more
water, a very good point.
00:24:55.70\00:24:57.93
So you have to
consider, are you working out,
00:24:57.96\00:25:01.18
are you exercising and
other things sugary drinks,
00:25:01.21\00:25:05.15
milk, coffee
nothing is gonna do it--
00:25:05.18\00:25:07.21
No substitute. You
have to have water.
00:25:07.24\00:25:10.03
Right, and again,
people have said to me,
00:25:10.06\00:25:12.41
"I don't like
the taste of water."
00:25:12.44\00:25:14.37
Then you know, what my
answer to that is, prayer.
00:25:14.40\00:25:17.81
No, why do I say that
00:25:17.84\00:25:21.06
because there was
a time in my life,
00:25:21.09\00:25:22.40
I didn't like water.
00:25:22.43\00:25:24.15
I didn't like the taste of it,
00:25:24.18\00:25:25.99
but I knew I needed to drink it.
00:25:26.02\00:25:27.72
So I just said,
you know, Lord, I know
00:25:27.75\00:25:30.16
You want me to drink more water.
00:25:30.19\00:25:31.52
I know I need to drink this.
00:25:31.55\00:25:33.20
Give me the
taste for this water.
00:25:33.23\00:25:36.38
And He did and now I crave it.
00:25:36.41\00:25:39.19
You crave it now.
00:25:39.22\00:25:40.26
I crave it and if I
don't have enough water
00:25:40.29\00:25:44.02
my body tells me,
you need to get water.
00:25:44.05\00:25:46.61
You need to drink it.
00:25:46.64\00:25:47.68
And it's-- I mean, I
love the taste of water now.
00:25:47.71\00:25:50.65
Okay, so somebody
out there is thinking,
00:25:50.68\00:25:52.42
okay, you're convincing me,
00:25:52.45\00:25:54.30
I'm gonna start
drinking more water.
00:25:54.33\00:25:56.15
Now what kind of
water do I need to drink?
00:25:56.18\00:25:57.36
Do I need to drink
Kangen water or Kangen
00:25:57.39\00:25:59.83
some people call
it, its alkaline water.
00:25:59.86\00:26:01.71
And we don't have much
time but we want to get them
00:26:01.74\00:26:03.77
something practical
that they can start to do.
00:26:03.80\00:26:06.41
Kangen water, is alkaline water,
00:26:06.44\00:26:09.19
should it be spring water,
should it be distilled water,
00:26:09.22\00:26:11.58
should it be
reverse osmosis water,
00:26:11.61\00:26:14.18
what kind of water?
00:26:14.21\00:26:15.33
Okay. In 30 seconds.
00:26:15.36\00:26:16.49
Right, I'm gonna give
you my personal preference.
00:26:16.52\00:26:21.99
The most important
thing is to drink water.
00:26:22.02\00:26:24.60
If you have a choice,
00:26:24.63\00:26:27.17
I think distilled
water is the best option
00:26:27.20\00:26:30.41
and if you can't get
distilled try to get purified.
00:26:30.44\00:26:33.03
That's reverse
osmosis or RO water.
00:26:33.06\00:26:35.84
Sure, because
basically all you want
00:26:35.87\00:26:39.14
are two Hs and one O, okay.
00:26:39.17\00:26:44.25
I like that.
00:26:44.28\00:26:45.31
Yeah, you just want
water and you don't need,
00:26:45.34\00:26:48.19
because people say,
"Well, you need the alkaline."
00:26:48.22\00:26:49.80
No, you don't.
00:26:49.83\00:26:50.89
The great thing
about a plant based diet
00:26:50.92\00:26:52.80
is that plant
foods are very alkaline.
00:26:52.83\00:26:55.21
They will give you all
the alkali that you need.
00:26:55.24\00:26:58.10
You don't need to
get it from your water
00:26:58.13\00:27:00.12
plus all you will
get from the amount of--
00:27:00.15\00:27:02.47
from alkaline water are
very small amounts of alkali.
00:27:02.50\00:27:05.55
Most of it comes from the diet.
00:27:05.58\00:27:07.16
You don't need to
get it from your water.
00:27:07.19\00:27:09.04
Just drink as pure
water as you can get,
00:27:09.07\00:27:12.95
your diet will
take care of the rest.
00:27:12.98\00:27:15.03
Praise the Lord. You hear this?
00:27:15.06\00:27:16.80
So we want to
start drinking more water
00:27:16.83\00:27:19.01
but we don't have to go
00:27:19.04\00:27:20.07
and spend thousands
of dollars to get it.
00:27:20.10\00:27:22.84
You know, water
is readily accessible
00:27:22.87\00:27:25.91
and available at a
relatively low cost
00:27:25.94\00:27:28.53
anywhere you go in the world.
00:27:28.56\00:27:30.61
That says to me, God
intended for us to have it
00:27:30.64\00:27:32.98
and to have it in abundance.
00:27:33.01\00:27:34.75
You need it even to think.
00:27:34.78\00:27:36.29
So one could say,
00:27:36.32\00:27:37.35
if you're not
drinking enough water,
00:27:37.38\00:27:39.36
you may not be
in your right mind.
00:27:39.39\00:27:41.15
Absolutely. Drink more water.
00:27:41.18\00:27:42.99
The brain needs
water. Your body needs water.
00:27:43.02\00:27:44.75
And we thank you
doctor, for being with us.
00:27:44.78\00:27:46.65
My pleasure.
00:27:46.68\00:27:47.71
God bless you and we
look forward to see you again.
00:27:47.74\00:27:49.59
Well, today we've
learned how vitally important
00:27:53.31\00:27:58.01
water is to the human body.
00:27:58.04\00:28:00.10
How it cleanses,
how it refreshes.
00:28:00.13\00:28:03.64
It is the world's
most amazing solvent.
00:28:03.67\00:28:06.23
It's heavens elixir.
00:28:06.26\00:28:08.15
Many people take it for granted,
00:28:08.18\00:28:09.74
and no substance
colored or sugared
00:28:09.77\00:28:12.47
can ever take the
place of pure water.
00:28:12.50\00:28:16.11
When you're thirsty,
you're already dehydrated
00:28:16.14\00:28:20.03
and every single
organ needs water.
00:28:20.06\00:28:23.72
You not only need to
be washed on the outside
00:28:23.75\00:28:26.56
but water actually
cleanses us on the inside.
00:28:26.59\00:28:30.37
Isn't that amazing?
00:28:30.40\00:28:33.04
Can you move to
the side a little bit?
00:28:33.07\00:28:34.91
Just move right over there.
00:28:34.94\00:28:36.73
My fellow Americans,
the founders of this country
00:28:36.76\00:28:39.90
fought for freedom.
00:28:39.93\00:28:41.27
Don't let someone like
this take your freedoms away.
00:28:41.30\00:28:44.31
You enjoy the right to
drink soda and pop and colas
00:28:44.34\00:28:48.74
and teas and sugary drinks
00:28:48.77\00:28:51.35
and I don't want to take
that freedom away from you.
00:28:51.38\00:28:53.93
So I want to tell you
today, don't worry about water.
00:28:53.96\00:28:57.27
Enjoy the new stuff, blue water.
00:28:57.30\00:29:02.15
Wow, what do I
have to say to that?
00:29:02.18\00:29:05.31
Oh, wait a
minute, I think I know,
00:29:05.34\00:29:07.02
John 4:14 says,
"The water I give you,
00:29:07.05\00:29:11.41
you shall never thirst again."
00:29:11.44\00:29:15.46
I don't remember it saying
anything about blue water.
00:29:15.49\00:29:18.93
