Hello and welcome to
Health for a Lifetime.
00:00:47.37\00:00:49.26
I'm your host Don Macintosh
and today I'm delighted to have
00:00:49.36\00:00:52.23
Dr. Bernell Baldwin with
us. Welcome, Dr. Baldwin!
00:00:52.33\00:00:55.38
Glad to be here. Now, when
you call someone a doctor today
00:00:55.42\00:00:59.17
you need to know what that
means. What's your specialty?
00:00:59.27\00:01:01.66
Neurophysiology. Brain science.
00:01:02.07\00:01:04.39
Brain science!
OK, neurophysiology.
00:01:04.49\00:01:07.07
The way the neurons... I
guess that would be the nerves
00:01:07.17\00:01:09.83
relate... The
chemistry, the electronics, and
00:01:09.93\00:01:12.22
the mathematics of the brain.
What's the most important part
00:01:12.32\00:01:14.67
of the brain, would you say?
Or is there a part that's more
00:01:14.77\00:01:16.76
important than another? Oh, yes!
00:01:16.86\00:01:18.14
It's called the
front brain system.
00:01:18.24\00:01:20.79
OK. Well that's what we're going
to talk about today, right?
00:01:20.89\00:01:22.89
The frontal lobe... right...
and the front brain system.
00:01:22.99\00:01:25.95
Does that mean there's
more parts than just one?
00:01:26.05\00:01:27.78
Oh yes, yes. There are
10 to 14 billion components
00:01:27.88\00:01:32.65
in the outside six
layers of the human brain,
00:01:32.76\00:01:35.71
and 40% of these, approximately,
1/3 to 40% are in front.
00:01:37.86\00:01:43.16
And the reason I call
this the front brain system
00:01:43.26\00:01:46.05
is because no part of the brain
is an island, and the front
00:01:46.15\00:01:51.43
brain controls the rest of
the brain through electronics.
00:01:51.56\00:01:55.14
And so when the
front is clicking right
00:01:55.25\00:01:58.29
the rest of the brain
succeeds instead of failing.
00:01:58.39\00:02:02.35
I see. So in other words,
would you say the front brain
00:02:02.65\00:02:05.27
has to be actually leading
out or else we are going to have
00:02:05.38\00:02:07.69
confusion? Right. Now I
understand when you did your
00:02:07.79\00:02:10.80
PhD at George Washington
that you actually studied how
00:02:10.90\00:02:13.64
the brain relates to the heart.
Yes. We discovered and reported
00:02:13.74\00:02:18.28
to the American Physiological
Society that within one
00:02:18.38\00:02:20.91
heart cycle the front brain
will speed up the human heart
00:02:21.01\00:02:25.64
in anticipation
of exercise to come.
00:02:25.74\00:02:28.44
Oh, so in other words, it says
watch out... the guy's going to
00:02:28.54\00:02:31.11
run and get ready... all systems
go... ventricles, yes, contract
00:02:31.21\00:02:35.98
atrium relax... - exactly
- just... just... just... OK.
00:02:36.08\00:02:40.18
Well, I notice that you brought
your friend here with you...
00:02:40.28\00:02:43.56
Yes. And I assume
that this may be the brain.
00:02:43.66\00:02:47.81
Oh yes. Here is a model
of the brain under this cap,
00:02:47.91\00:02:53.06
and a fascinating thing
about the frontal lobe is
00:02:53.16\00:02:56.11
it's the largest lobe of
the whole brain and it goes
00:02:56.21\00:03:00.48
clear back to here. OK.
And in men it takes 30 years
00:03:00.58\00:03:05.82
to finish it. So the
frontal lobe then goes from here
00:03:05.92\00:03:08.39
all the way back
to... clear back to here -
00:03:08.49\00:03:11.07
back of the motor
strip... clear back there.
00:03:11.17\00:03:14.44
It's the last one to be
finished. So you said something
00:03:14.55\00:03:17.73
just in passing. It takes
how long for it to be finished?
00:03:17.83\00:03:20.84
Thirty years. For man? For man.
For the anatomy to be finished.
00:03:20.94\00:03:26.23
OK. For the structure to
be there. How long for women?
00:03:26.33\00:03:30.84
Twenty-five years.
Twenty-five years? So women are
00:03:30.94\00:03:33.74
smarter than men by age
25. Faster, five years faster.
00:03:33.84\00:03:38.18
The brain is 180 grams lighter
and simpler - takes 5 years less
00:03:38.28\00:03:42.81
to insulate the wires in
the brain. Five years shorter,
00:03:42.91\00:03:47.54
faster. For a female vs. a male?
00:03:47.65\00:03:50.21
Exactly. Hmmm... interesting!
00:03:50.31\00:03:52.69
Well, tell us a little bit more
about how this is organized.
00:03:52.79\00:03:55.05
What goes on in
this frontal lobe?
00:03:55.15\00:03:56.93
Well, I think one of the
best ways to illustrate this
00:03:57.58\00:04:02.51
and to really communicate it
would be the famous classic case
00:04:02.61\00:04:06.84
of Phineas Gage. He was
a foreman on the railroad
00:04:06.94\00:04:10.03
and when he was tamping powder
in rock his crowbar slipped.
00:04:10.13\00:04:15.70
Now, we live in a mobile
society. The next time you visit
00:04:15.80\00:04:20.31
Boston if you go to
the Harvard Medical Museum,
00:04:20.41\00:04:24.87
across from the Lane
Medical Library you can see
00:04:24.98\00:04:28.73
Phineas Gage's
crowbar and his skull.
00:04:28.83\00:04:32.46
So you said he was tamping
something - powder - with his
00:04:32.56\00:04:35.91
rod... In other
words, where they blow
00:04:36.01\00:04:37.78
out the rock and different
things... Yes, and he slipped
00:04:37.88\00:04:40.11
and exploded and shot this sharp
crowbar, pointed at one end,
00:04:40.21\00:04:44.93
out of this hole underneath his
left eye. And it went right up
00:04:45.03\00:04:49.26
through his frontal lobe,
and it's the fastest documented
00:04:49.36\00:04:53.57
lobotomy in history!
Wow! So what happened to him
00:04:53.67\00:04:57.55
as a result of that?
Now... it's better than a movie!
00:04:57.65\00:05:02.84
Because it didn't destroy his
motor strip, he walked part way
00:05:04.25\00:05:08.48
to see Dr. Harlow. So he walked
from the scene of the accident,
00:05:08.58\00:05:12.47
yes, to go to the doctor?
Yes, and he rode the rest of the
00:05:12.57\00:05:15.47
way in an ox cart. And...
according to Dr. Harlow...
00:05:15.57\00:05:21.15
Now, I went to the
National Library of Medicine
00:05:21.25\00:05:23.45
and studied the
original records of Dr. Harlow,
00:05:23.55\00:05:26.80
and here's what he
reported: after this lobotomy,
00:05:26.90\00:05:30.27
deep lobotomy -
not a shallow one.
00:05:30.37\00:05:32.41
So, way back here in the
brain. Something like that?
00:05:32.51\00:05:35.55
Clear back to the motor strip.
00:05:35.65\00:05:36.97
It went right
under his left eye.
00:05:37.08\00:05:38.80
Of course, blind in the left
eye. Um hmm. And it destroyed
00:05:38.90\00:05:43.46
his left frontal lobe
and part of the right.
00:05:43.56\00:05:48.26
Here's what happened to
him. According to Dr. Harlow
00:05:48.36\00:05:50.99
in his original reports,
1. He became irreverent.
00:05:51.09\00:05:55.82
2. He became irascible.
3... What was that second word?
00:05:55.93\00:06:00.22
Irascible. Which means? An
adult teenager; high voltage.
00:06:00.32\00:06:04.62
3... High
voltage, huh? Yes. Yes.
00:06:04.72\00:06:08.40
He became irresponsible.
And - get a load of this -
00:06:08.50\00:06:11.99
he lost love for his
family and children forever.
00:06:12.09\00:06:15.64
Nothing but chasing around
California and South America.
00:06:15.74\00:06:19.40
He became instantly modern:
wine, women and song... NOW.
00:06:19.50\00:06:25.33
No impulse control,
no self control. Right!
00:06:25.43\00:06:27.63
Gone forever. You said that only
half or 3/4 of the frontal lobe
00:06:27.73\00:06:33.35
was gone, so... On the
left, which is the dominant one
00:06:33.45\00:06:37.06
in the right-handed
individual. It was ruined...
00:06:37.17\00:06:40.83
clear back to the motor strip.
So it took away the common sense
00:06:40.93\00:06:45.29
abilities or, what you would
say, desire for relationships
00:06:45.39\00:06:49.48
and a relationship with family
members as well as with others
00:06:49.58\00:06:54.01
and then with God. Oh, yes!
00:06:54.11\00:06:55.81
So his vertical dimensions
of his personhood destroyed.
00:06:55.91\00:07:01.48
Horizontal
relationships destroyed.
00:07:01.58\00:07:04.49
He became a thing
instead of a person.
00:07:04.59\00:07:07.33
Now you know I have heard some
people, and I think maybe you
00:07:07.43\00:07:10.64
are one of the best people
to ask about this, I have heard
00:07:10.74\00:07:12.29
some people talk about the brain
and they have said that there is
00:07:12.43\00:07:16.30
a right brain and there
is a left brain and there is
00:07:16.41\00:07:18.71
this and that. Did
he lose his left brain?
00:07:18.81\00:07:22.51
Is that the way
you would say that?
00:07:22.61\00:07:23.91
Phineas Gage's brain was
destroyed in front of my finger
00:07:25.84\00:07:30.54
over to this hand so that
the executive centers were
00:07:32.71\00:07:37.17
permanently ruined. The
will? Yes. Self control.
00:07:37.27\00:07:41.19
And the electronic
machinery for love, for wisdom,
00:07:41.29\00:07:45.41
and the higher faculties of man.
You said this was the fastest
00:07:45.51\00:07:49.56
lobotomy... What
are some slow ways?
00:07:49.66\00:07:52.79
Slow ways is the
ice pick lobotomy.
00:07:52.89\00:07:57.12
What's that? Ice pick lobotomy?
00:07:57.22\00:07:58.92
You know, it's a
custom in American history
00:07:59.02\00:08:02.50
for ideas to be
generated somewhere else.
00:08:02.60\00:08:05.61
But when we come to America we
put them on the assembly line.
00:08:05.71\00:08:08.66
All right. So Freeman and Watts
went over to St. Elizabeth's
00:08:08.76\00:08:12.40
Hospital and they did
several thousand lobotomies.
00:08:12.50\00:08:16.48
And here was the way.
They would take this lady,
00:08:16.58\00:08:19.27
locally anesthetize
the skin over the eye,
00:08:19.37\00:08:22.37
and they would take
an ice-pick-like device
00:08:22.57\00:08:28.53
and drive this into the
brain - sometimes with a hammer.
00:08:28.64\00:08:31.34
They would wag this to cut the
white living wires between the
00:08:31.44\00:08:36.65
front of the brain and the
rest and then when this lobotomy
00:08:36.75\00:08:39.23
was finished, this lady
is permanently tranquillized.
00:08:39.33\00:08:43.04
Hmmm. So, they don't
do that any more, do they?
00:08:43.14\00:08:46.30
Not very often. It was
against the law in Russia
00:08:46.61\00:08:51.58
very shortly when the
side effects were explained.
00:08:51.68\00:08:56.45
So what are other ways
that you could do a lobotomy?
00:08:56.55\00:09:01.13
Another way to do a
lobotomy is with a bottle.
00:09:01.24\00:09:04.91
It's fascinating. You take a
bottle and you pour in a jigger
00:09:05.01\00:09:09.78
- you know, whiskey
- or in a wine glass
00:09:09.88\00:09:13.30
or they have them in
cans - these beer cans...
00:09:13.40\00:09:16.26
All right. So...
moderate consumption of alcohol
00:09:16.36\00:09:19.87
will kill the small cells in the
frontal lobe to such an extent
00:09:19.97\00:09:24.87
that you get an
alcoholic lobotomy.
00:09:24.97\00:09:28.21
Wow! So, in other words, even
moderate drinking will kill...
00:09:28.32\00:09:32.54
Does it start killing
brain cells in the frontal lobe
00:09:32.65\00:09:35.14
exclusively or
all over the brain?
00:09:35.24\00:09:36.75
No. Wherever there are
cells small enough. I see.
00:09:36.86\00:09:41.96
And they happen to be in
the frontal lobe and also in the
00:09:42.07\00:09:45.31
cerebellum underneath. So,
that's where coordination is?
00:09:45.41\00:09:49.14
Exactly! I see. So
would it affect your thinking
00:09:49.25\00:09:52.38
first or your
coordination? Thinking.
00:09:52.48\00:09:55.94
And, temporarily of course,
alcohol would produce violence
00:09:56.04\00:10:01.93
and disinhibition...
taking the brakes off.
00:10:02.03\00:10:04.92
And this is a major reason
why women and children get hurt
00:10:05.02\00:10:10.09
when alcohol is used. Um-hmm.
So if someone's watching today
00:10:10.19\00:10:15.98
and they are in a situation
where someone's drinking
00:10:16.08\00:10:18.09
they are actually dealing
with someone that's done a
00:10:18.20\00:10:20.16
frontal lobotomy.
Now, is that reversible
00:10:20.26\00:10:23.28
when the alcohol wears off?
Certainly this is reversible.
00:10:23.39\00:10:26.97
It is called
translation. Translation? Yes!
00:10:27.07\00:10:31.13
In the twinkling of an eye
they get a new frontal lobe.
00:10:31.23\00:10:33.80
But we've got good news,
good news. And this quantitative
00:10:33.90\00:10:37.74
scan information.
Let my hand represent
00:10:37.84\00:10:42.06
the folds of the
brain. The better the brain,
00:10:42.16\00:10:46.46
the tighter the
cracks called sulci.
00:10:46.56\00:10:49.70
Alcohol... The cracks
get wide; full of water -
00:10:49.81\00:10:53.43
and you have less and less
brains and more and more cracks
00:10:53.53\00:10:56.67
until you become
a senior politician.
00:10:56.77\00:11:00.34
Now here's the good
news. Here's the good news.
00:11:00.44\00:11:04.30
When you go on the wagon and
use things like pineapple juice,
00:11:04.40\00:11:08.76
papaya juice, you
see... tomato juice,
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.88
the cracks tighten up...
even in the experienced drinker.
00:11:11.98\00:11:15.80
So if you wanted to
stop drinking... Yes...
00:11:15.90\00:11:20.91
the best thing to then drink
is pineapple juice, apple juice,
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.39
tomato juice... or
just avoid alcohol.
00:11:23.49\00:11:26.16
Yes, avoid alcohol. And...
tomato juice with a little
00:11:26.27\00:11:30.87
bit of wheat germ stirred
in it is ideal because of the
00:11:30.97\00:11:34.85
concentration of B
vitamins in the wheat germ.
00:11:34.95\00:11:37.72
OK. Because they are really
deficit in vitamin B. Oh yes.
00:11:37.82\00:11:41.13
Yeah. When I worked in a
hospital that's what we would
00:11:41.23\00:11:43.78
give to every person
that we suspected of drinking
00:11:43.89\00:11:46.87
is vitamin B when they would
come in. You can make a new
00:11:46.97\00:11:49.07
synapse in 2-1/2
hours. Is that right?
00:11:49.17\00:11:52.84
So a new synapse meaning a
new connection. Connection!
00:11:52.94\00:11:55.95
between one
nerve cell and another.
00:11:55.98\00:11:57.81
And so just because a
good friend has been drinking
00:11:57.91\00:12:01.18
for years this is no sign that
if they get serious, if they get
00:12:01.28\00:12:04.97
God's power, their cooperation,
and they go forward...
00:12:05.07\00:12:08.34
then the computer can get
a new chip in 2-1/2 hours.
00:12:08.44\00:12:12.50
So some tomato juice, some wheat
germ, and then that helps those
00:12:12.60\00:12:16.48
cracks come... the
sulci, whatever - the sulci -
00:12:16.58\00:12:19.16
as you call them and then get
them doing things that are going
00:12:19.31\00:12:23.09
to cause their
synapses to regenerate. Yes!
00:12:23.20\00:12:25.67
What are some other
things they could do?
00:12:25.77\00:12:27.34
Helping young people
instead of hurting them.
00:12:27.44\00:12:29.41
Taking the wife out for
dinner instead of griping about
00:12:29.51\00:12:33.61
the one you've got. OK...
so in other words... and that
00:12:33.71\00:12:37.13
helps build new
synapses? Oh, yes.
00:12:37.24\00:12:39.60
How does that work? Oh,
because of protein synthesis.
00:12:39.70\00:12:44.18
And, since you asked, this
is facilitated by two hours of
00:12:44.28\00:12:49.80
delta wave sleep before
midnight. So, if you go to bed
00:12:49.90\00:12:54.41
at 10 o'clock... yes... at least
by 10 o'clock that's important.
00:12:54.51\00:12:58.35
Yes. What if you
work the night shift?
00:12:58.45\00:12:59.87
Then you shape your
biorhythms for the day
00:12:59.97\00:13:02.83
and it will work fine. In
other words, you really darken
00:13:02.93\00:13:06.82
your room, you do all those
different things, so you think
00:13:06.92\00:13:08.54
it's night. Right! And
this will work just fine.
00:13:08.65\00:13:11.43
So there is hope for everybody,
but we need wisdom for everybody
00:13:11.54\00:13:15.50
for prevention. Um-hmm.
Prevention. Hard to beat!
00:13:15.60\00:13:19.38
Hard to beat? Yes! OK,
any other things that we
00:13:19.48\00:13:22.22
shouldn't do or we
SHOULD DO for our frontal lobe?
00:13:22.33\00:13:24.97
Another way to make a
lobotomy is with silverware.
00:13:25.07\00:13:28.66
Silverware
lobotomy? Overuse of the fork
00:13:28.76\00:13:31.91
will do the job, particularly on
entrees like... you've heard of
00:13:32.01\00:13:36.22
dead pig? Dead pig! Yes!
Well I've never heard it called
00:13:36.32\00:13:39.77
that... yes...
When people eat dead pig
00:13:39.87\00:13:42.85
the saturated fat and the other
chemicals that are in there
00:13:42.95\00:13:46.60
they do a job on
arteries. First in the heart
00:13:46.70\00:13:52.01
and then 10 or 15 years
later on the brain arteries.
00:13:52.11\00:13:55.00
I see. So in other words,
high-fat, high-cholesterol...
00:13:55.11\00:13:58.48
those different types of things.
Do they work... when they get
00:13:58.58\00:14:02.75
to the brain - they probably go
through the blood - do they work
00:14:02.85\00:14:05.27
first of all again on the
small cells like you were saying
00:14:05.37\00:14:07.58
earlier? Yes... through
oxygen deficiency. I see.
00:14:07.68\00:14:11.23
Why the brain just gradually
dies from the top down...
00:14:11.33\00:14:15.30
and the top is the frontal lobe.
Um-hmm. So it does a job on it.
00:14:15.40\00:14:20.16
Another way to do a lobotomy
would be with conventional
00:14:20.26\00:14:25.25
education. Conventional
education? What do you mean
00:14:25.35\00:14:28.23
by that? Conventional education
stuffs the back of the brain
00:14:28.33\00:14:32.01
with information and the media
stuff the bottom of the brain
00:14:32.11\00:14:37.16
with hedonistic garbage.
Ok, unpack that a bit for me.
00:14:37.26\00:14:42.31
The media goes right through the
frontal brain and it is stored
00:14:42.41\00:14:45.05
somewhere else? No, it
activates, facilitates, and
00:14:45.15\00:14:49.58
enriches. It builds the bottom
of the brain with conventional
00:14:49.68\00:14:53.79
media. Now 3ABN is different!
OK! So... but ordinary
00:14:53.89\00:14:58.88
commercialized Hollywood
will jam the bottom of the brain
00:14:58.98\00:15:03.41
with negative inputs. Like
you've heard/we've all heard it:
00:15:03.51\00:15:08.22
garbage in, garbage out.
00:15:08.32\00:15:10.94
So, the types of music you
listen to... oh yes... the types
00:15:11.04\00:15:13.62
of things you see... yes...
you are saying that certain
00:15:13.73\00:15:16.07
things go right past the frontal
lobe? Well if the frontal lobe
00:15:16.17\00:15:20.65
is healthy, that
can be controlled.
00:15:20.75\00:15:22.49
But a lot of people have enough
brains and presence of mind
00:15:22.59\00:15:26.86
to turn the media on but
not enough to turn it off
00:15:26.96\00:15:31.40
or change it. Um-hmm. So...
it feeds not the place where the
00:15:31.50\00:15:37.26
will power is... but...
yes... the lower nature.
00:15:37.36\00:15:40.80
OK. So, it gets
things... the ox before the...
00:15:40.90\00:15:44.54
or the cart before
the ox so to speak.
00:15:44.65\00:15:46.44
Now, another way
to produce lobotomy
00:15:46.54\00:15:50.12
is with conventional
church. Conventional church?
00:15:50.22\00:15:53.66
Wait a minute, I want
to spend some time on that.
00:15:53.69\00:15:56.01
We are going to go to a
break. We've been talking to
00:15:56.11\00:15:58.45
Dr. Bernell Baldwin. He's
a brain scientist, and he has
00:15:58.55\00:16:02.32
told us about the
brain. When we come back we are
00:16:02.42\00:16:04.55
going to talk about some
other effects of damaging our
00:16:04.65\00:16:07.42
frontal lobe... and
how to fix it. Join us.
00:16:07.52\00:16:10.48
Have you found yourself wishing
that you could shed a few
00:16:16.69\00:16:18.74
pounds? Have you been on
a diet for most of your life
00:16:18.84\00:16:21.86
but not found anything that
will really keep the weight off?
00:16:21.96\00:16:24.91

00:17:13.26\00:17:15.63
Welcome back. We've been
talking with Dr. Bernell Baldwin
00:17:18.03\00:17:20.85
and Dr. Baldwin's
a brain scientist.
00:17:20.95\00:17:23.81
We're glad that you're with us
today... a neuro-physiologist.
00:17:23.91\00:17:26.98
And we've been
talking about the frontal lobe
00:17:27.08\00:17:29.75
and the importance of
that, how to keep it healthy.
00:17:29.85\00:17:32.10
Ways that we can damage
it, and we were talking about
00:17:32.21\00:17:36.13
ways to damage the frontal
lobe. We are going to end on a
00:17:36.23\00:17:38.39
positive note about
how to fix it, I assume?
00:17:38.49\00:17:40.29
Oh yes... But one of the
things you had mentioned was
00:17:40.39\00:17:43.93
conventional church can be very
damaging to our frontal lobe.
00:17:44.03\00:17:48.52
What did you mean by that?
Well, the average church is
00:17:48.63\00:17:53.29
a low-voltage party. And
what you mean by low-voltage
00:17:53.39\00:17:58.28
is that it doesn't electrically
stimulate our brain?
00:17:58.38\00:18:01.71
Is that what you mean?
Right. In the right places.
00:18:01.81\00:18:04.39
OK. See. What really
should happen in church is
00:18:04.49\00:18:08.02
people should come together
and you should have social
00:18:08.12\00:18:10.83
reinforced experiencing
God's love, His truth, and
00:18:10.93\00:18:16.52
His power! OK. So
what you are saying
00:18:16.62\00:18:19.17
in conventional churches
that doesn't happen? Are you
00:18:19.28\00:18:21.05
saying, right, conventional
churches don't have love, truth,
00:18:21.15\00:18:22.90
and power? Theoretically...
but it doesn't get the back row.
00:18:23.00\00:18:28.53
What do you mean by that?
00:18:28.64\00:18:30.09
I mean by this that
usually the minister is thinking
00:18:30.30\00:18:36.28
boring thoughts; he's preaching
boring messages; and the people
00:18:36.38\00:18:40.45
are having are
having a boring experience!
00:18:40.55\00:18:42.05
I see. Well, some people say the
way to fix that up is to have
00:18:42.15\00:18:46.19
contemporary music with a heavy
beat or this or that to have
00:18:46.29\00:18:50.16
drama, have different things
that include different parts of
00:18:50.26\00:18:52.92
the brain. Is that true?
False? What would you say?
00:18:53.02\00:18:55.40
Well, they are getting warm.
But a better way would be like
00:18:55.50\00:19:01.19
the apostolic church did
it. OK. And, here's the way they
00:19:01.29\00:19:05.58
did it. They got together
and they prayed together,
00:19:05.68\00:19:08.96
and they asked God to cleanse
their lives and prepare them to
00:19:09.06\00:19:13.81
reach the world
in one generation.
00:19:13.91\00:19:15.95
Um-hmm. And they got so
clean and so open and so united
00:19:16.06\00:19:21.31
that the Holy Spirit
turned on Pentecostal blessing.
00:19:21.41\00:19:25.11
and they turned the whole world
right-side-up in one generation.
00:19:25.21\00:19:28.89
Wow! So in other words,
letting the Holy Spirit,
00:19:28.99\00:19:33.47
the ultimate high-voltage
presentation come in and, yes...
00:19:33.57\00:19:37.68
Let me just follow up on
this because recently I was
00:19:37.78\00:19:40.82
listening to someone who
was lecturing on this subject
00:19:40.92\00:19:44.36
- a friend gave me a tape - and
there was the suggestion that
00:19:44.46\00:19:47.68
the brain has
different quadrants: right lobe,
00:19:47.78\00:19:52.12
upper lobe, right lower
lobe, left upper lobe... yes...
00:19:52.22\00:19:55.42
in other words four quadrants.
And then the suggestion was made
00:19:55.52\00:19:59.09
that, hey, all of these
different parts of the brain
00:19:59.19\00:20:02.42
experience
worship in different ways.
00:20:02.52\00:20:04.50
One is very conservative;
one is very non-conservative.
00:20:04.60\00:20:08.08
One is this way; one is that
way. Is there anything to that?
00:20:08.18\00:20:11.39
I'm speaking as a
neuro- physiologist.
00:20:11.49\00:20:13.74
Oh yes. Now in neurophysiology,
brain science, the brain has
00:20:13.84\00:20:17.47
five lobes. OK.
Five lobes on each side.
00:20:17.57\00:20:22.12
All right. So this
gives you ten for starters.
00:20:22.22\00:20:26.50
So the four idea
is out? Oh yes, yes.
00:20:26.60\00:20:30.39
They do not fly... not
fly with a neurophysiologist.
00:20:30.49\00:20:33.62
Not in brain
science. OK. In anatomy.
00:20:33.72\00:20:35.93
See I've got a professional
model here of the brain
00:20:36.03\00:20:38.09
that cost bookoo bucks,
and the brain is not divided in
00:20:38.19\00:20:43.90
quadrants. So in other words
to make those applications is
00:20:44.00\00:20:47.08
a stretch. More than a stretch,
it's a leap of the imagination
00:20:47.18\00:20:52.31
instead of faith. Um-hmm.
Well let's come back to this.
00:20:52.41\00:20:56.14
Yes. So in other words then you
know a quote comes to my mind
00:20:56.25\00:21:01.28
the most profitable meetings for
spiritual advancement are those
00:21:01.38\00:21:06.67
which are characterized by
solemnity and deep searching
00:21:06.77\00:21:10.06
of heart. Yes. Your
statement is exactly right
00:21:10.16\00:21:14.99
because in true worship
the frontal lobe is alive,
00:21:15.09\00:21:19.84
awake, and active...
um-hmm... instead of on a shelf
00:21:19.94\00:21:25.29
while the drumbeats of
Babylon are pacing the brain.
00:21:25.39\00:21:30.22
So it has everything to
do with what type of stimuli
00:21:30.32\00:21:36.14
what they do when they
arrive at our eyes or our ears
00:21:36.24\00:21:40.12
or what not. Exactly! Exactly!
Well let's talk... you know,
00:21:40.22\00:21:44.78
we have several minutes
here where I want to just really
00:21:44.88\00:21:47.70
focus in on what we can do
to maybe make our brain healthy
00:21:47.80\00:21:52.91
or get us on
the right foot. Yes.
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.97
Let's go through
some different things.
00:21:55.07\00:21:56.38
Let's say I'm a parent,
I'm a mother, and I want my
00:21:56.42\00:21:58.32
children to have
healthy frontal lobes.
00:21:58.42\00:22:00.40
Yes... it's very simple.
Here's they way to do it.
00:22:00.50\00:22:03.05
Study the Bible and you
will learn a mother should never
00:22:03.15\00:22:06.64
drink alcohol... OK... because
when they drink even a little
00:22:06.74\00:22:11.45
bit of alcohol... Since
women are deficient in alcohol
00:22:11.55\00:22:14.21
dehydrogenase, then they
spoil the brain electronically
00:22:14.31\00:22:18.86
before they are born... I
see. So that instead of the
00:22:18.96\00:22:22.07
frontal lobe being in charge why
the hypothalamus is running the
00:22:22.17\00:22:25.53
show. So... if someone's
pregnant, someone's watching,
00:22:25.63\00:22:29.47
especially avoid
this. What about smoking?
00:22:29.57\00:22:31.38
Smoking... that's
for the carburetor.
00:22:31.48\00:22:33.95
We are dealing with a computer
00:22:34.04\00:22:36.07
here... OK... this morning.
Another thing that can be done:
00:22:36.10\00:22:38.81
steady, excellent nutrition.
Another thing: action is the law
00:22:38.91\00:22:44.70
of the being from a classic
called Ministry of Healing
00:22:44.80\00:22:48.03
on 37. So if the child, if
the person is active and busy
00:22:48.13\00:22:53.37
this will really
help the frontal lobe.
00:22:53.47\00:22:56.08
Another thing is real
problem solving for the family,
00:22:56.18\00:22:59.42
for the community,
will build up the brain.
00:22:59.55\00:23:01.76
OK. And how soon can this start?
Two years old? Three years old?
00:23:01.86\00:23:05.68
Four years old?
Five years old? Yes.
00:23:05.78\00:23:07.00
Eleven years old? It can
start out before you are born
00:23:07.10\00:23:08.82
OK. and goes right on through.
00:23:08.92\00:23:10.46
Another thing is
balanced education.
00:23:10.56\00:23:12.78
Unless you have harmonious
development of the front of the
00:23:12.89\00:23:16.18
brain for inspiration, the back
of the brain for information,
00:23:16.28\00:23:20.25
and the bottom of the
brain for motivation action,
00:23:20.35\00:23:24.01
you don't have a good
brain. OK. So, inspiration,
00:23:24.11\00:23:27.80
motivation, and what
was that again? Action!
00:23:27.91\00:23:29.91
Action. What about music?
You hear a lot today about the
00:23:30.01\00:23:33.05
Mozart effect and
listening to this type of music
00:23:33.16\00:23:35.46
and that supposedly helps your
brain. Is that true or false?
00:23:35.56\00:23:38.90
It's just... sure, it's true.
It's just like David and Saul.
00:23:39.03\00:23:42.66
Good music calms the
violent tendencies of a person.
00:23:42.96\00:23:48.89
Um-hmm. It unites; it smoothes
down the rough edges and
00:23:48.99\00:23:53.01
it brings peace and beauty to
the mind instead of confusion.
00:23:53.11\00:23:57.00
Let's say I've been involved
in drugs, I've listened to,
00:23:57.15\00:23:59.56
you know, music that perhaps
is not the best for my mind
00:23:59.66\00:24:02.22
and I'm wanting to get started
back again. I'm a young adult,
00:24:02.33\00:24:05.73
and I want to do
something different.
00:24:05.83\00:24:07.59
What would you say
to that individual?
00:24:07.69\00:24:10.16
In what sector? In what area?
00:24:10.26\00:24:13.65
Well. They need to
get on a program: OK.
00:24:13.75\00:24:15.87
Twenty-four hours a
day of positive living
00:24:15.97\00:24:18.06
instead of negative living. All
right, so... The abundant life
00:24:18.17\00:24:22.05
is participatory. Um-hmm.
So when God's grace is a friend
00:24:22.16\00:24:27.61
and when we cooperate with
heaven, then the brain blossoms
00:24:27.71\00:24:31.85
like a garden in
the Spring and Summer.
00:24:31.95\00:24:34.93
OK. So in other words, get
them on a program. What would be
00:24:35.03\00:24:37.31
the program? What would they do?
What kind of music would they
00:24:37.41\00:24:39.67
listen to? What would
they read? What would they eat?
00:24:39.77\00:24:41.87
The day starts at
night, just like Genesis.
00:24:41.97\00:24:45.02
They need to go to bed at night.
They need superb, delta-wave
00:24:45.13\00:24:48.66
sleep by 10 o'clock every night.
No. 2: they need to get up
00:24:48.76\00:24:52.60
in the morning, take them a good
hot and cold shower, and get
00:24:52.70\00:24:56.90
a real dose of the
finest software in the world.
00:24:57.00\00:25:01.10
Namely: the Bible -
right there. Is that right?
00:25:01.20\00:25:05.41
Best software in the world
for the frontal lobe and for the
00:25:05.51\00:25:07.69
whole brain. Then they
need to get a real breakfast.
00:25:07.79\00:25:10.19
The best nutrition in a
donut is the hole in the center.
00:25:10.29\00:25:14.76
What about exercise? Of
course, exercise and good work.
00:25:14.86\00:25:19.31
As a matter of fact, serious
motivated work will build up
00:25:19.41\00:25:24.22
the strength of the will.
Located right under my second
00:25:24.32\00:25:27.71
finger. And this is one
reason why fishermen were chosen
00:25:27.81\00:25:32.30
by the Great Physician to be His
leaders instead of the big shots
00:25:32.40\00:25:38.17
in Jerusalem. Why is
that? Explain that...
00:25:38.27\00:25:40.43
Because they were workers
instead of hair splitters.
00:25:40.53\00:25:43.47
I see. Now, you know, during
the break you and I were talking
00:25:43.57\00:25:47.71
and you said it's
actually possible to erase
00:25:47.81\00:25:51.09
bad connections that
have been made in the brain.
00:25:51.20\00:25:53.14
Yes. Tell me about that.
00:25:53.24\00:25:54.41
New brain research shows
that a special enzymatic process
00:25:54.51\00:25:58.49
called apoptosis can
completely erase a bad synapse
00:25:58.59\00:26:03.53
forever. How long does it take?
00:26:03.63\00:26:06.15
Just a few hours.
It's gone forever.
00:26:06.25\00:26:08.02
Well, how many synapses are
involved in say a bad habit?
00:26:08.12\00:26:11.64
Unknown... but
this could be thousands.
00:26:11.74\00:26:14.68
And so... but... but...
many of these synapses, you see,
00:26:14.78\00:26:19.38
when the will chooses
God can perform a miracle
00:26:19.48\00:26:25.00
in the brain when we
choose to cooperate with Him.
00:26:25.10\00:26:27.72
OK, now, you know, the
Bible says that He wills to do
00:26:27.82\00:26:32.46
His good pleasure in us.
Exactly. What's the... quickly
00:26:32.56\00:26:35.92
as we end here, yes, what's
the difference between our will
00:26:36.02\00:26:39.68
and His will and how do
we get them working together?
00:26:39.78\00:26:41.50
Oh, by total cooperation.
We give ourselves to Him
00:26:41.60\00:26:46.45
and He gives Himself to
us. Philippians 2: we work out
00:26:46.55\00:26:51.16
what He works in. OK. And
that combination is a winner!
00:26:51.26\00:26:55.74
Doctor, any other parting
words that you can say about the
00:26:57.42\00:27:00.69
frontal lobe? Let's just say you
are talking just to families,
00:27:00.79\00:27:03.82
pastors, teachers, doctors,
or whoever and you are saying
00:27:03.92\00:27:07.30
I want you to hear this
one thing. It's very simple!
00:27:07.40\00:27:10.16
Galatians 6:7. "God is
not mocked, be not deceived.
00:27:10.26\00:27:14.30
Whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap. "
00:27:14.40\00:27:19.55
This will work! How
positive to hear that.
00:27:19.65\00:27:23.06
This will work, or maybe, He
can work in us to will and do
00:27:23.16\00:27:27.38
His good pleasure. We
have been talking with
00:27:27.48\00:27:29.46
Dr. Bernell Baldwin. We have
discovered that from a brain
00:27:29.56\00:27:34.05
scientist's perspective there
is hope and there's good news
00:27:34.15\00:27:37.16
for the brain. There are some
things that we should avoid.
00:27:37.26\00:27:39.29
If you've just tuned in, I would
recommend that you get in touch
00:27:39.39\00:27:42.30
with 3ABN and say, hey,
when is this going to air again.
00:27:42.40\00:27:44.95
You'll learn some
important lessons.
00:27:45.05\00:27:46.67
Doesn't matter whatever you
do in life. And I know that as a
00:27:46.77\00:27:50.65
result of this program,
your relationship with the Lord
00:27:50.75\00:27:53.88
and with other
people will be strengthened,
00:27:53.91\00:27:55.88
and you'll have health
that lasts for a lifetime.
00:27:55.98\00:27:59.39
