Welcome to
"Health for a Lifetime"
00:00:47.10\00:00:48.78
I'm your host Don Mackintosh
00:00:48.81\00:00:50.52
and today, I'm delighted
to welcome Dr. Bernell Baldwin
00:00:50.55\00:00:53.52
from Wildwood, and you
are a neurophysiologist. Right
00:00:53.55\00:00:59.48
Before you were at Wildwood,
you taught medical students,
00:00:59.51\00:01:02.57
and other students, and
have lectured many places.
00:01:02.60\00:01:05.72
Your Ph. D. was in
what? Brain science.
00:01:05.75\00:01:08.90
And what did
you study back then?
00:01:08.93\00:01:10.75
Back then, at George
Washington University,
00:01:10.78\00:01:13.64
I got a master's
degree in physiology,
00:01:13.67\00:01:16.36
and a doctor's
degree in neurophysiology,
00:01:16.39\00:01:20.22
with particular emphasis
of the brain on the heart...
00:01:20.23\00:01:24.45
And how the heart TICKS,
00:01:24.48\00:01:27.01
and how the brain
can shape this ticking.
00:01:27.04\00:01:30.09
Well today, we're going to
be talking about heart disease,
00:01:30.12\00:01:32.30
and so you're going to
bring some of that information
00:01:32.31\00:01:34.18
to us, I'm sure...
00:01:34.19\00:01:35.47
But you recently
attended a big conference...
00:01:35.50\00:01:38.36
Tell us about that.
00:01:38.39\00:01:39.94
Well, the
American Heart Association,
00:01:39.97\00:01:42.94
at the yearly
meetings in Atlanta, Georgia...
00:01:42.97\00:01:45.93
I was there on
assignment from the
00:01:45.96\00:01:47.61
"Journal of Health and Healing"
00:01:47.62\00:01:49.12
and would like to bring
to you, in a few minutes,
00:01:49.15\00:01:51.37
the cream of the heart meetings!
00:01:51.40\00:01:54.40
Okay, great!
What's the big news?
00:01:54.43\00:01:58.49
The BIG news is
from Cleveland Clinic.
00:01:58.52\00:02:01.97
They analyzed with
the latest techniques,
00:02:02.00\00:02:06.15
the coronary
arteries of young people,
00:02:06.18\00:02:08.98
and here's what they found...
00:02:09.01\00:02:10.61
One out of 6 American teenagers
has got atherosclerosis NOW.
00:02:10.64\00:02:17.12
So hardening of the
arteries, 1 out of 6 teenagers,
00:02:17.15\00:02:20.24
13 years old?
Yes, it starts young.
00:02:20.27\00:02:25.11
Other researchers have shown
that occasionally a baby boy
00:02:25.14\00:02:29.95
will have earliest damage
in the heart just after birth.
00:02:29.98\00:02:36.56
How can that be?
00:02:36.57\00:02:38.26
Because of the
lifestyle of the parents.
00:02:38.29\00:02:41.82
So the type of
formula, the type of what?
00:02:41.85\00:02:44.54
The type of blood
going through the placenta
00:02:44.57\00:02:47.73
from what mother
is eating... I see
00:02:47.76\00:02:50.84
And also, these diseases
are commonly multifactorial.
00:02:50.87\00:02:56.76
If mother is angry, if
mother is not peaceful,
00:02:56.79\00:03:03.34
and loved, and is not secure,
00:03:03.37\00:03:08.84
this can have
effect on the question.
00:03:08.87\00:03:11.41
Okay... 1 out of 6 teenagers
have got it in America now.
00:03:11.44\00:03:17.68
In 20 years of
age, way up into the 20%
00:03:17.71\00:03:21.94
have got atherosclerosis now,
00:03:21.97\00:03:24.26
and by 40 years of age...
00:03:24.29\00:03:26.22
...now if this is all you've
got in this whole program,
00:03:26.23\00:03:28.47
you would get
your times worth...
00:03:28.50\00:03:31.38
By 40 years of age,
70% of Americans have got
00:03:31.41\00:03:36.67
atherosclerosis of
the coronary artery NOW!
00:03:36.70\00:03:40.81
So what we mean by the
coronary artery then is
00:03:40.84\00:03:44.56
the crowning artery...
that's what coronary means. Yes
00:03:44.59\00:03:47.68
Does that mean that
this atherosclerosis starts
00:03:47.71\00:03:49.69
somewhere else and
then finally gets to the
00:03:49.72\00:03:51.79
coronary artery? Or
does it start there?
00:03:51.82\00:03:53.84
It starts there
and here's why...
00:03:53.87\00:03:55.92
Because every time the heart
beats, the heart is stretched,
00:03:55.95\00:03:59.81
the arteries are
bent, they're twisted,
00:03:59.84\00:04:04.94
and technically
they're tethered,
00:04:04.97\00:04:07.34
fastened at the heart,
and when they're pulled
00:04:07.37\00:04:09.45
at the bottom, this
puts BIG STRESS on the
00:04:09.48\00:04:12.42
coronary arteries
EVERY TIME the heart beats.
00:04:12.45\00:04:14.77
So that's where the
disease actually STARTS. Right!
00:04:14.80\00:04:17.72
It doesn't start like in the
aorta or somewhere else. Right
00:04:17.75\00:04:20.84
It starts right there. Right
00:04:20.87\00:04:22.27
Okay. Where are the coronary
arteries on your model here?
00:04:22.30\00:04:26.56
"Left main" would be
right there under my finger.
00:04:26.59\00:04:31.05
And here comes the
"left anterior descending"
00:04:31.08\00:04:34.05
right down here... that RED line
00:04:34.08\00:04:36.04
So-called "widow-maker"
00:04:36.07\00:04:38.94
The widow-maker is
up here, the left main,
00:04:38.97\00:04:41.92
and you have the "circumflex"
going around the back,
00:04:41.95\00:04:44.23
and you have
the "right coronary"
00:04:44.26\00:04:45.63
going over the
other side; 3 main ones
00:04:45.66\00:04:48.65
This one right here
is the BIG problem... YES
00:04:48.68\00:04:53.89
So then, you were
saying by 40 years of age,
00:04:53.92\00:04:56.85
70% have the problem.
00:04:56.88\00:05:00.42
How BIG is the
problem that they have?
00:05:00.45\00:05:02.28
SIGNIFICANT! PLAQUES!
00:05:02.31\00:05:05.28
And this means that the average
middle-aged person you meet
00:05:05.31\00:05:10.49
has got atherosclerosis right
now, and they don't know it.
00:05:10.52\00:05:16.05
They have the idea
that heart attacks are like
00:05:16.08\00:05:18.92
banana peelings with fatalism,
00:05:18.95\00:05:21.85
and if you get a heart attack,
well, you go to the hospital.
00:05:21.88\00:05:25.15
...Not realizing that in
a few years after the heart
00:05:25.18\00:05:30.80
gets atherosclerosis,
the brain gets it,
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.83
so you get brain
attacks 10 or 15 years
00:05:32.86\00:05:36.17
after the heart attacks.
00:05:36.20\00:05:38.66
So why is this so silent, and
you've heard of sudden deaths
00:05:38.69\00:05:43.60
probably, how big a problem is
sudden death in this age group?
00:05:43.63\00:05:48.58
Well, sudden death
wouldn't be too common,
00:05:48.61\00:05:53.21
but, of course, the commonest
00:05:53.24\00:05:54.47
cause of death in America would
be coronary artery disease,
00:05:54.50\00:05:58.70
and this is a very big problem.
00:05:58.73\00:06:00.54
But the implications
of this are fantastic.
00:06:00.57\00:06:02.74
This means, folks, that
the American lifestyle is
00:06:02.77\00:06:07.52
failing us miserably, not
just a little bit, miserably!
00:06:07.55\00:06:13.15
This means the AVERAGE American
00:06:13.18\00:06:16.47
is in BIG trouble
without knowing it.
00:06:16.50\00:06:19.41
So why is it so
silent, the disease...
00:06:19.44\00:06:22.23
Why aren't there
some more warning signs?
00:06:22.26\00:06:24.72
Well, because plaques
do not have nerves in them.
00:06:24.75\00:06:29.77
So you don't sense
it, you don't feel it.
00:06:29.80\00:06:32.12
You don't feel it,
and it's unnoticed.
00:06:32.15\00:06:37.66
So what we need to
do then is to get early
00:06:37.67\00:06:40.62
checkups; we need to
have more treadmill tests,
00:06:40.65\00:06:43.54
more cholesterol tests,
more careful histories...
00:06:43.57\00:06:48.01
about smoking
history. Why smoking?
00:06:48.04\00:06:51.53
Ostra, Denmark was
the first one to show
00:06:51.54\00:06:55.33
with scanning electron
microscopy that nicotine,
00:06:55.36\00:06:59.32
or carbon monoxide of
any kind of any source,
00:06:59.35\00:07:02.78
will put holes in the
lining of the coronary artery
00:07:02.81\00:07:06.58
so that normal cholesterol
levels will push the LDL
00:07:06.61\00:07:10.75
RIGHT through those little holes
00:07:10.78\00:07:12.51
and give you plaques and
00:07:12.54\00:07:15.27
heart attacks with a
normal cholesterol level.
00:07:15.30\00:07:17.96
So that carbon monoxide in
the smoke does that. Right!
00:07:17.99\00:07:22.08
Daddy's smoke,
mother's smoke, will do this.
00:07:22.09\00:07:26.95
What types of screening
can you do to see where
00:07:26.98\00:07:30.19
you are right now besides total
00:07:30.22\00:07:31.99
cholesterol like you
mentioned. A good blood test,
00:07:32.02\00:07:35.17
a REAL good history,
and then a treadmill test
00:07:35.20\00:07:39.82
would be indicated...
00:07:39.83\00:07:40.95
And, if they
failed the treadmill test,
00:07:40.98\00:07:43.22
or if the physician's
judgment indicates otherwise,
00:07:43.25\00:07:46.37
there are other
tests that could be done,
00:07:46.38\00:07:48.17
even to the tune of an
angiogram in some cases
00:07:48.20\00:07:53.70
would be very much indicated
to nip this thing in the BUD,
00:07:53.73\00:07:56.87
so it could be turned
around and people could LIVE
00:07:56.90\00:08:00.80
instead of retiring
being cardiac invalids.
00:08:00.83\00:08:05.89
So, what are some
of the first symptoms?
00:08:05.90\00:08:07.94
I know most people, it's
silent, but what are some of the
00:08:07.97\00:08:10.26
first symptoms if you
are having heart disease?
00:08:10.29\00:08:12.13
Pain in the chest.
Pain in the left arm.
00:08:12.14\00:08:15.67
Pain in the right
arm. Pain in the chest.
00:08:15.70\00:08:18.82
Pain going up the neck.
00:08:18.85\00:08:20.11
Occasionally, pain in the jaw.
00:08:20.14\00:08:22.30
Shortness of breath.
00:08:22.33\00:08:24.50
Those are some of
the FIRST signs... Yes
00:08:24.53\00:08:27.81
And then they can get a terrible
CRUSHING substernal pain
00:08:27.82\00:08:33.41
that lasts and it
doesn't fade away.
00:08:33.44\00:08:37.08
Then they need to go to the
hospital NOW, not tomorrow, NOW
00:08:37.11\00:08:42.60
Here's why, folks...
00:08:42.63\00:08:44.46
When you go to the
hospital IMMEDIATELY
00:08:44.49\00:08:47.97
with these telltale signs,
many times they can dissolve
00:08:47.98\00:08:54.15
that clot and CURE you...
00:08:54.18\00:08:57.21
Or at least, get on
top of the situation,
00:08:57.24\00:09:00.43
instead of
ruining the heart muscle.
00:09:00.46\00:09:04.54
Because, when
the coronary is shut,
00:09:04.57\00:09:08.29
that section of
the muscle may DIE,
00:09:08.32\00:09:11.45
and who wants a pump that
is one-quarter, one-third,
00:09:11.48\00:09:17.87
or one-half SHUT?
00:09:17.88\00:09:20.64
No, this is not the way to live.
00:09:20.65\00:09:24.24
So, early checkups starting
at age 25? More than that?
00:09:24.25\00:09:30.33
Yes, it depends if the
family history is prominent,
00:09:30.36\00:09:34.34
then earlier than that.
00:09:34.37\00:09:35.57
They say this...
00:09:35.60\00:09:36.63
Heart disease is
a pediatric disease.
00:09:36.66\00:09:40.98
You see, a third of our
children and young people
00:09:41.01\00:09:43.00
are OBESE these days...
00:09:43.03\00:09:45.08
And with the junk food they
are feeding in high schools,
00:09:45.11\00:09:47.57
with the JUNK food they
are selling on television,
00:09:47.60\00:09:50.23
and with the terrible
appetites that people have,
00:09:50.26\00:09:53.75
we need to get on top of this...
00:09:53.78\00:09:55.70
So the distinct contribution
of this program today to AMERICA
00:09:55.73\00:09:59.79
is that AMERICA
has got this disease,
00:09:59.82\00:10:03.36
and we need to understand it;
00:10:03.39\00:10:06.17
we need to STOP it, and
we need to turn it around
00:10:06.20\00:10:09.89
as a society, not
just occasional patient
00:10:09.92\00:10:13.33
here and there... getting
serious about atherosclerosis.
00:10:13.36\00:10:17.99
But realistically, isn't
that kind of pie-in-the-sky
00:10:18.02\00:10:21.78
to think about that we could
really effect change like that?
00:10:21.81\00:10:24.83
I mean, most
people have their habits,
00:10:24.86\00:10:26.91
they have... what they like
and they are not going to change
00:10:26.94\00:10:30.16
and they'd rather have a pill.
00:10:30.19\00:10:31.44
What can we do
to really change it?
00:10:31.47\00:10:33.60
Yes... well, we can
raise their consciousness,
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.80
and we could explain
to them and teach them,
00:10:36.83\00:10:38.96
so that the WISE
people, the SMART people
00:10:38.99\00:10:41.87
can get serious
about this epidemic.
00:10:41.88\00:10:44.80
And, the ones that are really
in trouble need to go to a
00:10:44.83\00:10:47.43
lifestyle center where
they have serious nutrition,
00:10:47.46\00:10:52.67
where they have
socially reinforced exercise,
00:10:52.70\00:10:55.64
and where they have good
Christian stress control.
00:10:55.65\00:11:01.16
It's the best kind there is!
00:11:01.17\00:11:03.30
Now, when did we first start
hearing about heart disease?
00:11:03.33\00:11:07.24
Heart disease... In
terms of atherosclerosis
00:11:07.27\00:11:10.81
Oh my, in the 50s.
00:11:10.84\00:11:13.74
And what brought
it to our attention?
00:11:13.77\00:11:15.94
The sequelae of the
rich diet in America.
00:11:15.97\00:11:20.49
Less exercise or work and
more eating, more silverware
00:11:20.52\00:11:24.93
So this was right
after World War II
00:11:24.96\00:11:29.75
The thing to answer your
question a little more deeply...
00:11:29.78\00:11:32.85
President Eisenhower's heart
attack alerted the whole country
00:11:32.88\00:11:37.23
And, here's what they aren't
telling you about Eisenhower...
00:11:37.26\00:11:40.84
Two physiologists,
fitness experts, tested
00:11:40.87\00:11:46.93
young school children,
and they found out that
00:11:46.96\00:11:50.38
American school
children were WEAKER,
00:11:50.41\00:11:53.04
had less fixed
flexibility, less endurance,
00:11:53.07\00:11:57.07
and less physical
FITNESS than Europeans.
00:11:57.10\00:12:00.53
And when Eisenhower
found out about this,
00:12:00.56\00:12:02.31
he said, "We're
going to stop this"
00:12:02.34\00:12:05.04
And so he flew out to Colorado,
played 27 holes of golf
00:12:05.07\00:12:09.68
in one day and ate
2 big hamburgers...
00:12:09.69\00:12:12.50
and got him a heart attack!
00:12:12.53\00:12:14.56
All because he wanted to show
people how healthy he was. Yes!
00:12:14.59\00:12:18.00
And then when Kennedy
made the same discovery,
00:12:18.03\00:12:21.09
since he was a
semi-invalid already,
00:12:21.10\00:12:23.39
he had other
people do the exercise.
00:12:23.42\00:12:26.58
Who do you mean
"Kennedy" THE KENNEDY! JOHN!
00:12:26.61\00:12:31.25
The father of
the... No, the PRESIDENT.
00:12:31.26\00:12:34.60
The President... Yeah
00:12:34.63\00:12:36.79
Yeah, he had a
physical therapist visit him
00:12:36.82\00:12:39.50
in the White House and
they put a swimming pool
00:12:39.53\00:12:41.57
in the basement so that he
could get exercise in private.
00:12:41.60\00:12:46.22
And so this brought
it to the attention...
00:12:46.25\00:12:47.95
Of course, now explain that...
00:12:47.98\00:12:49.35
Why did Eisenhower
have a heart attack
00:12:49.38\00:12:52.35
after those 2 big
hamburgers and 27 holes of golf?
00:12:52.38\00:12:55.04
Yeah, because excess exercise
does 2 things in the blood.
00:12:55.07\00:13:01.85
#1... It makes the platelets
more sticky and more pushy
00:13:01.88\00:13:06.80
to clots...
Because of dehydration?
00:13:06.83\00:13:09.08
No, because of catecholamines...
00:13:09.11\00:13:11.47
And these platelets
instead of staying apart,
00:13:11.50\00:13:13.68
they STICK TOGETHER
and they stick to the
00:13:13.69\00:13:15.89
coronary arteries
and they go like this...
00:13:15.92\00:13:17.91
stick, stick, stick, PLUG!
00:13:17.94\00:13:20.99
So the platelets are
the things that make a clot,
00:13:21.02\00:13:23.70
and when we overdo exercise...
00:13:23.73\00:13:25.71
In other words, if you're
watching this and you say...
00:13:25.74\00:13:27.81
"Okay, I'm not going
to have heart disease,
00:13:27.84\00:13:29.12
I'm going to go out and
exercise all day today,"
00:13:29.15\00:13:30.66
...it's not a
good idea. Moderation!
00:13:30.69\00:13:34.86
We've got evidence on this.
00:13:34.89\00:13:38.25
"New England Journal
of Medicine", 12/02/93,
00:13:38.28\00:13:43.49
Lead article from
Boston, 2,000 patients.
00:13:43.52\00:13:47.02
Second article from Augsburg,
Germany, about 2,000 patients
00:13:47.05\00:13:51.56
And here's what
people have never heard of...
00:13:51.59\00:13:53.90
They don't know that
jogging makes the platelets
00:13:53.93\00:13:59.52
more sticky and clumpy.
00:13:59.55\00:14:01.87
Any exercise that
is 6 met intensity...
00:14:01.90\00:14:06.51
That means like pushing your
car in the snow all by yourself.
00:14:06.52\00:14:10.36
This means like
COMPETITIVE tennis.
00:14:10.39\00:14:13.45
This means like RACQUETBALL.
00:14:13.48\00:14:15.45
This means like...
a panting basketball.
00:14:15.48\00:14:19.90
All of those activities
do 2 things to the blood...
00:14:19.93\00:14:22.66
I already mentioned platelets.
00:14:22.69\00:14:24.01
#2... The liver doesn't
have enough nutritive blood flow
00:14:24.02\00:14:28.78
in the liver to keep you
plasma and enzymes proper level,
00:14:28.81\00:14:34.18
so that you have
a double whammy...
00:14:34.21\00:14:37.23
Too much clot
pushing with the adrenalin,
00:14:37.26\00:14:40.98
and the
catecholamines, and not enough
00:14:41.01\00:14:43.77
plasma to dissolve the clot.
00:14:43.80\00:14:45.93
So the net effect is, the
New England Journal of Medicine
00:14:45.96\00:14:48.68
estimates, 25,000 extra deaths
00:14:48.71\00:14:53.24
every year because
of immoderate exercise.
00:14:53.27\00:14:57.14
So, should we never
play basketball or these
00:14:57.17\00:14:59.28
different kinds of things,
or jog, or this kind of thing?
00:14:59.31\00:15:01.85
What's the best kind
of exercise? Not panting!
00:15:01.88\00:15:03.27
Walking is much
better, swimming,
00:15:03.28\00:15:06.82
a descent speed bicycle,
00:15:06.85\00:15:10.30
working in the
garden... much better.
00:15:10.33\00:15:12.48
The ideal exercise would be a
genesis exercise... gardening!
00:15:12.51\00:15:19.15
So really, you know,
you hear people say that...
00:15:19.18\00:15:21.51
you have to have the heart rate
00:15:21.54\00:15:22.55
in a certain target
zone; it has to be there
00:15:22.58\00:15:24.21
for 20 minutes or 30
minutes. You don't...
00:15:24.24\00:15:26.51
That's shot years ago.
00:15:26.54\00:15:28.50
Okay, so what do you need to do?
00:15:28.53\00:15:31.62
You need the training
effect for the heart muscle,
00:15:31.63\00:15:34.07
and this can be
obtained very nicely by
00:15:34.10\00:15:36.83
a little longer
interval exercise in which you
00:15:36.86\00:15:40.31
train the heart
muscle and your body muscles,
00:15:40.34\00:15:43.63
and you also unwind the stress
00:15:43.66\00:15:47.02
from the boss
and the environment.
00:15:47.05\00:15:50.50
We're talking with
Dr. Bernell Baldwin
00:15:50.53\00:15:52.37
We're talking
about heart disease.
00:15:52.40\00:15:54.00
We're looking at some new
evidence and different things
00:15:54.03\00:15:56.52
that I think that
you'll be very interested in.
00:15:56.55\00:15:58.40
We want you to
AVOID heart attacks...
00:15:58.43\00:16:00.32
in all those
that you love as well,
00:16:00.35\00:16:02.21
and to do the things
that can lead to health.
00:16:02.24\00:16:04.65
Come back and we'll talk about
some practical applications.
00:16:04.68\00:16:07.36
Hope you join us!
00:16:07.39\00:16:10.71

Welcome back, we've been
talking with Dr. Bernell Baldwin
00:17:15.34\00:17:18.11
about heart disease.
00:17:18.12\00:17:19.17
This is really an
area of specialty for you.
00:17:19.20\00:17:21.25
You've been interested in the
00:17:21.29\00:17:22.29
heart and the brain
for a long time... Yes
00:17:22.32\00:17:24.14
One of the things that
you mentioned before the break
00:17:24.17\00:17:26.43
that I want to come
back to is this idea of
00:17:26.46\00:17:29.02
very competitive sports...
basketball... panting... things
00:17:29.05\00:17:32.91
You're suggesting
MODERATE exercise is better.
00:17:32.94\00:17:35.97
What about competition
and its effect on the heart?
00:17:36.00\00:17:40.45
Is it good or is it
bad, and why or why not?
00:17:40.46\00:17:43.26
The trouble with
competition is this...
00:17:43.29\00:17:45.67
It does more for the
ego than it does your heart.
00:17:45.68\00:17:50.87
Competition raises
the stress hormones.
00:17:50.90\00:17:53.44
Competition spoils
the microcirculation.
00:17:53.47\00:17:56.62
Concept: The ultimate
circulation is microcirculation.
00:17:56.65\00:18:02.06
And we want the small blood
vessels in the liver to be open.
00:18:02.09\00:18:07.09
In competition, the
shortcuts called "shunts"...
00:18:07.12\00:18:11.37
they open and the
little vessels shut...
00:18:11.40\00:18:15.22
And when the shunt is open,
the enzymology of the liver
00:18:15.25\00:18:19.54
is compromised; hence, the
plasmin goes down in the liver;
00:18:19.57\00:18:22.68
hence the clots; hence...
00:18:22.71\00:18:25.79
When you try to push a car
out of the snow all by yourself,
00:18:25.80\00:18:28.84
you can do yourself in.
00:18:28.85\00:18:31.48
Okay, so let me
summarize that again...
00:18:31.51\00:18:33.58
There was a lot
of big words there.
00:18:33.61\00:18:34.93
What you're saying is that
just by the way you're thinking,
00:18:34.96\00:18:38.08
the competitive
mode, it sends a message to
00:18:38.09\00:18:41.92
different parts of the body
that kind of shortcut things...
00:18:41.95\00:18:44.24
The blood doesn't get
everywhere it needs to be,
00:18:44.27\00:18:46.41
and so that type of exercise
is not as healthy. Right!
00:18:46.44\00:18:49.62
So if you have Mr.
X running behind Mr. Z
00:18:49.63\00:18:52.76
and he's going
because he wants to beat him,
00:18:52.79\00:18:55.85
rather than just for the
exercise, that's unhealthy!
00:18:55.88\00:18:58.28
Right! Right! For all concerned,
00:18:58.31\00:19:00.49
and it compromises
digestion in the stomach;
00:19:00.52\00:19:04.62
it compromises JOINT physiology;
00:19:04.65\00:19:08.28
it compromises blood
pressure control because you get
00:19:08.31\00:19:11.47
too much spasm
all over the place,
00:19:11.48\00:19:13.51
and not enough
relaxation of blood vessels.
00:19:13.54\00:19:16.44
Can you get this effect
by just watching someone
00:19:16.47\00:19:18.94
who's involved in
competitive sports? Of course!
00:19:18.97\00:19:21.15
It's damaging to even
watch competitive sports?
00:19:21.18\00:19:24.21
YES, since you ask.
00:19:24.24\00:19:28.12
Well I'm asking a
neurophysiologist,
00:19:28.15\00:19:30.22
I might as well as
ask while you're here.
00:19:30.25\00:19:31.95
So, if I'm watching a basketball
game, and I'm a couch potato,
00:19:31.98\00:19:35.49
and I'm going "YES, GO,
GO, GO" my liver is shunting
00:19:35.52\00:19:38.71
and all that stuff
you're talking about?
00:19:38.74\00:19:39.99
To a degree! It
wouldn't be perhaps as serious
00:19:40.02\00:19:42.92
as if you were losing
on the basketball court...
00:19:42.96\00:19:47.90
BUT, it's not the best!
00:19:47.93\00:19:52.45
When Margie and I
bought our last home,
00:19:52.48\00:19:54.31
there was a great BIG propane
tank in the back of the house...
00:19:54.34\00:19:57.68
We sent the thing to
town; I chopped my own wood.
00:19:57.71\00:20:03.80
Split my own wood.
We burn our own wood.
00:20:03.83\00:20:07.60
I get warm 3
times; 1. Fixing the wood.
00:20:07.63\00:20:11.81
2. By the
fireside. 3. In my heart!
00:20:11.84\00:20:17.81
Okay, so that's meaningful
exercise, but you're not
00:20:17.84\00:20:20.63
competing, you're wife is
not out there splitting wood
00:20:20.66\00:20:22.57
with you, so there's
no competition. Right
00:20:22.60\00:20:24.52
Speaking of your wife, what
about ladies and heart disease?
00:20:24.55\00:20:26.64
Is there a difference
between men and ladies?
00:20:26.67\00:20:28.24
Not enough difference.
00:20:28.25\00:20:30.32
The average lady
figures this way...
00:20:30.35\00:20:32.81
"Heart disease, I have estrogen"
00:20:32.84\00:20:36.75
And what they don't realize is
that after the change of life,
00:20:36.78\00:20:40.67
they get more
brain attacks than men...
00:20:40.70\00:20:44.22
And #2, they get heart
attacks just like men do.
00:20:44.25\00:20:46.69
So after menopause, they have
more problems than men. Right!
00:20:46.72\00:20:49.87
Bad news, and
they don't know this.
00:20:49.90\00:20:52.91
What about fat in the diet,
is any fat good for the heart?
00:20:52.94\00:20:56.21
Of course... Good fat is good
for the whole body in moderation
00:20:56.24\00:21:01.10
But the wrong kind of
fat, too much, will make your
00:21:01.13\00:21:05.82
waist and hips too
big, your pipes too small,
00:21:05.85\00:21:09.91
and your brain too conventional.
00:21:09.94\00:21:12.39
So what's the wrong kind of fat?
00:21:12.42\00:21:14.50
Saturated animal fat is
the worst kind of fat known.
00:21:14.53\00:21:18.84
And what's an
easy way to know that?
00:21:18.87\00:21:20.87
Someone told me once, what
it does at room temperature
00:21:20.90\00:21:23.66
is what it's going to
do in your body. Right!
00:21:23.69\00:21:25.77
Is that a good way to do it? Yes
00:21:25.80\00:21:27.19
Right. Olive oil is
EXCELLENT for the whole body.
00:21:27.22\00:21:32.03
It improves the
rate of learning.
00:21:32.04\00:21:34.27
Olive oil will help your
membranes all over the body,
00:21:34.30\00:21:39.05
and it does a neat job...
00:21:39.08\00:21:42.10
Hydroxytyrosol in extra
virgin olive oil will go
00:21:42.13\00:21:45.47
inside of your plaque,
and it will cool down your
00:21:45.50\00:21:48.53
plaque while you're
going into reversal.
00:21:48.56\00:21:52.88
I heard someone once
say that they've studied the
00:21:52.91\00:21:56.85
plaques of people in people
that died of heart attacks
00:21:56.88\00:21:59.29
that were on the
so-called Mediterranean diet,
00:21:59.32\00:22:01.53
they had olive oil
in their plaques. Yes
00:22:01.54\00:22:05.95
And what you're saying
makes sense in once sense,
00:22:05.98\00:22:08.02
but what about that
information. Moderation!
00:22:08.05\00:22:12.27
If you pluck the data from
the Mediterranean cultures,
00:22:12.30\00:22:16.15
and the olive cultures,
the people in the Mediterranean
00:22:16.18\00:22:21.38
are almost as good as Japanese,
clear until 40% fat in the diet.
00:22:21.41\00:22:26.99
Oh, so then when it gets up to
00:22:27.02\00:22:28.58
40% or more, then
you're in problems.
00:22:28.62\00:22:30.97
No matter what the
kind of fat is... YES
00:22:31.00\00:22:33.32
What about a pill?
00:22:33.35\00:22:34.41
You know, lots of
times people say...
00:22:34.44\00:22:35.56
"Hey, just give me a
pill, I want to do that"
00:22:35.59\00:22:37.25
STATINS! SURE!
00:22:37.28\00:22:39.03
Yeah, you see all
these different athletes,
00:22:39.06\00:22:41.23
and different
ones, and they're very
00:22:41.26\00:22:42.79
competitive
people and they say...
00:22:42.82\00:22:43.84
"I just take this pill
and it takes care of me"
00:22:43.87\00:22:45.78
Anything to that? Why SURE!
00:22:45.81\00:22:48.55
Statins will lower your
cholesterol, sure will...
00:22:48.58\00:22:51.11
But here's what the
public does not know...
00:22:51.14\00:22:53.27
and you aren't supposed to.
00:22:53.30\00:22:54.92
Look friends, if you
get on your computer,
00:22:54.95\00:22:59.59
and type in under
"search" "pubmed" - enter,
00:22:59.62\00:23:08.11
you can get access to 5 million
articles of health information
00:23:08.14\00:23:14.14
And you type up this
"statin adverse effects" - enter
00:23:14.17\00:23:20.92
And you will learn and
verify exactly what I'm saying,
00:23:20.95\00:23:26.44
that the new high-priced statins
00:23:26.47\00:23:28.82
that people are
taking all over the world,
00:23:28.85\00:23:31.03
compromise your mitochondria
so you have less and less
00:23:31.04\00:23:35.33
ENERGY to live life while
you're lowering your cholesterol
00:23:35.36\00:23:41.19
Isn't that a set-back?
00:23:41.22\00:23:42.66
So it takes away, the
mitochondria, the powerhouses
00:23:42.69\00:23:45.39
of the cell that would give you
power... It compromises them!
00:23:45.42\00:23:47.27
...That makes them bad.
00:23:47.30\00:23:48.37
Are there any natural-occurring
statins that are better for you
00:23:48.40\00:23:50.75
than the
medicines? Oh yes indeed!
00:23:50.78\00:23:51.81
I have a
specially designed red pill.
00:23:51.84\00:23:54.52
A red one! What is it?
00:23:54.55\00:23:56.57
This big around! Strawberry?
00:23:56.60\00:23:59.34
Called an APPLE! An
apple... that's a statin?
00:23:59.37\00:24:02.19
Yes, a red apple, by new
evidence is a natural statin.
00:24:02.22\00:24:06.69
And it TASTES good!
00:24:06.72\00:24:08.54
So, an apple a day
helps keep the mortician away.
00:24:08.57\00:24:12.22
All right! Now what if you have
00:24:12.25\00:24:13.43
heart disease,
how many apples a day?
00:24:13.46\00:24:14.84
Unknown, but it would be a
good idea to go on the best diet
00:24:14.87\00:24:20.74
that you can get
and a good program.
00:24:20.77\00:24:24.00
Now look, I'm a scientist,
nothing to sell, but truth...
00:24:24.01\00:24:30.09
If that left
main coronary artery,
00:24:30.12\00:24:33.22
in a diabetic
70-year-old, is 80% shot,
00:24:33.25\00:24:37.90
you may need the
finest surgery in the world
00:24:37.93\00:24:42.96
to get that taken care of...
00:24:42.99\00:24:44.44
And THEN go on a lifestyle
program to KEEP it open, you see
00:24:44.45\00:24:49.61
So we have nothing whatsoever
to do with narrow-minded
00:24:49.62\00:24:54.77
approaches to the biggest
epidemic in the Western world...
00:24:54.80\00:24:58.61
ATHEROSCLEROSIS!
00:24:58.64\00:24:59.82
If 70% of
40-year-olds had the disease,
00:24:59.85\00:25:02.75
and it's the #1
cause of death in America,
00:25:02.78\00:25:06.04
and starting in other countries
wherever America goes...
00:25:06.07\00:25:08.51
this happens
around the world. Yes...
00:25:08.54\00:25:10.09
What can we do to reverse
it if we already have it?
00:25:10.12\00:25:13.62
PLENTY!
00:25:13.63\00:25:15.12
#1... You can have
biochemical reversal.
00:25:15.13\00:25:19.79
Let's say chemical -
You can turn around the
00:25:19.82\00:25:23.00
chemistry in the
plaque, and one way you do this
00:25:23.03\00:25:25.73
is using a moderate amount of
olives or extra virgin olive oil
00:25:25.76\00:25:31.18
And, you can stop
smoking forever by God's grace,
00:25:31.21\00:25:34.88
and your hardy cooperation.
00:25:34.91\00:25:36.97
And perhaps 3ABN is
world famous and is delivering,
00:25:37.00\00:25:44.92
I saw it 2 hours ago
here, stop smoking programs
00:25:44.95\00:25:51.10
on 3ABN television can
help you stop smoking forever...
00:25:51.13\00:25:55.47
And if you'll
follow that program,
00:25:55.50\00:25:57.01
and stop smoking forever,
this will help you. WHY?
00:25:57.04\00:26:00.74
A person who
has atherosclerosis,
00:26:00.77\00:26:04.04
when they go to climb up stairs,
00:26:04.07\00:26:06.35
the coronary artery
shrinks down, spasm...
00:26:06.38\00:26:10.70
instead of opening up,
and if you stop smoking,
00:26:10.73\00:26:14.04
and go on a good
diet, in a few days,
00:26:14.07\00:26:17.86
your artery will
normalize and it will open UP
00:26:17.89\00:26:22.10
when you're
walking in a cold wind.
00:26:22.13\00:26:24.38
It will open UP
when you get into stress.
00:26:24.41\00:26:27.72
It will open UP after a meal.
00:26:27.75\00:26:31.00
That's physiologic reversal.
00:26:31.03\00:26:33.28
So #1, stop smoking.
#2, the correct diet...
00:26:33.31\00:26:36.30
And what you've said about diet
is the RIGHT kind of fat... YES
00:26:36.31\00:26:40.97
Not necessarily no fat. Right
00:26:41.00\00:26:42.66
Fruits and
grains and vegetables!
00:26:42.69\00:26:46.11
The right kind of fat
would be the kind of fat that
00:26:46.14\00:26:48.16
naturally occurs? Certainly
00:26:48.17\00:26:49.96
But keep below
40%. OH, closer to 20.
00:26:49.99\00:26:56.28
10? Not necessarily 10,
00:26:56.31\00:26:59.42
unless your
doctor so specifies...
00:26:59.45\00:27:02.62
But moderation is
an individual matter.
00:27:02.65\00:27:06.14
For instance, here's a man
who is 70 pounds overweight.
00:27:06.17\00:27:12.11
His fat should be reduced a
lot more than this accountant,
00:27:12.14\00:27:18.05
this CPA who is 30
pounds UNDERWEIGHT and he needs
00:27:18.06\00:27:23.82
a little MORE fat to help him.
00:27:23.85\00:27:27.82
So it's an individual matter.
00:27:27.85\00:27:29.49
We've been talking
with Dr. Bernell Baldwin
00:27:29.52\00:27:32.78
He is a brain scientist,
specialty in neurophysiology.
00:27:32.81\00:27:36.97
We've been talking about heart
disease and there's good news!
00:27:37.00\00:27:39.59
We know who has it.
00:27:39.60\00:27:41.61
We know what to do about it.
00:27:41.64\00:27:43.19
We know that if we
follow these principles,
00:27:43.22\00:27:45.09
we can have biochemical
reversal, physiological reversal
00:27:45.12\00:27:49.70
and then anatomical reversal.
00:27:49.71\00:27:52.06
And so we hope that what
you've learned will give you
00:27:52.09\00:27:54.87
health that
lasts for a lifetime!
00:27:54.90\00:27:58.38
