00:00:15.27\00:00:17.10
Hello and welcome
to Health for Lifetime.
00:00:49.99\00:00:51.93
I'm your host Don Mackintosh
00:00:51.94\00:00:53.34
and I'm glad
you're with us today.
00:00:53.35\00:00:54.82
We're gonna talk
about an exciting topic
00:00:54.83\00:00:56.67
that hopefully can give you
00:00:56.68\00:00:58.57
or someone you know a Newstart,
00:00:58.58\00:01:00.98
and talking with us today
00:01:00.99\00:01:02.40
about that is Dr. Neil Nedley.
00:01:02.41\00:01:04.40
Welcome Dr. Nedley.
00:01:04.41\00:01:05.57
Thank you, good to be here Don.
00:01:05.58\00:01:07.31
Now you wear many hats,
00:01:07.32\00:01:08.67
you know, you're a
physician in Internal Medicine.
00:01:08.68\00:01:11.85
You are a dad,
you are an author,
00:01:11.86\00:01:14.16
authored the
book Proof Positive,
00:01:14.17\00:01:17.04
and that's
gonna serve as a basis
00:01:17.05\00:01:18.81
for some of that we
are talking about today.
00:01:18.82\00:01:22.12
And also you are the President
00:01:22.13\00:01:23.87
of Weimar Health
and Education Center,
00:01:23.88\00:01:27.30
and part of that Weimar
00:01:27.31\00:01:29.51
whole Center out there
in Northern California.
00:01:29.52\00:01:33.05
Of course, they have an academy,
00:01:33.06\00:01:34.37
they have a college,
00:01:34.38\00:01:35.35
but they have what's call
the Newstart program. Right.
00:01:35.36\00:01:39.86
And tell us a little
bit about that program.
00:01:39.87\00:01:43.76
Well, it's a
residential program.
00:01:43.77\00:01:46.01
You can't go there
00:01:46.02\00:01:47.19
and see a
physician just for a consult.
00:01:47.20\00:01:49.29
There are great
physicians there.
00:01:49.30\00:01:51.76
They can find out what
your underlying problem is
00:01:51.77\00:01:54.48
and often treated
through alternative means.
00:01:54.49\00:01:57.63
In other words, not
necessarily just reaching
00:01:57.64\00:01:59.63
for prescription
drugs or surgery right away,
00:01:59.64\00:02:03.07
sometimes there is other means
00:02:03.08\00:02:04.86
that can be as effective.
00:02:04.87\00:02:06.88
And so you could go there
00:02:06.89\00:02:08.43
and make a visit
with physicians there
00:02:08.44\00:02:12.61
or you could also come to
the actual Newstart program
00:02:12.62\00:02:15.52
and the Newstart
program is a 10-day program
00:02:15.53\00:02:19.38
or an 18-day program.
00:02:19.39\00:02:21.14
We prefer the 18-day program
00:02:21.15\00:02:22.71
where you stay there for 18 days
00:02:22.72\00:02:24.58
in the beautiful
Sierra Mountains there.
00:02:24.59\00:02:28.21
Low enough elevations,
so you don't have to worry
00:02:28.22\00:02:30.27
about the elevation
problems of Lake Tahoe area
00:02:30.28\00:02:34.04
but that's where it's close to.
00:02:34.05\00:02:36.96
And you stay there for 18 days
00:02:36.97\00:02:40.13
and you alter your
lifestyle, what you are eating.
00:02:40.14\00:02:43.20
Food becomes
medicine even Hippocrates said
00:02:43.21\00:02:45.98
"let your food
be your medicine."
00:02:45.99\00:02:48.83
He recognized the
advantage of that.
00:02:48.84\00:02:51.02
And then you'll also get
on a proper exercise program
00:02:51.03\00:02:54.08
for you and your condition,
00:02:54.09\00:02:56.13
the use of water,
hydrotherapy treatments,
00:02:56.14\00:02:59.46
and actually drinking proper
amounts of good healthy water
00:02:59.47\00:03:03.92
can be health restoring.
00:03:03.93\00:03:06.26
And then of course
the rest of the acronym,
00:03:06.27\00:03:08.96
the N is for Nutrition,
the E is for Exercise,
00:03:08.97\00:03:12.96
the W is for
Water that's the new.
00:03:12.97\00:03:15.73
And then the start,
the S is for sunlight.
00:03:15.74\00:03:19.47
And there is plenty
of sunlight in that area.
00:03:19.48\00:03:22.51
There is more days of sun
00:03:22.52\00:03:24.52
than a lot of places
in the United States.
00:03:24.53\00:03:30.08
But yet there are green tress
00:03:30.09\00:03:32.67
and abundant
evergreens around there.
00:03:32.68\00:03:36.75
So you have that
fresh air mountains smell
00:03:36.76\00:03:40.31
and that actually
is health restoring.
00:03:40.32\00:03:42.42
So you have the sunlight,
the T is for temperance.
00:03:42.43\00:03:45.42
Temperance is actually utilizing
00:03:45.43\00:03:49.23
your frontal lobe of the brain
00:03:49.24\00:03:51.97
and you'll be able to utilize
00:03:51.98\00:03:53.36
your frontal lobe
better by being at Weimar.
00:03:53.37\00:03:56.40
A temperance is moderation
of the things that are healthy
00:03:56.41\00:03:59.15
and abstinence from
things that are unhealthy
00:03:59.16\00:04:01.24
and you have the tools to be
able to really adapt yourself
00:04:01.25\00:04:06.36
to an
appropriate Lifestyle Program
00:04:06.37\00:04:08.51
that enhances your life.
00:04:08.52\00:04:09.70
I mean it's going to
make you happier, healthier,
00:04:09.71\00:04:12.03
you gonna look better,
00:04:12.04\00:04:14.20
and you will also
experience a great vacation type
00:04:14.21\00:04:18.76
atmosphere in the 18 days there.
00:04:18.77\00:04:22.20
So N-E-W-S-T-A-R...
00:04:22.21\00:04:24.88
The A is the
fresh air, okay, air,
00:04:24.89\00:04:28.58
and you get that
those negative ions
00:04:28.59\00:04:30.46
with the evergreen trees there.
00:04:30.47\00:04:32.04
There is also a
creek almost like a river
00:04:32.05\00:04:35.31
that runs a year around there,
00:04:35.32\00:04:38.75
and there is also,
00:04:38.76\00:04:40.67
and sometimes
there are waterfalls
00:04:40.68\00:04:42.93
there on the property as well.
00:04:42.94\00:04:45.05
The R is for rest
00:04:45.06\00:04:46.79
and you will get
adequate rest at Weimar
00:04:46.80\00:04:50.21
and you'll be able to open
your doors to that fresh air,
00:04:50.22\00:04:53.28
night air that will
also help with proper rest.
00:04:53.29\00:04:58.07
And then the T is
trust and divine power
00:04:58.08\00:05:00.57
and there is a
lot of evidence today
00:05:00.58\00:05:02.73
that spirituality
helps you health of mind
00:05:02.74\00:05:07.40
and also health body.
00:05:07.41\00:05:09.65
And so trusting
in a higher power
00:05:09.66\00:05:13.68
and recognizing that God
has a plan for each individual
00:05:13.69\00:05:18.81
and their life and
as they follow that plan
00:05:18.82\00:05:21.84
their lives are enhanced.
00:05:21.85\00:05:24.74
It's a great
experience coming to Weimar
00:05:24.75\00:05:28.52
and I have yet to meet
an individual who came there
00:05:28.53\00:05:32.04
and who was disappointed in it.
00:05:32.05\00:05:34.60
So you know that program,
00:05:34.61\00:05:36.26
you know, just
to give some history
00:05:36.27\00:05:37.78
that's been while
around for a while.
00:05:37.79\00:05:39.60
I think that Newstart acronym
00:05:39.61\00:05:41.66
was originated by a
patient, if I understand.
00:05:41.67\00:05:44.59
Yes, and it
actually is owned by Weimar.
00:05:44.60\00:05:48.12
So if anyone says
they have Newstart program
00:05:48.13\00:05:51.89
they really should have license
00:05:51.90\00:05:53.94
from Weimar Center
of Healthand Education
00:05:53.95\00:05:55.99
because there are the owner
00:05:56.00\00:05:57.12
of the
registered trademark term,
00:05:57.13\00:05:59.35
Newstart, utilizing
those eight principles.
00:05:59.36\00:06:04.25
But yes, I
believe it was a patient
00:06:04.26\00:06:06.78
that came up with this.
00:06:06.79\00:06:07.76
And Weimar has
been around since 1978,
00:06:07.77\00:06:10.43
so has a long
track record of success.
00:06:10.44\00:06:13.61
I noticed here from the brochure
00:06:15.69\00:06:17.44
that there is a lot of
exciting things that happen
00:06:17.45\00:06:19.42
and we will show
that up on the screen.
00:06:19.43\00:06:22.43
The beautiful setting
there and the autumn leaves
00:06:22.44\00:06:26.98
and what not, it's a
beautiful environment.
00:06:26.99\00:06:29.13
But it's exciting
to see what can happen
00:06:29.14\00:06:31.45
is to Find the New You.
00:06:31.46\00:06:33.57
You know lot of people
come with many different things
00:06:33.58\00:06:36.04
some of the common
killer diseases in America
00:06:36.05\00:06:39.61
or western
diseases, we call them.
00:06:39.62\00:06:41.60
Some are, you
know, like heart diseases
00:06:41.61\00:06:43.31
and we will talk about that,
00:06:43.32\00:06:44.52
but it also makes the claim
00:06:44.53\00:06:46.11
that it is talking
about reliving arthritis.
00:06:46.12\00:06:48.44
How is the Newstart
program help arthritis?
00:06:48.45\00:06:51.31
Well the studies were
done years ago in Scandinavia,
00:06:51.32\00:06:54.92
actually showing that
just a diet change in itself
00:06:54.93\00:06:58.90
can significantly help
00:06:58.91\00:07:00.36
what we call
Inflammatory Arthritis,
00:07:00.37\00:07:02.29
this would be like
lupus, rheumatoid arthritis.
00:07:02.30\00:07:05.89
And some people
rheumatoid arthritis
00:07:05.90\00:07:07.65
is so bad they have to be
on prednisone or steroids,
00:07:07.66\00:07:10.58
on other disease
altering medicines
00:07:10.59\00:07:12.97
that can have side
effects on the liver.
00:07:12.98\00:07:15.21
Just by getting on a
plan based died that's healthy
00:07:15.22\00:07:18.23
and high amounts of omega-3,
00:07:18.24\00:07:21.41
they can get off their steroids.
00:07:21.42\00:07:23.40
A vast majority of cases,
00:07:23.41\00:07:25.19
the arthritis can
actually go into remission.
00:07:25.20\00:07:27.42
And we've seen that
happen at Weimar in many cases.
00:07:27.43\00:07:30.51
In addition to that
there are certain foods
00:07:30.52\00:07:34.47
that can actually set off
non-inflammatory arthritis
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.99
that's the wear -and-tear
00:07:38.00\00:07:39.49
arthritis, the osteoarthritis.
00:07:39.50\00:07:41.29
And we've had osteoarthritis
improve not only with diet,
00:07:41.30\00:07:44.11
but also hydrotherapy.
00:07:44.12\00:07:46.29
We utilize
hydrotherapy in proper amounts.
00:07:46.30\00:07:51.27
They off in the
contrast, baths will help
00:07:51.28\00:07:53.56
or you have the heat
alternating with the cool.
00:07:53.57\00:07:57.30
And as you go through
the hydrotherapy experience
00:07:57.31\00:07:59.91
and combine that with exercise.
00:07:59.92\00:08:02.48
Actually arthritis does
better with proper exercise.
00:08:02.49\00:08:05.80
It's more of
instead of pounding,
00:08:05.81\00:08:08.08
we would
recommend a running program
00:08:08.09\00:08:09.86
for instance osteoarthritis
of the knees. Right.
00:08:09.87\00:08:12.79
But it's more the
bicycling type of activity
00:08:12.80\00:08:15.93
that can significantly
actually help the muscles
00:08:15.94\00:08:19.52
and actually
improve the joint space,
00:08:19.53\00:08:21.90
and so arthritis
in and of itself.
00:08:21.91\00:08:23.93
A lot times people are referred
00:08:23.94\00:08:25.14
for hip replacements.
00:08:25.15\00:08:26.19
They will come to
Weimar and they will find out
00:08:26.20\00:08:28.07
they don't need hip replacement
00:08:28.08\00:08:29.30
at least yet or
knee replacement.
00:08:29.31\00:08:32.60
They actually needs some
change in their lifestyle.
00:08:32.61\00:08:35.55
You know, they
have wonder facilities.
00:08:35.56\00:08:37.20
They have been able to
tour those in number of cases
00:08:37.21\00:08:39.37
that hydrotherapy
section for the ladies
00:08:39.38\00:08:42.54
and then for the man
00:08:42.55\00:08:43.63
and then have
these massage therapies,
00:08:43.64\00:08:45.35
which are excellent I mean,
00:08:45.36\00:08:47.06
you know, after you have
done massage there you go,
00:08:47.07\00:08:49.78
I think I might
stay here forever.
00:08:49.79\00:08:53.17
That's a beautiful situation.
00:08:53.18\00:08:55.92
Diabetes, you know,
it says on the brochure
00:08:55.93\00:08:58.52
that it can be stopped
and can be reversed even.
00:08:58.53\00:09:02.27
Yes the evidence
for that is clear,
00:09:02.28\00:09:04.20
but Weimar was one of
the first institutions
00:09:04.21\00:09:06.62
to actually demonstrate
that diabetes can be reversed.
00:09:06.63\00:09:10.16
In fact they've held a
reversing diabetes program
00:09:10.17\00:09:13.79
since the 1980s
00:09:13.80\00:09:16.35
and now the evidence for
that in the medical literature
00:09:16.36\00:09:19.09
so conclusive
it's really irrefutable
00:09:19.10\00:09:23.32
that just by hanging the
diet and now this is different
00:09:23.33\00:09:25.66
in the American
Diabetes Association Diet.
00:09:25.67\00:09:29.05
The American
Diabetes Association Diet,
00:09:29.06\00:09:30.63
now you gonna be
having the count carbs,
00:09:30.64\00:09:32.26
you gonna have to be
limiting a cholesterol,
00:09:32.27\00:09:34.75
you gonna have to be,
you know, get very educated
00:09:34.76\00:09:37.67
almost become a
semi-nutritionist
00:09:37.68\00:09:40.37
to be able to not
only get on the program
00:09:40.38\00:09:43.46
but to stay with it.
00:09:43.47\00:09:45.31
And that program
is not as successful
00:09:45.32\00:09:47.68
as the Weimar Diet.
00:09:47.69\00:09:49.45
Studies on the Weimar Diet
show it to be significantly
00:09:49.46\00:09:53.15
more successful in
controlling diabetes.
00:09:53.16\00:09:55.77
And in addition
it's easier to stand.
00:09:55.78\00:09:59.13
People actually comply
better with the Weimar diet
00:09:59.14\00:10:02.93
due to improved taste
00:10:02.94\00:10:04.68
and it's easy of use in
home environment than they do
00:10:04.69\00:10:07.83
on the American
Diabetes Association Diet.
00:10:07.84\00:10:10.79
And these things
are researched-based.
00:10:10.80\00:10:12.55
I mean they
started to look at this,
00:10:12.56\00:10:14.01
they looked closer
and first they said
00:10:14.02\00:10:15.54
oh that's these
lifestyle centers
00:10:15.55\00:10:17.90
may be they do not
know what they are doing
00:10:17.91\00:10:19.02
but now they are
taking real notice.
00:10:19.03\00:10:20.74
Yes, and the
cholesterol level has come down.
00:10:20.75\00:10:22.94
Not only has the
diabetes get control
00:10:22.95\00:10:24.86
but the
cholesterol and triglycerides
00:10:24.87\00:10:26.61
that are major problems
for most diabetics come down
00:10:26.62\00:10:29.36
and the blood
pressure comes down.
00:10:29.37\00:10:31.37
Weimar has done study
00:10:31.38\00:10:32.57
showing that the blood pressure
00:10:32.58\00:10:33.83
will come down significantly
during the 18-day program,
00:10:33.84\00:10:37.47
18 sometimes more
points and with that drop
00:10:37.48\00:10:41.77
often medicines
are being withdrawn.
00:10:41.78\00:10:43.35
They don't even need
00:10:43.36\00:10:44.45
the high blood
pressure medicines in that one.
00:10:44.46\00:10:46.11
You know, someone might
say, well I can do that at home.
00:10:46.12\00:10:48.55
That maybe true, but in this
residential treatment center,
00:10:48.56\00:10:51.90
what's the benefit
for coming there versus
00:10:51.91\00:10:53.95
trying to do some of
these things at home?
00:10:53.96\00:10:56.06
Well the advantage is that
you get all of the expertise,
00:10:56.07\00:11:00.10
being able to be
practiced one time
00:11:00.11\00:11:02.44
and so that makes it
easier for you to stay on it
00:11:02.45\00:11:06.42
and to be motivated.
00:11:06.43\00:11:09.82
By the end of the 18 days
you gonna feel so much better
00:11:09.83\00:11:12.78
seriously that you
gonna be well motivated
00:11:12.79\00:11:15.37
to stay on this program,
00:11:15.38\00:11:17.31
where if you
just try to do at home
00:11:17.32\00:11:18.89
it's a little difficult
to be able to implement
00:11:18.90\00:11:21.28
all of this at home.
00:11:21.29\00:11:22.51
It can be done
in certain settings
00:11:22.52\00:11:24.13
but you will need
to have a physician
00:11:24.14\00:11:26.41
that really knows how to do this
00:11:26.42\00:11:28.31
as giving you the
proper instruction
00:11:28.32\00:11:29.80
knows how to
follow-up the blood sugars
00:11:29.81\00:11:31.61
and the cholesterol levels
00:11:31.62\00:11:34.08
and knows how to
reduce medicines.
00:11:34.09\00:11:37.20
And you may find a physician
in your area that can do that
00:11:37.21\00:11:40.23
and can help you
out in their program.
00:11:40.24\00:11:43.13
But overall the
expense is worth it.
00:11:43.14\00:11:48.78
I mean the price is right.
00:11:48.79\00:11:51.25
It's not something
that can't be afforded
00:11:51.26\00:11:53.55
by the average American.
00:11:53.56\00:11:54.83
In fact the cost about
is much as what an average
00:11:54.84\00:11:57.03
American will pay
00:11:57.04\00:11:58.09
for the same
amount time in vacation.
00:11:58.10\00:12:01.64
And so if you are
going to take vacation
00:12:01.65\00:12:03.38
why not come to Weimar
and improve your health
00:12:03.39\00:12:05.69
and get a nice
vacation at the same time.
00:12:05.70\00:12:08.08
Yeah, the other good
news about it as you said
00:12:08.09\00:12:10.22
I think that it's a
10 or 18-day program.
00:12:10.23\00:12:13.28
So it's always
only 18 days away.
00:12:13.29\00:12:15.74
So if you are just
newly diagnosis with diabetic
00:12:15.75\00:12:18.16
or if you have some of these
problems that are developing,
00:12:18.17\00:12:21.68
it's always 18
days or less away. Yeah.
00:12:21.69\00:12:25.71
And you can get out there
00:12:25.72\00:12:28.23
and it's a delightful situation.
00:12:28.24\00:12:30.11
We gonna put up a graphic
00:12:30.12\00:12:31.44
that shows a map
on how to get there.
00:12:31.45\00:12:33.41
People may want to know
where it is in California
00:12:33.42\00:12:35.71
and they want to know,
00:12:35.72\00:12:37.10
you know, really
about how to get there.
00:12:37.11\00:12:39.13
And you can see that
you've got Sacramento,
00:12:39.14\00:12:40.89
the capital there and it's about
00:12:40.90\00:12:42.12
30 minute drive from
Sacramento up the hill.
00:12:42.13\00:12:45.80
That's I-80 east and
you can see it's not too far
00:12:45.81\00:12:48.25
away from San Francisco there.
00:12:48.26\00:12:49.63
San Francisco is on the Coast
00:12:49.64\00:12:51.85
and then I-80 also
goes through Sacramento,
00:12:51.86\00:12:54.92
the capital and then
30 minutes east of there
00:12:54.93\00:12:57.82
in foothills of the
Sierra as you will find
00:12:57.83\00:13:00.69
Weimar just right
of the interstate.
00:13:00.70\00:13:03.02
In fact, as soon as
you get of the interstate
00:13:03.03\00:13:06.19
you will see the
sign for Weimar Institute.
00:13:06.20\00:13:08.12

00:13:08.13\00:13:10.50
