Tell us a little bit more? 00:06:45.44\00:06:48.05 I started out in Southern California 00:06:48.08\00:06:49.80 working as a nurse. 00:06:49.83\00:06:51.13 I've always had a love for cardiology, 00:06:51.16\00:06:52.84 I've started out on heart floor, from the heart floor, 00:06:52.87\00:06:55.77 I went into the intensive care unit, 00:06:55.80\00:06:57.31 from intensive car unit, I also did open heart surgery 00:06:57.34\00:06:59.47 for several years, and then ended up back 00:06:59.50\00:07:02.86 in Southern California and spent 00:07:02.89\00:07:05.67 a number of years in San Diego, 00:07:05.70\00:07:07.18 the Trauma Center and which was tremendous 00:07:07.21\00:07:10.81 when it comes to learning, and just learning 00:07:10.84\00:07:12.27 all about the - Now, let me-I'm gonna stop you. 00:07:12.30\00:07:13.91 Sure. What, some of our listeners 00:07:13.94\00:07:15.77 don't know, what a trauma-most of them know 00:07:15.80\00:07:17.26 what is a heart, what is a trauma center, 00:07:17.29\00:07:18.76 what kind of stuff would you see? 00:07:18.79\00:07:21.20 A lot. There's five trauma centers 00:07:21.23\00:07:23.37 in San Diego, so we were one of those 00:07:23.40\00:07:25.51 and you're going to get some pretty horrific accidents. 00:07:25.54\00:07:28.45 So accidents, okay? 00:07:28.48\00:07:29.54 Accidents, anything from gang violence 00:07:29.57\00:07:32.20 that turns very, very violent 00:07:32.23\00:07:33.88 to innocent victim violence to children to motorcycles 00:07:33.91\00:07:37.94 to anything you could possibly think of. 00:07:37.97\00:07:40.05 But it serves a great purpose. 00:07:40.08\00:07:41.97 So you saw a lot of blood, aha? 00:07:42.00\00:07:43.94 Yeah, yeah we do, 00:07:43.97\00:07:45.13 but we also saved a lot of lives. 00:07:45.16\00:07:46.65 So that's the key, that's the key, right there. 00:07:46.68\00:07:50.08 You have a lot of opportunities. 00:07:50.11\00:07:51.14 You know that's a great place for modern medicine, 00:07:51.17\00:07:53.23 you know an acute emergency. 00:07:53.26\00:07:55.69 I think that's the best place for modern medicine 00:07:55.72\00:07:58.16 to step in and some of the greatest technologies 00:07:58.19\00:08:00.38 when something terrible like that and then 00:08:00.41\00:08:02.06 you sort of can help out with the problem. 00:08:02.09\00:08:03.78 And it is a lot of sad stories, 00:08:03.81\00:08:05.56 but there's a lot of good stories. 00:08:05.59\00:08:06.70 And it's a very well trained team, 00:08:06.73\00:08:09.43 you could step in and you could save lives, 00:08:09.46\00:08:11.54 and that's the key. 00:08:11.57\00:08:12.69 It's the key. You did that for a while. 00:08:12.72\00:08:13.88 I did that for a while and I went back 00:08:13.91\00:08:15.27 to my love of cardiology and then kind of got into 00:08:15.30\00:08:17.78 little administration, little teaching at a university 00:08:17.81\00:08:21.03 with nurse practitioner students. 00:08:21.06\00:08:22.83 Okay. Worked as a nurse practitioner 00:08:22.86\00:08:25.13 and so as also preceptor for nurse practitioner as well. 00:08:25.16\00:08:28.58 But thoroughly enjoyed working with the patients 00:08:28.61\00:08:32.99 and helping them to know more about how to prevent 00:08:33.02\00:08:36.23 when you're in cardiology. Yes. 00:08:36.26\00:08:37.68 You're looking how to prevent these events. 00:08:37.71\00:08:39.81 Generally speaking by the time they came to us, 00:08:39.84\00:08:42.40 they already had an event, so our job was really to work 00:08:42.43\00:08:45.68 with them on those things comorbidities those things 00:08:45.71\00:08:48.75 that brought together, will make 00:08:48.78\00:08:50.65 somebody morbid and death. 00:08:50.68\00:08:52.72 Okay. So our goal is really 00:08:52.75\00:08:54.22 to prevent them from having over your currents. 00:08:54.25\00:08:57.52 Working with their life, working with just gently 00:08:57.55\00:09:00.14 changing the things that you can change. 00:09:00.17\00:09:01.91 I like that word, I like that word gently. 00:09:01.94\00:09:04.50 Yes, very important. Very, very important. 00:09:04.53\00:09:06.97 I've learned that, you know, sometimes we are out 00:09:07.00\00:09:08.94 there and there is so much in a lifestyle 00:09:08.97\00:09:11.15 that you know, you don't know 00:09:11.18\00:09:12.21 where to start and I don't know, 00:09:12.24\00:09:14.22 you know, everyone has a different approach. 00:09:14.25\00:09:16.16 But I sort of like to start is, I say, listen, 00:09:16.19\00:09:18.31 let's ask God to help us and join us in this journey. 00:09:18.34\00:09:21.82 Pick one thing. Great, that's exactly right. 00:09:21.85\00:09:25.06 That was sort of your strategy there. 00:09:25.09\00:09:26.92 You do it. You do need to do that. 00:09:26.95\00:09:28.08 It's overwhelming. 00:09:28.11\00:09:29.32 They've already had other problems, 00:09:29.35\00:09:31.38 so if you take baby steps, then you can get to a goal 00:09:31.41\00:09:36.99 and look back and see how far you've really come 00:09:37.02\00:09:38.95 Let me stop you there. 00:09:38.98\00:09:40.16 Okay. Let me stop you there. 00:09:40.19\00:09:41.43 What, If I came to you I said, ah, 00:09:41.46\00:09:43.94 I've had a bypass surgery or whatever. 00:09:43.97\00:09:47.32 What would be your baby step, you would start with me? 00:09:47.35\00:09:49.87 A baby step I would start with you, 00:09:49.90\00:09:52.36 it would be just to say, 00:09:52.39\00:09:53.68 how do you think you got here. Okay. 00:09:53.71\00:09:55.80 Because they need to identify that. 00:09:55.83\00:09:57.76 It's really important because 00:09:57.79\00:09:58.98 if they don't see it as a problem, 00:09:59.01\00:10:01.36 they're not going to join your team 00:10:01.39\00:10:02.81 and then try and fix the problem or try and educate themselves 00:10:02.84\00:10:07.74 to just slowly turn things around. 00:10:07.77\00:10:10.09 So we would look at their diet. 00:10:10.12\00:10:11.63 How are they eating? 00:10:11.66\00:10:13.22 How is that affecting the event that they could've had? 00:10:13.25\00:10:16.50 We'd look at the exercise, 00:10:16.53\00:10:18.18 are they participating in exercise? 00:10:18.21\00:10:20.71 Can we motivate them to participate in exercise? 00:10:20.74\00:10:24.76 And we just look at the stress in their life. 00:10:24.79\00:10:27.14 How are they handling the life situation 00:10:27.17\00:10:30.85 that they are found in. 00:10:30.88\00:10:31.91 And stress as we both know, 00:10:31.94\00:10:33.40 is a huge, huge player in this? 00:10:33.43\00:10:35.37 So we would just have a conversation 00:10:35.40\00:10:37.12 and then have them tell us what they want to fix first. 00:10:37.15\00:10:41.26 For some people, I know I have to quit smoking, 00:10:41.29\00:10:43.59 I know, so we're going to start there. 00:10:43.62\00:10:45.13 For some people, I know, my diet is terrible, 00:10:45.16\00:10:47.54 so we're going to start there. 00:10:47.57\00:10:48.60 So you want to bring them in. 00:10:48.63\00:10:50.33 Now you have those people that want to suddenly 00:10:50.36\00:10:52.16 start changing everything all at once. 00:10:52.19\00:10:54.06 And you almost have to reel them in and say, 00:10:54.09\00:10:56.94 let's just focus on one thing and go from there, 00:10:56.97\00:10:59.50 and go from there. 00:10:59.53\00:11:00.61 Have you ever found out, in working with people that, 00:11:00.64\00:11:04.29 they think some times modern medicine fixes the problem? 00:11:04.33\00:11:07.28 Oh, boy, yes. Absolutely. 00:11:07.31\00:11:09.71 They also think one more pill will fix the problem. 00:11:09.74\00:11:14.05 And you know, you may have a patient that comes in, 00:11:14.08\00:11:16.15 that already has things they need to work on 00:11:16.18\00:11:18.50 and now they are more short of breath, 00:11:18.53\00:11:21.64 usually it's lifestyle related. 00:11:21.67\00:11:23.69 But they want one more pill. 00:11:23.72\00:11:25.09 Just give me a pill, so that-- 00:11:25.12\00:11:27.90 Yes, they want you to fix it. 00:11:27.93\00:11:29.79 And they wanted to fix just today, 00:11:29.82\00:11:31.46 and it's a challenge but it is also an opportunity, 00:11:31.49\00:11:35.39 it's not particularly. 00:11:35.42\00:11:36.70 We're going to continue to tell your story- 00:11:36.73\00:11:38.79 Absolutely. But we have 00:11:38.82\00:11:39.85 a question that's come in. 00:11:39.88\00:11:40.91 We want to answer all of our questions 00:11:40.94\00:11:42.33 and in between two of us we're going 00:11:42.36\00:11:43.72 to answer your question. 00:11:43.75\00:11:44.94 Margaret you're on with Michelle. 00:11:44.97\00:11:47.08 Go ahead Margaret. 00:11:47.11\00:11:50.19 Hi, I am I've been a diabetic for about 15 or 20 years 00:11:50.22\00:11:54.49 and was taken to Nashville State before where my husband 00:11:54.52\00:11:57.39 was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, 00:11:57.42\00:11:59.91 and my stress level was very high and my blood sugar 00:11:59.94\00:12:03.71 was running about 200, so doctors put me on Metformin. 00:12:03.74\00:12:06.98 And my question is, if I hurt make 00:12:07.01\00:12:11.64 it safe like we use. 00:12:11.67\00:12:12.86 Metformin is safe or there is something safer 00:12:12.89\00:12:15.88 and could Metformin cause nausea and vomiting? 00:12:15.91\00:12:19.29 Say the last part again, Margaret? 00:12:19.32\00:12:20.95 I didn't quite hear the last part, 00:12:20.98\00:12:22.24 could it cause what? 00:12:22.27\00:12:24.44 Could it cause nausea or vomiting? 00:12:24.47\00:12:29.30 Yes, it can. Actually any medication 00:12:29.33\00:12:32.08 that you take can cause nausea and vomiting, 00:12:32.11\00:12:34.31 not just Metformin. 00:12:34.34\00:12:35.58 A lot of times when you take a new medication, 00:12:35.61\00:12:37.96 it can cause that. 00:12:37.99\00:12:39.53 You can get over that the longer that you're on. 00:12:39.56\00:12:42.37 Now is metformin safe? 00:12:42.40\00:12:43.92 Metformin is one of the first things prescribed 00:12:43.95\00:12:46.23 and that's been proven safe across 00:12:46.26\00:12:48.53 the board and it sounds to me from what you're saying 00:12:48.56\00:12:51.92 is that this has been brought on by the difficulty, 00:12:51.95\00:12:54.68 just what you're having in life there 00:12:54.71\00:12:56.43 and stress can really do that. 00:12:56.46\00:12:57.70 You identified that the first part 00:12:57.73\00:12:59.10 of your conversation there. 00:12:59.13\00:13:00.83 So hopefully you can take the Metformin 00:13:00.86\00:13:02.97 on to your doctor's advice and then as, 00:13:03.00\00:13:05.45 hopefully that stress comes down you may find, 00:13:05.48\00:13:08.16 you don't need it again. 00:13:08.19\00:13:09.25 And that just diet and exercise can help you out. 00:13:09.28\00:13:13.49 Okay. And Margaret, did you realize, 00:13:13.52\00:13:15.95 I am going to throw this at Margaret, 00:13:15.98\00:13:17.47 did you realize that if you are a type-2 diabetic, 00:13:17.50\00:13:20.63 the good news is, 90% of type-2 diabetes can be cured. 00:13:20.66\00:13:24.92 Absolutely, yes it can. 00:13:24.95\00:13:26.40 And one hour of exercise is worth 5 units of insulin. 00:13:26.43\00:13:31.03 So those are, this kind of what we are talking about Margaret 00:13:31.06\00:13:33.53 in the sense that as things in your life 00:13:33.56\00:13:35.99 get settled a little bit, as you're doing 00:13:36.02\00:13:37.99 what Dr. Marcum said about exercising. 00:13:38.02\00:13:40.14 You may find that you may not need that medication, 00:13:40.17\00:13:41.99 but for now if your doctor feels that you need it now, 00:13:42.02\00:13:44.66 absolutely, I would take it. 00:13:44.69\00:13:47.00 Okay, thank you so much. 00:13:47.03\00:13:48.26 Thank you for calling. 00:13:48.29\00:13:49.95 You know that's a very good point. 00:13:49.98\00:13:51.79 You know, medicines I think 00:13:51.82\00:13:53.26 help us over crisis. Yes. 00:13:53.29\00:13:55.30 To see if we can do the things chemically we can do. 00:13:55.33\00:13:58.72 You know, that the form will change 00:13:58.75\00:14:00.72 into one chemical path way, but when you exercise all 00:14:00.75\00:14:03.91 the chemistry gets better. Absolutely. 00:14:03.94\00:14:05.73 Now when you have rest and sleep better, 00:14:05.76\00:14:07.85 all the chemistry gets better. 00:14:07.88\00:14:09.22 You know like I say, I have some doctor friends, 00:14:09.25\00:14:12.50 that I work with them, if they really, 00:14:12.53\00:14:14.75 patients work hard, it's possible for may be 00:14:14.78\00:14:16.90 to be off medicines, and I think 00:14:16.93\00:14:17.96 that should be our goal, is to change things natural, 00:14:17.99\00:14:21.46 do you agree with that? 00:14:21.49\00:14:22.52 Absolutely, and I would tell patients who've had an event, 00:14:22.55\00:14:25.13 they come in and they don't want to take say, 00:14:25.16\00:14:26.39 cholesterol medication. 00:14:26.42\00:14:28.11 And we might say to them that, 00:14:28.14\00:14:30.28 you know, right now you need it, 00:14:30.31\00:14:32.74 but as we change your life, we're more than 00:14:32.77\00:14:35.05 happy to decrease that. 00:14:35.08\00:14:36.80 Well, we want you to give us a call. 00:14:36.83\00:14:38.51 We want to answer your questions 855-644-3278. 00:14:38.54\00:14:43.36 Go get a glass of water and join us right after this break. 00:14:43.39\00:14:46.71 The Heart of Health Live will return in just a moment. 00:14:52.40\00:14:55.18 Heartwise Ministries.

It is. I am working on a doctorate in nursing practice. 00:19:04.79\00:19:08.78 Okay. And it is a big degree, 00:19:08.81\00:19:12.55 takes a lot of time but it, one of the things 00:19:12.58\00:19:15.95 that I have passion for is women and heart disease clearly, 00:19:15.98\00:19:19.59 but also our healthcare at large, 00:19:19.62\00:19:22.88 advocacy, what's happening at the political ground as well, 00:19:22.91\00:19:26.53 healthcare policy and how are we going 00:19:26.56\00:19:28.72 to take care of people. 00:19:28.75\00:19:30.00 That's good.

Last year my wife 00:20:10.73\00:20:14.31 was weighing 117 pounds 00:20:14.34\00:20:19.03 and that's been about six months ago 00:20:19.06\00:20:22.31 and now she weighs about 85. 00:20:22.34\00:20:25.26 The doctors here say, she has dementia, Alzheimer's. 00:20:25.29\00:20:32.26 But why is she losing so much weight 00:20:32.29\00:20:34.94 is my concern and she is eating. 00:20:34.97\00:20:37.84 Louis, what have they told you when you've gone to see 00:20:40.71\00:20:44.06 the doctor, what have they said 00:20:44.09\00:20:46.43 that might be the reason for that? 00:20:46.46\00:20:50.68 They don't have an answer for her losing the weight. 00:20:50.71\00:20:55.60 Does she live at home with you 00:20:55.63\00:20:57.15 or is she is living somewhere else? 00:20:57.18\00:20:59.78 No, I am taking care of her at home. 00:20:59.81\00:21:04.30 Does her apetitite seem to be the same 00:21:04.33\00:21:06.21 to you as it was a year ago? 00:21:06.24\00:21:11.36 It's a little bit less, but she's still eating. 00:21:11.39\00:21:16.26 That's good. And I give 00:21:16.29\00:21:17.45 her the best food that money can buy. 00:21:17.48\00:21:19.92 Absolutely, and you know what, 00:21:19.95\00:21:21.43 it sounds like you're doing a very good job. 00:21:21.46\00:21:23.45 One of the things that I would recommend to you, 00:21:23.48\00:21:26.07 is to work with your doctor 00:21:26.10\00:21:28.42 and possibly get a nutritionist involved. 00:21:28.45\00:21:31.52 So if she still has her appetite and it sounds like 00:21:31.55\00:21:35.38 she is still eating, then may be there are some ways 00:21:35.41\00:21:38.86 that you can give her a few different foods 00:21:38.89\00:21:41.13 that may have more calories to them. 00:21:41.16\00:21:43.86 I'd also see if she's exercising and she's get able to get up 00:21:43.89\00:21:47.31 and walk around, because that also will increase 00:21:47.34\00:21:49.44 her apetitite, so she is able to get up 00:21:49.47\00:21:51.19 and around the house. 00:21:51.22\00:21:53.42 No, ma'am she can't walk now. 00:21:53.45\00:21:55.98 So that does make it difficult and may be they can help you 00:21:56.01\00:21:58.61 with some therapy where she can use her arms 00:21:58.64\00:22:01.45 and do some other types of things to keep her active. 00:22:01.48\00:22:04.48 But truly I think your best way to go here would be to work 00:22:04.51\00:22:08.74 with your doctors and see if a nutritionist can come 00:22:08.77\00:22:11.96 in and help you have meals that may meet 00:22:11.99\00:22:15.09 her needs a little bit better. 00:22:15.12\00:22:17.99 Dr. Marcum, your thoughts. 00:22:18.02\00:22:20.02 Louis, a couple of things, thinking about is, 00:22:20.05\00:22:22.66 I am sure your doctors have checked blood and make sure 00:22:22.69\00:22:25.27 there's not a metabolic problem, 00:22:25.30\00:22:27.45 like the thyroid being slower, any other diseases. 00:22:27.48\00:22:30.75 But a couple of things, and I have the privilege 00:22:30.78\00:22:33.93 of working with people all the time 00:22:33.96\00:22:35.66 that they've lost weight when they were demented. 00:22:35.69\00:22:37.80 I think that Michelle's suggestion is right. 00:22:37.83\00:22:40.04 There's some of these energy drinks, 00:22:40.07\00:22:41.77 that you just swallow it and it's loaded with calories, 00:22:41.80\00:22:44.55 and it can help you a lot. 00:22:44.58\00:22:46.29 She might need something like this, 00:22:46.32\00:22:48.33 but one of the things that I want to leave with you today, 00:22:48.36\00:22:50.69 as you know, lots of things disease 00:22:50.72\00:22:53.39 happens you know, unfortunately it's the world 00:22:53.42\00:22:55.45 that's not perfect and God is going to heal her someday, 00:22:55.48\00:22:59.17 if you stay in that relationship with Him. 00:22:59.20\00:23:01.17 And I know it's hard on the daily basis, 00:23:01.20\00:23:03.30 but I just want you to know that we're going 00:23:03.33\00:23:05.10 to be praying for you, Louis that you - 00:23:05.14\00:23:07.51 and it sounds like you're taking wonderful care of her. 00:23:07.54\00:23:10.75 We just want to uplift you and her because I know 00:23:10.78\00:23:13.45 this is not an easy thing to be going through 00:23:13.48\00:23:15.86 when you are caring for a loved one 00:23:15.89\00:23:17.17 that their brain is not thinking right. 00:23:17.20\00:23:19.62 But I just want to thank you for caring enough 00:23:19.65\00:23:21.87 to take care of her. 00:23:21.90\00:23:23.19 You know, a lot of people I can tell you, 00:23:23.22\00:23:25.52 that you really love her and wanted her to do well 00:23:25.55\00:23:27.89 and sometimes this disease, no matter how much, 00:23:27.92\00:23:30.68 how perfect things are, and sometimes things get worse, 00:23:30.71\00:23:35.24 and sometimes you lose weight, 00:23:35.27\00:23:36.42 but no matter, as long as you have your faith 00:23:36.45\00:23:38.63 in that relationship, you know, in the end things 00:23:38.66\00:23:41.10 are going to be turned out okay. 00:23:41.13\00:23:42.65 Absolutely.

It's very difficult. 00:24:55.99\00:24:57.85 There's many people out there Michelle 00:24:57.88\00:24:59.50 that had diseases that you know that are getting worse. 00:24:59.53\00:25:03.67 And they knew, if we can't fix everything 00:25:03.70\00:25:06.17 on earth, we know that there is a God 00:25:06.20\00:25:07.65 in heaven that, and that relationship 00:25:07.68\00:25:09.60 is going to provide healing with us, 00:25:09.63\00:25:10.98 even though we don't sometimes understand that. 00:25:11.01\00:25:13.69 That's true.

And as a caregiver, 00:25:56.33\00:25:58.66 you know, the problem is, more and more people 00:25:58.69\00:26:01.24 are getting dementia of all types 00:26:01.27\00:26:03.53 and it's sort of catastrophic illness so. 00:26:03.56\00:26:06.12 We want to talk to people about preventing that from happening. 00:26:06.15\00:26:08.79 And there's some things we can do when we are younger, 00:26:08.82\00:26:10.71 like you talked about earlier, this, you know, 00:26:10.74\00:26:12.59 this management that we can do to prevent that. 00:26:12.62\00:26:15.59 It's about time for us to go to break. 00:26:15.62\00:26:17.44 You are watching Heart of Health Live. 00:26:17.47\00:26:18.93 You can join us on our website heartwiseministries.org. 00:26:18.96\00:26:22.14 Be one of our facebook friends if you would like. 00:26:22.17\00:26:24.69 I mean you still have plenty of time 00:26:24.72\00:26:26.33 to give us a call, 855-644-3278. 00:26:26.36\00:26:30.28 We're going to answer your questions 00:26:30.31\00:26:32.01 and more important than that, we're going to be praying 00:26:32.04\00:26:33.96 for you that God will enter a healing relationship with you. 00:26:33.99\00:26:36.94 Michelle and I are going to be right back, so stay with us. 00:26:36.97\00:26:40.31 Give us a call, 855-644-3278. 00:26:40.34\00:26:44.98 The Heart of Health Live will return in just a moment. 00:26:52.22\00:26:55.07 You have reached that point in life 00:27:00.49\00:27:02.32 where important decisions are being made. 00:27:02.35\00:27:04.69 A charitable gift annuity through 3ABN gives you a way 00:27:04.72\00:27:08.40 to financially provide for you, 00:27:08.43\00:27:10.58 your spouse and the ministry of 3ABN. 00:27:10.61\00:27:13.66 Many do not realize that they can fund 00:27:13.69\00:27:15.47 a charitable gift annuity, with as little as $5,000 00:27:15.50\00:27:18.77 for single annuity and $10,000 00:27:18.80\00:27:21.28 for joint annuity for a husband and a wife. 00:27:21.31\00:27:24.82 Remember a charitable gift annuity 00:27:24.85\00:27:27.18 may further reduce your tax liability 00:27:27.21\00:27:30.36 and it's a fixed interest rate for life, 00:27:30.39\00:27:33.02 based on your age. 00:27:33.05\00:27:34.72 I'm 94 years old and I earn over 9% on my investment. 00:27:34.75\00:27:40.97 For more information contact 00:27:41.00\00:27:43.29 3ABN Planned Giving and Trust Services. 00:27:43.32\00:27:46.52 By calling 800-886-4800 00:27:46.55\00:27:52.41 or go to our website, 3abn.org. 00:27:52.44\00:27:55.93 And click on the Planned Giving and Trust Services tab. 00:27:55.96\00:27:59.18 The ultimate prescription by cardiologist Dr. James Marcum 00:28:01.80\00:28:04.55 is taking the nation by storm. 00:28:04.58\00:28:06.35 People everywhere are learning 00:28:06.38\00:28:07.80 what living a healthy life is all about. 00:28:07.83\00:28:10.00 If you are happy living a drug filled, 00:28:10.03\00:28:12.31 pain filled mundane existence, 00:28:12.34\00:28:13.97 this book is definitely not for you. 00:28:14.00\00:28:16.08 In this book Dr. Marcum dives into modern medicines strengths 00:28:16.11\00:28:19.52 and weakness and explains how lifestyle choices 00:28:19.55\00:28:22.48 can significantly impact your health. 00:28:22.51\00:28:24.38 To get your copy visit Barnes and Noble 00:28:24.41\00:28:26.99 or shop online at Amazon.com. 00:28:27.02\00:28:29.16 I like to think that one day when we get to heaven, 00:28:34.08\00:28:36.85 we are going to see a list of people, 00:28:36.88\00:28:39.10 people like Jared and Susan who were introduced to Jesus 00:28:39.13\00:28:43.95 because of something we said or may be it was simple 00:28:43.98\00:28:47.38 as a passing smile, but these people will look 00:28:47.41\00:28:50.55 into their past and be able to say, 00:28:50.58\00:28:52.50 I'm here because of you. 00:28:52.53\00:28:55.32 Recently you may have heard that Heartwise Ministries 00:28:55.35\00:28:57.55 has began spreading the gospel to the young, 00:28:57.58\00:28:59.67 the old, the sick and the healthy 00:28:59.70\00:29:02.71 using this very television program. 00:29:02.74\00:29:04.77 But we need your help. 00:29:04.80\00:29:07.18 We want to take this type of medical programming 00:29:07.21\00:29:09.48 to the non-believer and the person 00:29:09.51\00:29:11.52 who has closed themselves off 00:29:11.55\00:29:13.04 to traditional forms of outreach. 00:29:13.07\00:29:15.09 If you believe as we do, and wants to support Heartwise, 00:29:15.12\00:29:18.58 so that together we can count more names on the tree of life. 00:29:18.61\00:29:22.48 Please consider donating today at heartwiseministries.org 00:29:22.51\00:29:26.69 that's heartwiseministries.org. 00:29:26.72\00:29:29.90 You've got questions, we've got answers 00:29:34.69\00:29:36.93 on the Heart of Health Live.

Pancreatitis means 00:30:28.87\00:30:30.42 there is inflammation of the pancreas, okay. 00:30:30.45\00:30:33.36 And the key for her is to find out why. 00:30:33.39\00:30:36.90 Lots of people that have pancreatitis 00:30:36.93\00:30:38.92 have scarring and calcifications. 00:30:38.95\00:30:41.30 But she wanted to know why did she have pancreatitis, 00:30:41.33\00:30:44.70 because that's going to be the key 00:30:44.73\00:30:46.15 to successful treatment. 00:30:46.18\00:30:48.11 The most common cause of pancreatitis 00:30:48.14\00:30:50.50 believe it or not is stones. 00:30:50.53\00:30:52.60 You pass a kidney stone through a duct, 00:30:52.63\00:30:54.98 it gets in the duct the fluids can't move through, 00:30:55.01\00:30:58.18 they make fluids like amylase that helps digests lots of- 00:30:58.21\00:31:01.46 The gall stone, yeah. Lots of, 00:31:01.49\00:31:02.54 you're right, that's common. 00:31:02.57\00:31:03.71 Sometimes it can be a medication. 00:31:03.74\00:31:06.28 Sometimes I'm hoping, you know, sometimes 00:31:06.31\00:31:08.24 it could be a toxin in her environment. 00:31:08.27\00:31:10.30 So sometimes people just get it. 00:31:10.33\00:31:12.76 So they want to know the reason why. 00:31:12.79\00:31:14.53 Now the treatment of pancreatitis, 00:31:14.56\00:31:16.21 believe it or not is to rest your pancreas 00:31:16.24\00:31:18.76 if you can let it heal. 00:31:18.79\00:31:21.17 And the pancreas digests protein. 00:31:21.20\00:31:23.78 So also we tell people less protein. 00:31:23.81\00:31:26.42 You know let the pancreas heal itself 00:31:26.45\00:31:28.21 while your doctors look for the cause. 00:31:28.24\00:31:30.68 So I guess the big thing Kathleen 00:31:30.71\00:31:32.75 is to see if they can figure out why it's happening. 00:31:32.78\00:31:35.78 If they can figure out why it's happening 00:31:35.81\00:31:37.40 that's going to be the key to treatment. 00:31:37.43\00:31:39.31 As far as natural remedies, yes the natural remedies 00:31:39.34\00:31:42.65 is to rest your pancreas by not eating a lot of, 00:31:42.68\00:31:45.69 especially protein rich foods, fatty foods, 00:31:45.72\00:31:48.52 tend to make it worst too. 00:31:48.55\00:31:49.90 So she's going to want to get on, 00:31:49.93\00:31:51.13 sort of a plant based diet. 00:31:51.16\00:31:53.48 She's going to want to have her doctors 00:31:53.51\00:31:55.16 look for things including medicines and toxins and stones 00:31:55.19\00:31:58.63 that could be causing this so, 00:31:58.66\00:32:00.13 I hope that helps a little bit, okay. 00:32:00.16\00:32:03.40 Thank you very much. 00:32:03.43\00:32:04.78 She has had problems with kidney stones 00:32:04.81\00:32:06.97 and gall stones in the past. 00:32:07.00\00:32:08.59 And both of those, you know, the other thing 00:32:08.62\00:32:10.29 I would just add to it, Dr. Marcum, 00:32:10.32\00:32:12.82 we're saying here is the importance of finding out 00:32:12.85\00:32:15.30 how she got this is crucial to prevention the next time around. 00:32:15.33\00:32:19.52 So they can work with her on diet and those type of things 00:32:19.55\00:32:23.02 but she doesn't want to get it again, 00:32:23.05\00:32:25.05 it's no fun. Right. 00:32:25.08\00:32:27.20 Thank you for calling us Kathleen. 00:32:27.23\00:32:28.75 Okay, we appreciate it. 00:32:28.78\00:32:30.85 Danielle, you're on Heart of Health Live. 00:32:30.88\00:32:33.15 Go ahead with your question, Danielle. 00:32:33.18\00:32:36.28 Yes, yes. My daughter is 8 months old 00:32:36.31\00:32:40.08 and I wanted to find out 00:32:40.11\00:32:41.28 what her blood type was so I called today. 00:32:41.31\00:32:44.23 And my question is I am O positive, 00:32:44.26\00:32:47.05 my husband is B negative 00:32:47.08\00:32:48.60 but they said her blood type is B positive. 00:32:48.63\00:32:53.07 Is that common, that you can have a combination? 00:32:53.10\00:32:58.71 If you have the positive tag to it, 00:32:58.74\00:33:01.64 then she's going to be positive, 00:33:01.67\00:33:03.34 so there can be O, B and a positive, negative 00:33:03.37\00:33:07.25 is just which one she picks up. 00:33:07.28\00:33:09.00 So, yes, that's very common, that's not uncommon at all. 00:33:09.03\00:33:12.24 Yeah, but that's fine. I mean- 00:33:12.28\00:33:16.55 She's still all yours. 00:33:16.59\00:33:17.90 Yeah, she is yours. 00:33:17.93\00:33:19.79 All yours.
