Welcome to another
edition to Newstart Now.
00:00:23.94\00:00:26.86
A program that showcases guests
00:00:27.28\00:00:29.62
attending our
18-day Newstart program
00:00:29.63\00:00:32.71
here at Weimar, California.
00:00:32.72\00:00:34.94
My name is Ron,
I'll be your host today.
00:00:35.68\00:00:37.82
We have a special guest
with us Maurice Huffman,
00:00:38.21\00:00:41.75
otherwise known as "Big Moe."
00:00:42.39\00:00:44.43
We're gonna hear a little bit of
00:00:45.24\00:00:46.47
moose music here in a moment,
00:00:46.48\00:00:48.09
but first we'd
like to show you a clip.
00:00:48.42\00:00:50.67
Yeah, I gained 150 pounds
00:00:52.04\00:00:55.12
since I moved to the States.
00:00:55.13\00:00:56.61
I moved in 1989, I moved
to California from Germany
00:00:57.10\00:01:00.60
and change of lifestyle
and I also fell victim of a,
00:01:01.64\00:01:06.39
I'll admit the
fast food at the time,
00:01:07.52\00:01:09.37
didn't know
much about it's traps
00:01:10.24\00:01:11.86
and poisons and I
gained 150 pounds.
00:01:11.87\00:01:16.42
I got up to 410 pounds.
00:01:16.43\00:01:17.91
And with that came a lot of pain
00:01:19.06\00:01:22.80
and other
illnesses, you know breaks
00:01:22.81\00:01:25.77
thinking that I
am felling lighter,
00:01:25.78\00:01:27.43
doing things
that should be doing,
00:01:27.44\00:01:28.83
breaking bones here and there
00:01:29.54\00:01:30.68
and then getting sleep apnea.
00:01:30.69\00:01:32.48
And then diabetes set in
00:01:37.33\00:01:38.81
and higher blood pressure.
00:01:39.57\00:01:41.12
So you know
there's not many, I'm 48,
00:01:42.05\00:01:45.62
there are not may be
50 year old 410 pounders
00:01:45.63\00:01:48.51
around I think, so it's just,
00:01:48.52\00:01:51.35
I'm just at the end of the road,
00:01:51.36\00:01:52.77
I tried everything myself.
00:01:52.78\00:01:54.10
I tried different
exercises, different diets
00:01:54.11\00:01:57.05
and different
and just don't seem
00:01:57.06\00:02:00.34
to get a grip on myself.
00:02:00.35\00:02:02.28
I think that I
know what I need to do,
00:02:02.29\00:02:03.98
I just can't get convert it,
00:02:05.43\00:02:06.50
my goal is to feel better.
00:02:07.82\00:02:09.40
I felt bad long enough
now and I know you're not
00:02:10.17\00:02:14.64
supposed to feel tired
like that on daily basis.
00:02:14.65\00:02:16.48
That just can't be
right. So, you get used to it
00:02:16.92\00:02:21.06
because it sneaks upon you
00:02:21.07\00:02:22.08
and you forget
how it feels good.
00:02:22.41\00:02:25.05
Yeah. And you
just put up with it
00:02:25.06\00:02:28.04
and you get power on to the pain
00:02:28.05\00:02:29.64
to the daily
things you adjust to it.
00:02:29.65\00:02:32.19
You know you go to
a King size catalog.
00:02:32.20\00:02:33.83
I can get off, I
could get of with Glucophage
00:02:35.06\00:02:38.33
and the high
blood pressure medicine,
00:02:38.34\00:02:39.81
due to what you learn here
00:02:41.27\00:02:43.37
and the diet and the exercise
00:02:43.38\00:02:44.75
and really look
forward to that happening.
00:02:45.23\00:02:48.77
So Moe, it seems to
me that you're just sick
00:02:51.26\00:02:55.83
and tired of
being sick and tired.
00:02:55.84\00:02:57.56
That's exactly right.
Why don't you elaborate
00:02:57.57\00:03:00.44
a little bit about
our first interview,
00:03:00.45\00:03:03.11
tell us where you've
come to from that point.
00:03:03.12\00:03:06.73
From that point very
first thing of course
00:03:07.52\00:03:11.38
I've explained was the food here
00:03:11.39\00:03:12.97
and I think it was
a great introduction.
00:03:13.82\00:03:16.60
I don't know that's
planned that way or not but.
00:03:17.16\00:03:19.21
It's a great thing because
00:03:19.22\00:03:20.93
there's a little
bit of fear of course
00:03:21.34\00:03:22.90
you know when
you will first hear
00:03:22.91\00:03:24.33
the word vegan or whole plant,
00:03:24.34\00:03:26.95
whole food diet like that
00:03:28.49\00:03:29.90
and but I was
taking it away right away
00:03:29.91\00:03:31.94
because it was a tasty lunch.
00:03:32.95\00:03:34.78
So that was a good introduction,
00:03:35.54\00:03:36.83
good, and so that
fear kind of went away.
00:03:37.25\00:03:40.62
But what I've learned is
that if you concentrate on
00:03:41.81\00:03:46.93
what's good for you
and you actually do it
00:03:46.94\00:03:48.72
with the guidance of
the people here it's easy.
00:03:49.25\00:03:52.52
It's much easier than I thought,
00:03:53.33\00:03:54.58
to get myself on
a bicycle and ride
00:03:55.01\00:03:58.59
and walk in that
beautiful area and the lectures
00:03:58.60\00:04:03.17
who really wants to be
lectured usually right.
00:04:04.08\00:04:06.29
I mean that's
another possible fear oh
00:04:06.30\00:04:08.75
I have to listen to lectures
00:04:08.76\00:04:10.86
but they gravely sank in.
00:04:11.27\00:04:13.85
They really, it's
amazing, it took 2 or 3 for me
00:04:13.86\00:04:16.46
to listen and the good
thing about the lectures
00:04:16.47\00:04:19.57
are that they
are repaired from the
00:04:19.58\00:04:21.28
sense of the message
that needs to come through
00:04:21.29\00:04:24.01
and it just sink in.
00:04:24.02\00:04:25.88
And it's just been
a greater awakening,
00:04:26.28\00:04:28.33
all the things I've
learned about the things
00:04:29.31\00:04:32.10
I've been eating and
it's just eye opening.
00:04:32.11\00:04:35.70
Now because you are eating now
00:04:36.18\00:04:38.58
that you're expressed to us,
00:04:38.59\00:04:39.98
what is the change are you.
00:04:40.46\00:04:42.97
Well I've lost 12
pounds already probably on 14
00:04:44.71\00:04:49.07
if you count in today
and wait yet tomorrow.
00:04:49.08\00:04:51.79
Which has been great,
I got another 400 mark.
00:04:52.78\00:04:54.97
Oh congratulations.
It's been about time
00:04:55.53\00:04:58.35
and the cholesterol's down,
00:04:59.49\00:05:02.74
stopped taking the
medication the Glucophage
00:05:03.85\00:05:05.55
and the cholesterol
00:05:05.56\00:05:06.57
and the heart
medication the last week.
00:05:06.58\00:05:08.19
So you stopped the
diabetes medication?
00:05:08.47\00:05:10.82
Yup I went down to
one pill on out of four
00:05:10.83\00:05:13.69
and out of five and one,
00:05:14.63\00:05:17.37
and then I've totally
stopped heart medication,
00:05:18.91\00:05:22.05
blood pressure and
the cholesterol medication
00:05:23.36\00:05:25.29
and my numbers
are still lower than
00:05:25.70\00:05:27.15
when I got here
without the medication.
00:05:27.16\00:05:29.37
So then you are doing fine
basically. I've been great.
00:05:30.12\00:05:32.82
You don't need the medication.
00:05:32.83\00:05:33.92
No, no just need to
continue this lifestyle.
00:05:34.31\00:05:37.42
Is there any
one particular thing
00:05:38.71\00:05:40.59
that you think
is most important?
00:05:40.60\00:05:42.93
Dr. Lukens said something
that really stuck with me
00:05:44.41\00:05:46.73
and said if you don't
wanna exercise one day
00:05:46.74\00:05:49.20
that's fine, just don't eat.
00:05:49.21\00:05:50.32
And you know it
can have that happen.
00:05:55.68\00:05:57.28
No. No. So yeah,
what stuck with me is
00:05:57.29\00:06:01.66
it's not hard to prepare
the food, it's tasty food.
00:06:01.67\00:06:06.36
The message that comes across
00:06:07.27\00:06:09.01
from the people
here, like I tell you
00:06:09.73\00:06:12.32
I am very happy about how
00:06:12.33\00:06:15.20
the genuine care
of the people here.
00:06:15.74\00:06:17.89
I've been to doctors
where all it seems like
00:06:18.06\00:06:20.18
they want to do is just
get you out of their office.
00:06:20.74\00:06:22.80
You're 5 minutes are up
take another medication,
00:06:22.81\00:06:25.42
see you soon hopefully. Alright.
00:06:26.31\00:06:27.97
And that's basically I
hate to say it like that
00:06:28.35\00:06:30.81
but that's kind of
how it's been here,
00:06:30.82\00:06:32.78
the people here genuinely care.
00:06:33.58\00:06:35.49
I have never
experienced something like that
00:06:35.83\00:06:37.27
in the medical
field or anywhere ever,
00:06:37.28\00:06:39.26
you can just
feel everybody in the
00:06:40.49\00:06:42.73
massage area, the
doctors, the staff.
00:06:42.74\00:06:46.00
There is some real genuine care
00:06:46.77\00:06:48.14
for the heart and
that's just huge. Yeah.
00:06:48.15\00:06:50.47
And that
motivates, makes me wanna
00:06:50.48\00:06:53.74
do the program and it makes me
00:06:53.75\00:06:56.03
wanna continue the program.
00:06:56.04\00:06:57.23
And I have some serious goals.
00:06:58.05\00:06:59.64
Tell us what your goals are?
00:07:00.51\00:07:02.35
I wanna get down to 250
pounds in the next year,
00:07:02.72\00:07:05.07
I know it's gonna take that long
00:07:05.50\00:07:07.03
and it's not long
you know it took me
00:07:07.39\00:07:09.14
six years to put it on,
so a year to take it off
00:07:09.53\00:07:12.51
isn't that bad?
And I wanna feel better
00:07:12.52\00:07:15.91
and get healthier and get
rid of all the medications
00:07:15.92\00:07:18.77
and be able to do a
much better show my music
00:07:19.54\00:07:22.38
and I have also
must have been touched
00:07:22.39\00:07:25.10
by the spiritual
part of this place.
00:07:25.11\00:07:26.94
Really; tell us about that,
00:07:27.41\00:07:28.66
I am interested in
knowing about that.
00:07:28.67\00:07:30.26
You know I haven't had
the affiliation much with,
00:07:30.60\00:07:33.66
I haven't been in touch
with that side of my life
00:07:33.67\00:07:37.08
too much and my
other side away for this
00:07:37.09\00:07:39.84
or the reason and
that was a bit of fear too
00:07:39.85\00:07:44.01
about coming to a
place where I know
00:07:44.37\00:07:46.61
God plays a big
role. And I've been distant
00:07:46.62\00:07:50.83
from that for some
unknown reason not for sure
00:07:50.84\00:07:53.16
to tell you the
truth, but it's probably
00:07:53.17\00:07:54.95
much closer to that and
actually for the first time
00:07:54.96\00:07:58.00
in my life I think so to
give it way more thought,
00:07:58.01\00:08:01.37
because I feel the
spirit with the people here.
00:08:01.85\00:08:04.26
Amen. That's not man made.
00:08:04.27\00:08:07.56
Right good, good.
00:08:07.57\00:08:09.38
So is there
something that you can tell
00:08:10.31\00:08:13.59
our viewing audience
that they might start today
00:08:13.60\00:08:17.40
that would help them,
I mean you are 410 pounds
00:08:17.41\00:08:21.01
when you get here. Yeah.
00:08:21.02\00:08:22.09
You've lost about 15 pounds,
00:08:22.10\00:08:24.29
those people out
there that weigh 250
00:08:24.63\00:08:26.89
that want to
lose 20 pounds. Yeah.
00:08:26.90\00:08:29.33
That's not a big deal
to you but to them it is.
00:08:29.34\00:08:32.33
It is and it's not
easy. You have to stick
00:08:32.70\00:08:36.32
to the program and
the most important thing
00:08:36.33\00:08:38.93
is what I learned here is
00:08:38.94\00:08:39.93
two thirds of the
program is walking exercise.
00:08:39.94\00:08:43.34
And make it sport
that you like you know
00:08:44.17\00:08:46.82
it's whether
ride a bicycle or walk
00:08:46.83\00:08:48.61
or walk in area that you like.
00:08:48.62\00:08:49.82
So you can enjoy it
and eat as much as you
00:08:50.22\00:08:53.77
want there's no
starvation in this program.
00:08:53.78\00:08:57.02
Right. Eat the right
foods, they're tasty,
00:08:57.46\00:08:59.62
what ever the dish, no
problem about portions.
00:08:59.63\00:09:01.98
And stick with it
and it just works,
00:09:02.73\00:09:07.27
it's not a diet. Correct.
00:09:07.28\00:09:09.70
It's a lifestyle
program the way it's called
00:09:10.49\00:09:12.56
and it works great. Great.
00:09:12.57\00:09:14.52
Now you mentioned
your music and I see that
00:09:14.93\00:09:17.33
you brought your guitar here,
00:09:17.34\00:09:19.17
can you get us just
a short gestation on
00:09:20.04\00:09:23.74
what do you do with the guitar?
00:09:24.11\00:09:25.58
I am a blue singer and
guitar player song writer
00:09:25.59\00:09:29.22
and I travel
around the blue shows
00:09:29.23\00:09:32.58
and wanted to give you
a little sample here of
00:09:32.59\00:09:35.76
a song that I
wrote about my parents.
00:09:35.77\00:09:38.15
My ma and my daddy
00:09:45.23\00:09:47.67
worked themselves to their bone.
00:09:47.68\00:09:51.48
My ma and my daddy
00:09:54.37\00:09:56.77
worked themselves to their bone,
00:09:56.78\00:10:00.27
when the man from the bank came,
00:10:03.09\00:10:06.10
he wanted to foreclose our home.
00:10:06.11\00:10:09.21
Fantastic, thank you
Mo. Folks, you know when
00:10:14.23\00:10:18.78
you're hearing it
direct from big Mo
00:10:18.79\00:10:22.34
and Mo came here a
couple of weeks ago
00:10:22.35\00:10:25.60
with some serious problems.
00:10:25.61\00:10:28.20
Extremely overweight,
but he is doing good now,
00:10:28.21\00:10:31.92
he is on track and this
is just one of thousands
00:10:31.93\00:10:35.50
of stories that we hear here
00:10:35.51\00:10:37.46
at the Newstart program.
I would like you to call
00:10:37.47\00:10:42.92
right away, come
and visit us at Weimar
00:10:42.93\00:10:45.66
if you would like at
our Newstart program,
00:10:45.67\00:10:48.44
call and sign up
for our next program.
00:10:48.45\00:10:50.98
Thank you once again, I
am your host Ron Giannoni
00:10:50.99\00:10:55.65
and I look forward to seeing

00:11:46.91\00:11:50.89
Welcome back
folks, to my left I have
00:12:05.57\00:12:08.14
Dr. Clarence Ing, Dr. Ing is the
00:12:08.15\00:12:11.94
Newstart Medical
Director here at Weimar.
00:12:11.95\00:12:15.09
Dr. Ing, I am hearing
the stories especially
00:12:15.10\00:12:19.47
about Mo and the progress that
00:12:19.48\00:12:22.69
he's made, are all these true?
00:12:22.70\00:12:24.68
These stories actually happened?
00:12:24.69\00:12:26.57
These stories actually happened,
00:12:26.58\00:12:28.70
and it's exciting to
see what happens in people's
00:12:28.71\00:12:32.26
lives when they change
the way that they live.
00:12:32.27\00:12:35.45
It's been really
exciting to work here at Weimar
00:12:35.46\00:12:39.49
and other areas
where I worked in the area
00:12:39.50\00:12:41.72
of lifestyle medicine,
which I have been doing
00:12:41.73\00:12:43.60
since 1978.
People come in with their
00:12:43.61\00:12:47.68
various challenges,
complaints, illnesses
00:12:47.69\00:12:51.27
whatever you want to call them.
00:12:51.28\00:12:52.84
They are very felling
less when they come in
00:12:52.85\00:12:55.08
because they are sick
and tired of being sick
00:12:55.09\00:12:56.70
and tiredness.
Say, well you came
00:12:56.71\00:12:58.42
to the right place. And
so as you work with them,
00:12:58.43\00:13:02.08
as they make changes
and they are activity
00:13:02.09\00:13:04.11
levels exercise
and their food intake,
00:13:04.12\00:13:08.63
we find that those
with diabetes their
00:13:08.64\00:13:12.34
blood sugars come
down, their blood pressures
00:13:12.35\00:13:15.91
come down and in our
experience 40% of the
00:13:15.92\00:13:19.72
people were type 2
diabetes are able to
00:13:19.73\00:13:23.95
have normal blood
sugars, after they've adapted
00:13:23.96\00:13:27.37
the program within 3
months without having
00:13:27.38\00:13:29.34
using any
medication. And even those who
00:13:29.35\00:13:31.70
still have to
use some medication,
00:13:31.71\00:13:33.62
usually can get by with
less medication and have
00:13:33.63\00:13:36.28
better control
of their diabetes.
00:13:36.29\00:13:38.00
We have seen this
time and time again.
00:13:38.01\00:13:40.15
That's right, you are
telling me, you're telling
00:13:40.16\00:13:41.64
the audience here
that all one needs to do
00:13:41.65\00:13:45.02
is change their lifestyles
and they can get rid of
00:13:45.03\00:13:47.78
diabetes and
high blood pressure,
00:13:47.79\00:13:49.88
losing weight
itself. Well depending on
00:13:49.89\00:13:54.58
your definition of
getting rid of diabetes,
00:13:54.59\00:13:56.99
if your definition means having
00:13:57.00\00:13:58.87
a normal blood
sugar, yes then 40% of the
00:13:58.88\00:14:02.65
individuals with type 2
diabetes in our experience
00:14:02.66\00:14:05.86
have been able to
have normal blood sugars
00:14:05.87\00:14:08.59
without having to
use their medication
00:14:08.60\00:14:10.41
if they follow the
guide lines that they
00:14:10.42\00:14:12.03
are given here. It's
a matter of adjusting
00:14:12.04\00:14:15.48
their activity
levels, adjusting their food
00:14:15.49\00:14:17.71
intake and you know
it's changing their lifestyle
00:14:17.72\00:14:21.14
because basically
most of the diseases which
00:14:21.15\00:14:24.06
people suffer from
here in the United States
00:14:24.07\00:14:27.30
are related to
their lifestyles you know.
00:14:27.31\00:14:29.40
Diabetes, high blood
pressure, heart disease,
00:14:29.41\00:14:33.03
high cholesterol,
cancer and all of these
00:14:33.04\00:14:36.61
so called chronic
diseases like even
00:14:36.62\00:14:39.73
arthritis are
related to our lifestyles.
00:14:39.74\00:14:42.40
Do you have any
statistics lately of the
00:14:42.41\00:14:48.23
number of, let's
just start with diabetics.
00:14:48.24\00:14:51.03
Both pre-diabetic
and diabetic people here
00:14:51.04\00:14:56.56
in this country? Well,
according to the latest
00:14:56.57\00:15:00.51
information now,
there is approximately
00:15:00.52\00:15:02.96
24 million people in
the United States with
00:15:02.97\00:15:06.04
diabetes and probably
90% of these individuals
00:15:06.05\00:15:11.49
have type 2 diabetes
and type 2 diabetes is very
00:15:11.50\00:15:16.26
closely related with
lifestyle and we're finding
00:15:16.27\00:15:19.49
even teenagers
are developing type 2
00:15:19.50\00:15:23.88
diabetes and that's
related to the problem
00:15:23.89\00:15:27.10
we have with
teenagers being obsessed
00:15:27.11\00:15:28.83
and the epidemic of
obesity we have in teenagers.
00:15:28.84\00:15:31.82
And the incidence
throughout the number
00:15:31.83\00:15:35.31
of cases of diabetes
in US is also related to
00:15:35.32\00:15:38.56
if you want to call it,
the fattening of America.
00:15:38.57\00:15:42.67
Now there is two
thirds of adult Americans
00:15:42.68\00:15:45.83
are overweight and
as Americans become
00:15:45.84\00:15:49.46
more and more over weight,
00:15:49.47\00:15:50.98
of course your risk
of diabetes goes up,
00:15:50.99\00:15:53.32
your risk for
heart disease goes up,
00:15:53.33\00:15:55.11
higher blood
pressure. Is there anything
00:15:55.12\00:15:56.99
specifically that
as a doctor that you
00:15:57.00\00:15:59.97
do to the guest
that come to Weimar,
00:15:59.98\00:16:03.26
the Newstart program,
any thing that you do,
00:16:03.27\00:16:07.85
any kind of
medication that you give them?
00:16:07.86\00:16:09.82
I think probably the
main medication you give them
00:16:10.84\00:16:14.18
is hope. You know
as we work with them
00:16:14.19\00:16:17.61
they find that
with simple changes
00:16:17.62\00:16:20.81
in their activity,
simple changes in their
00:16:20.82\00:16:23.18
food intake. Wonderful
things happen as far as
00:16:23.19\00:16:27.57
their pain levels
go, as far as their
00:16:27.58\00:16:29.66
cholesterol go,
their blood sugar levels go
00:16:29.67\00:16:32.42
and they're just you
know really overjoyed.
00:16:32.43\00:16:35.47
And also those who
are what most people
00:16:35.48\00:16:39.01
call overweight, I
call them too short.
00:16:39.02\00:16:41.80
They find that they are
able to lose weight as well
00:16:41.81\00:16:45.46
and it's remarkable
how fast this can happen.
00:16:45.47\00:16:49.04
Now is it pretty
common as Mo said that after
00:16:49.05\00:16:54.11
just a few days, he
was taken off of certain
00:16:54.12\00:16:57.04
medications. Does this
happen quite frequently?
00:16:57.05\00:16:59.85
This happens very
frequently those who
00:16:59.86\00:17:01.94
come in with
diabetes, we start to have to
00:17:01.95\00:17:05.53
decrease their
medicines and stop some of them
00:17:05.54\00:17:08.39
because if we don't
the blood sugars will
00:17:08.40\00:17:10.52
go too low. So this
is very, something that
00:17:10.53\00:17:13.87
we're very aware of and
we work for the patients
00:17:13.88\00:17:16.91
and monitor them
carefully so that they do well.
00:17:16.92\00:17:19.87
So you monitor
them as the Fredder say
00:17:19.88\00:17:22.81
you monitor every
day, doing blood test
00:17:22.82\00:17:26.98
and how does that
happen? Well, with the patients
00:17:26.99\00:17:30.31
who have diabetes we
have them check their
00:17:30.32\00:17:32.08
blood sugar or blood
glucose levels at least
00:17:32.09\00:17:35.23
four times a day and as
their sugar levels change,
00:17:35.24\00:17:39.73
we adjust their
medication as is necessary.
00:17:39.74\00:17:42.88
Oh wonderful, now
what about the food,
00:17:42.89\00:17:46.49
you mentioned the certain foods,
00:17:46.50\00:17:48.47
is there a certain type
of food that you recommend
00:17:48.48\00:17:51.82
for people with
diabetes and cardio vascular
00:17:51.83\00:17:54.94
disease and such?
Well, we have 5 words which
00:17:54.95\00:17:58.38
we used to describe the
foods that people should
00:17:58.39\00:18:02.54
choose and those
five words are whole plant
00:18:02.55\00:18:06.79
foods eaten whole.
Very simple, whole plant
00:18:06.80\00:18:11.61
foods eat in whole,
five words, five letters
00:18:11.62\00:18:15.86
for each word but if
you use those five words
00:18:15.87\00:18:19.03
to govern your food
choices, you are going
00:18:19.04\00:18:22.99
to have a lot better
health, your cholesterol
00:18:23.00\00:18:25.07
if it is high
will usually go down.
00:18:25.08\00:18:27.67
It will help
individuals who are too short,
00:18:27.68\00:18:30.30
overweight to lose
weight and you know
00:18:30.31\00:18:34.11
it's remarkable
how simple food choices
00:18:34.12\00:18:37.40
make a profound difference.
00:18:37.41\00:18:38.66
Not only the food
that they eat but how often
00:18:38.67\00:18:41.38
they eat and
when they eat makes a
00:18:41.39\00:18:42.98
difference as well. So
we found that with those
00:18:42.99\00:18:45.86
who are overweight, one
of the things that helps
00:18:45.87\00:18:49.30
them to lose weight
very nicely is eliminating
00:18:49.31\00:18:53.50
their evening meal.
You can have a breakfast
00:18:53.51\00:18:55.96
in a lunch, we prefer
that they get the food
00:18:55.97\00:18:58.19
in before, now their
food intake be completed
00:18:58.20\00:19:00.89
by the latest at 3
O'clock in the afternoon
00:19:00.90\00:19:04.03
and that when they
make these adjustments.
00:19:04.04\00:19:06.55
It's a lot easier
for them to lose weight
00:19:06.56\00:19:09.39
because if we
eat later in the day.
00:19:09.40\00:19:11.17
We eat a larger
evening meal as is the custom
00:19:11.18\00:19:13.84
here in the United
States, I'm not sure you're
00:19:13.85\00:19:16.38
going to go out and
exercise and burn up
00:19:16.39\00:19:19.51
or use up those
calories it's got to be stored.
00:19:19.52\00:19:22.44
It's either going to
be stored in our cells
00:19:22.45\00:19:24.43
or the liver as
glycogen and if those areas are
00:19:24.44\00:19:29.33
already filled then
it's gonna be stored as fat.
00:19:29.34\00:19:32.49
And fat's a three
letter word that most
00:19:32.50\00:19:35.55
people don't like. Now
do you work with doctors
00:19:35.56\00:19:39.39
outside of the
Newstart program for instance
00:19:39.40\00:19:43.50
Mo's doctor before he got here.
00:19:43.51\00:19:46.15
You need some sort of
clearance for anyone to
00:19:46.16\00:19:49.52
come the program
here. Well you know if the
00:19:49.53\00:19:52.09
doctor wants to talk
us, we're happy to talk
00:19:52.10\00:19:54.19
with the doctor. We request that
00:19:54.20\00:19:57.71
the patients bring as
much information about
00:19:57.72\00:20:00.34
their medical history and
00:20:00.35\00:20:01.47
what they have been doing.
00:20:01.48\00:20:02.71
You know any diagnostic
test and lab work with in
00:20:02.72\00:20:05.37
when they come
but sometimes people
00:20:05.38\00:20:08.61
of a kind, they don't
have any of those things.
00:20:08.62\00:20:10.71
But we do a thorough
evaluation of the patient
00:20:10.72\00:20:13.18
and advice them what
appropriate measures they
00:20:13.19\00:20:17.35
need to implement in
their life to get the
00:20:17.36\00:20:20.97
improvement that they desire.
00:20:20.98\00:20:22.43
Well I'm hearing a
lot of information from
00:20:23.23\00:20:26.50
various people,
almost like there is
00:20:26.51\00:20:28.69
miracles that
actually takes place there.
00:20:28.70\00:20:30.81
Is it fair to say that
most people who come to
00:20:31.22\00:20:33.37
the program actually get better,
00:20:33.38\00:20:36.44
meaning their energy goes up,
00:20:36.45\00:20:39.62
they lose weight;
they might be taken off
00:20:39.63\00:20:41.85
certain
medications. Does that work for
00:20:41.86\00:20:43.93
everyone that
comes for the program?
00:20:43.94\00:20:45.37
I think well when you
say does it work for most
00:20:45.38\00:20:47.66
people I would
say unequivocally yes,
00:20:47.67\00:20:50.04
it does work for most people.
00:20:50.05\00:20:51.45
If it works for
everyone I would no,
00:20:52.43\00:20:54.55
not everyone, not a
100%. But there again,
00:20:54.56\00:20:57.78
the more carefully
the patients follow the
00:20:57.79\00:21:00.93
suggestions and
advice the better they do.
00:21:00.94\00:21:02.84
Because we also
realize we have some of our
00:21:03.44\00:21:05.83
patients have
cancer and other things and
00:21:05.84\00:21:08.12
sometimes when
they come with cancer,
00:21:08.13\00:21:10.23
they're really what
are preterminal medical,
00:21:10.24\00:21:15.34
you know medical
science has given up and they
00:21:15.35\00:21:17.36
say you know there is no hope,
00:21:17.37\00:21:18.50
there is nothing
we can do for you,
00:21:18.51\00:21:19.75
go on home, enjoy
yourself and do what you can.
00:21:19.76\00:21:23.41
Well Dr. Ing, I
really like to thank you this
00:21:24.70\00:21:26.73
time for joining us
here our studio and I
00:21:26.74\00:21:30.20
appreciate the
work you're doing at the
00:21:30.21\00:21:31.88
Newstart program and
we'll look forward in
00:21:31.89\00:21:36.03
the future for
another interview perhaps.
00:21:36.04\00:21:38.59
It's great to be here,
thank you very much Ron.
00:21:38.60\00:21:40.93
Yes, and thank you
folks, thank you for joining
00:21:40.94\00:21:44.23
us once again, we
look forward to seeing
00:21:44.24\00:21:46.83
you next week, good night.
00:21:46.84\00:21:49.07
Hi and welcome, my name is Cathy
00:22:03.61\00:22:05.29
and today we have with
us Pastor Jim Brackett.
00:22:05.30\00:22:08.09
Pastor Brackett, you
taught college nutrition
00:22:08.10\00:22:10.19
for 10 years,
there must be a lot of
00:22:10.20\00:22:11.88
exciting things
you can share with us
00:22:11.89\00:22:13.46
about nutrition.
Well it's so fascinating,
00:22:13.47\00:22:16.38
because the world
of the cell and getting
00:22:16.39\00:22:19.49
nutrients from our
food, that whole thing is just
00:22:19.50\00:22:22.90
so fascinating.
It's just marvelous,
00:22:22.91\00:22:25.50
the mechanics and
the transport and the
00:22:25.51\00:22:28.91
of course the
digestion and absorption.
00:22:28.92\00:22:31.28
It's just
endless, I mean you can get
00:22:31.29\00:22:33.05
PhDs in the most
new area and still we're
00:22:33.06\00:22:36.30
scratching the
surface. Wow, wow.
00:22:36.31\00:22:37.69
But one of the
things that I'm always enjoy
00:22:38.53\00:22:42.75
helping audiences
understand is this issue
00:22:42.76\00:22:45.45
of what we call fiber. Okay.
00:22:45.46\00:22:47.23
And I have people do
it with me just for fun,
00:22:47.24\00:22:51.04
I have been put
their fingers together like
00:22:51.05\00:22:53.31
this and then draw
their fingers toward their
00:22:53.32\00:22:55.63
hand like that and
I say that's how much
00:22:55.64\00:22:58.22
fiber is in all animal products.
00:22:58.23\00:23:01.03
How much? Nothing. Zero, zero,
00:23:03.07\00:23:05.92
it doesn't matter if
it's milk or cheese or eggs
00:23:05.93\00:23:10.72
or fish or foul or any kind,
00:23:10.73\00:23:12.64
there will be zero
fiber. Now fiber comes in
00:23:12.65\00:23:15.53
two broad categories,
we call it soluble and
00:23:15.54\00:23:18.78
insoluble. And
the insoluble fiber,
00:23:18.79\00:23:22.82
when it gets mixed
with water, it doesn't,
00:23:24.21\00:23:28.22
I am sorry, the soluble fiber
00:23:28.23\00:23:30.85
when it gets mixed with
water it doesn't dissolve
00:23:30.86\00:23:32.81
like sugar would in
a glass of lemonade or
00:23:32.82\00:23:37.38
something, but it
absorbs the water and makes
00:23:37.39\00:23:40.17
a gelatinous
slurry. This is in the
00:23:40.18\00:23:44.12
small intestine
and the purpose of that
00:23:44.13\00:23:49.78
gelatinous slurry is to
slow the movement of the
00:23:49.79\00:23:53.06
nutrients. It's like
if everybody was in a
00:23:53.07\00:23:55.89
swimming pool,
playing volleyball
00:23:55.90\00:23:58.27
or something and
somebody said everybody out of
00:23:58.28\00:24:00.17
the pool. They could
all quickly get over to the
00:24:00.18\00:24:02.51
steps and climb out,
but if the pool was full
00:24:02.52\00:24:04.30
of molasses, it will
take a while to get out.
00:24:04.31\00:24:07.87
So the analogy is
that you have a meal and
00:24:09.12\00:24:12.09
the time it takes for
the meal to be digested
00:24:12.10\00:24:15.33
and absorbed is too
brief for when there is no
00:24:15.34\00:24:19.59
fiber there.
Okay. And however if the
00:24:19.60\00:24:22.65
fiber is there it might
take 5 or 6 hours for all
00:24:22.66\00:24:26.47
this and there are
many ramifications of that.
00:24:26.48\00:24:29.30
One is that
Americans have an unrefined,
00:24:30.12\00:24:33.50
a refined diet and in
terms of carbohydrates
00:24:33.51\00:24:38.98
and so these carbohydrates
are digested up into
00:24:38.99\00:24:43.26
sugars and the
sugars get into the blood
00:24:43.27\00:24:45.43
stream rapidly because
there is no fiber there
00:24:45.44\00:24:48.01
and they get these
big sugar spikes and then
00:24:48.02\00:24:49.92
they get these big sugar drops.
00:24:49.93\00:24:51.63
And they know
exactly what to do when that
00:24:52.24\00:24:53.99
drop occurs, just have
a piece of pie or doughnut
00:24:54.00\00:24:57.19
or something and they
get another spike and then
00:24:57.20\00:24:59.24
they get another
drop and so this is the
00:24:59.25\00:25:02.60
condition known as
what people call it
00:25:02.61\00:25:04.85
hypoglycemia, but
what we use in the
00:25:04.86\00:25:08.81
clinic is reactive hypoglycemia,
00:25:08.82\00:25:12.15
that is to say the
body is reacting the way you
00:25:12.16\00:25:14.30
are treating it.
If fiber is present,
00:25:14.31\00:25:16.63
the sugar is delivered
slowly to the blood steam
00:25:17.84\00:25:20.32
and the sugar rises
slightly after as the
00:25:20.33\00:25:22.89
meal's being digested
and it kind of starts to
00:25:22.90\00:25:25.00
fall slightly and the
body can completely control
00:25:25.01\00:25:27.76
that very easily.
Yeah. This reacting
00:25:27.77\00:25:29.85
hypoglycemia is the
forerunner to diabetes,
00:25:29.86\00:25:34.28
it is one of the
contributing factors
00:25:34.29\00:25:36.44
we don't exactly know
the mechanism but it's
00:25:36.45\00:25:39.92
real common and people
come to our classes and
00:25:39.93\00:25:45.46
we feed them plant based diet,
00:25:45.47\00:25:46.76
so they can get well
and they look at this
00:25:46.77\00:25:48.36
breakfast and they
think, I'm gonna get my M&Ms,
00:25:48.37\00:25:51.13
I am gonna be
hungry pretty soon,
00:25:51.14\00:25:52.91
they can't believe it.
Yes. It's not that there
00:25:52.92\00:25:55.10
is not enough food
there, but they look at it
00:25:55.11\00:25:56.77
but come on you know
that breakfast at 7 O'clock
00:25:56.78\00:25:59.89
and then by 1 O'clock.
They are hardly hungry,
00:25:59.90\00:26:02.96
they can't believe it.
Yes. Because the fibers
00:26:02.97\00:26:06.07
see has made it digest slowly.
00:26:06.08\00:26:08.08
Yes. Which is what
the body really needs,
00:26:08.09\00:26:10.76
now the unsoluble
fiber, it provides bulk and
00:26:11.32\00:26:16.70
that's a whole
another question maybe we can
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.63
get into sometime in
terms of the health of the
00:26:18.64\00:26:20.90
colon without that present.
00:26:20.91\00:26:22.75
It's a very interesting topic.
00:26:22.76\00:26:24.38
But this is absent in
all animal products and in
00:26:25.09\00:26:28.58
most of what
Americans eat from plants from
00:26:28.59\00:26:32.05
the store in a box or
a bag is also without it,
00:26:32.06\00:26:35.58
almost completely.
Yes. Americans are just,
00:26:35.59\00:26:38.60
it's just insane the
way we treat our bodies.
00:26:38.61\00:26:41.39
Create that sad diet, don't we?
00:26:41.40\00:26:42.96
It really is too
bad. Right now that most
00:26:42.97\00:26:44.14
people really need
the information about
00:26:44.15\00:26:45.63
the fiber. It's
really very very important
00:26:45.64\00:26:47.42
you see it on
cereal box and every thing.
00:26:47.43\00:26:48.88
Well for those of
you who would like more
00:26:48.89\00:26:50.84
information on fiber
and the importance of fiber,
