Hi folks, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:00:23.72\00:00:27.21
We have in our
studio today Tamara Skaar.
00:00:27.45\00:00:30.66
from Reno.
00:00:30.84\00:00:32.81
Tamara came to us a
couple weeks ago with some
00:00:33.00\00:00:36.24
problems with her feet,
00:00:36.42\00:00:38.12
a little obesity,
00:00:38.42\00:00:40.06
some depression,
00:00:40.21\00:00:42.00
and I'd like to
show you a clip about
00:00:42.18\00:00:44.48
her when she first arrived.
00:00:44.75\00:00:46.60
So let's break
away for that right now.
00:00:46.69\00:00:48.72
I come from a
family who is very large.
00:00:49.69\00:00:52.72
We like our
meat, we like our food.
00:00:55.18\00:00:57.69
And our hips and
our rear ends feel it.
00:00:57.78\00:01:00.87
What brought me to
the NEWSTART program was
00:01:01.45\00:01:04.84
I've got plantar fasciitis
00:01:05.06\00:01:06.84
in my feet,
00:01:07.18\00:01:08.87
and I'm gaining weight,
00:01:09.42\00:01:15.51
and I've got to lose weight.
I want to improve my health
00:01:15.75\00:01:19.12
and my family's health.
00:01:19.66\00:01:22.09
My perfect
outcome from this program
00:01:23.03\00:01:26.57
would be to have
no pain in my feet
00:01:27.00\00:01:30.21
or very little,
00:01:30.30\00:01:32.33
and to lose a good 20 pounds.
00:01:33.06\00:01:38.24
If I keep walking and keep
with the program I think I will
00:01:38.57\00:01:42.36
lose that 20
that I want to lose.
00:01:43.09\00:01:45.51
That's my goal
00:01:45.66\00:01:47.06
for while I'm here.
00:01:47.27\00:01:48.45
That would be perfect and
would be spiritually ideal.
00:01:49.21\00:01:54.18
Welcome back, and in
our studio like I promised,
00:01:55.69\00:01:58.54
Tamara, how are you?
00:01:58.60\00:01:59.72
Good. Good to see you.
00:01:59.87\00:02:01.36
Good to see you.
00:02:01.42\00:02:02.45
Well, I've got to say,
00:02:02.57\00:02:04.60
you've accomplished some of
your goals, at least visually.
00:02:05.00\00:02:08.60
You look much leaner,
00:02:08.78\00:02:10.60
you look happier,
you look a lot better.
00:02:11.00\00:02:13.30
Tell us about your stay
here at the NEWSTART program.
00:02:13.48\00:02:16.21
Well, I lost a few inches.
00:02:16.60\00:02:18.48
What do you mean
by "a few inches"?
00:02:18.72\00:02:20.48
I'm not sure how many.
00:02:20.75\00:02:22.33
Your clothes are
fitting you a lot better...?
00:02:22.42\00:02:24.81
My clothes are loose.
00:02:24.82\00:02:26.24
That happens, you know.
00:02:26.36\00:02:28.12
That happens, and has happened
with guests in the past.
00:02:28.36\00:02:31.18
They lose several inches.
00:02:31.39\00:02:32.78
Some don't even lose any weight.
00:02:33.00\00:02:34.60
But go on, let's tell about you.
00:02:34.75\00:02:36.18
Yeah, I've only
lost about four pounds,
00:02:36.24\00:02:39.33
but the inches are the
big one that I can see.
00:02:40.03\00:02:43.69
I've had a great time.
00:02:44.27\00:02:46.60
This place is wonderful.
00:02:46.81\00:02:48.48
The food is good.
00:02:48.54\00:02:49.84
The people that I've
00:02:50.06\00:02:52.15
gotten to stay
with are just so nice.
00:02:52.36\00:02:54.72
The best part is the
doctor comes and eats with us.
00:02:55.18\00:02:58.12
And he fixed us
dinner one night.
00:02:58.27\00:03:01.39
Really! And your
doctor is Doctor...
00:03:01.51\00:03:04.00
Well that was Doctor Lukens.
00:03:04.15\00:03:06.57
Wonderful. Is he a good cook?
00:03:06.75\00:03:08.78
Oh yeah. He's a very good cook.
00:03:09.00\00:03:11.03
And I've enjoyed the trails.
00:03:11.24\00:03:13.51
The trails are just...
It's so beautiful around here.
00:03:13.75\00:03:17.39
Did you get to walk
all 15 miles of trails?
00:03:17.60\00:03:20.57
No, I tried.
00:03:20.78\00:03:22.45
Too many appointments.
00:03:22.72\00:03:25.42
Now tell us about
your feet. I know you were
00:03:25.69\00:03:27.81
suffering from a
disease. Tell us about that.
00:03:28.15\00:03:31.33
I've got plantar fasciitis,
00:03:31.45\00:03:35.09
and it's where the large muscle
in the bottom of your foot
00:03:35.39\00:03:39.18
is tight.
00:03:39.30\00:03:40.63
And it makes every
muscle from in your calf
00:03:40.84\00:03:44.60
and it can go
clear up to your hips,
00:03:44.87\00:03:47.60
tight, and it can
be very debilitating.
00:03:47.78\00:03:53.21
So how's the change?
Has there been a change?
00:03:53.54\00:03:56.72
Oh, there's been a big change.
00:03:56.84\00:04:00.09
Now I have very
little pain in my feet.
00:04:00.42\00:04:03.15
I can get up in the morning and
00:04:03.36\00:04:07.00
walk without looking
like a little old lady
00:04:07.24\00:04:10.03
walking across the street.
00:04:10.09\00:04:12.12
Wonderful!
00:04:13.42\00:04:14.63
So what else has
happened? I know that when
00:04:15.78\00:04:18.36
our first interview took place,
00:04:18.63\00:04:20.30
you seemed to be a little
down, and now you seem happier.
00:04:20.54\00:04:24.09
Yeah, I feel better.
00:04:24.27\00:04:25.75
The diet has been wonderful.
00:04:26.09\00:04:29.21
I feel I have more energy.
00:04:29.45\00:04:31.66
Everybody around here has
been so supportive and nice.
00:04:32.24\00:04:39.63
They've helped us,
00:04:40.45\00:04:42.78
not just me, but others,
00:04:43.18\00:04:45.15
with dealing with the depression
00:04:45.21\00:04:48.78
and being able to get out of it.
00:04:49.24\00:04:52.39
With regard to your
visits with Doctor Lukens,
00:04:53.48\00:04:57.51
how many visits did
you have with your doctor?
00:04:57.87\00:05:00.30
I believe four or five.
00:05:04.06\00:05:05.63
And did you visit a long time?
00:05:06.03\00:05:07.78
Did you spend time
talking about your problems
00:05:07.79\00:05:10.60
and your conditions?
00:05:10.66\00:05:11.84
Oh yeah. When he was here
he gave me a full eye exam
00:05:13.06\00:05:17.81
and everything. It was great.
00:05:18.39\00:05:21.69
So what do you
think it was that helped
00:05:22.12\00:05:25.27
with your foot
problem and your weight loss?
00:05:25.28\00:05:28.69
The weight loss was definitely
the diet and exercise,
00:05:29.27\00:05:33.54
and the foot one was
the people in hydrotherapy.
00:05:34.15\00:05:40.30
They are very knowledgeable on
the human body and the muscles,
00:05:41.09\00:05:48.30
and they
happened to know a stretch
00:05:48.69\00:05:53.42
that is used on
Olympic athletes,
00:05:53.87\00:05:56.72
and they tried it on me.
00:05:57.03\00:06:00.15
In two days I
started to turn around.
00:06:00.54\00:06:03.66
So the people in hydrotherapy,
00:06:04.21\00:06:07.06
so we can
explain to our viewers,
00:06:07.39\00:06:09.18
the hydro and
the therapy together
00:06:09.30\00:06:11.48
are a combination
of water treatments
00:06:11.60\00:06:14.69
and massage therapy, right?
00:06:15.00\00:06:16.63
Right. And did you have both?
00:06:17.03\00:06:18.30
I had both. Okay.
00:06:18.45\00:06:19.87
In fact, I get foot baths.
00:06:20.21\00:06:23.21
They go from hot
to cold, hot to cold.
00:06:23.48\00:06:26.57
And then they massage the
calves and the feet afterwards.
00:06:27.06\00:06:33.66
Wonderful.
00:06:34.57\00:06:35.87
I want to ask you
about the lectures.
00:06:36.24\00:06:38.51
I know there were
several lectures you attended.
00:06:38.54\00:06:40.72
Do you think that these lectures
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.75
added to the
change in your life?
00:06:43.76\00:06:46.60
Oh yes.
00:06:46.63\00:06:48.15
The lectures
were very informative.
00:06:48.36\00:06:50.75
I learned a lot of stuff
00:06:50.76\00:06:52.39
from the lectures.
00:06:52.72\00:06:55.12
There was a lot
that I didn't know
00:06:56.57\00:07:01.45
that I got out of it,
00:07:01.87\00:07:03.75
and there was
some that I did know.
00:07:03.76\00:07:06.75
But like the
morning thing, Fresh Start,
00:07:07.42\00:07:11.12
that's where you
get the spiritual peace.
00:07:11.54\00:07:15.15
So in the
morning you get together
00:07:15.51\00:07:17.39
and they call this Fresh Start,
00:07:17.40\00:07:19.06
where you meet
with the chaplain?
00:07:19.54\00:07:21.51
Is that who...?
00:07:21.52\00:07:22.51
The chaplain comes in
and she does a little lecture
00:07:22.75\00:07:25.75
in the morning on... like
this morning it was prayer.
00:07:26.21\00:07:31.18
And she'll have a
little theme every day.
00:07:33.30\00:07:37.78
For a half hour you get to
listen to her tell stories and
00:07:38.12\00:07:41.72
talk about whatever
the subject of the day is.
00:07:42.03\00:07:46.06
It's a great way
to start the day.
00:07:46.57\00:07:49.51
Amen.
00:07:49.84\00:07:51.24
You mentioned that you'd been
00:07:51.57\00:07:53.06
out of work for
about three months.
00:07:53.07\00:07:54.69
Now do you have
plans to go back to work?
00:07:55.09\00:07:57.57
Yes.
00:07:57.58\00:07:58.69
When is that?
00:07:58.70\00:07:59.72
December eighth.
00:07:59.84\00:08:01.00
Oh wonderful! Good so soon.
00:08:01.15\00:08:03.72
Yes, and I'll be able to
stand there and do my job again.
00:08:04.51\00:08:08.45
Wonderful. Yeah.
00:08:09.42\00:08:10.69
And you hadn't been able
to do your job because you
00:08:10.81\00:08:12.87
weren't able to stand on
your feet, is that right?
00:08:12.88\00:08:14.84
Right. Okay, so
00:08:15.12\00:08:16.69
when you go home, what are you
going to do that's different,
00:08:17.12\00:08:20.09
that will keep you on this path
00:08:20.10\00:08:21.81
of recovery and
losing the weight,
00:08:22.09\00:08:26.54
and as you
described, you don't want
00:08:26.72\00:08:28.75
to get thighs like your aunt!
00:08:28.76\00:08:30.36
You mentioned that
in the first interview.
00:08:31.12\00:08:33.21
What are you going to do?
00:08:33.22\00:08:34.39
I'm going to keep with this.
00:08:34.75\00:08:36.84
I'm not going to give
this up, because it's too good.
00:08:37.12\00:08:40.60
I've tried different diets,
00:08:41.33\00:08:45.66
and this is the
only one that I've found
00:08:46.15\00:08:49.36
where I've seen results so soon
00:08:49.45\00:08:51.66
and felt so good.
00:08:52.30\00:08:54.42
I've got a friend I'm
going to get walking with me,
00:08:54.81\00:08:58.87
get my daughter to eat
the same stuff I'm eating,
00:08:59.12\00:09:02.81
and show her my stretches
so she can do them with me.
00:09:03.42\00:09:10.51
Awesome, good.
00:09:11.06\00:09:12.45
Well, I want to give you
00:09:13.00\00:09:15.66
a word of
encouragement that I know that
00:09:16.12\00:09:19.21
many thousands of people who
have come through our program
00:09:19.48\00:09:22.69
are still with us today because
they've followed this regimen.
00:09:23.00\00:09:26.87
And let me
remind the viewers that
00:09:27.36\00:09:29.66
this is more of a
lifestyle change than a diet.
00:09:29.75\00:09:33.06
We use the word
diet from time to time
00:09:33.18\00:09:35.66
only to describe the food.
00:09:35.67\00:09:37.36
I want to thank you for
joining us in the studio.
00:09:37.63\00:09:40.12
God bless you, and
you have a wonderful day.
00:09:40.45\00:09:43.45
Folks, for a free
copy of our brochure
00:09:44.12\00:09:48.09

We'll be right back.
00:09:54.75\00:09:56.69
Well, you've done very well.
00:09:58.18\00:09:59.81
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:06.24\00:10:07.51
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:07.52\00:10:09.60
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:10.15\00:10:11.45
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:12.33\00:10:15.12
about our 18-day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:15.13\00:10:18.09
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:18.72\00:10:21.51
with laboratory studies
00:10:21.52\00:10:22.81
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:23.00\00:10:24.75
physician consultations,
00:10:25.30\00:10:27.03
culinary school,
00:10:27.66\00:10:28.84
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:29.39\00:10:32.33
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:32.34\00:10:34.33
Your health is one of the most
00:10:36.39\00:10:37.81
important things
that you have. Don't wait.
00:10:37.82\00:10:39.84
Give us a call:
00:10:40.39\00:10:42.12
Or visit our website:
00:10:45.18\00:10:46.42
Hi folks, and welcome back.
00:11:04.15\00:11:05.84
To my left is a
familiar face, Doctor Lukens.
00:11:06.18\00:11:09.48
Glad to be here again.
00:11:10.03\00:11:11.24
Good to see you, Doc.
00:11:11.39\00:11:12.63
Now I want to get
into this...Tamara,
00:11:13.06\00:11:16.75
and talk about
what has happened there.
00:11:17.15\00:11:19.87
She mentioned
during her interview
00:11:20.12\00:11:22.36
that she'd lost a lot of inches.
00:11:22.37\00:11:24.42
Tell us about it.
Let's start there, please.
00:11:24.81\00:11:27.69
You know, it's
really sad in America
00:11:28.06\00:11:31.24
that everybody's
so focused on weight.
00:11:31.69\00:11:34.60
And some of my patients go away
00:11:35.45\00:11:38.42
practically well in every
area, but they didn't lose
00:11:39.21\00:11:42.69
that 15 pounds, or
whatever they had in their mind.
00:11:43.09\00:11:46.42
And she lost inches.
00:11:46.84\00:11:48.60
I may have said
this previously...
00:11:49.03\00:11:51.54
We had a lady that came here
when this was a 4-week program.
00:11:51.87\00:11:55.54
She lost four dress sizes,
00:11:56.33\00:11:58.81
and her weight was the same.
00:11:59.39\00:12:01.21
She changed the fat
00:12:01.60\00:12:03.15
over to lean body, which
is what everybody needs to do
00:12:03.30\00:12:06.48
for every kind of health reason.
00:12:07.06\00:12:09.45
But they had to talk to
her like a Dutch uncle because
00:12:09.72\00:12:12.84
she just hadn't lost the weight,
00:12:13.15\00:12:16.30
and that was....
00:12:16.51\00:12:17.87
So she says, "Well
what do I say to my friends?
00:12:17.88\00:12:20.66
Everybody's going to
ask me how much I weigh."
00:12:20.72\00:12:23.00
And she really
didn't lose any weight.
00:12:23.42\00:12:25.63
And so I would have told her,
if I had been here at the time,
00:12:26.00\00:12:28.78
Just pull your dress out to the
side and say, "How do I look?"
00:12:28.81\00:12:31.81
But that's the thing,
and as we go through the
00:12:32.21\00:12:35.06
checkout stand we see these
00:12:35.30\00:12:37.06
ladies that,
they're just so, so thin.
00:12:37.42\00:12:40.87
Some of them aren't healthy.
00:12:41.18\00:12:42.42
Then right after we get through
that part of the checkout stand,
00:12:42.66\00:12:47.75
we have all the goodies
there, and we're just....
00:12:48.03\00:12:51.00
And so people are so
concentrated on their weight
00:12:51.45\00:12:54.33
when they should be
concentrating on the exercise,
00:12:54.51\00:12:57.09
the health, and
all those other....
00:12:57.33\00:12:59.00
That's one of my things.
That's what I get off on.
00:12:59.24\00:13:01.42
So what I hear you
saying then is, the health
00:13:01.51\00:13:03.78
has not necessarily much to
do with the weight when you're
00:13:04.06\00:13:07.57
downsizing and getting healthy.
00:13:08.00\00:13:10.00
Forget about the
pounds. Exactly, exactly.
00:13:10.15\00:13:12.30
And she's told people how much
00:13:12.45\00:13:14.36
she's lost in
her arms and stuff.
00:13:14.37\00:13:16.36
They don't believe her.
00:13:16.54\00:13:17.57
I could see it during the
interview. I could see it.
00:13:17.84\00:13:20.60
There's some other things,
00:13:20.84\00:13:23.00
concerning weights and numbers,
00:13:23.42\00:13:26.00
that changed.
00:13:26.21\00:13:27.78
Tell us about
perhaps her cholesterol.
00:13:28.15\00:13:30.24
She didn't mention that.
00:13:30.25\00:13:31.48
but I know that...
00:13:31.54\00:13:32.63
Well, she was going to do
that at the banquet last night,
00:13:32.75\00:13:35.09
and she said, "I got so nervous
I couldn't remember what to..."
00:13:35.27\00:13:37.81
But see, her
cholesterol was 215,
00:13:38.21\00:13:40.66
which is too high even for a
woman that's her age, because
00:13:41.27\00:13:45.06
it will keep going higher
as it builds up in the body.
00:13:45.24\00:13:48.75
On the second
blood draw that she had,
00:13:49.33\00:13:54.27
only two weeks apart,
00:13:54.36\00:13:55.75
it went down to 152.
00:13:56.60\00:13:58.30
It's really amazing.
People just say, "Well,
00:13:58.75\00:14:02.72
maybe they mixed your
blood up with somebody else."
00:14:02.84\00:14:05.27
But we see that. We see
people drop 100 points too.
00:14:05.33\00:14:08.69
And when they get it below 150,
according to Doctor Costelli,
00:14:09.09\00:14:12.66
he never saw it in
anybody in Framingham.
00:14:13.06\00:14:15.48
that had a heart attack if their
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.03
cholesterol was
below 150. That's the mark.
00:14:18.24\00:14:21.00
Without medications.
00:14:21.45\00:14:22.45
We're talking about
without medications.
00:14:22.46\00:14:24.48
Now I also want to talk
about her plantar fasciitis,
00:14:24.84\00:14:28.51
which kept her, as she tells us,
00:14:28.84\00:14:31.63
from working. She'd been
off work for three months.
00:14:32.06\00:14:34.63
Now she comes here, she's here
for two weeks, and it's gone.
00:14:35.03\00:14:38.09
Yeah, that's unusual
for it to go that fast.
00:14:38.84\00:14:41.63
Sometimes you can
be bothered with it for
00:14:41.64\00:14:43.66
three to twelve months,
00:14:44.24\00:14:46.36
and be able to get over it.
00:14:46.78\00:14:48.69
But we see inflammation
decrease a lot in every area.
00:14:48.87\00:14:54.00
And I've talked about the
prostaglandins so many times.
00:14:54.09\00:14:57.00
When we see that they're
only on plant-based foods,
00:14:57.42\00:15:01.57
they get a
different prostaglandin
00:15:02.00\00:15:04.15
that dilates the
tiny little arteries,
00:15:04.45\00:15:06.48
and it just cuts
the inflammation.
00:15:06.66\00:15:08.60
And she's young,
compared to...whatever.
00:15:08.78\00:15:12.06
çlaughterÑ
00:15:12.12\00:15:13.15
You mean us? çlaughterÑ
00:15:13.16\00:15:15.15
She's young, and
she'll change more quickly.
00:15:15.48\00:15:18.84
She also was having
problems with asthma.
00:15:19.36\00:15:22.60
It wasn't a big
thing in her life,
00:15:22.72\00:15:25.24
or she would have
mentioned that, but...
00:15:25.48\00:15:27.06
But she had had it all her life.
00:15:27.21\00:15:28.24
Yeah, and the thing is,
that's going to clear up too.
00:15:28.48\00:15:31.33
I've seen people that were just
hopelessly afflicted with asthma
00:15:31.48\00:15:36.21
get to the place
where they don't even
00:15:36.45\00:15:38.15
have to use their
medications anymore.
00:15:38.16\00:15:39.69
And that's because of
00:15:40.03\00:15:41.03
the animal
proteins, especially milk.
00:15:41.04\00:15:43.06
And so for her to do
that.... And we see this so much
00:15:43.48\00:15:47.87
in rheumatoid arthritis.
00:15:48.36\00:15:50.03
One of the
other patients came in
00:15:50.09\00:15:52.15
and he was able to get off
00:15:52.39\00:15:54.21
one of the
medicines they had told him
00:15:54.36\00:15:56.00
that he'd never get off of.
00:15:56.01\00:15:57.12
And he felt a little better.
00:15:57.48\00:15:59.15
Well one of the reasons was the
side effects of the medication.
00:15:59.54\00:16:03.27
It was one of the medications
00:16:03.54\00:16:05.21
that we use for
malaria over in Africa.
00:16:05.22\00:16:07.33
And even off that medication he
was feeling a little bit better
00:16:07.54\00:16:11.69
as far as his pain was
concerned in his joints.
00:16:12.09\00:16:15.27
And he didn't have the
side effects of the medications
00:16:15.51\00:16:19.54
that were making him feel sick.
00:16:19.60\00:16:21.09
And so all of
these things are neat.
00:16:21.30\00:16:23.12
When you can do
it with lifestyle,
00:16:23.18\00:16:25.06
and when the body comes in
00:16:25.07\00:16:26.42
with all these
good plant-based foods,
00:16:26.60\00:16:28.87
and you get
decreased inflammation
00:16:29.18\00:16:31.51
and you get all these areas,
00:16:31.52\00:16:33.39
you're on your way.
00:16:33.63\00:16:35.30
Things change.
00:16:35.31\00:16:36.30
And it's
something that you can just
00:16:36.31\00:16:38.18
keep on doing
without the side effects.
00:16:38.19\00:16:40.12
So are you saying, or
am I hearing you correctly,
00:16:40.33\00:16:44.06
can we agree basically
that most of these diseases
00:16:44.30\00:16:47.66
are lifestyle diseases?
00:16:48.06\00:16:50.00
Well, they are
lifestyle diseases
00:16:50.15\00:16:53.39
and they're also very
much affected by what you eat.
00:16:53.42\00:16:56.75
And in this situation
with the prostaglandins,
00:16:57.09\00:17:02.84
you have to eat the
plant-based foods, and then
00:17:03.72\00:17:06.72
cancers, and sticky platelets,
00:17:07.78\00:17:11.21
and inflammation,
00:17:11.42\00:17:12.81
and dilation of
the blood vessels
00:17:12.84\00:17:14.81
so that your brain, your heart,
00:17:14.82\00:17:16.60
your kidneys are
getting all those good
00:17:16.78\00:17:21.27
oxygenations. And you know,
00:17:21.54\00:17:24.21
they're going to
start getting healthy.
00:17:24.30\00:17:25.81
It happens quickly.
00:17:26.09\00:17:27.36
But why, Doc, why can't someone,
00:17:27.39\00:17:29.87
like the viewers who
are watching right now
00:17:30.15\00:17:32.30
and say, "Well I can do that."
00:17:32.31\00:17:33.72
Can they do that at home
00:17:34.09\00:17:35.51
and not have to come
to the NEWSTART program?
00:17:35.52\00:17:38.18
They can do it at
home, but the trouble is that
00:17:38.19\00:17:41.18
some of us are so sensitive
00:17:41.30\00:17:43.72
that it only takes something
with milk in it occasionally,
00:17:44.15\00:17:48.72
and you just
don't get what you get.
00:17:48.84\00:17:52.42
So what we have here at
the NEWSTART program at Weimar
00:17:52.57\00:17:56.03
is we have foods
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.69
without any dairy, without any
00:17:59.03\00:18:01.12
animal product,
without any fats,
00:18:01.13\00:18:03.33
unless they're nuts.
Well, without any added oil.
00:18:03.36\00:18:05.03
No, well, I mean the
fat is still in the fibers.
00:18:05.21\00:18:08.21
So we have the olives, we have
the avocados, we have the nuts,
00:18:08.30\00:18:12.72
we have the higher-fat seeds.
00:18:12.84\00:18:14.51
But it's still all
the way the Lord made it,
00:18:14.72\00:18:16.75
and so when we eat
it the way He did it,
00:18:16.87\00:18:18.84
then it's perfect.
When we start fiddling,
00:18:19.24\00:18:21.60
taking oil from this
one or sugar from that one,
00:18:21.81\00:18:24.60
and adding it to our foods,
00:18:24.84\00:18:26.12
it just isn't as
good as the way He did it.
00:18:26.13\00:18:27.87
So hence, whole foods...
00:18:28.57\00:18:30.66
Whole plant foods eaten whole.
00:18:30.87\00:18:32.87
And see, the thing is,
00:18:33.09\00:18:35.15
a lot of the guests this time
00:18:35.30\00:18:36.69
were just thrilled
at the cooking school.
00:18:36.70\00:18:38.66
And one of them was
a man, too. He said,
00:18:39.09\00:18:41.30
"That's one of the great
things about it. I love to cook.
00:18:41.48\00:18:44.00
I just thought this stuff
wasn't going to taste good."
00:18:44.18\00:18:46.87
And he said, "Almost
everything is perfect."
00:18:47.30\00:18:50.63
I see often the
women... Well, number one,
00:18:51.51\00:18:54.63
we get more women on
the program than we do men.
00:18:54.81\00:18:58.03
Is that because women
take better care of themselves?
00:18:58.36\00:19:01.51
You know, I think
that they're more,
00:19:02.30\00:19:04.27
probably more
interested in their health
00:19:04.39\00:19:06.36
when they get
to a certain stage,
00:19:06.37\00:19:07.87
and they don't
want to put up with
00:19:08.27\00:19:09.66
this kind of stuff
the rest of their life.
00:19:09.67\00:19:11.39
Men, you know, some
of us, some of them,
00:19:11.48\00:19:14.60
they just don't want to complain
or they won't say something
00:19:14.87\00:19:18.39
when they really should,
and they should be here because
00:19:18.63\00:19:21.21
we lose so many of
them to heart attacks.
00:19:21.57\00:19:23.36
Sometimes people that are here,
00:19:24.15\00:19:25.63
they hear that one of
their friends at home has
00:19:25.78\00:19:27.60
died of a heart
attack, and they just say,
00:19:27.61\00:19:29.36
"Oh, I wish I could
have had them here."
00:19:29.63\00:19:31.39
Yeah, if they
only would have just
00:19:31.60\00:19:32.78
talked to them
a little bit more.
00:19:32.79\00:19:34.00
And you know, aside from our
00:19:34.39\00:19:37.42
18-day program, we
have a 3-day program
00:19:37.87\00:19:41.42
that we have
throughout the country,
00:19:41.60\00:19:43.60
some of which you've been to.
00:19:43.78\00:19:46.18
Oh yeah, wonderful
things happen, too.
00:19:46.36\00:19:47.84
We call that our "Reversing
Diabetes and Obesity" program,
00:19:48.18\00:19:52.66
of which I am the
director currently.
00:19:53.00\00:19:55.24
That's wonderful.
And we finished a program
00:19:55.30\00:19:57.42
in North Carolina just recently.
00:19:57.63\00:19:59.60
And we've been making contact
00:20:00.00\00:20:01.54
with all the
people who attended.
00:20:01.55\00:20:03.33
That's
wonderful, that's wonderful.
00:20:03.54\00:20:05.54
The numbers are incredible, Doc.
00:20:05.55\00:20:07.33
Women who had
feet that were burning
00:20:07.42\00:20:10.27
for three years,
no longer are burning.
00:20:10.39\00:20:13.12
People who have had problems
00:20:13.36\00:20:15.33
walking are walking now.
00:20:15.42\00:20:17.09
Blood pressures are dropping.
00:20:17.10\00:20:19.00
Obesity is going away.
00:20:19.21\00:20:21.03
All these
wonderful things because of
00:20:21.24\00:20:23.48
the program we have here.
00:20:23.69\00:20:25.03
Yeah, and if you'll look up our
researcher, Dr. Milton G. Crane,
00:20:25.06\00:20:28.21
you'll find in
clinical nutrition
00:20:28.51\00:20:31.81
the proper study
that was done on that,
00:20:32.03\00:20:33.87
and it's wonderful.
00:20:33.88\00:20:34.87
Yeah.
00:20:35.06\00:20:36.09
Well Doc, I want
to thank you again
00:20:36.21\00:20:38.24
for joining us in our studio.
00:20:38.25\00:20:39.81
Well, it's my
pleasure to talk about this.
00:20:40.15\00:20:42.39
It's always enlightening to
talk to you, to say the least.
00:20:42.51\00:20:45.45
Thank you very much.
00:20:45.46\00:20:46.51
And I hope you'll join us again.
00:20:46.66\00:20:48.12
Yep. Always.
00:20:48.39\00:20:50.30
Folks, thank you for joining us.
00:20:50.54\00:20:52.54
Don't go away,
because in a couple of minutes
00:20:52.72\00:20:54.87
we're going to give you a tip
00:20:55.24\00:20:56.72
where you can
start your own program
00:20:56.73\00:20:58.60
right in your own
living room at home.
00:20:58.87\00:21:01.36
Hi. Welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:21:15.54\00:21:16.87
I'm Don Mackintosh.
We're glad you're with us,
00:21:16.88\00:21:18.69
and we're also glad that Dr.
Michael Orlich is with us today.
00:21:18.78\00:21:22.00
Doctor Mike,
we're glad you're here.
00:21:22.18\00:21:24.06
Thank you. Glad
to be here with you.
00:21:24.30\00:21:25.78
We're going to talk
today about sunlight,
00:21:25.84\00:21:28.06
but what qualifies you
to talk about sunlight?
00:21:28.15\00:21:30.69
What do you do as a physician?
00:21:30.72\00:21:31.81
Well, I'm trained as
a family practitioner,
00:21:32.15\00:21:35.39
and I've worked for
four years here at the
00:21:35.57\00:21:38.00
NEWSTART lifestyle center
00:21:38.01\00:21:40.18
in lifestyle medicine.
00:21:40.42\00:21:41.84
I'm currently
doing some additional
00:21:42.12\00:21:43.66
training in preventive medicine.
00:21:43.67\00:21:45.15
Wonderful. What about sunlight?
00:21:45.45\00:21:47.45
It's part of the
NEWSTART acronym.
00:21:47.51\00:21:49.54
We have nutrition,
exercise, water, sunlight,...
00:21:49.69\00:21:52.78
What about sunlight?
00:21:53.03\00:21:56.18
Why do we need it?
00:21:56.57\00:21:57.57
Where do we get it?
When should we have it?
00:21:57.58\00:21:58.78
All those kind of things.
00:21:58.79\00:21:59.78
You know, I remember when I
graduated from medical school,
00:21:59.84\00:22:03.09
in the graduation speech,
00:22:03.33\00:22:05.39
our classmate said that the only
thing she was really certain of
00:22:05.57\00:22:09.12
after four years
of medical school was,
00:22:09.42\00:22:11.78
Always wear sunscreen.
00:22:11.79\00:22:13.18
And lately the sun has been seen
00:22:14.15\00:22:16.45
as something
that's just harmful,
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.75
something that
tends to cause cancer.
00:22:19.00\00:22:21.48
But really, we're
starting to realize now
00:22:21.75\00:22:25.06
that sunlight is very,
very important for health,
00:22:25.27\00:22:28.09
and it's important for a
variety of aspects of it.
00:22:28.39\00:22:31.24
So, some people would
say one of the most things is
00:22:31.54\00:22:33.81
because you get vitamin D.
00:22:34.09\00:22:35.33
Is there anything to that?
00:22:35.34\00:22:36.33
Vitamin D is the most
critical aspect of sunlight.
00:22:36.42\00:22:39.39
There are other benefits,
00:22:39.54\00:22:40.66
like sunlight through your eyes
00:22:40.75\00:22:42.87
can help to
regulate your body clock,
00:22:43.18\00:22:45.51
help regulate your sleep cycles,
00:22:45.66\00:22:47.75
help prevent seasonal depression
or seasonal affective disorder.
00:22:47.87\00:22:52.03
But vitamin D is
synthesized in your skin
00:22:52.36\00:22:55.39
from cholesterol
that your body makes
00:22:55.57\00:22:57.84
when sunlight strikes your skin.
00:22:58.03\00:23:00.24
And it's this
vitamin D that's critical
00:23:00.36\00:23:02.39
to most of the
benefits of sunlight.
00:23:02.40\00:23:04.21
So tell me why it's critical.
00:23:04.51\00:23:06.75
What does it do?
Where does it do it?
00:23:06.76\00:23:08.30
Well, vitamin D
originally was thought
00:23:08.51\00:23:10.69
to only have to
do with bone health.
00:23:10.70\00:23:12.72
And they recognized that
00:23:13.06\00:23:14.51
vitamin D was an
essential vitamin
00:23:14.52\00:23:16.54
because it prevented rickets,
00:23:16.72\00:23:18.69
the curved bones
in young children.
00:23:19.03\00:23:22.24
And later it was realized that
00:23:22.42\00:23:24.12
vitamin D is critical
in preventing osteoporosis.
00:23:24.24\00:23:27.12
But they thought,
00:23:27.33\00:23:28.36
"Just a little
bit of vitamin D...
00:23:28.48\00:23:30.33
a little bit of vitamin D
could help prevent rickets."
00:23:30.48\00:23:33.00
But now we
realize that vitamin D is
00:23:33.01\00:23:35.48
critical to almost
every cell in your body.
00:23:35.57\00:23:38.21
It helps
regulate the cell cycle.
00:23:39.00\00:23:42.63
Cells grow and divide,
00:23:42.78\00:23:45.63
but they're supposed to
shut off at certain times
00:23:45.75\00:23:48.15
and stop growing and dividing.
00:23:48.30\00:23:49.60
When they fail to do this,
00:23:50.03\00:23:51.81
this is what leads to cancer.
00:23:52.09\00:23:54.30
Cancer is out-of-control
00:23:54.54\00:23:56.27
cell growth and division.
00:23:56.48\00:23:58.33
So if you don't get vitamin D
00:23:58.36\00:23:59.54
you may have a
higher risk for cancer.
00:23:59.55\00:24:01.12
Correct.
00:24:01.36\00:24:02.42
Deficiencies in vitamin
D-- And I should say that
00:24:02.78\00:24:05.60
vitamin D deficiency is one of
00:24:05.84\00:24:07.84
the most widespread deficiencies
00:24:07.85\00:24:10.06
in America.
00:24:10.21\00:24:11.45
Deficiencies in vitamin D
can lead to a higher risk of
00:24:11.75\00:24:15.66
a variety of types of cancer.
00:24:15.78\00:24:18.45
Such as?
00:24:18.72\00:24:19.78
Such as breast cancer,
colon cancer, prostate cancer.
00:24:20.12\00:24:24.06
There's an
increasing amount of evidence
00:24:24.36\00:24:26.48
and an exploding area
of research in vitamin D.
00:24:26.57\00:24:29.27
It's one of the
hottest areas in medicine.
00:24:29.36\00:24:31.39
And it seems to not
only lower your risk
00:24:31.60\00:24:33.87
potentially of these
major killer cancers,
00:24:34.09\00:24:36.78
but also of autoimmune diseases.
00:24:36.87\00:24:39.15
These would be diseases like
00:24:39.16\00:24:40.81
multiple sclerosis,
00:24:41.09\00:24:42.78
type one diabetes,
00:24:43.00\00:24:44.33
Crohn's disease.
00:24:44.63\00:24:46.03
They've known
for a long time that
00:24:46.15\00:24:48.18
the farther away you
get from the equator,
00:24:48.19\00:24:50.57
the farther north you get
in the northern hemisphere,
00:24:50.66\00:24:53.03
the higher the rates
of multiple sclerosis and
00:24:53.27\00:24:55.75
these types of diseases.
00:24:55.87\00:24:57.03
And it appears that
vitamin D is a critical aspect
00:24:57.15\00:25:00.51
to avoiding these diseases.
00:25:00.78\00:25:02.18
Now, the question I
have about this is--
00:25:02.51\00:25:04.57
you've convinced me--
00:25:04.72\00:25:06.33
when should we get the sunlight?
00:25:06.60\00:25:08.42
When should we go out?
00:25:08.54\00:25:09.69
Or can we just get it
in a pill form or a bottle?
00:25:09.78\00:25:11.72
Not the sunlight, but
you know, the vitamin D.
00:25:12.45\00:25:15.27
Right.
00:25:15.60\00:25:16.84
It's an important
thing to understand.
00:25:17.03\00:25:20.03
Typically you need to get sun
00:25:20.24\00:25:22.81
between 10 am and 2 pm.
00:25:22.87\00:25:25.72
During parts of the year
when the sun is strong enough--
00:25:26.00\00:25:29.24
And you don't need much.
00:25:29.36\00:25:30.66
You don't have to tan,
00:25:30.87\00:25:32.33
and you certainly
don't want to burn,
00:25:32.42\00:25:34.00
which can elevate
your risk of melanoma.
00:25:34.12\00:25:35.69
Is twenty minutes enough?
00:25:35.70\00:25:36.69
It can just be 5 or 10 minutes
on your legs and arms, but
00:25:36.70\00:25:40.69
in the wintertime in the north,
00:25:40.78\00:25:43.00
you can't make enough vitamin D.
00:25:43.21\00:25:45.30
So you probably do
need a supplement of
00:25:45.31\00:25:47.51
800 international units or
1000, during the winter months.
00:25:47.52\00:25:52.03
Well, we've been
talking with Dr. Michael Orlich.
00:25:52.66\00:25:54.33
We've been
talking about sunlight
00:25:54.48\00:25:56.00
as it relates to vitamin D,
00:25:56.01\00:25:57.15
and that's your tip
for a new start right now.
00:25:57.21\00:25:59.78
Go out today and
start walking in the sun.
00:26:00.30\00:26:02.33
If you're further north
and it's during the winter,
00:26:02.48\00:26:04.15
get some of those supplements
that he just mentioned.
00:26:04.24\00:26:06.21
If you want more
information about this,
00:26:06.48\00:26:08.60

00:26:13.51\00:26:14.84
we hope that you
have a NEW START now.

00:27:28.51\00:27:30.54
But I want to tell you,
00:27:30.87\00:27:32.33
people call us

00:27:32.39\00:27:34.12
all over the country,
00:27:34.15\00:27:35.36
and they ask us if we can help
00:27:35.51\00:27:37.09
with this, that,
or the other thing.
00:27:37.10\00:27:38.78
But as you saw with Tamara--
00:27:39.24\00:27:41.72
plantar fasciitis,
obesity, some depression--
