00:23 Hi friends, and welcome to another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:27 In our studio today we have a young lady, Krista Quillin, 00:31 who came to us about two weeks ago 00:34 and I want you to see a clip of when she first arrived, 00:37 can we look at that now? 00:39 Well I have Crohn's disease, 00:41 and I was diagnosed when I was 11 years old. 00:45 I can't really handle any kind of food, 00:48 I always get really sick, 00:49 and have severe stomach cramps. 00:52 It's just really time for a change, 00:55 and I want to feel better. 00:57 I chose the NEWSTART program because 01:00 a lot of my family and friends 01:03 thought it would be a really good idea. 01:06 I wanted to give it a try too, 01:09 because I thought a new lifestyle would be 01:11 a good choice for me to help me feel better 01:15 Well while I'm here I would like to 01:16 achieve the goal of feeling better, 01:19 being healthier and stronger, 01:21 and being able to go out with my friends 01:23 and doing things that normal people would do. 01:29 Welcome back friends, and in our studio-- 01:31 Krista, how are you dear? I'm good, how are you? 01:34 Good to see you. 01:36 What's happened now? You've been here two weeks 01:40 you came here a sick young lady, 01:43 knowing that something needed to change in your life. 01:47 Have you learned something that will 01:50 help you make these changes and get better? 01:54 Yes, I've learned a great deal of 01:58 very valuable information, 01:59 a whole new lifestyle that I really want to live by, 02:04 because I know that this is the 02:06 way that will make me feel better. 02:09 I actually had blood work done the first 02:12 week we were here, and it looked pretty bad, 02:14 and now I just got results back from a couple of days ago, 02:18 and the blood work looks a lot better, 02:20 so that's a very good positive. 02:22 So in two weeks you've seen some change? 02:24 Yes. 02:26 Now we have viewers out there 02:28 that have a similar problem as yours, 02:32 would you recommend that this would be 02:34 a program for them to come to get well? 02:37 Yes absolutely. 02:39 Obviously healing-- it's going to take some time, 02:41 you're not going to 02:42 feel completely better in two weeks, 02:45 but the lifestyle is definitely a positive thing. 02:50 It's looking up for me, 02:53 I think it would be great for anyone, 02:55 even if you're completely healthy 02:57 it would be a good thing to extend your life and everything. 03:04 I'm glad you mention that because we're 03:06 always talking to people about sickness 03:09 and if you got this and that and the other thing, 03:11 But if you're perfectly healthy you could 03:12 come here and make a vacation out of it, 03:14 do you think you have been on a vacation here? 03:17 Yes, definitely, when you cook you don't have to clean, 03:21 you get massages and hydro, that nice. 03:26 What other treatments did you have while you were here? 03:29 Well I've had the massages every day 03:33 and the hydro, with hot and cold packs on my 03:38 back to make my blood circulation flow a lot better. 03:44 The doctors have been wonderful, 03:47 I go see them and the exercise counselor, 03:52 the nutritionist is wonderful, everyone is so wonderful. 03:56 The chaplain, they all say they are praying for me, 04:00 it's really helped a lot. 04:03 It's quite a prayer group we got here, isn't it? 04:06 Yes definitely, it's wonderful to have people 04:08 pray with you when you go to an appointment, 04:11 or tell you that they are praying for you. 04:14 Now your doctor is Dr. Ing? Yes. 04:16 Right ok, we're going to have him on the set in a little bit. 04:20 But you know the viewers. . . 04:22 they want to know what we do here 04:26 like how do people get well? 04:27 We hear people reversing diabetes, 04:30 dealing with Crohn's and this kind of problem, 04:32 and that kind of problem, 04:33 what do you do all day? 04:37 Well I wake up early in the morning, 04:40 - About what time? 04:42 5:45 is when the bell rings, 04:45 - They come by with this "ding, ding"? 04:47 Yes, so that's early, and then 04:49 six o-clock it's time to go out and stretch, 04:52 sometimes we go outside but if it's too cold we stay inside, 04:56 and then time for breakfast at six forty-five, 05:00 which you know you have to adjust to all this 05:03 because a lot of people like to sleep in, 05:05 and then there's a fresh start which is like. . . 05:11 the chaplain gives a devotional, 05:14 and tells stories and really gets you motivated. 05:19 And then lunch and appointments and dinner, and all that stuff. 05:25 So between lunch and dinner, we have? 05:29 Some doctor appointments, or-- 05:31 Or between breakfast and lunch 05:33 there's also appointments like hydro 05:37 massage and stuff like that. 05:39 Now what about lectures? 05:40 What about these lectures that you go to 05:43 and the doctors, or Mrs. Ing might lecture you on 05:48 various subject matter. 05:50 How many of those do you go to in a day? 05:53 Two, there's one before dinner, 05:56 and then there's one at seven o-clock after dinner. 06:00 So none in the morning? No, non of the lectures. 06:04 But the lectures were very helpful I thought, 06:07 they really get you thinking 06:10 about food and what's healthy, 06:13 exercise, just all different learning experiences. 06:18 Now I know that you brought your mother with you, 06:21 and she's your chaperone or your companion as they say. 06:27 Has that been a good experience having here here? 06:30 Did she kind of encourage you on the way, 06:32 and has she been your coach? 06:34 Yes, definitely, I'm so thankful that she came with me, 06:39 she's like my best friend, 06:41 I loved having her here. 06:43 And she loves when she sees positive changes in me, 06:48 it makes her feel happy too. 06:50 So it's wonderful for her to see that, 06:52 and it's a good learning experience for her as well. 06:55 She has, I'm sure gained a lot of knowledge about lifestyle, 07:00 has she taken on this lifestyle as well? 07:03 Oh yes, definitely when we go home 07:07 she's going to do the same thing I do. 07:10 Has she been able to keep up with 07:12 you on the trails and walk with you? 07:14 Yes she's the one that always motivates me. 07:16 I have a hard time going out in the cold, 07:20 right now it's chilly out, 07:22 she gets me motivated to go. 07:24 How many pounds did she lose? 07:26 About six or eight, something like that, 07:29 and she was a companion, it wasn't her. 07:33 It wasn't really her doing it, but somehow it rubbed off! 07:37 Well that's a miracle in itself. 07:39 So what are you going to do when you get home? 07:42 What's next for you? 07:45 Well I'm going to choose this lifestyle, 07:50 I might not wake up at five-thirty! 07:54 But I still think getting up early 07:57 and following to optimal health as much as I can, 08:03 and walk, 08:05 you know cook for myself, and do all the things 08:08 that I've learned here, is what I'll do at home. 08:12 Now do you have a job waiting for you at home? 08:15 Not yet, I'm going to start going 08:17 back to school probably in the spring, 08:20 so that's coming up, and then 08:23 if I feel well enough by then I'll 08:25 probably add a job in, it just depends. 08:28 Ok, alright. 08:31 Your Dr. Ing, what does Dr. Ing as far as your treadmill test 08:37 he gave you the treadmill test right? 08:39 -Yes 08:40 How did you do in comparison from the first and the second? 08:44 Well actually I only did the first one. 08:47 Oh you did? Yes because that 08:49 really doesn't apply to the Crohn's area of me. 08:54 But they usually like to wire 08:55 people up and see how they're doing. 08:56 How did you do on the first one? 08:58 I did really great actually. You walked what, how long? 09:02 Ten minutes. 09:03 Oh, so you win! Yeah! 09:06 But you're a very young lady, how old are you may I ask? 09:09 I'm nineteen. - You're nineteen. 09:12 Ok, so that's probably why they didn't do that. 09:14 Yes. 09:16 But even so, I'm glad you had that experience. 09:21 I was a little concerned about you when I saw you a week ago, 09:24 you weren't doing real well, 09:26 so I know it's been a uphill battle, 09:29 and we will continue to pray for you all of us here on staff, 09:34 Is there any last minute thing you'd like to add? 09:38 I just think it's a wonderful facility here, and program, 09:43 I think the things I've learned 09:47 is just gold, it's just wonderful. 09:50 And you really learn a lot about yourself, 09:54 you learn the power of God, you really see it here, 09:57 through everybody you really see God, 10:00 and I think that's a wonderful thing. 10:02 Wonderful, praise God. 10:04 Krista, thank you so much for joining us on the set, 10:07 - Thank you. 10:08 and I know you're going to continue to do well. 10:11 Folks don't go away because in a few 10:14 minutes we're going to be with Dr. Ing. 10:18 Well, you've done very well. 10:26 Do you have diabetes, 10:27 heart disease, high blood pressure, 10:30 or do you weigh too much? 10:32 Hi, my name is Dr. Ing, and I'd like to tell you 10:35 about our 18-day NEWSTART lifestyle program. 10:38 It includes a comprehensive medical 10:40 evaluation with laboratory studies and an 10:43 exercise stress test, 10:45 physician consultations, 10:47 culinary school, 10:49 and an opportunity to walk on beautiful 10:51 trails in the foothills of the Sierras. 10:56 Your health is one of the most 10:57 important things that you have. Don't wait. 11:00 Give us a call. 11:05 Or visit our website. 11:24 Welcome back friends, and in our 11:26 studio as I promised, is Dr. Clarence Ing. 11:28 How are you Doctor? It's great to be here Ron. 11:30 It's good to see you. It's a beautiful day. 11:32 It's a beautiful day isn't it. 11:34 I want to talk about this young lady 11:36 that we just interviewed in our studio, 11:39 And tell us a little about her condition, 11:42 I know it's called Crohn's disease, 11:46 or inflammation of the intestines, 11:48 but more specifically, what is she dealing with here? 11:52 Well, she's dealing with... her primary symptoms are just 11:56 a lot of abdominal pain and upset, 12:00 she's just uncomfortable and in a lot of pain, 12:04 and this goes on for much of the day 12:07 And she tries different things, eating, 12:09 and the foods or something 12:11 upsets her so it aggravates the pain. 12:14 And she's had this condition for 12:16 what seven or eight years maybe longer, 12:20 she's nineteen, and she's a very wonderful individual, 12:24 but because of her disease and her problems 12:30 she looks more like she's eleven or twelve years old, 12:32 because she's very small, she's short 12:38 And just because everything that's happened to her. 12:41 Her mom tells us that they're a meat and potatoes type family, 12:45 would this add to the condition? would it make it worse? 12:50 Or would a lacto or vegan diet be even better? 12:57 Well in our experience with working with patients like this, 13:00 with Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, 13:02 and other problems like this, 13:04 we have found that they respond very well 13:08 to the type of program that we have here at NEWSTART. 13:12 And what we are dealing with-- 13:14 or what we transition the patients to, 13:16 the come from whatever they've been doing, 13:19 and they come here and we get them on 13:22 what we call a whole plant food diet. 13:25 In fact, as we work with the patients I said, 13:27 You need some nutritional guidelines, 13:30 and there's five words that summarize this very nicely, 13:34 and those words are Whole Plant Foods Eaten Whole. 13:40 W P F E W, very simple. 13:44 So what that means Doctor if I may interrupt for a moment, 13:47 that means that anything that grows in the ground, 13:50 you eat it like it comes out of the ground, cooked or not? 13:54 Well they can be cooked and so on, 13:57 now there still are some plants that 13:59 grow that you really don't want to eat! 14:01 You know there's poisonous plants, 14:03 but of the edible plants, 14:05 Of the edible! I should 14:06 have prefaced it with the edible. 14:08 Of the edible plants, yes we 14:11 prefer that people eat plant foods. 14:14 Another thing we use to help them understand is that 14:19 if it has a mother or a face you shouldn't eat it! 14:24 A mother or a face, or if it 14:26 comes from a mother or-- I got it. 14:28 See and another one is 14:32 your stomach is not a graveyard for dead animals! 14:35 See if it's dead you really don't want to eat it! 14:39 When you say it like that I can't 14:41 imagine why anyone would want to eat animal, 14:44 you know the graveyard for dead animals just, eww. 14:47 Well that's right, in fact one 14:49 of our guests called and told us, 14:51 I went back home and was 14:53 having dinner with my grandchildren, 14:58 and chicken was on the menu, 15:00 now she says, I wasn't going to eat that, but my grandson 15:05 was talking and he says, Grandma, we're having chicken 15:09 and Grandma says to her grandson, 15:12 you know what chicken is? you know what that is? 15:15 She says, that's dead chicken. 15:18 And the little boy looked at his mama and said, 15:21 Is that right? Is that dead chicken? 15:23 And Mama says, That's right. He said I don't want any. 15:30 So another way we say it, Do you want 15:33 your protein first hand or second hand? 15:36 Do you want pre-used protein? 15:39 If you do you can get it in fish, 15:42 and chicken, beef, and lamb. 15:45 That's because these animals eat that plant? 15:48 Yes, that's because they eat the plants, 15:50 that's their primary source of protein. 15:51 And the humans eat the animal 15:53 rather than the plant, typically. 15:54 That's right, right. 15:55 And you know when you get patients with these problems 15:58 and you transition them to a plant based diet, along with 16:03 the nutritional counseling which is available here, 16:06 and careful monitoring and the other things, 16:09 it's remarkable how well they do. 16:11 And Krista is a prime example of that. 16:14 Now what specifically do we do with our guests, 16:19 I mean I know each on is individual but with Krista, 16:23 anything in particular that you did for her 16:27 that perhaps you wouldn't have done for a 16:30 guest with diabetes or high blood pressure? 16:33 Well, there's probably a little more 16:35 emphasis on nutrition, food selections. 16:38 We find that large varieties of food 16:43 for a person with gastro-intestinal 16:45 problems as Krista had 16:46 it's better to cut those down to maybe 16:49 two or three types of food at one time. 16:52 This and also encouraging them to avoid irritating spices like 16:59 chili peppers and tabasco sauce, and things like this, 17:03 and you know just regular 17:04 pepper that people put on their food. 17:06 But we don't serve that here. 17:08 No, no, we don't serve that here, 17:10 but they need to know that when they return home, 17:12 In fact as we were talking to Krista, 17:15 you know, my wife is a 17:17 dietician was talking to Krista today. 17:18 We mentioned that you know, 17:20 Krista we know you're feeling better 17:23 and when you return to your home, 17:26 and as you're feeling better we don't want 17:28 you to start to add some of these things back, 17:31 you know, start to use some spices that are 17:33 going to be irritating, or doing other things, 17:36 because then you will have a relapse. 17:39 And we've seen this time and time again from 17:41 people we've heard they're doing very very well, 17:44 they say, Well I'm feeling so well I just want to 17:47 go back and try something like this. 17:49 And I said you really need to stay 17:51 away from that totally and completely, 17:52 if you want to allow your 17:54 gastro-intestinal tract to heal up completely. 17:57 And it takes time because their 17:59 gastro-intestinal tract has been severely inflamed, 18:03 and many of the medications are aimed at 18:06 cutting down and suppressing the inflammation. 18:10 And it just takes time with this 18:12 type of program and this approach 18:14 and when it does take place, 18:18 they are so much happier and pain free. 18:20 In fact we had an individual in one of our previous programs, 18:24 and near the end of the program, he said, You know what? 18:28 Everyday before I would wake up in pain, 18:30 and I would have pain almost all day long, 18:33 and I would be in bed, I couldn't get 18:35 out of bed because I was so uncomfortable. 18:37 But he said, Today 18:40 I have almost no pain. 18:43 And that hasn't been like that for years. 18:46 And a day or two later he said, I don't have any at all! 18:49 And he was just overjoyed. 18:52 And I've called him since, 18:53 you know, contact by email and phone, 18:56 he continues to do well, as long as he 18:58 continues to follow the program that has been outlined. 19:02 Now Krista's mother is here, and she's also lost pounds. 19:05 She's been kind of a companion or an observer 19:09 and she tells us that when they get home they're 19:13 cleaning out the refrigerator and the cupboards 19:16 they're really on this program a hundred percent, 19:19 so I think that's a blessing that mom came here. 19:22 Did you have an opportunity to visit with her as well? 19:25 Oh yes, because many times she would come in with Krista, 19:28 and we would talk together, 19:29 and she's very supportive, 19:31 and it's been a real challenge to the family 19:34 because they've had to shepherd and nurture her. 19:38 And it makes me sad to see someone like this 19:42 so young with so much life ahead to be in so much misery. 19:48 Is there anything you can say to our viewers 19:51 that might help those who have that condition? 19:55 Well you know, if you're willing to transition 19:59 to a totally plant based diet, 20:01 that's a very important first step. 20:03 And then you probably need to cut down on 20:07 how many different varieties of food you eat at one time, 20:11 and also you need to eliminate 20:13 irritating spices and things like that. 20:17 Dr. Ing, we're running out of time, 20:19 I want to thank you for joining us in our studio 20:22 God bless you in the work that 20:23 you do here at the NEWSTART program. 20:26 And folks thank you for joining us, 20:28 but don't leave just yet 20:29 because we have an important message for you in a moment. 20:47 Greetings and welcome, thank you for joining us today. 20:49 Today we have Dr. DeRose. 20:50 Dr. DeRose, it's a pleasure to have you here. 20:53 Great to be with you again Cathy. 20:54 Well good, what do you have to share with us today? 20:56 I know something exciting. 20:57 Well it is, one of my favorite topics 20:59 when we talk about total health, 21:02 is something called Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor. 21:06 Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor. 21:08 Wow - I did it! 21:09 You must have heard of that before. 21:11 This is the first time, I'm excited 21:12 to hear what you got to say though. 21:14 Ok, well sometimes we just abbreviate it BDNF. 21:16 - BDNF, ok that's easier. 21:18 Ok, but for those who might like to just 21:21 get up to speed with why we call it 21:23 Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, 21:25 I'll explain that. 21:27 Brain derived, obviously means 21:28 this compound comes from the brain. 21:31 So your brain makes it, it's brain derived. 21:33 It's a Neurotrophic factor, 21:36 neuro refers to nerve cells, trophic refers to growth. 21:41 So this is a naturally occurring brain growth factor. 21:43 Your brain makes it. 21:45 But we don't all have the same levels of BDNF, 21:48 and scientists at this point do not know any way 21:53 to give you BDNF by mouth or some other way, 21:56 and increase it in your brain. 21:59 So we've got to find some other way if we want to boost 22:02 our levels of this compound, because it's very exciting. 22:05 Research is telling us if we have higher BDNF levels, 22:09 we have lower rates of stroke, 22:12 we have lower rates of Alzheimer's disease, 22:15 lower rates of Parkinson's, 22:18 lower rates of depression. 22:21 So you can see why this would be an exciting compound, 22:23 and there's a lot going on in the research community, 22:26 So we're beginning to unfold some of the things 22:30 that actually cause BDNF levels to 22:32 either rise or fall in the brain. 22:34 Are you interested in any of this? 22:35 Oh yes, lets hear what you've got to share, this is exciting. 22:38 One of the first ones, 22:40 that actually raises BDNF levels is fasting. 22:45 Really? Well lets explain why that is. 22:47 Ok, well why it is, researchers think 22:51 it has to do with fasting 22:53 being a mild stresser to the brain. 22:56 So when you're not eating puts a mild stress on the brain, 23:01 and that causes the brain cells to 23:03 put out this nerve growth factor. 23:06 What happens is we look at 23:08 animal research, this is where we've 23:10 worked this out the most comprehensively, 23:14 I'm not an animal researcher, 23:15 I'm kind of speaking generically as me 23:18 being part of the medical research community. 23:21 They actually find that if you cut back, 23:24 caloric intake, whether it be a fast 23:27 or just decreasing meal intake, 23:30 you actually can raise levels of this compound. 23:32 And it doesn't take a lot, 20-30 percent 23:35 decrease in caloric intake can make a significant difference. 23:38 Now Cathy, you may have heard this before, but if you look 23:42 at longevity research in animals, 23:45 are you aware of one of the most 23:46 consistent factors known to increase longevity? 23:49 No. 23:50 It is actually fasting. - Really? 23:52 Decrease caloric intake. 23:53 So like skipping one meal, two meals? 23:55 What is the definition of fasting? 23:56 Well let me put it this way, we talk about cutting back, 23:59 if you give an animal 20 24:02 percent less calories than it's peer, 24:05 that animal who's getting less on a daily basis, 24:08 will tend to live about 20 percent longer. 24:11 Cut back the calories 30 percent, 24:14 how much longer do you think it lives? 24:15 Oh, not much-- twice the amount? 24:17 30 percent longer. - Oh 30 percent longer. 24:19 It's almost a direct relationship, 24:20 cut back the calories 35 percent 24:22 lives 35 percent longer. 24:24 Now of course, you can't cut the calories back 99 percent! 24:28 You know there's a point of diminishing returns. 24:31 But the interesting thing is that it almost seems 24:34 like in this world of sin, we're programed if you will, 24:39 to process a certain amount of food an then die, 24:42 so the more we eat, 24:44 the sooner we die. 24:45 Now some of us are thinner than others, 24:48 and some people may say well That's not fair 24:50 you can eat more food and not gain weight. 24:52 Well it doesn't work that way when it comes to BDNF. 24:55 Those who are being more abstemious, 24:57 cutting back more 24:59 seem to have higher BDNF levels. 25:01 But it isn't only watching your food intake 25:04 physical exercise also boosts 25:06 levels of this brain protective compound. 25:09 - Wow, and what about foods? Different types of foods? 25:12 Well I haven't seen anything in the literature 25:14 that has really nailed down any specific foods, 25:17 There is one thing that is sometimes classed 25:20 with diet, and that is alcohol, alcoholic beverages, 25:23 they actually seem to disrupt neurotrophic levels. 25:27 Instead of enhancing these natural brain compounds, 25:31 they raise them, some of them in certain 25:33 parts of the brain, depress them in others, 25:36 and there's a whole family of these things, not just BDNF. 25:39 So alcohol seems to be undesirable as 25:41 far as the natural balance of the brain, 25:43 but as far as other 25:45 nutrients I haven't seen details. 25:46 But one last thing I should mention, 25:48 that is helpful for this compound and it is 25:51 environmental enrichment, or mental challenge. 25:54 - Ok that is so amazing. So mental challenge being? 25:57 Well am I challenging you right now? 25:59 Am I kind of stretching you? - Yes! 26:00 Well see you're raising your BDNF levels, 26:02 - Oh good! 26:04 The way you're trying to keep on your toes 26:05 here as I'm throwing new terms out at you! 26:07 So you can say, Look, if nothing else was accomplished 26:10 in our visit, at least your BDNF levels likely rose! 26:15 Oh that's exciting. For those of you who 26:17 would like to also have your BDNF levels increased 26:21 then please visit our website at: 26:23 Thank you for joining us. 26:32 Modern views of evolution stem all the way 26:35 back to theories developed in the mid 1800s. 26:38 Out of the same time period came ideas that shape 26:41 our educational system today. 26:44 The common school movement for example, 26:46 saw schools more like a factory, 26:48 with students blindly memorizing 26:50 instruction rather than thinking for themselves. 26:54 Their curriculum was rigid and theoretical, 26:57 instead of being flexible and practical, 26:59 It was designed to conform the individual 27:02 into a specific ideological mold, 27:05 that fit the needs of a old industrial era, long since past. 27:10 Just like our view of creation in six literal days, 27:13 we believe the Bible contains an educational blueprint 27:18 radically different from the one we see now. 27:33 Well friends that's it for today, 27:36 but I want to leave you with a thought, 27:38 as Paul writes to the Corinthians, 27:40 he says, Do you not know that your body is the temple 27:43 of the holy spirit and that you are bought with a price? 27:47 Therefore glorify God in your body, 27:50 and in your spirit which are God's. 27:53 Friends I know those of you who are sick, 27:56 or you know someone who's sick, 27:58 pick up the phone and give us a call, |
