Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:00:24.06\00:00:27.42
In our studio today
we have Milton Buehner.
00:00:27.57\00:00:30.57
And before we interview him,
00:00:30.84\00:00:32.87
I'd like you to watch a
clip when he first arrived.
00:00:32.88\00:00:35.84
Part of my life
has been made up of
00:00:37.75\00:00:40.69
a series of compulsive behaviors
00:00:40.78\00:00:45.78
that I believe I gravitated to
00:00:46.24\00:00:51.39
because of the
circumstances in my life.
00:00:51.45\00:00:54.15
I went through alcohol
00:00:54.30\00:00:56.84
and found some help through AA.
00:00:57.15\00:01:03.18
The thing that I consider
most important right now is
00:01:04.09\00:01:07.54
working on the one
remaining behavior,
00:01:07.87\00:01:11.72
and that is food and
my addiction to food.
00:01:11.73\00:01:16.72
Well, I would like to walk
away from this program with
00:01:17.54\00:01:23.03
a closer
relationship with the Lord
00:01:23.51\00:01:26.63
and primarily with
the understanding that
00:01:26.87\00:01:30.36
my body, according to Scripture,
00:01:30.51\00:01:34.06
is the temple
of the Holy Spirit,
00:01:34.21\00:01:36.63
and I really would like to
have it cleaned up to the extent
00:01:37.03\00:01:40.30
where I'd be proud
to have Him inhabit
00:01:40.31\00:01:43.39
this carcass of mine.
00:01:43.42\00:01:45.42
Welcome back, friends,
and in our studio is Milton.
00:01:46.66\00:01:50.33
How are you, sir?
- Good, thank you.
00:01:50.63\00:01:52.36
Good to see you.
00:01:52.37\00:01:53.60
Now you look different to me,
00:01:53.63\00:01:55.24
and I'm sure you
do to our viewers,
00:01:55.25\00:01:58.51
So tell us about
what has happened.
00:01:58.63\00:02:01.30
Well, part of the difference
you might see in me is that I'm
00:02:01.75\00:02:05.27
21 pounds lighter than I was.
00:02:05.60\00:02:07.78
Twenty-one pounds lighter!
00:02:07.79\00:02:09.15
It shows in your
face, by the way.
00:02:09.16\00:02:10.69
I can see that. - Thank you.
00:02:10.75\00:02:12.39
And what else has transpired?
00:02:12.45\00:02:15.12
You've been here
16 or 17 days, right?
00:02:15.30\00:02:19.57
And you've lost
21 pounds? - Right.
00:02:19.78\00:02:22.54
That's incredible.
00:02:22.57\00:02:23.87
You're probably going to
lose another pound or two
00:02:24.24\00:02:26.36
except for tonight's dinner.
00:02:26.37\00:02:28.39
But what else has
happened? Please tell us.
00:02:28.66\00:02:30.69
Well, in the process
of getting to the point
00:02:31.15\00:02:33.75
of losing that kind of weight,
00:02:33.76\00:02:35.48
the major shift that
I was totally unaware of
00:02:35.75\00:02:40.81
was that I could
end up with a very small
00:02:40.82\00:02:45.57
amount of food
providing satisfaction
00:02:45.63\00:02:48.81
if I would eat the
proper foods instead of
00:02:49.18\00:02:52.36
the stuff that
I've grown up with
00:02:52.60\00:02:54.57
since the time I was a child.
00:02:54.58\00:02:56.27
So why do you think that is so?
00:02:56.57\00:02:58.63
What is your body
getting from the proper food
00:02:59.03\00:03:02.75
as opposed to the foods that
we probably both used to eat?
00:03:02.84\00:03:07.33
Well, what it's getting
now obviously are the nutrients
00:03:07.81\00:03:12.24
that have an awful lot
to do with the appetite.
00:03:12.42\00:03:16.36
I believe my body was
crying out for more food
00:03:16.42\00:03:19.87
because it was lacking
the nutrients that are then
00:03:20.06\00:03:23.39
embedded in this program,
00:03:23.54\00:03:25.33
in the food that we
eat in this program.
00:03:25.42\00:03:28.12
So I think that's the...
00:03:28.54\00:03:30.09
And to my great satisfaction
00:03:30.21\00:03:33.72
is not to end up
with this craving hunger
00:03:34.06\00:03:38.03
that I've had
for all these years.
00:03:38.09\00:03:40.36
So I find myself...
00:03:40.66\00:03:42.84
really, almost
forcing myself to eat.
00:03:43.24\00:03:46.78
And I'm eating now, and
have been since I got here,
00:03:47.27\00:03:50.57
two meals a day
instead of three.
00:03:50.60\00:03:52.36
So you're
skipping the evening meal?
00:03:52.48\00:03:54.87
Is that correct?
- Yes, that's right.
00:03:54.88\00:03:56.54
So I've learned, an awful lot of
this has to do with education--
00:03:57.06\00:04:01.15
truly good education from
people who specialize in that,
00:04:01.33\00:04:05.21
and that's the
only thing they do.
00:04:05.30\00:04:07.78
And it's great to have
that input as opposed to
00:04:08.03\00:04:12.06
what the world has
been offering me, which is
00:04:12.30\00:04:15.30
junk food and fast food
00:04:15.57\00:04:18.39
and the wrong kinds of food.
00:04:18.51\00:04:21.03
It's a real eye-opening,
wonderful experience.
00:04:21.21\00:04:24.72
Do you miss
anything about the food
00:04:24.84\00:04:27.78
that you used to eat,
compared to your new foods?
00:04:27.84\00:04:34.12
Well you know, I've thought
about them from time to time,
00:04:34.33\00:04:38.60
but since I'm not
suffering from hunger,
00:04:38.61\00:04:43.36
there's no real
strong urge to imbibe
00:04:43.60\00:04:48.30
in other foods of any kind.
00:04:48.51\00:04:50.81
Now you said in
your first interview,
00:04:51.24\00:04:53.63
"...a walk with the Lord,"
or something to the effect that
00:04:54.39\00:04:59.18
your body being a temple
for the Holy Spirit to dwell.
00:04:59.48\00:05:03.24
Well, and I do. I mean...
00:05:04.18\00:05:06.72
Going back to that first
conversation that we had...
00:05:06.73\00:05:10.39
I have read over and over about
00:05:12.09\00:05:14.30
my body being the
temple of the Holy Spirit,
00:05:14.36\00:05:16.63
and it's something
that in my own strength
00:05:16.72\00:05:20.03
I don't believe
I could get there.
00:05:20.15\00:05:22.30
I tried to do
it with will power,
00:05:22.60\00:05:24.84
but that runs short for me.
00:05:25.15\00:05:27.78
The compulsion
to eat was so strong
00:05:28.12\00:05:30.81
that I would continue
to try to satisfy those
00:05:31.00\00:05:35.27
hungers with the
food that I best know.
00:05:35.45\00:05:39.18
And it just does
not and will not...
00:05:39.36\00:05:42.24
and I believe
today that it cannot
00:05:42.25\00:05:44.45
satisfy, no matter what
the volume is that I consumed.
00:05:44.48\00:05:48.30
Wonderful.
00:05:48.84\00:05:50.42
Now tell us what else
you've gone though here.
00:05:50.60\00:05:53.63
What did you like
about the program?
00:05:53.75\00:05:57.27
Tell us, tell the viewers
about what you liked about it.
00:05:57.33\00:06:00.36
Well, I think the
educational part is awesome,
00:06:02.21\00:06:06.39
but I also believe that
the spiritual side of this,
00:06:06.42\00:06:12.15
that this program,
in my way of saying it,
00:06:12.21\00:06:16.24
is a holistic program in that
00:06:16.27\00:06:18.48
it doesn't try to separate
the body from the spirit
00:06:18.54\00:06:22.57
or the spirit from the body,
00:06:23.24\00:06:25.24
but that it ministers to both.
00:06:25.45\00:06:27.39
And I, as I think about that,
00:06:27.51\00:06:29.60
I believe that's
what Jesus did. - Yes.
00:06:29.72\00:06:32.48
Everything I read about Him,
00:06:32.81\00:06:35.75
He ministered to the
needs of people first,
00:06:35.76\00:06:38.51
and then He taught them. - Yes.
00:06:38.60\00:06:40.33
And I believe that happens here.
00:06:40.51\00:06:42.45
So it healed them first.
00:06:42.48\00:06:44.03
- Heals them first. Yes.
00:06:44.12\00:06:45.42
How have you been healed?
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.30
Tell us a little bit about
00:06:47.36\00:06:49.06
the program that
you've gone through.
00:06:49.07\00:06:51.33
I know you've had
some massage therapy
00:06:51.54\00:06:54.66
and hydrotherapy. I
know that first-hand.
00:06:54.78\00:06:57.75
Well, that is quite an
experience, the hydrotherapy.
00:06:58.39\00:07:02.00
I'd never experienced
anything like that before.
00:07:02.12\00:07:05.33
My favorite masseuse
00:07:05.66\00:07:09.57
turned the temperature up to
somewhere around 117 degrees,
00:07:09.81\00:07:14.33
and then he brought it
down to 56 or 58 degrees.
00:07:14.42\00:07:19.45
And this was a unique
experience, to say the least!
00:07:19.69\00:07:24.33
But understanding what
it does in the blood system
00:07:24.45\00:07:28.27
is what's amazing --
00:07:28.30\00:07:29.84
that it expands them and
allows the blood to flow,
00:07:29.87\00:07:33.81
and then they contract,
and then again back and forth.
00:07:33.82\00:07:38.48
I don't know what
you call that process,
00:07:39.00\00:07:41.87
but it's quite an experience.
00:07:41.88\00:07:43.33
Contrasting showers, yes.
00:07:43.34\00:07:45.39
Yes, but you come out --
I am out of there feeling
00:07:45.40\00:07:48.09
really great. It
was a great experience,
00:07:48.24\00:07:51.51
from the tip of my
toes to the top of my head.
00:07:51.60\00:07:54.72
çlaughterÑ
00:07:54.73\00:07:56.66
Now, what about the walking?
00:07:57.03\00:07:58.75
When you got here,
were you about to walk
00:07:58.76\00:08:01.27
around the Half-Mile Loop?
00:08:01.30\00:08:02.81
I could walk around
the Half-Mile Loop, but
00:08:03.21\00:08:07.12
the walking that I had
done prior to coming here
00:08:07.66\00:08:11.75
was on a treadmill.
00:08:11.76\00:08:13.21
And it's not quite
the same as walking at,
00:08:13.27\00:08:16.03
starting at
2,000-foot elevation and then
00:08:16.12\00:08:18.75
walking up and down hills,
00:08:18.81\00:08:20.81
and a half-mile trip, so...
00:08:20.82\00:08:23.33
Moved from
walking 2 miles a day to,
00:08:23.42\00:08:27.30
I think the best I did was 8.
00:08:27.31\00:08:29.87
And I think I
probably averaged 6 or better.
00:08:30.15\00:08:33.39
So you're walking
8 miles in one day?
00:08:33.51\00:08:35.66
Yes. - That's incredible.
00:08:35.67\00:08:37.66
That's incredible.
00:08:37.84\00:08:39.24
What about, you had
cooking schools, I know that.
00:08:39.25\00:08:42.24
Did you enjoy
the cooking schools?
00:08:42.36\00:08:44.81
I did. I did enjoy them.
00:08:44.82\00:08:46.60
A lot of the
names of the products
00:08:47.00\00:08:50.36
I'd never heard
before in my life,
00:08:50.45\00:08:53.03
so the transition from
what I had been eating to
00:08:53.21\00:08:57.06
the new, were all
new flavors to me.
00:08:57.21\00:09:00.30
So that was quite an
experience in itself.
00:09:00.33\00:09:03.69
And your doctor --
Which doctor do you have?
00:09:04.15\00:09:06.63
Doctor Ing. - Doctor Ing.
00:09:06.78\00:09:08.42
And how did Doctor
Ing see that you fared
00:09:08.43\00:09:12.09
through the program,
00:09:12.21\00:09:13.78
through the blood draws
that-- You've had two now.
00:09:14.69\00:09:17.42
and I know your numbers
have changed a little bit.
00:09:17.54\00:09:20.24
How is Doctor Ing
seeing your results?
00:09:20.33\00:09:23.21
Well, I just finished
with an appointment with him
00:09:23.39\00:09:26.87
before I leave Weimar,
00:09:26.88\00:09:29.15
and he was very encouraged
about what's happened in me.
00:09:29.33\00:09:34.09
And in addition to
other things, the counts,
00:09:34.27\00:09:38.27
he was encouraged
by the weight loss.
00:09:38.28\00:09:41.39
- And of course
I was, obviously.
00:09:42.12\00:09:44.03
Twenty-one
pounds is a significant
00:09:44.15\00:09:46.84
amount of weight
to lose in 18 days.
00:09:46.85\00:09:49.66
And by the way,
that's the amount I lost
00:09:49.72\00:09:51.66
when I came through the program.
00:09:51.69\00:09:53.54
Twenty-one,
twenty-two -- right in there.
00:09:53.66\00:09:56.39
So, you're on your way.
00:09:56.66\00:09:58.42
I know we're going to be
in contact with one another,
00:09:58.43\00:10:01.00
as you promised.
00:10:01.21\00:10:02.51
And I want to thank you
for joining us on our program.
00:10:02.54\00:10:06.00
- Been my pleasure.
00:10:06.60\00:10:08.27
- God bless you. Thank you.
00:10:08.28\00:10:10.12
Folks, there's an
interview with Milton,
00:10:10.42\00:10:13.51
but don't go away,
00:10:13.75\00:10:15.06
because Doctor Ing's
going to join us in a moment.
00:10:15.07\00:10:17.63
and he's going to be talking
about some of his progress.
00:10:17.87\00:10:21.15
Well, you've done very well.
00:10:22.33\00:10:24.06
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:30.39\00:10:31.66
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:31.67\00:10:33.75
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:34.30\00:10:35.60
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:36.48\00:10:39.27
about our 18-day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:39.28\00:10:42.24
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:42.87\00:10:45.63
with laboratory studies
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:45.64\00:10:49.00
physician consultations,
00:10:49.45\00:10:51.18
culinary school,
00:10:51.81\00:10:53.09
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:53.54\00:10:56.48
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:56.49\00:10:58.48
Your health is one of the most
00:11:00.54\00:11:02.06
important things
that you have. Don't wait.
00:11:02.07\00:11:04.09

00:11:04.54\00:11:06.27
Or visit our website:
00:11:09.33\00:11:10.57
Welcome back
friends, and as I promised,
00:11:28.24\00:11:30.36
the Doctor Ing in the studio.
00:11:30.37\00:11:32.12
How are you, Doctor
Ing? - It's great to see you.
00:11:32.18\00:11:34.03
It's always good to see
you. - Wonderful to be here.
00:11:34.06\00:11:36.66
You know Doctor Ing, I want
to get right into this interview
00:11:36.72\00:11:40.03
talking about Milton.
00:11:40.06\00:11:41.66
And when I first met him,
00:11:41.78\00:11:45.00
although he seemed very jovial,
00:11:45.27\00:11:47.66
he was quite sick.
00:11:47.81\00:11:50.27
Tell us a little
bit about his transition
00:11:50.39\00:11:52.72
in these last 17 days.
00:11:52.73\00:11:54.36
Well, he had diabetes,
00:11:54.37\00:11:56.78
he had high blood pressure,
00:11:56.81\00:11:58.87
he had high cholesterol,
00:11:59.00\00:12:01.72
and he was a
little bit too short.
00:12:02.06\00:12:04.75
çlaughterÑ Too short!
00:12:04.76\00:12:06.84
For the weight that he
had, he should have been taller.
00:12:06.85\00:12:09.81
But we weren't
able to figure out a way
00:12:10.48\00:12:12.36
to help him grow
taller, so I guess we
00:12:12.42\00:12:14.39
proceeded to
help him lose weight.
00:12:14.60\00:12:16.45
And in that
respect, he did very well.
00:12:16.51\00:12:18.39
So I'm going to assume that...
00:12:18.45\00:12:19.84
You said that he had
these various things going on.
00:12:20.12\00:12:24.63
That implies he
no longer has them.
00:12:24.66\00:12:26.69
Is that correct?
- Well, yes and no.
00:12:27.03\00:12:30.18
His blood pressure
by the time he left was
00:12:30.30\00:12:33.66
normal without having to use
any blood pressure medicines.
00:12:33.78\00:12:37.45
His diabetes -- his
blood sugars were normal.
00:12:37.46\00:12:41.87
without having to
use any medication.
00:12:42.06\00:12:44.30
He came in using some.
00:12:44.33\00:12:46.69
And also he came in using some
00:12:46.81\00:12:50.15
cholesterol-lowering medication.
00:12:50.48\00:12:52.72
which was stopped,
00:12:52.81\00:12:54.24
because we wanted to see
what his real numbers were.
00:12:54.25\00:12:56.60
And you know, his numbers to
start with were less than 150.
00:12:56.72\00:13:00.87
Around 147, 148.
00:13:01.06\00:13:03.33
And even though we
stopped his medicine,
00:13:03.34\00:13:06.12
his numbers stayed
right around the same area.
00:13:06.21\00:13:09.30
So showing that a
good, whole-plant-food,
00:13:09.42\00:13:13.03
plant-based diet
00:13:13.15\00:13:14.66
is really the way to go
to get your cholesterol down.
00:13:14.72\00:13:17.39
It's not saying,
"Doc! My cholesterol's high!
00:13:17.40\00:13:19.69
Give me a
prescription for some medicine!"
00:13:19.70\00:13:22.18
It's saying, "Doc,
my cholesterol's high!
00:13:23.18\00:13:25.33
Should I eat plant foods?"
00:13:25.34\00:13:27.06
That would be a
much better response,
00:13:27.07\00:13:29.45
but you know, that
isn't the usual response
00:13:29.48\00:13:31.12
of the average patient.
- Now let me ask you this,
00:13:31.13\00:13:32.42
because I know it's a question
00:13:32.48\00:13:33.87
that people have
asked me in the past.
00:13:33.88\00:13:35.63
With regards to medication,
00:13:35.69\00:13:37.63
Let's say I'm taking a
medication, whatever that is.
00:13:37.69\00:13:41.39
Does any one
medication take longer to
00:13:41.63\00:13:45.51
be eliminated from the system?
00:13:45.66\00:13:48.45
Some patients do take longer to
be eliminated from the system.
00:13:49.09\00:13:53.06
They say they have "half life."
00:13:53.24\00:13:55.36
You think of
medications in the "half life."
00:13:55.45\00:13:57.48
In other words, after
a certain amount of time,
00:13:57.54\00:14:01.03
half of the
effect of that medication
00:14:01.12\00:14:04.18
or half of that
medication has been
00:14:04.19\00:14:06.39
removed from the body.
00:14:06.40\00:14:07.72
So it is true
that some medicines
00:14:07.73\00:14:10.24
take longer than others.
00:14:10.25\00:14:11.27
How long would that period be?
00:14:11.28\00:14:12.87
Would it...1
day, 5 days, a week?
00:14:12.88\00:14:15.48
Well it really
depends on the medications.
00:14:15.75\00:14:18.03
Most of the ones that he
was on that we were using,
00:14:18.09\00:14:20.30
the effect of those medications
00:14:20.36\00:14:22.60
should be gone
within a few days.
00:14:22.63\00:14:24.30
So then it's fair to say
that if a guest comes here,
00:14:24.39\00:14:28.03
and he's stopping medications,
00:14:28.09\00:14:30.15
say, after 5 days,
00:14:30.24\00:14:31.75
then before he leaves here,
00:14:31.87\00:14:33.54
the numbers he
gets from the blood draw
00:14:33.55\00:14:36.30
that we sent out to the labs,
00:14:36.31\00:14:38.12
those are the
real, true numbers.
00:14:38.18\00:14:39.75
Yeah, that's a
reflection of where he is
00:14:39.76\00:14:42.72
without the medications.
00:14:42.73\00:14:44.69
Now I want to talk
about his weight loss,
00:14:44.87\00:14:47.12
because I know a lot of viewers
00:14:47.13\00:14:48.66
are quite
interested in weight loss,
00:14:48.67\00:14:50.48
and I was one
of them, of course.
00:14:50.63\00:14:52.42
Weight loss -- did he
actually lose 21 pounds?
00:14:52.60\00:14:57.36
Was that fat?
Was some of it food?
00:14:57.45\00:15:00.18
Was some of it water?
00:15:00.19\00:15:02.09
Tell us a little bit about that.
00:15:02.10\00:15:03.33
Well of course
some of it was water,
00:15:03.36\00:15:05.03
but you know,
his total weight loss
00:15:05.24\00:15:07.42
was 20.8 pounds.
00:15:07.51\00:15:09.60
And so he did really very well.
00:15:09.61\00:15:13.21
I've had an opportunity
to visit with him since then,
00:15:13.24\00:15:17.48
and he has continued
to lose even more weight.
00:15:17.49\00:15:20.12
In fact, when I talked
to him he said, "You know,
00:15:20.21\00:15:22.75
I've lost a total of 31 pounds."
00:15:23.00\00:15:25.48
The other thing was his wife...
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.54
She was here and she
was a little bit discouraged
00:15:27.84\00:15:30.33
because she hadn't
lost quite so much weight.
00:15:30.36\00:15:32.39
But since, you know,
in the total time now,
00:15:32.48\00:15:35.63
she's lost 11 and
a half, 12 pounds,
00:15:35.78\00:15:37.87
and of course she's very
pleased about that as well.
00:15:37.88\00:15:40.18
Well isn't it true
that women have a tendency
00:15:40.39\00:15:43.21
to lose weight at a
slower pace than men?
00:15:43.24\00:15:46.48
It seems to be
that's what we find here.
00:15:46.57\00:15:49.39
They lose weight; it
takes them a little bit longer,
00:15:49.42\00:15:53.12
but that's okay, and
that's why we have to
00:15:53.13\00:15:55.18
work with them
and encourage them.
00:15:55.36\00:15:56.60
You know, "Don't get
discouraged, don't give up.
00:15:56.78\00:15:58.72
Just keep following the
principles that you've learned
00:15:58.84\00:16:01.60
and you will
continue to improve."
00:16:01.72\00:16:04.09
Doctor, is there something
you can tell our viewers about--
00:16:04.21\00:16:08.87
Let's say that they
want to come to our program,
00:16:09.15\00:16:12.33
but they're a little afraid
of what's going to happen here.
00:16:12.48\00:16:16.69
Can you reassure them that
this is a safe place to be?
00:16:16.78\00:16:22.54
So to speak, and I mean
from a doctor's point of view.
00:16:22.75\00:16:26.54
Certainly. You're right,
some patients are afraid.
00:16:26.55\00:16:29.72
They say, "I'm really sick and
tired of being sick and tired,
00:16:29.87\00:16:34.75
but I'm afraid. I'm
afraid if I go there,
00:16:34.78\00:16:38.09
I'm never going to
have any more fun again."
00:16:38.10\00:16:41.30
They think that we're going
to take away all their fun.
00:16:41.39\00:16:44.48
And that really isn't the case.
00:16:44.51\00:16:46.75
Preventive medicine,
which is what we work with...
00:16:47.09\00:16:49.57
Preventive medicine
will give the guest,
00:16:49.75\00:16:53.30
give our patients,
more life to enjoy the fun!
00:16:53.42\00:16:56.72
- I remember that lecture.
00:16:56.78\00:16:59.09
Yeah. It's true, it really is!
00:16:59.15\00:17:00.81
And the other thing is,
00:17:00.84\00:17:02.24
We really don't take away
anything that's bad for them.
00:17:02.25\00:17:05.75
What we really do is,
00:17:05.84\00:17:07.09
it's better to say we
replace the things in their
00:17:07.18\00:17:10.45
life and their lifestyle
that are not conducive to health
00:17:10.54\00:17:14.48
with things that
are conducive to health.
00:17:14.57\00:17:16.75
So we don't take things away,
00:17:16.81\00:17:18.60
we, you know, say,
00:17:18.75\00:17:20.24
"Here, why don't you do this?"
or "Why don't you try this?"
00:17:20.25\00:17:23.09
And when you do this
you're going to feel better.
00:17:23.42\00:17:26.18
Your blood
pressures will come down,
00:17:26.36\00:17:28.81
your cholesterols will
come down and stay down,
00:17:28.84\00:17:31.72
and you'll have more energy.
00:17:31.78\00:17:33.66
And invariably,
this is what we find.
00:17:34.03\00:17:35.72
Because one of the questions
that I often ask the patients
00:17:35.81\00:17:39.39
after they've been here a while,
00:17:39.51\00:17:41.33
I say, "I want you to tell me
00:17:41.42\00:17:43.27
where your energy
level was when you...
00:17:43.28\00:17:45.51
before you got to Weimar."
00:17:45.72\00:17:47.72
Zero is, "I'm so tired
I can't get out of bed,"
00:17:47.73\00:17:52.21
and 10 is, "I can go
forever!" so to speak.
00:17:52.36\00:17:57.33
And so you know,
oftentimes when they get here,
00:17:57.36\00:17:59.63
well, before they get
here it'll be 1 and 2.
00:17:59.78\00:18:04.39
And I do remember
talking to a patient
00:18:04.45\00:18:06.63
within the last few days,
00:18:06.64\00:18:07.66
he says, "Yeah, most
of my days I spent in bed.
00:18:07.72\00:18:11.18
I was just, hurt so
much and I felt so bad,
00:18:11.19\00:18:14.48
I just couldn't get out of bed."
00:18:14.51\00:18:16.75
And when I talked to him
just a few days ago he says,
00:18:16.76\00:18:20.21
"Well I'm getting out and I'm
walking 3 and 4 miles every day.
00:18:20.22\00:18:24.00
I feel so much better."
00:18:26.21\00:18:28.06
And this individual had
some gastro-intestinal problems.
00:18:28.15\00:18:31.72
He had almost chronic
gastro-intestinal pain.
00:18:31.78\00:18:37.15
He says, "I don't
have that anymore."
00:18:37.27\00:18:39.24
He says, "My pants are so
loose I've had to get new pants,
00:18:39.30\00:18:43.69
because they're
gonna, they'll fall off.
00:18:43.70\00:18:45.57
My legs are so much stronger.
00:18:45.63\00:18:47.21
I can walk 3 and
4 miles at a time,
00:18:47.22\00:18:49.09
and when I got to Weimar
I couldn't do any of that!"
00:18:49.10\00:18:51.78
So God's blessing and good food
00:18:51.84\00:18:55.33
works wonders in
people's life and health.
00:18:55.36\00:18:58.36
We're just so fortunate
that we get to see this
00:18:58.78\00:19:01.75
month in and month out.
00:19:01.76\00:19:03.81
And though I see it every month,
it's still hard to believe
00:19:03.84\00:19:07.72
that just a simple
thing like changing my life
00:19:07.84\00:19:11.69
could change it in so many ways.
00:19:11.81\00:19:14.75
Spiritually, emotionally,
physically, mentally --
00:19:14.81\00:19:19.03
all these things have changed.
00:19:19.06\00:19:21.39
And I see this in just
that short period of time.
00:19:21.40\00:19:24.51
Of course, now I've had
almost 5 years to work on that,
00:19:24.60\00:19:27.66
and it is such a blessing.
00:19:27.87\00:19:30.45
Now Milton, I know,
he's taking a trip with you.
00:19:30.54\00:19:35.18
Is that correct?
- That's correct.
00:19:35.36\00:19:37.30
And you're taking a
group of people to China.
00:19:37.36\00:19:40.12
Well, yes. He heard
about that and says,
00:19:40.54\00:19:43.00
"Well, I'd really like to go!"
00:19:43.01\00:19:45.03
- And so he's going!
00:19:45.12\00:19:46.69
And what about when
you're on the road like that?
00:19:46.75\00:19:49.30
Are you able to
eat the proper foods,
00:19:49.33\00:19:53.57
even though you're
in a foreign country?
00:19:53.60\00:19:55.39
Well, one of the
nice things about
00:19:55.40\00:19:57.75
if you arrange for a group,
00:19:57.78\00:19:59.78
one of the
specifications that we talked
00:19:59.79\00:20:01.87
to the people who
helped organize it,
00:20:01.88\00:20:03.72
it must be a
totally plant-based diet,
00:20:03.81\00:20:07.09
you know, whole plant foods.
00:20:07.36\00:20:08.84
So there will be no
meat, no fish, no chicken,
00:20:09.00\00:20:11.75
no eggs, and no dairy products.
00:20:11.76\00:20:14.06
And so that was something that
many people were interested in.
00:20:14.24\00:20:18.06
Because we've been on
other tour groups where
00:20:18.15\00:20:20.72
you kind of had to
struggle around and find things.
00:20:21.00\00:20:25.54
The safest way and
the only way, according to
00:20:25.75\00:20:28.48
the person who
helped us organize this, is
00:20:28.51\00:20:31.15
well, if you have your
own group, you're in control.
00:20:31.16\00:20:33.30
You can decide what you want
them to have and what you don't.
00:20:33.31\00:20:36.12
- Right. - And it
makes a big difference.
00:20:36.36\00:20:38.30
I know you've had
cruises with people,
00:20:38.54\00:20:40.63
where you've taken
them out on a boat,
00:20:40.64\00:20:42.48
and had all this
luxury and everything,
00:20:42.49\00:20:44.54
and still kept them
on a plant-based diet.
00:20:44.69\00:20:47.42
That's right, because you have
the opportunities to do that.
00:20:47.54\00:20:50.18
You can choose. - Yeah.
00:20:50.21\00:20:52.00
Well Doctor Ing, it's
always a pleasure to see you.
00:20:52.15\00:20:55.36
I want to thank you
for coming on the show.
00:20:55.51\00:20:58.03
God bless you
and the work you do.
00:20:58.15\00:21:00.75
Thanks again, Ron.
00:21:00.76\00:21:02.36
And folks, thank
you for joining us,
00:21:02.63\00:21:04.36
but don't go away, because
00:21:04.37\00:21:06.21
we have an important
message right after this break.
00:21:06.30\00:21:10.45
Hi, and thank
you for joining us.
00:21:24.42\00:21:26.03
Today we have
with us Doctor DeRose.
00:21:26.06\00:21:28.09
It's a pleasure
to have you here.
00:21:28.24\00:21:29.48
It's great to
be with you, Cathy.
00:21:29.49\00:21:30.78
What do you have to
share with us today?
00:21:31.03\00:21:32.27
Well Cathy, you
know, one of the questions
00:21:32.54\00:21:34.24
that often comes up
when we speak about health
00:21:34.25\00:21:36.51
is the subject of fasting.
00:21:36.54\00:21:39.06
And I like to think of
fasting as being the ultimate
00:21:39.57\00:21:43.09
affordable remedy.
00:21:43.10\00:21:44.84
- You ever thought
about that? No I haven't,
00:21:45.15\00:21:46.48
but that's a good point. - Yeah.
00:21:46.49\00:21:48.00
I mean, people are
always trying to say, well,
00:21:48.01\00:21:49.84
"You know, all
these natural things,
00:21:49.87\00:21:51.45
they cost so much. I
gotta buy this supplement
00:21:51.54\00:21:53.84
or that one, or
buy this special food."
00:21:53.85\00:21:55.84
Well fasting
actually saves you money,
00:21:56.09\00:21:59.42
as well as
potentially helping your health.
00:21:59.48\00:22:01.63
But a lot of people don't
understand what that word means.
00:22:01.81\00:22:04.87
I mean, what kind
of fasts are they?
00:22:05.03\00:22:06.87
A lot of times, when
people hear the word "fast"
00:22:07.00\00:22:09.75
they think of the most
extreme type of fasting.
00:22:09.81\00:22:13.03
And really, the
most extreme type of fast
00:22:13.27\00:22:15.30
I've ever
recommended as a physician
00:22:15.31\00:22:17.36
is a water-only fast.
00:22:17.37\00:22:18.57
- For how long a time?
00:22:18.66\00:22:19.75
Well, I'd rather probably
not give a lot of details.
00:22:20.06\00:22:23.63
Why I'm saying that is
00:22:23.66\00:22:25.12
not that I
haven't prescribed fasts
00:22:25.13\00:22:26.72
for several days
that are water-only,
00:22:26.73\00:22:28.48
I would only prescribe them in
a medically controlled setting.
00:22:28.66\00:22:34.15
At least I know
the patient, I know
00:22:34.36\00:22:36.42
they don't have any
electrolyte imbalances,
00:22:36.43\00:22:39.24
mineral problems,
they don't have any
00:22:39.27\00:22:42.18
diuretics that
they're taking, water pills.
00:22:42.19\00:22:45.36
Because there's a
number of things that could
00:22:45.37\00:22:46.63
make that
potentially very dangerous.
00:22:46.64\00:22:48.51
Sodium could get very low,
00:22:48.63\00:22:50.18
or potassium or magnesium.
00:22:50.27\00:22:51.84
So I don't as a
general rule tell people,
00:22:52.03\00:22:55.00
"Just go on a
water-only fast for many days."
00:22:55.01\00:22:57.30
But having said that, we
know of biblical examples
00:22:57.45\00:23:00.57
of people that did that,
00:23:00.60\00:23:01.81
and I'm not
saying that God sometimes
00:23:01.82\00:23:03.09
doesn't lead people to do that.
00:23:03.10\00:23:04.78
I'm just saying that is
not the only kind of fast,
00:23:04.79\00:23:07.81
and if one of you
as one of our viewers
00:23:07.84\00:23:11.15
is contemplating
that type of fast,
00:23:11.21\00:23:12.78
just make sure you
don't have medical problems,
00:23:12.87\00:23:14.78
there isn't a history in the
family of mineral imbalances,
00:23:14.81\00:23:18.21
things like that. And if
you've got any questions,
00:23:18.27\00:23:20.06
talk to your doctor before
going on any kind of protracted
00:23:20.21\00:23:23.24
water-only fast.
00:23:23.36\00:23:25.18
But having said all that,
00:23:25.33\00:23:28.09
a fast is simply
anything where you step away
00:23:28.21\00:23:31.72
from your
customary intake of food.
00:23:31.75\00:23:34.36
So one very common
fast that I'll recommend
00:23:34.54\00:23:38.18
is leaving off the evening meal.
00:23:38.27\00:23:40.75
Many people who
have weight problems
00:23:40.78\00:23:43.42
sleeping difficulties,
00:23:43.45\00:23:45.39
digestive problems like reflux,
00:23:45.54\00:23:48.03
you know where
they have the heartburn
00:23:48.27\00:23:49.54
when they lay down at night.
00:23:49.55\00:23:51.03
By leaving off the evening meal,
00:23:51.06\00:23:53.03
they can often
get dramatic benefit.
00:23:53.04\00:23:55.24
Now having said that, Cathy,
00:23:55.25\00:23:57.45
some individuals, because they
00:23:57.54\00:23:58.87
have a lot of
acid in their stomach,
00:23:58.88\00:24:00.51
just going with the total
00:24:00.84\00:24:02.33
avoidance of the
meal is a problem.
00:24:02.34\00:24:04.27
So eating a lighter
meal in the evening.
00:24:04.60\00:24:07.03
If they don't have diabetes,
it might be eating some fruit.
00:24:07.06\00:24:10.48
Fruit is an excellent
quickly-digested food.
00:24:10.60\00:24:14.00
You eat it several
hours before you go to bed,
00:24:14.12\00:24:16.15
there's nothing in your
stomach, so when you lay down,
00:24:16.16\00:24:18.54
there's less that can come
back up that swallowing tube.
00:24:18.55\00:24:22.39
So it could be
considered a fast,
00:24:22.45\00:24:23.75
even though
you're just cutting back?
00:24:23.76\00:24:25.21
Yes, it's a type of fast.
00:24:25.30\00:24:26.60
So you may have
heard of a fruit fast?
00:24:26.61\00:24:28.57
Well you could do a
fruit fast every evening.
00:24:28.72\00:24:30.78
You see, that's the idea.
- And even for a diabetic?
00:24:30.87\00:24:33.36
Now, well, that's the catch.
00:24:33.63\00:24:35.21
For a diabetic, the fruits often
00:24:35.27\00:24:37.06
raise their blood
sugars significantly.
00:24:37.07\00:24:39.15
So those individuals,
00:24:39.27\00:24:40.78
if they are going to eat a
lighter meal in the evening,
00:24:40.79\00:24:43.09
we typically say,
"Stick with the vegetables."
00:24:43.10\00:24:45.87
Celery, lettuce, spinach...
00:24:45.88\00:24:50.03
A lot of the leaf
vegetables are excellent,
00:24:50.09\00:24:52.78
stalk
vegetables, stem vegetables,
00:24:52.84\00:24:56.87
flower vegetables -- your
cauliflower, your broccoli.
00:24:57.09\00:24:59.87
Those things are very
good. You can steam them
00:24:59.88\00:25:02.57
so they're more easily digested.
00:25:02.63\00:25:04.51
But those are excellent because
00:25:04.57\00:25:06.12
they keep the
blood sugar very stable.
00:25:06.13\00:25:07.84
The root
vegetables on the other hand
00:25:08.24\00:25:10.60
and the fruits, they tend to
raise those blood sugar levels.
00:25:10.69\00:25:13.81
So the idea of a fast
00:25:14.09\00:25:15.66
is stepping away from
your habitual consumption.
00:25:15.67\00:25:18.03
It can be on one extreme
that total water-only fast,
00:25:18.04\00:25:21.81
but it can be a whole
variety of things in between,
00:25:21.82\00:25:24.21
from leaving off an evening meal
00:25:24.22\00:25:26.18
to eating just a lighter meal.
00:25:26.30\00:25:28.09
So again, speak to your
doctor about different fasts
00:25:28.12\00:25:30.78
and what you'd do
and what your body's like
00:25:30.79\00:25:32.21
so he knows.
00:25:32.22\00:25:33.27
Especially if you're
doing that extreme fasting.
00:25:33.30\00:25:35.33
Now, typically you don't
need to talk with a doctor
00:25:35.45\00:25:37.48
if you're just
going to eat less.
00:25:37.49\00:25:38.75
I mean, the average American,
00:25:38.84\00:25:40.72
it would benefit
them to cut back.
00:25:40.73\00:25:42.81
But if they do have
blood sugar problems, yes.
00:25:42.82\00:25:44.51
And if they're
taking insulin and
00:25:44.66\00:25:45.66
they dramatically
decrease their intake,
00:25:45.67\00:25:47.63
well they could
get into problems
00:25:47.66\00:25:48.78
with too low blood sugar.
00:25:48.79\00:25:50.39
We often prescribe fasts
00:25:50.51\00:25:52.81
in specific situations
00:25:52.84\00:25:54.87
to help the body heal itself,
00:25:55.00\00:25:56.87
or to cooperate,
if you will, with God
00:25:57.09\00:25:58.84
in His healing agencies
00:25:58.85\00:26:01.39
that He actually has
at work in our bodies
00:26:01.40\00:26:03.51
in addition to His own power.
00:26:03.54\00:26:05.24
So letting your body
rest, too, basically.
00:26:05.30\00:26:07.57
It does give the
digestive organs a rest.
00:26:07.78\00:26:10.00
It also can be very powerful
00:26:10.27\00:26:12.24
if we're talking about
an auto-immune disease.
00:26:12.25\00:26:15.33
A rheumatoid arthritis, a lupus,
00:26:15.48\00:26:18.09
an inflammatory bowel disease,
00:26:18.10\00:26:20.00
these things often can respond
to different types of fasting.
00:26:20.01\00:26:23.06
Well I'm glad
you cleared that up.
00:26:23.12\00:26:24.27
A lot of people have
questions about fasting.
00:26:24.28\00:26:25.75
For more
information about fasting and
00:26:25.76\00:26:27.36
what Doctor DeRose
shared with us today,
00:26:27.37\00:26:29.00
visit our website at:
00:26:29.09\00:26:30.51
Thank you for joining us.
00:26:31.45\00:26:32.72
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:40.12\00:26:42.63
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:42.66\00:26:45.15
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:26:45.72\00:26:49.12
our educational system today.
00:26:49.15\00:26:51.30
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:26:51.84\00:26:54.21
saw schools more like a factory,
00:26:54.57\00:26:56.48
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:26:56.49\00:26:59.24
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:26:59.27\00:27:01.24
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:01.69\00:27:04.24
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:04.25\00:27:07.09
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:07.24\00:27:09.63
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:09.72\00:27:12.27
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:12.51\00:27:15.06
long since passed.
00:27:15.07\00:27:16.45
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:17.72\00:27:21.06
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:21.15\00:27:25.15
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:25.42\00:27:27.78
Well friends,
that's it for today.
00:27:41.15\00:27:42.57
Thank you for joining us.
00:27:42.58\00:27:44.12
But I know you
have a friend out there,
00:27:44.15\00:27:46.15
or a relative that's been sick,
00:27:46.24\00:27:48.54
and perhaps they're sick and
tired of being sick and tired.
00:27:48.60\00:27:51.39
Give us a call here at:
00:27:51.54\00:27:53.24
Don't delay. Pick up the phone
00:27:57.81\00:27:59.51
and call us at:
00:27:59.69\00:28:01.12
And may God bless you.
00:28:04.66\00:28:06.00
