Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:00:24.12\00:00:27.45
Would you like to get well?
00:00:28.12\00:00:29.30
Then stay tuned and
we're going to see this
00:00:29.60\00:00:32.24
video in just a
second here of Tommy Brown
00:00:32.69\00:00:35.36
when he arrived here at
the NEWSTART program at Weimar.
00:00:35.66\00:00:38.63
Well I was working around
the house one day cleaning up,
00:00:40.30\00:00:43.60
and I came across
some old CDs laying around.
00:00:43.61\00:00:46.27
And I decided to check them out,
so I started looking at them,
00:00:47.00\00:00:50.12
and one was about Weimar.
00:00:50.69\00:00:53.21
It sort of impressed me,
00:00:53.63\00:00:56.33
simply because I have
a lot of ailments, I have
00:00:57.03\00:01:01.60
high blood pressure, diabetes,
00:01:02.63\00:01:05.45
high cholesterol,
00:01:06.15\00:01:07.48
enlarged
prostate, prostate cancer,
00:01:08.06\00:01:10.87
cervical stenosis,
and a couple other things.
00:01:11.09\00:01:13.78
I want to gain a more
realistic, stable, healthy life.
00:01:14.27\00:01:18.00
I want to get off of
the drugs, and I want to
00:01:18.84\00:01:21.78
get rid of some of the
ailments, these diseases,
00:01:22.21\00:01:24.87
and things that are stunting
my growth, stunting my life.
00:01:24.88\00:01:28.15
I want to be in
a better frame of
00:01:30.27\00:01:32.45
mind to help more people myself.
00:01:32.46\00:01:34.54
Welcome back
friends, and in our studio--
00:01:36.30\00:01:38.24
Tommy how are you
sir? - I'm fine thank you.
00:01:38.69\00:01:40.78
Good to see you again.
00:01:40.84\00:01:42.09
Thank you for joining us.
00:01:42.33\00:01:43.81
And I recall
our first interview,
00:01:44.09\00:01:47.06
when you were
dealing with a lot of issues.
00:01:47.51\00:01:50.36
Tell us, what has happened?
00:01:51.06\00:01:53.75
Well... it could be
a long story in a way.
00:01:54.06\00:01:56.81
Since I've been here I've
met a bunch of wonderful people.
00:01:57.36\00:02:00.15
The environment is just great...
00:02:00.57\00:02:02.09
people with
positive attitudes, smiles,
00:02:02.21\00:02:04.78
and you can
feel a genuine desire
00:02:05.33\00:02:08.36
with everyone,
to want to help you,
00:02:08.81\00:02:10.48
to help you to
have a better life.
00:02:10.49\00:02:12.06
I have reduced
lots of my medications.
00:02:12.78\00:02:16.51
When I first came I think I was
00:02:17.06\00:02:18.60
on about 14
different medications.
00:02:18.61\00:02:20.30
14 different
medications! Now did you
00:02:20.42\00:02:23.27
take all 14 of those
once a day, twice a day?
00:02:23.28\00:02:26.60
I take them at different times,
most of them were once a day,
00:02:27.57\00:02:30.36
there were a couple I
was taking twice a day.
00:02:30.37\00:02:32.36
So you were on as many as
15 or 16 medications in a day?
00:02:32.48\00:02:36.48
Well some were the same...
00:02:36.51\00:02:38.06
medication I had
to take twice a day.
00:02:38.07\00:02:40.12
Yes, got it.
00:02:40.27\00:02:41.24
Now which ones did you
stop? Did you stop any?
00:02:41.33\00:02:43.63
Yes, fortunately, as far
as the high blood pressure,
00:02:44.36\00:02:47.42
I'm off the high blood pressure,
00:02:47.43\00:02:49.27
all except one, I'm taking
00:02:49.39\00:02:51.24
maybe one quarter
of one tab which I
00:02:51.57\00:02:53.81
started taking
three, I was taking three,
00:02:53.82\00:02:56.36
now I'm taking
one quarter of one.
00:02:56.66\00:02:58.39
I'm completely off all the
high cholesterol medication.
00:02:58.84\00:03:01.60
The heart
disease I was only taking
00:03:02.48\00:03:04.51
about 25 percent of
what I was taking before.
00:03:04.52\00:03:07.12
And I've cut back on insulin,
00:03:07.51\00:03:09.75
one insulin I've cut in half the
00:03:10.33\00:03:12.27
other one I've cut
back on considerably.
00:03:12.28\00:03:14.57
How do you
feel? how do you feel?
00:03:15.21\00:03:16.57
I feel great! - You look great
00:03:16.60\00:03:19.12
You're a
handsome guy. - Thank you.
00:03:19.57\00:03:21.27
And you've got a great smile,
and you play a mean piano!
00:03:21.36\00:03:25.03
- Ok!
00:03:25.54\00:03:26.51
So you feel great,
00:03:26.57\00:03:28.15
what part of the program
did you really tune into?
00:03:28.27\00:03:33.33
I know... I've been
through the program,
00:03:33.78\00:03:36.03
as I think I shared with you...
00:03:36.04\00:03:37.63
What did you like
the most? Cooking?
00:03:38.03\00:03:40.36
The walking? the
meetings? Tell us about that.
00:03:40.37\00:03:43.30
I like the
walking because I had been
00:03:43.81\00:03:46.18
walking for years but
even after coming here,
00:03:46.19\00:03:48.78
I've learned more about
00:03:49.09\00:03:51.24
how walking helps, different
ways to walk that can help you.
00:03:52.18\00:03:55.18
It's just better for
you, and it does more for you.
00:03:55.45\00:03:58.69
I have learned to
like a lot of the cooking,
00:03:59.24\00:04:03.15
the meals the new foods.
00:04:03.42\00:04:05.18
And I especially
like the doctor I have
00:04:05.63\00:04:09.12
they show so much genuine
00:04:09.72\00:04:11.51
personal
interest in you, it's not
00:04:11.52\00:04:13.78
a quick 15 or 20
minute interview and then
00:04:14.21\00:04:17.12
you got to go, I got
to get somebody else in.
00:04:17.42\00:04:19.48
They take whatever time it takes
00:04:19.69\00:04:21.63
to see that you're doing what
you're supposed to be doing,
00:04:22.18\00:04:25.09
answer you're
questions, and see if there
00:04:26.09\00:04:27.69
are any other ways
that they can help you.
00:04:27.70\00:04:29.39
I'm a little up in age,
00:04:30.75\00:04:32.03
and this is the
first time in my life
00:04:32.04\00:04:33.78
that I've ever had a doctor to
go out and take a walk with me!
00:04:34.27\00:04:36.15
Well you know, till I got here,
00:04:38.33\00:04:40.12
it was the
first time in my life,
00:04:40.24\00:04:41.75
that I really
got to see the doctor
00:04:41.76\00:04:43.39
for any extended period of time.
00:04:43.72\00:04:45.51
And I know you get
to eat with the doctors,
00:04:46.06\00:04:48.12
you get to walk
with the doctors,
00:04:48.13\00:04:49.66
you have visits
with the doctors,
00:04:49.67\00:04:51.24
and they're half hour,
45 minute, hour visits.
00:04:51.60\00:04:54.33
And in that time you really get
00:04:54.75\00:04:56.39
to ask a lot of
questions not just,
00:04:56.40\00:04:58.15
Well I got another
patient, I got to run, see you,
00:04:58.16\00:05:00.57
take two of these,
call me in the morning.
00:05:01.00\00:05:02.54
- Right, there's none of that.
00:05:02.87\00:05:04.06
- Yes, none of that right!
00:05:04.12\00:05:05.42
So you're doctor
is Dr. Ing, is it not?
00:05:05.69\00:05:08.09
Yes he is. - Great.
00:05:08.12\00:05:09.54
We're going to be talking
to him in a few minutes too.
00:05:09.78\00:05:12.03
- Ok.
00:05:12.12\00:05:13.15
What else? Tell us...
00:05:13.84\00:05:16.03
you know a lot of
people that we interview here
00:05:16.30\00:05:18.57
it just seems like there's this
00:05:18.84\00:05:21.27
magic about this
place called Weimar,
00:05:21.28\00:05:24.03
where we have
the NEWSTART program.
00:05:24.15\00:05:26.48
What is it? Is it the
exercise? Is it the food?
00:05:28.42\00:05:32.15
Is it the
attention? Is it the massage?
00:05:32.45\00:05:35.18
What is it in
your own heart do you
00:05:35.63\00:05:37.78
think has helped
you make this change?
00:05:37.79\00:05:40.12
There are many things,
00:05:42.33\00:05:43.30
almost everything
that happens helps!
00:05:43.31\00:05:44.81
I was hoping you'd say that!
00:05:45.78\00:05:47.42
It's true, the
food, the doctors...
00:05:47.48\00:05:51.27
They tell you a lot
of things that you know,
00:05:51.69\00:05:53.63
but they add other things that
00:05:53.64\00:05:55.06
the other
doctors don't tell you,
00:05:55.07\00:05:56.42
about life, about the different
00:05:57.18\00:05:59.45
things you eat and
drink, you consume.
00:05:59.46\00:06:02.18
The... I was a little
afraid when I first came here
00:06:02.19\00:06:06.42
because it's just a
little scary, you come here
00:06:06.72\00:06:08.57
and everybody you meet,
00:06:08.84\00:06:10.78
has a smile, they have a
positive attitude, and...
00:06:11.84\00:06:16.03
I genuinely felt that
they really cared about me,
00:06:16.81\00:06:19.36
and they really care about
00:06:19.78\00:06:21.03
helping all of us, and making
00:06:21.39\00:06:22.84
our lives
better, and our health.
00:06:22.85\00:06:24.54
Well you know, I know that
made a difference for me too.
00:06:25.51\00:06:28.63
I saw there was something
special about this place,
00:06:28.84\00:06:32.15
and I asked my doctor, I
said, What's going on here?
00:06:32.60\00:06:34.87
Everywhere I go
people are smiling,
00:06:35.21\00:06:37.42
they're kind, friendly
00:06:37.87\00:06:39.45
they want to pray with you etc.
00:06:39.78\00:06:41.57
and that's what
led me to the Lord,
00:06:42.12\00:06:44.03
this place right here,
Weimar, the NEWSTART program.
00:06:44.04\00:06:46.72
What about the food, now...
00:06:48.30\00:06:50.57
how are you
dealing with the food?
00:06:51.00\00:06:52.78
I have an Italian background
00:06:52.79\00:06:54.30
and I used to eat and
drink everything and anything.
00:06:54.69\00:06:58.06
How about you? Were you vegan or
00:06:58.60\00:07:00.48
were you
vegetarian when you arrived?
00:07:00.49\00:07:02.57
No I was a regular eater--
00:07:03.12\00:07:04.48
I had been leaning
toward vegetarianism,
00:07:04.72\00:07:08.03
I had cut out some
of the other things.
00:07:08.39\00:07:11.36
I wasn't a real
big meat-eater anyway.
00:07:11.39\00:07:13.75
So the food has been
a bit of a challenge,
00:07:14.03\00:07:18.48
but the more I've
eaten the more I've liked.
00:07:18.75\00:07:21.45
And so I think I
can adapt to the program
00:07:21.69\00:07:24.63
when it comes to the food.
00:07:24.75\00:07:26.18
Tell our viewers, if you will...
00:07:26.45\00:07:28.09
Just take any day of the week.
00:07:28.12\00:07:30.60
What do you do all day?
00:07:30.78\00:07:32.24
I know you're up at what,
quarter to six in the morning?
00:07:32.30\00:07:34.84
Maybe I
shouldn't have said that!
00:07:35.00\00:07:36.63
You're up early in
the morning, right?
00:07:36.81\00:07:38.48
We are, yes. - And what happens?
00:07:38.51\00:07:40.18
Well we're up,
we have to exercise
00:07:40.54\00:07:42.15
first thing in the morning.
00:07:42.21\00:07:43.27
We have to check our schedules
to see what's going on.
00:07:43.60\00:07:47.36
They have a beautiful
schedule laid out for you.
00:07:47.39\00:07:50.06
You stay busy,
and everything is...
00:07:50.21\00:07:53.36
Everything here is
focused on you as an individual,
00:07:53.54\00:07:56.30
the different things that go on,
00:07:56.54\00:07:58.42
the things that
they can do to help you.
00:07:58.43\00:08:00.39
We have classes
twice a day every day.
00:08:00.75\00:08:04.24
- Lectures...
Lectures like classes, yes.
00:08:04.27\00:08:06.63
And those are done by
doctors or Mrs. Ing, right?
00:08:07.03\00:08:10.54
Yes, and they're very,
very, very informative.
00:08:10.60\00:08:13.45
And they tell you about...?
00:08:13.54\00:08:15.24
Different phases of your life.
00:08:15.39\00:08:17.24
Everything from
the food you eat,
00:08:17.54\00:08:19.60
about the
walking, about attitudes,
00:08:19.61\00:08:22.24
about how things
relate to your health
00:08:22.27\00:08:25.69
and your lifestyle
and your well-being.
00:08:26.03\00:08:29.06
The schedule also
includes activities
00:08:29.21\00:08:33.48
that you can do about therapy,
00:08:33.66\00:08:37.27
different kinds of therapy,
00:08:37.45\00:08:39.06
and those people over
there are very informative.
00:08:39.24\00:08:41.27
They tell you about
the different therapies,
00:08:41.30\00:08:43.00
They take the time to tell
you how those things are working
00:08:43.12\00:08:45.81
with your body,
with your health,
00:08:45.87\00:08:48.27
how they're helping you
and how they will help you.
00:08:48.51\00:08:50.72
They even tell
you how you can do
00:08:50.84\00:08:53.78
a lot of the
things after you go home.
00:08:54.06\00:08:55.75
Are you talking about the
massage and the hydrotherapy?
00:08:55.84\00:08:58.72
Yes, and the footbaths.
00:08:58.78\00:09:00.54
- And what?
Footbaths? Footbaths.
00:09:00.55\00:09:02.54
Yes, for
neuropathy and other things.
00:09:02.55\00:09:05.36
Did you have neuropathy? - Yes.
00:09:05.69\00:09:07.33
Yes, I had
neuropathy. - Has that changed?
00:09:07.48\00:09:09.87
It has changed some.
00:09:10.27\00:09:11.33
I had some pain in my toes
00:09:11.39\00:09:14.21
and a small part of my foot,
00:09:14.24\00:09:16.27
which I haven't had
since I started the foot baths.
00:09:16.30\00:09:19.09
And who is your therapist?
00:09:19.15\00:09:21.18
My therapist is Ron Henny.
00:09:21.33\00:09:24.60
I mean, I'm sorry - Ron Denny.
00:09:24.66\00:09:26.21
- Rod Denny,
yes. Rod Denny, yes.
00:09:26.33\00:09:28.00
And you were treated well there?
00:09:28.33\00:09:30.06
I'm sure you
went into the saunas,
00:09:30.15\00:09:32.39
and you had
hydrotherapy and the hot baths,
00:09:32.45\00:09:35.84
and massage therapy, as well as
00:09:36.09\00:09:37.81
they put you
through the car wash.
00:09:37.82\00:09:40.09
We call it that because it
has so many nozzles and sprays.
00:09:40.36\00:09:44.06
Yes.
00:09:44.07\00:09:45.06
Did you enjoy
that, the hot and cold?
00:09:45.09\00:09:46.69
I enjoyed it, yes I did.
00:09:46.70\00:09:48.15
That's one thing you can do
when you get home, by the way.
00:09:48.36\00:09:50.48
It would be a
good idea to do that.
00:09:50.54\00:09:52.81
And also the fever bath. - Yes.
00:09:53.00\00:09:55.21
Because there are different
phases of the fever bath
00:09:55.27\00:09:57.21
that one can try at home.
00:09:57.24\00:09:58.51
Well Tommy, I
just want to bless you
00:09:59.81\00:10:02.63
and I want to thank you
for coming on our program
00:10:02.64\00:10:06.69
so our viewers can see your
testimony and hear about it.
00:10:07.09\00:10:10.75
Thank you very much.
00:10:11.21\00:10:12.33
Thank you so much
for this opportunity.
00:10:12.34\00:10:13.57
It's been great. It's
been well worth the trip
00:10:13.66\00:10:16.15
all the way across the country.
00:10:16.16\00:10:17.48
Folks, don't go away.
00:10:18.03\00:10:19.21
We're going to visit with
Doctor Ing in just a moment.
00:10:19.36\00:10:22.09
Well, you've done very well.
00:10:23.48\00:10:25.21
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:31.54\00:10:32.81
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:32.82\00:10:35.00
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:35.45\00:10:36.75
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:37.63\00:10:40.42
about our 18-day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:40.43\00:10:43.39
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:44.12\00:10:46.75
with laboratory studies
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:46.76\00:10:50.15
physician consultations,
00:10:50.60\00:10:52.33
culinary school,
00:10:53.06\00:10:54.24
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:54.69\00:10:57.63
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:57.64\00:10:59.63
Your health is one of the most
00:11:01.69\00:11:03.21
important things
that you have. Don't wait.
00:11:03.22\00:11:05.24
Give us a call at:
00:11:05.69\00:11:07.42
Or visit our website:
00:11:10.48\00:11:11.72
Welcome back friends, and
in our studio, Doctor Ing.
00:11:29.30\00:11:32.33
Doctor Ing, how are you?
00:11:32.60\00:11:34.15
It's great to be here, Ron.
00:11:34.27\00:11:35.63
It's always good to see you.
00:11:35.72\00:11:37.48
And especially when
we're talking about Tommy,
00:11:37.72\00:11:42.45
and the changes
that he's been through.
00:11:42.66\00:11:45.00
It's so wonderful.
00:11:45.15\00:11:46.27
I guess he was taking 14
or 15 different medications
00:11:46.36\00:11:50.00
as many as 16 or 17 times a day.
00:11:50.06\00:11:53.18
And you know, the
only thing I didn't ask,
00:11:53.36\00:11:56.39
and I wanted to ask you,
00:11:56.69\00:11:58.54
how did he do on his weight?
00:11:58.60\00:12:00.03
Oh! I think he lost
12 or more pounds, yeah.
00:12:00.30\00:12:05.15
Isn't that great? He didn't
look overweight to begin with!
00:12:05.16\00:12:07.51
But I wanted to ask him that,
00:12:07.78\00:12:09.42
and I figured
I'd wait to ask you.
00:12:09.43\00:12:11.24
He lost weight. He
definitely lost weight.
00:12:11.27\00:12:14.12
And one of the things that
he did to help achieve that
00:12:14.15\00:12:18.84
was he stopped
eating his evening meal.
00:12:19.15\00:12:22.12
after the first
day or two he said,
00:12:22.27\00:12:24.75
"You know, I'm a
little bit too short.
00:12:24.76\00:12:28.66
I need to get reapportioned."
00:12:29.00\00:12:30.75
So he stopped
eating his evening meal.
00:12:31.00\00:12:33.27
We adjusted his
medicines for his diabetes,
00:12:33.39\00:12:36.00
so he didn't have any problem
with his low blood sugars.
00:12:36.12\00:12:39.24
Because
sometimes they say, well,
00:12:39.66\00:12:42.54
"I've got to eat three meals
a day because of my diabetes,"
00:12:42.55\00:12:45.18
and that is not true.
00:12:45.19\00:12:46.48
You can adjust the
medication when you do that,
00:12:46.66\00:12:50.15
so that you don't
have many low blood sugars,
00:12:50.27\00:12:53.18
and for those
who are overweight--
00:12:53.51\00:12:56.21
we call them "too short"--
00:12:56.36\00:12:57.78
it's a lot easier to lose weight
when you don't eat a third meal.
00:12:57.87\00:13:01.78
If you don't eat
anything after three o'clock,
00:13:02.03\00:13:04.42
it's a lot easier
for them to lose weight.
00:13:04.45\00:13:06.51
Now when we went off camera
00:13:06.66\00:13:08.51
just at the end of
the interview with him,
00:13:08.52\00:13:10.42
I asked him how many
medications he's down to
00:13:10.66\00:13:13.48
and he says he's
taking only four.
00:13:13.54\00:13:15.51
That's pretty incredible!
00:13:15.54\00:13:18.27
He wanted to get off all
of them while he was here,
00:13:18.30\00:13:20.69
and I guess at
some point in time
00:13:21.09\00:13:22.78
he'll see his doctor--
00:13:23.00\00:13:24.39
or will he come
back and see you?
00:13:24.40\00:13:26.30
He'll probably see his doctor,
00:13:26.36\00:13:28.09
because he lives
in Richmond, Virginia.
00:13:28.10\00:13:30.42
That's a long
ways from here. - Yes.
00:13:30.43\00:13:32.36
But he's done very, very
well, and he's very, very happy.
00:13:32.54\00:13:35.69
In fact, working with him as we
00:13:35.84\00:13:39.39
were monitoring
his blood pressure,
00:13:39.60\00:13:41.66
he was starting to say,
00:13:41.78\00:13:42.87
"Doc, I feel a
little bit light-headed."
00:13:42.88\00:13:44.69
So we checked
his blood pressure,
00:13:44.78\00:13:47.06
and it was less than 100.
00:13:47.12\00:13:48.36
I mean, his
systolic was less than 100.
00:13:48.42\00:13:50.33
So I said, "Well you're still on
some blood pressure medicines.
00:13:50.36\00:13:53.30
Let's get rid of those."
00:13:53.36\00:13:55.21
And when we got rid of those,
00:13:55.36\00:13:57.33
he wasn't light-headed anymore,
00:13:57.57\00:13:59.03
his blood
pressure was still fine,
00:13:59.04\00:14:00.45
so he was very happy about that.
00:14:00.57\00:14:03.45
So he's off the
blood pressure medications.
00:14:03.75\00:14:06.60
Right. And we also stopped
00:14:06.75\00:14:09.33
the medicines to lower his
00:14:09.34\00:14:10.84
cholesterol and
his triglycerides,
00:14:10.85\00:14:12.84
because we want to
see what it's really like
00:14:13.12\00:14:17.36
when he's on a
good, healthful diet.
00:14:17.54\00:14:19.72
And even though his
00:14:20.00\00:14:21.03
cholesterol came
up just slightly,
00:14:21.04\00:14:22.75
it's still at a very good level.
00:14:22.84\00:14:25.12
So he's happy about
that. I'm pleased about that,
00:14:25.45\00:14:29.18
because some of the
medicines that he was on,
00:14:29.33\00:14:33.06
whether or not
they really helped
00:14:33.36\00:14:35.54
to lower the risk for
heart disease and heart attack
00:14:35.57\00:14:37.78
is debatable.
00:14:38.03\00:14:39.48
So now we know
that if he has his
00:14:39.51\00:14:41.48
cholesterol levels down
there without any medication,
00:14:41.51\00:14:44.21
then we know
what's really happening,
00:14:44.27\00:14:46.63
and that's much better. - Yes.
00:14:46.78\00:14:48.36
He just seemed to
be very, very pleased
00:14:48.48\00:14:50.72
with the entire staff,
00:14:50.73\00:14:53.36
and everything
that he's achieved,
00:14:53.39\00:14:56.24
and the kindness and the
love that has been shared
00:14:56.30\00:15:00.30
here at the NEWSTART program.
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.03
Doctor, I've
asked you this before,
00:15:02.39\00:15:04.51
and I need to ask again,
because I want to make sure
00:15:04.52\00:15:07.12
our viewers understand.
00:15:07.21\00:15:09.33
When our guests come here,
00:15:10.03\00:15:12.18
and they go
through this program,
00:15:12.19\00:15:13.87
you, pretty much you
work with them, you don't...
00:15:14.18\00:15:16.78
Could you tell us a
little bit about what it is
00:15:17.81\00:15:19.87
that you do as a physician?
00:15:20.00\00:15:21.60
Maybe tell our viewers so
00:15:21.87\00:15:24.21
we can have some people relax
00:15:24.48\00:15:27.15
so they can get themselves
to come to our program?
00:15:27.16\00:15:30.12
Well, when they come here we
do a comprehensive evaluation,
00:15:30.30\00:15:35.12
including the history.
00:15:35.21\00:15:36.51
They fill out a form
which asks lots of questions
00:15:36.75\00:15:39.33
about their illness,
00:15:39.39\00:15:40.66
how long they've
had their illness,
00:15:40.67\00:15:42.27
what medications they're on,
00:15:42.30\00:15:43.78
and we evaluate
that. We examine them,
00:15:43.81\00:15:47.39
do a thorough
physical examination.
00:15:47.54\00:15:50.45
And then after we do that,
00:15:50.60\00:15:53.33
we review where they are with
whatever condition they have,
00:15:53.34\00:15:57.63
and then we make suggestions.
00:15:57.81\00:15:59.81
- But that includes also...
Excuse me for interrupting.
00:16:00.03\00:16:03.18
That includes a blood draw
00:16:03.27\00:16:04.81
we do the first
morning they're here, right?
00:16:05.00\00:16:07.00
And then on the second day
we do a treadmill test, right?
00:16:07.27\00:16:09.78
That's right.
00:16:10.15\00:16:11.15
Is that all part
of this evaluation
00:16:11.18\00:16:13.42
that you're
speaking of? - Right.
00:16:13.43\00:16:14.63
That's all part of the
evaluation. It's included.
00:16:14.64\00:16:17.72
And so then we do
another blood test at the end
00:16:18.09\00:16:22.24
to see what's happened,
00:16:22.33\00:16:24.03
you know, if their results...
00:16:24.21\00:16:25.81
If their blood sugars
and their triglycerides
00:16:26.06\00:16:28.48
and the cholesterol
and the HDL cholesterol
00:16:28.54\00:16:30.48
and the LDL cholesterol,
00:16:30.49\00:16:31.57
how they've changed, if
they've improved, and so on.
00:16:31.58\00:16:34.42
And we also do a
second exercise treadmill test
00:16:34.63\00:16:38.54
to see if their
fitness level has improved.
00:16:38.75\00:16:42.00
And we can usually chart this,
00:16:42.30\00:16:46.21
because most of the time
00:16:46.22\00:16:48.78
the pulse rate is
recorded for every minute
00:16:49.18\00:16:51.63
like minute one,
minute two, minute three,
00:16:51.66\00:16:54.24
and then we compare
this with the second test.
00:16:54.39\00:16:57.03
On the second test
it's fairly common to see
00:16:57.18\00:17:00.24
that the pulse rate has...
00:17:00.39\00:17:02.36
you know, how many times
the heart beats per minute,
00:17:02.60\00:17:04.84
has decreased
since the first time,
00:17:05.06\00:17:07.48
which means that their level of
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.33
physical and cardiovascular
fitness has improved.
00:17:09.34\00:17:12.75
In other words,
they're stronger physically,
00:17:13.27\00:17:14.48
their heart is stronger,
00:17:14.63\00:17:16.24
and so their heart
doesn't have to work as hard
00:17:16.30\00:17:18.54
to do the same amount of work.
00:17:18.57\00:17:20.42
And they
oftentimes, the time that they
00:17:20.45\00:17:24.27
are able to
spend on the treadmill
00:17:24.54\00:17:25.84
likewise is improved.
00:17:26.18\00:17:28.06
In other words, if they stay on
00:17:28.21\00:17:29.75
like for six
minutes the first time,
00:17:29.76\00:17:31.57
they may stay on seven
minutes, eight minutes,
00:17:31.60\00:17:34.30
or even nine minutes or
possibly longer the second time.
00:17:34.54\00:17:37.27
How about Tommy?
How long did he stay on
00:17:37.39\00:17:39.36
the second time? Do you recall?
00:17:39.48\00:17:40.69
I don't recall exactly, but
00:17:40.72\00:17:42.81
I remember it was at
least 1-1/2 to 2 minutes longer
00:17:43.30\00:17:47.78
than it was on his first time,
00:17:47.79\00:17:49.60
and that means his
fitness level has improved.
00:17:49.66\00:17:54.09
And he's walking with a
brace, or he's used a brace,
00:17:54.10\00:17:58.45
So he did very, very well,
00:17:58.69\00:18:00.33
and he was very
pleased about that.
00:18:00.36\00:18:01.87
Doctor, are we prepared
here at the NEWSTART program
00:18:02.03\00:18:06.09
to deal, for
lack of a better word,
00:18:06.27\00:18:11.27
with any type of
disease a person might have?
00:18:11.39\00:18:15.24
Well, I'm not willing to
say "any type of diseases,"
00:18:15.72\00:18:18.21
because there's some diseases...
00:18:18.27\00:18:19.84
Well that's a
layman talking to you here.
00:18:20.12\00:18:21.72
Right, right, but you know,
00:18:21.81\00:18:23.51
the usual diseases that
afflict the American population,
00:18:23.54\00:18:29.09
like heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:18:29.21\00:18:31.81
diabetes, arthritis,
these types of problems,
00:18:32.15\00:18:35.81
and even we worked with some
of the auto-immune conditions
00:18:36.12\00:18:40.15
like lupus and things like this,
and also rheumatoid arthritis.
00:18:40.39\00:18:44.09
And we've had patients
come here with these problems.
00:18:44.42\00:18:47.03
And when they begin
to put into practice
00:18:47.24\00:18:52.36
the principles they learn,
and experience what happens
00:18:52.45\00:18:56.66
when you eat
good, healthful food
00:18:56.69\00:18:59.21
and when you start to
exercise, or just walking,
00:18:59.27\00:19:03.12
it's remarkable the changes
that take place in people.
00:19:03.24\00:19:06.45
So you know, they're happy,
00:19:06.48\00:19:09.78
we're happy to see
that they're so much better
00:19:09.87\00:19:12.21
and they feel better,
they have less aches and pains,
00:19:12.27\00:19:15.12
and their outlook on
life-- their mood improves.
00:19:15.48\00:19:19.42
For some who come depressed,
they have less depression.
00:19:19.60\00:19:23.45
For those who come with
fibromyalgia and aches and
00:19:23.69\00:19:27.06
pains associated with all the
00:19:27.15\00:19:28.54
muscle and joint
problems they have,
00:19:28.55\00:19:30.27
invariably the amount of
discomfort and pain they have
00:19:30.54\00:19:34.51
is dramatically reduced,
00:19:34.52\00:19:36.33
and the patients are
very pleased about this.
00:19:36.45\00:19:38.69
Now I've had
people call me and ask me,
00:19:38.81\00:19:41.33
"Ron, do you deal
with cancer patients?"
00:19:41.45\00:19:46.09
And my response is,
00:19:46.18\00:19:48.27
"Well, I've seen people
come through the program."
00:19:48.33\00:19:51.24
Can you talk about
that just for a little bit?
00:19:51.36\00:19:53.81
Well, we do have patients
who come here with cancer.
00:19:54.15\00:19:57.00
And cancer is a big problem
here in the United States
00:19:57.24\00:20:00.72
because it
causes about one-fourth
00:20:00.73\00:20:03.42
of all the deaths
here in the United States.
00:20:03.43\00:20:05.45
So, it depends
what stage they come in.
00:20:05.72\00:20:09.60
Sometimes if they
come in where they're just
00:20:09.66\00:20:12.72
really, very bad, and the cancer
has spread all over their body,
00:20:13.09\00:20:17.66
there's not a lot
that we can do as far as
00:20:17.69\00:20:20.72
helping them physically.
00:20:20.73\00:20:22.45
Although it's amazing that
sometimes patients come in--
00:20:22.46\00:20:26.12
We know that all
healing comes from God.
00:20:26.30\00:20:29.39
And the exciting thing
is, when we work with them,
00:20:29.66\00:20:32.15
when they follow
the rules of health,
00:20:32.18\00:20:33.63
when they pray to the
Lord and ask for healing
00:20:33.64\00:20:36.00
according to His will,
00:20:36.03\00:20:37.57
some of these
patients are healed.
00:20:37.60\00:20:41.81
And it's not our doing.
00:20:42.03\00:20:43.51
I mean, yes, you need to
follow the rules of health,
00:20:43.54\00:20:45.81
but God is the
Healer and Restorer.
00:20:46.18\00:20:48.12
It's not us and
it's not the program.
00:20:48.15\00:20:50.06
But we pray to God
and we cooperate with Him
00:20:50.21\00:20:52.66
so that we follow His rules,
00:20:52.69\00:20:55.00
and one of the
blessings of obeying the Lord
00:20:55.18\00:20:57.60
is better health. - Yes.
00:20:57.61\00:20:59.27
Well I've seen, and actually
people have sat in that chair
00:20:59.63\00:21:03.63
who have come to the
program that had cancer,
00:21:03.87\00:21:06.63
and see it go into remission.
00:21:06.78\00:21:08.66
Well Doctor Ing,
our time is running out.
00:21:09.33\00:21:12.18
I want to thank
you for joining us.
00:21:12.45\00:21:14.78
I know your time is real busy,
00:21:14.84\00:21:17.81
and we'll see you
the next go-around.
00:21:18.09\00:21:20.18
It's a pleasure, Ron. God bless.
00:21:20.36\00:21:21.84
God bless you.
00:21:21.87\00:21:22.87
And thank you,
friends. But don't go away,
00:21:23.27\00:21:25.15
because we have an
important message for you
00:21:25.21\00:21:27.18
right after this.
00:21:27.21\00:21:29.18
Hello, and
welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:21:43.09\00:21:44.57
I'm your host, Don Mackintosh,
00:21:44.60\00:21:46.18
and today we're glad that
Dr. Michael Orlich is with us.
00:21:46.21\00:21:49.15
Welcome, Doctor Orlich.
00:21:49.33\00:21:50.72
Good to be with you, Don.
00:21:50.81\00:21:52.21
Now you're a
specialist in family practice,
00:21:52.27\00:21:54.75
but also you're doing a
board in preventive medicine.
00:21:54.78\00:21:58.12
You worked for a time here
at the NEWSTART program as well.
00:21:58.13\00:22:01.12
That's right. Four years here
at NEWSTART Lifestyle Program.
00:22:01.15\00:22:04.51
And we have an
acronym here, NEWSTART,
00:22:04.69\00:22:06.84
which guests came
up with that, I guess.
00:22:06.85\00:22:09.15
And one of those
parts of that acronym is
00:22:09.33\00:22:12.33
W - water.
00:22:12.34\00:22:13.63
We're going to
talk about water today.
00:22:13.72\00:22:15.60
Do we get enough water?
00:22:15.69\00:22:18.09
Well, some people do
and some people don't,
00:22:18.57\00:22:21.42
but there are a lot of people
who don't get enough water,
00:22:21.57\00:22:24.78
and water is one
of those simple things
00:22:25.06\00:22:27.15
that we take for
granted, like air,
00:22:27.18\00:22:29.18
but it's very
important for our health.
00:22:29.42\00:22:31.57
Does our body tell
us when we need water,
00:22:31.84\00:22:33.57
or do we have to tell
our body that we need water?
00:22:33.60\00:22:35.42
Well it's very
fortunate that our body
00:22:35.43\00:22:37.57
does have a lot
of mechanisms for
00:22:37.58\00:22:39.75
keeping us from
getting dehydrated.
00:22:39.76\00:22:42.06
We hang on to more
water through our kidneys
00:22:42.24\00:22:46.42
when we're not getting enough,
00:22:46.54\00:22:48.03
and we also have
the thirst mechanism
00:22:48.15\00:22:50.87
that keeps us from
getting too dehydrated.
00:22:51.06\00:22:53.36
But remember, these
are alarms of your body
00:22:53.48\00:22:56.30
saying that you're
getting a bit dehydrated,
00:22:56.31\00:22:58.24
so it's better to
stay ahead of the game
00:22:58.25\00:23:00.72
and get plenty of water.
00:23:00.81\00:23:02.48
Remember that probably
70 percent of your body
00:23:02.60\00:23:06.27
is made up of water.
00:23:06.36\00:23:07.57
All of the
various chemical reactions
00:23:07.58\00:23:09.63
that take place in your
body that allow you to be alive
00:23:09.66\00:23:12.48
are water-based reactions.
00:23:12.72\00:23:14.81
And so having enough
water, staying well-hydrated,
00:23:14.84\00:23:17.69
is a very important
principle for health.
00:23:18.03\00:23:20.21
And you were telling me
before we did this segment that
00:23:20.54\00:23:22.87
they have some new
research that's also showing
00:23:23.12\00:23:25.30
some benefits for
being well-hydrated.
00:23:25.33\00:23:27.24
Well that's true. There
are a number of benefits
00:23:27.45\00:23:30.12
of getting enough water.
00:23:30.18\00:23:31.78
Some of the most obvious ones
00:23:31.87\00:23:33.69
actually have to do with the
urinary system and the bladder.
00:23:33.70\00:23:37.45
For example, if you want to
avoid urinary tract infections,
00:23:37.46\00:23:41.21
it's good to
drink plenty of water.
00:23:41.36\00:23:43.30
If you want to
avoid kidney stones,
00:23:43.51\00:23:45.66
it's important to
drink a lot of water.
00:23:45.67\00:23:47.54
If you keep the urine dilute,
00:23:47.57\00:23:49.54
the stones don't have as
much of an ability to form.
00:23:49.60\00:23:52.69
And bladder
cancer is clearly reduced
00:23:53.06\00:23:56.00
with increased water intake.
00:23:56.09\00:23:57.81
But what I was
telling you about is
00:23:58.18\00:24:00.81
findings from the
Adventist Health Study,
00:24:00.82\00:24:02.84
which is a major
epidemiologic cohort study
00:24:02.87\00:24:06.42
funded by the
National Institutes of Health
00:24:06.48\00:24:08.69
and done out of
Loma Linda University.
00:24:08.70\00:24:11.57
And they published
interesting results
00:24:11.81\00:24:14.39
that had to do with
people on their questionnaire
00:24:14.40\00:24:17.33
checking whether they drank
00:24:17.42\00:24:20.15
more than 5
glasses of water a day,
00:24:20.30\00:24:23.06
between 2 and 5,
00:24:23.07\00:24:24.81
or less than 2
glasses of water a day.
00:24:24.82\00:24:27.60
And a very, very
interesting finding
00:24:27.63\00:24:29.87
is that those people who drank
00:24:30.06\00:24:32.03
more than 5
glasses of water a day
00:24:32.04\00:24:34.15
had a significant reduction
00:24:34.24\00:24:36.66
in their risk of
coronary heart disease
00:24:36.67\00:24:39.57
compared to those
people who drank less
00:24:39.58\00:24:41.54
than 2 glasses of water a day.
00:24:41.55\00:24:43.60
So it seems that something as
simple as drinking enough water
00:24:44.03\00:24:47.33
may lead to a reduced risk
00:24:47.48\00:24:49.60
of one of the
biggest killers in America.
00:24:49.63\00:24:51.36
Wow. I'm
feeling thirsty already.
00:24:51.66\00:24:53.69
But is all water
equal? I mean, you know,
00:24:53.70\00:24:56.00
bottled water, tap water...
00:24:56.09\00:24:58.15
Where should I get my water?
00:24:58.30\00:24:59.72
Well, some people ask
about other beverages,
00:24:59.78\00:25:04.06
you know, like
say pop and Kool-Aid
00:25:04.12\00:25:06.66
and coffee and
that sort of thing.
00:25:06.72\00:25:08.51
And fortunately, all of
these things can help you
00:25:08.54\00:25:11.48
keep from becoming
completely dehydrated,
00:25:11.63\00:25:14.24
because they're all
mostly made out of water.
00:25:14.33\00:25:16.36
But it's far better
to drink pure water.
00:25:16.37\00:25:18.84
One of the biggest
and simplest reasons is
00:25:19.12\00:25:22.33
you don't need a lot of
the other things that's added,
00:25:22.45\00:25:25.45
and one of the
biggest things is calories.
00:25:25.57\00:25:27.57
You don't want to
drink your calories because
00:25:27.78\00:25:30.09
this can bring on
so many extra calories
00:25:30.12\00:25:32.21
and lead to weight gain.
00:25:32.22\00:25:33.42
But water itself, of course
we can get it in many forms.
00:25:33.57\00:25:37.24
And around the world,
00:25:37.33\00:25:38.81
many people die
from contaminated water.
00:25:38.82\00:25:41.63
Fortunately, here
in the United States
00:25:41.66\00:25:44.03
most city
water, municipal water,
00:25:44.15\00:25:47.06
is safe and free
of major pollutants.
00:25:47.12\00:25:50.75
And so most people can do well
00:25:50.78\00:25:53.00
with just drinking tap
water and drinking enough of it.
00:25:53.06\00:25:56.60
Bottled waters have been
looked at, and in general,
00:25:56.72\00:26:00.69
they're about the same
as your average tap water.
00:26:00.72\00:26:04.63
So there's no real
advantage to bottled water,
00:26:04.66\00:26:07.75
distilled water,
or that type of thing.
00:26:07.81\00:26:10.33
Six to eight glasses a day?
00:26:10.54\00:26:12.39
Six to eight glasses is
certainly a good rule of thumb.
00:26:12.45\00:26:15.72
It varies if you're
in a hot environment,
00:26:15.81\00:26:18.51
if you're exercising
a lot, you'll need more.
00:26:18.57\00:26:20.81
But 6 to 8 glasses a day is good
for most people and most times.
00:26:21.15\00:26:25.00
Well I think we're
going to have a drink
00:26:25.24\00:26:26.36
right after this segment--
00:26:26.39\00:26:27.48
of water, that is.
00:26:27.63\00:26:29.03
And we're glad
that you joined us.
00:26:29.06\00:26:30.21
Doctor Mike, we're
glad you're here with us.
00:26:30.42\00:26:32.27
And we're glad that
you joined us, as well.
00:26:32.45\00:26:34.12
We hope that you
can visit our website:
00:26:34.15\00:26:36.30
Get more information
about this or other subjects,
00:26:37.18\00:26:39.27
and that as a
result of today's program
00:26:39.30\00:26:41.24
you have a new start
that begins right now.
00:26:41.25\00:26:44.09
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:51.72\00:26:54.33
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:54.36\00:26:56.75
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:26:57.42\00:27:00.72
our educational system today.
00:27:00.75\00:27:03.00
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:27:03.54\00:27:05.81
saw schools more like a factory,
00:27:06.27\00:27:08.18
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:27:08.19\00:27:10.84
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:27:10.87\00:27:12.84
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:13.39\00:27:15.84
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:15.85\00:27:18.69
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:18.84\00:27:21.33
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:21.42\00:27:23.87
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:24.21\00:27:26.66
long since passed.
00:27:26.67\00:27:28.15
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:29.42\00:27:32.66
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:32.75\00:27:36.75
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:37.12\00:27:39.48
Well friends,
that's it for today.
00:27:52.66\00:27:54.33
I know there's
many of you out there
00:27:54.36\00:27:56.33
that need to
come to our program,
00:27:56.34\00:27:58.12
so pick up that phone
and give us a call at:
00:27:58.15\00:28:00.57
God bless you.
00:28:04.48\00:28:05.54
