Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:00:23.81\00:00:27.39
We have in our studio today
00:00:27.84\00:00:29.75
a lady all the
way from Virginia,
00:00:30.18\00:00:32.21
and as you know
we're in California,
00:00:32.22\00:00:34.33
and I'd like to show you a
00:00:34.60\00:00:35.78
clip from when
she first arrived.
00:00:35.79\00:00:37.33
Well I have multiple sclerosis,
00:00:39.12\00:00:41.42
and while I have
a very mild case,
00:00:41.63\00:00:46.18
I was diagnosed in 2001,
00:00:46.84\00:00:48.78
and I hadn't had
an episode since then,
00:00:49.15\00:00:52.09
until this last summer in June.
00:00:52.10\00:00:54.36
And my left leg
and foot went numb,
00:00:54.78\00:00:58.24
and I was having a hard time
00:00:58.42\00:01:00.33
walking and my
energy level was very low.
00:01:00.34\00:01:03.06
I had trouble
doing daily activities,
00:01:03.39\00:01:06.06
and participating in my family's
00:01:06.12\00:01:08.39
you know, going
out to eat, or going
00:01:08.84\00:01:12.09
on vacation or even just
going away for the weekend.
00:01:12.27\00:01:15.24
I had heard about
NEWSTART many many
00:01:15.69\00:01:18.30
years ago in some
tapes that I had received,
00:01:18.31\00:01:21.36
and over the years I
had met people who had
00:01:22.03\00:01:25.15
good things to say
about the NEWSTART program.
00:01:25.16\00:01:28.42
And... and then I...
00:01:28.75\00:01:31.33
had-- I saw the NEWSTART
NOW program and that kind of
00:01:31.78\00:01:36.42
put me over the edge, I
said, I need to do this.
00:01:36.72\00:01:39.06
I would love
00:01:39.18\00:01:41.09
to have my
blood pressure go down
00:01:41.21\00:01:42.69
so I could go off
of the medication.
00:01:42.70\00:01:44.33
I would love for my
energy level to increase.
00:01:44.39\00:01:48.00
I... my greatest hope is that
00:01:48.45\00:01:52.69
the numbness in my left leg goes
00:01:53.09\00:01:55.06
away because it
makes it hard to walk.
00:01:55.07\00:01:57.30
I mean if I get
tired, if I get hot
00:01:57.57\00:02:00.06
it goes completely numb,
and I trip, you know, I fall...
00:02:00.21\00:02:03.63
you know the chance of
falling goes up a great deal.
00:02:03.84\00:02:08.00
Welcome back friends and
in our studio, Jean Crawford
00:02:09.03\00:02:12.00
How are you? All the
way from Newmarket Virginia.
00:02:12.33\00:02:16.12
I'm great. I'm great.
00:02:16.21\00:02:17.63
You look so different
than when we first met!
00:02:17.75\00:02:21.21
Yes, I feel very different,
00:02:21.30\00:02:22.87
so I'm not surprised
that I look different.
00:02:22.88\00:02:25.42
So, what's changed?
00:02:25.60\00:02:27.00
I've learned a new way to live.
00:02:27.48\00:02:29.78
- You have.- I've
been rehabilitated!
00:02:30.33\00:02:31.84
Yes, and I'd like you
to tell our viewers what
00:02:32.06\00:02:35.18
your neurologist said
about the feeling in your leg.
00:02:35.19\00:02:38.60
Well when I had my
MS attack last year,
00:02:38.84\00:02:43.21
and it didn't resolve itself
within a matter of a few months,
00:02:43.45\00:02:47.21
my last appointment
which was in February,
00:02:47.36\00:02:50.24
she said that I
probably wouldn't
00:02:50.69\00:02:52.36
get my feeling back in that leg.
00:02:52.37\00:02:53.84
February 2010.- Yes.
00:02:54.09\00:02:56.36
And you'd never get your
feeling back in your leg.
00:02:56.60\00:02:58.51
Probably... she said...
she didn't say equivocally no,
00:02:58.63\00:03:01.63
but she said probably not.
00:03:01.64\00:03:03.15
- Probably not.
00:03:03.16\00:03:04.27
Well have you
got any feeling back?
00:03:04.39\00:03:06.15
Yes, I have. I've had
00:03:06.39\00:03:08.03
times during the
day when it's not numb,
00:03:08.48\00:03:10.66
and I had a whole day
00:03:10.67\00:03:11.78
last Saturday when it
wasn't numb, and I could...
00:03:12.21\00:03:14.72
-The whole day it
wasn't numb? - The whole day!
00:03:15.00\00:03:17.06
And I went for a
two mile walk too!
00:03:17.09\00:03:19.39
And you didn't
stumble? You didn't fall?
00:03:19.54\00:03:21.27
And I didn't stumble
00:03:21.28\00:03:22.33
it didn't go numb,
and I was very happy!
00:03:22.34\00:03:25.12
- Thank God!
00:03:25.27\00:03:26.30
It... I couldn't believe it!
00:03:26.48\00:03:28.06
I mean I don't know
why I couldn't believe it,
00:03:28.27\00:03:30.51
but I couldn't. I was very
00:03:30.52\00:03:31.75
excited about
that I told everybody,
00:03:32.27\00:03:34.06
I had to tell everybody!
00:03:34.07\00:03:35.21
- Yes.
00:03:35.22\00:03:36.36
So what else? Tell us more!
00:03:37.00\00:03:39.42
You got... I know a
lot happened, tell me more.
00:03:39.63\00:03:41.78
Well, I'm able
to walk a great-- I
00:03:41.79\00:03:44.39
mean one day I
walked five miles!
00:03:44.40\00:03:46.69
- Wow
00:03:46.70\00:03:47.67
on a five mile hike, yeah.
00:03:47.68\00:03:49.03
And I hadn't been able
to do that for over a year.
00:03:49.06\00:03:51.57
I can walk two and a
half to three miles everyday.
00:03:52.54\00:03:56.30
And I've lost weight,
00:03:56.60\00:03:58.54
my cholesterol's down,
00:03:58.75\00:04:00.27
I'm off my blood
pressure medication,
00:04:00.28\00:04:02.63
I'm off my sleep medication!
00:04:02.81\00:04:05.42
What is your blood pressure now?
00:04:06.45\00:04:08.00
Today was--while it's
been 120 over-- well it was
00:04:09.57\00:04:12.75
exactly 120 over 80 this
morning when I took it so...
00:04:12.76\00:04:15.87
- And that's without medication?
00:04:16.06\00:04:17.18
- Without medication.
00:04:17.19\00:04:18.27
With medication when
you arrived what was it?
00:04:18.28\00:04:21.39
Hmm, it was
higher than that. It was
00:04:21.45\00:04:23.75
probably 130 over...
00:04:24.00\00:04:26.63
well about 87.
00:04:27.33\00:04:29.03
Okay, so... - That
00:04:29.12\00:04:30.42
was with medication, so...
00:04:30.43\00:04:32.12
And then it started to
go down. It was about at 111
00:04:32.72\00:04:36.63
on the medication
while I was doing this,
00:04:36.87\00:04:38.78
so they said, Go
ahead and go off of it,
00:04:38.79\00:04:40.60
and I did, and it stayed down!
00:04:41.03\00:04:43.24
- Wow.
00:04:43.25\00:04:44.30
Yeah, that's exciting-- I
mean my blood work came back and
00:04:44.31\00:04:48.39
that was wonderful. I mean to
see your cholesterol come down,
00:04:48.84\00:04:53.30
to see my blood
pressure come down,
00:04:53.45\00:04:55.18
you know, that
was--that's good to see.
00:04:55.63\00:04:58.84
Tell us about the
weight that's come off,
00:04:59.12\00:05:01.18
you said you
lost a little weight.
00:05:01.19\00:05:02.81
I've lost about 6 pounds.
00:05:03.03\00:05:04.60
Hmm, I've lost a
couple of inches total.
00:05:04.81\00:05:08.81
I would like to say I
lost a bunch of inches,
00:05:09.06\00:05:11.21
but I lost a
couple inches total.
00:05:11.22\00:05:12.69
But I expect it to continue
00:05:12.81\00:05:14.45
you know, as I go
home and continue eating
00:05:14.63\00:05:17.21
and walking and doing the things
00:05:17.39\00:05:19.03
that I've learned
here, which is a lot.
00:05:19.04\00:05:20.84
I expect it to keep improving.
00:05:21.33\00:05:23.72
And what is your
family going to say about this
00:05:24.42\00:05:26.87
new lifestyle that
you're going to bring home?
00:05:26.88\00:05:29.30
Well my husband has said that
he's going to do it with me,
00:05:29.42\00:05:33.06
he's going to support me and
00:05:33.12\00:05:34.66
he's going to
eat what I fix, and
00:05:34.67\00:05:36.51
walk with me, and I think
we're both going to benefit.
00:05:36.69\00:05:40.42
Because I'm going
to be teaching him
00:05:40.63\00:05:42.60
all about
everything that I've learned!
00:05:42.61\00:05:44.69
Good I'm so happy for you,
you just look so different.
00:05:44.84\00:05:48.57
Well like I said
I feel so different
00:05:48.84\00:05:51.78
I have so much
energy! - What is it?
00:05:52.00\00:05:53.30
Can you tell us, what-- was
it any one particular thing?
00:05:53.39\00:05:57.21
Did someone wave a
magic wand or something?
00:05:57.51\00:05:59.54
And I know that's not it!
00:05:59.55\00:06:00.69
They tell you the water's magic!
00:06:00.70\00:06:02.75
But I don't
know, maybe it is! But
00:06:05.06\00:06:07.39
no, it's the
food-- you're doing a
00:06:07.57\00:06:10.00
combination of things
that sounds so simple.
00:06:10.01\00:06:12.87
So you've learned that
NEWSTART is an acronym for
00:06:13.27\00:06:16.24
Nutrition,
Exercise, Water, Sunshine,
00:06:16.51\00:06:19.15
Temperance, Air, Rest,
00:06:19.45\00:06:21.12
and Trust in a Divine
Power. - That's right.
00:06:21.30\00:06:23.63
You've learned this. - Yes.
00:06:23.69\00:06:25.39
And you-- - To implement it.
00:06:25.63\00:06:27.15
Do you own it? - Yes.
00:06:27.18\00:06:29.00
Is it really yours? - Yes.
00:06:29.01\00:06:30.69
- And all this in 18 days?
00:06:30.84\00:06:32.39
All this in 18 days,
isn't that hard to believe.
00:06:32.57\00:06:35.24
It's something so simple.
00:06:35.27\00:06:36.72
Well you know it is
hard for me to believe,
00:06:36.75\00:06:39.30
even though I went through
00:06:39.31\00:06:40.72
the program just as you did.
00:06:41.15\00:06:43.06
It was hard to believe
00:06:43.36\00:06:45.21
that what my doctors
couldn't do in years,
00:06:45.66\00:06:48.60
we had done here in two weeks.
00:06:49.15\00:06:50.54
So... - Yes.
00:06:51.54\00:06:52.57
Yes, and I have
an appointment with
00:06:52.81\00:06:54.69
my doctor the
day after I get back,
00:06:54.70\00:06:56.54
and I think he's going
to be very very pleased.
00:06:57.06\00:06:59.45
He's going to be
very pleased I know.
00:06:59.60\00:07:01.69
So tell me what part
of the program here--
00:07:02.24\00:07:04.36
we're talking a lot
about you and that's what this
00:07:04.37\00:07:06.81
interview is
about, but what part
00:07:07.30\00:07:09.18
of the program
did you like the most?
00:07:09.19\00:07:11.18
Oh that would be very difficult.
00:07:11.57\00:07:13.39
Believe it or not, I
really liked getting up
00:07:14.24\00:07:16.48
and doing stretchercise
at 6:45 in the morning,
00:07:16.49\00:07:18.78
6:45?
00:07:19.03\00:07:21.33
Well... I get up
earlier than--No...
00:07:21.48\00:07:23.84
Yeah, 6:45, no 5:45.
00:07:24.39\00:07:26.60
5:45, Okay. - 5:45 I'm sorry,
00:07:26.72\00:07:28.39
5:45, I'm still
on east coast time!
00:07:28.42\00:07:30.36
5:45, and going for the walks
00:07:31.03\00:07:34.21
and meeting--
there's no one part--
00:07:34.27\00:07:36.84
It was all, I enjoyed it all,
00:07:37.03\00:07:39.54
I loved it all--the food well
00:07:39.57\00:07:41.39
I enjoyed the food
probably most of all.
00:07:41.63\00:07:43.54
I would have to say
00:07:43.69\00:07:44.84
that was my favorite part,
00:07:45.06\00:07:46.51
was finding out
that eating vegan
00:07:46.52\00:07:48.33
and eating
nutritiously, is not a hardship.
00:07:49.33\00:07:54.30
It actually is enjoyable
00:07:54.54\00:07:56.24
and I don't miss chocolate.
00:07:56.63\00:07:59.03
Now did people
here treat you ok?
00:08:01.15\00:08:05.63
The people here are wonderful.
00:08:06.54\00:08:08.51
I mean everybody, I mean
00:08:09.09\00:08:11.03
they treat you like you're the
only one going through this, and
00:08:11.36\00:08:15.45
they're so supportive,
and you get to know them,
00:08:16.12\00:08:19.09
it's not like you
just get to see them for...
00:08:19.10\00:08:21.60
like the doctors, for
the-- and you spend like
00:08:21.87\00:08:24.60
15-20 minutes at each
00:08:24.61\00:08:25.84
doctor
appointment that you have.
00:08:25.85\00:08:27.72
They eat with you,
they walk with you,
00:08:28.00\00:08:29.84
they come in and
socialize with you.
00:08:30.24\00:08:33.21
You see them all the
time, so your doctor just isn't
00:08:33.30\00:08:36.51
just trying to give you
medicine to make you better.
00:08:37.24\00:08:39.30
Isn't it wonderful you get
to have lunch and breakfast,
00:08:39.75\00:08:42.45
and if you're eating dinners
00:08:42.46\00:08:43.75
you can sit across the table and
00:08:44.21\00:08:45.72
ask them all the
questions you want!
00:08:45.73\00:08:47.48
I like that part myself!
00:08:47.72\00:08:49.30
I did, that was refreshing,
00:08:49.33\00:08:51.75
And one of the guests got sick,
00:08:52.00\00:08:55.36
and one of the
doctors went and got her
00:08:55.54\00:08:57.57
some Gatorade
because she had been
00:08:57.78\00:09:00.54
throwing up all
night long, and he went and
00:09:00.87\00:09:03.15
got in his car and
went and got her something
00:09:03.16\00:09:05.30
so she--
00:09:05.31\00:09:06.33
Now my doctor would
say call an ambulance!
00:09:06.34\00:09:09.03
Well thank God
for our doctors here.
00:09:10.60\00:09:13.36
Oh, they're wonderful.
00:09:13.51\00:09:14.84
So, tell our viewers here,
00:09:15.72\00:09:19.09
what you plan to do from
this point--Oh but before that
00:09:19.54\00:09:22.72
tell our viewers,
00:09:23.48\00:09:24.87
how you ended up arriving here,
I think you said it the first
00:09:25.57\00:09:28.51
interview that you
saw this program on TV
00:09:29.06\00:09:32.69
and that's how you got here.
00:09:33.06\00:09:34.45
That's what
pushed me over the edge,
00:09:34.72\00:09:36.81
yes, I mean that's what...
00:09:36.82\00:09:38.33
You know I just
felt so strongly the
00:09:38.78\00:09:40.87
Holy Spirit saying
you need to do this Jean.
00:09:40.88\00:09:43.45
You need to call
right now, before you
00:09:43.84\00:09:46.45
get busy doing anything else,
00:09:47.03\00:09:48.45
-and I did- and
make the reservation,
00:09:48.66\00:09:50.75
make your plane
reservation and get out there.
00:09:51.09\00:09:53.69
You know I
almost felt like it was
00:09:53.87\00:09:55.54
do it now or
you're going to regret it,
00:09:56.09\00:09:58.09
you know, I mean
00:09:58.27\00:10:00.06
I can't even tell you
the feeling that I had.
00:10:00.69\00:10:03.15
It was almost overwhelming,
00:10:03.16\00:10:04.57
and I did, I did it
right then and there.
00:10:04.58\00:10:06.69
And then in two
weeks I found myself here.
00:10:07.36\00:10:10.21
Well
congratulations- - Thank you.
00:10:10.66\00:10:12.48
I want to thank
you for joining us,
00:10:12.49\00:10:14.66
You're welcome, very welcome.
- God Bless you my friend.
00:10:14.75\00:10:17.39
Don't go away friends,
00:10:17.66\00:10:18.78
because we have
an important message,
00:10:18.79\00:10:20.63
an interview with Dr. Lukens.
00:10:20.64\00:10:22.09
Well, you've done very well.
00:10:24.24\00:10:25.87
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:32.30\00:10:33.57
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:33.58\00:10:35.66
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:36.21\00:10:37.51
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:38.39\00:10:41.18
about our 18-day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:41.19\00:10:44.15
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:44.78\00:10:47.51
with laboratory studies
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:47.52\00:10:50.81
physician consultations,
00:10:51.36\00:10:53.09
culinary school,
00:10:53.72\00:10:55.00
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:55.45\00:10:58.39
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:58.40\00:11:00.39
Your health is one of the most
00:11:02.45\00:11:03.87
important things
that you have. Don't wait.
00:11:03.88\00:11:06.00
Give us a call at:
00:11:06.45\00:11:08.18
Or visit our website:
00:11:11.24\00:11:12.48
Hi folks and welcome back,
and as I promised--Dr. Lukens
00:11:30.24\00:11:33.66
Yes. - How are you sir?
00:11:34.21\00:11:35.45
Good to be back again and
talk about our favorite things.
00:11:35.46\00:11:38.78
This is my favorite subject,
00:11:38.87\00:11:40.84
this is the most fun
thing I do on campus.
00:11:40.85\00:11:43.72
And I want to
talk about Jean because
00:11:44.27\00:11:46.36
when she got here,
00:11:46.63\00:11:47.87
She had kind of a gimpy
leg of some sort that she said?
00:11:48.21\00:11:52.03
And some other problems?
00:11:52.48\00:11:54.81
So how's she fairing
from a doctor's point of view?
00:11:55.54\00:11:59.09
Well you know, it's
very interesting because
00:11:59.51\00:12:01.78
in her situation...
00:12:02.12\00:12:04.06
Multiple sclerosis is
the disease that she has.
00:12:05.39\00:12:08.54
She said hers is a mild case,
00:12:09.00\00:12:11.75
it's good that...
00:12:12.30\00:12:13.72
she goes in and out of
00:12:14.12\00:12:15.60
remission and we
call it exacerbation.
00:12:15.61\00:12:18.21
But mild maybe, but she
00:12:18.66\00:12:22.51
told you that she
couldn't do very much,
00:12:23.33\00:12:25.36
and if that's
mild then that's...
00:12:25.37\00:12:27.06
how mild is that?
00:12:28.15\00:12:29.51
- How severe does it get?
00:12:29.63\00:12:31.54
Well let me just tell you
00:12:31.66\00:12:33.72
the way we sort of
understand the disease
00:12:34.57\00:12:38.30
is like your nerves
00:12:38.51\00:12:40.81
they have sheaths over them,
00:12:42.03\00:12:43.87
like insulation
on the sheaths...
00:12:43.88\00:12:46.21
the nerve sheath.
00:12:46.22\00:12:47.33
And some how the
body attacks itself,
00:12:47.72\00:12:50.03
and so you've got like all
these bare wires out there,
00:12:50.39\00:12:53.21
and then after
a while, you know,
00:12:53.63\00:12:55.69
those parts of the
body aren't functioning.
00:12:55.70\00:12:58.33
And she told me
that just today, that
00:12:58.69\00:13:01.00
when they took pictures of her,
00:13:01.24\00:13:02.81
her brain-- there's these
white areas where there's...
00:13:03.06\00:13:05.42
there's no more of that
sheath, and she's hoping that
00:13:05.87\00:13:08.24
that's not going to
be an ongoing problem.
00:13:08.69\00:13:11.72
But she's done very
well since she's been here.
00:13:12.15\00:13:14.36
Now I had a...
00:13:14.81\00:13:16.54
schoolmate in college,
00:13:17.18\00:13:19.03
and following the traditional
things that were offered to him.
00:13:19.27\00:13:24.66
What you usually see is that
the person in about five years,
00:13:25.21\00:13:29.30
they're in a wheelchair,
00:13:29.54\00:13:31.09
and then in ten
years they're bedfast,
00:13:31.63\00:13:34.63
and then they die.
00:13:35.00\00:13:36.03
And he's dead, and he
was one of my schoolmates
00:13:36.04\00:13:38.42
So it's a progressive
ongoing, and not a good disease.
00:13:38.87\00:13:42.69
But there is research out there,
and people have shown this, that
00:13:43.27\00:13:47.84
these people when they get
on a really good lifestyle,
00:13:48.39\00:13:52.78
one of the main things--the most
00:13:53.51\00:13:55.45
important things
that a person can do
00:13:55.46\00:13:57.57
is eat totally
plant based foods.
00:13:57.87\00:14:01.06
So here we go again. -
Here we go again, yeah.
00:14:01.12\00:14:03.27
Plant based foods,
so whole plant foods
00:14:03.36\00:14:06.36
eaten whole.
00:14:06.81\00:14:08.12
And... Now let's elaborate
00:14:08.57\00:14:10.51
a little bit on that, Doc.
00:14:10.52\00:14:12.12
You and I understand that,
00:14:12.36\00:14:13.87
but I'd like our
viewers to really understand
00:14:13.88\00:14:16.54
what you mean by whole
plant foods eaten whole.
00:14:17.00\00:14:21.33
That--really what I
hear you saying is that
00:14:21.78\00:14:24.42
we'll take let's say
00:14:24.66\00:14:26.87
what, zucchini
and eat it without
00:14:27.18\00:14:29.30
shredding the skin?
00:14:29.60\00:14:30.63
Or tell us what
you mean by that.
00:14:30.64\00:14:32.33
Well to take the whole plant
00:14:32.48\00:14:34.69
and make sure--well first of all
00:14:35.39\00:14:37.15
is this from a plant?
00:14:37.27\00:14:38.48
You know, we're
told you're supposed
00:14:38.54\00:14:40.72
to have three
servings of milk a day.
00:14:40.73\00:14:42.84
Well we don't have time to
00:14:43.57\00:14:45.06
talk about what
that does to you.
00:14:45.07\00:14:46.72
But--so...
00:14:47.39\00:14:49.48
Make sure that it
comes from a plant...
00:14:49.57\00:14:51.63
- So milk is not
from a plant obviously.
00:14:51.87\00:14:54.51
- Not usually. - Unless--
00:14:54.84\00:14:56.33
Unless it's soy milk!
00:14:56.36\00:14:57.81
- There we go again!
00:14:58.27\00:14:59.27
- Or one of the other
milks out there, but--
00:14:59.30\00:15:01.12
- But anyway so you're
eating the whole plant,
00:15:01.24\00:15:03.72
and you want to eat it whole.
00:15:04.69\00:15:06.30
And this is very
important because so often
00:15:06.31\00:15:08.54
we will take oil
from another plant,
00:15:09.03\00:15:12.03
and add it to our food.
00:15:12.09\00:15:13.30
And it's absorbed differently
00:15:13.36\00:15:14.39
than when it was
still in the fiber--
00:15:14.40\00:15:15.66
-Well olive oil...
Let's talk about olive oil
00:15:15.69\00:15:17.75
that's supposed to
be really good for you.
00:15:17.84\00:15:19.42
I was raised in an
Italian home. We have to have
00:15:19.63\00:15:22.12
olive oil in
everything it made us healthy.
00:15:22.27\00:15:24.39
Well you see,
Americans are eating
00:15:24.54\00:15:26.33
plus or minus
40 percent of their
00:15:26.42\00:15:28.57
calories from fat, way too much.
00:15:28.58\00:15:30.63
And so to add the
olive oil to that,
00:15:31.06\00:15:34.75
if you read far
enough you'll find that
00:15:35.30\00:15:38.33
that's not the way to go.
00:15:38.54\00:15:39.78
Well can we eat
the olives instead?
00:15:40.03\00:15:42.33
There we go. Whole plant
00:15:42.54\00:15:44.09
food--and olive,
yes-- eat it whole
00:15:44.10\00:15:46.21
and it's one fifth the calories.
00:15:46.36\00:15:47.42
Well what's the difference?
00:15:47.43\00:15:48.57
I eat the olive, I'm
getting the oil from it?
00:15:48.58\00:15:50.18
Because the oil is absorbed
and goes right into your cells.
00:15:50.48\00:15:53.78
Whatever oil you eat
will go back into the cells.
00:15:53.81\00:15:56.66
When it stays in the fiber
00:15:57.21\00:15:58.84
and it slowly...
00:15:59.39\00:16:01.06
taking--the calories are
00:16:01.51\00:16:03.12
slowly taken
out of those fibers,
00:16:03.13\00:16:05.21
then it doesn't turn the
00:16:05.57\00:16:06.78
cholesterol
mechanism on in the liver,
00:16:06.79\00:16:08.69
and so your
arteries start clearing out.
00:16:09.30\00:16:11.84
So this is
something that's important,
00:16:12.27\00:16:13.75
but let's get back to
the multiple sclerosis.
00:16:13.76\00:16:15.51
- Right, ok. But I had to
talk about that for a minute!
00:16:15.63\00:16:18.12
- Ok good.
00:16:18.18\00:16:19.36
The multiple sclerosis story
00:16:19.37\00:16:22.24
is that these wire now
don't have insulation on them,
00:16:22.69\00:16:26.12
and so her leg...
00:16:26.57\00:16:28.39
her left leg was
feeling like it was bound up.
00:16:28.72\00:16:32.12
And so it wasn't a cramp,
00:16:32.51\00:16:34.24
it was hard for
her to describe it.
00:16:34.25\00:16:36.51
But it was like something
had wrapped around it tight.
00:16:37.24\00:16:40.33
And for some of the
time that she was here,
00:16:40.75\00:16:43.03
it was getting less and less,
00:16:43.48\00:16:45.42
and for some of the
time while she was here
00:16:45.43\00:16:48.18
she wasn't experiencing that.
00:16:48.42\00:16:50.18
And that's got
to be some kind of a
00:16:50.63\00:16:52.54
change right there
at the cellular level.
00:16:52.55\00:16:54.66
And I don't think
the research that's
00:16:55.15\00:16:57.06
been done on it
shows why that would be,
00:16:57.07\00:16:59.06
but I would suggest...
00:16:59.36\00:17:00.63
that because we've
talked about this before,
00:17:01.48\00:17:03.60
when you eat the
whole plant foods
00:17:03.61\00:17:05.27
and you get the
prostaglandins...
00:17:05.78\00:17:07.69
- There's that word again!
00:17:08.57\00:17:10.03
-from the... when you
get the prostaglandins
00:17:10.57\00:17:13.42
from the fats that
are only from plants
00:17:14.00\00:17:16.42
it dilates the tiny
little blood vessels.
00:17:16.69\00:17:19.33
And when the tiny little
blood vessels are dilated up
00:17:20.06\00:17:23.42
we start seeing that those
00:17:24.18\00:17:25.84
nerves start
getting healthy again.
00:17:25.85\00:17:28.18
And we've seen it over and
over again with the diabetics.
00:17:28.39\00:17:31.54
And that's the same way that
00:17:32.66\00:17:35.00
we expect that to happen
within a certain length of time
00:17:35.81\00:17:38.84
for most of the diabetics.
00:17:39.39\00:17:40.69
But multiple sclerosis
we don't see it that often
00:17:41.24\00:17:43.75
and I hope that people
will be encouraged because
00:17:43.84\00:17:47.30
from the research
that's shown in real people.
00:17:47.75\00:17:52.63
They can go on 25, 30, 35 years,
00:17:53.18\00:17:57.09
and still be functioning.
00:17:57.48\00:17:58.72
and so you know,
I hope that more and
00:17:58.84\00:18:01.06
more people will
be willing to try this
00:18:01.07\00:18:03.24
You know I had a guest
call me and ask me, they said
00:18:03.78\00:18:06.27
Well how do you know that
the plant is better than meat?
00:18:06.54\00:18:10.21
And I said, Do you
live near any farms?
00:18:10.39\00:18:13.48
She said, Yes I do.
I said while drive by
00:18:13.51\00:18:15.54
take a look at the bull
00:18:15.75\00:18:17.36
out in the field, and tell
me what you see the bull eating?
00:18:17.72\00:18:21.00
She says, Oh I got it!
00:18:23.57\00:18:24.81
And here's a
bull, a healthy animal
00:18:25.06\00:18:27.21
that is strong
and he's eating grass!
00:18:27.39\00:18:30.48
Why would you want to eat
the bull rather than the grass?
00:18:31.09\00:18:34.45
Go right to the source!
Eat the grass--so to speak.
00:18:34.46\00:18:37.45
- Yeah and we're eating
the seeds from the grains,
00:18:37.84\00:18:41.21
and we're eating the
seeds from the legumes.
00:18:41.63\00:18:43.60
And if you look at
the world by and large,
00:18:44.00\00:18:45.87
that's where people
are getting their calories.
00:18:45.88\00:18:48.12
But coming back to the
multiple sclerosis thing...
00:18:48.42\00:18:52.27
Why should this turn around?
00:18:53.03\00:18:54.72
Well another
thing that happens when
00:18:55.12\00:18:57.57
we go over to the
plant based foods,
00:18:57.58\00:19:00.03
we get the immune system
00:19:01.06\00:19:03.63
starting to talk strait
00:19:04.45\00:19:07.27
to the different
cells that are involved,
00:19:07.69\00:19:09.54
and then the body is not
attacking itself. So this is
00:19:10.00\00:19:12.84
This is what they're saying,
this is probably a auto immune
00:19:13.27\00:19:16.51
process, and so
it would be in the
00:19:16.69\00:19:19.18
class with all the
other auto immune things.
00:19:19.19\00:19:22.21
But even so,
she's getting better,
00:19:22.60\00:19:24.69
I've spoken with
her, and obviously she's--
00:19:25.24\00:19:27.33
Yeah she was on about ten
00:19:27.34\00:19:28.39
different
medications when she came.
00:19:28.40\00:19:29.81
She wanted to get off of her
00:19:30.09\00:19:32.15
blood pressure medication
and her blood pressure
00:19:32.54\00:19:35.42
was very good today,
00:19:35.78\00:19:37.45
she's been off of it.
00:19:38.00\00:19:39.18
She wanted to get off of
some of the other medications
00:19:39.30\00:19:41.54
because she felt she should
in order to give herself...
00:19:42.00\00:19:44.27
and she's off about
half of her medications now.
00:19:44.57\00:19:46.78
She's on a very
special medication
00:19:47.33\00:19:49.42
which is very expensive,
00:19:50.36\00:19:52.00
it costs about a
thousand dollars a week!
00:19:52.01\00:19:54.54
But that medication makes her
00:19:54.87\00:19:56.84
feel like she's
got a really bad flu
00:19:56.85\00:19:59.24
every time she takes it.
00:19:59.51\00:20:01.03
So she would like
to get off of that
00:20:01.18\00:20:02.54
one and we're
hoping that she will.
00:20:02.55\00:20:03.84
And you're going
to follow up with her
00:20:04.30\00:20:06.09
- And so are you! - And so am I!
00:20:06.54\00:20:08.60
Yeah and so that's
exciting that we'll get
00:20:09.42\00:20:11.63
to follow along and
see what's happening.
00:20:11.64\00:20:13.75
And you know,
as we have more and
00:20:14.24\00:20:16.42
more of these
cases and as they do
00:20:16.43\00:20:18.60
well, we can
tell the other people,
00:20:18.84\00:20:20.81
Look, here's what's
happened in all these cases
00:20:21.06\00:20:23.36
and you can do
well as she has done.
00:20:23.81\00:20:26.36
So Doctor, I see once again
00:20:27.45\00:20:29.69
we have an individual that's
come to us regardless of the
00:20:30.27\00:20:33.27
problems that she's dealing with
00:20:33.48\00:20:35.27
she's off half
of her medications.
00:20:35.72\00:20:37.12
- Yes.
00:20:37.13\00:20:38.15
You know, I almost want to say--
and I'm a laymen not a doctor,
00:20:38.16\00:20:40.69
I want the viewers to know that,
00:20:40.70\00:20:42.12
Is this because people are given
00:20:44.12\00:20:46.06
pills that shouldn't
be given those pills?
00:20:46.07\00:20:48.45
No, and the thing is, is that
like this expensive medication
00:20:49.21\00:20:52.81
that is a help to her right now,
00:20:53.15\00:20:55.09
and she's in some
kind of remission.
00:20:55.33\00:20:57.72
But in the long term,
00:20:58.27\00:20:59.42
you know,
what's going to happen?
00:20:59.43\00:21:01.18
She needs to do the lifestyle
thing so the body doesn't keep
00:21:01.51\00:21:04.69
attacking itself, and we just
00:21:05.24\00:21:06.63
keep trying to
suppress them so they...
00:21:06.64\00:21:08.39
And that's the way so many
of the auto immune things are
00:21:08.78\00:21:11.57
and people have transplants,
00:21:11.78\00:21:13.39
it's better to
keep your own parts
00:21:13.54\00:21:15.39
because you always
have to do something.
00:21:15.40\00:21:17.45
Dr. Lukens we're
running out of time,
00:21:18.24\00:21:20.00
I want to thank you for
joining us in the studio.
00:21:20.01\00:21:22.21
- Thank you, I love
it. - See you next time.
00:21:22.39\00:21:23.75
And folks don't go
away because we have
00:21:24.18\00:21:26.63
an important
message for you in a moment.
00:21:26.64\00:21:29.24
Hello and welcome
to NEWSTART AT HOME,
00:21:44.30\00:21:46.09
I'm your host Don Mackintosh.
00:21:46.10\00:21:47.39
And we're glad today
to have in the studio
00:21:47.40\00:21:49.33
Dr. Neil Nedley
who's the president
00:21:49.34\00:21:50.84
of Weimar here. We're
glad that you're with us.
00:21:51.36\00:21:53.87
Thank you it's good to be here.
00:21:54.09\00:21:55.30
Now aside from being
the president you're also,
00:21:55.39\00:21:57.84
you know, a physician--
internal medicine specialist,
00:21:57.85\00:22:00.60
but you've also
developed a program
00:22:00.61\00:22:02.48
dealing with depression
and depression recovery.
00:22:02.49\00:22:05.00
Correct yes, it's
actually a program that
00:22:05.36\00:22:07.78
works well for
treatment resistent depression.
00:22:07.79\00:22:10.51
And that means that people
that have not responded well
00:22:11.24\00:22:13.87
to medications or counseling,
or other forms of therapy.
00:22:13.88\00:22:16.57
However people that
haven't been on medicines could
00:22:17.09\00:22:19.78
actually benefit from the
principles of the program.
00:22:19.79\00:22:22.54
You know we've
had patients that have
00:22:23.03\00:22:24.60
come through the
NEWSTART program here.
00:22:24.61\00:22:26.33
And the NEWSTART
program has you know,
00:22:26.34\00:22:28.03
all those different
elements of nutrition exercise,
00:22:28.04\00:22:30.21
and I could go
through the whole acronym, but
00:22:30.22\00:22:32.15
goes through
those elements and they
00:22:32.69\00:22:34.39
seem to improve even
here on this program.
00:22:34.40\00:22:36.27
Yes, that's right, they may come
00:22:36.45\00:22:38.30
here for heart
disease or obesity
00:22:38.31\00:22:40.12
and find out their depression
00:22:40.57\00:22:42.03
improves as a result
of the NEWSTART program.
00:22:42.04\00:22:44.12
So what is it
about those elements
00:22:44.72\00:22:47.06
that is helping
with their depression.
00:22:47.07\00:22:49.48
Well nutrition is what the first
N stands for, and there are some
00:22:49.87\00:22:53.81
nutritional
factors of a plant based
00:22:53.82\00:22:56.09
diet that can
significantly help depression.
00:22:56.10\00:22:58.66
A plant based diet will actually
improve brain serotonin levels,
00:22:59.12\00:23:03.63
brain dopamine levels,
and norepinephrine levels.
00:23:04.15\00:23:07.06
And those are the three
00:23:07.33\00:23:08.57
neuro-chemicals
that a lot of the
00:23:08.58\00:23:10.36
antidepressant pharmaceutical
00:23:10.37\00:23:11.87
companies are
trying to manipulate.
00:23:11.88\00:23:13.69
But you can actually manipulate
00:23:14.24\00:23:16.21
those through a
plant based diet.
00:23:16.22\00:23:18.24
So right here at
Weimar during the NEWSTART
00:23:18.42\00:23:20.36
program they can get
that. What about exercise?
00:23:20.37\00:23:22.39
Physical exercise also helps
dopamine levels in the brain,
00:23:22.87\00:23:26.33
and serotonin also goes up in
00:23:26.34\00:23:28.09
response to
vigorous physical exercise.
00:23:28.10\00:23:30.30
So if you're on a regular
00:23:31.00\00:23:32.33
exercise
program it'll take about
00:23:32.34\00:23:34.09
seven days to get those
00:23:34.10\00:23:35.30
neuro-chemicals
to start to move up,
00:23:35.31\00:23:37.15
just like it
takes antidepressants
00:23:37.33\00:23:39.18
about seven days
to start to work.
00:23:39.19\00:23:40.87
It will take about seven days
and the exercise program will
00:23:41.48\00:23:44.66
really start to kick in and the
00:23:44.67\00:23:46.39
individual's
mood will be enhanced.
00:23:46.40\00:23:48.27
Yeah, and you and I have seen
that working together in these
00:23:48.81\00:23:51.48
programs off site by the same
principles. What about water?
00:23:51.49\00:23:54.09
Water actually helps,
you know in fact those
00:23:54.63\00:23:56.87
neuro-chemicals move
through a water environment.
00:23:56.88\00:23:59.36
And so if we are well
hydrated we're more efficient,
00:24:00.24\00:24:02.60
as far as our
frontal lobe activity.
00:24:02.75\00:24:07.06
So adequate hydration is an
00:24:07.51\00:24:09.00
important part of
depression recovery.
00:24:09.01\00:24:10.87
So just go through the
rest we have, you know,
00:24:11.33\00:24:13.36
two and a half
minutes in this short segment,
00:24:13.37\00:24:15.33
but sunlight and temperance and
00:24:15.34\00:24:16.66
all those others,
just what are they?
00:24:16.67\00:24:18.30
Sunlight helps you
in a couple of ways,
00:24:18.51\00:24:20.21
it improves vitamin D
levels through the skin.
00:24:20.22\00:24:22.12
Vitamin D will then
improve your melatonin levels at
00:24:22.36\00:24:25.57
night so you'll get much more
restorative regenerating sleep.
00:24:25.58\00:24:29.33
And it also helps in the
00:24:29.87\00:24:31.42
daytime
particularly in the morning,
00:24:31.43\00:24:33.57
morning
sunlight, if it's blue sky,
00:24:33.58\00:24:35.69
and we have a lot of
blue sky here at Weimar.
00:24:35.70\00:24:38.39
That wavelength
of the blue actually
00:24:39.03\00:24:41.66
improves serotonin
levels significantly.
00:24:41.67\00:24:44.60
And it helps to
set the body clock.
00:24:45.09\00:24:46.48
So when you get your
00:24:46.49\00:24:47.69
sunlight in the morning,
00:24:47.70\00:24:48.84
you actually
sleep better at night.
00:24:48.85\00:24:50.54
Wow, so NEWSTART
environment itself,
00:24:51.24\00:24:53.60
that's what's causing
this turnaround in patients?
00:24:53.61\00:24:56.84
- Exactly. - Fresh air?
00:24:57.06\00:24:58.75
Fresh air has
negative ions, and negative
00:24:59.12\00:25:01.63
ions are produced by
pine trees, waterfalls,
00:25:01.64\00:25:04.33
the ocean surf,
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.03
And what we have
up here at Weimar,
00:25:06.36\00:25:08.45
not only some waterfalls,
but we also have wonderful pine
00:25:08.46\00:25:11.78
trees that emit a lot
of negative ions so when
00:25:11.79\00:25:14.54
you're just walking
the campus and the trails
00:25:14.55\00:25:17.18
you can take in some real good
00:25:17.60\00:25:19.36
deep breaths, and almost
feel your mood elevating,
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.75
and what's going on is those
00:25:22.76\00:25:24.45
negative ions are
coming into your lungs and
00:25:24.46\00:25:27.12
actually producing
some significant benefit.
00:25:27.13\00:25:29.63
Now we can't talk about rest,
00:25:30.24\00:25:31.69
but we could spend a
whole segment on that,
00:25:31.70\00:25:33.84
but you know
the last part of the
00:25:33.85\00:25:35.57
NEWSTART thing is
Trust in a Divine Power.
00:25:35.58\00:25:37.63
And is there
anything you want to say
00:25:37.64\00:25:39.51
about that in the
end of our segment?
00:25:39.52\00:25:41.36
Well actually that's a
scientific principle now,
00:25:41.54\00:25:44.54
it shows that
people that actually have a
00:25:44.55\00:25:47.12
belief system and apply that
belief system to their life,
00:25:47.13\00:25:50.60
recover from
depression remarkably sooner.
00:25:50.61\00:25:53.18
And so having a trust in
God and actually applying
00:25:53.72\00:25:57.84
that trust to your daily
activities and your daily life
00:25:57.85\00:26:02.36
enhances the
circulation of the frontal
00:26:02.84\00:26:05.15
lobe and that
actually improves depression.
00:26:05.16\00:26:07.54
Well thank you so much
for joining us Dr. Nedley.
00:26:08.09\00:26:10.75
And thank you
also for joining us.
00:26:10.76\00:26:12.63
I think that from this short
00:26:12.64\00:26:14.24
segment you've
found a lot of reasons
00:26:14.25\00:26:16.24
to call and learn more
about the NEWSTART program,
00:26:16.84\00:26:19.48
or more about the
depression recovery program,
00:26:19.78\00:26:22.15
and the same principles
are working in both of those.
00:26:22.16\00:26:24.66
And we soon plan to offer those
maybe even here on the campus,
00:26:25.27\00:26:28.30
the depression
recovery component,
00:26:28.31\00:26:29.81
isn't that right?
00:26:29.82\00:26:31.00
Absolutely, depression
recovery and other mental health
00:26:31.01\00:26:33.87
problems will
actually be able to
00:26:33.88\00:26:35.72
be enhanced by
coming to NEWSTART.
00:26:35.73\00:26:37.54
Want more information? Go to:
00:26:38.60\00:26:39.75
We're glad that you
joined us, and we hope that you
00:26:41.24\00:26:43.42
have a new start as a result
of watching today's segment.
00:26:43.43\00:26:45.78
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:53.45\00:26:56.06
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:56.09\00:26:58.48
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:26:59.15\00:27:02.45
our educational system today.
00:27:02.48\00:27:04.63
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:27:05.27\00:27:07.54
saw schools more like a factory,
00:27:08.00\00:27:09.81
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:27:09.82\00:27:12.57
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:27:12.60\00:27:14.57
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:15.12\00:27:17.57
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:17.58\00:27:20.42
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:20.57\00:27:23.06
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:23.15\00:27:25.60
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:25.84\00:27:28.39
long since passed.
00:27:28.40\00:27:29.78
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:31.15\00:27:34.39
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:34.48\00:27:38.48
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:38.75\00:27:41.21
Well friends
that's it for today.
00:27:54.45\00:27:56.12
In the meantime
give us a call at:
00:27:56.60\00:27:59.60
God bless you.
00:28:03.00\00:28:04.75
