Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:00:23.87\00:00:27.21
I've got an unusual
story here for you today,
00:00:27.69\00:00:30.54
one that we've
never seen before,
00:00:30.87\00:00:32.54
but, rather than me tell
you about it let's take a look
00:00:33.09\00:00:35.57
at when Rick first arrived here
00:00:35.81\00:00:37.75
at the NEWSTART
program at Weimar.
00:00:37.76\00:00:39.81
About nine months ago
00:00:41.45\00:00:43.03
began having
numbness in the feet,
00:00:43.18\00:00:45.27
and spread throughout my body.
00:00:45.28\00:00:47.09
With going from
doctor to doctor,
00:00:48.27\00:00:50.06
and no diagnosis, but
every test in the world.
00:00:50.24\00:00:54.18
So I came here looking
for answers, and not pills.
00:00:55.21\00:00:59.18
I never thought I
would ever come here,
00:00:59.63\00:01:01.42
I thought it was
for other people,
00:01:01.75\00:01:03.30
but here I am, and it's
where I should be right now.
00:01:03.51\00:01:07.69
Currently I'm on
several medications.
00:01:08.06\00:01:10.09
One to deaden
the nerve sensation,
00:01:10.84\00:01:13.18
and I've started to lose
00:01:13.19\00:01:14.66
strength, and
having quite a bit of
00:01:15.30\00:01:17.18
strength in the
shoulders right now.
00:01:17.19\00:01:19.06
I want to be where I
was before this started.
00:01:19.81\00:01:22.12
I've gained some weight
which I know doesn't help,
00:01:23.24\00:01:26.33
But the fatigue of
the illness has caused
00:01:27.45\00:01:29.48
some of that-- I'm
hoping with exercise and diet
00:01:29.49\00:01:31.78
that that will improve,
00:01:32.45\00:01:33.60
and I can continue
that on after I leave.
00:01:33.61\00:01:35.63
Well here we are
in the studio, Rick
00:01:37.42\00:01:39.42
thanks for
joining us. - My pleasure.
00:01:39.72\00:01:41.60
Good to see you.
00:01:41.72\00:01:42.87
And you know, I watch you
now and after talking with you,
00:01:43.30\00:01:47.00
you at one
point in your life was
00:01:47.45\00:01:49.36
a pretty husky
strong individual,
00:01:49.37\00:01:51.24
then all of a sudden,
you've lost your strength
00:01:51.69\00:01:54.00
you've had all these tests
00:01:54.48\00:01:56.30
nobody knows
what's going on with you.
00:01:56.75\00:01:59.00
Is that fair to say?
00:01:59.01\00:02:00.12
That's a very
fair assessment. - Ok.
00:02:00.30\00:02:02.27
So what possessed
you to choose to come
00:02:02.75\00:02:06.48
to the NEWSTART
program? Why here? Why not...
00:02:07.00\00:02:09.27
Why not Mayo clinic or someplace
00:02:09.54\00:02:12.36
where they can really
analyze what's going on?
00:02:12.69\00:02:15.15
I thought I had gone through
all those kinds of testing,
00:02:15.72\00:02:19.15
and diagnosis, trying, and
the prescription drugs, and
00:02:19.60\00:02:23.39
I wasn't really
enthusiastic about
00:02:24.15\00:02:26.30
continuing on that path
and I was ready to take a...
00:02:26.31\00:02:29.36
you might say, a time out.
00:02:29.78\00:02:30.87
Yes. - and try
something different.
00:02:31.24\00:02:33.45
And they put you on
different medications, to try
00:02:34.00\00:02:37.39
actually to see
if they would in fact
00:02:37.84\00:02:40.75
change your situation I guess
00:02:41.15\00:02:42.57
that's what they
do, practice medicine.
00:02:42.58\00:02:44.48
I think my body was
00:02:44.87\00:02:46.27
speaking loud volumes and they
wanted to put a muffler on it.
00:02:46.66\00:02:49.48
They were trying to silence
00:02:49.81\00:02:51.75
what I think my body was
trying to tell me at the time.
00:02:52.18\00:02:54.75
Yes.
00:02:55.18\00:02:56.30
You described
to me that you were
00:02:56.72\00:02:59.09
unable just to even hug somebody
00:02:59.10\00:03:01.21
you couldn't lift your arms.
00:03:01.57\00:03:03.18
I couldn't lift
my arms much above my
00:03:03.60\00:03:06.48
waist level.
00:03:07.81\00:03:08.84
It caused extreme pain.
Putting a suit jacket on was
00:03:09.42\00:03:12.81
nearly impossible.
00:03:13.36\00:03:14.66
And the strength
was draining quickly,
00:03:15.21\00:03:17.57
I could tell I
was losing that fast.
00:03:17.58\00:03:19.75
What do they
call this situation?
00:03:20.45\00:03:23.06
- I'm at a loss to
tell you what it is,
00:03:24.81\00:03:27.78
the neuropathy was
00:03:28.33\00:03:29.81
numbness of the body,
but the strength loss,
00:03:30.21\00:03:33.75
the pain,
00:03:34.30\00:03:35.66
and the loss of mobility
00:03:36.72\00:03:39.00
wasn't anything that
anyone else could explain,
00:03:39.51\00:03:42.66
except for pain medication
00:03:42.67\00:03:44.42
deaden this, try
a cortisone shots
00:03:44.87\00:03:47.69
different things that really...
00:03:48.36\00:03:50.06
if they did
anything it was a temporary
00:03:50.07\00:03:52.12
adjustment but
it came right back.
00:03:52.57\00:03:54.27
Ok, so now you're here,
00:03:54.81\00:03:56.57
at the NEWSTART program you've
00:03:57.00\00:03:59.06
been here 17
days, what's changed?
00:03:59.07\00:04:01.27
I think, my life turned upside
00:04:03.09\00:04:04.66
down is a pretty
easy way to state it.
00:04:04.67\00:04:06.66
From diet to
exercise to drinking so much
00:04:07.42\00:04:09.48
water I thought I was
going to float away at first
00:04:09.49\00:04:12.00
but,
00:04:13.03\00:04:14.06
yeah everything in my
life is different here
00:04:15.03\00:04:18.63
I think outside this
00:04:19.54\00:04:22.12
wonderful place is a life that
was taking me down a road where
00:04:23.24\00:04:27.66
I was in trouble. And...
00:04:28.63\00:04:31.21
being here has made a huge
00:04:32.00\00:04:33.30
difference in just a
very short amount of time.
00:04:33.31\00:04:35.54
You said to me just
before we went on air that
00:04:36.18\00:04:39.45
you've had all these tests,
00:04:39.87\00:04:41.69
and all these tests mean
to me probably 25 or 30...
00:04:42.24\00:04:45.78
Blood tests that
even sometimes the
00:04:46.81\00:04:48.27
people at the
clinics were saying,
00:04:48.28\00:04:49.54
I don't even know where
00:04:49.55\00:04:50.52
we're supposed
to send this test.
00:04:50.53\00:04:51.66
-Yes. - Spinal
taps, MRIs, Cat Scans.
00:04:51.81\00:04:55.27
Over and over and
over, to the point where,
00:04:56.12\00:04:58.54
the neurologist, or
the doctors basically said
00:04:58.81\00:05:01.57
I really don't know what to say,
00:05:02.12\00:05:04.06
maybe we should
try somebody else.
00:05:04.48\00:05:06.42
So I was almost
feeling like I was being
00:05:06.87\00:05:09.30
left adrift
00:05:09.75\00:05:11.27
in a sense in the
medical system because
00:05:11.42\00:05:13.36
there wasn't a
quick and easy solution.
00:05:13.37\00:05:15.24
- Yes.
00:05:15.36\00:05:16.36
And so in all these tests,
00:05:16.60\00:05:18.81
no one ever analyzed
your blood for a deficiency
00:05:19.36\00:05:24.24
as far as nutrition,
vitamins, minerals, etc.
00:05:24.69\00:05:28.42
Never came up.
00:05:29.21\00:05:30.24
Never did the question come up,
00:05:30.48\00:05:32.06
How much
exercise are you getting?
00:05:32.07\00:05:33.60
Never came up, How
much hydration are you
00:05:33.81\00:05:37.54
getting involved with each day?
00:05:38.09\00:05:40.33
Those kind of questions
came out very quickly here.
00:05:40.78\00:05:43.36
Here they just came out
right? Just a matter of...
00:05:43.63\00:05:45.84
- Minutes, when those
questions were coming up.
00:05:46.24\00:05:49.03
- Boom, boom,
just like that. - Yeah.
00:05:49.06\00:05:50.66
And so you discovered
that you were not only
00:05:51.03\00:05:54.78
low in a vitamin called B12,
00:05:55.09\00:05:58.45
also vitamin D,
which is pretty common
00:05:58.63\00:06:03.06
at this juncture in our country.
00:06:03.51\00:06:06.69
It certainly is here at the
00:06:07.24\00:06:09.33
NEWSTART-- or on
the Weimar Campus.
00:06:09.34\00:06:11.84
Most of us on campus,
00:06:12.42\00:06:13.72
when we were tested
last year were low in both
00:06:14.06\00:06:16.69
B12 and D.
00:06:17.09\00:06:18.54
So tell us what else has
transpired with regards to that?
00:06:19.00\00:06:22.42
What did you do about it?
00:06:22.72\00:06:23.84
Well once we figured
out what level I was at
00:06:24.00\00:06:27.72
I've gotten some B12 shots
00:06:28.15\00:06:30.09
I've been taking
some supplements,
00:06:30.10\00:06:32.51
and the diet change
obviously was a big part of that
00:06:33.18\00:06:35.66
No fat, raw foods eaten whole
00:06:36.81\00:06:39.66
Right! That is I think
00:06:39.84\00:06:41.51
pretty well understood here
00:06:41.52\00:06:43.30
And... is...
00:06:43.57\00:06:45.33
kind of the
motto, I think is of...
00:06:45.60\00:06:47.48
Was it-- all the foods
you ate were they all raw?
00:06:47.57\00:06:50.03
No they were cooked,
I've had terrific lasagna,
00:06:50.48\00:06:54.48
had mexican food today that we
00:06:54.78\00:06:56.42
actually helped
prepare ourselves today...
00:06:56.43\00:06:58.48
Yes! - our last day
00:06:58.60\00:07:00.12
at the campus here.
00:07:00.13\00:07:01.42
Ah, that's wonderful.
00:07:01.66\00:07:03.00
And so what part
of this entire program
00:07:03.75\00:07:07.72
do you think had
the most effect on you?
00:07:08.24\00:07:11.81
Wow, I don't know
that I could answer
00:07:14.36\00:07:16.48
that in that
respect, I would say that
00:07:16.49\00:07:18.57
I got here
00:07:19.15\00:07:20.24
for a... number of...
00:07:20.69\00:07:22.24
I would say a
cocktail of reasons.
00:07:22.25\00:07:24.54
And...
00:07:25.09\00:07:26.63
And multiple
solutions have come up.
00:07:27.18\00:07:29.18
So they're all to me
equally grounded for me
00:07:29.69\00:07:33.15
as a solution of the
challenges that I have.
00:07:33.42\00:07:36.36
If you were to teach--
00:07:37.45\00:07:39.00
let's say you went back
home and you found someone
00:07:39.18\00:07:41.30
who had a similar condition,
00:07:41.57\00:07:42.75
what would you tell
them? How would you--
00:07:42.76\00:07:44.51
how would you coach
them back to health?
00:07:44.87\00:07:47.51
Well first I'd hopefully
be a good example to them,
00:07:48.69\00:07:51.45
as a coach I
would be a player coach.
00:07:51.46\00:07:53.39
You know, the exercise I
think was the start for me,
00:07:53.63\00:07:57.66
sometimes I don't
think we realize how
00:07:58.18\00:08:00.45
out of shape we are
until we actually exercise.
00:08:00.60\00:08:03.54
The hydration is just one of
those things you just have to do
00:08:05.42\00:08:08.27
and we all have
different techniques,
00:08:09.03\00:08:11.51
I've found that
drinking a lot of
00:08:11.87\00:08:13.51
water in the
morning before exercise
00:08:13.52\00:08:15.24
got my engine
started better than
00:08:15.69\00:08:17.39
trying to drink
it later in the day.
00:08:17.40\00:08:19.18
And the diet... it
comes natural here.
00:08:19.81\00:08:23.24
It's an easy place to start
to learn the vegan diet versus
00:08:23.39\00:08:27.36
sampling or something else,
00:08:27.81\00:08:29.33
this is a good
experience for that.
00:08:29.34\00:08:31.21
You taste buds change.
It doesn't take very long.
00:08:31.84\00:08:35.12
So do you feel
that this is a lifestyle
00:08:36.51\00:08:40.24
that you can easily
live when you get home?
00:08:40.69\00:08:43.87
I think it will have it's
00:08:45.18\00:08:46.51
challenges but I
think if you're determined
00:08:46.52\00:08:48.78
because you know
where you came from,
00:08:49.36\00:08:51.24
and now you're
knowing where you're heading.
00:08:51.25\00:08:53.36
There's a lot
of-- how shall we say--
00:08:53.78\00:08:55.87
momentum as you leave
these doors, this campus,
00:08:55.88\00:08:58.48
that we hope to continue.
00:08:59.06\00:09:00.24
I don't suppose
it's going to be easy,
00:09:01.06\00:09:03.60
but it didn't take overnight
for me to get here either.
00:09:04.21\00:09:07.66
I would imagine it will be
00:09:08.21\00:09:09.51
still a
challenge... it should be.
00:09:09.52\00:09:11.24
It's taken 20 or 30 years for
me to get to where I'm at today,
00:09:12.57\00:09:16.00
I know I've got a
journey to get back.
00:09:16.45\00:09:18.45
And so... the medications that
00:09:19.21\00:09:21.33
you're taking
are you still taking
00:09:21.34\00:09:23.66
all these medications?
00:09:24.18\00:09:25.36
No, the nerve dampening drugs
00:09:25.60\00:09:29.72
I'm taking none, zero,
when I was taking 6-8 a day.
00:09:30.42\00:09:34.00
My blood pressure
medication has been reduced,
00:09:35.57\00:09:38.27
and several of my
tests are definitely
00:09:38.72\00:09:41.09
moving in the big
direction that I wanted,
00:09:41.10\00:09:43.51
it... even... some of them
have dramatically decreased.
00:09:43.84\00:09:47.42
I actually did the calculations,
00:09:48.09\00:09:49.45
cause I just got
the tests today, but
00:09:49.46\00:09:51.06
one of the areas in
00:09:51.45\00:09:53.03
triglycerides
when down 77 percent
00:09:53.04\00:09:55.54
from when I
started it two weeks, so
00:09:55.69\00:09:57.69
I was pretty pleased.
00:09:58.06\00:09:59.18
That's
incredible. That's incredible.
00:09:59.21\00:10:01.69
Well Rick, I
want to thank you for
00:10:02.24\00:10:04.30
coming on the set with us,
and giving us your testimony
00:10:04.75\00:10:07.75
and hopefully
inspiring someone out there.
00:10:08.00\00:10:10.30
- I hope so. -
Thank you so much.
00:10:10.48\00:10:11.69
- Thanks you. - God Bless you.
00:10:11.72\00:10:13.27
And folks thank

00:10:17.43\00:10:19.33
Well, you've done very well.
00:10:20.84\00:10:22.57
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:29.00\00:10:30.27
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:30.28\00:10:32.36
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:32.81\00:10:34.21
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:35.09\00:10:37.78
about our 18-day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:37.79\00:10:40.75
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:41.48\00:10:44.21
with laboratory studies
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:44.22\00:10:47.51
physician consultations,
00:10:48.06\00:10:49.69
culinary school,
00:10:50.42\00:10:51.60
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:52.15\00:10:55.09
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:55.10\00:10:57.09
Your health is one of the most
00:10:59.15\00:11:00.57
important things
that you have. Don't wait.
00:11:00.58\00:11:02.60

00:11:07.84\00:11:09.18
Welcome back
friends, and in our studio...
00:11:27.18\00:11:29.30
Dr. DeRose, How are you sir?
00:11:29.72\00:11:32.27
It's always good to see you.
00:11:32.45\00:11:33.66
Good to be here with you Ron.
00:11:33.78\00:11:35.18
Yes, and I want to talk about
00:11:35.27\00:11:36.87
this particular
individual because
00:11:36.88\00:11:38.75
you know,
00:11:39.36\00:11:40.42
when he told me that he
00:11:40.51\00:11:42.18
couldn't even lift
his hands this much
00:11:42.19\00:11:44.69
to hug his wife or
whoever-- his children,
00:11:45.21\00:11:48.72
and now he's got
most of his mobility back.
00:11:49.54\00:11:53.00
What's going on?
I've never heard of this.
00:11:53.57\00:11:56.60
Well I mean as
Rick shared his story
00:11:56.81\00:11:59.45
his situation was
really befuddling, I mean it
00:11:59.78\00:12:03.51
It perplexed the neurologist,
00:12:04.18\00:12:06.00
it perplexed the
other doctors he saw.
00:12:06.18\00:12:08.15
And I'm not going to
tell you he showed up
00:12:08.16\00:12:10.24
here at NEWSTART
and I looked at him, and
00:12:10.63\00:12:12.63
I said-- - No don't say that!
00:12:12.72\00:12:14.39
and all of a sudden a couple
of visits and he was healed!
00:12:16.06\00:12:19.06
No I know you're
not going to say that.
00:12:19.12\00:12:20.75
Yeah, and I didn't-- to be
00:12:20.81\00:12:21.81
honest with you
the diagnosis was
00:12:21.82\00:12:23.09
perplexing to me
as well. I mean I'm
00:12:23.24\00:12:24.60
trained as an
internal medicine specialist,
00:12:24.78\00:12:26.69
I also have my boards
in preventive medicine.
00:12:26.70\00:12:28.69
And general internists we're
trained to question things,
00:12:29.12\00:12:32.21
to analyze things, to try to
00:12:32.22\00:12:33.66
turn over every stone, so
00:12:33.87\00:12:35.51
we even looked at a number of
00:12:35.75\00:12:37.75
other conditions
other possibilities.
00:12:38.06\00:12:40.30
And like Rick shared,
00:12:40.39\00:12:41.45
a couple of the
things we looked at
00:12:41.46\00:12:43.18
are two vitamins
that can affect nerve and
00:12:43.54\00:12:46.27
muscle function,
vitamin D and vitamin B12.
00:12:46.28\00:12:49.03
I'm not going to say
that was the whole problem.
00:12:49.39\00:12:52.12
- You just don't know.
00:12:52.30\00:12:53.45
Yeah, so there was
a lot going on, and
00:12:53.54\00:12:55.75
the interesting thing
I've found over the years Ron,
00:12:56.00\00:12:58.48
is the Lord lays
our pride in the dust
00:12:59.03\00:13:01.54
even as physicians.
You know as a profession
00:13:01.63\00:13:04.39
we don't have
the best reputation
00:13:04.63\00:13:06.75
for being humble
mild mannered folks!
00:13:06.76\00:13:09.15
- No...! - Really!
00:13:09.21\00:13:10.54
And when you're
working with the Lord though
00:13:10.57\00:13:13.57
I mean he does this
to you! I mean he sends
00:13:13.81\00:13:15.78
people like Rick, and
I don't walk out saying,
00:13:15.81\00:13:18.24
Hey I'm the genius doctor,
00:13:18.25\00:13:19.51
you know, no one
else could figure it out!
00:13:19.57\00:13:21.39
You know, I'm
like the rest of them,
00:13:22.18\00:13:23.72
saying you know we've got
all these pieces in the puzzle,
00:13:23.73\00:13:26.18
they don't fit completely.
00:13:26.39\00:13:27.69
And the Lord did
help us find some things
00:13:28.09\00:13:30.72
that were obvious that could be
treated or could be fine tuned.
00:13:30.75\00:13:34.30
But often what happens
Ron, in these situations where
00:13:34.75\00:13:37.48
people have difficult problems
that are perplexing physicians,
00:13:37.49\00:13:40.54
we say, Look
00:13:40.78\00:13:41.81
the Lord has
given us enough wisdom
00:13:41.87\00:13:43.81
about how the body works.
00:13:44.24\00:13:45.66
We're just going
to help this person
00:13:45.84\00:13:48.00
if nothing else, get
on an optimum lifestyle.
00:13:48.21\00:13:51.09
And it's amazing
to me, because over
00:13:51.54\00:13:53.48
the years I've
seen this many times,
00:13:53.49\00:13:55.39
where I may not know
exactly what the patient needs,
00:13:55.72\00:13:59.42
but by God's grace He's given us
00:13:59.72\00:14:01.66
an experience in
places like Weimar
00:14:01.67\00:14:03.72
where we say, Look we know these
00:14:04.09\00:14:05.72
things from the
Bible, from science.
00:14:05.73\00:14:07.57
These are healing principles
whether it's the water drinking,
00:14:07.75\00:14:10.63
the exercise,
the water, the diet.
00:14:10.81\00:14:12.45
We're going to help the
00:14:12.75\00:14:14.00
person get on
that kind of program.
00:14:14.01\00:14:15.66
And the Lord seems
to add sometimes just
00:14:16.18\00:14:17.87
really supernatural
blessings to that whole process.
00:14:17.88\00:14:20.18
And I've seen that
time and time again,
00:14:20.78\00:14:23.51
I think of an
individual like him
00:14:23.84\00:14:25.42
and other people
that I've interviewed,
00:14:25.43\00:14:27.18
Where they've been all
over the country getting
00:14:27.57\00:14:31.03
tests, and this and that,
00:14:31.30\00:14:33.24
and nobody could
figure anything out.
00:14:33.51\00:14:35.33
And they come here to a
00:14:35.45\00:14:37.06
little country
place in the hills
00:14:37.07\00:14:39.21
in California,
00:14:39.66\00:14:40.81
and they see a physician
that with the Lord's grace,
00:14:41.24\00:14:45.57
and you said it, one thing we do
00:14:46.12\00:14:48.27
have here in God
is alive and well
00:14:48.28\00:14:50.45
and working on all of us.
00:14:50.66\00:14:52.18
And not just the
guests that come here, I think
00:14:52.63\00:14:55.36
I see visually
00:14:55.51\00:14:57.18
from day to day
how he works on the
00:14:57.57\00:15:00.39
doctors how he
works on the staff,
00:15:00.40\00:15:03.06
and what a blessing.
00:15:03.63\00:15:05.03
Oh, no, and it's incredible,
00:15:05.21\00:15:06.51
and I think that's what many
people throughout medical lines
00:15:06.63\00:15:10.24
are starting to
realize has been missing in
00:15:10.30\00:15:12.24
the Western medical
system, and this is not just
00:15:12.25\00:15:14.36
a Christian
phenomena, you talk with
00:15:14.57\00:15:16.48
people who are
atheist, and agnostic,
00:15:16.49\00:15:18.36
And they're
talking about restoring
00:15:18.72\00:15:20.84
the human
element to medical care.
00:15:20.85\00:15:22.87
They're speaking about spiritual
health and whole person health,
00:15:23.12\00:15:27.12
and holism, and you
hear these kind of words.
00:15:27.45\00:15:29.63
And then you go to
the national institutes
00:15:29.75\00:15:31.66
of health and you
start looking at their data,
00:15:31.67\00:15:33.72
and they're saying, Americans
are saying, We're basically
00:15:34.24\00:15:37.30
tired with just using
conventional medical approaches.
00:15:37.60\00:15:40.57
More and more people,
00:15:41.12\00:15:42.12
the vast majority
of Americans today
00:15:42.13\00:15:43.66
are using what are labeled
00:15:43.81\00:15:45.24
complimentary and
alternative medical approaches.
00:15:45.25\00:15:47.66
So people are saying, Look
00:15:48.12\00:15:49.39
it's not just the pills,
00:15:49.57\00:15:50.75
it's not just the
high-tech diagnosis.
00:15:50.76\00:15:52.57
We're not minimizing
00:15:52.75\00:15:54.27
the fact that these
things can be valuable,
00:15:54.48\00:15:56.54
but it's clearly
not the whole picture.
00:15:56.69\00:15:58.60
Now I have to
ask you this because
00:15:59.21\00:16:01.03
it's rare that I
hear one of our guests say
00:16:01.12\00:16:04.03
that the doctor gave me a
shot of B12 or D or whatever.
00:16:04.33\00:16:08.36
We don't
generally, is it fair to say,
00:16:08.81\00:16:11.72
treat our guests with
00:16:12.30\00:16:14.42
nutritional supplements?
00:16:14.84\00:16:16.45
Well, the focus here at Weimar
00:16:17.21\00:16:19.60
the NEWSTART program
is a lifestyle program.
00:16:19.72\00:16:22.45
So we're trying to help
them get on a better lifestyle.
00:16:22.51\00:16:25.15
At the same time I have
an obligation as a physician
00:16:25.60\00:16:28.24
to help my patients
00:16:28.45\00:16:29.75
make as much progress
as quickly as they can.
00:16:30.06\00:16:32.36
And B12 is a great example.
00:16:32.60\00:16:34.42
If someone comes in
with a very low B12 level,
00:16:34.63\00:16:37.78
or a level that's low
enough to be causing symptoms,
00:16:38.18\00:16:42.09
there's no reason for us to
say, Look, you can gradually
00:16:42.30\00:16:45.57
you know,
improve this over months
00:16:45.84\00:16:47.78
by taking an oral supplement,
00:16:48.09\00:16:49.63
when we can give an injection,
00:16:49.81\00:16:52.00
and rapidly
raise that B12 level.
00:16:52.01\00:16:54.21
So really, if something needs
00:16:54.48\00:16:57.33
I mean you're
right, it's unusual,
00:16:57.45\00:16:59.27
we're not giving
a lot of shots here.
00:16:59.28\00:17:01.18
But if someone can benefit
00:17:01.39\00:17:03.12
from an
injection, usually-- I don't
00:17:03.30\00:17:05.27
remember exactly the
dialog that I had with Rick.
00:17:05.28\00:17:07.81
But I'll often talk with
the patient about it, I'm not
00:17:08.12\00:17:10.39
I don't say, you know, You stay
00:17:10.66\00:17:12.06
here we're going
to give you a shot.
00:17:12.07\00:17:13.51
But I explain
00:17:13.81\00:17:15.42
what I'm thinking,
and if they want the shot,
00:17:15.54\00:17:17.66
you know, we'd
give them the shot.
00:17:17.75\00:17:19.03
If a person said, You
know what, I hate shots,
00:17:19.04\00:17:21.09
I can't stand needles,
00:17:21.30\00:17:22.75
I just want to take
oral, even if it takes
00:17:23.00\00:17:24.69
longer-- I mean I'm
going to respect that.
00:17:24.70\00:17:26.42
- Right.
00:17:26.51\00:17:27.54
Now during our blood draws,
00:17:27.72\00:17:29.30
which everyone goes through,
00:17:29.36\00:17:31.12
most everyone
except for maybe that
00:17:31.13\00:17:33.21
individual that says
I can't stand needles.
00:17:33.60\00:17:35.69
Do we check for
B12 and D deficiencies?
00:17:36.81\00:17:39.87
We do a general
broad panel that looks--
00:17:40.15\00:17:42.72
- Which includes those?
00:17:42.78\00:17:43.81
It actually does not
include. The standard panel
00:17:43.82\00:17:46.51
we do does not include
vitamin B12 and vitamin D.
00:17:46.52\00:17:49.18
For example if someone comes in
00:17:49.63\00:17:52.15
and I don't have any questions
about their vitamin D status,
00:17:52.36\00:17:55.06
they live in a more southern
00:17:55.07\00:17:56.24
place in the United States,
00:17:56.54\00:17:58.27
that may not seem so pressing,
00:17:58.57\00:18:00.39
and we probably
wouldn't measure that.
00:18:00.63\00:18:02.66
It's because of
you're knowledge,
00:18:03.03\00:18:04.63
you're instinctiveness was it?
00:18:04.64\00:18:06.06
Yeah, I mean it is basically,
it's a clinical judgment.
00:18:06.21\00:18:09.33
What we've tried to do Ron is
00:18:09.78\00:18:11.63
even though someone might look
at the price of a program here,
00:18:12.18\00:18:14.72
they might say,
Well that's you know
00:18:14.73\00:18:16.24
costs, you know it's
some investment to come here,
00:18:16.63\00:18:19.18
we've tried to keep that price,
00:18:19.45\00:18:21.06
as low as possible.
00:18:21.33\00:18:22.33
And if someone
really does the math,
00:18:22.36\00:18:23.72
we have business people
that come all the time here,
00:18:23.73\00:18:25.72
they say, You know what,
00:18:25.87\00:18:27.06
I don't know how you're
00:18:27.30\00:18:28.60
delivering this much
in the way of services
00:18:28.61\00:18:31.09
for the kind of
price you're paying--
00:18:31.21\00:18:32.75
the kind of price
I'm paying as a patient.
00:18:33.15\00:18:35.72
And really we've
got a group of staff
00:18:35.87\00:18:38.30
here who could be
making a lot more money
00:18:38.31\00:18:40.78
in other settings.
00:18:41.00\00:18:42.09
This is not a place where
people come to work to get rich.
00:18:42.12\00:18:44.39
- Right.
00:18:44.40\00:18:45.37
And so we're
working to discount the
00:18:45.38\00:18:47.39
professional
staff, the whole team,
00:18:47.40\00:18:49.36
and we're able then
00:18:49.69\00:18:51.42
to offer programs
much more cost effective.
00:18:51.60\00:18:53.87
How this ties in
with the lab work,
00:18:54.12\00:18:55.81
We try to do a
fairly comprehensive
00:18:56.24\00:18:58.33
lab panel when people come in,
00:18:58.34\00:19:00.12
but that's got to be included
in the price of the program.
00:19:00.27\00:19:02.75
So we don't
just run every single
00:19:03.33\00:19:05.51
test in the book
when we draw that blood,
00:19:05.52\00:19:08.18
but we do as
physicians, when we see
00:19:08.54\00:19:12.18
individual patients we say, Look
00:19:12.33\00:19:14.15
we might-- we think you would
00:19:14.36\00:19:15.75
benefit from an
extra test or something,
00:19:15.76\00:19:17.66
then that's something that
can be added at that point.
00:19:18.15\00:19:20.51
- But you hit the nail
right on the head here.
00:19:20.72\00:19:22.81
You hit the nail
right on the head
00:19:23.36\00:19:24.81
when you said,
00:19:25.18\00:19:26.48
Let's check the
B12, lets check the D
00:19:26.66\00:19:29.09
and he was low in both,
00:19:29.33\00:19:30.69
and you've given him shots now,
00:19:30.87\00:19:32.81
and maybe that's attributed to
this turnaround, I don't know.
00:19:33.21\00:19:37.39
Well, I mean the Lord
works through natural law,
00:19:37.48\00:19:40.87
but he also
works supernaturally.
00:19:41.06\00:19:42.87
And so you know, we pray
00:19:43.15\00:19:44.66
that God would guide us,
as I pray with the patients,
00:19:44.72\00:19:47.21
I'm praying that God
would guide us collectively.
00:19:47.22\00:19:49.42
I typically,
00:19:49.69\00:19:50.81
you know I'm asking, If we're
00:19:50.82\00:19:52.36
missing something
Lord, direct us to that.
00:19:52.37\00:19:54.42
So we look at
this as a partnership.
00:19:54.63\00:19:56.78
I'm sure glad that it
00:19:56.87\00:19:58.21
doesn't all
rest on my shoulders,
00:19:58.22\00:20:00.12
there's a great Physician
who's active here at Weimar
00:20:00.33\00:20:02.81
and we have the privilege
of cooperating with Him.
00:20:03.12\00:20:05.03
Amen.
00:20:05.21\00:20:06.45
Now what else? Rick--
00:20:06.60\00:20:09.03
it's really
exciting to see him change.
00:20:09.09\00:20:12.09
What else can you tell us
that he's gone through here?
00:20:12.39\00:20:15.21
Well you know, I
think one of the other
00:20:15.33\00:20:16.84
things that he mentioned
00:20:17.24\00:20:18.57
that's very
powerful is the water...
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.45
hydration.
00:20:20.78\00:20:22.12
You know, a lot of people
00:20:22.39\00:20:24.12
sometimes look at these
simple remedies and they say--
00:20:24.21\00:20:26.75
In fact I'll tell you
some years ago I had a patient
00:20:26.87\00:20:29.36
where I shared with
him a simple remedy,
00:20:29.72\00:20:31.66
and I didn't
know it at the time,
00:20:32.03\00:20:33.30
but he basically
after I left the room
00:20:33.75\00:20:36.18
I mean he said you know,
00:20:36.51\00:20:37.78
What kind of a
stupid thing is that?
00:20:37.79\00:20:39.63
I've got all these problems--
00:20:39.81\00:20:41.27
- And he wants
me to drink water!
00:20:41.48\00:20:42.63
- Yeah, how is
this going to help me?
00:20:42.69\00:20:43.84
You know often these
things look so simple
00:20:44.09\00:20:46.30
but they're powerful.
00:20:46.45\00:20:47.51
And it's really just helping us
00:20:47.75\00:20:49.63
to restore our
physiology, bringing our
00:20:49.75\00:20:52.24
physiology back in
harmony with natural law,
00:20:52.25\00:20:54.84
and this allows
00:20:55.30\00:20:56.72
to cooperate with God
in the healing process.
00:20:56.81\00:20:59.60
Instead of praying--
I mean it's crazy Ron,
00:20:59.72\00:21:02.15
but there are
millions of Christians
00:21:02.33\00:21:04.15
today who are
praying for God's healing,
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.09
and then they're
living in such a way
00:21:06.24\00:21:08.06
that they're
undermining their health.
00:21:08.24\00:21:10.03
It doesn't make any sense!
00:21:10.15\00:21:12.12
- It doesn't
make any sense at all.
00:21:12.15\00:21:13.45
Well that's about it for
now, we're running out of time.
00:21:14.60\00:21:17.42
I want to thank you
for coming into the studio
00:21:17.63\00:21:20.21
it's always a
pleasure to chat with you.
00:21:20.48\00:21:22.24
Great to be with you Ron.
00:21:22.27\00:21:23.45
And friends
thank you, but don't go
00:21:23.60\00:21:25.24
away-- we have an
important message for you.
00:21:25.25\00:21:27.18
Welcome to NEWSTART AT HOME.
00:21:41.87\00:21:43.24
I'm your host
today, Dr. David DeRose,
00:21:43.48\00:21:45.81
and with me registered
dietician Hildelisa Flickinger.
00:21:46.06\00:21:49.63
Hildelisa it's great
to have you with us today.
00:21:49.75\00:21:51.78
Thank you, glad to be here.
00:21:52.00\00:21:53.30
Hildelisa people today as we've
talked about in past broadcasts
00:21:53.48\00:21:58.12
really have concerns many
of them with putting on weight.
00:21:58.24\00:22:01.51
Is this as big a problem
as many people think it is?
00:22:02.06\00:22:05.21
Definitely, we have an
00:22:05.51\00:22:06.81
obesity crisis
in our country today
00:22:06.82\00:22:08.87
and in light of that
00:22:09.33\00:22:10.45
there's no
shortage of diets is there?
00:22:10.69\00:22:13.39
No there's not, and what
00:22:13.78\00:22:15.15
we're really
trying to do today is
00:22:15.16\00:22:16.81
look at something
really practical that
00:22:17.30\00:22:19.30
someone could do just in
a few minutes if they can
00:22:19.31\00:22:21.72
catch an idea of this
00:22:22.12\00:22:23.48
so called volumetrics concept,
00:22:23.66\00:22:26.72
we believe it can
make a big difference.
00:22:27.06\00:22:29.12
What is this talk
about volumetrics?
00:22:29.30\00:22:31.78
Well that is from a study
from Penn State University
00:22:32.33\00:22:36.06
and it taps into a
concept that I believe the
00:22:36.30\00:22:39.36
NEWSTART here at Weimar
Center for Health and Education
00:22:39.37\00:22:43.06
have known for years
00:22:43.30\00:22:44.48
and that is, that if
you eat foods that are
00:22:44.66\00:22:47.60
less in energy density
00:22:47.81\00:22:49.81
you'll lose weight.
00:22:50.06\00:22:51.60
Ok, so energy density
00:22:52.15\00:22:54.00
refers then to the amount of
00:22:54.45\00:22:56.30
calories in a given
volume of food, is that right?
00:22:56.48\00:22:59.72
Exactly, so if
you fill your plate up
00:23:00.03\00:23:02.12
with these foods
you'll be eating more foods
00:23:02.13\00:23:04.51
but eating less calories.
00:23:04.69\00:23:06.36
Ok, so we don't have to say,
00:23:06.42\00:23:08.30
Push yourself
away from the table,
00:23:08.39\00:23:10.57
don't eat, fast.
00:23:10.58\00:23:11.57
But we can say,
Eat the right foods.
00:23:11.75\00:23:13.39
Eat foods that fill you up,
00:23:13.51\00:23:14.81
but don't give
you a lot of calories.
00:23:14.82\00:23:16.60
Exactly, and what
do you think those
00:23:16.75\00:23:18.84
foods that are low
in energy density are?
00:23:18.85\00:23:21.24
Well, I mean the
first thing that comes
00:23:21.36\00:23:23.18
to my mind
Hildelisa is iceberg lettuce.
00:23:23.19\00:23:25.00
I mean that's a
lot of food there, but
00:23:25.12\00:23:27.57
not many calories are there?
00:23:27.72\00:23:29.27
Definitely, so that would be
00:23:29.39\00:23:31.27
foods, plant based
foods like the fruits
00:23:31.48\00:23:34.03
and the vegetables,
and the whole grains.
00:23:34.04\00:23:36.48
So if you eat
these foods you can
00:23:37.00\00:23:38.78
eat more foods
and less calories.
00:23:38.79\00:23:40.63
Now what's more is
that these plant based
00:23:41.66\00:23:44.15
foods are going to
prevent chronic diseases,
00:23:44.16\00:23:46.63
and they're going to
keep your weight down.
00:23:47.00\00:23:49.78
Now--
00:23:50.66\00:23:51.75
Hildelisa, yeah one of the
00:23:51.81\00:23:53.18
questions is that,
we're talking about
00:23:53.19\00:23:54.81
really getting these foods that
00:23:55.09\00:23:56.75
have fewer
calories in them, but...
00:23:56.76\00:23:58.66
couldn't someone
say, Well can't I eat less
00:23:59.72\00:24:02.72
of the foods with
more calories? They say,
00:24:03.09\00:24:05.00
I like my hamburgers and
milk shakes and French fries.
00:24:05.01\00:24:07.36
Well the principle is that
00:24:07.78\00:24:09.63
foods that are
high in water content
00:24:09.64\00:24:12.15
and fiber content,
those are the things that
00:24:12.33\00:24:14.48
are going to fill you
up so you'll eat less.
00:24:14.49\00:24:16.60
For example
fruits--they are 80 to 95
00:24:17.06\00:24:19.63
percent water,
fruits and vegetables,
00:24:19.64\00:24:22.24
and hard grains
are 85 percent water,
00:24:22.45\00:24:25.30
and soups they can be
up to 95 percent water.
00:24:25.51\00:24:28.36
- Wow.
00:24:28.37\00:24:29.34
So they fill you up,
00:24:29.35\00:24:30.54
but they don't give
you a lot of calories.
00:24:30.75\00:24:32.09
Right. Now do you
suppose that if you just
00:24:32.27\00:24:35.18
drink a big glass of
water with your hamburger,
00:24:35.19\00:24:38.21
would that work?
00:24:38.39\00:24:39.51
Well I'm not going to eat a
00:24:39.52\00:24:40.72
hamburger
Hildelisa, don't worry!
00:24:40.73\00:24:42.15
But tell us, is that a
00:24:42.33\00:24:43.54
solution if
someone wants to say,
00:24:43.55\00:24:45.36
I'll have 80 percent water
and eat the burger and fries?
00:24:45.37\00:24:48.33
No that won't
work. The water has
00:24:48.51\00:24:50.72
to be in the
food in order to work.
00:24:50.73\00:24:53.09
- And why is that?
00:24:53.48\00:24:54.54
Well because that's how
00:24:54.84\00:24:56.36
you're going to
fill up, and... yes.
00:24:56.37\00:24:58.54
Now-- and the food is going
to have less calories whereas if
00:24:58.66\00:25:01.63
you eat the hamburger even
00:25:01.64\00:25:03.03
though you have
the glass of water,
00:25:03.04\00:25:04.66
you're going to eat all the
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.57
calories in that
hamburger for example.
00:25:06.58\00:25:08.84
Now lets just visualize
what we're talking about...
00:25:09.18\00:25:11.84
I have here
00:25:12.24\00:25:13.69
a hundred calories of
raisins or dried grapes,
00:25:14.12\00:25:17.09
it's about less
than a quarter cup.
00:25:17.10\00:25:19.30
and a hundred
calories of grapes,
00:25:19.33\00:25:21.48
it's about a
little less than two cups.
00:25:21.49\00:25:24.03
Now which one
would you rather eat?
00:25:24.33\00:25:26.03
Now are you
telling me there are the
00:25:26.48\00:25:27.78
same number of
calories in each of those?
00:25:27.79\00:25:29.24
Exactly.
00:25:29.42\00:25:30.42
Well if I'm wanting to
fill up with less calories,
00:25:30.87\00:25:33.72
I'm going to choose the grapes.
00:25:33.73\00:25:35.45
Definitely, that is
going to fill you up,
00:25:35.78\00:25:38.72
and give you the same
amount of calories but
00:25:39.03\00:25:41.42
it's so easy to eat
this amount of raisins,
00:25:41.43\00:25:43.72
whether-- whereas the grapes
will definitely fill you up.
00:25:44.15\00:25:48.03
So we're not saying the
raisins are not a healthy snack,
00:25:48.48\00:25:51.45
but they are a problem
when it comes to giving
00:25:51.66\00:25:54.00
you lots of calories in
a small amount of volume.
00:25:54.01\00:25:56.30
When you're trying to
watch your weight, yes.
00:25:56.54\00:25:58.45
Now pasta, and...
00:25:58.75\00:26:01.06
bread, Italian bread,
they have similar ingredients,
00:26:01.45\00:26:04.21
but if you think about
it, but if you think about
00:26:04.39\00:26:06.36
it the pasta absorbs the
water that it's cooked in,
00:26:06.37\00:26:08.36
so it's going to be half
as energy dense as the bread.
00:26:08.69\00:26:12.42
So that's the concept
that we're talking about.
00:26:12.72\00:26:14.75
The drier the
food the more calories.
00:26:15.09\00:26:17.39
Hildelisa, I mean
this is great information.
00:26:17.84\00:26:19.81
Hopefully you've learned some
00:26:19.82\00:26:21.18
things today that
can make a difference
00:26:21.19\00:26:22.81
as far as helping
you trim a few of those
00:26:23.12\00:26:24.87
additional pounds that
you're trying to get rid of.
00:26:24.88\00:26:27.18
I'm Dr. David
DeRose, letting you
00:26:27.42\00:26:28.78
know that if you
want more information
00:26:28.79\00:26:30.39
go to our website:
00:26:30.51\00:26:31.66
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:42.00\00:26:44.51
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:44.54\00:26:47.03
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:26:47.60\00:26:51.00
our educational system today.
00:26:51.03\00:26:53.18
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:26:53.72\00:26:56.09
saw schools more like a factory,
00:26:56.45\00:26:58.36
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:26:58.37\00:27:01.12
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:27:01.15\00:27:03.12
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:03.57\00:27:06.12
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:06.13\00:27:08.87
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:09.12\00:27:11.51
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:11.60\00:27:14.15
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:14.39\00:27:16.84
long since passed.
00:27:16.85\00:27:18.33
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:19.60\00:27:22.84
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:23.03\00:27:27.03
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:27.30\00:27:29.66
Well friends
that's it for today.
00:27:43.12\00:27:44.78
Thank you for joining us.
00:27:44.79\00:27:46.15
Now I know we have
friends and family that
00:27:46.60\00:27:49.60
