Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:00:23.69\00:00:27.09
In our studio today
we have Laura Dorans from
00:00:27.33\00:00:30.63
Elgin Illinois, just
outside of Chicago I understand.
00:00:31.18\00:00:34.63
She came to us
grieving somewhat,
00:00:35.81\00:00:39.12
but rather than
me tell you about it,
00:00:39.57\00:00:41.45
lets look at a clip
when she first arrived.
00:00:41.46\00:00:43.57
This past year has
been incredibly stressful,
00:00:45.60\00:00:49.72
my husband had very
advanced multiple sclerosis,
00:00:51.09\00:00:55.09
was wheelchair bound,
00:00:55.48\00:00:57.60
we ended up no longer being
able to care for him at home,
00:00:58.15\00:01:01.60
and he died about a year ago.
00:01:02.21\00:01:04.78
Then actually
several months after that
00:01:05.33\00:01:08.09
I was laid off,
00:01:08.27\00:01:10.27
I also ironically was
diagnosed with MS myself.
00:01:11.75\00:01:16.54
He had it when I
met him 25 years ago,
00:01:17.42\00:01:20.39
and I was diagnosed in 05.
00:01:20.40\00:01:22.39
The MS has affected me
00:01:22.75\00:01:26.33
people who get MS, have
a wide variety of symptoms,
00:01:27.06\00:01:30.21
and for me it's
been constant fatigue,
00:01:30.42\00:01:35.12
it has affected my memory
00:01:35.57\00:01:37.39
which used to be
incredibly sharp,
00:01:37.40\00:01:39.72
that's a real frustration...
00:01:40.48\00:01:43.48
I have balance problems.
00:01:44.33\00:01:46.21
I want...
00:01:47.42\00:01:48.72
what I'm absolutely
certain, God wants for me,
00:01:49.24\00:01:52.54
if I cooperate with him,
00:01:53.24\00:01:54.69
and that is-- good health.
00:01:54.84\00:01:56.72
Welcome back friends, and in
our studio-- Laura how are you?
00:01:59.12\00:02:01.60
- I'm good
thanks. - Good to see you.
00:02:01.72\00:02:03.72
- You too.
00:02:03.73\00:02:04.70
Ok, first question I got
to ask, how's your memory?
00:02:04.71\00:02:07.81
Ah, let me think...
00:02:08.66\00:02:10.33
No!
00:02:10.51\00:02:11.63
You for get? - Right! Right!
00:02:11.75\00:02:13.69
How do you feel?
00:02:14.06\00:02:15.09
I feel good, I do.
00:02:15.42\00:02:17.51
I...
00:02:17.52\00:02:18.49
- Have you experienced some
change since you've been here?
00:02:18.50\00:02:20.42
Definitely, I definitely feel
00:02:20.54\00:02:23.60
ah... as if I'm more well.
00:02:24.12\00:02:27.24
You know the
whole idea of wellness
00:02:27.72\00:02:31.12
is so important, and
00:02:31.27\00:02:33.15
one of the things that a doctor
told me years ago, who knew...
00:02:33.60\00:02:37.63
me and my family real closely.
00:02:38.18\00:02:41.27
He knew our situation
with my husband being very ill,
00:02:42.63\00:02:45.84
and that I was
taking care of him, and
00:02:45.85\00:02:48.18
the bread
winner, and everything,
00:02:48.48\00:02:50.06
and our daughter.
00:02:50.07\00:02:51.09
And I think this would pertain
00:02:51.27\00:02:53.69
probably to quite a
few of your viewers,
00:02:53.70\00:02:56.87
he said that he was on a
plane and he had a philosophical
00:02:57.69\00:03:01.12
moment about me
when they started
00:03:01.13\00:03:03.09
announcing
about the oxygen mask,
00:03:03.10\00:03:05.00
that-- you know
how they instruct you
00:03:05.39\00:03:08.06
to put the
oxygen mask on somebody
00:03:08.39\00:03:10.42
else--not to put it
on somebody else first,
00:03:10.43\00:03:12.87
to put it on
yourself in case of emergency.
00:03:13.36\00:03:15.57
Because if you're
helping someone else
00:03:16.00\00:03:18.27
instead, everyone could perish.
00:03:18.42\00:03:21.33
Take care of yourself first,
00:03:21.78\00:03:23.51
and then you can help
those around you much better.
00:03:23.81\00:03:26.75
And I feel that's what...
00:03:28.00\00:03:29.81
I've gained here,
during my stay at Weimar.
00:03:30.36\00:03:34.09
So how is this program
00:03:34.54\00:03:37.12
going to help you administer to
00:03:37.66\00:03:40.42
other folks' well being?
00:03:41.12\00:03:43.27
Well the fact that,
00:03:44.66\00:03:47.12
my... well being
00:03:47.57\00:03:51.27
is improving, just
increases my capacity
00:03:51.69\00:03:55.66
to help not only myself
but to help others as well.
00:03:56.21\00:03:59.81
To help my family, and
00:03:59.82\00:04:01.72
be able to help
others outside as well.
00:04:02.06\00:04:04.36
And what have you learned
here in the last 17 days--
00:04:04.81\00:04:07.84
and I know this is
an 18 day program--
00:04:08.06\00:04:10.24
But what have you
learned that you can take home,
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.15
take to your community,
00:04:13.16\00:04:14.21
take back to your
church, that might
00:04:14.48\00:04:16.42
lift someone up?
00:04:17.24\00:04:18.51
I've come to believe,
00:04:20.15\00:04:22.48
deeply in the validity of this
00:04:23.12\00:04:25.72
the nutritional approach.
00:04:26.27\00:04:28.42
I was a bit skeptical,
00:04:30.21\00:04:32.57
and as my
grandmother used to say,
00:04:33.09\00:04:35.48
Laura, you're a poor eater!
00:04:35.49\00:04:37.36
And I have been all my life,
00:04:37.75\00:04:40.51
but after going
through the instruction about
00:04:41.03\00:04:44.39
what it is that we've
really been consuming,
00:04:45.15\00:04:47.54
the ingredients and what has
00:04:48.09\00:04:49.78
happened to food over
the years, and so forth.
00:04:49.79\00:04:52.63
And the value
00:04:53.18\00:04:55.18
of eating food the
way God created it,
00:04:55.48\00:04:59.60
and originally
intended us to consume it.
00:04:59.81\00:05:02.18
It's reflected in
the improvement in
00:05:02.63\00:05:06.54
the readings in my lab work,
00:05:06.72\00:05:09.03
it's improved the way
that I feel since I've arrived,
00:05:09.48\00:05:14.03
and it has,
00:05:14.63\00:05:16.06
really opened me up to hear more
00:05:16.51\00:05:19.63
from God what it is
that he's saying to me.
00:05:20.18\00:05:23.18
Wonderful.
00:05:23.63\00:05:24.63
So then you
realize that your body
00:05:25.06\00:05:26.63
is the temple
of the Holy Spirit.
00:05:26.64\00:05:28.24
Absolutely.
00:05:28.25\00:05:29.33
God said not to
defile these bodies.
00:05:29.34\00:05:31.42
So we got to take
care of these temples.
00:05:32.00\00:05:33.45
Right. Right.
00:05:33.60\00:05:35.18
How's your energy?
How--has that changed?
00:05:35.30\00:05:38.06
Ah, to be honest
that hasn't changed much
00:05:38.60\00:05:41.45
much yet, ah--that's--but
00:05:41.78\00:05:44.21
I'm confident that
over time it will, that was
00:05:44.63\00:05:47.60
quite a high bar
to set for an 18 day
00:05:47.87\00:05:51.42
time span. But with the
00:05:51.66\00:05:53.36
improvement that
I have seen so far,
00:05:53.37\00:05:55.78
it has made me committed
00:05:56.30\00:05:59.15
to continue with this
lifestyle, with that is one
00:05:59.42\00:06:02.57
one of the objectives
that my energy will increase.
00:06:02.58\00:06:05.75
Do you feel-- when you
arrived here were you aware
00:06:06.24\00:06:10.57
or were you
depressed in any way?
00:06:11.12\00:06:13.87
I was...
00:06:14.81\00:06:16.30
I think you'd call
it like world weary,
00:06:16.78\00:06:18.87
from having--just having had
00:06:19.60\00:06:22.78
encountered so many...
00:06:23.33\00:06:25.45
major life changes and stresses
00:06:26.27\00:06:29.33
over the past several--actually
00:06:29.57\00:06:31.69
ten years my
husband was really sick.
00:06:31.70\00:06:34.21
So...
00:06:34.69\00:06:36.45
Yeah I was not at the top
of my game by any stretch.
00:06:37.24\00:06:41.81
And you feel like you got a
grip on it? You're ready to...
00:06:42.39\00:06:47.30
Much more so-- much more
so than I was. I feel like I
00:06:48.06\00:06:52.66
am connecting better
00:06:53.24\00:06:55.57
with God in order to
discern what it is that
00:06:55.84\00:06:58.69
He does have in mind
for me, direction-wise.
00:06:58.70\00:07:01.51
When you get home,
00:07:02.00\00:07:03.30
what is it that you'll describe
00:07:04.00\00:07:06.21
as far as
Weimar's NEWSTART program,
00:07:07.15\00:07:09.72
what will you say to
your family and friends?
00:07:10.39\00:07:12.54
What did you do
when you were here?
00:07:12.55\00:07:14.24
Well I would say
00:07:15.30\00:07:17.42
first of all
that it's not whacky,
00:07:17.69\00:07:20.09
it's-- that the...
00:07:20.54\00:07:22.75
food is good,
00:07:23.45\00:07:25.21
far better than I had expected.
00:07:25.66\00:07:28.21
That with the
instruction that I've
00:07:28.66\00:07:32.03
obtained while I was here
00:07:32.66\00:07:34.21
that I can see that it's
00:07:34.54\00:07:35.69
really something
that's very doable,
00:07:35.70\00:07:37.42
when I do return home.
00:07:38.00\00:07:39.54
And most importantly, are
00:07:40.18\00:07:42.78
the very clear benefits
00:07:43.57\00:07:45.21
that the participants achieve
00:07:45.36\00:07:48.84
from having participated in it.
00:07:49.12\00:07:50.72
How about your walking? The
exercise part of the program
00:07:52.66\00:07:56.42
Someone-- some
people don't like that
00:07:56.87\00:07:59.63
E word, but
we'll call it activity.
00:08:00.18\00:08:03.75
Do you plan on sharing
that with the folks back home?
00:08:04.15\00:08:08.06
Sure, it used to
be that the exercise
00:08:08.48\00:08:10.81
that I got was
getting in and out of my car!
00:08:10.82\00:08:13.60
And...
00:08:14.09\00:08:15.39
I've been doing a lot
more walking here, there are
00:08:15.60\00:08:18.24
some limitations
just because of my MS, but
00:08:18.48\00:08:21.75
it has-- I've...
00:08:22.30\00:08:23.66
there's been a big change
00:08:23.84\00:08:25.39
in terms of my capacity
and my enjoyment of it as well.
00:08:25.48\00:08:29.33
You mention food, and I know
the viewers, some of which have
00:08:30.36\00:08:33.24
called me in the past and go
00:08:33.48\00:08:35.12
Well I don't know if
I can live on salads.
00:08:35.36\00:08:37.72
Did you eat salads? Is that the
only thing they served you here?
00:08:38.06\00:08:41.30
It's certainly not the
only thing that they served,
00:08:41.75\00:08:44.06
but I did come to
thoroughly enjoy salads
00:08:44.21\00:08:47.06
since I've been here,
and the variety of salads.
00:08:47.30\00:08:51.18
No it's surprising,
the number of dishes that
00:08:52.27\00:08:55.69
they've taught us
to create in the time
00:08:56.03\00:08:58.63
that we were here
from various ingredients,
00:08:58.64\00:09:01.51
some of them you could even,
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.06
get by-- you know slip
00:09:04.51\00:09:05.81
in on somebody and
they wouldn't know what
00:09:06.45\00:09:08.63
the contents were,
they might think it was
00:09:08.64\00:09:10.75
you know, 'real food', or...
00:09:11.21\00:09:13.18
you know outside food.
00:09:13.63\00:09:15.30
Any last minute
suggestions for our viewers?
00:09:16.03\00:09:20.42
Our time is running out.
00:09:20.43\00:09:21.57
Ok.
00:09:21.58\00:09:22.60
I would just
highly encourage anyone,
00:09:22.61\00:09:25.39
I can think even of, you know...
00:09:25.40\00:09:27.69
caregivers of ill people
00:09:28.42\00:09:31.69
have such demands on their own
00:09:31.81\00:09:34.51
health and well being,
and they need to be ready to
00:09:35.18\00:09:38.27
take--you know, carry
the ball and everything,
00:09:39.30\00:09:42.00
shoulder such responsibility.
00:09:42.01\00:09:43.63
But they need
to be fit to do so.
00:09:43.64\00:09:45.54
- Amen.
00:09:45.78\00:09:46.81
So I would
encourage anyone to attend.
00:09:47.12\00:09:48.63
I thank you for
coming on our show,
00:09:48.87\00:09:51.27
and God bless your
work, and your trip home.
00:09:51.72\00:09:54.72
Thank you.
00:09:54.87\00:09:55.87

00:10:12.27\00:10:13.54
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:13.55\00:10:15.63
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:16.18\00:10:17.48
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,

00:10:21.16\00:10:24.12
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:24.75\00:10:27.48
with laboratory studies
and an exercise stress test,
00:10:27.49\00:10:30.78
physician consultations,
00:10:31.33\00:10:33.06
culinary school,
00:10:33.69\00:10:34.87
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:35.42\00:10:38.36
in the foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:38.37\00:10:40.36
Your health is one of the most
00:10:42.42\00:10:43.84
important things
that you have. Don't wait.

Welcome back friends, and
in our studio-- Dr. DeRose
00:11:10.09\00:11:13.42
how are you sir? -
I'm doing well Ron,
00:11:13.84\00:11:15.57
how are you?
00:11:15.58\00:11:16.66
I'm blessed, it's
so good to see you.
00:11:16.67\00:11:18.69
We got to talk about
this interview we just had,
00:11:19.54\00:11:22.12
and tell us,
00:11:22.57\00:11:23.87
because I know the
people are always interested
00:11:24.45\00:11:26.84
in what the doctor says.
00:11:27.15\00:11:29.09
What's happened here Doctor?
00:11:29.54\00:11:30.78
Well you know I think
one of the things Ron,
00:11:31.30\00:11:33.24
that is really exciting
about Laura's situation,
00:11:33.36\00:11:36.48
you know sometimes we
feature people on this show who
00:11:37.03\00:11:40.72
you know, threw away
their canes and wheelchairs,
00:11:41.03\00:11:43.69
were blind and now they can see.
00:11:43.70\00:11:45.69
And of course I'm exaggerating!
00:11:45.81\00:11:47.69
And a lot of people
can get the mistaken idea
00:11:47.81\00:11:50.54
that when they
make lifestyle changes,
00:11:50.87\00:11:53.30
in two weeks
everything is normal!
00:11:53.31\00:11:55.33
Laura was sharing with you her
enthusiasm, she's seen enough
00:11:56.36\00:11:59.51
progress that I mean her
life is going to be different.
00:11:59.63\00:12:02.60
But at the same time
you know, you asked her
00:12:03.00\00:12:04.60
about her energy level,
she said, You know that really
00:12:04.61\00:12:06.63
hasn't improved
dramatically yet.
00:12:06.81\00:12:08.54
And so I think
this is-- it's really
00:12:09.18\00:12:11.24
important to have a
credible show like this
00:12:11.25\00:12:13.57
when we highlight lifestyle
00:12:13.81\00:12:15.57
everyone just doesn't
fit into some cookbook,
00:12:15.87\00:12:19.33
and just go
through some trajectory
00:12:19.57\00:12:21.42
where in two
weeks they're, you know,
00:12:21.43\00:12:23.30
a totally a new person, and they
00:12:23.31\00:12:25.00
never have any
medical problems again!
00:12:25.01\00:12:26.81
I'm so glad to hear you
say this because often times,
00:12:27.03\00:12:29.78
sitting here I'm looking for
00:12:30.21\00:12:32.09
some miraculous
things to happen!
00:12:32.10\00:12:34.18
And once in a while,
00:12:34.51\00:12:35.63
there isn't anything so
00:12:35.81\00:12:37.30
miraculous but
change is happened.
00:12:37.31\00:12:39.33
And I'm glad you put
that out, because people
00:12:39.72\00:12:42.24
are wondering,
while she didn't go
00:12:42.42\00:12:44.18
through too many
changes-- or he--
00:12:44.19\00:12:45.81
But go on Doctor.
00:12:46.09\00:12:47.12
Yeah, but so
what's miraculous really
00:12:47.13\00:12:49.09
is that even-- you know when you
00:12:49.42\00:12:51.30
stand and you look
back and you say well,
00:12:51.31\00:12:53.57
you know,
00:12:53.58\00:12:54.57
the Lord didn't give us
some amazing testimony about how
00:12:54.75\00:12:59.12
you know, the MS
is totally behind her,
00:12:59.42\00:13:01.54
you know, she has
no concerns about it.
00:13:01.55\00:13:03.54
But here's the point...
00:13:04.09\00:13:05.33
The key to MS success-- I mean
00:13:05.63\00:13:07.54
one of the great
researchers in this
00:13:07.55\00:13:09.72
area-- fairly controversial guy,
00:13:09.73\00:13:11.72
but by the name of
Dr. Swank in Oregon,
00:13:11.73\00:13:14.12
did a lot of work
with MS over the years.
00:13:14.45\00:13:17.57
And really for many physicians,
00:13:17.84\00:13:20.12
nail down a
connection between lifestyle,
00:13:20.33\00:13:23.03
and long term
improvement, long term success
00:13:23.04\00:13:25.75
with MS.
00:13:25.76\00:13:27.03
But it's not something that
necessarily happens over night.
00:13:27.24\00:13:30.63
But it's helping a person see
00:13:30.84\00:13:33.03
that small changes,
00:13:33.30\00:13:35.00
can make enough
return on their investment,
00:13:35.27\00:13:37.84
as far as the
lifestyle change investment
00:13:37.85\00:13:40.36
that it's worth sticking with.
00:13:40.51\00:13:41.81
And so Laura made that
change, and you saw it, you know
00:13:42.24\00:13:44.87
the diet was
good, it was healthy,
00:13:45.12\00:13:47.39
she felt good about it,
00:13:47.40\00:13:48.87
and she sees
that it's helping her,
00:13:49.18\00:13:50.84
she sees progress
00:13:50.85\00:13:51.84
and she's going to
make changes that are
00:13:51.85\00:13:53.72
going to be with her
for the rest of her life.
00:13:53.73\00:13:55.78
She seemed to be very level
00:13:56.54\00:13:57.81
headed about
that, and I've got--
00:13:57.82\00:13:59.39
I got that communication
loud and clear that
00:13:59.84\00:14:02.15
it's significant enough,
00:14:02.39\00:14:04.24
that she's on board with it.
00:14:04.69\00:14:06.36
And I-- you know, I had
this discussion with Laura,
00:14:06.81\00:14:09.33
I've had it with many patients,
00:14:09.34\00:14:10.75
who is the person
that benefits the most
00:14:11.42\00:14:13.39
from an intensive
lifestyle change program?
00:14:13.40\00:14:15.45
Is it the person who
has the most miraculous,
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.00
the most dramatic changes?
00:14:18.01\00:14:19.24
Or is it a person who makes
00:14:19.63\00:14:21.30
slower changes?
00:14:21.54\00:14:22.78
And I think you can
put an argument either way,
00:14:23.36\00:14:25.57
and let me tell
you how it works Ron.
00:14:25.78\00:14:27.42
The person sometimes
that comes here for two weeks
00:14:27.87\00:14:31.00
and their triglycerides go
00:14:31.33\00:14:33.03
from some sky
high figure to normal
00:14:33.04\00:14:35.15
their diabetes is gone,
00:14:35.42\00:14:37.00
they're off all
their medications.
00:14:37.01\00:14:39.15
The danger that
that person faces
00:14:39.36\00:14:41.60
is that they're going
to say, you know what?
00:14:41.72\00:14:43.39
that was no big deal!
00:14:43.72\00:14:45.06
If I get off
this program hey I can
00:14:45.24\00:14:47.21
always come back to
Weimar and in two weeks
00:14:47.22\00:14:49.51
I can turn back the clock.
00:14:49.72\00:14:51.24
You know I
never thought of that,
00:14:51.39\00:14:53.15
but it's so true.
00:14:53.16\00:14:54.13
It rings true to my head anyway,
00:14:54.42\00:14:56.39
that, that could be the case.
00:14:56.63\00:14:58.45
And I'm glad
you brought this up,
00:14:58.69\00:15:00.36
it's never been discussed.
00:15:00.37\00:15:01.54
Can you
elaborate a little further?
00:15:01.81\00:15:03.00
Well I'll give you
a practical example.
00:15:03.12\00:15:04.42
I've worked in a
number of lifestyle
00:15:04.57\00:15:06.33
centers over the
years and one of them
00:15:06.34\00:15:08.12
one of the most disappointed
patients I ever saw,
00:15:08.30\00:15:11.39
was someone who came to
lower his triglycerides.
00:15:11.57\00:15:13.84
He actually came
through a two week
00:15:14.39\00:15:16.15
program very much
like we run here at Weimar,
00:15:16.16\00:15:18.27
and at the end of the week
his triglycerides were worse!
00:15:18.66\00:15:21.39
I mean he was livid. - Wow!
00:15:21.84\00:15:23.51
He actually wasn't my patient,
he was one of my colleague's,
00:15:23.66\00:15:26.15
but it would have happened
to me if I were his doctor too!
00:15:26.16\00:15:28.48
- Well I don't think so!
00:15:28.49\00:15:29.78
No it's the way
your body responded Ron!
00:15:29.79\00:15:31.51
- I know! But
here's the amazing thing--
00:15:31.63\00:15:33.66
what happened was
00:15:33.81\00:15:35.33
his doctor
encouraged him that he
00:15:35.48\00:15:38.60
all the more
needed to stick with it,
00:15:38.87\00:15:40.84
because he was not one of these
people that responded so quickly
00:15:40.85\00:15:44.24
and he did it!
00:15:44.60\00:15:45.60
And this guy came back,
00:15:45.61\00:15:46.60
I think it was six
months or a year later
00:15:46.61\00:15:48.36
his triglycerides were great.
00:15:48.54\00:15:50.21
He had stuck with
the lifestyle because he
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.45
realized that this was going
to be a long term commitment
00:15:52.46\00:15:55.15
it wasn't just something that
went away overnight for him.
00:15:55.27\00:15:57.84
You know that's so
inspiring because I
00:15:58.57\00:16:00.45
know people call
me from time to time,
00:16:00.46\00:16:02.30
they say, Are you telling me if
I come to your NEWSTART program,
00:16:02.69\00:16:06.39
I'm going to lose 70 pounds,
lose this, this, this, this?
00:16:06.66\00:16:10.45
I go wait a minute!
Time out! No not really.
00:16:10.66\00:16:13.18
So--but I like what
you're saying because
00:16:13.45\00:16:16.15
when I came to the program in 05
00:16:16.39\00:16:18.72
it wasn't...
00:16:19.27\00:16:20.24
something I was going to try,
00:16:20.48\00:16:22.24
it wasn't
something I was going to,
00:16:22.51\00:16:24.48
Well let's test the waters
00:16:24.49\00:16:25.84
I was committed, and I knew
00:16:26.18\00:16:27.84
I knew that if I stuck to it
00:16:28.39\00:16:30.36
I would go
through these changes.
00:16:30.72\00:16:32.30
And that's what
you're describing,
00:16:32.31\00:16:33.75
and it's so
comforting to hear you say this.
00:16:34.24\00:16:37.54
Well you know, the other
thing about the program here,
00:16:38.06\00:16:40.69
and we talk about this a lot,
00:16:40.70\00:16:42.15
is that it's a
spiritual program.
00:16:42.45\00:16:44.18
The Lord is at the
center of this program,
00:16:44.30\00:16:46.36
people are praying
00:16:47.06\00:16:48.36
around the clock if you will,
00:16:48.54\00:16:50.15
for these guests that
come through our program.
00:16:50.33\00:16:52.54
And I think the
Lord in His wisdom
00:16:52.75\00:16:54.63
often knows what a
person needs to see.
00:16:54.64\00:16:56.72
If there's a person
00:16:57.18\00:16:58.42
who--they really need to
see some dramatic change.
00:16:58.57\00:17:01.18
I think of a fellow once
00:17:01.19\00:17:02.36
who came with a
different attitude than you,
00:17:02.75\00:17:04.72
he said I'm just
going to try it out.
00:17:04.73\00:17:06.36
And at the end of two weeks,
00:17:07.12\00:17:08.87
he said, You know if two weeks
00:17:09.30\00:17:11.39
made this big a
difference for me,
00:17:11.40\00:17:13.66
I'd be a fool not to keep living
00:17:13.67\00:17:15.84
this way for
the rest of my life.
00:17:15.85\00:17:18.09
So the Lord knew he
needed that kind of experience.
00:17:18.45\00:17:21.24
You know, and I don't
know that when I got here I
00:17:21.69\00:17:23.78
really had that kind of
an attitude, in retrospect.
00:17:23.79\00:17:26.06
I'm not even sure, but
00:17:26.42\00:17:27.69
I know I stuck to it,
00:17:28.09\00:17:29.51
it's been almost
5 years this August.
00:17:29.52\00:17:32.00
- Wow, tremendous.
00:17:32.01\00:17:32.98
So I'd just-- I'd like to
00:17:32.99\00:17:34.24
encourage people
who are watching us now
00:17:34.25\00:17:36.45
to know that there's hope,
00:17:36.66\00:17:38.48
that's what I want to
instill on people here
00:17:39.30\00:17:42.21
on our program
Doctor, that there is hope.
00:17:42.48\00:17:45.27
I mean it's a
powerful message, regardless of
00:17:45.48\00:17:47.84
what you're dealing
with, there is hope, and
00:17:47.85\00:17:50.21
it doesn't always
happen in your time frame.
00:17:50.42\00:17:52.72
The Lord's timing is
perfect, when you come here at
00:17:53.00\00:17:55.27
Weimar and give us the
privilege of working with you,
00:17:55.28\00:17:57.60
or whether you make
changes on your own at home,
00:17:57.84\00:18:00.36
lifestyle change is powerful,
00:18:00.54\00:18:02.48
especially Ron, when
God adds his blessing to it.
00:18:02.66\00:18:06.12
Oh, Amen.
00:18:06.51\00:18:07.57
I notice you on... you were
at Sacramento Central doing some
00:18:08.69\00:18:14.54
tell us about that just briefly?
00:18:15.30\00:18:16.69
Sure, sure, one of the
exciting things about Weimar,
00:18:17.00\00:18:19.72
is this connection we
have with Amazing Facts
00:18:19.73\00:18:22.18
and Doug
Bachelor's church Sacramento
00:18:22.63\00:18:24.54
Central Seventh
Day Adventist Church.
00:18:24.55\00:18:26.42
And there's just a
powerful synergy with the
00:18:26.72\00:18:29.27
Amazing Facts
Center of Evangelism,
00:18:29.45\00:18:31.42
we're working together,
00:18:31.57\00:18:32.63
We're out there doing
health presentations, I'm
00:18:32.87\00:18:36.45
working with Doug occasionally
doing some co-presenting,
00:18:36.69\00:18:39.48
and it's just exciting when
00:18:39.75\00:18:41.39
you bring the
power of the gospel
00:18:41.40\00:18:43.30
and the power of
God's healing message,
00:18:43.57\00:18:45.72
it's really a
Biblical message, and just to
00:18:46.06\00:18:48.42
see how people's lives
are changing. Some people
00:18:48.43\00:18:51.06
they change based on a
health lecture or presentation,
00:18:51.21\00:18:53.84
other people need that hands on
00:18:54.24\00:18:55.63
approach like we
offer here at Weimar.
00:18:55.64\00:18:57.36
Doctor, do you
often go to churches
00:18:57.78\00:19:00.63
around the country to give
00:19:01.18\00:19:03.03
a lecture on health
and nutrition and such?
00:19:03.51\00:19:06.09
Well I can speak
for us collectively
00:19:06.33\00:19:08.09
here at Weimar,
there are many of us
00:19:08.10\00:19:09.72
that travel to
churches and do programs.
00:19:09.87\00:19:12.15
Unfortunately, even thought
we have a fairly broad staff
00:19:12.45\00:19:15.54
we have more
requests than we can fill.
00:19:15.84\00:19:17.63
But we're always
happy to pray about
00:19:18.00\00:19:19.81
particular needs
that a church or a
00:19:19.82\00:19:21.63
community group may have.
00:19:21.78\00:19:23.24
And if the Lord
wants that to happen,
00:19:23.51\00:19:25.45
He brings it
together in his time.
00:19:25.69\00:19:27.36
I'm not sure
you're aware, but Dr. Chen
00:19:27.81\00:19:31.18
Pastor Brackett, myself
00:19:31.45\00:19:33.18
went to Enterprise Oregon
00:19:33.63\00:19:36.75
this past weekend, and
did a reversing diabetes
00:19:37.09\00:19:40.21
program there.
00:19:40.63\00:19:42.78
Also obesity, etc.
00:19:43.33\00:19:46.09
But the Lord blessed.
00:19:46.24\00:19:48.18
We had a wonderful
time, a good turnout.
00:19:48.27\00:19:51.12
And you know we just
want to extend that offer to
00:19:51.57\00:19:54.51
church families
around the country,
00:19:55.06\00:19:56.57
and it doesn't
matter what church.
00:19:56.58\00:19:58.12
We had a gentleman on the
00:19:58.48\00:19:59.66
program before you
00:20:00.21\00:20:02.18
that is going-- who is a Baptist
00:20:02.51\00:20:04.63
and is going to go back to his
southern California churches,
00:20:05.03\00:20:08.57
and perhaps we can bring
00:20:08.78\00:20:10.18
a crew down there
and help them out too.
00:20:10.63\00:20:12.48
Tremendous.
00:20:12.51\00:20:13.51
So Doctor, what is
the prognosis for Laura?
00:20:13.63\00:20:17.81
Well Laura's
prognosis is extremely bright
00:20:18.36\00:20:21.60
because she's
putting her hands in the Lord
00:20:21.66\00:20:23.72
and really her life
is in the Lord's hands.
00:20:24.15\00:20:26.42
Her hands in the
Lords hands, she's in His'.
00:20:26.51\00:20:29.30
And really that's
where we want to be.
00:20:29.39\00:20:31.33
We know that the Lord's plan is
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.00
ultimately total
healing for everyone of us,
00:20:33.01\00:20:35.15
whether it happens in this life,
00:20:35.48\00:20:37.15
or...
00:20:37.60\00:20:38.69
when we're with
Him for eternity,
00:20:39.06\00:20:40.72
is the question.
00:20:40.73\00:20:41.81
But when we're trusting him,
00:20:41.87\00:20:43.39
He often gives
us dramatic results
00:20:43.57\00:20:45.45
in the here and now,
as well as in the future.
00:20:45.60\00:20:47.72
I'm so glad to
hear you say that.
00:20:48.27\00:20:50.12
Any last
comments to our viewers?
00:20:50.57\00:20:53.18
We have a few seconds left.
00:20:53.36\00:20:54.48
You know, one thing I'd
just like to encourage you,
00:20:54.54\00:20:56.84
if the Lord is speaking to
your heart about making changes,
00:20:56.85\00:20:59.54
about pressing closer to Him,
00:20:59.55\00:21:00.81
and following the principles
of health in the Bible
00:21:01.12\00:21:03.27
go forward, you're
never going to regret it,
00:21:03.48\00:21:05.75
and the Lord will
definitely work with you.
00:21:05.87\00:21:08.18
Dr. DeRose, thank
you for joining us.
00:21:08.42\00:21:10.36
We've run out of time,
00:21:10.81\00:21:11.87
Don't go away, we've got an
00:21:12.18\00:21:13.33
important message
for you right after this.
00:21:13.34\00:21:15.15
Welcome to NEWSTART AT HOME.
00:21:29.81\00:21:31.57
I'm Dr. David DeRose, your host,
00:21:31.81\00:21:33.78
and with me today, Jerry Florres
00:21:34.03\00:21:35.87
therapist with the
NEWSTART Medical Clinic
00:21:36.21\00:21:39.03
here at Weimar Center
of Health and Education.
00:21:39.27\00:21:41.84
Jerry, it's great to
have you with us again today.
00:21:42.18\00:21:44.24
It's great to be here.
00:21:44.25\00:21:45.30
Jerry you are
just doing exciting
00:21:45.31\00:21:46.81
things I know in
the NEWSTART program
00:21:46.82\00:21:48.57
because I've got
patients and they're telling me
00:21:48.75\00:21:50.84
the tremendous things
that are happening to them
00:21:51.09\00:21:53.27
through you, God's
blessing working through
00:21:53.42\00:21:55.45
you and the other
members of the team there.
00:21:55.46\00:21:57.48
Ah, low back pain
00:21:58.00\00:21:59.81
is something that a
lot of my patients have
00:22:00.12\00:22:02.60
and you guys there are doing
something that's helping it.
00:22:02.87\00:22:05.51
Can you bring us up to speed?
Give us some take home pointers?
00:22:05.52\00:22:08.33
Yes, I can. What I'm
going to demonstrate right now
00:22:08.75\00:22:11.69
is what I do here at
NEWSTART with our guests,
00:22:12.03\00:22:14.60
and it's very
simple. Most people
00:22:15.12\00:22:17.36
have bad postural habits,
00:22:17.57\00:22:19.21
they don't exercise enough,
00:22:19.42\00:22:21.24
and even people that walk
a lot, they don't stretch.
00:22:21.69\00:22:25.03
So therefore what happens
to our body is it tightens up.
00:22:25.48\00:22:28.51
And what happens when
you get low back pain,
00:22:29.06\00:22:31.45
one of the
things I notice most is
00:22:31.46\00:22:33.33
the psoas muscle, which is what
00:22:34.03\00:22:35.87
I'm going to
demonstrate right now.
00:22:35.88\00:22:38.15
It is a muscle
that is connected,
00:22:38.66\00:22:40.72
in case you
didn't know, your legs
00:22:41.15\00:22:42.69
start right
below your twelfth rib,
00:22:42.70\00:22:44.30
right around here.
00:22:44.63\00:22:45.66
And it comes and it hooks onto
00:22:46.18\00:22:48.75
joint of your leg, and it helps
00:22:49.03\00:22:50.75
your leg with
moving it like this.
00:22:50.76\00:22:52.66
But when you sit
down, they shorten
00:22:53.66\00:22:56.15
and tighten.
00:22:56.42\00:22:57.54
Then they take your pelvis
00:22:57.55\00:22:59.39
out of balance as they shorten,
00:22:59.66\00:23:01.39
and it takes the
pelvis out of balance.
00:23:01.57\00:23:03.27
And what happens then
00:23:03.39\00:23:05.12
is ischemic
tissue starts to develop,
00:23:05.33\00:23:07.69
and you all of a sudden get
this pain that you can't bear.
00:23:08.09\00:23:12.00
You go to the doctor, and most
00:23:12.21\00:23:13.75
people don't know
what to do with it.
00:23:13.76\00:23:15.69
So it's the process of
the muscles tightening,
00:23:16.18\00:23:18.51
not being flexible enough that
00:23:18.52\00:23:20.12
often sets the
stage for low back pain?
00:23:20.13\00:23:22.09
Yes, and what we do-- the key
00:23:22.27\00:23:24.54
to unlock these
muscle spasms that
00:23:25.12\00:23:27.84
are happening in
the lower back, is to
00:23:27.85\00:23:31.00
add heat, usually we do it
through an epsom salt bath.
00:23:31.24\00:23:35.30
Ok. How do you
make an epsom salt bath?
00:23:35.75\00:23:38.00
You take two cups of epsom salt,
00:23:38.09\00:23:40.15
which is available at most
grocery stores or pharmacies,
00:23:40.16\00:23:43.60
and you take two cups into water
that's about 100 to 104 degrees.
00:23:43.84\00:23:48.06
And you pour it in there
and you just lie there and relax
00:23:48.72\00:23:52.36
for about 12-- up to 30 minutes.
00:23:52.81\00:23:55.36
Then what we do here
00:23:56.18\00:23:58.21
is we include the massage,
00:23:58.42\00:24:00.51
which gets all the
00:24:00.75\00:24:02.21
muscles nice and lengthened.
00:24:02.66\00:24:04.51
We get the
00:24:04.87\00:24:06.12
the circulation optimally
going, flowing to the muscle,
00:24:06.57\00:24:09.72
and once that happens
00:24:10.27\00:24:11.51
you got this nice
lengthened muscle,
00:24:11.87\00:24:13.69
all the range of
motion, in most cases.
00:24:14.00\00:24:16.54
In some, it
takes several therapies
00:24:16.78\00:24:19.15
And then the lower back
pain dissipates once the pelvis
00:24:19.42\00:24:22.78
and all the rest of the
muscles are nice and balanced.
00:24:23.21\00:24:25.42
So is it true Jerry
00:24:26.09\00:24:27.75
that a lot of the problems
people have with their low
00:24:28.00\00:24:30.72
backs is because of
00:24:30.73\00:24:31.75
incorrect
postures and movements?
00:24:31.76\00:24:33.51
As a matter of fact
yes. As a matter of fact
00:24:34.57\00:24:36.63
most people go
multiple times to the doctor,
00:24:36.64\00:24:38.63
and up to 95 percent
of the time, even in MRIs
00:24:39.15\00:24:43.09
and in other
studies, like CAT Scans,
00:24:43.33\00:24:45.84
they can't find anything.
00:24:45.85\00:24:47.57
Therefore we find out that it's
00:24:48.03\00:24:50.30
muscles in spasm
that is causing that
00:24:50.31\00:24:53.00
terrible low back pain.
00:24:53.30\00:24:54.60
Ok, so try to
keep more flexible,
00:24:54.87\00:24:56.51
drink more water, that's
going to make a difference too?
00:24:56.52\00:24:59.15
Water again is the key.
00:24:59.33\00:25:01.15
You got to stay hydrated
00:25:01.30\00:25:02.72
because if the muscles
don't have enough water,
00:25:03.00\00:25:06.00
that means that they don't have
enough oxygen, that means that
00:25:06.45\00:25:09.81
it sends a signal to
your brain to tighten up.
00:25:10.27\00:25:13.09
Ok, so you
provide them with that.
00:25:13.69\00:25:15.45
And not to mention that
00:25:16.00\00:25:17.63
sitting a lot in
the position we are in
00:25:17.75\00:25:20.66
shortens those muscles
00:25:20.87\00:25:22.30
therefore again taking
the pelvis out of balance
00:25:22.57\00:25:26.75
therefore creating that tissue
00:25:27.18\00:25:29.27
that doesn't have that
00:25:29.48\00:25:31.45
optimum blood
flow, therefore pain.
00:25:31.46\00:25:34.48
Is there a real quick stretch
you could demonstrate for us?
00:25:34.81\00:25:37.36
We're almost out
of time, but is there
00:25:37.37\00:25:39.00
some pointer that is often
missed in low back problems?
00:25:39.36\00:25:42.63
I show people, I do this
while they are lying down
00:25:42.78\00:25:46.48
and then I also teach them how
to do it and it's very simple.
00:25:46.69\00:25:50.39
Most people use this stretch
to stretch out their quadriceps
00:25:50.69\00:25:53.66
but what I do is I take it here
00:25:54.12\00:25:55.81
and I add a movement.
00:25:56.06\00:25:57.06
Remember I showed you
that muscle that goes from
00:25:57.30\00:25:59.54
the bottom of your rib,
00:25:59.66\00:26:00.78
attached to your
spine, your T 12,
00:26:01.48\00:26:03.69
and you bring it down
and you just go like this.
00:26:03.87\00:26:07.06
And you repeat this about...
00:26:07.72\00:26:09.39
30 seconds, and
you do about 3-4 sets,
00:26:10.03\00:26:13.36
and you do both
sides of the body.
00:26:13.66\00:26:15.39
therefore your muscles relax,
00:26:15.57\00:26:17.87
pain is dissipated.
00:26:18.42\00:26:20.48
A lot of simple
things you can do at home
00:26:20.63\00:26:22.69
to prevent or
treat low back problems.
00:26:22.81\00:26:25.21
If you've got questions get
a doctor's evaluation first.
00:26:25.42\00:26:28.09
If you want more
information, simply go to:
00:26:28.30\00:26:30.60
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:40.27\00:26:42.78
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:42.81\00:26:45.30
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:26:45.87\00:26:49.27
our educational system today.
00:26:49.30\00:26:51.45
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:26:52.09\00:26:54.36
saw schools more like a factory,
00:26:54.72\00:26:56.63
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:26:56.64\00:26:59.39
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:26:59.42\00:27:01.39
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:01.84\00:27:04.39
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:04.40\00:27:07.24
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:07.39\00:27:09.78
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:09.87\00:27:12.42
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:12.66\00:27:15.21
long since passed.
00:27:15.22\00:27:16.60
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:17.87\00:27:21.21
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:21.30\00:27:25.30
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:25.57\00:27:28.03
Well friends
that's it for today.
00:27:41.27\00:27:43.27
We all know someone who
could use our NEWSTART program,
00:27:43.72\00:27:47.24
maybe you have a family member
or a church member or a friend,
00:27:47.72\00:27:50.63
that needs to lose some weight,
00:27:51.18\00:27:52.69
or maybe they're
dealing with diabetes.
00:27:52.70\00:27:54.60
Pick up that phone
and give us a call,
00:27:55.21\00:27:57.06
at:
00:27:57.27\00:27:58.45
