00:23 Hi friends, and welcome to another edition of NEWSTART NOW.
00:27 We have in our studio with us today Carol Higgins, 00:30 all the way from Africa. 00:32 And I'd like to show you a clip when she 00:34 first arrived here at the NEWSTART program. 00:38 Well I had a friend, 00:41 that was here a couple months ago, 00:43 and he and I have been trying to lose 00:45 weight together for many many years. 00:48 I have some arthritis and some digestive issues, 00:51 low blood sugar problems. 00:52 So I just don't want to go into being a diabetic. 00:56 The nutritionist tells me I need to lose about 70 pounds, 01:00 and I'm hoping to gain a better 01:03 understanding of how to eat properly. Yeah. 01:06 Sixty-six years has gotten me this body! 01:09 I don't want to finish out my life 01:11 with this body the way it is. 01:14 That's kind of bottom line-- I'm ready for a change. 01:20 Welcome back friends, and in our studio, Carol. 01:23 How are you, dear? Good to see you! 01:25 Fine, thank you. 01:26 Yeah, now I want to get right into this interview, because 01:29 I know you shared with us before we went on the air here 01:33 that you've gone through some incredible changes. 01:37 Can you speak to us about that? 01:39 Well, if I can get over these tears... 01:41 Ah! Sorry! 01:44 Yes, I have... 01:45 I have really experienced some change, 01:47 and I was thinking today if you could only measure 01:52 attitude in milligrams or inches or something, 01:57 that I've probably grown quite a few inches this... 02:01 this week, these last two and a half weeks, 02:04 because my attitude has changed so much. 02:07 So what I'm hearing you say is 02:09 that maybe you have a little hope? 02:11 I have a lot of hope! 02:13 Because looking at golden years, 02:16 you... you... 02:18 I have hope that my golden years will be happy instead of 02:22 depressing. 02:26 So... 02:27 what are these tears about, 02:29 other than that hope? 02:31 You were experiencing some good changes. 02:33 Can you tell us about that? 02:35 I can. I have a vocational school 02:37 in Uganda at the orphanage. 02:40 And I was thinking about this 02:42 because when the kids come in to us as... 02:45 they're hopeless because they've failed in school, 02:48 and what's left for them is vocational school. 02:52 And so they come in, and I try to get... 02:54 I try--in the first week I try to have them experience success. 02:59 And... 03:01 And at the end of the year they are standing tall. 03:06 And now I have experienced 03:08 coming someplace where I felt hopeless, 03:12 and I'm standing tall. 03:14 - God bless you. 03:16 My blood sugar is down, and my... 03:21 ah, my...what do you call it? Tri... not-- 03:24 - Triglycerides? 03:26 Cholesterol? - Cholesterol is down. 03:28 - Down? Yes. - My pulse is down. 03:31 And... - And you're up! 03:32 And I'm up! That's right! 03:34 - All these things are down and you're up! 03:36 I've only lost four pounds, but I've lost three inches. 03:40 - My word. - And I'm just... 03:42 I'm excited that I'm on a... 03:45 I'm on a good path. 03:47 And I want to exercise. 03:48 I was not exercising at all before. 03:51 And I was actually... 03:54 dancing down the path the other day! 03:57 It was very exciting to have energy again. 04:00 - Oh, praise God. 04:03 You know, did Dr. Lukens tell you about 04:05 the lady we had come through the program 04:07 that lost four dress sizes and didn't lose a pound? 04:12 I like that. 04:13 - Well you're just, you're sharing again that 04:17 your body, when it gets in the condition 04:20 it's quote "supposed" to be in, 04:22 the body that God gave us, 04:24 then it doesn't necessarily have to lose weight, 04:28 but you start shrinking. 04:29 It happened to me, as well. 04:31 So what else? 04:32 What else did you like about 04:34 being here at the NEWSTART program? 04:36 Well, I always thought that 04:37 people that ate tofu were really weird. 04:41 - [laughter] 04:42 - Some of us are a little weird! 04:44 - Yeah. 04:45 And now I'm eating tofu and making it. 04:48 - Oh no! - Fixing it myself... 04:50 I hope you don't think that you're getting weird on us. 04:52 I'm afraid I am. - Okay. 04:54 - Well, God bless you for being weird. 04:55 Yep. If this is what weird's about, I'm okay. 04:58 - Good, good. 05:00 So you see vegans and vegetarians 05:04 in a whole new light. 05:06 I do, yeah. 05:07 I'm excited to be able to share this with my family, 05:12 and they're already asking questions, so... 05:14 That's what I'm hoping for, 05:16 is for them to ask questions without me having to 05:19 say, "Do this, do that." 05:21 Because they'll listen if they're asking questions. 05:24 Now I introduced you as coming all the way from Africa, 05:28 from Uganda, 05:29 and on the screen during the first interview 05:34 it said you were from Oregon. - Mhmm. 05:35 Is that where your US home is, in Oregon? 05:39 That's where we're from, 05:40 and that's where our ministry is based from. 05:43 - And how long have you been in Africa? 05:45 We've been there 11 years this month. 05:48 - Wow. - Mhmm. 05:49 What a ministry, to help these poor, 05:51 underprivileged children. 05:53 - It is. 05:54 - Its' probably the toughest thing we've ever done, 05:57 but the most fruitful. 05:59 And we're opening a new cafe when we get back, 06:02 when I get back, 06:03 and it's gonna be... 06:05 vegan. 06:06 Right on. [laughter] 06:08 You'll bring something to these... 06:10 - We're going to start it that way, 06:11 so we don't have anything to change. 06:13 Wonderful, wonderful. - Yep. We'll try it. 06:15 See what happens. 06:17 Okay, so I want to talk about the staff here, 06:18 because we haven't said anything about them. 06:20 You've met of course 06:22 everyone on staff, that is the NEWSTART staff. 06:27 Can you say anything about Viola, for instance, 06:31 our chaplain? 06:33 Oh, she is such a dear spirit. 06:37 I just love her so much, 06:39 and she's gentle, and listened to me, 06:43 and just ministered to me. 06:45 Her teachings were... 06:47 were right on for me 06:49 and ministered to me. 06:51 - Alright. - Yeah. 06:53 - Commitment. 06:54 Commitment? - Mhmm. 06:56 That's the bottom line. 06:59 What about the exercise that you learned here? 07:03 Did you learn how to do some new things with your body? 07:06 I did. I didn't know I could do some of those things. 07:10 Some of them I'm still working on. 07:12 It's not working like it should. 07:15 But yeah, I'm stretching and exercising, 07:19 and Jerry and Rick were both fun to follow. 07:24 Now, what was your favorite part 07:27 of your stay here so far? 07:30 Sally in the kitchen, 07:32 I think, has really put wings to the whole program, 07:37 because without the teaching of cooking, 07:40 how... 07:41 how would we know how to do this? 07:44 And the food was so wonderful. 07:47 You know, Sally's been here like 25 years. 07:50 And she is the cooking school instructor 07:54 Sally Christensen. 07:56 Some of you already know her, 07:58 but some of you are going to meet her 08:00 in the not-too-distant future. 08:01 She's absolutely marvelous, what she does in the kitchen. 08:05 By the way, we have a Reversing Diabetes program 08:09 beginning May 31. 08:11 I don't know if this will broadcast by then, 08:14 but Sally will be participating 08:16 with Neva Brackett in the cooking lectures 08:20 that will be going on there. 08:22 I bought Neva's books. I'm excited about...that. 08:26 - Yes, good for you! 08:27 You know what I really liked about the staff 08:30 is that the doctors walked, 08:33 they ate with us and talked with us. 08:35 We had access to them. 08:37 Literally--I've never been able to ask a doctor just... 08:41 simple little stuff, you know? - Yeah! 08:44 They were accessible to us, and they loved us, 08:46 and they prayed with us. 08:49 That's pretty amazing. 08:50 What Carol is saying is 08:52 not only true, but I want to elaborate a little bit. 08:55 Because usually we go to a doctor and 08:58 we sign in, then the nurse calls us in. 09:01 She takes our blood pressure and 09:03 maybe looks in our ear or our eye or whatever, 09:05 and the the doc comes in, spends 5 minutes-- 09:07 that's it! 09:08 Well here the doctors will eat with you, 09:11 because they eat with the guests every day, 09:13 all three meals. 09:15 Not necessarily do we advise three meals for everyone, 09:18 but they're there-- they make themselves available. 09:21 And after your interview with the doctor, 09:24 I know that they take us out-- 09:27 they took you out, I'm sure-- 09:29 and walked on the trail. 09:30 And what they do is that they observe, 09:32 make sure that you're not strenu--you know, 09:34 hurting yourself, basically. 09:37 - So I think that's wonderful. 09:39 I thought that was just... the cat's meow. 09:42 You know, another thing is, 09:44 I did change. 09:45 The first day, I changed to eating only 2 meals a day. 09:49 And I was AMAZED 09:52 that I wasn't hungry the next morning. 09:54 I was amazed! - Yes! 09:57 And I haven't eaten any meal at night, 10:00 except when we went to Doctor Lukens' house 10:02 that night for fellowship. 10:05 And I was hungry the next morning. 10:07 And no snacks in between, right? 10:09 No, I had no contraband. 10:10 - [laughter] No M&Ms. 10:13 Nope. Nope. 10:15 Well Carol, we've run out of time. 10:16 I want to thank you for being here. 10:18 God bless you in your work in Africa. 10:21 And friends, thank you for joining us, 10:23 but don't go away! 10:24 Because we're going to interview Doctor Lukens in just a moment. 10:29 Well, you've done very well. 10:37 Do you have diabetes, 10:38 heart disease, high blood pressure, 10:41 or do you weigh too much? 10:43 Hi, my name is Dr. Ing, and I'd like to tell you 10:46 about our 18-day NEWSTART lifestyle program. 10:49 It includes a comprehensive medical evaluation 10:52 with laboratory studies and an exercise stress test, 10:56 physician consultations, 10:58 culinary school, 11:00 and an opportunity to walk on beautiful trails 11:03 in the foothills of the Sierras. 11:07 Your health is one of the most 11:08 important things that you have. Don't wait. 11:11 Give us a call at: 11:16 Or visit our website: 11:35 Welcome back, friends, and as I promised, Dr. Lukens. 11:39 It's always so good to see you. 11:41 We've got some exciting people here, huh? 11:43 Yes we do, and I-- 11:45 - And they're excited. And you're excited, I can tell! 11:47 We're going to be talking about Carol, 11:50 and I want to get into the situation of 11:54 hypoglycemia. You call it something different? 11:57 - Can you talk about that? 11:58 Yeah, the...the term... - Reactive? 12:00 Yeah, reactive hypoglycemia. 12:02 - Yeah, tell us what that means. 12:04 Well what's happening is that 12:06 a person generally will be overweight, 12:08 and one of the things that they tell them to do is 12:12 eat every two hours. 12:14 Now you can imagine what a good thing that is 12:17 for your digestive system, 12:19 and how easy it is to take care of your weight 12:22 when you're on that, you know. 12:24 But I had a cousin that had that, 12:26 and what they have, 12:27 is they end up by doing this, but... 12:31 because of their being overweight, 12:33 and it's kind of like pre-diabetes, 12:35 frequently they go into full diabetes. 12:37 And she realizes that possibility is there. 12:40 The insulin goes more and more and more, 12:43 and so after a while, 12:45 when they keep pouring out more and more insulin, 12:48 then their pancreas is going to wear out 12:51 because it's overused. 12:52 And then they won't be able to keep the insulin enough 12:57 so that it can help them when they're still overweight. 13:00 So we come back to it again. 13:02 What's the answer to diabetes? 13:04 - Weight loss. Okay. 13:06 How do you get rid of it? Lose the weight. 13:09 How do you lose the weight? Exercise. 13:12 Well how do you get rid of hypoglycemia? 13:15 Three to five miles a day, 13:17 eating whole plant foods, and that's it. 13:20 If it's not going down, 13:22 then there's something wrong with your program. 13:24 So how about this hypoglycemia thing? 13:27 Reactive. It's reactive because 13:29 there's so much insulin that's coming into the situation. 13:32 - How do you slow it down? 13:33 Well, you don't. 13:35 Because the body's going to respond when you eat 13:38 simple carbohydrates. 13:40 And it raises your blood sugar. 13:43 Your body's going to respond. 13:44 It doesn't want that blood sugar to be high. 13:46 because if it continues on being high and high and high, 13:49 then after a while you start getting 13:51 the problems that the diabetics get. 13:54 And so the insulin comes surging in, 13:57 and you know, a half hour, an hour, 14:00 maybe longer after you've finished your meal, 14:04 your blood sugar starts going down, 14:06 and it goes down and down, and... 14:07 it reaches a normal level. 14:09 And then it goes down lower and lower. 14:11 And pretty soon you start feeling anxious, 14:14 you start feeling clammy, 14:16 you start feeling jittery, 14:19 and you start feeling nauseated. 14:21 What is this from? 14:22 It's because when our blood sugar gets too low, 14:26 then adrenalin starts pouring in 14:29 because that will raise the blood sugar. 14:31 And there you go-- you're on this cycle. 14:33 And my cousin had to quit teaching for a while, 14:36 because she would get sick headaches, 14:39 she would actually throw up. 14:42 Sometimes in front of the class she would pass out 14:45 and just fall to the floor. 14:46 I mean, what kind of...? 14:48 How can you teach a class like that? 14:50 This lady is a wonderful missionary 14:53 over in Uganda, and she's seen some things 14:55 that you would never even want to hear about. 14:58 But she's gotten all these orphan kids, 15:00 and she's brought them in, 15:03 and it's a wonderful thing. 15:05 There's over 200 orphans that are there. 15:06 And it keeps building! 15:08 But here she is, she's got all these responsibilities, 15:11 all this stuff that she has to do, 15:12 and she gets these reactive hypoglycemia spells. 15:17 And she didn't know what to do, 15:19 and they're getting worse, and things are a problem. 15:24 Since she came here and is on the whole plant foods whole, 15:27 she doesn't have those big sugar surges. 15:29 She's only had that reaction once. 15:32 Wonderful. - And so, and... 15:34 And she's thrilled. 15:35 - Praise God. - She's thrilled about that. 15:37 Yeah, that's thrilling! 15:39 I keep telling everybody, "Lose the weight, 15:41 and the diabetes will go away. Lose the weight, 15:43 your reactive hypoglycemia will go away." 15:46 - And so the person says, 15:48 "How do you do that?" you know. 15:49 So--is she losing weight? 15:51 She hasn't lost hardly any. 15:53 Is she getting healthier? You bet she is. 15:56 And so she's excited about that. 15:58 What will happen as she continues on with this program? 16:02 The weight will come off. 16:04 And as it does, this will be a thing of the past. 16:08 Also she's complaining about the knees, the hips, 16:12 and all the weight on the joints, 16:14 the osteoarthritis and those kind of things. 16:17 What is that from? 16:20 - Too much weight. 16:21 It's gotta be weight. 16:23 - Pushing down on those and grinding those joints. 16:25 So there it goes back to that. 16:27 The... 16:28 I don't know how it is, because Africa 16:30 is becoming Westernized now. 16:32 And I'm understanding that people over there now-- 16:34 see this is 20 years since I was there. 16:36 I only saw two heart attacks. 16:38 Two heart attacks in 15 years of practice. 16:42 And now they say 16:44 no, they're having heart attacks over there, 16:46 and people are having diabetes over there, 16:50 and some of the countries are eating 16:51 a lot of beef and stuff like that. 16:53 They're going to have real problems. 16:56 They already have-- they're starting to have that. 16:59 With regards to Carol now, 17:01 you say that she needs to continue to lose weight. 17:04 But I also have heard you say that 17:06 she's come down a couple of sizes. 17:09 and not lost a whole lot. - No, I don't know that. 17:11 You know, when they measure her, 17:13 but she's... her clothes are fitting 17:16 a little bit better, yeah. 17:17 Yeah, she even said that to me. 17:19 - Yeah. - Uh, so... 17:21 - And so, they'll... 17:22 You know, it's not unusual for a person to come in, 17:25 and that's that-- We've talked about this before, 17:28 the metabolic thing, 17:29 where you have the big girth and the high blood pressure, 17:32 and then your blood sugars aren't under control, 17:34 your cholesterol's out of control, 17:36 and your triglycerides are too high. 17:38 That's the five different things, you see? 17:40 And her cholesterol when she came in was like 17:43 250 plus. 17:45 And it's down 30, and that's... 17:49 that's pretty good for somebody who's overweight. 17:52 Especially the women. They don't tend to lose 17:55 their cholesterol and their weight as fast 17:58 as the men can. 18:00 So what advice do you have for our viewers 18:02 that they can practice 18:04 in their own homes, on a daily basis? 18:08 Well see, what we've got is we've got people here that... 18:12 If she's got the pain in her joints, 18:14 what is she going to do? 18:15 Is she going to feel like going out there 18:17 and doing all these miles? 18:18 Not exactly. - [chuckle] 18:20 We have some people here that because of 18:23 their back and their neck and so forth, 18:25 they really...they can't-- 18:26 They don't even feel that they can do upper arm exercises 18:30 with like a 2-pound weight in each hand. 18:33 And that's some of the things that they can do. 18:35 Some people can get on a stationary bike. 18:38 But as we see people do this, 18:40 as they get into this kind of a dietary, 18:45 it's anti-inflammatory. 18:47 And those pains can go away. 18:49 They can go away... start going away within 18:52 a few days or weeks. 18:54 And we've had people that came in 18:56 with bone on bone, 18:59 and they say, "Well, there's nothing I can do about that." 19:02 Yes, there is. 19:03 The inflammation and the pain goes down 19:06 and then they start putting some fibrous tissue in there, 19:10 and after a while, 19:11 they don't have to have that joint replaced. 19:13 It takes time, it takes patience, 19:15 but as she can exercise... 19:17 But you have to start somewhere. 19:19 I told one of my patients just today, 19:20 "Walk 50 steps, 19:23 turn around, and walk 50 steps back, 19:26 and then sit, relax. 19:29 Get up again in 15 minutes 19:32 and do that over again." 19:33 We have people come in in a wheelchair, on oxygen, 19:37 in pain, 19:38 and away they go at the end of the program. 19:41 They're walking the Half-Mile Loop, some of them. 19:44 Some of them are walking less. 19:45 But they're getting started. 19:48 And we know that as a person does that... 19:50 In three months, they've done things where 19:52 people can get out of assisted living 19:54 for an extra 10 or 12 years. 19:58 I mean, that's unheard of. 19:59 - So you're saying exercise is cumulative. 20:02 You don't have to walk for long periods of time 20:05 necessarily, as long as you get started? 20:07 Is that what you're saying? - Yeah, and...and... 20:08 when you're exercising, 20:10 your metabolic rate is going up, and your muscles 20:16 for the next 24 hours are going to burn more sugar 20:19 than they did if you're sedentary. 20:21 Muscles are really happy to take sugar out of the blood. 20:23 When they need it, they'll get it, 20:26 and they're after it. 20:27 But you know, I thought, well... 20:29 I knew that that the overweight diabetic 20:33 was somebody that their pancreas... 20:34 we've got things that'll 20:36 whip it again, whip it again, 20:38 and make more and more insulin. 20:39 That's not what they need. 20:41 This lady doesn't have diabetes yet. 20:43 But her insulin is surging in there, 20:45 and now her life... 20:47 her life is miserable at times 20:51 because she has these things. 20:52 If you're nauseated, if you're... 20:54 if you're just feeling terrible and anxious 20:58 and your blood sugar is dropping so low 21:00 that you're just shaky and sweaty, 21:02 I mean, what are you gonna do? 21:03 That's all you can think about until that's passed. 21:06 That's like life-threatening. - Yep. 21:08 So any last words of advice? 21:11 Do this if you have reactive hypoglycemia. 21:14 Come and we'll help you out. 21:16 That's wonderful. - It happens. It works. 21:18 It happens all the time. - In a short period of time. 21:21 And I want to thank you for joining us, Doctor Lukens. 21:23 It's always my pleasure. 21:25 - It's always good to see you. 21:26 - Yep, really good. 21:28 And thank you for joining us, folks, 21:29 but don't go away. 21:31 We have an important tip for you right after this. 21:47 Welcome to NEWSTART at Home. 21:49 I'm Dr. David DeRose. 21:50 Today we're speaking about a problem 21:52 that's very common in medical offices. 21:54 It's likely that you or one of your loved ones 21:56 have experienced it. 21:58 The topic is frozen shoulder. 22:00 And with me is Jerry Flores. 22:02 Jerry is a therapist at Weimar Center of Health and Education, 22:06 part of the NEWSTART program. 22:07 Jerry, do you see a lot of problems with frozen shoulder? 22:10 Yes I do. As a matter of fact, 22:12 that's one that comes in frequently. 22:15 And we do treat it. 22:17 The medical term is adhesive capsulitis. 22:20 And the word 'adhesive' 22:22 means that things just are like glue there. 22:25 They tighten up, 22:27 they atrophy, 22:28 and I'm going to give one example. 22:30 For example, let's say you break your arm. 22:32 You get it in a cast. They cast it. 22:35 Two months later, your broken bone is healed, 22:38 but you didn't use your shoulder joint at all, 22:41 or very little. 22:43 And then you get up to this to put on a shirt, 22:45 and all of a sudden, "Ouch!" 22:47 You can't go above there and you've got excruciating pain. 22:49 Okay, so you're not... 22:51 A frozen shoulder doesn't mean necessarily 22:53 that they just can't move their shoulder at all. 22:55 They've just got severely limited range of motion. 22:57 Yes, limited range of motion. 23:00 Usually, they could go up to about 60 to 90 degrees, 23:04 but they can't go up above that, 23:05 the full 180 degrees, all the way up to... 23:08 your...ear. - Okay. 23:11 So Jerry, from our experience 23:13 it's very likely that many of the folks tuning in today 23:16 either have some shoulder limitations 23:18 or they know someone who does. 23:20 What can you do to help them? 23:21 What can they do at home to get some help? 23:24 Right. Well, the first thing that I'd like to do is, 23:26 it's a frozen shoulder, right? 23:28 So I just like to thaw it. 23:30 - Okay, fair enough. 23:32 - Thaw out the frozen shoulder. 23:33 You thaw out the frozen shoulder. 23:34 So you just apply some heat. 23:36 A hot pack. 23:37 You take an epsom salt bath, 23:39 which is very good. 23:41 We know it relaxes muscles. 23:43 And that helps. But then the key... 23:46 The key to... 23:49 helping a frozen shoulder is that 23:51 you gotta use a simple formula, 23:53 for a comfort scale. 23:56 What I do is I teach people how to use colors. 23:59 Red, yellow, and green. 24:03 - Just like a stop light. - Just like a stops light. 24:05 Or... 24:06 green, yellow, and red. 24:08 Green - no discomfort at all. 24:11 Keep going. 24:12 Keep going, yes. 24:13 Yellow - warning! 24:15 But it's still okay to go, 24:17 and in this case it would be 'move'. 24:19 And red, which means stop. 24:22 Too much discomfort, 24:23 therefore you don't continue 24:25 with the stretch or with the pressure. 24:27 So, when you got a frozen shoulder, 24:29 and you go up here and it's okay, it's green. 24:33 But you raised it up, it gets yellow, 24:35 and then just a little bit more and it gets into the red zone. 24:38 That's where people don't know what to do. 24:40 That's when we apply the heat, 24:42 and then just stretch it out a little bit more. 24:44 And if you like, 24:46 we could demonstrate a little bit on you. 24:48 - Oh sure, sure. - Sure? Okay. 24:50 So I'm going to take Doctor DeRose's shoulder, 24:53 and let's say it was frozen. 24:55 And you tell me-- I'm going to raise it up, 24:57 and you tell me as soon as it feels uncomfortable. 25:00 Am I supposed to make believe I've got a bad shoulder? 25:02 - Yes. - AH!!! Ahhh! 25:04 Okay, right there. 25:05 We can't go past that range of motion, right? 25:07 Assuming we already applied the heat, right, 25:10 we got more blood flowing there, more oxygen, 25:12 water, and nutrients. 25:14 So then what I do is I start... 25:16 Of course, you're lying down on a table, right? 25:18 And what I do is I start 25:21 just moving it just a little bit, 25:24 and I don't go past the yellow. 25:26 But then I do something. 25:27 - Okay, what do you do? - I stretch it out. 25:29 And I let the arm relax, and I go. 25:31 And I pull on the shoulder. 25:34 Okay, on the shoulder joint, like this. 25:36 - If I were laying down I wouldn't be moving so much. 25:38 Exactly. Right. - My weight would keep me there. 25:40 So then that's going to loosen up all the 25:41 tendons, ligaments, and muscles, 25:43 And that's going to allow for further range of motion. 25:47 - Ah, ah... - Okay, we're there. 25:49 We got about a degree or two. 25:50 Just a little bit more. 25:52 So then what I do is I like to push 25:54 the joint in, and rotate it. 25:58 And that breaks up a little bit of the scar tissue 26:00 that has built up, 26:01 and it allows it 26:03 to gain a little bit more mobility. 26:05 So once I'm doing that-- I'm done with doing that-- 26:08 I'm able to go 26:10 and just stretch a little bit more 26:11 and it stretches a little bit more. 26:13 Until after about an hour, an hour and a half of therapy, 26:17 in most cases, 26:18 I'm able to get about 160, and sometimes even 26:22 180 degrees in just one therapy. 26:25 but usually it takes about 2 or 3 therapies 26:28 to solve this issue. 26:29 And so presumably people could do this at home, 26:32 working on one another. - Yes. 26:34 Listen, I hope you found some very practical information 26:37 on today's edition of NEWSTART at Home. 26:39 If you want more information, simply go to: 26:52 Modern views of evolution stem all the way back 26:55 to theories developed in the mid-1800s. 26:58 Out of the same time period came ideas that shape 27:01 our educational system today. 27:04 The Common School Movement, for example, 27:07 saw schools more like a factory, 27:09 with students blindly memorizing instruction 27:11 rather than thinking for themselves. 27:14 Their curriculum was rigid and theoretical. 27:16 Instead of being flexible and practical, 27:19 it was designed to conform the individual 27:22 into a specific ideological mold 27:25 that fit the needs of an old industrial era 27:27 long since passed. 27:30 Just like our view of creation in six literal days, 27:33 we believe the Bible contains an educational blueprint 27:38 radically different from the one we see now. 27:53 Well, friends, that's it for today. 27:55 Pick up the phone and give us a call at: 28:01 And may the Lord richly bless you this day. |
