Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART Now!
00:00:23.78\00:00:27.21
In our studio
with me is Dan Powell
00:00:27.45\00:00:30.36
from Yuma, Arizona.
00:00:30.57\00:00:32.18
And Dan came to us with a
00:00:32.45\00:00:34.06
series of problems.
00:00:34.36\00:00:36.36
And what I'd like to do is go to
the clip when he first arrived.
00:00:36.60\00:00:39.69
I've been a diabetic since 1981
00:00:41.12\00:00:45.69
and my diabetes has gotten
worse, and worse, and worse.
00:00:46.45\00:00:50.33
And I'm taking
way too much insulin
00:00:50.34\00:00:53.03
and I needed something to
help me get off this insulin.
00:00:53.54\00:00:58.18
Because it's a bad
thing. I hate doing insulin.
00:00:58.63\00:01:02.60
So that's one of the
main reasons I came here.
00:01:02.63\00:01:07.39
A lot of my friends at church
00:01:07.48\00:01:09.36
have been
telling me to come here.
00:01:09.84\00:01:11.39
And here I am.
00:01:12.54\00:01:15.06
I have neuropathy
and high blood pressure
00:01:15.09\00:01:18.75
and the neuropathy is going all
00:01:19.39\00:01:22.24
the way up to
the back of my knee.
00:01:22.25\00:01:24.57
It's getting unbearable.
00:01:28.39\00:01:30.33
And I just can't do it anymore.
00:01:30.60\00:01:32.06
So that's why
I've come to Weimar
00:01:32.07\00:01:33.72
Absolutely, what I'm trying to
00:01:33.84\00:01:36.27
achieve is to get
rid of the insulin,
00:01:36.28\00:01:38.63
and to reverse my neuropathy,
00:01:39.15\00:01:41.09
and to go get my
blood pressure down,
00:01:41.12\00:01:43.18
without having
to take any pills.
00:01:43.39\00:01:45.15
Welcome back
friends. And in our studio,
00:01:48.60\00:01:50.42
Dan, how are you my friend?
00:01:50.43\00:01:51.63
I'm wonderful, thank you.
00:01:51.64\00:01:53.06
You know, I remember a whole
lot more that we talked about
00:01:53.07\00:01:56.69
since then and I'd like
to address that right now.
00:01:56.70\00:02:01.54
You were on morphine?
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.06
I was taking a 12
hour time released morphine
00:02:04.15\00:02:07.42
for the pain in
my hands and my legs.
00:02:07.51\00:02:10.48
So the neuropathy got so bad...
00:02:10.54\00:02:13.12
Now some of our
viewers can relate to this.
00:02:13.78\00:02:16.36
We have many people out there
00:02:16.45\00:02:18.24
with diabetes,
high blood pressure,
00:02:18.25\00:02:20.24
and neuropathy
from the diabetes,
00:02:20.48\00:02:22.66
and they're on
these pain killers.
00:02:22.81\00:02:24.54
But why morphine?
00:02:24.55\00:02:25.69
Well my doctor
told me that for long
00:02:26.60\00:02:28.60
term it was the
only thing I could do.
00:02:28.61\00:02:30.63
Okay.
00:02:30.64\00:02:31.63
And so, I've been doing
it. I don't like it, but
00:02:31.66\00:02:38.30
now guess what?
00:02:38.63\00:02:40.00
I'm not doing it anymore!
00:02:40.39\00:02:41.75
Alright, I knew you
were going to say that!
00:02:41.76\00:02:43.75
I'm off of it.
00:02:43.76\00:02:46.57
And my insulin, I was
taking 300 units a day.
00:02:46.81\00:02:50.60
Now I'm down to
about 90 units a day.
00:02:51.12\00:02:53.00
Wow.
00:02:53.01\00:02:54.24
Now let me just address
the audience for a moment.
00:02:54.30\00:02:56.48
We don't do an interview
before this show. This is live
00:02:56.66\00:03:00.63
and recording one shot.
00:03:00.87\00:03:03.00
So you're seeing the real deal.
00:03:03.15\00:03:04.72
Back to when you first came here
00:03:05.69\00:03:08.03
you seemed so relaxed
then like there wasn't anything
00:03:08.15\00:03:13.03
really going on.
00:03:13.18\00:03:14.24
Well, that's my nature.
00:03:14.25\00:03:15.24
That's your nature.
00:03:15.25\00:03:16.24
That's my nature.
00:03:16.25\00:03:17.24
Okay.
00:03:17.25\00:03:18.24
I feel like I've not only done
good for myself but I feel like
00:03:18.25\00:03:22.48
I've done good for
the other guests too.
00:03:22.84\00:03:26.84
I've been very
positive with them.
00:03:26.85\00:03:29.03
And when I was going
through the morphine withdrawls
00:03:29.42\00:03:32.48
I did my best to
help those ladies out.
00:03:32.51\00:03:35.87
We had 13
ladies and only 3 guys.
00:03:36.00\00:03:38.51
Wow.
00:03:38.52\00:03:39.51
And since then, like I said
I've dropped my insulin down.
00:03:39.52\00:03:45.21
I lost 20 lbs.
00:03:45.81\00:03:47.63
20 lbs.!
00:03:47.64\00:03:48.66
20 lbs. in 18 days.
00:03:48.67\00:03:49.87
I can tell!
00:03:49.88\00:03:50.87
I feel so much better,
I just praise the Lord!
00:03:52.15\00:03:55.21
He's blessed me way more
than I could've imagined.
00:03:55.66\00:03:59.60
Amen. Amen.
00:03:59.61\00:04:01.39
Your legs and your hands,
what about the neuropathy?
00:04:01.40\00:04:04.54
When I first came
here I could bearly walk
00:04:04.55\00:04:07.84
the trails
00:04:07.85\00:04:09.03
I had a really rough
time. My legs were tight
00:04:09.04\00:04:11.54
and they were really hurting.
00:04:11.55\00:04:13.03
Now I'm walking
up to 5 miles a day.
00:04:13.04\00:04:15.30
Wow!
00:04:15.31\00:04:16.30
I'm going up the hills,
I've been up misery hill,
00:04:16.31\00:04:19.03
I've been all
through the flume trail.
00:04:19.04\00:04:21.18
What's misery hill?
00:04:21.36\00:04:22.42
That's the big hill.
00:04:22.45\00:04:23.60
That's the big hill!
They call that misery hill?
00:04:23.61\00:04:26.75
They used to
call it cardiac hill.
00:04:26.76\00:04:29.51
Cardiac hill too.
00:04:29.52\00:04:30.60
But now they've changed it?
00:04:30.61\00:04:31.60
We call it misery hill.
00:04:31.61\00:04:32.60
One or the other
you got up there.
00:04:32.61\00:04:35.27
I got up there.
00:04:35.28\00:04:36.27
As well as a lot of our
heart patients who come here
00:04:36.28\00:04:40.03
for restoration of
their heart and their
00:04:40.18\00:04:42.24
cardiovascular disease
00:04:42.25\00:04:43.75
they're all
walking up that hill.
00:04:43.76\00:04:45.27
I'm leaving for home tomorrow
00:04:46.87\00:04:49.36
with a whole new attitude
00:04:49.37\00:04:51.18
and a whole new life. I
thought before I came here
00:04:51.66\00:04:54.78
that my life was over.
00:04:55.21\00:04:56.63
I really thought that.
00:04:57.03\00:04:58.48
And now, look, I can tell,
my face, my stomach is going.
00:04:58.54\00:05:06.87
I got about 20 more lbs. to go
00:05:07.27\00:05:09.15
and then hopefully I'm going
to get off insulin for good.
00:05:09.60\00:05:12.00
Good.
00:05:12.01\00:05:13.00
But NEWSTART has
just done wonderful.
00:05:13.01\00:05:15.81
Now whats going on here
Dan? I am an alumni aswell
00:05:15.84\00:05:19.36
and I have my own point of view.
00:05:19.42\00:05:21.30
But I want you
to tell our viewers
00:05:21.31\00:05:23.54
what you think
is happening here.
00:05:24.12\00:05:25.57
What's going on, is it the food?
00:05:25.58\00:05:27.60
It's the food,
it's the treatments,
00:05:27.61\00:05:29.30
it's the lectures, it's
the atmosphere, everything,
00:05:29.31\00:05:34.72
all in one.
00:05:34.73\00:05:35.72
I love the hydro treatments.
00:05:36.30\00:05:37.75
I'm a stainless
steel fabricator.
00:05:37.81\00:05:42.51
And I'm going to
fabricate some basins for myself
00:05:42.52\00:05:47.42
so I can do the hot
water cold water treatment.
00:05:47.69\00:05:50.39
Because that hot water cold
water treatment is excellent.
00:05:50.40\00:05:53.27
It's done so much good
for my legs it's unbelievable.
00:05:54.33\00:05:58.24
Now Dan, when I was here
00:05:58.25\00:06:01.09
I could feel the presence of
the Lord so deeply in my heart.
00:06:01.48\00:06:05.69
I didn't know it at the time.
00:06:05.81\00:06:07.24
I was not a Christian then.
00:06:07.60\00:06:09.03
Oh really?
00:06:09.04\00:06:10.03
I was not a Christian.
00:06:10.04\00:06:11.45
And because of the NEWSTART
program and the many people here
00:06:11.48\00:06:15.84
I was baptized 3 months later!
00:06:16.15\00:06:18.75
Oh, wonderful, praise the Lord!
00:06:18.76\00:06:21.00
So tell me, did you have
an experience like I did?
00:06:21.66\00:06:24.24
Well, I was born and
raised a Seventh-Day Adventist.
00:06:24.39\00:06:27.30
I went through Auburn Academy.
00:06:27.33\00:06:29.72
I got away from the church
after I went into the service
00:06:30.21\00:06:33.12
and I did my own
thing and I was selfish
00:06:33.15\00:06:35.87
and three years ago I was
rebaptized into the church.
00:06:36.21\00:06:40.57
At the Gila Mountain
Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
00:06:40.72\00:06:43.03
My pastor, Pastor Mel Phillips,
00:06:43.06\00:06:45.75
he's been an inspiration to
me and he really cares about me
00:06:46.81\00:06:50.18
and he's the one
who got me to come here.
00:06:50.19\00:06:52.51
And I just praise the
Lord, for my church family.
00:06:52.72\00:06:56.63
They're behind
me, they support me,
00:06:57.87\00:07:00.33
and I love them all.
00:07:00.34\00:07:02.24
Now what about the staff here?
00:07:02.66\00:07:04.18
Oh, the staff
here are wonderful.
00:07:04.45\00:07:06.42
Every one of them.
00:07:07.42\00:07:08.69
All through, the chaplain,
00:07:08.70\00:07:12.33
Jerry in massage
and water treatment,
00:07:13.06\00:07:16.21
Richard in exercise, I
can just name them all.
00:07:16.66\00:07:20.54
Well, Dr. Ing has been
my biggest inspiration.
00:07:20.84\00:07:24.48
He's been your mentor?
00:07:24.49\00:07:25.48
Absolutely.
00:07:25.49\00:07:26.69
He has been so good. He and
I are in contact all day long.
00:07:26.70\00:07:30.03
Yes.
00:07:30.04\00:07:31.03
I've been taking my
blood sugars and I've
00:07:31.04\00:07:33.39
finally gotten them down
to where I'm in the 100's.
00:07:33.40\00:07:37.24
Because I was floating
up in the 200's, 300's.
00:07:37.84\00:07:40.27
Is Dr. Ing your doctor?
00:07:40.28\00:07:41.54
Dr. Ing is my doctor.
00:07:41.55\00:07:42.69
Okay, we're going to be
00:07:42.70\00:07:43.78
talking with
him in a little bit.
00:07:43.79\00:07:45.18
Oh, he's a wonderful doctor.
00:07:45.19\00:07:46.75
All the doctors are,
Dr. DeRose, and Dr. Lukens.
00:07:46.78\00:07:51.42
They're just wonderful.
00:07:51.43\00:07:52.66
So did you think it was usual to
00:07:52.67\00:07:55.09
have access to your
doctor all day long?
00:07:55.10\00:07:57.87
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:58.48\00:07:59.48
Yeah, because I go
to veterans medical
00:07:59.63\00:08:01.63
and I'm just a number.
00:08:01.69\00:08:04.00
And when I go
to see my doctor he
00:08:04.12\00:08:05.75
doesn't even
really know who I am.
00:08:05.76\00:08:07.48
He just goes on the computer and
00:08:07.49\00:08:09.00
looks to see
where my blood is at
00:08:09.01\00:08:11.54
And I will
remain with veterans but
00:08:12.30\00:08:16.69
I'm going in with
a different attitude.
00:08:16.70\00:08:18.66
I'm going to
tell him what I need.
00:08:19.03\00:08:20.87
What I've learned here
00:08:21.66\00:08:23.15
is unbelievable.
00:08:23.54\00:08:26.09
What about your
family, when you go home,
00:08:26.18\00:08:28.45
you're on fire I can tell,
00:08:28.81\00:08:31.84
and you're absolutely
going to stay with this,
00:08:32.63\00:08:34.33
what about the
family, how are they
00:08:34.34\00:08:35.54
going to deal with it?
00:08:35.55\00:08:36.54
Well, my father is a
winter visitor to Yuma, AZ
00:08:36.55\00:08:40.27
he lives up in
Montana in the summer
00:08:40.28\00:08:42.18
and comes to
Yuma, AZ in the winter.
00:08:42.19\00:08:44.33
And my dad is
very healthy. He's 80
00:08:44.36\00:08:47.09
years old and he's in
better shape than I am.
00:08:47.10\00:08:49.24
And he's borderline
diabetic and he and my step mom,
00:08:50.21\00:08:55.48
I'm trying to get them,
00:08:56.84\00:08:58.06
I've been talking
to them on the phone,
00:08:58.07\00:08:59.75
and I want them
to go vegetarian.
00:08:59.76\00:09:02.63
I'm completely vegetarian now.
00:09:02.64\00:09:04.39
Vegan.
00:09:04.40\00:09:05.39
Good.
00:09:05.40\00:09:06.39
I'm off the
meat, I'm off the milk,
00:09:06.40\00:09:08.00
I just loved
cheese, I loved yogurts,
00:09:08.01\00:09:12.24
and milk. I could
drink a gallon of milk a day.
00:09:12.27\00:09:15.00
Easy.
00:09:15.27\00:09:16.27
So now my life has turned.
00:09:17.03\00:09:20.54
Now have you stopped any
00:09:20.72\00:09:21.84
medication while
you've been here?
00:09:21.85\00:09:23.42
I've stopped all my medications
00:09:23.45\00:09:25.72
except I'm taking a
little bit of Lisinopril.
00:09:25.73\00:09:28.39
What does the all consist of?
00:09:28.45\00:09:31.30
I was taking Gemfibrozil,
00:09:31.33\00:09:34.12
I was taking Gabapentin.
00:09:34.13\00:09:37.57
I was taking, oh 3, 4,
00:09:37.63\00:09:41.54
other things to
help my triglycerides
00:09:41.55\00:09:46.21
and I'm off everything
except the Lisinopril.
00:09:46.69\00:09:49.39
And the doctor tells
me that helps my kidneys.
00:09:49.42\00:09:56.27
That's awesome.
00:09:56.28\00:09:57.27
I'm just completely elated
00:09:57.28\00:09:59.51
Dan, I want to thank
you. We're running out of
00:09:59.57\00:10:01.81
time but thank you
for coming on the program.
00:10:01.82\00:10:04.00
It was my pleasure.
00:10:04.01\00:10:05.00
God bless you!
00:10:05.01\00:10:06.00
You too, thank you!
00:10:06.01\00:10:07.06
Friends, don't
go away because Dr.
00:10:07.07\00:10:08.69
Ing is going to be with
us right after this message.
00:10:08.70\00:10:11.66
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:22.03\00:10:23.30
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:23.31\00:10:25.39
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:25.84\00:10:27.24
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:28.12\00:10:30.81
about our 18-day
00:10:30.82\00:10:31.84
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:31.85\00:10:33.78
It includes a
comprehensive medical
00:10:34.51\00:10:36.48
evaluation with
laboratories and an
00:10:36.49\00:10:38.66
exercise stress test,
00:10:39.00\00:10:40.54
physician consultations,
00:10:41.09\00:10:42.72
culinary school,
00:10:43.45\00:10:44.63
and an opportunity
to walk on beautiful
00:10:45.18\00:10:47.54
trails in the
foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:47.55\00:10:50.12
Your health is one of the most
00:10:52.18\00:10:53.51
important things
that you have. Don't wait.
00:10:53.52\00:10:55.63
Give us a call.
00:10:56.18\00:10:57.81
Or visit our website.
00:11:00.87\00:11:02.21
Welcome back friends, and in
00:11:19.87\00:11:21.24
our studio is, Dr. Clarence Ing.
00:11:21.25\00:11:22.72
How are you, Doctor?
00:11:22.73\00:11:23.72
It's great to be here, Ron.
00:11:23.73\00:11:25.24
Before we start I just
want to remind our guests
00:11:25.25\00:11:27.81
for those who
have never met you,
00:11:27.82\00:11:29.84
you are the
medical director here at
00:11:30.30\00:11:32.30
the NEWSTART
program, is that correct?
00:11:32.31\00:11:33.72
That is correct.
00:11:33.73\00:11:35.00
Alright we got that straight.
00:11:35.03\00:11:36.60
Now we're going
to talk about, Dan.
00:11:36.84\00:11:38.60
Yes.
00:11:38.61\00:11:39.60
And Dan seems to
be a different guy
00:11:39.66\00:11:44.12
in the second interview.
00:11:44.24\00:11:46.18
He's like on top, is he
really doing that great?
00:11:46.48\00:11:50.21
Yeah, he's feeling so
much better than when he came.
00:11:50.22\00:11:54.24
He's off
medications and his blood
00:11:54.27\00:11:58.18
sugar is under
much better control.
00:11:58.19\00:12:00.81
He probably mentioned
how much insulin he was on.
00:12:01.69\00:12:03.84
He was taking 100 units
of insulin 3 times a day.
00:12:03.85\00:12:07.06
70/30 which is a mixture
of regular and NPH insulin,
00:12:07.36\00:12:11.84
with every meal and
his blood sugars were
00:12:12.00\00:12:14.18
far less than we would
want. In other words they were
00:12:16.03\00:12:19.48
way to high, they
were out of control.
00:12:19.49\00:12:22.12
So he was willing to fast,
00:12:22.48\00:12:26.60
go without eating for three days
00:12:26.61\00:12:29.39
to get started.
00:12:29.40\00:12:30.81
And during this time
we'd monitor his blood
00:12:30.87\00:12:33.12
sugars to make sure
they didn't go to high
00:12:33.13\00:12:36.15
and it was very interesting.
Even without eating any food
00:12:36.30\00:12:39.57
his blood
sugars were still high,
00:12:39.75\00:12:41.51
but not so high that we
had to give him any medication.
00:12:41.60\00:12:44.48
And then he resumed
eating and then we had to
00:12:45.72\00:12:49.15
give him a little bit
of insulin. But now he's
00:12:49.48\00:12:52.48
taking 100 units a day which
has knocked off 200 units a day.
00:12:52.66\00:12:57.72
He's better. Also,
initially when he came
00:12:58.48\00:13:01.39
he was uncomfortable because
00:13:01.69\00:13:04.45
his hands were numb
and tingling and they hurt
00:13:04.66\00:13:08.45
and also his feet,
00:13:08.57\00:13:11.42
his legs and his
feet were totally numb.
00:13:12.15\00:13:16.66
Yeah, he was on
morphine I understad.
00:13:16.67\00:13:18.00
Yeah, he was on morphine
00:13:18.01\00:13:19.00
because of the
pain in his hands.
00:13:19.01\00:13:20.39
Oh, wow.
00:13:20.40\00:13:21.42
And after he'd been
here for a week he said,
00:13:21.45\00:13:22.75
I want to stop that.
00:13:22.78\00:13:26.15
Fine if you want to stop that
we'd be happy to work with you.
00:13:26.16\00:13:29.06
He had a tough few days
but he said he'd done it
00:13:29.36\00:13:31.45
before and he wanted to get
off of some of those medicines.
00:13:31.46\00:13:34.30
Is this
something that we've done
00:13:34.31\00:13:36.45
continuosly here at
the NEWSTART program,
00:13:36.46\00:13:39.48
assist people in
getting off of medications?
00:13:39.63\00:13:42.15
We've had people
want to get off of
00:13:42.16\00:13:43.57
medications and if
they're willing to that
00:13:43.58\00:13:46.09
we're willing to work with them.
00:13:46.36\00:13:48.24
So he's done very, very well,
00:13:48.54\00:13:50.21
he's stopped that medication,
and he's lost 20 lbs.
00:13:51.09\00:13:54.48
One of the fascinating
things about his blood work was
00:13:54.81\00:13:59.15
that his triglycerides
were really, very high.
00:13:59.30\00:14:01.81
I'm not sure if he told you
the number but I think it was
00:14:01.82\00:14:04.21
876 which is quite high.
00:14:04.57\00:14:08.30
They're still high now
but they came down to 461
00:14:08.39\00:14:13.75
which 415 points
lower than what they were.
00:14:13.78\00:14:16.30
And that's even
with stopping one of his
00:14:16.72\00:14:18.48
medications that help
lower his triglycerides.
00:14:18.49\00:14:21.60
So his diet and lifestyle
have made a big impact.
00:14:21.69\00:14:25.42
And now he says
that his feet which
00:14:25.72\00:14:28.30
weren't hurting
before are starting to hurt.
00:14:28.31\00:14:30.30
Which means he's getting
feeling back in his feet.
00:14:30.87\00:14:33.78
And the pain in the feeling
he has is not that painful.
00:14:34.06\00:14:39.48
So he's getting
feeling back in his feet.
00:14:39.87\00:14:41.81
So it's a welcome pain.
00:14:41.82\00:14:44.72
Yeah, it's uncomfortable
but something he can tolerate
00:14:44.73\00:14:49.54
and now he has
feeling in his feet.
00:14:49.69\00:14:51.87
And his blood
sugar is likewise as
00:14:52.54\00:14:55.42
we've worked
with him to manage his
00:14:55.43\00:14:58.27
insulin and his eating
00:14:58.57\00:15:00.48
because he's primarily
just eating 2 meals a day.
00:15:00.49\00:15:03.42
His blood sugars are
now within a normal range
00:15:04.03\00:15:08.45
with the medication.
00:15:08.46\00:15:09.72
So he's using a
short acting insulin and
00:15:10.51\00:15:12.45
a long acting
insulin and doing very well.
00:15:12.46\00:15:15.03
Now when he leaves here,
00:15:15.27\00:15:16.69
will you, or will
he be doing follow up,
00:15:16.70\00:15:20.69
as in calling you
and asking for advice,
00:15:21.24\00:15:24.21
or will you be
working with his doctor,
00:15:24.22\00:15:27.06
how does that all play out?
00:15:27.21\00:15:28.42
Well I certainly
hope he'll contact me
00:15:28.45\00:15:32.21
because on my final instructions
00:15:32.39\00:15:34.42
I told him what
I wanted him to do.
00:15:34.43\00:15:36.51
Whole plant foods eaten whole,
00:15:38.42\00:15:40.48
take some B12 everyday,
00:15:40.49\00:15:42.27
walk at least 3
to 4 miles a day,
00:15:42.42\00:15:44.75
and I gave him a
goal for losing weight.
00:15:45.03\00:15:47.45
Lose about 5 pounds a
month until he gets down to
00:15:47.63\00:15:50.87
the weight we talked about.
00:15:51.27\00:15:52.84
He, and May, who is my
wife who is also a dietitian,
00:15:53.72\00:15:57.75
the three of us together
decided on a weight goal for him
00:16:00.39\00:16:04.30
and working at about 5 lbs.
00:16:04.45\00:16:05.72
a month he should
be able to get there.
00:16:05.73\00:16:07.66
And since he has email
he's meant to report to me
00:16:07.84\00:16:11.24
at least once a month about
his progress, and blood sugars,
00:16:11.42\00:16:15.84
and he knows how to
contact me because he has my
00:16:16.39\00:16:18.51
home telephone number,
00:16:18.84\00:16:20.27
actually he has
my cell phone number.
00:16:20.28\00:16:22.45
Because that's how I've been
tracking and following him here.
00:16:23.42\00:16:26.75
When he takes his blood sugar he
00:16:27.06\00:16:29.57
reports to me and
says, what should we do?
00:16:29.58\00:16:32.30
So now he's got a handle on it
and knows what he needs to do.
00:16:32.39\00:16:35.39
And so it's not unusual for a
00:16:36.24\00:16:40.48
doctor here at
the NEWSTART program
00:16:40.49\00:16:42.72
to follow up on
guests once they leave?
00:16:43.03\00:16:45.27
That's right, if the guest
wants to have someone to talk to
00:16:45.66\00:16:50.30
all of my patients get
my home telephone number.
00:16:50.48\00:16:52.81
That's awesome.
00:16:52.82\00:16:53.81
And they can call me
anytime of the day or night.
00:16:53.82\00:16:55.81
I know that to be true,
00:16:56.00\00:16:57.84
because when I
first met you 7 or 8
00:16:58.03\00:17:00.78
years ago it was on the phone
00:17:00.79\00:17:03.15
and you returned
a phone call from me
00:17:03.39\00:17:06.33
and it was about ten
o'clock at night when we talked.
00:17:06.45\00:17:09.57
Sometimes I don't
get to make my phone
00:17:09.69\00:17:11.51
calls until then
because that's when I get home.
00:17:11.52\00:17:13.69
So do you think that Dan is...
00:17:14.36\00:17:16.66
You know, we've done this
00:17:16.67\00:17:18.03
program for about
a year now doctor.
00:17:18.04\00:17:20.30
and we've seen all these
00:17:20.72\00:17:22.42
wonderful changes that
people are going through,
00:17:22.43\00:17:25.21
is it typical
in your experience?
00:17:25.51\00:17:27.87
It seems to be in mine now,
00:17:27.88\00:17:29.78
that whoever
comes here gets healed.
00:17:30.27\00:17:32.60
Well they
certainly get much better,
00:17:32.87\00:17:35.45
especially those with diabetes.
00:17:35.46\00:17:37.00
The numbers that we use as far
as people with type 2 diabetes,
00:17:37.36\00:17:41.78
of which Dan was an example,
I had another individual,
00:17:42.12\00:17:45.15
and this other individual had
had diabetes for 3 years, and
00:17:45.24\00:17:49.12
she came in on
her medication, and
00:17:49.30\00:17:51.24
she stopped her medication,
it was an oral medicine,
00:17:51.57\00:17:54.69
and her blood sugars are
00:17:55.18\00:17:56.18
normal now
without any medications.
00:17:56.19\00:17:57.51
So, 4 out of 10, or 40%
00:17:57.52\00:18:00.42
of those with
type 2 diabetes usually
00:18:00.69\00:18:03.24
we find that their
blood sugars will be
00:18:03.57\00:18:06.18
normal without
having to use medication.
00:18:06.48\00:18:09.00
And those who still
have to use medication,
00:18:09.03\00:18:11.45
Dan is an example of that group,
00:18:11.46\00:18:13.27
have much better control
with far less medication.
00:18:13.54\00:18:16.27
And he's proof of that as well.
00:18:16.36\00:18:18.06
He's also proof of the
thing we've discovered, which is
00:18:18.39\00:18:23.09
with the NEWSTART
approach to diabetes
00:18:23.39\00:18:27.39
people with diabetic neuropathy,
which is what he had,
00:18:27.78\00:18:33.21
with the burning,
numbness, tingling, and so on,
00:18:33.33\00:18:36.81
we get a significant
and dramatic improvement.
00:18:37.45\00:18:40.30
So it's been very worthwhile
00:18:40.45\00:18:42.03
for him to go
through the program
00:18:42.04\00:18:44.66
and he's very pleased and happy,
00:18:44.67\00:18:46.18
with what he's been
through and what he's
00:18:46.42\00:18:50.69
accomplished and how
he's feeling right now.
00:18:50.70\00:18:53.09
So for our viewers
now, there seems to be
00:18:53.72\00:19:00.15
a lifestyle that we teach here.
00:19:01.09\00:19:03.30
Some people can't get here
for whatever those reasons are.
00:19:03.75\00:19:07.75
Is there something that
you can tell our friends
00:19:08.33\00:19:12.33
and our viewing
audience all over the world here
00:19:12.54\00:19:15.33
what they could possibly
do to help change their lives.
00:19:15.51\00:19:20.84
Well I think one of the
really important things in
00:19:21.33\00:19:24.09
helping to improve your
health is the food that you eat
00:19:24.10\00:19:27.03
and we've discovered
through experience and also
00:19:27.42\00:19:30.54
by reading the
medical literature
00:19:30.66\00:19:32.39
that the best diet is the
00:19:32.60\00:19:34.72
original one given
to man in Genesis 1:29.
00:19:34.73\00:19:38.12
And that ends up
being plant foods.
00:19:38.33\00:19:40.30
So the the
guideline we use for food is,
00:19:40.54\00:19:43.36
whole plant foods eaten whole.
00:19:43.48\00:19:46.18
So can you break
that down a little bit?
00:19:46.60\00:19:48.30
Whole plant foods eaten whole,
00:19:49.48\00:19:51.24
that means we should be
eating a plant based diet,
00:19:52.00\00:19:55.84
Right.
00:19:55.85\00:19:56.84
in their original form as
they come out of the garden?
00:19:56.85\00:20:00.18
Well sometimes you've
got to, like your wheat
00:20:00.39\00:20:05.30
you've got to process
the wheat a little bit,
00:20:05.42\00:20:09.24
eat brown rice
rather than white rice,
00:20:09.25\00:20:12.36
whole wheat flour rather
than the white enriched flour.
00:20:12.57\00:20:18.69
If it has a mother or a
face you don't want to eat it.
00:20:19.12\00:20:22.03
And another thing to remember,
00:20:22.63\00:20:23.69
your stomach is not a
graveyard for dead animals.
00:20:23.70\00:20:26.27
Those are two
important points, if you combine
00:20:27.75\00:20:30.36
those with whole plant
foods you should do quite well.
00:20:30.37\00:20:32.78
So, if it has a mother
or a face don't eat it.
00:20:32.84\00:20:36.03
That's right.
00:20:36.04\00:20:37.03
And whole plant
foods eaten whole.
00:20:37.04\00:20:38.78
That means when
you go into the market
00:20:38.81\00:20:41.72
and you go into
the produce section
00:20:41.87\00:20:44.06
you can eat anything in the
produce section, pretty much.
00:20:44.21\00:20:47.24
Yeah, all your
vegetables and things of
00:20:47.63\00:20:50.03
course and then
your whole grain cereals.
00:20:50.04\00:20:52.69
White rice is not what
you want, brown rice is.
00:20:53.87\00:20:57.21
Instead of white flour,
even enriched white flour,
00:20:58.03\00:21:00.30
you'd want to eat
whole wheat flour.
00:21:00.31\00:21:02.21
Well Dr. Ing I want to thank you
00:21:03.18\00:21:05.24
because I know you're a busy guy
00:21:05.25\00:21:07.03
running this program here,
00:21:07.30\00:21:09.15
I just want to thank
you for coming on the set.
00:21:09.16\00:21:11.51
And God bless you and your work!
00:21:11.54\00:21:13.18
It's a pleasure, thank you, Ron.
00:21:13.21\00:21:14.63
And friends I want to
thank you, but don't go away,
00:21:14.69\00:21:16.87
we have an important
message for you, right now!
00:21:16.88\00:21:19.54
Hello, welcome
to NEWSTART At Home.
00:21:34.84\00:21:36.36
We're glad
you've joined us today.
00:21:36.37\00:21:37.63
And we're also glad that
Dr. Doug Plata is with us.
00:21:37.64\00:21:40.24
He is an urgent care
specialist and trained in
00:21:40.63\00:21:43.87
family medicine and
preventive medicine.
00:21:44.27\00:21:46.36
Which means you're
just very practical.
00:21:46.48\00:21:48.12
Thank you, I hope so.
00:21:48.33\00:21:49.57
And you probably
see a lot of people
00:21:49.60\00:21:51.33
that are just kind
of axious about things.
00:21:51.34\00:21:54.03
And there's
nothing that causes more
00:21:54.36\00:21:56.30
anxiousness than maybe
a foreign body in the eye,
00:21:56.31\00:21:58.78
or in the nose! We're gonna talk
00:21:59.15\00:22:00.84
about foreign bodies
in the nose and ears!
00:22:00.85\00:22:03.09
Right, some of the most
interesting cases I've seen!
00:22:03.10\00:22:06.30
I'm sure you've seen them to.
00:22:06.31\00:22:08.09
You always hear those stories
00:22:10.57\00:22:11.78
about a kid
putting a bean in his nose,
00:22:11.79\00:22:15.18
or whatever. What
are the things you see?
00:22:15.19\00:22:17.81
Rasins, peanuts,
I don't know why,
00:22:18.09\00:22:20.27
but they just do it.
Kids, what can you do?
00:22:20.28\00:22:22.87
And who's more
troubled about it,
00:22:23.54\00:22:27.33
the child, or the mother?
00:22:27.34\00:22:28.63
Oh, by far in ways,
the parent who comes in.
00:22:28.64\00:22:31.60
Yeah, very distraught.
00:22:31.63\00:22:33.27
So, probably at
first you're like a
00:22:33.57\00:22:36.39
psychologist saying,
it's going to be okay.
00:22:36.40\00:22:38.51
Exactly.
00:22:38.52\00:22:39.51
And you kind of
do a little soothing.
00:22:39.52\00:22:42.00
But let's get to
that. What should
00:22:42.12\00:22:44.87
we start with the
nose, or the ears?
00:22:44.88\00:22:46.51
Honestly I consider
them about the same.
00:22:47.33\00:22:49.48
So, let's start with the nose.
00:22:49.49\00:22:50.66
Okay, very well.
00:22:50.67\00:22:51.66
Again the most
common thing I see are
00:22:52.03\00:22:55.69
little children who
don't know any better and
00:22:55.70\00:22:58.39
the parents will often times say
00:22:58.54\00:22:59.81
that they just
watch the kids grab
00:22:59.82\00:23:01.36
it and stick it in the nose.
00:23:01.37\00:23:02.87
It's something they
enjoy doing I guess.
00:23:02.88\00:23:05.06
And again, most commonly
00:23:05.42\00:23:08.42
rasins, kids
just love to do that,
00:23:08.51\00:23:10.84
peanuts, these sorts of things.
00:23:10.85\00:23:13.00
So what do you do?
00:23:13.03\00:23:15.00
Have they tried blowing
the nose? What do you do?
00:23:17.72\00:23:19.84
Right, right.
00:23:19.87\00:23:21.00
Often times the
mother is in a panic.
00:23:21.51\00:23:24.03
She may have
tried to get it out,
00:23:24.04\00:23:26.84
she may not have. Regardless,
00:23:26.85\00:23:29.06
in most cases it's
fairly straight forward,
00:23:29.45\00:23:32.27
we just have some forcepts
we can just reach in and get it.
00:23:32.36\00:23:35.69
It depends how far back
the kid has pushed the object.
00:23:36.03\00:23:40.57
We can use different
techniques. Sometimes
00:23:40.75\00:23:44.45
getting something past it,
and pulling it out like that.
00:23:44.48\00:23:47.84
So, is there
anything they can do at home
00:23:48.03\00:23:51.03
before they see you, what should
00:23:51.04\00:23:52.81
they try before they get there?
00:23:52.82\00:23:54.45
What I find often
times is it's not too
00:23:54.66\00:23:57.21
far in and they can
just kind of push it out.
00:23:57.22\00:24:00.78
And that often times works.
00:24:01.00\00:24:03.09
I would not
recommend this next thing for
00:24:03.45\00:24:06.57
them to do at home
because it's very dangerous
00:24:06.58\00:24:08.45
but sometimes we just
take a Q-tip and put some
00:24:08.48\00:24:11.36
super glue on
there and attatch it
00:24:11.63\00:24:13.30
on and then pull
it out like that.
00:24:13.31\00:24:14.84
But I definitely would not
recommend that. That's just
00:24:15.00\00:24:16.87
asking for trouble if it's not
being done by a professional.
00:24:16.88\00:24:19.33
That's true because they end up
00:24:19.36\00:24:21.48
with a Q-tip
glued inside their nose.
00:24:21.49\00:24:24.03
Which would
probably not be good.
00:24:24.45\00:24:25.72
Exactly.
00:24:25.73\00:24:26.75
Okay so, anything else about the
nose before we move to the ear?
00:24:26.78\00:24:30.33
Let's move on to the ear
00:24:31.45\00:24:32.48
because there was
something I've seen
00:24:32.49\00:24:34.42
that's common in the ear and
that's when people are sleeping
00:24:34.43\00:24:37.36
and they must really be
in a deep sleep because while
00:24:38.06\00:24:41.15
they're sleeping an insect
actually crawls into the ear.
00:24:41.16\00:24:43.78
This is a common thing
like a cockroach or like a...
00:24:43.84\00:24:45.84
Yeah!
00:24:45.85\00:24:46.84
And so, of course
depending on if it's a
00:24:46.85\00:24:48.84
black widow spider
you're in deep trouble but
00:24:48.85\00:24:51.09
But I haven't seen that yet.
00:24:52.21\00:24:53.21
Right.
00:24:53.22\00:24:54.21
So what do you do in
that particular case?
00:24:54.22\00:24:56.03
What can they do
at home, anything?
00:24:56.09\00:24:58.00
Well, quite honestly
I find that people don't
00:24:58.27\00:25:01.63
stay at home very
long because usually
00:25:02.36\00:25:03.66
they're on the
road and they're flying.
00:25:03.67\00:25:05.30
because it's gotta be
one of the most disturbing
00:25:05.42\00:25:07.06
things to have an insect
crawling around in your ear.
00:25:07.07\00:25:10.06
And often times there's nothing,
00:25:10.24\00:25:12.15
you try to get it out and
the insect tries to stay in,
00:25:12.24\00:25:14.57
it's trying to
get away from you.
00:25:14.58\00:25:16.00
So it's very
difficult to get out.
00:25:16.01\00:25:17.39
So if you shine a
light it freaks out?
00:25:17.40\00:25:20.51
Well actually
sometimes they'll actually say,
00:25:20.60\00:25:22.81
oh, that's the way out
and they actually follow it.
00:25:22.82\00:25:25.18
So, yeah.
00:25:25.19\00:25:26.18
You can try that,
if that doesn't work...
00:25:26.19\00:25:28.27
But usually if it's
not working and they
00:25:29.03\00:25:31.24
come to you what do
you do when they get there?
00:25:31.25\00:25:33.12
First of all what I like
to do is kill the poor insect.
00:25:33.13\00:25:36.69
Because it' going
to be a lot easier
00:25:37.48\00:25:39.21
if it's not
struggling to get out. So,
00:25:39.22\00:25:40.87
we can use alcohol and
kill it that way or spray it and
00:25:41.12\00:25:44.87
Rubbing alcohol?
00:25:45.54\00:25:46.54
Yeah, yeah.
00:25:46.55\00:25:47.54
So they can do that at home?
00:25:47.55\00:25:48.54
That's really true,
they can do that at home.
00:25:48.55\00:25:50.00
And that should
be perfectly safe.
00:25:50.30\00:25:51.48
And then we go in with sort
of needle nosed little clamps
00:25:51.49\00:25:55.06
and reach in and grab it and
sometimes it comes out in parts.
00:25:55.27\00:25:58.78
It's the reality.
00:25:59.72\00:26:01.30
You might be able to
do one other technique
00:26:02.12\00:26:05.39
I've seen and that's when you
take a syringe and wash it out.
00:26:05.40\00:26:09.21
Yeah, that can work as well.
00:26:09.22\00:26:11.24
Could they try that at home?
00:26:11.33\00:26:12.39
If they have got a syringe.
00:26:12.60\00:26:14.75
Like maybe a bulb
syringe or something?
00:26:15.00\00:26:16.78
Yeah.
00:26:16.79\00:26:17.84
We've been
talking to Dr. Doug Plata
00:26:18.15\00:26:19.48
about foreign
bodies in the ears.
00:26:19.49\00:26:21.42
Very practical
information for you.
00:26:21.45\00:26:24.66
I think there's all kinds of
00:26:25.12\00:26:26.48
information like
this on our website at,
00:26:26.49\00:26:29.36
Thank you Dr.
Plata. This was very
00:26:33.87\00:26:35.45
practical and might seem
like a small thing to you
00:26:35.46\00:26:37.75
but a small thing in the
ear is a big thing, isn't it?
00:26:37.76\00:26:39.63
That's right.
00:26:39.64\00:26:40.63
So we're glad
that you've joined us
00:26:40.64\00:26:41.63
here at NEWSTART At Home
00:26:41.64\00:26:43.12
and thank you
again for being with us.
00:26:43.13\00:26:45.42
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:53.54\00:26:56.15
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:56.18\00:26:58.57
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:26:59.24\00:27:02.54
our educational system today.
00:27:02.57\00:27:04.72
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:27:05.36\00:27:07.63
saw schools more like a factory,
00:27:08.09\00:27:10.00
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:27:10.01\00:27:12.66
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:27:12.69\00:27:14.66
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:15.21\00:27:17.66
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:17.67\00:27:20.51
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:20.66\00:27:23.24
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:23.25\00:27:25.69
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:25.70\00:27:28.48
long since passed.
00:27:28.49\00:27:29.87
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:31.24\00:27:34.57
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:34.58\00:27:38.57
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:38.84\00:27:41.30
Well folks that's it for
today. Thank you for joining us.
00:27:54.66\00:27:58.18
In the mean time pick up
the phone and give us a call at,
00:27:58.19\00:28:00.30
God bless you, have a great day!
00:28:04.21\00:28:05.63
