Hi friends, and welcome to
another addition of NEWSTART Now
00:00:23.45\00:00:27.63
In our studio with us
today we have Amy Foll,
00:00:27.64\00:00:30.27
all the way from
Chattanooga Tennessee.
00:00:30.28\00:00:33.06
We interview guests
where they have 15 or 20
00:00:33.72\00:00:39.48
different medications. We
have people with diabetes,
00:00:39.49\00:00:42.30
high blood pressure, neuropathy,
cardio this and cardio that.
00:00:42.63\00:00:47.78
Some disease we
can't even identify.
00:00:47.79\00:00:50.39
In this case, she has
come here to prevent disease.
00:00:50.40\00:00:55.06
Let's look at the clip
of when she first arrived.
00:00:55.07\00:00:58.06
At work being a
nurse, I was under tremendous
00:00:58.87\00:01:01.87
amounts of stress. I
would work 12 hour shifts
00:01:01.88\00:01:04.42
I would come
home 8, 8:30 at night.
00:01:04.43\00:01:06.69
Be famished from a
whole day of working,
00:01:06.70\00:01:08.81
not drinking enough
water, stayed dehydrated.
00:01:08.82\00:01:11.51
Then you start
getting headaches,
00:01:11.52\00:01:12.57
which I was experiencing.
00:01:12.72\00:01:14.84
Then I was eating
supper 8, 8:30 at night.
00:01:14.85\00:01:17.57
Than I just started
packing on the pounds.
00:01:17.63\00:01:19.45
I was a size 8 when I
graduated from nursing school,
00:01:19.48\00:01:21.75
and then it just
kinda slowly progressed.
00:01:22.12\00:01:24.69
I finally realized that
I've got to take charge.
00:01:24.78\00:01:28.09
I really felt convicted from God
00:01:28.27\00:01:30.21
that I really
needed to take my health
00:01:30.22\00:01:32.06
and make it a top priority,
00:01:32.07\00:01:33.54
so that I could
effectively witness to others.
00:01:33.57\00:01:35.57
If I'm not living the lifestyle
00:01:35.58\00:01:37.81
and what I know is right,
00:01:38.06\00:01:40.33
Then how can I
effectively witness
00:01:40.60\00:01:42.57
and share that with others?
00:01:42.60\00:01:43.84
Especially being a nurse.
00:01:43.85\00:01:44.84
What I would
like to accomplish is,
00:01:45.06\00:01:46.30
basically get
and stay on a regular
00:01:46.31\00:01:49.57
exercise program. I've
exercised a lot in the past,
00:01:49.58\00:01:53.48
but I really need to
stay on a consistent level.
00:01:53.78\00:01:56.45
I would like to be walking
5 or 6 miles a day or more.
00:01:56.75\00:02:01.06
Yesterday I walked 3
miles and I felt great,
00:02:01.07\00:02:03.21
I also started taking
out suppers yesterday.
00:02:03.51\00:02:07.51
I thought that I
was going to be famished
00:02:08.06\00:02:10.12
and that it was
going to be awful
00:02:10.13\00:02:12.24
but it went really
well and I feel great today.
00:02:12.33\00:02:15.72
I just plan on cutting
down on the total calories
00:02:16.12\00:02:20.33
that I've been taking
in, and just doing much
00:02:20.34\00:02:22.33
more exercising. I'm so
exited because of the support
00:02:22.34\00:02:24.66
that I feel here and
the christian atmosphere.
00:02:24.67\00:02:27.39
and just the love
00:02:27.51\00:02:28.51
that is shown by all
of the staff members.
00:02:28.52\00:02:30.54
Welcome back
friends, and in our studio
00:02:33.42\00:02:35.39
Amy how are you? -good
00:02:35.40\00:02:36.87
It is so good to see you.
00:02:36.88\00:02:38.51
You've got just
a beautiful smile.
00:02:39.06\00:02:40.78
-That clip almost
made me cry a little bit.
00:02:41.30\00:02:44.33
-Me too
00:02:44.34\00:02:45.33
Well, people are wondering,
00:02:46.33\00:02:48.18
she's young, and attractive.
00:02:48.19\00:02:50.54
She has a good job and so on,
00:02:50.55\00:02:52.57
but behind the scenes,
there are other things going on.
00:02:53.09\00:02:56.12
I'd like to adress
that for a little bit.
00:02:56.48\00:02:58.36
We know you came
here to loose weight,
00:02:58.37\00:03:00.15
to get a grip
on your food intake
00:03:00.66\00:03:03.12
so you don't
end up with diabetes
00:03:03.13\00:03:05.75
or
cardiovascular disease. -Correct
00:03:05.76\00:03:07.81
What else is going on?
Did you sell your house?
00:03:08.24\00:03:13.12
Oh! Well actually
it worked out through
00:03:14.06\00:03:17.87
divine intervention
for me to sell my house.
00:03:17.88\00:03:20.81
I put it on the
market and it had been a year
00:03:20.82\00:03:23.87
and it hadn't sold.
00:03:23.88\00:03:25.45
God sold the
house this past May.
00:03:25.46\00:03:28.06
I was so thrilled
because I had sold
00:03:28.36\00:03:30.06
all of the
furniture in my house.
00:03:30.07\00:03:31.21
I was getting
really excited because
00:03:31.22\00:03:32.63
An opportunity has
opened for me to go to
00:03:33.06\00:03:34.84
Familia Feliz in
Bolivia to work in the orphanage
00:03:35.06\00:03:37.81
and school there
because they need a nurse.
00:03:37.82\00:03:39.48
I prayed a lot
about it and I said Lord,
00:03:40.12\00:03:41.87
If you want me to do this,
00:03:42.27\00:03:43.45
If you want me to go
on this mission trip.
00:03:43.46\00:03:45.06
Actually a change in
life because I was going
00:03:45.63\00:03:49.24
to moving there.
Not just a mission trip.
00:03:49.25\00:03:50.69
Commit 5-10 years. -Wow
00:03:50.70\00:03:52.51
please you are going
to have to sell the house.
00:03:52.87\00:03:55.30
Some friend said to just
rent it out but I said no.
00:03:55.31\00:03:57.78
That is my choice.
00:03:58.06\00:03:59.06
I had a friend that
told me about a realtor
00:04:00.24\00:04:02.57
friend that he knew.
So I changed realtors
00:04:02.58\00:04:04.48
and within 3
months the house sold.
00:04:04.49\00:04:06.06
-Wow, so you got
the right realtor,
00:04:06.27\00:04:08.24
You sold your house,
00:04:08.51\00:04:09.51
You are using your proceeds
00:04:09.81\00:04:10.84
to pay off your
bills to go to Belize.
00:04:10.85\00:04:13.39
-Bolivia -Bolivia excuse me
00:04:13.87\00:04:15.78
Now, I heard a rumor and
00:04:16.21\00:04:18.48
It's all over campus now.
00:04:18.49\00:04:21.21
That you were playing
basketball the other day?
00:04:21.54\00:04:23.84
-Yeah Did you teach young guys
00:04:24.84\00:04:26.66
a thing or too?
00:04:26.67\00:04:27.84
-Well I don't know about that.
00:04:27.85\00:04:29.30
What happened was
last Sunday evening
00:04:29.31\00:04:31.87
I saw one of
the college students
00:04:31.88\00:04:33.78
shooting hoops by
himself. So I thought.
00:04:34.06\00:04:36.75
"Hey I'll go play
too, that sounds like fun."
00:04:36.76\00:04:39.63
So I asked if I could play.
00:04:39.81\00:04:41.42
We went back and
forth shooting hoops.
00:04:41.43\00:04:44.84
Than 6 other guys came.
00:04:44.85\00:04:46.36
They wanted to
play some basketball
00:04:46.66\00:04:49.30
so I thought my
time was finished.
00:04:49.31\00:04:51.78
so I'll just graciously leave.
00:04:51.79\00:04:53.42
Well they had only 7
guys and they needed one more.
00:04:53.63\00:04:56.15
I played and had a great time
00:04:56.75\00:04:59.39
and once they realized
that I could make a few shots,
00:04:59.57\00:05:01.84
they started
passing the ball to me more.
00:05:02.21\00:05:03.66
-What teem won?
00:05:03.67\00:05:04.66
-Well they won.
00:05:05.48\00:05:07.36
-But you got 8 points I know.
00:05:07.37\00:05:09.48
-right, the first game
we lost by about 7 points
00:05:09.72\00:05:12.57
because we played to 14 or 15.
00:05:12.58\00:05:14.66
Than the second game we
only lost by about 2 or 3 points
00:05:15.18\00:05:17.27
so we did a lot better.
00:05:17.33\00:05:18.36
It was a lot of fun.
00:05:18.37\00:05:19.42
-Here is a gal that comes
to learn the NEWSTART program
00:05:19.43\00:05:22.45
That is teaching our college
students how to play basketball.
00:05:22.81\00:05:26.36
How about that folks.
00:05:26.60\00:05:27.72
-Well I don't know if I'd
go that far but it was great!
00:05:27.78\00:05:29.78
I just had to add that in.
00:05:29.87\00:05:32.06
I'm sure
everybody learned something.
00:05:32.07\00:05:34.51
So while you've
been here I know that
00:05:34.78\00:05:37.21
you look so
vivacious and full of energy,
00:05:37.45\00:05:41.87
were you always like this?
00:05:42.39\00:05:44.30
-I did have a
lot of energy before
00:05:45.30\00:05:47.06
but I was wearying down.
00:05:47.07\00:05:48.18
I feel so much better now.
00:05:48.30\00:05:49.69
I feel revived spiritually,
emotionally, physically
00:05:49.75\00:05:52.48
and it has been a huge blessing.
00:05:52.75\00:05:54.51
-What do you attribute this too?
00:05:56.63\00:05:58.09
Well I tell you what.
00:05:58.78\00:06:00.06
I'm eating a lot
bigger breakfasts now,
00:06:00.30\00:06:02.06
which is making me
feel so much better.
00:06:02.07\00:06:03.84
I've continued
cutting out the suppers.
00:06:04.24\00:06:06.09
I think one
time I had some fruit
00:06:06.15\00:06:07.57
because I was hungry.
00:06:08.06\00:06:09.51
but I tell what, I
feel so much better.
00:06:09.54\00:06:11.69
I've lost almost 10 pounds. -Wow
00:06:11.70\00:06:15.48
I'm on my way and I'm
feeling so much better.
00:06:16.12\00:06:19.21
So much energy, and yeah.
00:06:19.42\00:06:22.27
Also walking 6 miles a day
00:06:22.81\00:06:24.27
I've gotten up to my goal.
00:06:24.28\00:06:25.27
Yesterday Linda and I
00:06:25.39\00:06:26.69
walked frontier trail and back,
00:06:26.70\00:06:28.87
and up cardiac hill
00:06:29.06\00:06:30.15
-Alright
00:06:30.45\00:06:31.45
Now about the program here.
00:06:31.63\00:06:34.12
What is it or was it, about the
program that you liked the most.
00:06:34.13\00:06:38.69
Well what I really need is,
00:06:39.18\00:06:40.48
I really need to
be more disciplined
00:06:40.49\00:06:41.66
and on a consistent schedule,
00:06:41.67\00:06:43.30
because at work, I
work 12 hour shifts
00:06:43.78\00:06:45.60
and than the days
off I would sleep in
00:06:45.61\00:06:47.72
I wasn't on a
consistant schedule.
00:06:47.73\00:06:49.51
I really needed to
be more disciplined
00:06:49.52\00:06:51.60
in my routine and that
has been a huge blessing.
00:06:52.09\00:06:54.72
I feel so much better.
I feel better when I wake
00:06:54.73\00:06:57.15
up in the morning.
00:06:57.16\00:06:58.48
I am going to continue this.
00:06:58.49\00:06:59.54
It has really
changed me for the better.
00:07:00.30\00:07:04.06
Now what can you
tell our younger audience,
00:07:04.69\00:07:07.33
that they can
perhaps gain by attending
00:07:08.15\00:07:11.87
the NEWSTART program?
00:07:12.27\00:07:13.48
Basically,
00:07:17.78\00:07:18.78
The best thing that
I could say is that,
00:07:19.72\00:07:22.15
Being raised an Adventist,
00:07:22.69\00:07:24.06
I knew most of the
health principles when I came.
00:07:24.07\00:07:28.24
I wasn't living them.
00:07:28.60\00:07:30.30
There is a lot of peer pressure
00:07:30.51\00:07:31.87
in a lot of
churches and social circles.
00:07:31.88\00:07:34.33
to eat cheese pizzas and
a lot of different things.
00:07:35.06\00:07:38.42
You feel almost like a
outcast in some circles
00:07:38.78\00:07:41.51
if you become a vegan
00:07:41.52\00:07:42.72
because there is
so much peer pressure.
00:07:42.87\00:07:44.81
Obviously not here at NEWSTART
00:07:44.87\00:07:46.69
because the
lifestyle is so great.
00:07:46.70\00:07:48.54
but in some areas.
So I just think that,
00:07:48.84\00:07:51.81
We should focus on
what God wants us to do.
00:07:53.06\00:07:55.06
God doesn't want
to take anything away
00:07:55.27\00:07:57.18
from us that is
for our best interest.
00:07:57.19\00:07:58.87
-Yes He wants to
help us be healthy,
00:07:59.12\00:08:01.06
happy, and whole in Him.
00:08:01.07\00:08:02.27
I think that some
young people could greatly
00:08:04.48\00:08:07.48
benefit from the program.
00:08:07.49\00:08:09.12
-That's awesome. Now your doctor
00:08:09.42\00:08:11.57
is Dr. Lukens I understand. -Yes
00:08:11.58\00:08:14.06
We are going to be interviewing
him in just a little bit.
00:08:14.07\00:08:16.66
Tell us about your
visits with Dr. Lukens.
00:08:17.66\00:08:20.06
How many visits did you have?
00:08:20.45\00:08:22.57
I think I've had a
total of 6 visits, 2 per week.
00:08:23.54\00:08:27.18
-Those are official visits. Yes
00:08:27.24\00:08:29.39
Were you able to have
breakfast or lunch with him?
00:08:29.40\00:08:33.09
-Oh yes, he
comes to the cafeteria.
00:08:33.10\00:08:35.06
Did you get a chance to
play basketball with him?
00:08:35.07\00:08:37.06
Last night he invited me to
go to one of the gymnasiums,
00:08:38.06\00:08:41.39
-See the word got around.
00:08:41.40\00:08:42.63
to play basketball but he was
00:08:43.45\00:08:46.06
a little
concerned because he didn't
00:08:46.48\00:08:47.51
want to take me away
from one of the lectures
00:08:47.52\00:08:48.51
that Dr. Ing was presenting.
00:08:48.52\00:08:50.15
So I stayed for the lecture.
00:08:50.16\00:08:51.75
He told me that it was
a lot of fun last night.
00:08:53.12\00:08:55.06
There was a lot of
people there so he said
00:08:55.07\00:08:56.27
maybe I would have sat on
the bench for a little while.
00:08:56.28\00:08:58.66
-He plays with a
lot of local physicians
00:08:59.24\00:09:01.87
and young men from
the local colleges.
00:09:01.88\00:09:04.66
They have a weekly tournament
00:09:04.67\00:09:07.42
where they play together.
00:09:07.43\00:09:09.21
He has asked me to go
but that's out of my league.
00:09:09.27\00:09:11.78
Those guys just
running up and down the court,
00:09:11.87\00:09:14.21
which I could probably use.
00:09:14.57\00:09:15.72
-Maybe it was best I didn't go.
00:09:15.73\00:09:17.69
-So what are you going
to do when you get home?
00:09:17.75\00:09:20.12
What is going to change?
00:09:20.15\00:09:21.84
How are you going to attack,
00:09:22.30\00:09:23.84
and I use that word loosely,
00:09:24.30\00:09:26.21
your new lifestyle.
00:09:26.39\00:09:27.81
We only have a few seconds left.
00:09:28.54\00:09:30.12
-First off I'm
going to make a list,
00:09:30.36\00:09:32.57
things that I need to
get at the grocery store.
00:09:32.72\00:09:34.69
I need to get a
nonstick pan, a wok,
00:09:35.06\00:09:37.75
I also need to
get a bread maker.
00:09:37.76\00:09:40.51
I am going to focus
on cooking my own meals
00:09:40.87\00:09:45.60
and taking them to work
because you go to potlucks,
00:09:46.06\00:09:48.45
work, cafeteria,
and different things.
00:09:48.46\00:09:50.24
You don't know what is
in a lot of these dishes.
00:09:50.25\00:09:52.06
That is what I'm going to do.
00:09:52.39\00:09:54.51
I am really focusing
on the nutrition aspect
00:09:56.06\00:09:59.78
and also continuing no suppers.
00:09:59.79\00:10:02.42
-Amy thank you so much
for coming on the studio,
00:10:02.87\00:10:05.51
Thank You -God bless you
00:10:05.84\00:10:07.12
in your work in
Bolivia -Yes thank you
00:10:07.13\00:10:09.36
Friends don't go away because
00:10:09.37\00:10:10.81

important message,
00:10:10.82\00:10:12.75

00:10:12.76\00:10:14.87

00:10:16.48\00:10:18.39
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:24.48\00:10:25.75
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:25.76\00:10:27.84
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:28.39\00:10:29.69

00:11:03.48\00:11:04.72
Welcome back
friends. In our studio,
00:11:22.63\00:11:24.36
Dr. Lukens.
-Happy to be back again.
00:11:24.37\00:11:26.78
What a grip, what a grip
00:11:27.63\00:11:30.06
-You're always very
charitable to people aren't you.
00:11:31.54\00:11:35.09
Well I hope so. -I
just saw what Amy said
00:11:35.42\00:11:38.48
Did you? and yeah
you're very charitable.
00:11:39.06\00:11:41.78
Well let's talk about Amy.
00:11:43.57\00:11:44.78
That's what we
are here to do right?
00:11:44.79\00:11:46.09
-Yeah
00:11:46.10\00:11:47.09
Amy is very inspiring
00:11:47.10\00:11:50.66
she has a
wonderful way about herself.
00:11:50.67\00:11:53.33
She kept the guests laughing
00:11:54.06\00:11:56.87
for the last 2 weeks.
00:11:57.30\00:11:58.84
She is very
comical in a lot of ways.
00:11:58.85\00:12:01.75
-There were some people
here in this group that,
00:12:01.84\00:12:04.87
you could just sit
and listen to them laugh.
00:12:04.88\00:12:07.06
It was that entertaining.
00:12:07.07\00:12:09.30
One of the other guests
just exploded when she laughed.
00:12:09.69\00:12:13.18
Laughter is
really a good medicine
00:12:14.09\00:12:17.09
Isn't that what proverbs says
00:12:17.10\00:12:18.39
"A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine."
00:12:18.40\00:12:21.36
Amen. You know it's wonderful
to have an interview with you,
00:12:21.42\00:12:25.18
Where we don't have to
00:12:25.48\00:12:26.54
or you don't have to
because your the doctor,
00:12:26.84\00:12:29.06
Dissect all of
these problems etc. etc.
00:12:29.54\00:12:33.18
We have a young lady
who has come to our program.
00:12:33.63\00:12:37.27
To learn a new
lifestyle to prevent
00:12:37.54\00:12:40.06
from having to
come here someday,
00:12:40.48\00:12:43.06
rather than go
into surgery or such
00:12:43.39\00:12:45.87
-Exactly
00:12:46.21\00:12:47.21
What do we do with
these folks doctor?
00:12:47.22\00:12:49.60
Are there any
differences in the way
00:12:50.30\00:12:52.54
our treatments go for them?
00:12:52.55\00:12:53.75
Well, let me veer off
of that for just a second.
00:12:54.27\00:12:58.60
You said that she
is a happy person.
00:12:59.06\00:13:01.75
If she were to come to your bed,
00:13:02.33\00:13:04.21
She works in ICU
some of the time.
00:13:04.72\00:13:06.75
She is a travel nurse.
00:13:07.42\00:13:09.42
Can you think of any time when
00:13:10.15\00:13:11.48
that might be a
little stressful?
00:13:11.49\00:13:12.84
-Oh yeah! In fact we
had one of them here.
00:13:13.15\00:13:15.84
-She can go
anywhere and be there for
00:13:15.85\00:13:18.78
2 weeks or 6 weeks or whatever.
00:13:19.15\00:13:21.54
How would you like to do that?
00:13:22.12\00:13:23.33
-I don't think so. I don't
think I'd be very good at it.
00:13:24.09\00:13:26.54
-but she is young
and she can do that.
00:13:27.27\00:13:29.54
-Are you implying that I'm not?
00:13:30.18\00:13:32.66
No no you're good.
-You didn't say that
00:13:32.81\00:13:34.57
You realize that if you
were lying there in bed,
00:13:40.84\00:13:42.66
say you were in a
automobile accident
00:13:42.67\00:13:45.06
or you just had a MRI
or something like that,
00:13:45.07\00:13:47.12
and a nurse comes up
to you with her demeanor
00:13:47.57\00:13:50.63
Would that make you feel better?
00:13:51.06\00:13:52.27
-Oh absolutely it
would make me feel better.
00:13:52.39\00:13:54.69
She has that look
of confidence about her
00:13:55.18\00:13:58.24
because she knows
what she is suppose to do.
00:13:58.25\00:13:59.75
-Yeah
00:14:00.15\00:14:01.15
and this is the person
00:14:02.66\00:14:04.42
that is not only
00:14:05.09\00:14:06.69
good at what she does,
00:14:07.33\00:14:09.36
and knowledgeable
00:14:09.66\00:14:11.33
but she is also going to
dedicate some years of her life,
00:14:12.51\00:14:18.24
to helping
people in South America.
00:14:18.78\00:14:20.63
-She has committed
5-10 years of her life.
00:14:20.78\00:14:22.84
Yeah but when you think of that,
00:14:23.06\00:14:25.54
when you think
of the implications
00:14:25.60\00:14:28.15
and stuff like that,
00:14:28.16\00:14:29.27
people would
look at her and say,
00:14:29.42\00:14:31.33
Do you think you are
doing the right thing Amy?
00:14:31.60\00:14:34.45
-Right
00:14:34.46\00:14:35.45
What did Jesus do for us? -Yeah
00:14:35.46\00:14:37.84
When she gets back she
will be so glad she went.
00:14:38.15\00:14:41.12
You heard how she
felt God was leading her.
00:14:41.45\00:14:45.06
I'm sure He is.
00:14:45.51\00:14:47.06
She put out the
fleece like she said.
00:14:47.48\00:14:49.45
Here she is going to go.
00:14:49.72\00:14:51.06
When she comes back 5, 10 years
00:14:51.30\00:14:53.54
or however long
God has her there for.
00:14:53.55\00:14:55.69
Maybe after a year
something will come up but
00:14:56.06\00:14:58.51
Thank of the joy and happiness
00:14:58.63\00:15:00.72
that will be in her life.
00:15:00.73\00:15:02.63
Sometimes we don't realize how
00:15:02.64\00:15:06.09
important this part of
it is for us in our health.
00:15:06.10\00:15:10.69
The problem is, for the
people out there listening,
00:15:11.84\00:15:15.15
they might think that
the cholesterol number,
00:15:15.48\00:15:18.09
sugar number,
blood pressure number,
00:15:18.39\00:15:22.06
and the waist
measurement are the
00:15:22.27\00:15:24.33
most important
part of their health.
00:15:24.34\00:15:27.12
The most important
part of anyone's health,
00:15:27.60\00:15:30.15
is their
relationship with Jesus.
00:15:30.75\00:15:32.54
-Amen
00:15:32.55\00:15:33.54
-And why is that?
00:15:33.55\00:15:34.75
Because we as Americans
and all over the world,
00:15:35.09\00:15:38.21
and I've been to a few places,
00:15:38.22\00:15:39.39
We all need rest
and peace in our heart.
00:15:39.81\00:15:43.30
That is one of
the things that Amy
00:15:44.27\00:15:46.27
increased while she was here.
00:15:46.28\00:15:47.81
She had time to strengthen
her relationship with the Lord.
00:15:47.82\00:15:51.81
and so she did that.
00:15:51.84\00:15:53.18
At some point doctor,
and maybe this is the point.
00:15:53.75\00:15:56.66
I would like to
elaborate a little more because
00:15:57.30\00:15:59.78
we see people come
through the program,
00:16:00.30\00:16:02.27
we've talked
about this, we wonder,
00:16:02.63\00:16:04.72
how is this possible?
How did they get well?
00:16:04.73\00:16:07.66
Doctors on the
outside couldn't even find out
00:16:08.39\00:16:10.87
what was wrong with
them. We couldn't either.
00:16:10.88\00:16:13.06
But yet they came
here and got well.
00:16:13.30\00:16:15.09
We know that it's
God's hand on Weimar.
00:16:15.54\00:16:18.72
I just know that in my heart.
00:16:18.73\00:16:20.36
God brought me here
00:16:20.78\00:16:22.30
to find a way back home.
00:16:22.78\00:16:26.06
-All through the Bible we
here about the great physician.
00:16:26.12\00:16:30.27
It is wonderful
that we understand
00:16:31.48\00:16:34.06
that God has a way
00:16:34.39\00:16:35.81
that is
different that man's way.
00:16:36.60\00:16:39.06
He didn't just say you
guys just figure it out,
00:16:39.66\00:16:42.54
He gave us some
pretty specific instructions.
00:16:43.06\00:16:45.63
We need to
figure it out and do it.
00:16:46.60\00:16:49.36
I don't want to
sound negative or anything,
00:16:51.81\00:16:54.06
but there are a lot of people
00:16:54.07\00:16:55.24
that make New Year's resolutions
00:16:56.15\00:16:58.54
There are even jokes made
about New Year's resolutions
00:17:00.45\00:17:04.33
like, do you expect that you are
00:17:04.81\00:17:06.36
going keep that
resolution for 24 hours?
00:17:06.37\00:17:09.24
I don't think God wants us
to make New Year's resolutions.
00:17:09.63\00:17:14.36
Do you know what I
think he wants us to do?
00:17:14.37\00:17:16.27
-What's that
00:17:16.28\00:17:17.27
I think he wants
us to get on our knees
00:17:17.28\00:17:19.48
and humbly ask him to
go before the father and
00:17:20.57\00:17:24.63
ask for a special blessing.
00:17:26.57\00:17:28.87
Ask that He will
give us a promise.
00:17:31.33\00:17:34.66
that will be His
eternal promise to us.
00:17:36.75\00:17:39.42
That we might have the victory
00:17:41.06\00:17:42.54
and that's how we receive it.
00:17:42.55\00:17:44.06
We receive it as a gift.
00:17:44.07\00:17:45.27
Not by standing up and saying,
00:17:45.78\00:17:47.66
I'm going to do
this even if it kills me.
00:17:47.67\00:17:50.72
Now it is good to confess
00:17:52.84\00:17:56.06
and make
announcements an stuff like that
00:17:56.07\00:17:58.09
Always say,
00:17:58.33\00:17:59.63
By God's Grace or
00:18:00.57\00:18:02.09
This is my request
that I make of the Lord.
00:18:02.39\00:18:05.78
I think the reason
that we fail so much
00:18:07.84\00:18:10.57
is because the adversary comes
00:18:11.18\00:18:12.87
and takes us and just rubs
our face down and just grinds
00:18:12.88\00:18:17.18
us with it and when we
are overwhelmed with guilt,
00:18:17.19\00:18:20.78
than the battle
is all over with.
00:18:20.79\00:18:22.39
Now back to your
question. What was it?
00:18:23.06\00:18:24.69
I'd rather keep
talking about this
00:18:25.78\00:18:28.48
-This is something that has
been weighing on my heart for
00:18:29.09\00:18:31.78
a while because
for example tonight,
00:18:32.06\00:18:35.36
we are going to have a banquet,
00:18:35.37\00:18:36.42
and almost everyone
who as come through here,
00:18:37.36\00:18:40.06
at that banquet the
Holy Sprit it there.
00:18:40.57\00:18:43.54
We can sense his presence.
00:18:43.55\00:18:45.27
There is a unity almost
like an upper room experience.
00:18:45.28\00:18:48.12
-Yes
00:18:48.13\00:18:49.12
When the people
go from that room,
00:18:50.39\00:18:52.84
they are determined that
for the rest of their life,
00:18:53.30\00:18:55.63
they are going to be 100%
perfect and do everything right.
00:18:55.64\00:18:59.36
If that's the way it was,
00:18:59.75\00:19:01.42
and Amy and I talked
about that this morning.
00:19:02.27\00:19:04.45
If that's the way it was,
00:19:04.78\00:19:06.21
and say you were 8 months of age
00:19:06.72\00:19:10.12
or 18 months when
you started walking,
00:19:10.13\00:19:12.42
what if the first
step you took you fell,
00:19:12.81\00:19:15.87
which your probably
did, everybody does,
00:19:15.88\00:19:19.45
and you said to
yourself, this doesn't work
00:19:19.78\00:19:23.30
I'm not going to try that again.
00:19:23.31\00:19:25.60
How many people
would be walking?
00:19:25.61\00:19:28.09
We would all be in
wheelchairs or whatever.
00:19:28.54\00:19:31.27
Ok we'll go back
to the medical now.
00:19:31.51\00:19:33.33
She didn't tell you all
of the different things but,
00:19:34.54\00:19:36.78
There is a lot of
heart problems and diabetes
00:19:36.79\00:19:41.27
in her family.
00:19:41.28\00:19:44.21
and she might have said
that on her first interview
00:19:44.22\00:19:46.66
Her mother has
been able to control it
00:19:47.09\00:19:49.45
after going to one of our
reversing diabetes programs.
00:19:49.46\00:19:53.87
She has been able to
control it with diet, exercise,
00:19:53.88\00:19:57.63
and lifestyle. Her
father died when he was 52.
00:19:57.64\00:20:01.27
It was a heart condition.
00:20:02.06\00:20:03.45
They don't really know
exactly why he had that.
00:20:03.69\00:20:06.36
but there are others in
her family that have had
00:20:06.69\00:20:08.27
bypass surgery and
coronary artery disease.
00:20:08.28\00:20:10.69
Here is somebody
that is medical enough,
00:20:11.36\00:20:15.87
intelligent enough
and dedicated enough
00:20:16.66\00:20:19.63
to donating her body
as a living sacrifice
00:20:20.09\00:20:24.15
to the Lord and He
is going to help her.
00:20:24.39\00:20:26.15
-Amen
00:20:26.42\00:20:27.42
He is going to help her and
she is going to reach her goals.
00:20:27.43\00:20:29.69
When she gets to heaven,
00:20:30.09\00:20:31.51
it is going to be more
than she ever realized.
00:20:32.69\00:20:35.75
-Praise God.
00:20:36.27\00:20:37.27
Doctor I feel your sincerity
00:20:38.09\00:20:40.45
whenever we talk like this,
00:20:40.84\00:20:42.66
I just want to lift up
the people who are watching
00:20:43.00\00:20:45.63
and my prayer right now,
00:20:46.42\00:20:49.06
Is that there
are so many out there
00:20:49.42\00:20:51.30
that we hear from constantly.
00:20:51.31\00:20:52.66
They write letters to me,
00:20:53.12\00:20:54.60
we get phone calls,
00:20:54.87\00:20:56.36
I just want them
to be lifted up to God
00:20:56.75\00:20:59.09
and under His wing
and under His care.
00:20:59.54\00:21:01.75
-Always
00:21:01.76\00:21:02.75
That whatever their
needs are. They are fulfilled.
00:21:03.36\00:21:05.72
-I'm so glad that you are
helping with the followup.
00:21:06.12\00:21:08.60
That means so much to a person.
00:21:08.78\00:21:10.69
-Yes and it's my pleasure.
00:21:11.06\00:21:13.66
-and to here your testimony
00:21:13.67\00:21:15.15
Doctor I want to thank
you for coming to out program.
00:21:15.48\00:21:18.30
-It is always my pleasure.
00:21:18.31\00:21:20.15
God bless you -Thank you
00:21:20.16\00:21:21.21
Friends thank you for
joining us but don't go away
00:21:21.51\00:21:24.24
We have a tip for you right now.
00:21:24.60\00:21:26.78
Hello and welcome
to NEWSTART At Home,
00:21:41.63\00:21:43.48
we are glad that
you are with us today
00:21:43.54\00:21:44.81
and we are also glad
that Dr. Doug Plata is with us
00:21:44.84\00:21:47.51
Welcome doctor.
-Thank you, appreciate it.
00:21:47.52\00:21:49.45
You're an urgent care physician
00:21:49.46\00:21:51.18
and you also do
occupational medicine
00:21:51.19\00:21:52.66
In other words, a
lot of people see you
00:21:52.67\00:21:56.42
when they are having
an issue that is painful
00:21:56.43\00:22:00.06
and something that they
can't deal with at home.
00:22:00.07\00:22:02.54
You are also a
family practice physician
00:22:02.75\00:22:04.57
in preventive medicine as well.
00:22:04.58\00:22:06.21
We are talking in
this little series about
00:22:06.54\00:22:08.81
foreign bodies in the eye.
00:22:08.82\00:22:10.78
We already talk about dust,
00:22:11.33\00:22:13.30
and wood chips and
different things like that.
00:22:14.06\00:22:17.30
You shared a
technique of taking that
00:22:17.31\00:22:19.57
eyelid over the
top of the other one
00:22:19.58\00:22:22.15
as well as the idea
of flushing the eye out.
00:22:22.16\00:22:25.45
This time we want to talk
about if they get a metal speck
00:22:25.46\00:22:29.09
something in
their eye like that.
00:22:29.10\00:22:30.54
-Maybe they are out in the
shop and grinding on something
00:22:30.55\00:22:33.06
and something gets into the eye.
00:22:33.07\00:22:35.09
Again the most important thing
to do is try to irrigate it out.
00:22:35.33\00:22:38.87
I think the key
thing with metals is,
00:22:39.60\00:22:42.21
they can potentially develop
and spread on the surface eye
00:22:42.22\00:22:47.33
and develop what
is called a rust ring.
00:22:47.34\00:22:48.60
That would require
to actually remove it
00:22:49.15\00:22:52.30
something a
opthamologist might want to do.
00:22:52.31\00:22:55.36
Sort of a different
category and the key there is,
00:22:55.51\00:22:59.48
to try to get to
a doctor right away
00:22:59.57\00:23:02.48
so that it doesn't
cause this rust ring.
00:23:02.49\00:23:04.84
Does the rust start to
develop almost immediately?
00:23:05.24\00:23:08.21
Very shortly. I've
noticed that I can take out
00:23:08.36\00:23:12.78
the metal foreign body
00:23:12.79\00:23:15.48
even after 3 or 4
hours but sometimes
00:23:15.75\00:23:18.60
little portions of it
will still remain behind,
00:23:18.61\00:23:21.06
and that's a risk.
00:23:21.07\00:23:22.33
So can they just call a
opthamologist if they have one,
00:23:22.34\00:23:25.24
but what if they
don't? Do they need a referral
00:23:25.25\00:23:27.21
from someone like you?
00:23:27.22\00:23:28.27
Yes sometimes, it all depends
on insurance plans of of course.
00:23:28.28\00:23:31.81
I would say it's
probably best to go to a
00:23:31.82\00:23:35.27
urgent care to be
able to be seen right away.
00:23:35.28\00:23:37.63
or if you can get into
your primary care physician,
00:23:37.64\00:23:39.78
family physician, to be
able to see it immediately.
00:23:39.79\00:23:42.69
They can deal with it as well.
00:23:42.70\00:23:44.18
So number 1 you try to
flush it out with water,
00:23:44.69\00:23:48.30
number 2 you try to get
that foreign body out yourself,
00:23:48.31\00:23:51.06
if you can. -right
00:23:51.07\00:23:52.24
and number 3 you
head to your office
00:23:52.25\00:23:54.57
or someone that has a slit lamp
00:23:54.58\00:23:55.66
that can really
look closely. -Yeah
00:23:55.67\00:23:57.87
and than go from there.
00:23:57.88\00:24:00.42
Let's talk about another thing
00:24:01.21\00:24:03.33
that sometimes
happens to the eyes.
00:24:03.34\00:24:05.06
How about a person that is
helping another person weld.
00:24:05.07\00:24:08.54
When I was in the ER
we saw a lot of that.
00:24:09.06\00:24:11.78
What do you do if that happens?
00:24:11.79\00:24:13.57
-Are you talking
about the flash burns?
00:24:14.36\00:24:17.15
or are you talking
about things in the eye.
00:24:17.16\00:24:19.69
-Yeah the flash burns
00:24:19.70\00:24:20.84
It is fairly
limited. Not too many people
00:24:22.27\00:24:24.87
are dealing with this but,
00:24:24.88\00:24:26.12
The bright light can
cause an inflammation
00:24:26.51\00:24:30.60
of the eye, the iris.
00:24:30.61\00:24:32.39
That is something that is going
to need intensive treatment.
00:24:32.72\00:24:36.72
Oftentimes
medicines and an opthamologist
00:24:37.12\00:24:40.81
would work on that.
00:24:40.82\00:24:42.30
-Is that something where they
would need to get in right away?
00:24:42.42\00:24:45.12
-I would say the
sooner the better.
00:24:45.69\00:24:48.54
We probably want to also mention
00:24:49.63\00:24:52.06
about acids and
substances like that.
00:24:52.07\00:24:54.63
-Yeah let's talk about that.
00:24:54.64\00:24:56.15
So let's say
there is a chemical or
00:24:56.16\00:24:57.66
you're washing something and
00:24:57.67\00:24:59.24
a cleaning fluid
gets into your eye.
00:24:59.25\00:25:01.75
-Clorox would be a
common but a worrisome one
00:25:01.76\00:25:06.45
This is something that again,
00:25:06.78\00:25:09.48
as with many things
that get in the eye,
00:25:09.60\00:25:11.24
the key is to irrigate the eye.
00:25:11.63\00:25:13.54
Especially if it is a
chemical substance like that,
00:25:13.66\00:25:17.36
you really need to
irrigate it for a long time.
00:25:17.66\00:25:21.06
15-30 minutes would be good.
00:25:21.07\00:25:23.18
After that go ahead and
have it seen immediately.
00:25:23.19\00:25:26.69
Even if you have
irrigated it well.
00:25:26.70\00:25:29.12
-Let's say it's my 1 year old
00:25:29.13\00:25:30.60
and he is
screaming bloody murder.
00:25:30.61\00:25:32.39
I feel so bad that
he is crying. -Right
00:25:32.40\00:25:35.78
Do I keep irrigating
regardless of him screaming?
00:25:36.09\00:25:39.18
By all means. It's
tough but you've go to do it.
00:25:39.75\00:25:43.84
If you have to hold him
down, force open the eye
00:25:43.85\00:25:46.39
to pour it in.
00:25:46.40\00:25:47.48
Do what it takes
because a kids vision,
00:25:47.78\00:25:50.69
vision is one of the
most important things
00:25:50.70\00:25:53.21
that we have been given.
We want to do what we can
00:25:53.22\00:25:54.84
to protect it. -If the
mom or dad is saying no
00:25:54.85\00:25:57.87
please don't do
that, you reason with them
00:25:57.88\00:26:01.06
but you keep
giving them fluid. -Yeah
00:26:01.07\00:26:04.18
You told me something
else. You said the eye is
00:26:04.54\00:26:07.54
one of the most vascular areas.
00:26:07.55\00:26:09.12
It is one of
the fastest healing.
00:26:09.13\00:26:10.66
It is like 3 layers
and in about 3 days,
00:26:10.67\00:26:13.72
abrasions,
scratches on the surface
00:26:13.73\00:26:16.24
of the eye clear up.
It is pretty remarkable.
00:26:16.25\00:26:20.12
That's resilient as they say.
00:26:20.84\00:26:22.87
We've been talking
with Dr. Doug Plata
00:26:22.88\00:26:24.75
and we've been takeling
about foreign bodies in the eye,
00:26:24.76\00:26:27.54
Some very useful
information, very practical.
00:26:27.55\00:26:29.63
We hope that you enjoy
this information here on:
00:26:29.64\00:26:32.69
There is many different
topics that you can access.
00:26:34.81\00:26:37.72
Tell your friends about us,
00:26:37.87\00:26:39.84
and tell them
about the practical
00:26:39.85\00:26:41.33
information that
you are receiving here.
00:26:41.34\00:26:42.39
Thanks for being with
us doctor -My pleasure
00:26:42.40\00:26:44.21
Thank you for
being with us as well
00:26:44.22\00:26:45.63
at NEWSTART At Home.
00:26:46.27\00:26:47.69
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:55.27\00:26:57.78
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:57.81\00:27:00.36
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:27:01.06\00:27:04.33
our educational system today.
00:27:04.36\00:27:06.51
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:27:07.15\00:27:09.42
saw schools more like a factory,
00:27:09.78\00:27:11.69
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:27:11.70\00:27:14.45
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:27:14.48\00:27:16.45
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:17.06\00:27:19.45
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:19.46\00:27:22.30
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:22.45\00:27:24.84
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:25.06\00:27:27.48
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:27.72\00:27:30.27
long since passed.
00:27:30.28\00:27:31.66
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:33.06\00:27:36.27
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:36.36\00:27:40.36
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:40.63\00:27:43.09
Well folks, that's it for today.
00:27:56.39\00:27:58.21
Thank you for joining us
00:27:58.22\00:27:59.84
In the mean time
pick up the phone
00:27:59.85\00:28:01.33
and give us a call at:
00:28:01.34\00:28:02.33
God bless you
and have a great day!
00:28:06.06\00:28:07.33
