Hi friends, and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART
00:00:23.81\00:00:26.78
Now. We have in our
studio today, Angelina Harrison
00:00:27.36\00:00:31.09
from Oakdale, California.
00:00:31.36\00:00:33.42
Angelina came to us
a couple of weeks ago
00:00:33.75\00:00:36.63
with different types of
ailments and diseases that
00:00:37.39\00:00:40.12
we're going to let her explain
what happened in just a moment
00:00:40.33\00:00:43.21
after we watch
when she first arrived.
00:00:43.51\00:00:46.51
I have sugar diabetes
00:00:47.63\00:00:50.21
and I also have
high blood pressure.
00:00:50.42\00:00:52.54
As you know diabetes will cause
00:00:55.18\00:00:59.45
illness through your whole body.
00:00:59.84\00:01:01.72
I picked the
NEWSTART program because
00:01:02.27\00:01:05.36
my friends talked about it
00:01:07.06\00:01:10.39
but when I saw it on 3ABN
00:01:10.45\00:01:12.57
I knew that that
was the place for me
00:01:12.84\00:01:15.06
to go and get help.
00:01:15.51\00:01:16.84
Before I leave
00:01:17.09\00:01:18.48
to go home
00:01:19.06\00:01:20.06
I want to be healthy
00:01:20.36\00:01:21.81
I want to get off of the
medications that I am on.
00:01:22.36\00:01:27.81
I am tired of having to get up
00:01:28.06\00:01:31.30
every day and
having to the same thing,
00:01:31.31\00:01:34.54
test my blood,
my blood pressure,
00:01:34.69\00:01:36.84
and take the pills.
00:01:36.85\00:01:38.45
Because every pill that you
take will have side effects.
00:01:38.87\00:01:43.72
And I have had a lot
of those side effects
00:01:44.42\00:01:46.39
in my lifetime
and I'm tired of it.
00:01:46.51\00:01:49.27
Welcome back friends,
00:01:52.06\00:01:53.21
and I'm sure there
are many of you watching
00:01:53.22\00:01:55.48
that can relate
to Angelina's story.
00:01:55.78\00:01:58.06
So let me
introduce, Angelina Harrison.
00:01:58.39\00:02:01.06
Thank you so
much for being here.
00:02:01.48\00:02:03.48
Now I know
you're a little nervous
00:02:04.18\00:02:05.21
so we've got to get over that
00:02:05.22\00:02:06.39
and we're going to let
you say a few words about
00:02:06.40\00:02:08.54
where you're from and how
you ended up in Oakdale, CA.
00:02:09.24\00:02:11.57
Well when I was nine years old
00:02:12.39\00:02:14.39
I was sent there by train
to stay with my godparents
00:02:14.54\00:02:19.18
and that's where I was raised
and where I met my husband.
00:02:19.66\00:02:22.69
Okay.
00:02:22.87\00:02:23.87
And you've been
there ever since?
00:02:24.12\00:02:25.36
Yes.
00:02:25.37\00:02:26.36
Wow.
00:02:26.37\00:02:27.36
So you said in
our first interview
00:02:27.60\00:02:31.48
that you want to
get off your medication
00:02:32.18\00:02:35.15
and you want to feel better.
Tell us what has happened.
00:02:35.39\00:02:39.15
Are you taking
any medication now?
00:02:39.60\00:02:41.30
No, the first day that
I went to see my doctor
00:02:41.36\00:02:45.09
he took me off of all
my diabetic medications
00:02:45.54\00:02:50.78
and he also took me off
of the cholesterol medication
00:02:51.33\00:02:54.87
and I havn't taken one
pill since I came here.
00:02:55.06\00:02:57.72
Great! How about
high blood pressure?
00:02:58.36\00:03:00.30
I am still dealing
with high blood pressure
00:03:00.51\00:03:03.09
but I know that if
I stay on this program
00:03:03.30\00:03:06.18
that it is going to work because
00:03:06.45\00:03:07.69
it has worked
for the others too.
00:03:07.70\00:03:10.69
Now what is your blood
pressure? Do you mind me asking?
00:03:11.33\00:03:13.54
Well my blood
pressure for some reason
00:03:13.66\00:03:16.24
was running 180 over 80
00:03:16.30\00:03:19.09
and it has come
down to about 140.
00:03:19.42\00:03:22.69
So I'm happy with that.
00:03:25.09\00:03:26.81
Good, so 140 over 80, or?
00:03:27.12\00:03:29.09
Over 60.
00:03:29.10\00:03:30.09
Over 60!
00:03:30.12\00:03:31.27
Well that's fantastic!
You're making some changes here.
00:03:31.39\00:03:34.51
Yes.
00:03:34.52\00:03:35.51
Tell us about anything else.
00:03:36.33\00:03:38.06
It looks like
you've lost some weight.
00:03:38.07\00:03:40.45
I've lost some weight
00:03:40.48\00:03:41.57
and I didn't lose that much but
00:03:42.06\00:03:44.54
I'm happy with what I have lost.
00:03:44.55\00:03:46.30
And I think that
if I had stayed home
00:03:47.06\00:03:49.81
I could've
gained that much weight.
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.36
So I'm really
glad that I did come.
00:03:52.06\00:03:54.84
Well I happen to know that
you lost a little over 9 lbs.
00:03:55.27\00:03:58.54
Yes.
00:03:58.55\00:03:59.54
The next time
you're in the grocery store
00:03:59.55\00:04:01.84
pick up a ten
pound bag of potatoes
00:04:01.85\00:04:04.06
and lift it up. That's
how much weight you lost.
00:04:04.07\00:04:07.12
Oh wow, I didn't think of that.
00:04:07.13\00:04:08.57
That's significant.
00:04:08.58\00:04:09.78
That is a really good job.
00:04:09.79\00:04:12.12
Thank you.
00:04:12.13\00:04:13.42
Has the program
met your expectations?
00:04:14.78\00:04:18.78
Yes.
00:04:18.79\00:04:19.78
I was happy with everything
they present here and offer.
00:04:20.12\00:04:23.72
And everybody
here was so helpful
00:04:24.30\00:04:27.30
in every way,
even through prayer.
00:04:27.78\00:04:31.06
That really meant a lot to me.
00:04:31.33\00:04:33.24
If you have something going on
00:04:33.48\00:04:37.42
the nurses will take
time and pray with you.
00:04:37.43\00:04:39.66
And that's really...
00:04:40.48\00:04:41.57
Isn't that wonderful?
00:04:42.06\00:04:43.18
Yes.
00:04:43.19\00:04:44.21
So what about your walking,
are you walking okay now?
00:04:44.27\00:04:47.27
Yes I am. When I was
home I was a couch potato.
00:04:47.28\00:04:51.15
And I hadn't
walked for nine months
00:04:51.48\00:04:54.33
because I had fallen down.
00:04:54.34\00:04:55.75
And when I came here it was the
00:04:56.45\00:04:58.18
first time I had
walked since then.
00:04:58.19\00:05:00.36
And I was surprised that
00:05:00.45\00:05:02.51
I have been able
to walk like I have.
00:05:02.63\00:05:05.09
What have you been walking now?
00:05:05.87\00:05:07.36
I've been walking
on the half mile loop
00:05:07.37\00:05:10.54
and I think he
averaged me at 2 miles a day.
00:05:11.18\00:05:15.84
So you went from
not walking at all
00:05:16.36\00:05:18.51
to 2 miles a day.
00:05:18.52\00:05:19.69
Yes.
00:05:19.70\00:05:20.69
That's a big change.
00:05:20.70\00:05:22.27
Good for you.
00:05:22.28\00:05:23.63
The Lord is wonderful and
00:05:23.87\00:05:25.54
it's really obvious
that his hands are out here
00:05:26.42\00:05:29.15
working with the
guests and you're a
00:05:29.54\00:05:31.60
prime example you
look so nice today!
00:05:31.61\00:05:33.72
Thank you very much.
00:05:33.73\00:05:34.75
You look different.
00:05:34.76\00:05:35.75
I hope so!
00:05:36.36\00:05:37.51
You look more at peace.
00:05:37.57\00:05:39.81
Your doctor is Dr.
David DeRose, is that correct?
00:05:40.24\00:05:43.48
Yes.
00:05:43.51\00:05:44.66
You've spent a lot of
time with him I presume?
00:05:46.36\00:05:48.48
Yes I did.
00:05:48.49\00:05:49.51
And did you have
enough time with him...
00:05:49.52\00:05:51.48
Oh, yes!
00:05:51.49\00:05:52.48
to talk about
your ailments and such?
00:05:52.49\00:05:54.54
Yes.
00:05:54.55\00:05:55.54
He was very understanding
00:05:55.69\00:05:57.30
he took time to
explain things to me.
00:05:57.33\00:06:00.54
I don't get that when I
go to my regular doctors.
00:06:00.75\00:06:03.87
I go in and all they do is sit
at their computer and say "okay
00:06:04.18\00:06:07.66
if this medicine doesn't work
00:06:07.67\00:06:08.81
I'm going to
give you another one."
00:06:08.82\00:06:10.21
and he didn't do
that. When the session was
00:06:11.06\00:06:16.06
over he would take time
and always pray with me.
00:06:16.07\00:06:17.66
Do you find that unusual,
00:06:18.09\00:06:19.36
that a doctor would
sit and pray with you?
00:06:19.37\00:06:21.39
Yes, because all
the other doctors
00:06:22.27\00:06:23.60
I've been to in my lifetime
nobody has ever done that.
00:06:23.61\00:06:27.54
I already knew the
answer, that wasn't fair.
00:06:28.24\00:06:30.39
I kind of set you up there.
00:06:30.40\00:06:31.75
Yeah.
00:06:31.76\00:06:32.75
I thought the same
thing when I came here.
00:06:32.76\00:06:35.33
I thought it was just wonderful
00:06:35.63\00:06:37.57
that a doctor would take
his time not only to be with me
00:06:37.87\00:06:41.45
and discuss my problems
but help me to correct them.
00:06:42.06\00:06:45.87
By the way when you
went in to see your doctor
00:06:46.51\00:06:49.18
did he go for a walk with you?
00:06:49.19\00:06:50.87
I believe so...
Yes I'm sure he did.
00:06:53.51\00:06:58.45
And while you are
walking he is observing
00:06:59.06\00:07:03.06
if you are capable of certain
00:07:03.18\00:07:04.75
strides and
speeds and all of that.
00:07:04.76\00:07:07.27
That's wonderful.
00:07:08.72\00:07:09.72
At first when I
started walking I
00:07:09.78\00:07:11.63
couldn't walk and
talk at the same time
00:07:11.64\00:07:13.30
because I would
run out of breath.
00:07:13.31\00:07:15.36
But now I'm able to.
00:07:15.57\00:07:17.21
So you can walk and talk now.
00:07:17.24\00:07:18.78
What about cooking, have you
learned anything about cooking?
00:07:19.24\00:07:21.66
Oh, yes!
00:07:21.67\00:07:23.06
You learn so many things.
00:07:23.07\00:07:25.54
Because of being a diabetic
we made our own ice cream
00:07:27.06\00:07:29.78
twice while we were here.
00:07:29.79\00:07:31.18
It was delicious.
00:07:31.19\00:07:32.63
And what did you make it from?
00:07:32.84\00:07:34.33
Oh, what did we use?
00:07:36.12\00:07:37.66
Nuts and not soy milk
00:07:38.09\00:07:42.39
I forget what it was,
00:07:42.84\00:07:44.09
some kind of
nector for the sweetener.
00:07:44.24\00:07:46.36
And different, not spices but
00:07:47.24\00:07:52.06
vanilla, things like vanilla.
00:07:54.09\00:07:55.69
Yes.
00:07:55.70\00:07:56.69
And it was delicious.
00:07:56.72\00:07:58.39
But you got the recipe with you
00:07:58.40\00:08:00.24
I got the recipe now.
00:08:00.25\00:08:01.72
So you can make
it for the family.
00:08:02.36\00:08:03.78
When you get back home is
00:08:04.69\00:08:06.27
everyone at home
going to be vegan?
00:08:06.28\00:08:07.84
Oh, my husband is vegan.
00:08:08.06\00:08:09.36
He already is?
00:08:09.37\00:08:10.36
Oh!
00:08:10.48\00:08:12.33
This will be great for
both you to come together!
00:08:12.84\00:08:16.39
Because he will be a big
help to me to keep me on track.
00:08:16.42\00:08:19.60
Absolutely.
00:08:19.75\00:08:20.81
Did you get a
chance to visit with Viola?
00:08:21.51\00:08:24.09
Oh, yes!
00:08:24.10\00:08:25.12
Our chaplain.
00:08:25.15\00:08:26.39
Was she a help to you?
00:08:26.84\00:08:28.48
Oh yes, very much so! She's a
00:08:28.49\00:08:29.78
beautiful lady and
she takes time with you.
00:08:29.79\00:08:32.48
and listens to what
you have to say to her.
00:08:33.21\00:08:35.69
Yeah.
00:08:35.81\00:08:36.87
And you had an exersize
00:08:37.30\00:08:38.75
therapist you
spent time with, Rich.
00:08:38.76\00:08:40.72
Yes.
00:08:40.73\00:08:41.72
Did you learn about
exercise and what is good?
00:08:42.06\00:08:45.36
Yes I did.
00:08:45.42\00:08:46.48
Yes I did.
00:08:46.49\00:08:47.48
So have you gotten a program
you can take home with you?
00:08:47.66\00:08:49.54
Yeah, I went in yesterday
for my appointment with him
00:08:49.55\00:08:52.06
and he wrote out
everything I should do at home.
00:08:52.07\00:08:54.36
So that was good.
00:08:55.06\00:08:56.06
So aside from walking he's
recommended that you do some
00:08:56.24\00:09:00.69
other exersizes.
Weight bearing perhaps?
00:09:01.78\00:09:04.84
Yeah, stretching exersizes
00:09:04.87\00:09:07.27
and I had a hard time balancing
00:09:07.28\00:09:10.33
standing on one foot but
he showed me how to do it.
00:09:10.42\00:09:13.54
And now you can do it.
00:09:13.55\00:09:14.57
Now I can do it.
00:09:14.58\00:09:15.57
What about the
message and hydrotherapy?
00:09:15.78\00:09:18.30
Oh, I think that's my favorite!
00:09:18.33\00:09:20.21
Well, second favorite maybe.
00:09:20.33\00:09:21.63
We saved that for last, right!
00:09:21.75\00:09:23.60
What's first, food?
00:09:23.75\00:09:25.69
No...
00:09:26.15\00:09:27.84
Just the whole atmosphere
00:09:28.87\00:09:32.36
how the people treat you here
00:09:32.78\00:09:34.57
it's just beautiful.
00:09:34.81\00:09:35.81
Good.
00:09:36.27\00:09:37.57
I'm so happy you got an
opportunity to come here.
00:09:37.66\00:09:40.42
And I'm excited
for when you get home
00:09:41.12\00:09:44.06
to work with
your husband on this
00:09:44.09\00:09:46.06
new lifestyle.
00:09:46.18\00:09:47.42
And Angelina I want to
thank you for joining us here.
00:09:47.66\00:09:50.27
Well thank you.
00:09:50.28\00:09:51.33
May God bless you.
00:09:51.34\00:09:52.33
Thank you so
much, God bless you too.
00:09:52.34\00:09:54.06
We'll be in touch.
00:09:54.07\00:09:55.06
And folks thank
you but don't go away!
00:09:55.07\00:09:56.84
We have a tip for you
and then Dr. David DeRose!
00:09:56.85\00:10:00.54
Well you've done very well.
00:10:02.51\00:10:04.03
Do you have
diabetes, heart disease,
00:10:10.66\00:10:12.87
high blood pressure
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:12.88\00:10:16.00
Hi, My name is Doctor Ing
and I'd like to tell you about
00:10:16.57\00:10:19.18
our 18 day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:19.19\00:10:22.39
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:23.12\00:10:25.72
with laboratory studies
and a exercise stress test,
00:10:25.73\00:10:29.06
physician consolations,
00:10:29.07\00:10:31.57
culinary school,
00:10:31.58\00:10:33.21
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:33.72\00:10:36.66
in the foothills of the sierras.
00:10:36.78\00:10:39.12
Your health is one of the most
important things that you have.
00:10:40.60\00:10:43.63
Don't wait. Give us a
call or visit our website.
00:10:43.64\00:10:51.15
Welcome back friends and as
I promised Dr. David DeRose.
00:11:08.57\00:11:12.30
How are you, doctor?
00:11:12.31\00:11:13.30
Great! Good to be
with you again, Ron.
00:11:13.31\00:11:15.06
It's always good to see you.
00:11:15.07\00:11:16.30
I wish we had a
live audience because
00:11:17.06\00:11:19.06
I'd like them to
bombard you with questions.
00:11:19.07\00:11:21.48
You have so much information.
I love our interviews together!
00:11:22.21\00:11:26.24
It's always great
to be with you Ron.
00:11:26.25\00:11:27.69
And you'll just have to
bombard me with the questions
00:11:27.70\00:11:29.87
in abstentia for
the audience, right?
00:11:29.88\00:11:32.39
Sounds good.
00:11:32.40\00:11:33.66
Let's start off with Angelina.
00:11:33.67\00:11:36.06
She came to us with in my
mind some serious problems.
00:11:36.30\00:11:41.06
And we've seen some
change in her in just 2 weeks.
00:11:41.12\00:11:44.84
It's always dramatic what
happens in the NEWSTART program
00:11:45.06\00:11:47.87
when people get on the kind of
00:11:47.88\00:11:49.42
lifestyle that God
designed for us to be on
00:11:49.43\00:11:51.72
We often see
really tremendous results
00:11:51.78\00:11:54.21
and Angelina is
just another example.
00:11:54.22\00:11:56.12
And a perfect example at that.
00:11:56.57\00:11:58.81
She was a little nervous during
her interview as you could see.
00:11:59.06\00:12:02.30
And rightfully so we've got
00:12:02.57\00:12:04.30
the cameras and
the bright lights
00:12:04.31\00:12:05.69
and such and she wasn't sure
00:12:05.70\00:12:07.57
about the
questions I was going to ask.
00:12:07.75\00:12:09.66
But you heard
what I asked her and
00:12:09.67\00:12:12.15
basically she's very
pleased with the results.
00:12:12.16\00:12:16.21
But from a
physician's point of view,
00:12:16.51\00:12:18.87
from your point of view, tell
us what you saw happen here.
00:12:19.06\00:12:22.48
Well probably one of the most
00:12:22.49\00:12:23.48
exciting things
has to do with diabetes
00:12:23.49\00:12:25.75
and Angelina like
literally millions of Americans
00:12:26.06\00:12:29.63
was struggling with
diabetes when she came here.
00:12:29.72\00:12:32.39
The common story that
we hear from people Ron,
00:12:32.51\00:12:35.06
is more and more drugs.
00:12:35.07\00:12:36.27
The doctors just keep
putting them on more things.
00:12:36.28\00:12:38.51
You heard Angelina.
She shared that she came
00:12:38.81\00:12:41.06
here on two different
medications for her diabetes.
00:12:41.07\00:12:43.69
What's remarkable is when you
00:12:44.24\00:12:45.75
look at her
today, just 2 weeks later
00:12:45.76\00:12:48.06
she's off those drugs,
00:12:48.24\00:12:49.54
her blood sugars
are significantly better
00:12:49.57\00:12:51.84
off the medications
with the lifestyle changes
00:12:51.87\00:12:55.15
than they were when
she was taking both drugs.
00:12:55.24\00:12:58.09
Yeah, so it's powerful.
00:12:58.24\00:12:59.42
One of the things that
we did in Angelina's case
00:12:59.43\00:13:02.24
that a lot of doctors are
00:13:02.25\00:13:03.45
totally unaware of
the power of is fasting.
00:13:03.46\00:13:06.54
So Angelina actually did a
00:13:06.75\00:13:08.39
medically supervised
fast for several days
00:13:08.40\00:13:10.84
at the beginning of the program.
00:13:10.87\00:13:12.39
And this can be
extremely powerful in
00:13:12.45\00:13:14.36
getting blood
sugars back into line.
00:13:14.37\00:13:16.36
Wow, you know I
haven't seen fasting as much
00:13:16.54\00:13:20.06
in years past as
I'm currently seeing.
00:13:20.36\00:13:23.06
But I'm sure
there's a lot of things
00:13:23.24\00:13:25.60
that you can bring to
the table to help diabetics.
00:13:26.33\00:13:29.30
So, in regard to her changes
00:13:30.78\00:13:34.72
is it fair to say
that it's typical?
00:13:35.06\00:13:38.42
Well, it's
typical in the sense that
00:13:39.12\00:13:41.24
when people come here
to the NEWSTART program
00:13:41.42\00:13:45.06
they're often
on a poor lifestyle
00:13:45.09\00:13:47.06
and I'm not speaking
about Angelina specifically
00:13:47.30\00:13:50.12
but in general people are
not really on optimal program.
00:13:50.24\00:13:53.24
You heard her own admission
that she was not walking.
00:13:53.25\00:13:56.06
I believe she herself
a couch potato, right?
00:13:56.07\00:14:00.06
Right.
00:14:00.07\00:14:01.15
So, when a person
comes here and you start
00:14:01.72\00:14:04.21
getting everything
moving in the right direction
00:14:04.22\00:14:06.27
they don't have to
learn how to cook on day one.
00:14:06.45\00:14:09.75
We start feeding them the
best food for their condition
00:14:09.81\00:14:12.66
when they arrive, or
they go on a short fast,
00:14:12.67\00:14:14.72
as was the case with Angelina.
00:14:14.73\00:14:16.39
And then you just start
seeing things come together
00:14:16.66\00:14:19.51
they're getting off medications,
they're feeling better
00:14:19.52\00:14:22.15
and instead of
having a downward spiral
00:14:22.33\00:14:24.87
where one problem
leads to something else
00:14:25.15\00:14:27.63
that complicates something else
00:14:27.64\00:14:29.51
you start getting things,
compounded interest if you will,
00:14:29.78\00:14:33.30
in a beneficial direction
00:14:33.31\00:14:34.75
where improvements and exersize
00:14:35.18\00:14:37.21
allow you to improve the
blood pressure, the diabetes,
00:14:37.33\00:14:40.36
the cholesterol,
and that allows you
00:14:40.39\00:14:41.84
to decrease medications further.
00:14:41.85\00:14:43.72
And so when you get everything
moving in the right direction
00:14:44.06\00:14:46.60
it's just extremely powerful
00:14:46.61\00:14:48.09
how God blesses
these very simple things
00:14:48.18\00:14:50.66
that I like to remind people
00:14:50.84\00:14:52.51
are no more novel than
the first couple chapters
00:14:52.57\00:14:54.87
of the book of Genesis.
00:14:54.88\00:14:56.09
That's true isn't it?
00:14:56.10\00:14:57.30
Tell us about fasting, is
this something someone can do
00:14:58.12\00:15:02.45
in their own home?
00:15:02.66\00:15:03.72
Fasting in your own home
is a dangerous proposition
00:15:04.30\00:15:08.06
especially if someone has
diabetes or high blood pressure.
00:15:08.07\00:15:10.60
Because fasting is so powerful
00:15:10.75\00:15:13.21
it lowers the blood
pressure and blood sugar.
00:15:13.22\00:15:15.09
If you don't have
someone carefully monitoring you
00:15:15.10\00:15:17.63
and adjusting your medications
00:15:17.64\00:15:19.87
you can get into
real serious problems.
00:15:19.88\00:15:21.75
Especially with the
diuretics, the water pills,
00:15:21.78\00:15:24.72
and the blood
sugar lowering pills.
00:15:24.78\00:15:26.51
So usually for a person has
those kind of problems we say,
00:15:26.75\00:15:30.09
you want to be
under a doctors direction.
00:15:30.21\00:15:32.45
And we're ideally set here
00:15:32.48\00:15:34.18
at the NEWSTART
program to do that for people.
00:15:34.27\00:15:36.63
So, as they say,
don't try this at home.
00:15:36.81\00:15:39.63
Yeah, typically if diabetes or
00:15:40.06\00:15:42.06
high blood
pressure is the problem
00:15:42.07\00:15:43.45
you want to do it cautiously.
00:15:43.46\00:15:44.69
If you've got a doctor who says,
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.39
great go for it and makes some
adjustments to your medications
00:15:46.40\00:15:49.78
that's acceptable.
00:15:50.39\00:15:51.57
But really the ideal setting for
this is a controlled environment
00:15:52.12\00:15:56.27
like we have here.
00:15:56.28\00:15:57.30
Now what is it about fasting,
00:15:57.45\00:15:59.54
it's very intruging
to me, I remember back
00:15:59.60\00:16:02.45
many years ago when I had done
00:16:02.69\00:16:05.15
certain types of
fasts, water being one.
00:16:05.60\00:16:08.66
Brown rice was another.
00:16:08.75\00:16:10.36
And then carrot, beet,
and celery were others.
00:16:11.18\00:16:14.06
What is it about
these types of fasts,
00:16:14.75\00:16:16.87
is it the cleansing,
00:16:16.88\00:16:18.45
does it play a part in
00:16:18.66\00:16:22.48
eliminating
toxins from the body?
00:16:22.51\00:16:24.54
What happens here?
00:16:24.66\00:16:25.66
Well probably the
most powerful thing Ron
00:16:25.67\00:16:27.87
when it comes to diabetes,
00:16:27.88\00:16:29.39
because that's one of the things
00:16:29.40\00:16:30.45
we're talking
about specifically,
00:16:30.46\00:16:32.06
is that high blood
sugars in and of themselves
00:16:32.36\00:16:35.48
cause something in the
body called glucotoxicity.
00:16:35.57\00:16:39.21
So it is a toxin, if you will,
but the toxin is the high sugar.
00:16:39.42\00:16:43.06
Right.
00:16:43.07\00:16:44.06
And so when
someone goes on a fast
00:16:44.07\00:16:46.15
this precipitously
brings their blood sugar down
00:16:46.33\00:16:49.69
and what happens when
the blood sugar is normalized
00:16:50.27\00:16:53.12
the pancreas
starts to work better.
00:16:53.27\00:16:55.33
It produces insulin better.
00:16:55.36\00:16:56.78
And the tissues
respond to insulin better.
00:16:57.06\00:17:00.36
Because this glucotoxicity
00:17:00.42\00:17:02.36
poisons the tissues it makes the
00:17:02.54\00:17:04.54
insulin
resistance, so to speak, worse,
00:17:04.72\00:17:06.75
it causes insulin
not to work so well.
00:17:06.76\00:17:08.60
And it also
poisons the pancreas.
00:17:08.75\00:17:10.81
So the pancreas
can't work as well.
00:17:10.84\00:17:12.30
So if we can get those
blood sugars down very quickly
00:17:12.42\00:17:15.27
then everything just
starts to work better.
00:17:15.60\00:17:17.66
So the whole natural program
just works so much better
00:17:18.06\00:17:20.84
than if we kind of
gradually eased into it.
00:17:20.87\00:17:23.45
Now you mentioned diabetes,
00:17:25.15\00:17:27.33
and how rampant
it is in this country
00:17:27.36\00:17:29.51
How many diabetics
are there in this country,
00:17:29.84\00:17:32.84
how many people will become
diabetic who aren't currently,
00:17:33.36\00:17:37.63
and how many obese people
do we have in this country?
00:17:38.27\00:17:41.75
Maybe you can
answer those questions.
00:17:41.76\00:17:43.30
Yeah,
00:17:43.54\00:17:44.54
these statistics are like
trying to hit a moving target.
00:17:44.78\00:17:47.24
But just to give you a
00:17:47.25\00:17:48.69
little idea of just how
rapidly diabetes is escalating,
00:17:49.15\00:17:52.81
when I was doing
diabetes lectures in the 1990's
00:17:53.21\00:17:56.51
the center for disease control
00:17:56.78\00:17:58.81
were telling us that we were
00:17:59.15\00:18:00.54
diagnosing about 800,000 people
a year in the USA with diabetes.
00:18:00.75\00:18:05.72
In the early 1990's?
00:18:05.75\00:18:07.09
Yeah, in the 1990's.
00:18:07.15\00:18:09.09
Okay, today that
figure is 1.6 million.
00:18:09.24\00:18:13.78
So it's doubled
new cases every year.
00:18:14.09\00:18:16.72
So we've got a huge
epidemic with diabetes.
00:18:17.18\00:18:20.09
And of course the biggest
question for any individual
00:18:20.27\00:18:22.54
is not how many
millions of people have it.
00:18:22.55\00:18:24.69
But whether they have it or not.
00:18:24.87\00:18:26.27
And I find a lot of people are
00:18:26.39\00:18:28.06
unaware of what
their blood sugar is.
00:18:28.07\00:18:29.60
They just don't know.
00:18:29.61\00:18:30.60
They just don't know!
00:18:30.61\00:18:31.60
Why is this, they
don't go to doctors?
00:18:31.63\00:18:33.63
Well Diabetes is what we
often call a silent disease
00:18:33.64\00:18:37.09
at least early on.
00:18:37.10\00:18:38.39
You feel essentially normal,
00:18:38.48\00:18:40.33
maybe you're going to the
bathroom a little bit more,
00:18:40.34\00:18:42.30
maybe you're a
little bit more thirsty.
00:18:42.31\00:18:43.72
But unless the blood
sugar is really out of whack
00:18:43.87\00:18:46.15
you probably feel pretty normal.
00:18:46.42\00:18:48.57
But people today are
sometimes coming to the doctor,
00:18:49.09\00:18:51.78
it's happened to me,
00:18:51.79\00:18:52.84
I see people come
without a diagnosis of diabetes
00:18:53.12\00:18:56.33
and they've already
got diabetic complications.
00:18:56.45\00:18:58.78
They're having vision problems,
00:18:59.09\00:19:00.57
or their kidneys
are being effected,
00:19:00.72\00:19:02.57
or their nerves
are being effected.
00:19:02.66\00:19:04.15
So we encourage people,
00:19:04.57\00:19:06.06
especially if they have
risk factors for diabetes,
00:19:06.15\00:19:08.39
if you're overweight,
00:19:08.40\00:19:09.39
if it runs in the family,
00:19:09.48\00:19:10.60
if you're in your
40's, or 50's, or beyond, and
00:19:10.81\00:19:13.24
you're not on a healthy program
00:19:13.48\00:19:15.51
find out what your fasting
blood sugar is, at least.
00:19:15.57\00:19:18.63
Because the
earlier you catch this
00:19:18.81\00:19:20.45
the more you can do about it
and prevent the complications.
00:19:20.48\00:19:23.27
Yeah.
00:19:23.30\00:19:24.30
So, these people who
are watching you right now,
00:19:26.87\00:19:30.06
what can they do to
check their blood sugars,
00:19:30.75\00:19:33.06
where do they go,
how do they find out?
00:19:33.07\00:19:35.06
Well a blood sugar
check is very simple.
00:19:35.69\00:19:38.54
Actually all it involves
is having your finger pricked
00:19:38.72\00:19:41.72
and just checking a
quick blood sugar reading,
00:19:42.12\00:19:44.66
a nurse can do it, it
can be done in a clinic,
00:19:44.69\00:19:47.24
it can probably be done
in your doctor's own office.
00:19:47.45\00:19:51.24
And if you want a
more precise reading,
00:19:51.42\00:19:53.45
if you've got any questions
about the finger stick method,
00:19:53.46\00:19:56.48
just have a
blood sugar test done.
00:19:56.75\00:19:59.36
They can draw
blood from the vein
00:19:59.37\00:20:01.03
and it can be
measured very precisely.
00:20:01.06\00:20:02.75
So Ron, it's not difficult,
00:20:03.15\00:20:04.57
whether it's the
finger stick method,
00:20:04.60\00:20:06.21
or an actual blood draw.
00:20:06.22\00:20:07.57
But people can find out and
they can know where they stand.
00:20:07.60\00:20:10.18
What about the Obesity?
00:20:10.42\00:20:12.39
That seems to be a
common denominator.
00:20:12.40\00:20:14.48
It is.
00:20:14.54\00:20:15.57
It's a big problem.
00:20:15.63\00:20:16.72
There's three primary things
that set the stage for diabetes
00:20:16.73\00:20:20.18
in America, at
least the type 2 variety.
00:20:20.19\00:20:22.66
We use to call it
adult onset diabetes.
00:20:22.84\00:20:24.51
But type 2
diabetes, basically the
00:20:25.00\00:20:27.45
three underlying
factors are, inactivity,
00:20:27.51\00:20:30.00
overweight,
00:20:30.42\00:20:31.42
and poor dietary choices.
00:20:31.60\00:20:33.36
Those are the three big ones.
00:20:33.37\00:20:34.75
We rarely see type 2 diabetes in
00:20:34.76\00:20:37.39
someone who is thin
and fit for example.
00:20:37.40\00:20:39.39
So for the viewers at home,
we just have a few seconds left,
00:20:40.45\00:20:43.48
what can they do to
get on track right now?
00:20:43.87\00:20:46.15
Basically, get serious about
taking charge of your health.
00:20:46.69\00:20:49.63
Get on a good fitness
program, talk with your doctor
00:20:50.06\00:20:52.30
if you've got any
questions about the safety.
00:20:52.31\00:20:54.24
And start eating
more plant foods.
00:20:54.39\00:20:55.87
They're the real winners
when it comes to diabetes.
00:20:55.88\00:20:58.12
Dr. DeRose, thank you so much,
00:20:58.75\00:21:00.72
for coming on the set with us.
00:21:01.06\00:21:02.48
Great to be with you, Ron.
00:21:02.49\00:21:03.84
It's always a
pleasure to have you.
00:21:03.85\00:21:04.84
And thank you, friends.
00:21:04.85\00:21:05.84
But don't go away
because we have a tip for you
00:21:05.85\00:21:08.06
following this message.
00:21:08.63\00:21:10.06
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:21:12.42\00:21:15.06
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:21:15.07\00:21:17.45
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:21:18.12\00:21:21.42
our educational system today.
00:21:21.45\00:21:23.60
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:21:24.24\00:21:26.51
saw schools more like a factory,
00:21:26.87\00:21:28.78
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:21:28.79\00:21:31.54
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:21:31.57\00:21:33.54
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:21:34.09\00:21:36.54
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:21:36.55\00:21:39.39
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:21:39.54\00:21:42.12
into a specific ideological mold
00:21:42.13\00:21:44.57
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:21:44.58\00:21:47.36
long since passed.
00:21:47.37\00:21:48.75
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:21:50.12\00:21:53.45
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:21:53.46\00:21:57.45
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:21:57.72\00:22:00.24
Hello, and welcome
to NEWSTART At Home.
00:22:26.30\00:22:27.87
I'm your host Don Mackintosh.
00:22:28.30\00:22:29.66
And today we have Dr. Doug
Plata in the studio with us.
00:22:29.67\00:22:32.81
Welcome, Doctor.
00:22:33.18\00:22:34.18
Thank you.
00:22:34.19\00:22:35.24
You are a specialist in
family and preventive medicine.
00:22:35.25\00:22:40.30
That's correct.
00:22:40.31\00:22:41.30
And one of the things
we've been talking about is the
00:22:41.31\00:22:44.84
lack of hydration people have.
00:22:45.27\00:22:47.75
They're not
drinking enough water.
00:22:47.76\00:22:49.12
Or maybe some
people drink too much.
00:22:49.42\00:22:51.06
But we want to
talk about water today.
00:22:51.07\00:22:52.57
How important is it?
00:22:53.06\00:22:54.06
It's extremely important.
There's studies showing that
00:22:54.39\00:22:57.48
for heart health it's
actually about as important as
00:22:57.75\00:23:01.18
many of the common treatments
we have for heart disease.
00:23:01.33\00:23:04.66
By making sure
you get an adequate
00:23:05.21\00:23:08.57
amount versus those
who are on the low end,
00:23:08.58\00:23:10.45
the difference
00:23:10.46\00:23:11.45
means about a 50%
reduction in the risk of
00:23:11.46\00:23:15.57
heart attack.
00:23:16.06\00:23:17.06
And that's probably because the
00:23:17.09\00:23:18.66
blood gets more
viscous and more sticky
00:23:18.67\00:23:20.72
and maybe causes
the coronary events?
00:23:20.73\00:23:22.60
We're not
entirely sure but that's
00:23:22.66\00:23:24.15
probably at least
part of the reason.
00:23:24.16\00:23:26.09
I'm guessing there's
probably more parts to it.
00:23:26.12\00:23:28.81
So, what kind of water
should we drink, just tap water,
00:23:29.06\00:23:32.84
or distilled water?
00:23:32.85\00:23:33.84
There's all kinds, when I
go to the store I can spend
00:23:34.30\00:23:36.78
$1.72 for a bottle
or, I don't know $1.00.
00:23:37.06\00:23:42.33
And then I can find
this exotic water that's,
00:23:42.36\00:23:45.06
I'm not going to say $10.00 but
00:23:45.18\00:23:46.75
there's a big vast
variation in price,
00:23:47.06\00:23:48.48
and they all
have different labels,
00:23:48.49\00:23:50.33
how should I navigate that?
00:23:50.34\00:23:51.69
The first thing I'd
like to point out is
00:23:51.72\00:23:54.18
that regardless of
the type of the water,
00:23:54.19\00:23:55.63
getting enough water
that's the #1 message,
00:23:55.66\00:23:58.06
first and foremost.
00:23:58.09\00:23:59.09
When it comes to
the type of water
00:23:59.27\00:24:01.33
there have been a
number of different
00:24:01.57\00:24:04.33
studies done on this and
00:24:04.84\00:24:07.30
again make sure
you get enough water.
00:24:07.63\00:24:10.18
Probably one of the
more unhealthy forms of water
00:24:11.54\00:24:14.09
is actually distilled water.
00:24:14.27\00:24:15.84
I know this is
going to come as a
00:24:15.85\00:24:17.42
surprise and concern
to some of the listeners.
00:24:17.43\00:24:21.24
But what distilled water does
is it separates out the minerals
00:24:21.72\00:24:24.84
from the water and
what we're finding out is
00:24:25.12\00:24:27.27
those minerals are
there for a reason.
00:24:27.28\00:24:29.51
For particularly cardiac health.
00:24:29.54\00:24:31.75
So tap water is good after all?
00:24:31.76\00:24:34.06
It depends on the
local environment.
00:24:34.12\00:24:37.24
For example if there
are chemicals in the water.
00:24:37.25\00:24:39.24
I think many of us
have chosen to go with
00:24:39.27\00:24:42.09
water that is
from a natural source.
00:24:42.27\00:24:44.66
Mountain water.
00:24:44.72\00:24:45.75
And then what about
filtered with charcoal?
00:24:45.78\00:24:48.09
It's probably
better because it takes out
00:24:48.30\00:24:52.06
the chlorine and some
of the other substances.
00:24:52.07\00:24:54.81
How much water should I drink?
00:24:58.06\00:24:59.42
I always hear 6 to 8
glasses is that valid,
00:24:59.43\00:25:03.51
or how do you tell?
00:25:03.52\00:25:04.66
The problem is people come in
00:25:05.57\00:25:07.12
different sizes they
have different needs.
00:25:07.13\00:25:09.21
And if it's a hot day
versus if you're exercising
00:25:09.24\00:25:12.06
6 to 8 glasses is
maybe a good rule of thumb.
00:25:12.39\00:25:15.75
But I think a far
better way is to actually let
00:25:16.18\00:25:19.75
your urine be the guide
in how much you should get.
00:25:19.87\00:25:23.87
So my urine being the
guide is sort of interesting.
00:25:24.15\00:25:28.33
I've never thought of
being led around by my urine.
00:25:28.36\00:25:30.72
But what do you mean by
letting the urine be the guide?
00:25:30.73\00:25:34.30
As you pee in the
toilet and look at the color
00:25:34.31\00:25:39.84
it's pretty
straight forward but it's
00:25:40.18\00:25:41.84
something we need
to pay attention to,
00:25:41.85\00:25:44.06
if it's really dark yellow then
we're not getting enough water.
00:25:44.07\00:25:48.57
If it's clear then we
know we're doing a good job.
00:25:48.75\00:25:51.06
So it should be as
close to clear as possible?
00:25:51.18\00:25:53.54
Really that's true.
00:25:53.57\00:25:54.57
And if you're
seeing that it's not
00:25:55.24\00:25:57.06
you need to drink
2, 3, 4 more glasses?
00:25:57.07\00:26:00.54
Get more water.
00:26:00.55\00:26:01.54
But the problem is
that urine comes at the end.
00:26:01.55\00:26:03.69
In other words it's what you
should have been doing before.
00:26:04.09\00:26:06.30
So how can you make sure
that you're getting enough?
00:26:06.31\00:26:08.63
What you can do is you can use
the urine as a general guide.
00:26:09.12\00:26:11.57
And you would
say, boy I'm just...
00:26:11.58\00:26:12.78
It's a reminder, I'm
not getting enough water
00:26:13.06\00:26:14.84
so I need to do
things to be able to help
00:26:14.85\00:26:16.69
get enough water, as
evidenced by clear urine.
00:26:17.72\00:26:21.27
Okay, so I get my water bottle,
00:26:21.51\00:26:24.06
can the water be
damaged at all by
00:26:24.09\00:26:25.48
sitting in a
plastic bottle in the sun?
00:26:25.49\00:26:28.45
Tell us about that.
00:26:29.21\00:26:30.21
Yeah, there are
significant concerns
00:26:30.22\00:26:31.72
about certain
substances within plastics.
00:26:31.73\00:26:35.36
The harder the
plastic the better.
00:26:35.39\00:26:37.06
For me I actually use a
stainless steel container.
00:26:37.30\00:26:41.12
Or even a glass
container is probably a safer
00:26:41.39\00:26:46.09
way to store water.
00:26:46.33\00:26:47.54
And if you have it in the sun,
if it's in a plastic bottle,
00:26:48.06\00:26:51.45
it's probably not good
00:26:51.46\00:26:52.45
there are certain chemicals
that can leach into the water.
00:26:52.46\00:26:54.72
But if it's in
glass or something
00:26:54.78\00:26:58.06
that's not going to
leach out that's better.
00:26:58.07\00:26:59.48
So the most
important thing is, get water.
00:26:59.51\00:27:01.42
Yes.
00:27:01.43\00:27:02.42
And get enough water based on
00:27:02.43\00:27:04.54
6 to 8 glasses is the
rule of thumb, but really,
00:27:04.55\00:27:06.48
look at your urine to
see if it's clear or not.
00:27:06.49\00:27:08.75
Make sure
you're getting the best
00:27:09.24\00:27:11.78
kind of
container for your water.
00:27:11.79\00:27:14.06
So you don't have
any chemical interaction.
00:27:14.09\00:27:16.39
But the bottom line is,
make sure you get water.
00:27:16.69\00:27:19.42
You really need water.
00:27:19.43\00:27:20.42
It's really hard to over do it.
00:27:20.43\00:27:21.69
Put it on your desk,
have it with you, carry it,
00:27:21.72\00:27:24.42
whatever you can do.
00:27:24.43\00:27:25.42
