Hi friends and welcome to
00:00:23.87\00:00:25.12
another
addition of NEWSTART Now.
00:00:25.13\00:00:26.84
In our studio with me today is
00:00:27.09\00:00:28.72
John Capitani from Stockton, CA
00:00:28.73\00:00:31.72
John came to
the NEWSTART program
00:00:32.42\00:00:34.84
with many many difficulties
00:00:34.85\00:00:37.54
rather than me explain them,
00:00:37.55\00:00:39.60
let's take a look of
when he first arrived.
00:00:39.61\00:00:41.87
I'm dealing with a
multitude of diseases.
00:00:42.84\00:00:46.60
Starting with
congenital heart failure,
00:00:46.61\00:00:49.36
peripheral
artery disease, diabetes
00:00:49.37\00:00:56.39
and high blood pressure.
00:00:56.40\00:00:58.12
I came to the realization that
I couldn't walk my dog anymore.
00:00:58.15\00:01:01.69
My legs are having a hard time.
00:01:01.70\00:01:04.63
The blood
circulation isn't the best.
00:01:04.64\00:01:08.15
I can't accompany my wife
to the grocery store anymore.
00:01:09.27\00:01:13.18
Life in general
has deteriorated.
00:01:13.19\00:01:16.63
I'm hoping to first
of all loose weight,
00:01:16.64\00:01:21.66
which would help
several of my conditions.
00:01:21.67\00:01:26.39
I would like to just
get a new start on life.
00:01:26.81\00:01:29.72
I want to get
off my medications.
00:01:30.09\00:01:31.75
I'm taking 15 or more
and I have insulin to take.
00:01:31.76\00:01:38.06
It complicates
your life quite a bit.
00:01:38.27\00:01:41.42
Welcome back friends,
00:01:44.78\00:01:46.30
and in our studio, John Capitani
00:01:46.31\00:01:48.57
How are you? -Hey Ron
00:01:48.58\00:01:50.15
As you know it has been 17 days
00:01:50.51\00:01:53.06
since you've arrived here.
00:01:53.07\00:01:54.69
I know you have a story to tell.
00:01:55.30\00:01:57.45
Let's tell our
viewers what has happened.
00:01:57.66\00:02:00.63
-I've had a
wonderful experience.
00:02:01.12\00:02:03.33
The staff and people around here
00:02:03.34\00:02:05.69
are very
knowledgeable and friendly.
00:02:05.72\00:02:07.78
They pray for you
and it's very inspiring.
00:02:08.30\00:02:12.15
The food is
great. I've enjoyed it.
00:02:12.84\00:02:16.15
I am learning to
change my lifestyle,
00:02:21.60\00:02:24.69
the importance of
water and exercise,
00:02:24.70\00:02:27.69
as well as the diet.
00:02:27.70\00:02:29.27
I've noticed quite
a change in my weight
00:02:29.28\00:02:34.81
which was probably the
most primary thing I came for,
00:02:34.82\00:02:38.69
along with trying
to reduce the medicines
00:02:38.70\00:02:42.45
-So John, let's
talk about your weight.
00:02:43.06\00:02:47.48
I know you've
lost several pounds.
00:02:47.49\00:02:49.87
How many pounds have you lost?
00:02:49.88\00:02:51.48
16 and I was quite amazed.
00:02:51.49\00:02:53.45
So that's the beginning of
loosing maybe 150 pounds or so.
00:02:53.46\00:02:58.60
-That's right. As I
think you mentioned.
00:02:58.61\00:03:01.42
What do you think contributed
to you loosing weight?
00:03:01.45\00:03:05.15
I've sure that it
was 2/3's exercise.
00:03:06.36\00:03:10.51
Loosing the
weight has helped me to
00:03:11.36\00:03:13.66
be able to exercise more.
00:03:13.67\00:03:15.84
which increases the weight loss.
00:03:15.85\00:03:18.15
as well as the ease of movement.
00:03:18.16\00:03:20.84
It was quite an experience.
00:03:22.21\00:03:24.18
-I want to ask you a
very important question
00:03:24.19\00:03:26.24
for the viewers.
00:03:26.25\00:03:27.42
Do you think that
if I sent you a book,
00:03:28.36\00:03:31.39
could you do this
lifestyle at home?
00:03:31.72\00:03:34.06
I really don't think so.
00:03:34.42\00:03:36.72
It is kind of a hands on deal.
00:03:36.73\00:03:40.09
-So being here,
let's adress the issues.
00:03:40.57\00:03:45.06
You learn about
nutrition, exercise, water
00:03:45.07\00:03:51.48
how much, when and why, etc etc
00:03:51.54\00:03:54.51
You learn about
sunshine, temperance, air,
00:03:54.52\00:03:59.24
rest, and trust
in a Devine power.
00:03:59.25\00:04:02.51
All of these things
you can read out of a book
00:04:02.72\00:04:06.33
but quite
frankly I agree with you,
00:04:06.34\00:04:08.51
I couldn't have done
it on my own at home.
00:04:08.52\00:04:11.12
I've been on diets, but
never a lifestyle change,
00:04:11.45\00:04:15.78
so significant as this.
00:04:16.15\00:04:17.75
-Yeah to experience it I
think it is very important.
00:04:18.27\00:04:22.06
It really seals it in your mind.
00:04:22.27\00:04:24.33
-The reason I asked
that questions is because
00:04:25.06\00:04:26.84
we have viewers
that call me and say Ron,
00:04:26.85\00:04:29.78
how can I do this at home?
00:04:30.09\00:04:31.78
I try to tell them
that they can try it
00:04:31.79\00:04:35.18
at home but I don't
know if they will succeed.
00:04:35.19\00:04:37.45
What happens is,
people will try something
00:04:38.12\00:04:41.15
and it doesn't work and
they never try it again.
00:04:41.16\00:04:44.60
They give up. -Yes
00:04:44.61\00:04:46.51
So we have been
blessed you and I John,
00:04:46.81\00:04:49.78
because we both have
learned this new lifestyle.
00:04:49.79\00:04:52.15
Let's here a
little more from you.
00:04:52.66\00:04:54.48
What did you like best
about all of the different
00:04:55.09\00:04:57.78
things that you've
done while you've been here.
00:04:57.79\00:05:00.18
I suppose what I liked
mostly is the hydrotherapy.
00:05:00.19\00:05:03.75
-I knew that you
were going to say that.
00:05:03.76\00:05:05.81
The sona and the nice massages
00:05:05.82\00:05:08.12
to ease the aches and pains.
00:05:08.13\00:05:10.18
It was very nice.
00:05:11.57\00:05:13.60
I enjoyed the food
00:05:13.61\00:05:15.06
and the walking as well
as the beautiful trails.
00:05:15.07\00:05:18.48
-What about
cooking? Are you a cook?
00:05:18.69\00:05:20.84
A little bit yeah.
00:05:21.27\00:05:23.45
Well you aught to be
because your Italian.
00:05:23.66\00:05:25.42
You've got to live
up to that standard.
00:05:25.43\00:05:27.24
Yeah and we enjoyed
the cooking classes.
00:05:27.48\00:05:31.69
We learned all about nutrition
00:05:32.21\00:05:33.84
and all of the
things that are good for you
00:05:33.85\00:05:36.30
or bad for you.
00:05:36.31\00:05:37.78
I think that's
pretty important as far as
00:05:38.54\00:05:41.54
getting rid of
visible fats in the diet
00:05:41.55\00:05:45.57
and animal proteins.
00:05:45.58\00:05:47.60
It can make a big difference.
00:05:48.66\00:05:50.21
I've already seen a difference.
00:05:50.22\00:05:51.78
-Yes, now what are you
going to do when you get home.
00:05:51.79\00:05:54.54
Are you going to continue on?
00:05:55.21\00:05:57.24
Do you have anyone
at home that is going to
00:05:57.25\00:05:59.21
assist you with this?
00:05:59.22\00:06:00.39
Yes, my wife is
over at the store
00:06:00.40\00:06:02.54
buying things right now.
00:06:02.55\00:06:04.48
-Oh at our store here on campus.
00:06:04.49\00:06:06.87
Ok, well I'm not sure
if the viewers are aware.
00:06:07.06\00:06:09.66
We have a
little mini market here
00:06:09.67\00:06:11.78
because we interduce our guests
00:06:12.09\00:06:14.06
to all of these
new kinds of foods
00:06:14.07\00:06:16.09
and this new
lifestyle. There are several
00:06:16.33\00:06:19.06
that I never heard of and
of course they haven't either.
00:06:19.07\00:06:21.57
So they get to
visit our little market
00:06:21.87\00:06:24.78
and purchase some of these items
00:06:25.27\00:06:27.15
that you may not otherwise
may no be able to find.
00:06:27.16\00:06:30.06
Is she going to join
you in this vegan diet?
00:06:30.39\00:06:33.39
I believe so, years ago we were
00:06:33.69\00:06:37.78
vegetarian which is a
little different than vegan
00:06:38.24\00:06:40.69
I have found.
00:06:40.70\00:06:42.63
-Is there anyone else at home?
00:06:45.81\00:06:49.12
Just my wife and I
00:06:49.78\00:06:52.06
I know that
there is some concern
00:06:53.57\00:06:55.78
with people who are watching us
00:06:55.79\00:06:57.42
that they too
feel are over weight.
00:06:57.43\00:07:01.36
Is there anything that
you can tell these folks
00:07:02.06\00:07:04.48
to encourage and inspire them?
00:07:04.49\00:07:06.09
I would say that
I can't stress more
00:07:07.30\00:07:11.57
the fact how important
water, exercise, and diet are.
00:07:11.58\00:07:16.57
Just walking is miraculous.
00:07:16.58\00:07:19.54
-It's amazing isn't it
00:07:20.06\00:07:21.30
Yeah I wouldn't
have thought that.
00:07:21.31\00:07:22.75
So what are you
walking well let's get back
00:07:23.87\00:07:27.15
to this question first,
00:07:27.16\00:07:29.21
This half mile loop. Were you
able to walk it the first time.
00:07:29.39\00:07:33.06
-No. I started out
around the flag pole.
00:07:33.51\00:07:38.30
back and forth by the cafeteria
00:07:38.84\00:07:41.51
Actually
everywhere you go around here
00:07:42.06\00:07:44.30
there is kinda a
little hike. -Yes
00:07:44.31\00:07:46.15
A few hills and whatnot.
00:07:46.72\00:07:48.51
Can you walk the
half mile loop now?
00:07:49.12\00:07:51.51
I've never made
it, I've never tried.
00:07:51.78\00:07:54.36
-You've never tried ok.
00:07:54.37\00:07:55.84
I walk the halls
and by the flag pole.
00:07:55.85\00:07:59.51
The circle between the
lodge and the cafeteria.
00:07:59.84\00:08:03.63
I just have to take it
a little step at a time.
00:08:04.57\00:08:08.21
I've gradually increased.
00:08:08.51\00:08:10.21
I hope to continue that process.
00:08:10.22\00:08:13.63
-What about your
treadmill test that you did
00:08:14.81\00:08:18.06
You had one when
you arrived here.
00:08:18.27\00:08:20.75
and a second one
that you did yesterday.
00:08:20.76\00:08:23.33
How did they compare.
00:08:23.54\00:08:25.12
I was able to
double the amount of time
00:08:25.78\00:08:28.81
and I wasn't huffing and puffing
00:08:29.78\00:08:32.21
quite as much as the first time.
00:08:32.22\00:08:34.12
I was very surprised and
I guess the doctor was too.
00:08:35.48\00:08:39.06
-Do you feel that your
heart is getting stronger?
00:08:39.48\00:08:42.06
Yes, I believe
with the weight loss
00:08:42.51\00:08:46.30
that I shortened the
amount of blood vessels
00:08:46.31\00:08:51.18
by 90 miles or something.
00:08:51.19\00:08:55.48
-That's amazing.
00:08:57.24\00:08:58.24
So that makes it a little
easier on the heart to pump.
00:08:58.25\00:09:01.42
-Absolutely, and I
guess that your doctor
00:09:01.43\00:09:04.75
told you or one
of the lecturers,
00:09:04.76\00:09:06.69
they told you
about the prostaglandins
00:09:06.70\00:09:09.48
in the vegetables and how
they expand the capillaries,
00:09:09.49\00:09:13.36
arteries, and veins.
00:09:13.37\00:09:14.87
So that the energy
that is being pumped
00:09:15.39\00:09:18.36
by the heart. The
blood if you will,
00:09:18.37\00:09:21.06
is being dispersed
further and further
00:09:21.07\00:09:23.75
to your hands and feet.
00:09:23.76\00:09:26.84
-Yeah, I'm hoping that
it will help with my legs
00:09:27.12\00:09:29.33
and my feet. -It will
00:09:29.34\00:09:31.78
So John, why did
you choose NEWSTART?
00:09:33.54\00:09:36.63
-Some dear friends were
concerned about my health.
00:09:37.72\00:09:41.57
They made it
possible for me to come.
00:09:42.33\00:09:44.60
I wasn't really sure but
00:09:44.61\00:09:47.12
I have been praying
that God would heal me
00:09:47.13\00:09:50.42
physically and spiritually
and I found both things here.
00:09:50.43\00:09:54.42
We want to thank your friends.
00:09:55.27\00:09:57.06
-I sure do yeah
00:09:57.51\00:09:58.66
I want to thank
you for joining us
00:09:59.51\00:10:01.66
on our set John, -Thank you
00:10:01.67\00:10:03.66
God bless you in your
new walk and your new life.
00:10:03.67\00:10:07.36
Friends I want to thank you.
00:10:08.09\00:10:09.63
Don't go away because
Dr. Ing will be with us
00:10:09.64\00:10:13.03

00:10:13.04\00:10:14.57
Well, you've done very well.
00:10:16.21\00:10:18.12
Do you have diabetes,
00:10:24.21\00:10:25.48
heart disease,
high blood pressure,
00:10:25.49\00:10:27.57
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:28.12\00:10:29.42
Hi, my name is Dr. Ing,
and I'd like to tell you
00:10:30.30\00:10:33.09

foothills of the Sierras.
00:10:49.82\00:10:52.30

00:10:54.36\00:10:55.78
important things
that you have. Don't wait.

00:11:03.21\00:11:04.45
Welcome back friends,
00:11:22.06\00:11:23.24
and in our studio what
a blessing to have Dr. Ing
00:11:23.25\00:11:26.78
I say it's a blessing because
00:11:27.09\00:11:29.75
I know that you've been
here a very very long time.
00:11:30.18\00:11:34.75
and I mean at
the NEWSTART program.
00:11:35.12\00:11:37.06
How long has that been?
00:11:37.07\00:11:38.36
I'm starting my 14th
year but when you say that,
00:11:39.06\00:11:42.48
I don't want you
to make me sound old.
00:11:42.49\00:11:46.72
-No, you're far from old.
00:11:46.73\00:11:49.18
It is such a
blessing to have you here
00:11:49.51\00:11:51.33
and it's always fun to
have an interview with you.
00:11:51.34\00:11:54.27
-It's great to be
here and see the Lord's
00:11:54.28\00:11:57.24
blessings on the wonderful
guests who come to our program.
00:11:57.25\00:12:00.42
Which brings us
to John Capitani.
00:12:00.63\00:12:03.33
You were his
doctor while he has here.
00:12:03.84\00:12:08.21
-Right, I had the privilege
with working with John.
00:12:08.22\00:12:10.30
He is a very interesting
and unique gentleman.
00:12:10.31\00:12:13.60
-Now I know John
had a lot of conditions,
00:12:14.06\00:12:16.78
several of which we
just discussed with him,
00:12:16.79\00:12:19.27
but that's from the
laymen's point of view,
00:12:19.72\00:12:22.75
he and I both being laymen.
00:12:22.87\00:12:24.54
What about as his doctor.
00:12:25.45\00:12:27.30
How do you approach these?
00:12:28.06\00:12:29.57
I know that you've been
doing them for a long time.
00:12:29.58\00:12:31.48
What do you do?
Where do you start?
00:12:31.78\00:12:33.81
-I guess we start
right at the beginning.
00:12:34.63\00:12:37.60
The patients come in and I say,
00:12:37.61\00:12:39.84
what are your health problems or
00:12:39.85\00:12:41.66
your health challenges.
00:12:41.67\00:12:43.33
One of them is his
weight, which is obvious
00:12:44.21\00:12:47.39
when you see the gentlemen.
00:12:47.40\00:12:49.06
Another one is his diabetes.
00:12:49.27\00:12:51.06
Along with that also goes
usually high blood pressure
00:12:52.06\00:12:54.75
which he also had.
00:12:54.76\00:12:56.18
-He also had some sort
of a heart problem as well.
00:12:57.87\00:13:02.21
What was that?
00:13:03.27\00:13:04.66
-Well that wasn't
his major concern.
00:13:04.67\00:13:07.21
I'm curtain that he has
some heart problem because
00:13:07.22\00:13:11.06
the number 1 complication of
00:13:11.07\00:13:13.09
diabetes is some
form of heart disease.
00:13:13.10\00:13:15.81
Cardiovascular
disease. Either a heart attack
00:13:15.82\00:13:19.75
or stroke, high blood
pressure and all of those go
00:13:19.76\00:13:22.81
along together. He definitely
had high blood pressure.
00:13:22.82\00:13:25.84
-So it's fairly
common that those of us who,
00:13:26.12\00:13:29.51
already have or do have will
00:13:29.87\00:13:32.21
deal with some form of
cardiovascular disease.
00:13:32.48\00:13:36.09
-Absolutely. In
fact that's the number 1
00:13:36.33\00:13:38.63
common cause of death.
00:13:39.15\00:13:40.69
People think that
if they have diabetes,
00:13:41.24\00:13:43.75
they need to be
concerned that they
00:13:43.76\00:13:45.87
might loose their
toes or feet because
00:13:45.88\00:13:49.63
of gangrene or they
might have kidney problems
00:13:49.64\00:13:53.21
because of End
stage Renal disease
00:13:53.39\00:13:55.87
and may end up on dialysis.
00:13:55.88\00:13:57.87
or they may go blind
because of complications
00:13:57.88\00:14:00.72
of diabetic retinopathy.
00:14:00.73\00:14:02.42
Those do happen but
it is far more common
00:14:03.60\00:14:06.72
to have some form of
cardiovascular disease.
00:14:06.73\00:14:09.57
-Now I had a lady call me
00:14:09.58\00:14:11.48
concerning her
husband yesterday.
00:14:11.49\00:14:13.27
I'm told by her that
his physician suggested
00:14:13.75\00:14:19.09
that he go on dialysis.
00:14:19.51\00:14:21.51
At what point do we know
that someone needs dialysis?
00:14:21.81\00:14:26.30
You look at various factors but,
00:14:26.60\00:14:29.60
things that we look at are
how high the creatinine level
00:14:29.87\00:14:33.60
is in the blood. How high the
Blood Urea Nitrogen or BUN is.
00:14:33.61\00:14:38.06
Also how much protein
they have in their urine.
00:14:38.07\00:14:41.81
Probably one of the
earliest signs of kidney disease
00:14:42.21\00:14:44.87
in diabetes is
protein in the urine.
00:14:44.88\00:14:47.57
We look for
something called Microalbumin.
00:14:47.58\00:14:50.54
Microalbuminuria and
below a curtain number
00:14:51.06\00:14:54.51
it is acceptable
but once it goes past 30
00:14:54.52\00:14:58.57
than that's when we start
to see protein in the urine.
00:14:58.58\00:15:02.57
It usually
continues to get worse.
00:15:02.58\00:15:06.15
Unless the patients make
some changes in their lifestyle.
00:15:06.16\00:15:09.48
So we've seen from time to time,
00:15:10.18\00:15:12.09
and I know you've seen
it for many many years,
00:15:12.10\00:15:14.48
that those kinds of individuals
come to our NEWSTART program
00:15:15.06\00:15:18.72
and all of a sudden they no
longer have a renal failure,
00:15:19.36\00:15:24.12
they no longer have
high blood pressure,
00:15:24.13\00:15:27.15
and many of the other diseases.
00:15:27.16\00:15:28.84
How is this possible?
00:15:29.39\00:15:31.27
I have to thank
God about it because,
00:15:31.72\00:15:35.84
I know that many people
come here for various things.
00:15:36.24\00:15:39.21
We put them all
through this lifestyle change,
00:15:39.60\00:15:43.06
which almost seems
like one thing fixes all.
00:15:43.30\00:15:47.45
Can you comment about that?
00:15:47.84\00:15:49.24
Well as far as
00:15:49.60\00:15:51.81
Specifically we were
talking about kidney disease.
00:15:52.84\00:15:55.21
They find that
people with kidney disease,
00:15:55.45\00:15:58.75
on the standard
American diet, which by the way
00:15:58.76\00:16:02.30
the acronym for
standard American diet is Sad.
00:16:02.31\00:16:06.39
standard American
diet. High in fat,
00:16:06.40\00:16:09.48
high in refined
carbohydrates, high in protein.
00:16:09.49\00:16:13.18
This tends to speed up the
progress of kidney disease.
00:16:13.45\00:16:18.69
Putting them on
a plant based diet,
00:16:19.06\00:16:21.09
whole plant foods eaten whole,
00:16:21.10\00:16:23.24
we find that the
amount of work their
00:16:23.25\00:16:26.09
kidney has to do is much less.
00:16:26.10\00:16:28.21
The blood flow
through the kidney is less.
00:16:28.22\00:16:30.60
Oftentimes your creatinine and
their Blood Urea Nitrogen or BUN
00:16:30.61\00:16:35.18
come down and they have
less protein in the urine.
00:16:35.19\00:16:38.42
We've had patients
come here who were told
00:16:39.27\00:16:41.42
that they needed
to go on dialysis,
00:16:41.43\00:16:42.81
and with these changes,
00:16:42.82\00:16:44.18
they were able to delay
having to go on dialysis.
00:16:44.51\00:16:47.12
In other words,
their kidneys worked better
00:16:47.13\00:16:50.21
when they were on plant protein,
00:16:50.51\00:16:52.81
than using the
animal protein which
00:16:52.82\00:16:56.06
is so common in the
American diet and lifestyle.
00:16:56.07\00:16:58.63
-For the folks who are
watching this program right now,
00:16:59.06\00:17:02.39
I feel like you might make a
little plug to them right here
00:17:03.06\00:17:08.18
because many of them like
the lady I spoke with yesterday,
00:17:08.19\00:17:11.54
the husband just game up.
00:17:11.55\00:17:13.09
Do they give
up? What do they do?
00:17:13.54\00:17:16.06
-Well no, you're right
many people often give up
00:17:16.07\00:17:19.84
but there are
things that they can do.
00:17:19.85\00:17:21.69
If they are willing
to change, by all means
00:17:21.70\00:17:25.81
come to NEWSTART
and we can help you out
00:17:25.82\00:17:28.15
and get you started
in the right direction.
00:17:28.16\00:17:29.78
There are
curtain rules of health.
00:17:29.79\00:17:32.06
When we follow
the rules of health
00:17:32.07\00:17:33.87
I'm impressed that we can
ask for the Lord's blessing
00:17:33.88\00:17:37.51
and He will bless.
00:17:37.52\00:17:38.81
It very clearly
says this in Exodus 15:26
00:17:39.36\00:17:43.45
It was written about
the children of Israel.
00:17:43.46\00:17:47.39
but they said when you
follow the rules of health,
00:17:47.40\00:17:49.45
You're not going to get the same
diseases that the Egyptians had.
00:17:49.81\00:17:53.06
The application today is
that if you follow the rules
00:17:55.45\00:17:58.27
of healthful living which
you've been given in the Bible,
00:17:58.28\00:18:00.60
than we don't
get the same diseases
00:18:01.33\00:18:04.21
that all the
people in the world get.
00:18:04.22\00:18:05.81
There is less
diabetes, less heart disease,
00:18:06.09\00:18:08.63
less high blood
pressure, and less cancer.
00:18:08.64\00:18:10.87
The Adventist health
study has confirmed this.
00:18:10.88\00:18:13.06
-Yes, now getting back to John.
00:18:13.36\00:18:16.81
Is there any particular
prescription that you gave him
00:18:17.78\00:18:23.06
to follow while he was here?
00:18:23.07\00:18:25.12
We started with the diet,
N is Nutrition in NEWSTART.
00:18:25.39\00:18:30.33
Whole plant foods is the only
kind of foods they get here.
00:18:30.34\00:18:33.69
That was very important.
00:18:33.87\00:18:36.30
When he first
came here he was using,
00:18:37.18\00:18:40.78
55 units of the
slow acting insulin
00:18:42.27\00:18:46.18
2 times a day and he
was using about 50 units
00:18:46.19\00:18:51.69
of a fast acting
insulin twice a day.
00:18:51.70\00:18:54.51
He said his blood sugars
were between 250 and 300.
00:18:54.72\00:18:58.66
with all of that
insulin 210 unites.
00:18:58.67\00:19:01.48
I just talked
with him this morning,
00:19:01.49\00:19:05.06
now he is using 35 unites
of the slow acting insulin
00:19:06.39\00:19:12.09
twice a day and 15 unites of the
fast acting insulin twice a day.
00:19:12.10\00:19:18.06
So that's -100
00:19:18.33\00:19:20.60
Yeah 100 unites
verses 210 unites a day.
00:19:20.61\00:19:25.33
-210 to 100 that's remarkable.
00:19:26.18\00:19:29.09
That's right and you know,
00:19:29.10\00:19:30.84
the blood sugar
values are much lower.
00:19:30.85\00:19:33.66
The other thing is
that his wife as joined him
00:19:33.67\00:19:37.21
on the program since
they have returned home.
00:19:37.42\00:19:40.51
She is loosing weight
and her blood pressures
00:19:40.60\00:19:43.27
are coming down and so
are his blood pressures.
00:19:43.28\00:19:46.69
He is able to get
around and do much more.
00:19:47.09\00:19:49.72
I talked to him
over the weekend.
00:19:50.66\00:19:52.84
He went home on
Thursday and on Friday
00:19:54.06\00:19:57.21
he was able to go
shopping with his wife
00:19:57.22\00:19:59.66
and they went to get
some of the groceries
00:19:59.67\00:20:01.63
and things that he
learned that he needed to
00:20:01.64\00:20:03.57
get at NEWSTART.
00:20:03.58\00:20:04.75
He said that he hadn't been
shopping with his wife for years
00:20:04.76\00:20:08.51
because he could hardly walk.
00:20:08.52\00:20:11.54
All the walking that
he did was in his house.
00:20:11.87\00:20:15.48
The Bed, to bathroom, to eat,
00:20:15.75\00:20:19.27
to an easy chair,
and back to bed again.
00:20:19.54\00:20:22.12
He has done
remarkably well since than.
00:20:22.66\00:20:25.60
He is proof that when
you follow the principles
00:20:25.61\00:20:28.36
of nutrition,
exercise, water, sunshine,
00:20:28.37\00:20:31.00
temperance, air,
rest, and trust in God,
00:20:31.33\00:20:33.54
that you get
better. We prayed with him.
00:20:33.55\00:20:35.87
Our staff prayed for
him and the Lord blessed.
00:20:35.88\00:20:39.63
When you follow
the rules of health,
00:20:40.39\00:20:41.84
you can confidently ask
God to bless your efforts.
00:20:41.87\00:20:44.81
-Amen, now I asked John,
and you saw the question,
00:20:44.82\00:20:50.12
Can people do this
at home? This program?
00:20:50.72\00:20:53.51
Maybe a very
strong willed person
00:20:57.00\00:20:59.42
who can read a book and
can say, I'm going to do that.
00:20:59.43\00:21:02.06
Most people aren't
going to be able to do it.
00:21:02.30\00:21:05.06
Very very few people.
00:21:05.15\00:21:06.63
Dr. Ing, I want to
thank you for joining us.
00:21:07.33\00:21:10.09
It's always a pleasure
and God bless your ministry.
00:21:10.10\00:21:12.75
Thank you for
being here. -Thank you
00:21:13.36\00:21:15.45
Friends thank
you for joining us.
00:21:15.46\00:21:17.33
Don't go away because we have
00:21:17.34\00:21:19.06
an important tip
for you right now.
00:21:19.07\00:21:21.54
Hello and welcome
to NEWSTART at home,
00:21:36.42\00:21:37.81
I'm your host Don Mackintosh,
00:21:37.82\00:21:39.42
we are glad you
are with us today,
00:21:39.43\00:21:40.51
we are also glad that
Dr. Doug plata is with us
00:21:40.81\00:21:44.42
Welcome Doctor. -Thank you
00:21:44.63\00:21:46.48
Your specialty
is family practice
00:21:46.49\00:21:48.27
and also preventive medicine.
00:21:48.28\00:21:51.06
I just want to talk with you,
maybe we'll do a couple programs
00:21:51.39\00:21:55.33
What should we do in
terms of first response,
00:21:55.69\00:21:59.24
when we find
out about something.
00:21:59.25\00:22:01.69
The very first time
you find out that you have
00:22:01.70\00:22:03.30
an issue with
some physical thing,
00:22:03.31\00:22:04.66
it's sometimes
a little daunting,
00:22:04.67\00:22:06.27
people say, well
what do I do about that,
00:22:06.28\00:22:08.06
is it serious? Is it
something that I can let slide.
00:22:08.07\00:22:11.09
What I want to talk
about today is hypertension
00:22:11.10\00:22:14.60
or high blood pressure. -Right
00:22:14.61\00:22:17.06
What is it? Should we
be concerned about it?
00:22:17.30\00:22:20.48
What should we do
if we find out that we
00:22:20.49\00:22:23.21
are struggling with
high blood pressure,
00:22:23.22\00:22:24.63
What is the first thing?
00:22:24.64\00:22:26.18
Right, people
find out that they have
00:22:26.19\00:22:28.57
high blood pressure
in different settings.
00:22:28.58\00:22:30.66
Very commonly they
are in a doctors office
00:22:30.67\00:22:33.21
for some other
reason, and we do vitals.
00:22:33.22\00:22:35.27
One of those
vitals is blood pressure
00:22:35.28\00:22:37.06
and people say,
wow it's running high.
00:22:37.07\00:22:38.72
It all depends on if
it is a little bit high,
00:22:39.15\00:22:44.45
as people get older their
blood pressure tends to go up,
00:22:44.46\00:22:47.21
or if it is
really high and they have
00:22:47.22\00:22:50.81
a Hypertension
emergency for example.
00:22:50.82\00:22:53.42
-So sometimes just when
they meet you their blood
00:22:53.43\00:22:55.57
pressure goes up because they
have that white coat syndrome
00:22:55.58\00:22:57.84
-right. Is that
real? It actually is.
00:22:57.85\00:23:00.75
White jacket hypertension.
00:23:00.76\00:23:02.72
I see it very
frequently, it's fairly common.
00:23:02.73\00:23:06.57
We try to do a
couple things, we try to
00:23:08.48\00:23:11.51
check it again after
they calm down a little.
00:23:11.52\00:23:13.66
I've literally even
tried to not wear a jacket
00:23:13.67\00:23:16.57
but I think it is
actually doctor hypertension
00:23:16.58\00:23:18.57
not just white jacket. -Right,
00:23:18.58\00:23:19.66
So you do it 2 or
3 times but than you
00:23:19.67\00:23:22.72
find out that you
do have hypertension,
00:23:22.73\00:23:25.06
what is the next step?
What should you do than?
00:23:25.15\00:23:27.15
Let me just emphasise,
00:23:27.16\00:23:28.69
we don't really
make a diagnosis,
00:23:28.72\00:23:31.15
if we are
measuring slightly elevated
00:23:31.16\00:23:33.42
blood pressure, we
don't make a diagnosis
00:23:33.43\00:23:35.06
of hypertension,
we like to check it
00:23:35.07\00:23:36.48
on 2 separate settings because
00:23:36.63\00:23:38.81
our blood pressure goes up
and down throughout the day.
00:23:38.82\00:23:41.69
Just because we
get one spot reading,
00:23:41.87\00:23:45.24
is not a diagnosis
unless it is incredibly high.
00:23:45.25\00:23:48.33
-Let's say that it
is high blood pressure.
00:23:48.42\00:23:51.39
-Unfortunately
many of my colleagues,
00:23:52.21\00:23:54.69
who are not
oriented to lifestyle
00:23:54.70\00:23:59.27
approach to the
practice of medicine,
00:23:59.28\00:24:01.33
I joke that
they tap their tendon
00:24:01.63\00:24:04.51
and than they
right out prescription.
00:24:04.52\00:24:06.75
Unfortunately a lot of
patients are immediately
00:24:06.76\00:24:08.51
put on a
prescription for blood pressure.
00:24:08.52\00:24:10.60
If it is mild or even a
lower moderate hypertension,
00:24:10.84\00:24:14.12
really the first
thing we aught to do is
00:24:14.21\00:24:16.42
try to maximize
lifestyle intervention.
00:24:16.43\00:24:19.15
In most cases,
for mild hypertension,
00:24:19.16\00:24:21.69
it can be
controlled with lifestyle.
00:24:21.70\00:24:23.15
-So what are some quick things
00:24:23.16\00:24:25.21
that they can do lifestyle wise.
00:24:25.22\00:24:26.45
-There is a number
of very simple things,
00:24:26.46\00:24:29.06
one is, you can get exercise.
Especially aerobic exercise.
00:24:29.07\00:24:34.42
Things like
walking, or bicycling
00:24:34.43\00:24:37.69
which I enjoy doing.
00:24:37.70\00:24:39.06
Exercise by itself is
really quite powerful.
00:24:39.24\00:24:42.60
The second thing in
terms of diet, is salt.
00:24:43.06\00:24:47.24
A curtain percentage of patients
00:24:47.57\00:24:50.21
are actually very
sensitive to salt.
00:24:50.22\00:24:51.66
So if they could
reduce their salt intake,
00:24:51.67\00:24:53.57
that would be recommended.
00:24:53.72\00:24:55.57
Especially no adding of salt,
00:24:55.81\00:24:57.51
looking at the labels
00:24:57.52\00:24:59.09
and seeing where it is.
00:24:59.10\00:25:00.42
The third thing is
loosing some weight
00:25:00.78\00:25:03.63
and that by itself can
often times do the trick.
00:25:03.69\00:25:05.78
Alcohol, caffeine,
or tabaco, can raise
00:25:06.21\00:25:10.63
the blood pressure as well.
00:25:10.64\00:25:12.57
-Once they have
tried those things,
00:25:12.87\00:25:15.39
and if those
things are not working,
00:25:15.40\00:25:17.18
that is when they maybe need to
00:25:17.19\00:25:19.33
talk about some other things
00:25:19.34\00:25:20.84
because it is not something
that you want to leave alone.
00:25:20.85\00:25:23.06
-No, high blood
pressure or hypertension
00:25:23.07\00:25:25.72
is called the silent
killer, that is without symtoms.
00:25:25.73\00:25:29.06
If you don't know about it
because you don't have symtoms,
00:25:29.36\00:25:33.42
it can put you at a
significant risk of stroke,
00:25:33.43\00:25:36.72
and that is very
disabling, to have a stroke
00:25:37.24\00:25:40.21
and loose a function,
00:25:40.22\00:25:41.51
as well as a
heart attack as well.
00:25:41.52\00:25:45.60
-Would you agree
that hypertension
00:25:46.75\00:25:49.24
is usually
related to something else?
00:25:49.25\00:25:50.87
What you said is
maybe they are overweight,
00:25:50.88\00:25:53.12
maybe they're this
maybe they're that.
00:25:53.13\00:25:54.60
You probably try and help
00:25:54.78\00:25:56.27
them discover
that that issue is.
00:25:56.28\00:25:58.09
-Yeah you know,
high blood pressure
00:25:58.27\00:26:00.45
falls into 2 categories,
00:26:00.46\00:26:01.87
we probably won't
get into that here
00:26:01.88\00:26:03.21
but primary and secondary.
00:26:03.22\00:26:04.27
It can be caused by some
other medical conditions.
00:26:04.28\00:26:06.63
Most often it is
caused by lifestyle or ageing.
00:26:07.09\00:26:12.09
-Well this was very practical
advice to give you something
00:26:12.42\00:26:16.09
if you know of someone who
is struggling with hypertension
00:26:16.24\00:26:18.36
or high blood pressure.
First of all know your numbers,
00:26:18.37\00:26:20.54
get your blood
pressure checked a couple times.
00:26:20.55\00:26:23.15
It is not something
that you want to ignore.
00:26:23.16\00:26:26.78
Than follow the steps
that you've heard today.
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.66

Thank you so much
for being with us today,
00:26:43.69\00:26:45.57
and also thank you
doctor for being with us,
00:26:45.58\00:26:47.12
-My pleasure.
00:26:47.13\00:26:48.27
Modern views of
evolution stem all the way back
00:26:55.63\00:26:58.24
to theories
developed in the mid-1800s.
00:26:58.27\00:27:00.72
Out of the same time
period came ideas that shape
00:27:01.39\00:27:04.69
our educational system today.
00:27:04.72\00:27:06.87
The Common School
Movement, for example,
00:27:07.51\00:27:09.78
saw schools more like a factory,
00:27:10.24\00:27:12.15
with students blindly
memorizing instruction
00:27:12.16\00:27:14.81
rather than
thinking for themselves.
00:27:14.84\00:27:16.81
Their curriculum was
rigid and theoretical.
00:27:17.36\00:27:19.81
Instead of being
flexible and practical,
00:27:19.82\00:27:22.66
it was designed to
conform the individual
00:27:22.81\00:27:25.30
into a specific ideological mold
00:27:25.39\00:27:27.84
that fit the needs
of an old industrial era
00:27:28.18\00:27:30.63
long since passed.
00:27:30.64\00:27:32.12
Just like our view of
creation in six literal days,
00:27:33.39\00:27:36.63
we believe the Bible contains
an educational blueprint
00:27:36.72\00:27:40.72
radically different
from the one we see now.
00:27:41.09\00:27:43.45
