Hi friends and
welcome to another edition of
00:00:23.84\00:00:26.06
NEWSTART Now.
00:00:26.09\00:00:27.09
We have a good
friend of mine, Peter Newton
00:00:27.48\00:00:29.63
in the studio with us today,
all the way from Colorado.
00:00:29.66\00:00:32.60
And Peter came to us with a
00:00:33.12\00:00:35.03
series of
problems that I'd like you
00:00:35.33\00:00:37.33
to take a look at
when he first arrived.
00:00:37.36\00:00:39.12
When I was a young boy
00:00:41.09\00:00:43.24
I was an onset
of type 1 diabetes
00:00:44.57\00:00:46.87
at age two years old.
00:00:47.12\00:00:49.39
The reason I really
needed to come is because
00:00:50.27\00:00:53.81
I needed to get my
health under control,
00:00:54.03\00:00:55.75
watch my diet, get
on the right foods,
00:00:56.36\00:00:59.42
get my exercise program
00:00:59.51\00:01:01.27
down to where when I head home
00:01:01.69\00:01:05.45
I could live a happy life.
00:01:05.87\00:01:08.45
When I plan to go home,
00:01:08.78\00:01:10.48
what I want most
from this program
00:01:11.21\00:01:13.60
is to be able
00:01:14.27\00:01:15.66
to speak with God
00:01:16.06\00:01:17.54
communicate with God
00:01:17.69\00:01:19.45
better.
00:01:19.84\00:01:20.81
To help me out, I
really need His guidance
00:01:21.39\00:01:24.15
at this point
in time in my life.
00:01:24.27\00:01:25.87
and I think this is
00:01:26.27\00:01:28.06
the place to be.
00:01:28.24\00:01:29.66
Welcome back friends,
00:01:33.15\00:01:34.42
Peter how are you friend?
00:01:34.43\00:01:35.54
-Good, good.
00:01:35.57\00:01:36.54
-Good to see
you! -How are you Don?
00:01:36.55\00:01:37.54
-I'm doing good -Great, great.
00:01:37.63\00:01:39.24
So, you came
here looking for hope?
00:01:39.36\00:01:45.03
Did you find it?
00:01:46.24\00:01:47.36
-There is hope.
00:01:47.48\00:01:48.63
-There is a lot of hope.
00:01:49.78\00:01:50.84
-Tell us about some hope!
00:01:51.09\00:01:52.39
-Well, I had my doubts
00:01:52.40\00:01:54.21
when I came because I've
been into a lot of places,
00:01:55.24\00:01:58.87
4 or 5 institutions...
well not institutions, rehabs.
00:01:59.24\00:02:02.27
and stuff...
00:02:02.45\00:02:04.15
I thought this is my last chance
00:02:04.42\00:02:06.36
let's give it a try.
00:02:07.12\00:02:08.81
So yeah, there's hope
00:02:10.27\00:02:12.06
I'm feeling really good,
00:02:12.18\00:02:13.57
got my blood tests back.
00:02:13.66\00:02:15.30
My cholesterol is down.
00:02:15.66\00:02:16.81
It was at 195 total,
00:02:17.15\00:02:20.27
and it went clear down to 143.
00:02:20.36\00:02:22.63
-Wow, that's great!
00:02:22.75\00:02:24.36
-In 17 days I lost 9 pounds
00:02:24.45\00:02:27.60
-I thought you
looked a little leaner
00:02:29.36\00:02:31.60
-Well I just shaved.
00:02:31.75\00:02:32.87
(laughs)
00:02:32.88\00:02:35.00
But anyways...
00:02:35.33\00:02:36.39
this program is just great.
00:02:38.15\00:02:39.69
The doctors,
00:02:40.15\00:02:41.36
the food, the
cooks, the nutritionist...
00:02:41.51\00:02:44.63
it's just great.
00:02:46.33\00:02:47.42
So what did you like best?
00:02:47.63\00:02:48.78
If it's all great,
what did you like the best?
00:02:49.00\00:02:51.36
The walking? They hydro?
00:02:51.66\00:02:54.12
I think the main
thing I came here for
00:02:55.48\00:02:57.87
was my spiritual help.
00:02:58.24\00:02:59.51
Is that right? And
how did you get that here?
00:03:00.24\00:03:02.72
Well at 7:45 you
didn't want to be late
00:03:02.81\00:03:06.09
because it was
time for Viola Kaiser
00:03:06.21\00:03:09.36
to get up there and talk.
00:03:09.45\00:03:10.69
And she was never late
00:03:10.78\00:03:12.51
And Viola is, for
those who are watching,
00:03:14.75\00:03:17.45
Yes, she is our
chaplain and councilor
00:03:17.72\00:03:21.78
-And councilor
00:03:22.03\00:03:23.60
Now you receive
council from her,
00:03:23.78\00:03:26.06
you make appointments
with her through the week
00:03:26.36\00:03:29.00
and maybe see her
once or twice a week?
00:03:29.18\00:03:30.87
I see her three times a week.
00:03:31.18\00:03:32.57
Three to four times a week.
00:03:32.84\00:03:35.18
Cause I asked
for more appointments
00:03:35.27\00:03:37.75
and they give them to me here.
00:03:38.03\00:03:39.30
They give you what you need.
00:03:39.45\00:03:41.30
-And she kind of
took you by the hand?
00:03:41.54\00:03:43.66
-She did.
00:03:43.78\00:03:45.09
She's very experienced in
00:03:45.42\00:03:47.45
some of my problems. I
had substance abuse problems
00:03:49.15\00:03:52.60
She really, really
guided me along here
00:03:54.84\00:03:59.03
to where there is hope
00:03:59.36\00:04:00.66
I'm going to keep in
contact with her on the phone,
00:04:01.18\00:04:04.33
and just go from
there. It's great.
00:04:04.72\00:04:06.81
-Alright!
00:04:07.00\00:04:08.39
Now, what about diabetes?
00:04:09.27\00:04:11.81
I know you've been diabetic
00:04:12.15\00:04:14.69
since you were two years old,
00:04:15.42\00:04:17.15
has that changed at all?
00:04:17.84\00:04:19.63
Yes it has.
00:04:21.60\00:04:23.66
My blood sugar when I
came in was around 211
00:04:24.63\00:04:30.00
They're down to 155
and going down day by day
00:04:30.54\00:04:34.00
I have the insulin pump
00:04:34.33\00:04:36.00
and Dr. DeRose is familiar
with those and getting it set
00:04:37.15\00:04:41.18
There's like five or
six different settings
00:04:43.21\00:04:45.63
I'm on six settings now
00:04:45.87\00:04:47.48
because of the
exercise and the diet
00:04:47.81\00:04:50.63
missing meals at night
00:04:50.81\00:04:52.39
we set the basal
and the bolus different
00:04:52.45\00:04:55.09
I've had this
insulin pump since late 2006
00:04:55.30\00:05:00.51
and never have had it set.
00:05:00.60\00:05:02.84
-And you've had to reset it here
00:05:03.15\00:05:04.69
-Yes. -So you're
taking less insulin?
00:05:04.75\00:05:07.21
-Yes, yes.
00:05:07.24\00:05:08.57
So you've had some
progress with your diabetes.
00:05:09.54\00:05:12.36
-Oh definitely!
00:05:12.51\00:05:13.72
Now why do you think
that that has happened?
00:05:13.81\00:05:16.03
What have you learned here,
00:05:16.21\00:05:18.30
in a word or two,
00:05:19.21\00:05:20.69
that has helped you
reduce your glucose?
00:05:20.87\00:05:24.21
Well...
00:05:24.63\00:05:25.75
Whole plant foods eaten whole.
00:05:26.15\00:05:28.00
-Amen! (laughs)
00:05:28.15\00:05:30.48
You got that down pretty good!
00:05:30.63\00:05:32.81
-Your green vegetables...
00:05:33.33\00:05:35.45
and the right amount
of carb intake for me
00:05:35.81\00:05:37.81
carb to insulin ratio...
00:05:40.51\00:05:42.12
Getting it all set.
00:05:44.72\00:05:46.69
-Wonderful.
00:05:48.18\00:05:49.48
Now what about walking?
00:05:49.75\00:05:51.66
You know I picked you up
at the airport, I remember,
00:05:53.03\00:05:55.48
two weeks ago. How could I not.
00:05:56.45\00:05:57.78
And you were strong then
00:05:58.30\00:06:00.54
and you're healthy...apparently
00:06:00.72\00:06:03.45
it just looked that way.
00:06:03.66\00:06:05.06
But you were able to walk and
do things other guests couldn't.
00:06:05.45\00:06:10.00
Are you walking 40 miles a day?
00:06:10.21\00:06:13.30
Or any big record
that you're breaking here?
00:06:13.48\00:06:16.21
Well I came in here
thinking, "you know,
00:06:16.45\00:06:18.87
I don't know how
much walking I'm gonna do"
00:06:19.42\00:06:21.18
I have a broken ankle.
00:06:21.24\00:06:22.57
I still have
another surgery to do
00:06:22.78\00:06:24.66
-I didn't know about that!
00:06:25.06\00:06:26.27
Yes, I had a crushed heel
00:06:26.84\00:06:30.57
I still have an infection,
00:06:33.48\00:06:35.03
which the
infection is getting better,
00:06:35.18\00:06:36.81
the drainage is a
lot less on my foot.
00:06:37.15\00:06:39.66
I still have to get a surgery,
and it's time to get it done
00:06:41.12\00:06:43.78
The doctor will be able to do it
00:06:43.87\00:06:45.75
because
everything is going good.
00:06:46.15\00:06:47.63
It's going to work out.
00:06:47.75\00:06:49.03
I probably was
getting a half of a mile
00:06:50.06\00:06:53.27
when I showed up.
00:06:53.69\00:06:54.66
And through lots of prayers
00:06:55.48\00:06:57.87
and exercises
00:06:58.66\00:06:59.87
I'm up to over 5 miles today.
00:07:01.69\00:07:03.75
-Wow!
00:07:04.00\00:07:05.42
And that's each and every day?
00:07:05.45\00:07:06.66
-Each and every day.
00:07:06.78\00:07:08.06
-Wow. Well Praise God!
00:07:08.18\00:07:10.15
You know He certainly
has answered your prayers.
00:07:10.72\00:07:13.57
-Yes. Maybe I won't even
need to have that surgery.
00:07:13.63\00:07:15.87
-Maybe not.
00:07:16.27\00:07:17.39
I don't know why those
bones healed the way they did,
00:07:18.33\00:07:21.30
but they are healing.
00:07:21.33\00:07:22.63
-You know we have
many people come here
00:07:22.69\00:07:25.36
and things happen -
I call them miracles.
00:07:26.84\00:07:29.03
Because I get to witness
00:07:29.36\00:07:30.60
people going
through these changes,
00:07:30.66\00:07:32.48
where they've been all over the
world trying to get treatments,
00:07:32.78\00:07:36.06
and nobody seems to
be able to help them.
00:07:36.18\00:07:38.09
and lo and behold, they
come here to this place,
00:07:38.27\00:07:40.69
and all of the sudden,
they've feeling better!
00:07:41.12\00:07:43.54
So God's hand is
truly at work here.
00:07:44.69\00:07:47.06
-Yes.
00:07:47.07\00:07:48.04
-There's just no
question about it.
00:07:48.05\00:07:49.66
For about 33 years
now, I guess you know that.
00:07:50.03\00:07:52.72
-Oh yes, yes.
00:07:52.81\00:07:54.21
-Alright, so now
when you go home,
00:07:54.66\00:07:57.78
what are you going
to do when you get home?
00:07:59.15\00:08:00.78
Well...
00:08:02.03\00:08:03.27
Whole plant foods
eaten whole. (laughs)
00:08:04.09\00:08:06.39
That's the number 1
00:08:06.51\00:08:07.72
The exercise.
00:08:09.21\00:08:10.36
I'm going to
continue the exercise
00:08:10.60\00:08:12.57
-Now you're a farmer, right?
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.12
-That's right
00:08:14.24\00:08:15.21
Do you get enough
exercise doing that?
00:08:15.36\00:08:17.42
Oh...not
enjoyable exercise I guess
00:08:17.57\00:08:20.63
-That's work huh? -I
was taught here to take
00:08:20.75\00:08:23.57
a little bit of time
off, take one of the kids
00:08:23.87\00:08:26.51
and walk a
couple miles with them,
00:08:26.72\00:08:28.48
and enjoy the walk.
00:08:29.03\00:08:30.42
But anyway...
00:08:30.75\00:08:32.09
At times there is a
lot of exercise to work
00:08:32.30\00:08:34.72
I won't need to get
any walking. (laughs)
00:08:34.84\00:08:38.66
But yes we do, we
get a lot of exercise.
00:08:38.87\00:08:41.39
Now what about the
family, when you get back there
00:08:41.63\00:08:44.39
and Thanksgiving
comes or Christmas holiday
00:08:44.40\00:08:47.03
and everyone's sitting
around the table with turkey
00:08:47.42\00:08:50.00
and beef and whatever they have,
00:08:50.12\00:08:52.03
what are you going to do?
00:08:52.69\00:08:54.00
Well, we had a phone conference
00:08:54.15\00:08:57.33
we're having Christmas
dinner at my Mother's house
00:08:57.60\00:09:03.00
and we had a phone conference
with Viola and my Mother
00:09:03.42\00:09:06.81
and my Mother was
getting recipes over the phone
00:09:07.06\00:09:09.51
from Viola. (laughs)
00:09:09.66\00:09:10.78
So I think I'm going
to be taken care of there.
00:09:11.09\00:09:13.00
(laughs) -Good!
00:09:13.15\00:09:15.30
Well you know what we
do, we go to my Son's house
00:09:15.57\00:09:17.72
or my daughter's
00:09:17.78\00:09:18.87
and they have all the trimmings
00:09:19.27\00:09:20.45
and whatever else
they're going to eat
00:09:20.46\00:09:21.78
and we just eat the trimmings.
00:09:21.84\00:09:23.12
You know potatoes... -Yes, yes
00:09:24.57\00:09:28.57
Ok, so you've
learned what you need to do
00:09:29.42\00:09:33.15
to change your life.
00:09:33.24\00:09:34.33
And you've learned
that in about 17 days
00:09:34.78\00:09:37.75
-Yes.
00:09:38.03\00:09:39.00
Could you have read
a book and done this?
00:09:39.03\00:09:40.72
-No.
00:09:42.42\00:09:43.45
I've tried it.
00:09:43.57\00:09:45.72
No...you need the push.
00:09:45.78\00:09:49.24
I would call it "the push."
00:09:50.00\00:09:51.87
The atmosphere
00:09:52.18\00:09:53.45
The support, the
atmosphere, the loving people,
00:09:53.63\00:09:58.00
the people that you're
going through this with.
00:09:58.06\00:09:59.66
Listen to their stories...
00:10:00.24\00:10:01.69
We help each other out here.
