Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:00:23.95\00:00:26.23
is NEWSTART Now.
00:00:26.24\00:00:27.53
I'm your host Ron Giannoni,
00:00:27.54\00:00:29.50
and in our studio
today we have Le Fischer.
00:00:29.51\00:00:33.38
Le came to us
about two weeks ago.
00:00:33.39\00:00:36.74
You know a little on a
sick side and I want you
00:00:36.75\00:00:39.35
to see when he first arrived,
00:00:39.36\00:00:41.26
so let's take a
look at that now.
00:00:41.27\00:00:44.65
The reason I came
to the NEWSTART program
00:00:44.66\00:00:46.95
is because of a
little overweight
00:00:46.96\00:00:49.18
and a few other things that
I've needed to take care of.
00:00:49.19\00:00:53.63
And my wife's encouragement
00:00:53.64\00:00:57.19
and she said, she would
go with me in the program and
00:00:57.20\00:01:01.90
that's what helped me out a lot.
00:01:01.91\00:01:03.75
I suffered from
high blood pressure
00:01:03.76\00:01:05.79
and a little obese, and I
needed that taken care of.
00:01:05.80\00:01:10.98
Before I leave here,
I would like to see that
00:01:10.99\00:01:14.50
my blood pressure is
down and it's back to normal.
00:01:14.51\00:01:18.58
And I feel better and
my weight is down to normal
00:01:18.59\00:01:23.18
and just live a happy life
and a longer life afterwards.
00:01:23.19\00:01:28.36
Welcome back
friends, in our studio, Le,
00:01:32.91\00:01:35.61
how are you,
sir? I am pretty good.
00:01:35.62\00:01:37.47
Good to see you.
00:01:37.48\00:01:39.44
So tell us what happened here,
00:01:39.45\00:01:42.37
during our first
interview you seemed
00:01:42.38\00:01:45.18
to be kind of
reserved a little bit about
00:01:45.19\00:01:48.32
what was going on?
00:01:48.33\00:01:49.87
Is there, was there
happening then you admitted?
00:01:49.88\00:01:53.45
Well, I didn't
really know what to expect,
00:01:53.46\00:01:57.25
but surprise,
everyday there were surprises.
00:01:57.26\00:02:01.22
And everyday the
surprises got better and more.
00:02:01.23\00:02:05.76
And I'm doing pretty
good right now. Good.
00:02:05.77\00:02:09.56
So, I think I'm
going to make it.
00:02:09.57\00:02:12.29
You are going to
make it. Yes. All right.
00:02:12.30\00:02:14.39
Well, you mentioned
your high blood pressure
00:02:14.40\00:02:17.46
and before the show you told me,
00:02:17.47\00:02:19.64
it's come down quite a bit.
00:02:19.65\00:02:20.86
Are you off your blood pressure
00:02:20.87\00:02:23.49
medications at this point?
00:02:23.50\00:02:24.54
I was off of it and then,
00:02:24.55\00:02:26.51
we had just a
little bit problem,
00:02:26.52\00:02:28.97
so he put me on
just a little bit of it.
00:02:28.98\00:02:31.00
And we're down
to workable stage.
00:02:31.01\00:02:35.27
So I have to see
the doctor one more time
00:02:35.28\00:02:39.01
and he will give me the okay,
00:02:39.02\00:02:40.41
or whatever or which
way ever I have to go? Yes.
00:02:40.42\00:02:43.12
Now what about the weight?
00:02:43.13\00:02:45.18
How are you
doing with your weight?
00:02:45.19\00:02:46.20
The weight, I
have lost eight pounds
00:02:46.21\00:02:48.27
and I haven't
weighed the third time,
00:02:48.28\00:02:50.49
maybe I'll lose another
kind of couple of pounds
00:02:50.50\00:02:52.67
and that would
make me happy. Good.
00:02:52.68\00:02:55.61
Well, if you don't eat today,
00:02:55.62\00:02:57.96
you might lose that
couple of extra pounds. Yes.
00:02:57.97\00:03:02.20
Just kidding of
course, the last time I went
00:03:02.21\00:03:04.76
down to see the
doctor took three glasses of
00:03:04.77\00:03:07.63
water and he said, you
shouldn't have done that.
00:03:07.64\00:03:10.66
So, I was the same
weight as the last time.
00:03:10.67\00:03:14.49
Now I know that
you're recently married. Yes.
00:03:14.50\00:03:20.28
And you brought this love
of your life with you here.
00:03:20.29\00:03:25.56
In fact, she was on staff
at Weimar for many, many years.
00:03:25.57\00:03:30.53
Yes, I think about ten years.
00:03:30.54\00:03:32.64
About ten years,
and her name is Dorothy.
00:03:32.65\00:03:36.08
Dorothy Potterton Fischer.
00:03:37.04\00:03:38.42
Dorothy Potterton Fischer.
00:03:39.31\00:03:40.61
Some of our
viewers know Dorothy. Yes.
00:03:40.62\00:03:43.67
Now where are
you going from here?
00:03:43.68\00:03:46.92
I know that Dorothy
has inspired you somewhat
00:03:46.93\00:03:50.21
to take on this
lifestyle and you're going to be
00:03:50.22\00:03:54.56
leaving tomorrow
morning and what are you going
00:03:54.57\00:03:57.63
to do after Weimar?
00:03:57.64\00:04:01.13
We're going to try to
keep on track with this
00:04:01.14\00:04:06.06
menu, and exercise
and laughing a little and
00:04:06.07\00:04:11.92
hugging a little
and unpacking a little
00:04:11.93\00:04:15.65
and so on and so forth.
00:04:15.66\00:04:17.14
But we would like to
do our best to get to,
00:04:17.15\00:04:21.94
just back to get my
weight down to normal,
00:04:21.95\00:04:24.07
like it should it be.
00:04:24.08\00:04:25.63
And I'll be happy when
that happens, we can do it.
00:04:25.64\00:04:29.67
Well, it just take persistence.
00:04:29.68\00:04:31.36
Yes, I know you are
going to be inspired
00:04:31.37\00:04:33.74
by your new bride.
00:04:33.75\00:04:35.53
Now, what did you
just think of the program
00:04:35.54\00:04:37.63
here, was it all
that you had imagined?
00:04:37.64\00:04:40.61
I think it was
probably more than I imagined,
00:04:40.62\00:04:45.02
I didn't have any idea,
00:04:45.03\00:04:46.81
that it was going
to be this detailed.
00:04:46.82\00:04:48.25
And the staff, I tell you,
00:04:48.26\00:04:51.46
I can't believe the
staff the way they are.
00:04:51.47\00:04:55.13
We start a situation,
they pray before your start,
00:04:55.14\00:04:59.81
and they're
concerned with your well-being
00:04:59.82\00:05:02.54
and this is really important.
00:05:02.55\00:05:05.29
Did your doctor pray with you?
00:05:05.30\00:05:06.69
Yes, he sure did.
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.54
And your doctor's doctor.
00:05:08.55\00:05:10.35
Lesoda or Lara,
whatever his name is? Lesoda.
00:05:10.38\00:05:14.36
I kind of forget
his name at the moment.
00:05:14.37\00:05:17.91
Okay, there is
Lukens, and DeRose.
00:05:17.92\00:05:21.89
DeRose, I always
get that mixed up.
00:05:21.90\00:05:24.38
That's okay; those Italian names
00:05:24.39\00:05:26.37
sometimes are confusing.
00:05:26.38\00:05:28.25
So Dr. DeRose did
pray with you? Absolutely.
00:05:28.26\00:05:33.37
Did you find that comforting?
00:05:33.38\00:05:35.11
Absolutely, that's
very comforting, you know,
00:05:35.12\00:05:37.44
to see a guy that's concerned
00:05:37.45\00:05:40.81
with your health,
concerned with you as a person
00:05:40.82\00:05:44.16
and this is what counts?
00:05:44.17\00:05:45.42
You don't find
that in ordinary doctors
00:05:45.43\00:05:49.67
and this is
what's exciting about.
00:05:49.68\00:05:51.31
Did you spend a lot
of time with Dr. DeRose?
00:05:51.32\00:05:53.80
Yes, I think the first
time was just about an hour.
00:05:53.81\00:05:56.57
An hour with the doctor?
00:05:56.58\00:05:58.45
Yes, and the second time,
00:05:58.46\00:05:59.61
other doctors take
about five minutes.
00:05:59.64\00:06:01.81
You mean,
doctors on the outside.
00:06:01.82\00:06:04.80
On the outside, yeah. Yeah.
00:06:04.81\00:06:06.50
And I was, I says, boy,
he is thorough, that man.
00:06:06.51\00:06:10.77
Yes, he is very, very thorough.
00:06:10.78\00:06:13.63
In fact, I remember
when I came to the program,
00:06:13.64\00:06:16.35
Dr. Ulich was my
doctor, it was hard for me to
00:06:16.36\00:06:20.55
believe that he
not only greeted me,
00:06:20.56\00:06:23.21
he prayed with me and
we spent an hour together
00:06:23.22\00:06:25.70
and then we went for a
walk and I was like wow!
00:06:25.71\00:06:29.03
I've never had this kind
of service from a doctor.
00:06:29.04\00:06:31.23
So, I'm glad you
had that experience.
00:06:31.24\00:06:34.20
I did have and I
appreciate it a whole
00:06:34.21\00:06:36.53
lot and I thank the
Lord that I could be here.
00:06:36.54\00:06:40.21
Yeah. Very much.
00:06:40.22\00:06:41.52
Le, what about the food?
00:06:41.53\00:06:42.87
Did you enjoy the food here?
00:06:42.88\00:06:45.14
Well, I was a little
pessimistic at first,
00:06:45.15\00:06:47.70
but you know, I
like it, it's good food.
00:06:47.71\00:06:50.68
I have no question about it.
00:06:50.69\00:06:53.11
I was thankful that
my wife has pretty much
00:06:53.12\00:06:55.97
cooked that way
in the first place.
00:06:55.98\00:06:57.33
So I had a little
ahead of rest of them.
00:06:57.34\00:07:00.65
Yes, and the hydro treatments?
00:07:00.66\00:07:03.64
Oh man, they were wonderful;
00:07:03.65\00:07:05.10
I wanted to stay
there the whole day.
00:07:05.11\00:07:08.82
Now who's your therapist there?
00:07:08.83\00:07:13.20
I don't remember his, Brandon,
00:07:13.21\00:07:15.80
Bradley or
whatever his name was?
00:07:15.81\00:07:17.66
The little African American boy,
00:07:17.67\00:07:20.41
he was a fine guy.
00:07:20.42\00:07:21.70
And he prayed before he
start give me a rub down,
00:07:21.71\00:07:25.09
I couldn't believe it,
00:07:25.10\00:07:26.27
it's amazing. And
after the rub down,
00:07:26.28\00:07:27.75
did you get hot
and cold showers?
00:07:27.76\00:07:29.68
Oh we got that beforehand.
00:07:29.69\00:07:30.99
Oh beforehand.
00:07:31.00\00:07:31.97
And then we got the rub down.
00:07:31.98\00:07:33.16
That's good. Yes.
00:07:33.17\00:07:35.19
So, that was a good experience.
00:07:35.20\00:07:36.84
Very good experience,
00:07:36.85\00:07:38.23
I wish they had one
built in at my house.
00:07:38.24\00:07:41.24
Did you get to visit
with the chaplain? Yes.
00:07:41.25\00:07:44.84
And how was your experience.
00:07:44.85\00:07:46.10
Fine, fine lady,
very fine person.
00:07:46.11\00:07:49.34
Viola. Viola, yes. Wonderful.
00:07:49.35\00:07:52.44
I really
appreciated that spiritual,
00:07:52.45\00:07:55.92
she is a very
spiritual lady. Yes.
00:07:55.93\00:07:58.22
Thankful for that.
00:07:58.23\00:07:59.24
And how about the
exercise therapist
00:07:59.25\00:08:02.69
and the dietician?
00:08:02.70\00:08:03.75
We keep going here,
we got a lot of people
00:08:03.76\00:08:05.95
to talk about.
00:08:05.96\00:08:06.93
Oh man, the
dietician, she was great
00:08:06.94\00:08:11.32
and we learned a
lot, we had food classes,
00:08:11.33\00:08:16.19
she made us
start up some recipes
00:08:16.20\00:08:18.51
and they even tasted
good after we got done.
00:08:18.52\00:08:21.69
And you fix them yourself?
00:08:21.70\00:08:22.69
Yeah, this is
what's great, you know.
00:08:22.70\00:08:25.84
They handed us a
nice recipe book,
00:08:25.85\00:08:28.19
so we can use them
when we get out of here.
00:08:28.20\00:08:30.64
And I think
that'll be a good deal,
00:08:30.65\00:08:34.43
a guide line to show
us what we can use when we
00:08:34.44\00:08:38.34
get home to sustain our
lifestyle the way we should.
00:08:38.35\00:08:42.76
And your exercise
therapist, Rich Smith,
00:08:42.77\00:08:46.91
did you get some
time to visit with him?
00:08:46.92\00:08:49.32
Yes, about three times.
00:08:49.33\00:08:51.13
Yes, did he put
you on a schedule?
00:08:51.14\00:08:53.68
He put me on a
schedule, he said,
00:08:53.69\00:08:56.00
if we can get
about three hours a day
00:08:56.01\00:08:58.49
of exercise you'll be in
good shape and I've been.
00:08:58.50\00:09:01.83
Three hours a
day? Three miles a day.
00:09:01.84\00:09:04.89
Oh, three miles.
Yes, three miles a day.
00:09:04.90\00:09:07.50
We don't want to scare them now.
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.19
Three hours a day, wow.
00:09:10.20\00:09:12.04
About three miles a
day, that's some other people
00:09:12.05\00:09:16.56
had been going more than that.
00:09:16.57\00:09:17.60
But, I tried to get it
right around three miles a day.
00:09:17.61\00:09:21.03
And that works out
pretty good for me.
00:09:21.04\00:09:23.67
Le, would you
tell your age? I am 78.
00:09:23.68\00:09:26.59
You're 78 years old. Yes.
00:09:26.60\00:09:29.09
And you're still
pumping and going.
00:09:29.10\00:09:31.96
I am going to be
here when I'm 98.
00:09:31.97\00:09:34.22
Good, we're looking
forward to your next visit. Yes.
00:09:34.23\00:09:39.27
Is there anything
you would to say to
00:09:39.28\00:09:41.37
our viewers that you
want to share from your heart
00:09:41.38\00:09:44.64
about your experience here?
00:09:44.65\00:09:47.06
I say that any person
that has the opportunity
00:09:47.07\00:09:50.90
to come here, he
should take the advantage,
00:09:50.91\00:09:53.76
because it makes a wonderful
difference in your life.
00:09:53.77\00:09:57.16
And I think, I'm
going to pass out all these
00:09:57.17\00:10:00.97
little fliers they have,
to get them to come here.
00:10:00.98\00:10:04.01
Because there are
some people I know,
00:10:04.02\00:10:06.48
that should be
coming here too. Yeah.
00:10:06.49\00:10:09.07
And I'm going to be pretty,
00:10:09.08\00:10:12.27
quite avid about that.
00:10:12.28\00:10:13.39
Well, Le, we want to thank you
00:10:13.40\00:10:15.36
for coming into our studio.
00:10:15.37\00:10:17.21
Thank you for being
here and your testimony.
00:10:17.22\00:10:19.53

Hi, friends, and
welcome back in our studio.
00:11:33.96\00:11:36.56
Dr. David DeRose,
how are you doctor?
00:11:36.57\00:11:38.87
I'm doing well,
Ron, good to be here.
00:11:38.88\00:11:40.56
Okay, I want to get
really excited now about Le,
00:11:40.57\00:11:43.11
because he is going
through a lot changes,
00:11:43.12\00:11:46.74
some of which he may
not even be aware of.
00:11:46.75\00:11:49.51
But I just see a different guy.
00:11:49.52\00:11:51.45
I mean, he is
powerful, I mean Le's numbers
00:11:51.46\00:11:53.55
are dramatically
improve, I mean like he shared
00:11:53.56\00:11:55.75
blood pressure
better, weight down.
00:11:55.76\00:11:57.67
He is really is
a different person,
00:11:57.68\00:11:59.64
and I mean, you
may look at films,
00:11:59.65\00:12:01.53
you say he looks pretty similar,
00:12:01.54\00:12:03.27
but just like you
picked up in real life, Ron,
00:12:03.28\00:12:06.36
he is really a changed man.
00:12:06.37\00:12:08.09
Yes, and why are these changes?
00:12:08.10\00:12:11.26
I know I've
asked you this before,
00:12:11.27\00:12:12.76
but it just does
my heart good to see
00:12:12.77\00:12:17.10
people, 78 year
old men who are obese
00:12:17.11\00:12:20.91
and have some problems,
00:12:20.92\00:12:22.54
they come here and we
help them get on track.
00:12:22.55\00:12:25.80
What do you do as a physician?
00:12:25.81\00:12:27.72
I know that they're
eating all these other
00:12:27.73\00:12:29.68
things, but what do
you do to help that?
00:12:29.69\00:12:31.96
Well, I mean, the
privilege we have is,
00:12:31.97\00:12:33.85
God has given us the
opportunity of working
00:12:33.86\00:12:36.19
with people, of bodies
that are very resilient.
00:12:36.20\00:12:39.00
And the Lord is
the great healer.
00:12:39.01\00:12:41.39
Our job is really
to help our patients
00:12:41.40\00:12:44.44
connect with a great physician.
00:12:44.45\00:12:45.97
And really incorporate
these simple principles,
00:12:45.98\00:12:50.08
diet, exercise, trust
in God, hydro therapy.
00:12:50.09\00:12:54.35
And a lot of people say, well,
00:12:54.36\00:12:55.43
how can such simple
things make a big difference.
00:12:55.44\00:12:57.66
But we see it
time and time again,
00:12:57.67\00:13:00.28
people getting
off of medications,
00:13:00.29\00:13:02.24
decreasing
medications, cholesterol,
00:13:02.25\00:13:04.37
blood pressure,
weight, whatever the issues are
00:13:04.38\00:13:07.79
lifestyle just has
this profound effect.
00:13:07.80\00:13:10.44
It's not a panacea but it
can make a huge difference.
00:13:10.45\00:13:13.69
Now, do you think that any one
00:13:13.70\00:13:15.51
of the principles that we
use at the NEWSTART program,
00:13:15.52\00:13:20.90
do you think that
we can eliminate one
00:13:20.91\00:13:23.16
and have the same results?
00:13:23.17\00:13:25.98
Well I mean, of
course, the elements
00:13:25.99\00:13:28.57
we use in the
program, we use because
00:13:28.58\00:13:30.99
we believe their efficacious,
their scientific data that
00:13:31.00\00:13:35.19
shows they are powerful.
00:13:35.20\00:13:36.42
But on any
individual basis, I mean,
00:13:36.43\00:13:38.99
it can vary, I mean,
we have people sometimes
00:13:39.00\00:13:40.85
that come through
who can really do very
00:13:40.86\00:13:43.12
little exercise,
may be they, you know,
00:13:43.13\00:13:46.16
have lost limbs,
maybe they have serious
00:13:46.17\00:13:48.42
cardiac
conditions where they really
00:13:48.43\00:13:50.44
can't do much physically.
00:13:50.45\00:13:51.76
Well they're not
going to be doing; you know,
00:13:51.77\00:13:54.18
they're not going to
be walking three to five
00:13:54.19\00:13:55.58
miles a day, like many
of the other patients would.
00:13:55.59\00:13:58.30
But it doesn't mean
that exercise still isn't
00:13:58.31\00:14:00.94
powerful for them, even
though it's a relatively
00:14:00.95\00:14:03.13
smaller
component in there program.
00:14:03.14\00:14:05.58
We had an interview
earlier with another
00:14:05.59\00:14:08.06
gentleman, who came
here in a wheelchair,
00:14:08.07\00:14:10.86
and now he is
walking like a mile per day
00:14:10.87\00:14:13.96
and I think you know him.
00:14:13.97\00:14:15.02
But back to this gentleman here,
00:14:15.03\00:14:18.13
how is it that you're
able to in such a short time,
00:14:18.14\00:14:23.33
this always amazes me,
00:14:23.34\00:14:25.65
you see this man
for the first time.
00:14:25.66\00:14:28.18
You do a diagnosis
of physical if you will,
00:14:28.19\00:14:31.57
you do treadmills, blood draws
00:14:31.58\00:14:33.75
and those types of things.
00:14:33.76\00:14:34.77
And you come up very
quickly with a solution
00:14:34.78\00:14:39.20
for that problem.
00:14:39.21\00:14:40.50
It's almost like okay,
here is the steps, one,
00:14:40.51\00:14:44.12
two, three,
four, five, six, seven,
00:14:44.13\00:14:45.34
eight follow these and
you're going to be okay,
00:14:45.35\00:14:48.14
is it that simple?
00:14:48.15\00:14:49.59
Well it's really
not, part of the challenge
00:14:49.60\00:14:52.57
with diagnosis is
sometimes people do come
00:14:52.58\00:14:56.11
with problems that
are not all that clear,
00:14:56.12\00:14:58.42
they may not have
been diagnosed by their
00:14:58.43\00:15:00.36
primary care doctor or
even multiple specialists.
00:15:00.37\00:15:03.66
The thing we do
know is that lifestyle
00:15:03.67\00:15:06.48
is extremely powerful.
00:15:06.49\00:15:07.77
So if someone
comes with five problems,
00:15:07.78\00:15:09.86
maybe they've got
coronary artery disease,
00:15:09.87\00:15:12.32
maybe they've got arthritis,
00:15:12.33\00:15:13.49
maybe they've got
high blood pressure,
00:15:13.50\00:15:14.98
maybe weight
problems, maybe diabetes.
00:15:14.99\00:15:16.57
We do have a
number of known diagnoses
00:15:16.58\00:15:19.16
we are dealing with,
but maybe they've got some
00:15:19.17\00:15:20.92
muscular skeletal pain
that has not been diagnosed.
00:15:20.93\00:15:24.58
Well, we don't have to say,
00:15:24.59\00:15:26.18
well because we
don't know exactly
00:15:26.19\00:15:28.61
what's causing this
pain, whether it's nerve
00:15:28.62\00:15:31.18
impingement,
something pushing on a nerve,
00:15:31.19\00:15:33.14
whether it's Fibromyalgia,
00:15:33.15\00:15:35.33
whether it's a
Rheumatologic condition.
00:15:35.34\00:15:37.82
We don't have to
put everything on hold
00:15:37.83\00:15:40.01
to deal with the
diagnoses that has been somewhat
00:15:40.02\00:15:44.78
illusive, we could
say look at the program
00:15:44.79\00:15:48.06
we've got here,
we're going to tell our
00:15:48.07\00:15:49.17
program for all the things
we know you are dealing with?
00:15:49.18\00:15:51.58
And when I'm looking at
what to do for blood pressure?
00:15:51.59\00:15:55.23
What to do for cholesterol?
00:15:55.24\00:15:56.32
I'm looking at
specific lifestyle things,
00:15:56.33\00:15:58.21
I'm thinking at
the back of my mind,
00:15:58.22\00:15:59.71
which things may
also have some additive
00:15:59.72\00:16:02.74
benefits as far as
muscular skeletal conditions.
00:16:02.75\00:16:05.65
So for example
someone with a lot of muscle
00:16:05.66\00:16:07.49
spasm, we may have them getting
00:16:07.50\00:16:09.44
some additional magnesium.
00:16:09.45\00:16:10.80
Because magnesium has
muscle relaxing effects
00:16:10.81\00:16:13.21
as well as blood
pressure lowering
00:16:13.22\00:16:14.86
effects and heart
rhythm stabilizing effects.
00:16:14.87\00:16:17.01
So as we're looking
at natural therapies,
00:16:17.02\00:16:20.13
we're thinking
about some things that may
00:16:20.14\00:16:22.12
have synergistic or
additional benefits that
00:16:22.13\00:16:25.69
could help maybe even
some of those conditions
00:16:25.70\00:16:27.34
that have been somewhat elusive.
00:16:27.35\00:16:28.96
So somewhere in that answer,
00:16:28.97\00:16:30.54
I heard that you're
directing your attention
00:16:30.55\00:16:34.99
to the obvious
problems, other things that may
00:16:35.00\00:16:38.35
even be there just kind
of fall away as a result
00:16:38.36\00:16:42.66
of this lifestyle.
00:16:42.67\00:16:43.84
Now it's exactly right,
sometimes we actually do
00:16:43.85\00:16:46.37
make a diagnosis
here that doctors have not
00:16:46.38\00:16:49.83
made in an
individual before they've come.
00:16:49.84\00:16:51.95
But we're not
really a diagnostic center,
00:16:51.96\00:16:54.61
we don't have all the
high-tech lab equipment
00:16:54.62\00:16:57.29
and stuff, we
don't have CAT scans
00:16:57.30\00:17:00.34
and MRI's and PET scans.
00:17:00.35\00:17:02.21
We do stress
tests, we do blood work,
00:17:02.22\00:17:04.85
but sometimes we
will make diagnoses
00:17:04.86\00:17:08.13
with the Lord's blessing.
00:17:08.14\00:17:09.11
Because we spend
time with people that they
00:17:09.12\00:17:10.98
often haven't had.
00:17:10.99\00:17:12.38
We spent an hour
with the patient,
00:17:12.39\00:17:14.66
taking a careful history,
00:17:14.67\00:17:16.13
doing a careful exam.
00:17:16.14\00:17:17.86
That's a luxury that a
lot of physicians don't have.
00:17:17.87\00:17:20.62
They're in these
big group practices
00:17:20.63\00:17:22.20
and they just have to
move the people in and out.
00:17:22.21\00:17:24.10
And they really
don't have an opportunity
00:17:24.11\00:17:25.95
to connect all the
dots, because they don't know
00:17:25.96\00:17:27.79
what all the dots are?
00:17:27.80\00:17:28.77
They didn't have a
chance really to spend
00:17:28.78\00:17:30.25
that time with the patient.
00:17:30.26\00:17:31.28
Right, now doctor, before I came
00:17:31.29\00:17:33.23
to the NEWSTART
program here at Weimar,
00:17:33.24\00:17:36.74
I would call my
doctor, say ten years ago.
00:17:36.75\00:17:40.26
And I can never reach my doctor,
00:17:40.27\00:17:42.56
and sometimes I would
even get them to return a call.
00:17:42.57\00:17:45.96
Well, it was rare and
usually the nurse would do that.
00:17:45.97\00:17:49.74
When people come
through the NEWSTART program
00:17:49.75\00:17:52.15
and perhaps they
leave the program,
00:17:52.16\00:17:54.95
the first few weeks,
they're all pumped up,
00:17:54.96\00:17:57.08
and they're happy and
everything is going well
00:17:57.09\00:17:59.46
and they start to
slide a little bit.
00:17:59.47\00:18:01.79
Are you
available for phone calls?
00:18:01.80\00:18:04.93
And do you in fact
get calls from guests
00:18:04.94\00:18:08.38
who have been here?
00:18:08.39\00:18:09.42
For sure, we would like everyone
00:18:09.43\00:18:10.40
to know that we are available.
00:18:10.41\00:18:11.57
And it does depend
on our schedule too.
00:18:11.58\00:18:14.65
I encourage my
patients whenever I remember,
00:18:14.66\00:18:17.15
I say, look at
you're not just my patient,
00:18:17.16\00:18:19.13
you're my friend and
I always tell my friends
00:18:19.14\00:18:21.79
keep bothering me.
00:18:21.80\00:18:22.86
If you call and you
don't hear back from me
00:18:22.87\00:18:24.95
at a reasonable
time, call back again.
00:18:24.96\00:18:26.70
Because, yeah,
honestly sometimes I get a stack
00:18:26.71\00:18:29.63
of calls that I get
back with they're not just
00:18:29.64\00:18:32.52
patients and I can
think of right now,
00:18:32.53\00:18:34.57
they're several people
I have been trying to get
00:18:34.58\00:18:36.14
a hold of for several weeks.
00:18:36.15\00:18:37.35
I will call and leave a message,
00:18:37.36\00:18:39.11
and they won't be
there, they will call me.
00:18:39.12\00:18:41.04
So other people, you know,
00:18:41.05\00:18:43.08
their answering
machine is filled up,
00:18:43.09\00:18:44.75
and dealing with the
person like that, right now.
00:18:44.76\00:18:47.59
So yes, we are
available but at the same time,
00:18:47.60\00:18:51.37
you know, it's not just
like a country club here
00:18:51.38\00:18:53.95
where we're just
sitting around with our feet up,
00:18:53.96\00:18:55.59
you know, wondering
what we can do next.
00:18:55.60\00:18:58.67
I understand, what
about folks out there,
00:18:58.68\00:19:03.94
our viewers, right now.
00:19:03.95\00:19:06.49
I can almost hear them asking,
00:19:06.50\00:19:08.15
there is perhaps
thousands watching
00:19:08.16\00:19:11.79
that they would like
to ask you questions.
00:19:11.80\00:19:14.44
What are some of the
typical questions that
00:19:14.45\00:19:17.53
our guests ask here,
that maybe the answer
00:19:17.54\00:19:20.97
to would benefit
our benefit our viewers.
00:19:20.98\00:19:23.52
Well, I think one
of the things, Ron,
00:19:23.53\00:19:25.45
that many people
wonder about and you maybe
00:19:25.46\00:19:27.62
wondering as you tune in today?
00:19:27.63\00:19:29.33
Is about cholesterol,
it's a common one that
00:19:29.34\00:19:31.38
comes up and most
people today feel like they've
00:19:31.39\00:19:34.73
got to be on medications
for the high cholesterol.
00:19:34.74\00:19:37.27
But Ron, the
amazing thing is what we see
00:19:37.28\00:19:39.57
time and time again here is,
00:19:39.58\00:19:41.38
people can show
dramatic drops in lipids
00:19:41.39\00:19:44.12
when they come here.
00:19:44.13\00:19:45.10
I'm, I think you have a patient,
00:19:45.11\00:19:46.08
who's here right now.
00:19:46.09\00:19:48.00
He dropped his cholesterol
00:19:48.01\00:19:49.32
like a 100 points
in two weeks. Wow.
00:19:49.33\00:19:51.68
His triglycerides
have dropped 250 points,
00:19:51.69\00:19:54.15
my physician
friends who maybe tuning in,
00:19:54.16\00:19:57.08
I will say, well he is
obviously had high numbers.
00:19:57.09\00:19:58.55
Yes, cholesterol is around 300
00:19:58.56\00:20:00.22
and his
triglycerides were over 500.
00:20:00.23\00:20:02.62
But this is just
two weeks, and I mean,
00:20:02.63\00:20:04.29
he hasn't seen the full benefits
00:20:04.30\00:20:05.80
of the lifestyle change.
00:20:05.81\00:20:07.28
So the message is
even though drug medication
00:20:07.29\00:20:11.82
can be powerful
for blood pressure,
00:20:11.83\00:20:13.51
for cholesterol, for diabetes.
00:20:13.52\00:20:15.10
Lifestyle is
extremely powerful and I always
00:20:15.11\00:20:18.11
liked people to remember
the diabetes prevention program.
00:20:18.12\00:20:21.01
There was a study
done some years ago.
00:20:21.02\00:20:23.09
Where they found
people with prediabetes,
00:20:23.10\00:20:25.45
they were actually
better able to turn back
00:20:25.46\00:20:27.74
the clock on
diabetes and not develop
00:20:27.75\00:20:29.79
the disease by
lifestyle, then they were
00:20:29.80\00:20:32.53
the strongest
drug that they used
00:20:32.54\00:20:35.44
in that medication study.
00:20:35.45\00:20:37.34
That's interesting,
is there any final word
00:20:37.35\00:20:40.39
we have a few seconds left
00:20:40.40\00:20:41.98
that you can
give to our viewers?
00:20:41.99\00:20:43.83
I would just like to say,
00:20:43.84\00:20:45.21
it's never
hopeless, there is always hope
00:20:45.22\00:20:47.19
and even if things are
looking very dim for you
00:20:47.20\00:20:49.52
as far as whatever lifestyles
as you're dealing with?
00:20:49.53\00:20:52.50
God's natural
remedies are powerful,
00:20:52.51\00:20:55.07
we stand ready here
at Weimar to help you,
00:20:55.08\00:20:57.23
and even if you
can never come here in
00:20:57.24\00:20:59.10
person, give a
call to our 800 number.
00:20:59.11\00:21:01.68
And we are happy try to do
what we can over the phone.
00:21:01.69\00:21:04.05
Doctor, thank you
so much for joining us,
00:21:04.06\00:21:06.74
God bless you.
00:21:06.75\00:21:07.72
Great to be with you, Ron.
00:21:07.73\00:21:08.70
And friends, thank
you for joining us,
00:21:08.71\00:21:10.66
but don't go away, we
have a tip for you right now.
00:21:10.67\00:21:13.16
Hello, I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:21:14.60\00:21:16.70
You know, helping a friend,
00:21:16.71\00:21:18.44
neighbor or
relative have better health
00:21:18.45\00:21:20.62
is one of the
most practical forms
00:21:20.63\00:21:22.39
of health ministry available.
00:21:22.40\00:21:24.01
However, if you are
not a health professional,
00:21:24.02\00:21:26.13
it can be
extremely difficult to know
00:21:26.14\00:21:28.32
how to help someone
access, reliable, credible,
00:21:28.33\00:21:31.22
up to date health information.
00:21:31.23\00:21:34.08
That's why I
recommend the NEWSTART Lifestyle
00:21:34.09\00:21:36.61
Club; the club is
based on a world's famous
00:21:36.62\00:21:39.17
NEWSTART principles
that have helped millions be
00:21:39.18\00:21:41.70
well naturally
without the use of drugs.
00:21:41.71\00:21:44.37
The club offers streaming video,
00:21:44.38\00:21:45.99
expert health advice,
00:21:46.00\00:21:47.28
and wellness
tips, tools and more.
00:21:47.29\00:21:49.71
And when it comes to ministry,
00:21:49.72\00:21:51.19
the NEWSTART
Lifestyle Club provides a way
00:21:51.20\00:21:53.47
for sponsored churches
and health organizations
00:21:53.48\00:21:56.02
to connect with club members
in their own communities.
00:21:56.03\00:22:00.16
If you would like to
learn more about how the
00:22:00.17\00:22:01.56

Hello, and welcome
to NEWSTART at home,
00:22:30.91\00:22:32.49
I'm your host Don Mackintosh,
00:22:32.50\00:22:34.22
and today we have in
the studio with us Dr. Doug
00:22:34.23\00:22:36.94
Plata, welcome
doctor. Thank you.
00:22:36.95\00:22:40.01
You are a
specialist in family medicine,
00:22:40.02\00:22:43.33
but also preventive
medicine. That's correct.
00:22:43.34\00:22:45.42
And one of things
we've been talking about is
00:22:45.43\00:22:48.89
the lack of
hydration people have,
00:22:48.90\00:22:52.50
they're not drinking
a lot of water or maybe
00:22:52.51\00:22:54.46
some people drank too much,
00:22:54.47\00:22:55.70
but we want to
about water today,
00:22:55.71\00:22:57.49
how important it is?
00:22:57.50\00:22:58.47
It's extremely important,
00:22:58.48\00:23:00.07
there is studies
showing that for heart health
00:23:00.08\00:23:03.52
it's actually about
as important as many
00:23:03.53\00:23:06.08
of the other common treatments
00:23:06.09\00:23:07.67
that we have for heart disease.
00:23:07.68\00:23:10.07
By making sure you
get adequate amount versus
00:23:10.08\00:23:13.90
those people who are
in low in the difference,
00:23:13.91\00:23:15.85
need is about 50% reduction
and risk of heart attack.
00:23:15.86\00:23:21.34
And that's probably
because the blood gets
00:23:21.35\00:23:23.83
more viscous and more
sticky and maybe causes
00:23:23.84\00:23:26.21
the coronary events.
00:23:26.22\00:23:27.23
We're not entirely
sure, but that's probably
00:23:27.24\00:23:29.28
at least part of the reason.
00:23:29.29\00:23:30.61
I'm guessing
there's probably more parts,
00:23:30.62\00:23:32.28
more to reasons. Okay.
00:23:32.29\00:23:33.42
So what kind of
water should we drink,
00:23:33.43\00:23:36.64
just tap water, distilled water.
00:23:36.65\00:23:38.33
I mean, there is
all of kinds of exotic.
00:23:38.34\00:23:40.13
I go to the
store and I can spend,
00:23:40.14\00:23:41.21
I can see a
bottle that, you know,
00:23:41.22\00:23:42.93
cost me a $1.72 or I
don't know, you know,
00:23:42.94\00:23:46.50
a buck, and then I
can find this exotic water
00:23:46.51\00:23:48.53
that's, you know,
I'm not saying 10 bucks.
00:23:48.54\00:23:50.84
But there is a big
vast variation and they all
00:23:50.85\00:23:53.91
have different labels and stuff,
00:23:53.92\00:23:55.18
how do I navigate that?
00:23:55.19\00:23:56.16
The first thing
that I like to point out
00:23:56.17\00:23:58.40
is regardless of
the type of the water,
00:23:58.41\00:24:00.13
getting enough water
that's the number one
00:24:00.14\00:24:02.01
message, first and foremost.
00:24:02.02\00:24:03.35
When it comes to the
type of water there have
00:24:03.36\00:24:06.62
been a number of
different studies done on this.
00:24:06.63\00:24:10.61
And again, make
sure you get water.
00:24:10.62\00:24:15.38
The, probably one of
the more unhealthy forms
00:24:15.39\00:24:18.15
of water is
actually distilled water.
00:24:18.16\00:24:20.23
I know this is going
to come as a surprise
00:24:20.24\00:24:22.51
and perhaps concern
to some of the listeners.
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.66
But what distilled
water does is it separates out
00:24:25.67\00:24:28.72
the minerals from
the water and what we're
00:24:28.73\00:24:31.43
finding now is those
minerals are there for
00:24:31.44\00:24:33.27
a reason in
particular cardiac health.
00:24:33.28\00:24:36.15
So tap water is
good then after all.
00:24:36.16\00:24:39.23
Depends on the local
environment in terms,
00:24:39.24\00:24:42.24
like if there's
chemicals in there.
00:24:42.25\00:24:43.99
I think many of us
have chosen to go with water
00:24:44.00\00:24:47.18
that's like from a
stream source, you know,
00:24:47.19\00:24:49.09
mountain water.
00:24:49.10\00:24:50.21
And then what about
filtered with charcoal?
00:24:50.22\00:24:52.39
It's probably better,
because it does take out
00:24:52.40\00:24:56.69
some of the chlorine and
some of the other substances.
00:24:56.70\00:24:59.92
Okay, so how much
water should I drink,
00:24:59.93\00:25:04.02
I always hear this
six to eight glasses,
00:25:04.03\00:25:06.43
is that valid
or how do you tell?
00:25:06.44\00:25:09.15
The problem is that
people come in different
00:25:09.16\00:25:12.03
sizes, they have different needs
00:25:12.04\00:25:13.89
and if it's a hot day
versus if you're exercising.
00:25:13.90\00:25:16.37
It's, you know, six
to eight glasses is maybe
00:25:16.38\00:25:19.33
a good rule of thumb.
00:25:19.34\00:25:20.31
But I think, far
better is to actually sort
00:25:20.32\00:25:23.38
of let your urine
actually be the guide in terms
00:25:23.39\00:25:27.18
of how much that you should get.
00:25:27.19\00:25:28.54
So my urine
being the guide. Yes.
00:25:28.55\00:25:31.61
Somewhat of an interesting...
00:25:31.62\00:25:33.30
never thought of being
led around about my urine.
00:25:33.31\00:25:35.19
But, what you do mean by this?
00:25:35.20\00:25:36.51
What do you mean
by urine being guide?
00:25:36.52\00:25:38.81
Yeah, as we pee in the toilet,
00:25:38.82\00:25:41.25
as you take a look at the color
00:25:41.26\00:25:42.60
of your urine in the toilet.
00:25:42.61\00:25:44.91
It's pretty straight forward,
00:25:44.92\00:25:46.45
but something that
we need to really pay
00:25:46.46\00:25:48.01
attention to it and if
it's really dark yellow
00:25:48.02\00:25:50.06
or not getting enough water,
00:25:50.07\00:25:53.01
if it's clear then we knows,
00:25:53.02\00:25:54.81
we're doing a good job.
00:25:54.82\00:25:55.79
So it should be as
close to clear as possible.
00:25:55.80\00:25:57.97
Really that's true, that's true.
00:25:57.98\00:25:59.79
And if you're seeing
that it's not, then you to...
00:25:59.80\00:26:02.20
I need to drink,
you know, two, three,
00:26:02.21\00:26:04.45
four more glasses.
00:26:04.46\00:26:05.43
Get more water, but
the problem is that urine
00:26:05.44\00:26:06.87
comes at the end.
00:26:06.88\00:26:08.79
In other words,
it's what you should have
00:26:08.80\00:26:10.04
been doing before?
00:26:10.05\00:26:11.02
So how can you make sure
that you're getting enough?
00:26:11.03\00:26:13.22
What you can do
is you can use urine
00:26:13.23\00:26:14.88
as a general
guide, you say oh boy,
00:26:14.89\00:26:16.91
I'm just it's a reminder,
00:26:16.92\00:26:18.27
I'm not getting enough water,
00:26:18.28\00:26:19.31
so I need to do
things to be able help get
00:26:19.32\00:26:22.64
enough water as
evidenced by clear urine.
00:26:22.65\00:26:25.68
Okay, so I get my water bottle,
00:26:25.69\00:26:28.22
can the water be
damaged at all by being
00:26:28.23\00:26:30.53
in the sun and
in a plastic bottle;
00:26:30.54\00:26:32.09
is there anything
that... tell us about that?
00:26:32.10\00:26:34.76
Yeah, there are
significant concerns
00:26:34.77\00:26:36.23
about certain
substances within plastics,
00:26:36.27\00:26:39.98
the harder the
plastic the better.
00:26:39.99\00:26:41.52
For me, actually, I
got a stainless steel
00:26:41.53\00:26:44.55
container or a glass
container is probably,
00:26:44.56\00:26:49.14
you know, safer ways to store.
00:26:49.15\00:26:51.85
And if you have it in the sun,
00:26:51.86\00:26:54.55
if it's in a plastic bottle,
00:26:54.56\00:26:56.16
that's probably not good.
00:26:56.19\00:26:57.16
There are certain
chemicals that can sort
00:26:57.17\00:26:58.42
of leech into the
water, but if it's in glass or
00:26:58.43\00:27:00.83
you know
something that's not going
00:27:00.84\00:27:02.87
to leech out that's better.
00:27:02.88\00:27:03.99
So the most important
thing is get water. Yes.
00:27:04.00\00:27:06.53
And get enough water
based on six to eight
00:27:06.54\00:27:09.62
glasses is rule of the thumb,
00:27:09.63\00:27:10.73
but really look at urine
to see if it's clear or not.
00:27:10.74\00:27:13.31
Make sure you're
getting the best kind of water
00:27:13.32\00:27:16.76
in terms of the container.
00:27:16.77\00:27:19.32
So that you don't
have an interaction.
00:27:19.33\00:27:20.82
But the real bottom line is,
00:27:20.83\00:27:22.83
makes sure and get water,
00:27:22.84\00:27:23.99
you really need
water. That's right.
00:27:24.00\00:27:25.02
It's really hard to overdo it.
00:27:25.03\00:27:26.36
Put it on your
desk, have it with you or
00:27:26.39\00:27:28.17
carry it, whatever you can do.
00:27:28.18\00:27:29.79
