Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:00:23.91\00:00:26.39
of NEWSTART Now.
00:00:26.40\00:00:28.16
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:00:28.17\00:00:30.79
We have in our
studio, Sharon Howlett.
00:00:30.80\00:00:34.15
And Sharon, while she arrived
here a couple of weeks ago
00:00:34.16\00:00:37.76
and I'd like to
take a look at that clip
00:00:37.77\00:00:39.97
when she first arrived.
00:00:39.98\00:00:42.11
I had 7 horses at the time
00:00:42.12\00:00:46.33
and as I was taking
care of them one morning
00:00:46.34\00:00:48.17
and I started having chest pain.
00:00:48.18\00:00:50.17
So I went to the hospital
and they did a balloon cath,
00:00:50.18\00:00:54.42
found out that I had
to have a stent put in.
00:00:54.43\00:00:57.24
And after that, two weeks later
00:00:57.25\00:01:01.44
I'll start
having chest pain again
00:01:01.45\00:01:03.08
and had to put another stent in.
00:01:03.09\00:01:05.42
And I have another
artery going off to the side
00:01:05.43\00:01:08.09
that I still have pain,
00:01:08.10\00:01:09.07
and they can't do about
unless there's bypass surgery
00:01:09.08\00:01:12.58
I used to bell race.
00:01:12.59\00:01:14.44
In fact, I did it professionally
00:01:14.45\00:01:18.63
and I can't do that anymore.
00:01:18.64\00:01:21.44
So I've had to give that up,
00:01:21.45\00:01:22.66
but I'm not gonna
give up my horses.
00:01:22.67\00:01:24.77
I want my health back.
00:01:24.78\00:01:26.21
I wanna be able to do
the things I used to do.
00:01:26.22\00:01:28.48
Ride horses, not
necessarily bell race,
00:01:28.49\00:01:31.81
'cause I'm at the
age where I could retire,
00:01:31.82\00:01:34.10
but at least ride
horses, till I ride.
00:01:34.11\00:01:37.25
You know, also
take care of parents.
00:01:37.26\00:01:40.59
I'm an only child, so
I'd like to be around,
00:01:40.60\00:01:43.69
be there for them.
00:01:43.70\00:01:47.76
Welcome back, friends,
00:01:47.77\00:01:48.93
and let me
introduce you to Sharon.
00:01:48.94\00:01:50.67
How are you, dear?
00:01:50.68\00:01:51.65
I'm good. How are you?
00:01:51.66\00:01:52.63
Good to see you.
00:01:52.64\00:01:53.61
And I know you
got a great story,
00:01:53.62\00:01:56.11
but let me ask you
before we get into your story.
00:01:56.12\00:01:58.50
Don't you wish or pray
that you could have seen
00:01:58.51\00:02:04.03
and known about this Lifestyle
00:02:04.04\00:02:06.03
before the stents were put in?
00:02:06.04\00:02:07.74
Oh, yes. I would have
given anything to known.
00:02:07.75\00:02:10.99
But let me tell you,
00:02:11.00\00:02:11.97
I've had a five
way bypass and I too.
00:02:11.98\00:02:16.49
Well, I thank
God I'm alive today.
00:02:16.50\00:02:19.74
You came here a
couple of weeks ago
00:02:19.75\00:02:22.38
and you made mentioned
00:02:22.39\00:02:23.46
as we just saw in
your first interview,
00:02:23.47\00:02:26.41
you had two stents put
in, you had chest pains,
00:02:26.42\00:02:31.27
and you had another problem.
00:02:31.28\00:02:33.81
What has happened
since you've been here?
00:02:33.82\00:02:37.26
Well, I've walked.
00:02:37.27\00:02:40.24
They encourage
you to walk everyday
00:02:40.25\00:02:43.67
and up to 6 miles a
day, that's everyday. Wow!
00:02:43.68\00:02:48.55
Yes, and it sounds hard,
00:02:48.56\00:02:50.37
but it's not because you
just do a little at a time.
00:02:50.38\00:02:53.06
Yes. You know,
we do half a mile,
00:02:53.07\00:02:55.34
three quarter of a mile
and next thing you know,
00:02:55.35\00:02:57.18
you're five or six miles.
00:02:57.19\00:02:59.20
And also it's a
plant-based diet.
00:02:59.21\00:03:03.80
And then, you know,
00:03:03.81\00:03:06.84
that incorporated
with the fresh air and,
00:03:06.85\00:03:11.40
you know, all of the outside
surroundings that you get,
00:03:11.41\00:03:15.21
the beautiful surroundings.
00:03:15.22\00:03:17.52
And you know, all that
together just gives you
00:03:17.53\00:03:22.62
a whole new look in
life, I mean, you're,
00:03:22.63\00:03:25.51
I just feel like I'm a
new person, you know...
00:03:25.52\00:03:28.56
And you look different.
00:03:28.57\00:03:29.97
Thank you. I feel
just totally different.
00:03:29.98\00:03:33.18
I just can't tell
you when I came here,
00:03:33.19\00:03:35.63
my head was just in a fog.
00:03:35.64\00:03:38.50
Yes. You know,
00:03:38.51\00:03:39.48
I had headaches, I had...
00:03:39.49\00:03:42.12
I was stressed
out, I was just...Yes.
00:03:42.13\00:03:45.10
You know, tight as a drum,
00:03:45.11\00:03:46.56
I was just so
stressed all the time.
00:03:46.57\00:03:48.64
Did you find out,
while you're here?
00:03:48.65\00:03:50.70
Did you find out why
these things were happening?
00:03:50.71\00:03:54.75
Well, then of course,
then I had shingles too.
00:03:54.76\00:03:58.44
You know, I
didn't tell you that,
00:03:58.45\00:03:59.65
but right after I had all
the heart problems at first,
00:03:59.66\00:04:03.59
then I got shingles.
00:04:03.60\00:04:05.35
I think the
worst case in history.
00:04:05.36\00:04:08.53
And so, now I've come
off all of the medicine
00:04:08.54\00:04:12.97
that I was on for shingles.
00:04:12.98\00:04:15.23
And when I went to the
doctor today got my last report,
00:04:15.24\00:04:20.55
I found out the blood flow
to my heart has increased a lot.
00:04:20.56\00:04:26.34
Praise God.
00:04:26.35\00:04:27.32
And all the walking I've done.
00:04:27.33\00:04:29.03
I've only chest pains one time,
00:04:29.04\00:04:31.17
which was when I walked
00:04:31.18\00:04:32.98
a mile and a
half without stopping.
00:04:32.99\00:04:35.22
Up and down
hills, big hills. Yes.
00:04:35.23\00:04:37.43
And at home I was having
chest pains all the time,
00:04:37.44\00:04:39.67
I mean, just anything
I've tried to do outside.
00:04:39.68\00:04:42.77
You know, or
sometimes inside from stress
00:04:42.78\00:04:44.85
I do have chest pain.
00:04:44.86\00:04:46.42
But this
atmosphere here is so pleasant
00:04:46.43\00:04:50.14
and everybody is so
sweet and so good to you.
00:04:50.15\00:04:54.28
Everybody, they just
can't do enough for you.
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.85
You know, I mean,
the doctors are just.
00:04:56.86\00:05:00.74
I just can't, I don't know,
00:05:00.75\00:05:02.06
even a word to
describe the doctors here.
00:05:02.07\00:05:04.09
You know, I mean, the doctor,
00:05:04.10\00:05:06.78
one day we went on to outing
00:05:06.79\00:05:08.21
and he walked with me
beside me all day. Really?
00:05:08.22\00:05:12.41
Yes. And the nurses, I mean,
00:05:12.42\00:05:14.66
they're just there for you.
00:05:14.67\00:05:16.45
I mean, right down the
lady who cleans the room.
00:05:16.46\00:05:20.28
Anything you ask
them for, you got it.
00:05:20.29\00:05:22.53
You know, and
they're so good to you.
00:05:22.54\00:05:25.09
And everybody
here's so positive.
00:05:25.10\00:05:27.40
So, even the patients
here have to be positive.
00:05:27.41\00:05:31.93
You know, you can't be
negative around somebody
00:05:31.94\00:05:34.07
who is some place, who
is positive all the time,
00:05:34.08\00:05:38.60
people are positive.
So it's just amazing.
00:05:38.61\00:05:43.37
What that kind of an
atmosphere will do for you.
00:05:43.38\00:05:46.85
Well, we see what
it's done for you.
00:05:46.86\00:05:49.71
And we know now that
you have no more chest pain.
00:05:49.72\00:05:53.99
We know that your heart is
getting much more blood to it.
00:05:54.00\00:05:59.07
We also know
because you've chosen
00:05:59.08\00:06:01.30
to do this plant-based diet,
00:06:01.31\00:06:04.41
and I'm sure Dr.
Lukens has shared with you
00:06:04.42\00:06:08.41
about prostaglandins and
how they expand the capillaries,
00:06:08.42\00:06:13.17
the arteries, the veins,
and they become more pliable.
00:06:13.18\00:06:17.25
And now it's like,
you described it very well
00:06:17.26\00:06:20.63
like coming out of a fog
because you've been in a fog.
00:06:20.64\00:06:25.06
I remember I was. That's right.
00:06:25.07\00:06:28.33
Aside from the other things
that you were dealing with,
00:06:28.34\00:06:31.54
I was also
alcoholic. So I was in a fog,
00:06:31.55\00:06:35.26
in a blissful fog I
thought at that time.
00:06:35.27\00:06:38.60
And that's all gone
and so just praise God
00:06:38.61\00:06:43.65
for this wonderful place
00:06:43.66\00:06:45.99
that we get to come to
and feel whole again. Exactly.
00:06:46.00\00:06:52.50
So, I know that you
spoken with your husband,
00:06:52.51\00:06:55.17
who is a commercial fisherman.
00:06:55.18\00:06:58.34
And when you get home is
that gonna be a task for you
00:06:58.35\00:07:06.23
to get him to change his diet?
00:07:06.24\00:07:10.93
Well, I'm not
gonna try to change him
00:07:10.94\00:07:13.07
because you can't
change another person.
00:07:13.08\00:07:14.99
They have to change themselves,
00:07:15.00\00:07:17.30
they have to wanna change.
00:07:17.31\00:07:19.12
So I think as he listens
and sees the improvement in me
00:07:19.13\00:07:25.64
that he's gonna want to change,
00:07:25.65\00:07:27.47
I'm praying, that is my prayer.
00:07:27.48\00:07:30.01
And that's another
thing about this place.
00:07:30.02\00:07:32.34
The power of prayer
is just extraordinary.
00:07:32.35\00:07:35.21
I've never seen
anything like it.
00:07:35.22\00:07:37.45
You know, I've been a
Christian for 38 years,
00:07:37.46\00:07:39.37
but I've never seen the
power of prayer like it's here.
00:07:39.38\00:07:42.96
And so I know that
God can change him,
00:07:42.97\00:07:46.28
but he has to want to change.
00:07:46.29\00:07:48.48
And he said to me after
the third day that I was here
00:07:48.49\00:07:52.39
and I called him, he said,
00:07:52.40\00:07:54.31
I hear such a
change in your voice.
00:07:54.32\00:07:56.22
He said, you
talk fast and he said,
00:07:56.23\00:07:59.05
it used to be you were
just, you couldn't find,
00:07:59.06\00:08:01.55
you talk so slowly
because you couldn't think
00:08:01.56\00:08:03.45
of the word you wanted
to say, you couldn't think.
00:08:03.46\00:08:06.43
And I said, well the
oxygen got to my brain.
00:08:06.44\00:08:11.66
That's a good way of putting it.
00:08:11.67\00:08:12.65
And it's true. That's true.
00:08:12.66\00:08:14.39
It's true. Well, great. Yeah.
00:08:14.40\00:08:16.71
So in answer to your question,
00:08:16.72\00:08:19.47
that's really up to him and God,
00:08:19.48\00:08:20.83
but I'm gonna be praying for him
00:08:20.84\00:08:22.07
and I'm gonna
be doing everything
00:08:22.08\00:08:23.20
I can to encourage him. Amen
00:08:23.21\00:08:27.21
Now, you obviously was here for,
00:08:27.22\00:08:32.93
this make sure
18th day or 17th day,
00:08:32.94\00:08:36.38
and then you'll
be leaving tomorrow.
00:08:36.39\00:08:38.96
What can you take with
you that you really own,
00:08:38.97\00:08:43.54
that you grabbed here
at the NEWSTART Program
00:08:43.55\00:08:47.89
and that's gonna be with
you for the rest of your life?
00:08:47.90\00:08:50.90
Share with our viewers,
00:08:50.91\00:08:52.62
what it is that
you're gonna take with you?
00:08:52.63\00:08:56.21
Well, I'm gonna
take this lifestyle,
00:08:56.22\00:08:58.43
because it's gonna
give me good health.
00:08:58.44\00:09:01.47
And it's gonna
give me the health
00:09:01.48\00:09:03.02
that I want to be
able to do what I want,
00:09:03.03\00:09:07.24
to be able to
take care of my horses.
00:09:07.25\00:09:10.09
I may not bell
race because I could,
00:09:10.10\00:09:13.16
if i wanted to, I
really think i could
00:09:13.17\00:09:14.98
if I wanted to do now,
00:09:14.99\00:09:16.66
but I don't
think I want to because
00:09:16.67\00:09:17.92
I think I'm gonna
more peaceful life. Yeah.
00:09:17.93\00:09:20.19
So I think I'm
gonna be happy with just,
00:09:20.20\00:09:23.18
you know, trial riding
and enjoying my horses,
00:09:23.19\00:09:26.24
and not the stress
part of bell racing.
00:09:26.25\00:09:29.24
Good for you.
00:09:29.25\00:09:30.22
But I really
believe that I would be,
00:09:30.23\00:09:32.07
you know, my body would be able,
00:09:32.08\00:09:35.33
be in shape to
do it do if want to.
00:09:35.34\00:09:38.81
So, 38 years
you've been a Christian,
00:09:38.82\00:09:42.11
you didn't know that all
you needed to do is pickup
00:09:42.12\00:09:45.53
the Bible and read the
first chapter. Exactly.
00:09:45.54\00:09:49.53
Or two and you find out
what you should be eating.
00:09:49.54\00:09:52.62
Exactly. I thought that was
00:09:52.63\00:09:55.80
just absolutely amazing for me.
00:09:55.81\00:09:57.49
I did it too. See,
00:09:57.50\00:09:58.47
I thought that that
was for Old Testament.
00:09:58.48\00:10:01.93
Yes, I understand.
00:10:01.94\00:10:03.62
You know, I never heard
it, written, or studied it
00:10:03.63\00:10:09.27
or saw it written
anywhere or nobody ever told me
00:10:09.28\00:10:12.44
that it was the Lifestyle
God wanted for us today.
00:10:12.45\00:10:15.53
Amen. Yeah.
00:10:15.54\00:10:16.82
Sharon, I want to
thank you for coming
00:10:16.83\00:10:18.92
into the studio
and visiting with us.
00:10:18.93\00:10:21.90
Thank you. And God bless you.
00:10:21.91\00:10:23.26
Thank you for having me. Yes.
00:10:23.27\00:10:24.89

Welcome back, friends,
00:11:41.75\00:11:42.72
and in our
studio Dr. Clarence Ing.
00:11:42.73\00:11:44.70
How are you,
doctor? Good to see you.
00:11:44.71\00:11:46.24
It's a pleasure to be here.
00:11:46.25\00:11:47.44
Yes. And for our
viewers to understand
00:11:47.45\00:11:50.45
that Dr. Ing is the
Medical Director here
00:11:50.46\00:11:53.98
and has been, for
how many years now?
00:11:53.99\00:11:56.77
Oh, I don't know, 13
years. Thirteen years.
00:11:56.78\00:11:59.04
I've been here 13 years,
00:11:59.05\00:12:00.21
I haven't been Medical
Director the whole time.
00:12:00.22\00:12:02.08
But you've been
here for 13 years.
00:12:02.09\00:12:04.90
Doctor, I want to talk to
you about Sharon right now.
00:12:04.91\00:12:08.62
And how she's done?
00:12:08.63\00:12:10.13
I understand that she
has no more chest pains.
00:12:10.14\00:12:14.07
Tell us a little bit
about this heart situation.
00:12:14.08\00:12:17.22
Well, Sharon
had some chest pain.
00:12:17.23\00:12:21.18
And this was her problem
00:12:21.19\00:12:23.11
when she went to see her
physicians in her home area.
00:12:23.12\00:12:27.11
And because of this, with
all of her various activities
00:12:27.12\00:12:31.37
she notices that she
was caring for her horses.
00:12:31.38\00:12:34.41
She will get tired,
she had chest pains,
00:12:34.42\00:12:36.64
so she went to see
the doctors and they said,
00:12:36.65\00:12:39.06
well we need to evaluate you
00:12:39.07\00:12:42.17
One thing led to another.
00:12:42.18\00:12:43.69
So she ended up
having an angiogram
00:12:43.70\00:12:46.02
and having a stent placed,
00:12:46.03\00:12:48.93
and then within another
few weeks she had to go back
00:12:48.94\00:12:53.60
because she has
some more chest pain
00:12:53.61\00:12:55.06
and so they had
to do another stent.
00:12:55.07\00:12:58.29
The good thing is that
she had not had a heart attack
00:12:58.30\00:13:01.06
so there is no
damage to the heart.
00:13:01.07\00:13:02.95
Oh, praise God.
00:13:02.96\00:13:03.95
But she had some
nerving of her arteries,
00:13:03.96\00:13:07.11
which they manage at
that time with a stent.
00:13:07.12\00:13:10.69
And she didn't
really realize that
00:13:10.70\00:13:13.60
she know there were
other options and things.
00:13:13.61\00:13:16.67
And I'm not sure if
she told you her story,
00:13:16.68\00:13:19.32
but I guess that we're going
to some sort of health fair.
00:13:19.33\00:13:22.31
In the area where
they lived in Virginia
00:13:22.32\00:13:24.32
and there was an
Adventist Church area,
00:13:24.33\00:13:27.13
we had a booth and she
talked to the people there.
00:13:27.14\00:13:29.67
And they talked to her
00:13:29.68\00:13:31.34
and she found out about NEWSTART
00:13:31.35\00:13:33.31
and she inquired about NEWSTART
00:13:33.32\00:13:35.68
and so she decided she
want to come to NEWSTART
00:13:35.69\00:13:38.35
and she came. But not
only did she come to NEWSTART,
00:13:38.36\00:13:43.19
but she talked with her momma,
00:13:43.20\00:13:46.54
her mother, she persuaded
her mother to come as well.
00:13:46.55\00:13:51.95
Now I've heard and
I'll let the cat out
00:13:51.96\00:13:55.23
of the bag a little bit,
you're gonna tell us about
00:13:55.24\00:13:57.83
the benefits that the
mother received just being here
00:13:57.84\00:14:00.92
as a companion supporting
the daughters. Is that about?
00:14:00.93\00:14:04.96
Right, you know, the
mother came here as a companion,
00:14:04.97\00:14:07.09
but she actually had a
medical evaluation and checkup.
00:14:07.10\00:14:12.53
And she was went, you know,
00:14:12.54\00:14:15.23
when she first got
here, she was very tired
00:14:15.24\00:14:19.40
and her daughter
was concerned because
00:14:19.41\00:14:21.01
mom wasn't doing too much.
00:14:21.02\00:14:22.55
She didn't move
around very much.
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.17
And when she would
try to do something,
00:14:24.18\00:14:27.75
she got very, very tried.
00:14:27.76\00:14:29.70
And so, when she first got here,
00:14:29.71\00:14:33.43
she pretty
couldn't walk very well
00:14:33.44\00:14:35.53
and treadmill
wasn't down, was very low,
00:14:35.54\00:14:39.70
but I was talking to
her and just a few days ago,
00:14:39.71\00:14:44.06
I said, Josephine,
00:14:44.07\00:14:46.34
what's happened to you
since you've been here?
00:14:46.35\00:14:48.69
And she says, I
have so much more energy
00:14:48.70\00:14:51.49
than when I got here.
00:14:51.50\00:14:52.96
I said, what was your energy
level like when you got here?
00:14:52.97\00:14:56.01
She is like, oh, I
don't know maybe one or a two.
00:14:56.02\00:14:59.62
I said, what it is now?
00:14:59.63\00:15:00.79
She says, it's a
nine over ten. Wow!
00:15:00.80\00:15:03.26
I have so much more energy
00:15:03.27\00:15:04.71
and I can do so
many more things.
00:15:04.72\00:15:06.94
And so she was overjoyed and,
00:15:06.95\00:15:08.90
of course, her
daughter's overjoyed.
00:15:08.91\00:15:10.42
And as we also reviewed Sharon,
00:15:10.43\00:15:13.94
you know, her treadmill time
00:15:13.95\00:15:15.10
increased to a
minute and a half.
00:15:15.11\00:15:16.80
And so's she has done very,
00:15:16.81\00:15:19.53
very well since she's been here.
00:15:19.54\00:15:20.97
And not only that she's,
00:15:20.98\00:15:22.89
as we talked with
the people I said,
00:15:22.90\00:15:24.90
what are your
plans when you go home?
00:15:24.91\00:15:27.73
What are you going to do?
00:15:27.74\00:15:29.46
And how do you going to live?
00:15:29.47\00:15:31.88
Because it's really
wonderful while you're here
00:15:31.89\00:15:34.25
and what you do
while you're here is great,
00:15:34.26\00:15:35.90
you know, foods all prepared
00:15:35.91\00:15:38.45
and people
encourage you to go exercise.
00:15:38.46\00:15:40.69
And so, she says,
no, when I go home,
00:15:40.70\00:15:45.71
Sharon, says my
diet is going to change.
00:15:45.72\00:15:47.98
And she's already
talked to her husband
00:15:47.99\00:15:50.76
about some of these things,
00:15:50.77\00:15:52.21
because her husband happens
to be an oyster fisherman.
00:15:52.22\00:15:56.47
Oh, my goodness.
00:15:56.48\00:15:57.83
And he has been
doing this... In Virginia?
00:15:57.84\00:15:59.57
He had been doing
this for a long time.
00:15:59.58\00:16:02.33
And so, he realizes that
his wife is going to change.
00:16:02.34\00:16:06.97
And she says, that's
right, I'm going to change.
00:16:06.98\00:16:09.36
And so he is going
to cooperate with her,
00:16:09.37\00:16:13.10
which is wonderful. Yes.
00:16:13.11\00:16:14.74
So I'm looking forward
to her continued success.
00:16:14.75\00:16:18.32
Well, you know, doctor,
00:16:18.33\00:16:19.30
I got to say
that here we have mom,
00:16:19.31\00:16:23.36
who is kind of from
the outside looking in.
00:16:23.37\00:16:26.88
And she came here
to assist her daughter,
00:16:26.89\00:16:30.14
and I just see God's
hand even with a guest
00:16:30.15\00:16:34.29
that is assisting another guest.
00:16:34.30\00:16:37.48
Namely the daughter in
this case that she's gained
00:16:37.49\00:16:40.86
so much from just being here.
00:16:40.87\00:16:44.70
Can you comment
about that? What happened?
00:16:44.71\00:16:48.05
I mean, we know,
what happens to our guest,
00:16:48.06\00:16:50.37
but the companions.
How did that happen?
00:16:50.38\00:16:53.62
Well, you know,
the companions eat
00:16:53.63\00:16:55.77
the same sort of food.
00:16:55.78\00:16:57.73
You know, the guests eat
00:16:57.74\00:16:58.95
and they're
encouraged to exercise.
00:16:58.96\00:17:01.20
And they, you know,
00:17:01.21\00:17:03.83
they attend the cooking
schools and they begin...
00:17:03.84\00:17:06.14
And do they to go
all the meetings as well?
00:17:06.15\00:17:07.79
They're able to if they want to.
00:17:07.80\00:17:09.93
Okay, so they're hearing
from you and other doctors
00:17:09.94\00:17:13.31
about how
lifestyle can change, okay.
00:17:13.32\00:17:17.23
Right. And so they
learn about attitude.
00:17:17.24\00:17:19.06
You know, or even
optimists or pessimists?
00:17:19.07\00:17:21.33
And you know attitude
makes a big difference
00:17:21.34\00:17:24.48
as I think I'm sure, you know,
00:17:24.49\00:17:27.42
but most of our listeners do,
00:17:27.43\00:17:29.29
but if you don't realize
that the way you look at things
00:17:29.30\00:17:32.06
makes a big
difference, you know,
00:17:32.07\00:17:33.32
is a glass half
full or is it half empty?
00:17:33.33\00:17:35.40
Yes. You know,
00:17:35.41\00:17:36.39
and behind the clouds
there's a silver lining.
00:17:36.40\00:17:39.04
And you know, if it
rains, that's wonderful because
00:17:39.05\00:17:42.07
we need the rain or if
it snows, but you know,
00:17:42.08\00:17:44.11
there's sun above the clouds
and it's something we need.
00:17:44.12\00:17:48.96
And if adversity happens.
00:17:48.97\00:17:51.75
Well, adversity happens,
but what can I learn from it?
00:17:51.76\00:17:55.15
Amen. And you have a,
00:17:55.16\00:17:58.78
you'll be a lot
happier life somewhat easier
00:17:58.79\00:18:00.48
if you live like that.
00:18:00.49\00:18:01.56
In fact, I tell
the people I said.
00:18:01.57\00:18:04.39
And some people
wait till they wake up
00:18:04.40\00:18:05.67
and they might say.
00:18:05.68\00:18:06.65
Well, when I wake up
I'm gonna see how I feel
00:18:06.66\00:18:09.75
and then I've decide,
00:18:09.76\00:18:10.75
if I'm gonna have a
good day or a bad day.
00:18:10.76\00:18:12.56
And I say, well,
that's one way you can do it,
00:18:12.57\00:18:15.03
but I'd rather
encourage you when you wake up
00:18:15.04\00:18:17.37
in the morning,
it's gonna be a good day
00:18:17.38\00:18:19.80
and if you don't wake up
00:18:19.81\00:18:21.17
more than you don't
have to worry about it,
00:18:21.18\00:18:22.87
it's not a difference, so...
00:18:22.88\00:18:25.15
It doesn't matter. Does it?
00:18:25.16\00:18:26.46
Yeah, it makes
things a lot easier.
00:18:26.47\00:18:28.72
Yeah, so it's a matter of
choice is what I hear you say.
00:18:28.73\00:18:32.34
Absolutely, it's
a matter of choice.
00:18:32.35\00:18:34.17
So we can merely choose
00:18:34.18\00:18:35.65
whether we're gonna
feel good today or not.
00:18:35.66\00:18:38.22
Right and you don't depend upon,
00:18:38.23\00:18:40.34
you know, if you got
aches and pains, you know.
00:18:40.35\00:18:43.86
As you mature get older.
00:18:43.87\00:18:46.04
You've a few
more aches and pains,
00:18:46.05\00:18:47.78
but you know
what? You better be glad
00:18:47.79\00:18:50.29
you're getting older
because have you considered
00:18:50.30\00:18:52.63
the alternative, if
you're not getting older.
00:18:52.64\00:18:56.25
And I don't like
that opportunity,
00:18:56.26\00:18:58.13
I rather be getting older,
00:18:58.14\00:19:00.45
more mature and
having a few aches and pains.
00:19:00.46\00:19:02.95
Yes. So doctor,
with regards to Sharon,
00:19:02.96\00:19:09.97
I understand, she
had two procedures
00:19:09.98\00:19:13.13
for stents to be
put in. That is correct.
00:19:13.14\00:19:15.68
She has another little concern
00:19:15.69\00:19:17.61
about something in her
heart or aorta, I don't know.
00:19:17.62\00:19:22.61
Will this lifestyle
eliminate future problems?
00:19:22.62\00:19:29.12
If she continues
with the principles
00:19:29.13\00:19:30.75
that she has learned,
as Dr. Dean Ornish had said
00:19:30.76\00:19:33.79
and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn,
and Dr. John McDougall
00:19:33.80\00:19:36.89
and we say those arteries
which have been narrowed
00:19:36.90\00:19:40.06
with cholesterol
deposits can open up again.
00:19:40.07\00:19:43.26
So in that sense, we
can reverse the narrowing
00:19:43.27\00:19:46.25
of the arteries and
reverse heart disease.
00:19:46.26\00:19:48.48
So it's a
marvelous thing to know that,
00:19:48.49\00:19:50.79
if you are
willing live properly,
00:19:50.80\00:19:53.45
you can reverse the disease
00:19:53.46\00:19:54.93
and if you're
willing to live properly
00:19:54.94\00:19:56.39
you can even avoid
getting it in the first place.
00:19:56.40\00:19:59.36
So it makes a big difference.
00:19:59.37\00:20:01.39
That's so wonderful
to hear you say that,
00:20:01.40\00:20:03.56
of course, I know that.
00:20:03.57\00:20:05.05
I've heard you say
these things in the past.
00:20:05.06\00:20:07.81
And as, you know,
I'm also an alumni,
00:20:07.82\00:20:10.02
I've come through the program
00:20:10.03\00:20:12.19
and the many people I see that
00:20:12.20\00:20:14.04
attend our program
that are so blessed.
00:20:14.05\00:20:17.01
And they're
inspired, you can see the hope
00:20:17.02\00:20:20.25
and their eyes
just kind of light up,
00:20:20.26\00:20:22.93
because now they have direction.
00:20:22.94\00:20:26.14
Well, before, what did I know?
00:20:26.15\00:20:27.87
I mean, okay, I'll
have an oyster or whatever.
00:20:27.88\00:20:30.51
I wasn't even a
Christian at that time.
00:20:30.52\00:20:33.83
And so God has blessed me
00:20:33.84\00:20:36.49
abundantly by
bringing me to this place.
00:20:36.50\00:20:40.46
Is there any last minute
00:20:40.47\00:20:41.91
words that you
can say to our viewers
00:20:41.92\00:20:44.98
that might
encourage some of them
00:20:44.99\00:20:47.16
that have a heart situation?
00:20:47.17\00:20:49.41
Well, if you've
got a heart situation
00:20:49.42\00:20:50.99
and don't know what to do.
00:20:51.00\00:20:52.32

00:21:15.63\00:21:16.90
We've a tip for you right now.
00:21:16.91\00:21:20.21
Hello, I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:21:20.22\00:21:22.79
You know, helping
a friend, neighbor
00:21:22.80\00:21:24.51
or relative have better health
00:21:24.52\00:21:26.29
is one of the
most practical forms
00:21:26.30\00:21:27.95
of health ministry available.
00:21:27.96\00:21:30.20
However, if you're
not a health professional,
00:21:30.21\00:21:32.09
it can be
extremely difficult to know
00:21:32.10\00:21:33.89
how to help
someone access reliable,
00:21:33.90\00:21:36.24
credible, up to
date health information.
00:21:36.25\00:21:39.55
That's why I recommend

00:21:39.56\00:21:43.04

00:21:52.83\00:21:55.37

00:21:55.38\00:21:57.08

Lifestyle Club provides a way
00:21:57.09\00:21:59.00
for sponsor churches
and health organizations
00:21:59.01\00:22:01.71
that connect with club members
00:22:01.72\00:22:03.24

Hello, welcome
to NEWSTART at Home,
00:22:36.47\00:22:37.98
I'm your host Don Mackintosh,
00:22:37.99\00:22:39.38
we're glad you with us today
00:22:39.39\00:22:41.04
and we're also glad that
Dr. Doug Plata is with us.
00:22:41.05\00:22:44.78
Welcome, doctor. Thank you.
00:22:44.79\00:22:46.48
You're specialist
is family practice
00:22:46.49\00:22:48.33
and also preventive medicine.
00:22:48.34\00:22:51.50
And you know, I want
to just talk with you,
00:22:51.51\00:22:53.88
maybe we'll do a
couple of programs,
00:22:53.89\00:22:55.22
but what shall we do
in terms of first response
00:22:55.23\00:22:59.34
when we find about something?
00:22:59.35\00:23:00.85
You know, the very
first time you find out
00:23:00.86\00:23:02.77
that you've an issue
of some physical thing,
00:23:02.78\00:23:04.29
that sometimes a
little daunting people say,
00:23:04.30\00:23:06.75
what would I do about that?
00:23:06.76\00:23:07.85
Is it serious?
00:23:07.86\00:23:08.89
Is it something
I could let slide?
00:23:08.90\00:23:11.04
And what I wanna to talk
about today is hypertension
00:23:11.05\00:23:14.70
or high blood pressure. Right.
00:23:14.71\00:23:17.61
You know, what is it?
00:23:17.62\00:23:19.21
Should we be concerned about it?
00:23:19.22\00:23:20.55
What shall we do if we
find out that we're struggling
00:23:20.56\00:23:24.00
with high blood
pressure, the first thing?
00:23:24.01\00:23:25.89
Right, right.
00:23:25.90\00:23:27.50
People find out that
they have high blood pressure
00:23:27.51\00:23:29.34
in different settings.
00:23:29.35\00:23:30.88
But very commonly it's,
00:23:30.89\00:23:31.97
they're in a doctor's
office for some other reason
00:23:31.98\00:23:34.10
and of course, we do vitals
00:23:34.11\00:23:35.20
and one of those
vitals is blood pressure.
00:23:35.21\00:23:37.17
People say, wow,
it's running high.
00:23:37.18\00:23:39.60
And it all depends,
00:23:39.61\00:23:41.00
I would say first and
foremost as to whether,
00:23:41.01\00:23:43.49
it's a little bit high.
00:23:43.50\00:23:44.65
You know, as people get older
00:23:44.66\00:23:45.70
the blood
pressure tends to go up.
00:23:45.71\00:23:47.46
Or whether it's really high
00:23:47.47\00:23:49.49
and they have hypertensive
emergency for example.
00:23:49.50\00:23:53.88
So sometimes just when meet you
00:23:53.89\00:23:55.38
their blood pressure goes up
00:23:55.39\00:23:56.45
because they have
that white coat syndrome.
00:23:56.46\00:23:58.37
Right, is that real?
00:23:58.38\00:23:59.97
It actually is. Yes.
00:23:59.98\00:24:01.48
White jacket hypertension.
00:24:01.49\00:24:03.36
I see it not
infrequently, it's fairly common
00:24:03.37\00:24:07.18
and we try to do
a couple of things
00:24:07.19\00:24:10.13
we go ahead and check it again,
00:24:10.14\00:24:11.50
after they've sort of
calmed down a little bit.
00:24:11.51\00:24:13.79
I've literally even
tried to not wear a jacket,
00:24:13.80\00:24:16.49
but I think it's actually doctor
00:24:16.50\00:24:18.11
hypertension not
just white jacket. Right.
00:24:18.12\00:24:19.53
So, I mean, so that's kind of,
00:24:19.54\00:24:21.20
you know, you do
two or three times
00:24:21.21\00:24:22.49
but then you find out
yes, I do have hypertension.
00:24:22.50\00:24:25.24
So what's the next step
what should you do then?
00:24:25.25\00:24:26.89
Yeah, but let me
just to emphasize that
00:24:26.90\00:24:28.98
and that is we don't
really make a diagnosis.
00:24:28.99\00:24:31.32
If we're measuring, you
know, slightly alleviated
00:24:31.33\00:24:33.49
blood pressure we don't
make a diagnosis hypertension,
00:24:33.50\00:24:35.40
we'd like to check it
on two separate settings.
00:24:35.41\00:24:37.96
Because the fact of matter
is our blood pressure goes up
00:24:37.97\00:24:40.52
and down throughout the day.
00:24:40.53\00:24:42.70
And so just
because we get one spot
00:24:42.71\00:24:44.76
reading is not a diagnosis.
00:24:44.77\00:24:46.98
Unless it's incredibly high.
00:24:46.99\00:24:48.52
Okay, so let's say
00:24:48.53\00:24:49.50
now we do know it's
high blood pressure.
00:24:49.51\00:24:51.08
Right, right.
00:24:51.09\00:24:52.62
You know, unfortunately
00:24:52.63\00:24:53.80
one of my
colleagues who are not,
00:24:53.81\00:24:56.61
you know, oriented to lifestyle
00:24:56.62\00:24:59.30
sort of approach to
the practice of medicine.
00:24:59.31\00:25:01.95
Often times they will, I
joke that you tap their pen
00:25:01.96\00:25:04.82
and they write
out a prescription,
00:25:04.83\00:25:06.41
you know, and unfortunately
00:25:06.42\00:25:07.55
a lot of
patients are immediately
00:25:07.56\00:25:08.53
put on a prescription
for a blood pressure.
00:25:08.54\00:25:10.91
If it's mild or even a
lower moderate hypertension,
00:25:10.92\00:25:14.01
really the first
thing we ought to do
00:25:14.02\00:25:16.46
is try to maximize
lifestyle intervention.
00:25:16.47\00:25:19.17
Because in most
cases for mal hypertension
00:25:19.18\00:25:21.72
it can be
controlled with lifestyle.
00:25:21.73\00:25:23.17
So what are the...
Give me some quick things
00:25:23.18\00:25:25.03
that they can do lifestyle wise.
00:25:25.04\00:25:26.20
There is a number
of very simple things,
00:25:26.21\00:25:29.16
one is, you can go
ahead and get exercise,
00:25:29.17\00:25:32.52
especially aerobic exercise
things like walk, walk, walk.
00:25:32.53\00:25:36.61
Our bicycling is
what I enjoy doing.
00:25:36.62\00:25:39.66
So exercise by itself
is really quite powerful.
00:25:39.67\00:25:43.41
Second thing is in
terms of diet is salts,
00:25:43.42\00:25:47.73
a certain percentage
of patients are actually
00:25:47.74\00:25:50.76
very sensitive to salt.
00:25:50.77\00:25:51.74
So if they can
reduce their salt,
00:25:51.75\00:25:53.38
that would be recommended.
00:25:53.39\00:25:56.02
Especially no adding of salt
00:25:56.03\00:25:57.55
and you know,
looking at the labels
00:25:57.56\00:25:59.11
and seeing where it is.
00:25:59.12\00:26:00.82
The third thing is
losing some weight by itself
00:26:00.83\00:26:04.53
can often times do the trick.
00:26:04.54\00:26:06.37
Alcohol or caffeine
00:26:06.38\00:26:08.57
or tobacco those
things can go ahead
00:26:08.58\00:26:10.38
and raise the
blood pressure as well.
00:26:10.39\00:26:12.90
And so you know,
00:26:12.91\00:26:14.19
and once they've
tried those things
00:26:14.20\00:26:15.67
and those things are not working
00:26:15.68\00:26:17.16
and that's when may be
they needed to talk about
00:26:17.17\00:26:19.93
some other things
because it is not something
00:26:19.94\00:26:21.87
you just want to leave alone.
00:26:21.88\00:26:23.13
No it's, high blood pressure
00:26:23.14\00:26:25.23
or hypertension are
called the silent killer
00:26:25.24\00:26:27.29
and that is without symptoms,
00:26:27.30\00:26:29.38
nevertheless if you
don't know about it,
00:26:29.39\00:26:31.60
because you don't have symptoms
00:26:31.61\00:26:32.76
that put you at a
significant risk of stroke.
00:26:32.77\00:26:37.68
And boy, that's very disabling,
00:26:37.69\00:26:39.27
you know, to have a
stroke and lose a function.
00:26:39.28\00:26:41.93
As well as, you
know, heart attack as well.
00:26:41.94\00:26:46.88
So would you agree that probably
00:26:46.89\00:26:48.53
hypertension is usually
related to something else?
00:26:48.54\00:26:51.06
What you've said is you
know, maybe they're overweight,
00:26:51.07\00:26:52.99
maybe they are
this, maybe they're that.
00:26:53.00\00:26:54.81
So you probably try
and help them to discover
00:26:54.82\00:26:56.90
what that issue is.
00:26:56.91\00:26:58.31
Yeah you know,
high blood pressure
00:26:58.32\00:27:00.51
falls into 2 categories
00:27:00.52\00:27:01.79
probably won't
get into that hear
00:27:01.80\00:27:02.92
but primary and secondary
00:27:02.93\00:27:04.22
it can be caused by
some other medical conditions
00:27:04.23\00:27:06.67
but for the most cases
00:27:06.68\00:27:09.38
it has to with
lifestyle or with aging.
00:27:09.39\00:27:12.46
Well, this is very practical
advice to give you something,
00:27:12.47\00:27:16.09
if you know someone that's
struggling with hypertension
00:27:16.10\00:27:18.29
or high blood pressure.
00:27:18.30\00:27:19.27
First of all, you
should know your numbers,
00:27:19.28\00:27:20.39
get your blood pressure checked.
00:27:20.40\00:27:21.59
Checked a couple of times,
00:27:21.60\00:27:23.14
it's not something you
should just not be aware of
00:27:23.15\00:27:27.18
and then follow the
steps that you've heard today.
00:27:27.19\00:27:29.91
