Hi friends and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART Now!
00:00:23.66\00:00:27.63
I have in our studio
with us, Lorna Whyte.
00:00:27.69\00:00:30.84
All the way from
Jamaica so you'll want to
00:00:31.03\00:00:33.72
watch this interview
when she first arrived.
00:00:33.73\00:00:36.72
I'm one of those
women who think we can do
00:00:38.03\00:00:40.81
four jobs perfectly.
00:00:40.87\00:00:42.63
We leave ourselves out of
the equation so I now have
00:00:42.81\00:00:47.21
diabetes and hypertension
00:00:47.39\00:00:50.12
and the doctors think I might
00:00:50.24\00:00:52.27
have some
arthritis in my right knee.
00:00:52.28\00:00:54.72
I'd love to be
able to leave here
00:00:55.09\00:00:57.33
thinking I can
go home and dance!
00:00:57.34\00:00:59.87
What I want mostly from the
program is to lose some weight.
00:01:00.24\00:01:04.72
Tighten up the flabs.
00:01:05.30\00:01:07.36
I want to regularize my blood
00:01:09.12\00:01:11.33
sugar level
because it's been erratic
00:01:11.34\00:01:14.15
and to be
satisfied with a better diet.
00:01:14.60\00:01:18.69
More vegetarian
along the route to vegan.
00:01:19.48\00:01:23.72
And my blood pressure.
00:01:24.30\00:01:26.57
Welcome back friends
and in our studio, Lorna,
00:01:29.78\00:01:32.72
how are you dear? -
I'm quite well thank you.
00:01:33.09\00:01:35.51
It's so good to see you again!
00:01:35.54\00:01:37.33
It's good to see you too.
00:01:37.45\00:01:38.45
Let's start with your
00:01:38.46\00:01:39.45
diabetes have you
noticed any change?
00:01:39.46\00:01:41.87
Yes, I'm on much less insulin
00:01:42.12\00:01:45.39
and medication and my
levels are much better.
00:01:45.69\00:01:49.84
So I'm pleased
about that. - Good!
00:01:50.21\00:01:52.75
What about the
high blood pressure?
00:01:53.84\00:01:55.45
It's still bouncing all over
the place but it's improving.
00:01:55.69\00:01:59.54
And again I'm
on less medication.
00:02:00.81\00:02:03.03
I really need to
lose some pounds.
00:02:04.12\00:02:07.30
Some poundage! - Yes.
00:02:07.31\00:02:09.27
Have you lost some
poundage? - No, I haven't!
00:02:09.36\00:02:13.27
But I think I've
lost some inches!
00:02:13.39\00:02:15.81
Some inches! - Yeah.
00:02:15.82\00:02:17.36
Let me encourage
you a little bit.
00:02:17.66\00:02:19.84
We had a lady here once,
Dr. Lukens will tell you this,
00:02:19.85\00:02:23.36
Is he your
doctor? - He's my doctor.
00:02:23.66\00:02:25.21
An absolutely wonderful
person! - He's a wonderful man!
00:02:25.33\00:02:29.03
And we're going to be
interviewing him next!
00:02:29.36\00:02:31.33
But we had a lady
here who was his patient
00:02:31.69\00:02:34.75
and she didn't
lose a pound but lost
00:02:35.06\00:02:37.57
4 dress sizes! - My word!
00:02:38.12\00:02:41.30
My word, is right. -
Yeah, that's interesting.
00:02:41.36\00:02:44.15
So, you know you
could do the same thing.
00:02:44.18\00:02:46.30
But you want to
lose some poundage also.
00:02:46.31\00:02:48.66
I need to lose
some pounds but the
00:02:48.72\00:02:50.75
important thing is that
I'm on the road to recovery.
00:02:50.76\00:02:53.75
Yes you are! - Yes,
I feel so much better
00:02:53.84\00:02:56.78
than when I got here!
00:02:57.33\00:02:58.42
Good and you look better too!
00:02:58.87\00:03:00.66
How'd they treat
you here? - Wonderfully!
00:03:01.72\00:03:03.87
Everybody? -
Everybody, even the cat!
00:03:04.42\00:03:06.81
Even the cat!
00:03:07.12\00:03:08.12
Dorothy's little
cat! - Yes, even the cat.
00:03:10.15\00:03:12.84
The staff here is
absolutely wonderful!
00:03:12.85\00:03:15.36
I almost don't want to go home!
00:03:15.84\00:03:17.57
Well you can
stay another session.
00:03:17.69\00:03:19.33
I know I'm thinking about it!
00:03:19.34\00:03:21.21
You should! - Yeah, but my
00:03:21.22\00:03:22.36
daughter is
coming to get me tonight!
00:03:22.37\00:03:24.03
Well, we can have
her stay with you!
00:03:24.48\00:03:26.81
That's right! - That's right!
00:03:26.82\00:03:29.18
Well, what have you learned here
00:03:29.78\00:03:32.51
that you can
take back to Jamaica
00:03:32.84\00:03:35.48
and share with your
brothers and sisters there
00:03:36.09\00:03:40.03
to help them?
00:03:40.30\00:03:41.30
The value of eating well.
00:03:41.87\00:03:44.24
The value of eating well.
00:03:44.87\00:03:47.21
Not shoving junk
down our throats.
00:03:47.48\00:03:52.00
And really going
back to the bible
00:03:52.45\00:03:54.57
and eating as
God wanted us to eat.
00:03:55.54\00:03:58.33
So, when you say
going back to the bible
00:03:59.03\00:04:01.36
are you making
reference to the diet that
00:04:01.37\00:04:04.81
God gave to Adam
and Eve, - That's right!
00:04:04.82\00:04:07.33
and Daniel, - That's right!
00:04:07.34\00:04:09.18
So you're aware of
these things? - That's right!
00:04:10.36\00:04:13.06
And it's right at our
00:04:13.07\00:04:14.09
finger tips - Exactly!
00:04:14.10\00:04:15.51
Yes.
00:04:15.52\00:04:16.51
So you're going to be sharing
00:04:16.87\00:04:18.06
that with your
brothers and sisters?
00:04:18.07\00:04:19.42
I certainly will!
00:04:19.43\00:04:20.42
Are you going to be
holding seminars at church?
00:04:20.48\00:04:22.63
I might, I'm gonna try.
00:04:22.72\00:04:24.75
Sometimes I do seminars
00:04:25.09\00:04:27.06
at churches for senior citizens.
00:04:27.27\00:04:29.57
So, I'm going to
try and ease it in
00:04:29.78\00:04:31.72
because it's really valuable.
00:04:32.15\00:04:34.24
What'd you think
of our cooking class?
00:04:34.48\00:04:37.15
They're wonderful you know.
00:04:37.75\00:04:39.18
They really are
wonderful because it shows you
00:04:39.78\00:04:42.63
that you can make a proper meal
00:04:43.03\00:04:45.00
with simple
things no fuss no muss
00:04:45.36\00:04:48.51
but really end
up with a good meal
00:04:48.72\00:04:50.51
that is going to
nourish your body.
00:04:51.15\00:04:53.00
And could anybody learn that?
00:04:54.06\00:04:55.48
Anybody!
00:04:56.06\00:04:57.06
Do they teach you that well?
00:04:57.51\00:04:59.03
I know Sally does a great job!
00:04:59.04\00:05:00.66
Sally is
fabulous! - She's fabulous!
00:05:00.67\00:05:02.42
She's absolutely fabulous.
- She's our cooking instructor
00:05:02.43\00:05:06.24
and has been for 25 years!
00:05:06.87\00:05:10.03
Yes, that's what she told
me, she's a wonderful lady!
00:05:10.06\00:05:12.06
Yes, she is really
a good Christian lady.
00:05:12.07\00:05:14.84
So you think
anyone can learn from her?
00:05:15.48\00:05:17.72
I think so. - Okay.
00:05:17.73\00:05:20.12
Some of the things we'll have
to adapt to our own environment.
00:05:20.33\00:05:23.51
But we can. It's very easy.
00:05:23.69\00:05:25.15
Well, like you
don't need to cook
00:05:25.54\00:05:27.42
as much in Jamaica
because it's already
00:05:27.51\00:05:29.81
so hot there, is
that what you mean?
00:05:30.15\00:05:31.87
Right, so we
can have cool meals.
00:05:32.09\00:05:34.30
And even Dr. Lukens showed us
00:05:34.63\00:05:37.48
some, maybe about 2
inch square sandwiches.
00:05:37.69\00:05:41.15
They're very easy to
make, light on the stomach
00:05:41.45\00:05:44.33
and very nutritious.
00:05:44.45\00:05:46.00
Did Dr. Lukens show
you how to fry the potatoes
00:05:46.15\00:05:49.12
and flip them in the pan!
00:05:49.45\00:05:51.27
Yes, he did, he did!
00:05:51.30\00:05:53.12
Yes, and he made
us glorious soup!
00:05:53.57\00:05:56.18
He's good! - Yes he is!
00:05:56.84\00:05:59.21
So, what else did you
like about the program?
00:05:59.54\00:06:03.03
The
hydrotherapy and the message?
00:06:03.04\00:06:05.00
Well, yes because those
really get some of the kinks
00:06:05.12\00:06:09.09
out of the muscles.
00:06:09.48\00:06:10.54
I think I liked the
whole environment here.
00:06:11.15\00:06:14.03
It's almost designed
00:06:14.60\00:06:17.66
for healing, for peace,
00:06:17.75\00:06:20.06
it's like a bomb for the soul.
00:06:20.12\00:06:24.75
The exercise,
Rich, again is wonderful
00:06:25.63\00:06:29.15
in really teaching us
00:06:29.36\00:06:32.30
about exercise and
how to pace yourself.
00:06:32.57\00:06:35.09
The layout of the place here
00:06:35.36\00:06:39.33
with the facilities for
walking and so on is wonderful!
00:06:39.60\00:06:43.18
It really is!
00:06:43.66\00:06:44.75
When you got here
were you able to walk much?
00:06:44.78\00:06:47.75
No, I could probably walk
00:06:47.87\00:06:51.15
3 yards. - 3
yards! You're serious?
00:06:52.36\00:06:55.69
Before I had a back ache.
00:06:55.70\00:06:56.87
Really? - Yeah.
00:06:57.09\00:06:58.15
And how far are you walking now?
00:06:58.39\00:07:00.00
2 1/2 without
pain. - 2 1/2 yards?
00:07:00.18\00:07:03.24
2 1/2 miles. - Oh, 2 1/2 miles!
00:07:03.45\00:07:05.78
Without the back ache.
00:07:05.81\00:07:07.21
So, no back ache,
you're walking 2 1/2 miles,
00:07:07.27\00:07:11.87
and did I hear you right you
said 3 yards when you arrived?
00:07:12.15\00:07:14.69
Yes. - Wow!
00:07:14.75\00:07:16.60
Now, what do you
attribute that too?
00:07:17.63\00:07:21.24
Part of it might
be the hydrotherapy.
00:07:22.51\00:07:25.06
I've really just
been motivated to walk.
00:07:25.51\00:07:28.12
Wow, praise God!
- Praise God indeed!
00:07:29.00\00:07:32.27
So, what did you like
best about being here?
00:07:33.69\00:07:37.60
It's hard to say any one thing.
00:07:39.15\00:07:44.30
Maybe if I were
honest I'd say the food.
00:07:46.18\00:07:48.66
The soups.
00:07:50.78\00:07:51.78
You are honest. - Oh,
00:07:51.79\00:07:52.78
they make some glorious soups!
00:07:52.79\00:07:54.30
Glorious soups! Wait
until you have the soup tonight!
00:07:54.31\00:07:58.27
You're going to be
pleasantly surprised!
00:07:59.06\00:08:01.57
Oh, I don't know!
00:08:01.58\00:08:02.75
Oh yes, it's the
best I've ever had!
00:08:02.87\00:08:04.81
It is? - And I know
00:08:04.82\00:08:05.81
they're going
to have it tonight!
00:08:05.82\00:08:07.33
At the graduation supper!
00:08:08.00\00:08:10.15
Yes they are!
00:08:10.42\00:08:11.42
I've been meaning to stop supper
but I cannot give up the soups!
00:08:11.48\00:08:15.09
No, you don't need to!
00:08:15.12\00:08:18.06
I need to because I
need to lose weight.
00:08:18.75\00:08:20.81
Just don't eat so much bread.
00:08:22.09\00:08:24.33
I haven't had
hardly any bread at all.
00:08:25.00\00:08:26.45
And don't have any butter.
00:08:26.60\00:08:27.84
I hardly eat butter. - No fats.
00:08:28.42\00:08:30.57
Well, if I give up
meat then that will follow.
00:08:31.45\00:08:36.66
Or the fried food.
00:08:37.75\00:08:38.81
What do you mean
if you give up meat?
00:08:38.87\00:08:40.45
You've given up
meat the last 17 days!
00:08:40.46\00:08:43.00
I know!
00:08:43.01\00:08:44.00
So you're not going
to go back there are you?
00:08:44.27\00:08:46.78
Well, the way to hell is
paved with good intentions.
00:08:46.81\00:08:49.24
I'm glad you said that.
00:08:52.39\00:08:54.06
But we have to remember
that we have the knowledge
00:08:55.33\00:08:59.06
and the where with all.
- Yes, that's important.
00:08:59.09\00:09:01.69
And God has given us the way we
00:09:01.81\00:09:06.21
just have to
follow His instruction.
00:09:06.22\00:09:08.06
And you know the
thing is if we buy a car
00:09:08.51\00:09:12.42
and the manufacturer says
put diesel in it we put diesel.
00:09:12.78\00:09:17.21
If we accept that God is
our creator or manufacturer,
00:09:17.72\00:09:23.12
and He says put such
and such in your body,
00:09:23.36\00:09:26.60
why do we put
other things in there?
00:09:27.00\00:09:29.15
We're funny
creatures. - We're funny.
00:09:30.24\00:09:32.15
I can only say
that so many of us,
00:09:32.30\00:09:35.30
myself included,
00:09:35.31\00:09:36.63
didn't know about the basic
00:09:37.18\00:09:39.54
nutritional diet that is in the
00:09:40.00\00:09:42.12
first book of the
bible. - That's right!
00:09:42.13\00:09:44.69
God said to Adam and Eve,
you can have any of this to eat
00:09:45.24\00:09:49.18
this will be meat for you.
00:09:49.36\00:09:51.42
Very early in the day He told
00:09:51.75\00:09:53.39
us what to do. - That's right!
00:09:53.40\00:09:55.03
So, we've got
to follow his lead!
00:09:55.30\00:09:57.24
Can I hear an amen?
00:09:57.60\00:09:59.30
Amen my brother!
- Alright my sister!
00:09:59.45\00:10:02.45
I'm so glad you came here and my
00:10:02.63\00:10:05.27
prayers are going to
continue to be with you!
00:10:05.72\00:10:09.03
That God keep his
hand on you and bless you
00:10:09.24\00:10:11.75
and for always.
00:10:12.03\00:10:15.06
God's blessings for you too.
00:10:15.87\00:10:18.15
Thank you, sister.
00:10:18.18\00:10:19.54
And thank you
friends! Don't go away,
00:10:19.72\00:10:21.69
we have an important
tip for you following this!
00:10:21.70\00:10:24.78
Well you've done very well.
00:10:26.39\00:10:27.81
Do you have
diabetes, heart disease,
00:10:34.54\00:10:36.75
high blood pressure
or do you weigh too much?
00:10:36.76\00:10:39.78
Hi, My name is Doctor Ing
and I'd like to tell you about
00:10:40.45\00:10:43.06
our 18 day
NEWSTART lifestyle program.
00:10:43.07\00:10:46.27
It includes a
comprehensive medical evaluation
00:10:47.00\00:10:49.60
with laboratory studies
and a exercise stress test,
00:10:49.61\00:10:52.84
physician consolations,
00:10:52.85\00:10:55.45
culinary school,
00:10:55.46\00:10:57.09
and an opportunity to
walk on beautiful trails
00:10:57.60\00:11:00.54
in the foothills of the sierras.
00:11:00.66\00:11:03.00
Your health is one of the most
important things that you have.
00:11:04.48\00:11:07.51
Don't wait. Give us a
call or visit our website.
00:11:07.52\00:11:15.03
Welcome back
friends and as I promised,
00:11:32.39\00:11:35.12
Dr. Lukens!
00:11:35.48\00:11:37.03
It's good to see you!
It's always good to see you!
00:11:37.84\00:11:41.18
Every time I see
you around campus
00:11:41.30\00:11:43.00
you always have a
nice prayer for me
00:11:43.01\00:11:45.51
and we get to have
fellowship and I like that!
00:11:45.63\00:11:49.15
It's wonderful even though
it's short and you have some
00:11:49.18\00:11:51.30
exciting stuff that you've
been telling me about too!
00:11:51.31\00:11:54.09
Oh yes, I do have
some exciting stuff!
00:11:54.12\00:11:56.33
Should I share it?
00:11:56.34\00:11:57.45
Sure, absolutely!
00:11:57.66\00:11:58.87
Well at the end of our
last Reversing Diabetes program,
00:11:58.88\00:12:02.42
of which I am the director,
00:12:02.43\00:12:04.33
I decided because
of Dr. Lukens advice
00:12:04.69\00:12:08.63
to cut out all fat. I
mean excess oils and fats,
00:12:08.87\00:12:13.00
every drop! - Every drop!
00:12:13.01\00:12:15.03
Just about.
00:12:15.04\00:12:16.09
That doesn't mean avocados.
00:12:16.72\00:12:19.60
No, avocados, oil, olives,
00:12:19.61\00:12:23.09
oil in the olives, and
nuts is all good stuff!
00:12:24.57\00:12:29.57
But I cut out all
the rest and I lost
00:12:29.78\00:12:32.84
7 more pounds!
00:12:33.18\00:12:34.75
You still look good.
00:12:35.51\00:12:36.57
Isn't that something? - Yeah.
00:12:36.72\00:12:37.87
Am I photogenic?
00:12:38.75\00:12:40.75
Oh, yeah!
00:12:40.84\00:12:42.03
Well I'm so blessed
because along with that
00:12:43.60\00:12:46.03
my energy has been up,
00:12:46.48\00:12:48.00
I've been able to walk faster,
00:12:48.33\00:12:50.24
I'm on the treadmill, I'm on
00:12:51.51\00:12:53.06
the half mile
loop, I feel better!
00:12:53.07\00:12:55.75
Well we knew you would.
00:12:56.24\00:12:57.54
And esselstyn would've
said, man you're right on.
00:12:58.00\00:13:01.72
Yes, and my next blood draw
you're going to be proud of me
00:13:02.03\00:13:05.57
I know my numbers are
going to come way down.
00:13:05.84\00:13:08.03
Well I'm already proud
of you. - Well thank you.
00:13:08.04\00:13:10.69
So, lets get on
with the interview.
00:13:10.84\00:13:12.27
Yes. - I think they're
00:13:12.30\00:13:13.33
recording this right now!
00:13:13.34\00:13:14.45
Oh, well that's
great, you just testified!
00:13:14.46\00:13:17.09
To all the people!
00:13:18.12\00:13:19.12
Let's talk about Lorna!
00:13:19.24\00:13:20.78
Yeah, this is
really exciting because
00:13:21.75\00:13:25.15
in her situation she
comes all the way from Jamaica.
00:13:25.42\00:13:29.06
Jamaica man?
00:13:29.54\00:13:30.54
Yeah.
00:13:30.55\00:13:31.54
I had a little stone
that they painted for me
00:13:32.75\00:13:35.51
and there were three
ladies from Jamaica and it says,
00:13:35.52\00:13:38.45
from the ladies in
Jamaica, no problem man!
00:13:40.06\00:13:43.39
You would say, how could
anyone be sick in Jamaica?
00:13:44.54\00:13:47.57
They have the sunshine
and all of that good stuff.
00:13:47.58\00:13:50.54
The thing is that their
lifestyle isn't always the best.
00:13:50.72\00:13:53.66
As the days and
the years progress
00:13:54.00\00:13:56.78
they're doing less
exercise, they're eating more
00:13:57.15\00:13:59.57
of the refined
foods. She told me
00:14:00.03\00:14:02.81
about how it was
when she was a little kid
00:14:02.82\00:14:05.15
it wasn't like this. But
anyway, here she comes in
00:14:05.42\00:14:08.78
and she was overweight
00:14:09.15\00:14:11.15
she was over 200
pounds but not very much.
00:14:11.72\00:14:14.36
Now she's just under
200 pounds and she was
00:14:14.54\00:14:16.69
disappointed that she
didn't lose a lot of weight.
00:14:16.70\00:14:19.21
But she admitted that
her clothes are looser now.
00:14:19.42\00:14:21.72
And you told her that
does happen sometimes.
00:14:21.75\00:14:25.45
That lady that lost
the four dress sizes
00:14:25.69\00:14:28.03
she was here when it
was a four week session
00:14:28.33\00:14:30.87
but we still have
people that do that.
00:14:31.45\00:14:33.87
Last session we had
a 73 year old that lost
00:14:34.18\00:14:37.60
3 inches around the girth.
00:14:38.00\00:14:39.57
And his nephew,
we talked about them,
00:14:39.81\00:14:43.00
his nephew lost 4
inches around the girth.
00:14:43.30\00:14:45.75
And they were up to
doing 10 miles a day
00:14:46.06\00:14:48.18
but everybody knows
how wonderful exercise is.
00:14:48.45\00:14:50.75
But the thing we
want to look at here
00:14:51.24\00:14:53.30
is that this lady
didn't have the clues,
00:14:53.75\00:14:56.81
tools, or the knowledge
00:14:57.30\00:15:00.42
and as the bible says,
where there is no vision
00:15:00.75\00:15:03.81
then there is failure.
00:15:04.63\00:15:05.75
Yes. - And so
00:15:06.06\00:15:07.36
she didn't have that
but now she understands it.
00:15:07.63\00:15:10.72
She came in on a full
replacement of insulin
00:15:11.15\00:15:14.30
and her fasting blood sugar
00:15:17.00\00:15:18.69
was 181.
00:15:19.24\00:15:20.60
Then she was on
another medication
00:15:21.15\00:15:23.69
that most people are
on which is the metformin
00:15:24.12\00:15:27.57
which keeps your
liver from dumping out sugar
00:15:27.87\00:15:31.60
and slows down the
absorption of sugar.
00:15:31.66\00:15:34.00
So, the numbers look better,
00:15:34.18\00:15:35.48
and there were two that I
didn't even know what they were.
00:15:35.69\00:15:38.21
Because they were brand names
00:15:38.63\00:15:40.45
from Jamaica so
we found out that
00:15:40.46\00:15:42.42
that one of them
was a Sulfonylurea
00:15:42.72\00:15:45.48
which keeps whipping the
pancreas until finally the
00:15:45.66\00:15:48.21
pancrease gives out.
00:15:48.48\00:15:49.51
"That's enough stop!"
00:15:49.52\00:15:51.27
The the last one was actos
which is one of the newer ones
00:15:51.28\00:15:55.33
and so we got her off 3 of
those and left her on the actos
00:15:55.78\00:16:01.66
the diabetologists say
now that that's the one that
00:16:02.09\00:16:05.06
is probably the safest.
She was on 4 medications
00:16:05.33\00:16:08.81
for her blood pressure.
00:16:09.24\00:16:10.30
One of them was one
of the new ones like
00:16:10.75\00:16:13.78
the one that helps the kidney
00:16:14.54\00:16:17.00
it doesn't help the kidney
but - It protects the kidney.
00:16:17.15\00:16:20.06
it protects the
kidney and it does somewhat
00:16:20.18\00:16:22.87
but it tells the kidney,
00:16:23.30\00:16:24.72
you need more
blood pressure? Shut up.
00:16:24.73\00:16:27.00
You see?
00:16:27.60\00:16:28.60
It keeps the kidney from
00:16:29.09\00:16:30.63
sending that
strong message up there.
00:16:30.64\00:16:33.03
We're suffering down here.
00:16:33.18\00:16:34.33
But it was also
doubled up with a diuretic
00:16:34.48\00:16:39.27
so when I get her blood
work back I see that her
00:16:39.57\00:16:43.18
potassium is pretty low.
00:16:43.39\00:16:45.60
In fact it could've
been dangerously low.
00:16:45.61\00:16:47.69
So when I found out what it was
00:16:48.06\00:16:50.36
we took her off of that one and
00:16:50.48\00:16:52.18
her potassium is
normal on the second draw.
00:16:52.45\00:16:55.15
We also took her
off the beta blocker
00:16:56.81\00:17:01.39
we got it from
00:17:01.84\00:17:03.39
100, it was
Atenolol which keeps the
00:17:04.66\00:17:08.00
heart from beating
stronger and faster.
00:17:08.01\00:17:10.09
Sometimes the people
feel a little lethargic
00:17:11.42\00:17:13.54
because their pulse
goes down below 60 sometimes
00:17:13.55\00:17:16.42
into the 50's and they
feel kind of draggy on that.
00:17:16.69\00:17:19.21
So I said, let's try it,
00:17:19.42\00:17:20.69
so I took her off of that one
00:17:21.00\00:17:22.54
but her blood
pressure went back up to
00:17:22.75\00:17:25.06
what it was when she came in
and we had gotten it down lower.
00:17:25.33\00:17:28.12
Yeah, but this was
without all those medications!
00:17:29.48\00:17:31.84
Yeah!
00:17:31.85\00:17:33.06
But then her pulse was
00:17:33.18\00:17:35.24
running a bit higher
so we put her back on that
00:17:35.39\00:17:38.57
and when she loses the weight
00:17:39.03\00:17:41.63
she will continue to have
the diabetes under control,
00:17:42.18\00:17:45.81
the blood
pressure under control,
00:17:46.21\00:17:47.87
and she's just
turned her life around.
00:17:48.27\00:17:49.78
She asked, what am I going
to tell my doctors when they
00:17:50.27\00:17:53.18
see all this stuff? They're
trying to protect my eyes.
00:17:53.51\00:17:56.15
I said, Lorna look,
00:17:56.63\00:17:58.06
they may want your
A1C's down in the seller
00:17:59.15\00:18:02.54
but when you do
that with all the insulin
00:18:02.87\00:18:05.15
you're not going to
be able to lose weight.
00:18:05.30\00:18:07.09
So now you've
got a dilemma here.
00:18:07.42\00:18:09.30
You've got your
A1C at a good area,
00:18:09.75\00:18:12.87
you've still
got all your weight,
00:18:13.27\00:18:14.54
you're still a diabetic
00:18:14.55\00:18:15.84
and so now you haven't
corrected the original problem
00:18:16.30\00:18:18.84
and your eyes are still going to
00:18:19.21\00:18:20.57
suffer from your
diabetic retinopothy
00:18:20.58\00:18:23.24
because you
couldn't get your weight off
00:18:23.48\00:18:26.69
you couldn't get out from
under the diabetes symptoms.
00:18:26.84\00:18:29.48
And she said, that's right.
00:18:29.69\00:18:31.39
She wants to do this and we got
00:18:32.18\00:18:34.09
to follow up and
keep her doing it.
00:18:34.10\00:18:35.75
So with her being
able to get off of
00:18:36.06\00:18:38.66
these medicines
especially the insulin
00:18:38.67\00:18:41.45
and get good blood sugars
00:18:42.00\00:18:43.51
and walk away from
the diabetes, literally,
00:18:44.36\00:18:47.45
walk away from diabetes
then when she goes in to see
00:18:47.72\00:18:51.48
her doctor even
if it isn't as low
00:18:51.69\00:18:55.18
she doesn't
have diabetes anymore
00:18:55.30\00:18:57.03
and her eyes will have a
00:18:57.27\00:18:58.69
chance to do as
well as they can.
00:18:58.70\00:19:00.63
That's what
people don't understand.
00:19:00.81\00:19:02.45
Now you've taken her off
of 3 diabetes medications?
00:19:02.72\00:19:06.75
3 diabetes medications and
3 blood pressure medications.
00:19:06.76\00:19:11.00
Do we often
times have the doctors
00:19:11.01\00:19:14.24
of these guests call you and
00:19:14.42\00:19:16.81
ask you questions?
00:19:16.84\00:19:18.15
I've got one that I've got
to call back now in fact we
00:19:18.16\00:19:21.30
interviewed her,
she's back in New
00:19:21.84\00:19:24.78
York and she was
dying when she came.
00:19:24.79\00:19:28.06
She had the cancer remember
00:19:28.27\00:19:30.15
after 20 years
it came back again.
00:19:30.16\00:19:32.42
Yes, I do remember.
00:19:32.43\00:19:33.66
She was so sick
she couldn't stand up,
00:19:33.69\00:19:36.51
she was throwing up, I
didn't know what was going on,
00:19:36.52\00:19:39.24
and it was a
family practitioner.
00:19:39.25\00:19:40.60
We know that if you give them a
00:19:41.00\00:19:42.33
theraputic holiday
maybe they will get better
00:19:42.34\00:19:44.54
and after several
days she was up and about
00:19:44.87\00:19:48.12
to do all these things
and so he wants to know
00:19:48.39\00:19:50.81
why she has gotten
off of all these medicines
00:19:51.12\00:19:54.06
but she's so much better
she wont go back on them.
00:19:54.30\00:19:56.36
Yes, praise God!
00:19:56.42\00:19:58.00
Do you feel
confident that Lorna has
00:19:58.33\00:20:01.72
the where with
all to continue on
00:20:02.06\00:20:04.27
this journey? -
You know that's why
00:20:04.28\00:20:05.27
we've got to
follow up with her but
00:20:05.28\00:20:06.69
she will keep
sending us that calender
00:20:07.09\00:20:10.51
and we can just
keep coaching her
00:20:11.03\00:20:14.21
it's not going
to be that easy but
00:20:14.45\00:20:16.09
as we keep doing that she's
00:20:16.54\00:20:18.09
going to remember
what she did here.
00:20:18.10\00:20:20.03
That's pretty dramatic
00:20:20.51\00:20:21.84
fasting while on
all of her medications
00:20:21.85\00:20:23.66
was 180
00:20:24.03\00:20:25.72
while having
the next one at 101.
00:20:25.73\00:20:28.24
And 101 on one medication.
00:20:28.39\00:20:30.66
Yes. - Exactly.
00:20:31.36\00:20:32.51
And then we've
taken her off of most
00:20:32.75\00:20:34.54
of the high blood
pressure medications?
00:20:34.55\00:20:36.42
Yeah, and we put her back on
the one to slow her heart down.
00:20:36.43\00:20:39.78
So when she loses the weight
she'll be off of that one too.
00:20:39.79\00:20:43.72
Praise God! - It's wonderful!
00:20:43.81\00:20:45.36
It is wonderful! -
Everybody should do it!
00:20:45.57\00:20:46.81
Yes!
00:20:47.15\00:20:48.15
Well Dr. Lukens I want to
00:20:48.51\00:20:50.21
thank you for
coming on the program
00:20:50.22\00:20:52.21
and enlightening us with
your wisdom and kindness.
00:20:52.51\00:20:55.72
Well the main thing
is the Great Physician
00:20:56.36\00:20:58.78
is the one that wants
us to do these things.
00:20:59.81\00:21:01.84
That's right and we
look to Him for all things!
00:21:01.85\00:21:04.33
And thank you
friends but don't go away,
00:21:04.87\00:21:08.03
we have a tip for
you right after this!
00:21:08.04\00:21:10.39
Hello, I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:21:11.60\00:21:13.72
You know helping a friend,
00:21:14.18\00:21:15.54
neighbor, or
relative have better
00:21:15.55\00:21:17.27
health is one of
the most practical
00:21:17.28\00:21:19.09
forms of health
ministry available.
00:21:19.10\00:21:21.18
However if you're
not a health professional
00:21:21.57\00:21:23.30
it can be
extremely difficult to know
00:21:23.31\00:21:25.33
how to help
someone access reliable,
00:21:25.34\00:21:27.69
credible, up to
date health information.
00:21:27.81\00:21:30.18
That's why I recommend
the NEWSTART Lifestyle Club.
00:21:30.75\00:21:34.03

ministry the NEWSTART

Hello and welcome
to NEWSTART At Home.
00:22:28.06\00:22:29.45
I'm your host, Don Mackintosh
we're glad you're with us.
00:22:29.46\00:22:31.69
And we're also
glad that we have Dr.
00:22:32.45\00:22:34.48
Doug Plata with us
today. Welcome doctor!
00:22:34.49\00:22:36.72
I appreciate it!
00:22:36.73\00:22:38.09
You are a specialist in family
00:22:38.10\00:22:40.00
practice but also
preventive medicine?
00:22:40.01\00:22:41.69
That's right.
00:22:41.70\00:22:42.69
And as we were talking you
said one of the most important
00:22:42.72\00:22:45.21
things for people to do is have
a consistant exercise program.
00:22:45.22\00:22:49.00
Why is that, how
can we get it started,
00:22:49.33\00:22:51.15
how can we make it stick?
00:22:51.16\00:22:52.27
Well, there's so
many benefits to exercise,
00:22:52.39\00:22:55.27
it's one of the most
00:22:55.28\00:22:56.27
powerful medicines that we have.
00:22:56.60\00:22:58.57
And it's important
for heart health and
00:22:58.58\00:23:01.21
so many different
things, even depression.
00:23:01.22\00:23:03.15
So, and the
other questions were?
00:23:03.84\00:23:05.78
How do we get it started
and how do we make it stick?
00:23:05.79\00:23:07.72
I think with most people
00:23:08.03\00:23:10.00
it's common sense we all need
to exercise on a regular basis.
00:23:10.24\00:23:14.06
Especially your
aerobic exercise, walking,
00:23:14.07\00:23:16.42
running, cycling,
these sorts of things.
00:23:16.43\00:23:18.39
Well how to get started,
00:23:20.81\00:23:22.54
what I would
recommend is for people to try
00:23:23.84\00:23:26.12
to find something
they're going to stick with.
00:23:26.13\00:23:29.18
And for me that is
something I find enjoyable.
00:23:29.19\00:23:31.66
There's nothing like,
00:23:32.12\00:23:33.12
oh I have to
get up and I have to
00:23:33.13\00:23:34.78
walk or jog or
something like this.
00:23:35.00\00:23:36.60
And if you don't like doing
that it's going to be difficult
00:23:36.61\00:23:38.87
to really keep doing that
00:23:38.88\00:23:40.75
month after
month, year after year,
00:23:40.84\00:23:42.69
like we need to do. So,
00:23:42.70\00:23:44.51
what I recommend
is make it enjoyable
00:23:44.72\00:23:48.36
so it's something
you look forward to.
00:23:48.37\00:23:50.39
What do you personally look
forward to in terms of exercise?
00:23:51.24\00:23:54.09
Well I found it and
for me it's cycling.
00:23:54.12\00:23:58.03
Now, being in
preventive medecine I actually
00:23:58.04\00:24:00.45
looked in the literature
and asked, how safe is this?
00:24:00.46\00:24:02.42
And unfortunately
cycling is not one of the safest
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.24
things but for me it's
one of the most enjoyable.
00:24:05.25\00:24:07.57
So I did buy a bicycle
00:24:08.12\00:24:10.60
and I got a route on
the street that is safe
00:24:10.84\00:24:15.30
very little traffic.
00:24:15.39\00:24:16.69
When I cycle I'm very
cautious about it because
00:24:17.06\00:24:19.66
I'm out there to get
exercise and for my health
00:24:19.67\00:24:22.66
and obviously an injury
is not at all healthful.
00:24:22.69\00:24:25.21
Right, so walking?
00:24:25.24\00:24:26.84
Walking is one of the best if
it's something you enjoy doing.
00:24:27.48\00:24:31.81
Walking is relatively safe.
00:24:32.03\00:24:34.75
It's not pounding, it's
not damaging to the knees.
00:24:34.76\00:24:38.21
And it's
something anybody can do.
00:24:38.51\00:24:40.84
What do you need to
walk? You need a pair of shoes.
00:24:40.85\00:24:43.78
And a safe place.
00:24:44.33\00:24:45.33
My problem, just a
little confession here,
00:24:47.45\00:24:49.57
is when I was growing up
00:24:49.58\00:24:51.00
most of my exercise was
00:24:51.72\00:24:53.15
related to sports
or activities where
00:24:53.16\00:24:55.81
there were
other people involved.
00:24:56.09\00:24:57.27
Right.
00:24:57.28\00:24:58.27
And then we you get to a certain
00:24:58.28\00:25:00.21
stage in life
sometimes you don't have,
00:25:00.22\00:25:02.39
I'm not saying I
don't have friends,
00:25:03.36\00:25:05.00
but you don't
have that same setup.
00:25:05.15\00:25:07.48
Right.
00:25:07.49\00:25:08.48
So what would you
say to people like me?
00:25:08.60\00:25:11.69
Like you, sure.
00:25:12.03\00:25:13.03
I think the social
dimension to exercise
00:25:14.45\00:25:17.09
can be very important
as a motivating factor.
00:25:17.10\00:25:20.30
If you know that somebody is
00:25:20.51\00:25:22.15
expecting to meet
you at 8 in the morning
00:25:22.16\00:25:24.36
are you going to get out
of bed and go? Yes you will.
00:25:24.54\00:25:27.18
Whereas if you don't
have an exercise partner.
00:25:27.33\00:25:29.45
So with a good
friend you can have
00:25:29.54\00:25:32.09
a lot of fun
talking with them and
00:25:32.10\00:25:33.78
I think that's a
very important thing.
00:25:34.06\00:25:36.00
Studies actually show if
you have an exercise partner
00:25:36.12\00:25:38.15
you're more likely to be
consistant with that exercise.
00:25:38.16\00:25:41.06
What about a dog?
00:25:41.07\00:25:42.06
I was going to mention a dog.
00:25:42.07\00:25:43.33
A dog is great, I think
it's also a wonderful thing
00:25:45.06\00:25:49.24
and dogs need to be
walked so you feel an
00:25:49.57\00:25:52.72
obligation to make
sure you walk the dog.
00:25:52.73\00:25:55.15
That's right.
00:25:55.16\00:25:56.15
Just be careful. I used to
jog with a dog and it would
00:25:56.16\00:25:59.60
like to run into me and of
course that was very dangerous.
00:25:59.61\00:26:02.21
Yeah, I remember working in the
ER once and this lady had a huge
00:26:02.33\00:26:06.24
great dane
00:26:06.48\00:26:09.78
and I would say make
sure you have a short leash.
00:26:10.00\00:26:13.48
This dog had a
big long leash and the
00:26:13.49\00:26:15.63
lady didn't see
the dog start to run
00:26:15.64\00:26:18.06
and when she
turned around it had
00:26:18.42\00:26:19.72
already built up steam and
00:26:19.73\00:26:21.81
she actually fell over
and it drug her down the road.
00:26:22.21\00:26:24.15
Who's walking who?
00:26:25.00\00:26:26.00
Exactly, and it's not funny
at all she was really injured.
00:26:26.01\00:26:29.48
So just be careful with dogs.
00:26:29.60\00:26:31.63
So, start it and
then stick with it
00:26:31.78\00:26:34.03
with the social
things and maybe a pet.
00:26:34.04\00:26:37.15
Anything else?
00:26:37.16\00:26:38.15
Yeah, let me mention
something about safety.
00:26:38.16\00:26:40.30
And that is that
some people live in a
00:26:41.24\00:26:44.12
neighborhood where
maybe they don't feel safe
00:26:44.13\00:26:46.24
walking around the neighborhood.
00:26:47.69\00:26:49.00
And in that sort
of situation if you're
00:26:49.54\00:26:51.84
walking with a
partner you'll feel safer.
00:26:51.85\00:26:54.24
But often times at malls there's
00:26:54.57\00:26:58.33
walking groups that
you can find out about.
00:26:58.36\00:27:02.48
And if it's raining or
something like that again,
00:27:02.81\00:27:07.06
malls are a good place to go.
00:27:07.07\00:27:08.36
Pools, swimming?
00:27:08.37\00:27:09.39
Swimming pools,
another good form of exercise,
00:27:09.48\00:27:12.06
not so good in
building up strong
00:27:12.07\00:27:13.75
bones but aerobically very good.
00:27:13.76\00:27:15.84
We've been talking to Dr.
Doug Plata about exercise.
00:27:16.57\00:27:19.81
You need to start
and stick with it.
00:27:19.87\00:27:22.33
And we have some very
00:27:22.34\00:27:23.42
practical ideas on
how to do that now.
00:27:23.43\00:27:24.75
