How long we've been doing this? 00:12:13.25\00:12:16.47 Well, we're doing for several years 00:12:16.50\00:12:18.45 this makes about 140 that would done. 00:12:18.48\00:12:22.01 This is an exciting case. 00:12:22.04\00:12:24.22 This is very exciting, and I'm so happy 00:12:24.25\00:12:27.75 and I got such a nice connection with this guy. 00:12:27.78\00:12:30.87 I want to stick with him. Some years past, yeah. 00:12:30.90\00:12:32.72 Yes. He goes by Bob, Bob Estrada. 00:12:32.75\00:12:36.68 Right. 00:12:36.71\00:12:37.75 And he came here probably because he had 00:12:37.78\00:12:42.03 what we call intractable pain or just, 00:12:42.06\00:12:44.92 he just can't stand the pain. 00:12:44.95\00:12:47.79 He has had this for eight months. Ouch. 00:12:47.82\00:12:51.82 But he has one thing it's working on in his favor 00:12:51.85\00:12:55.81 and one thing this working against him. 00:12:55.84\00:12:57.85 He can get himself into a position 00:12:57.88\00:13:00.62 where he is totally comfortable 00:13:00.65\00:13:03.06 but what he can't do is he can't walk. 00:13:03.09\00:13:04.72 Ouch. 00:13:04.75\00:13:05.78 He said it's a marathon for him to go from his car 00:13:05.81\00:13:09.25 into his office where he's doing business consultations. 00:13:09.28\00:13:13.76 And he says when he gets it's just excruciating. 00:13:13.79\00:13:17.53 So, that is what really initiated him 00:13:17.56\00:13:21.69 taking a step to get some help. 00:13:21.72\00:13:25.17 Is that correct? 00:13:25.20\00:13:26.26 Which he does, he almost says more but obesity. 00:13:26.29\00:13:30.28 Well, I can understand. 00:13:30.31\00:13:31.64 And that was something like could have helped 00:13:31.67\00:13:34.40 and he has had diabetes 00:13:34.43\00:13:36.66 and that's you know that hasn't been as long. 00:13:36.69\00:13:40.16 He's had a high blood pressure as high as 240/110. 00:13:40.19\00:13:45.02 You know that's-- 00:13:45.05\00:13:46.08 And you know you had issues like that. 00:13:46.11\00:13:48.68 I had issues like that. 00:13:48.71\00:13:50.49 But he's also had a stent 00:13:50.52\00:13:53.04 and he's had other cardiovascular events. 00:13:53.07\00:13:58.55 Is that true? Yeah, I didn't know. 00:13:58.58\00:13:59.77 I don't know evidently there is something 00:13:59.80\00:14:03.74 that's happening so forth but you know, 00:14:03.77\00:14:06.70 when he is going in what he will do 00:14:06.73\00:14:10.64 as he'll be put on this medicine 00:14:10.67\00:14:12.86 and if you can't tolerate he'll be put on that medicine 00:14:12.89\00:14:16.84 and what was really surprising to me is that 00:14:16.87\00:14:22.32 and here it is we ask, 00:14:22.35\00:14:23.81 we got this from Lifestyle Center of America. 00:14:23.84\00:14:26.86 We got the idea of fasting people for three days. Yes. 00:14:26.89\00:14:30.59 And some people come in and they don't even know that 00:14:30.62\00:14:36.60 this is vegan and they don't even know was vegetarian. 00:14:36.63\00:14:40.15 There is fasting. 00:14:40.18\00:14:41.41 And then they come in here and then we ask them to fast 00:14:41.44\00:14:44.35 and its like you know ah, 00:14:44.38\00:14:46.10 you know what do you try to do to me? 00:14:46.13\00:14:48.15 But they did really well, and they once were on it 00:14:48.18\00:14:52.39 and there we took them off of course all the medications. 00:14:52.42\00:14:56.54 If someone wants insulin we had to stop that and so forth. 00:14:56.57\00:14:59.42 So he was happy because he never has 00:14:59.45\00:15:02.14 he went on to januvia, he certainly didn't 00:15:02.17\00:15:04.88 ever want to have to go on to the insulin injections. 00:15:04.91\00:15:09.70 And so you know we had his attention and that was good. 00:15:09.73\00:15:13.79 Here's the question and I know the viewers 00:15:13.82\00:15:16.30 would like to hear the answer of this one. 00:15:16.33\00:15:18.65 Here is a case where out in the world if you will 00:15:18.68\00:15:24.56 typically doctors would say well take this pill 00:15:24.59\00:15:27.78 or that pill and it kind of hides what's going on 00:15:27.81\00:15:30.92 but what is the prognosis, 00:15:30.95\00:15:33.43 can this lifestyle change him entirely? 00:15:33.46\00:15:39.39 We know today I just got finished having the review 00:15:39.42\00:15:45.67 and I brought something from the University of Virginia 00:15:45.70\00:15:49.66 and there is a doctor over there he's doing, 00:15:49.69\00:15:51.97 I would say it was the carbon copy of what we're doing. 00:15:52.00\00:15:56.08 And so I highlighted that part on it and he says 00:15:56.11\00:15:59.07 you know what happens is when we give the insulin 00:15:59.10\00:16:02.41 and when we give the pills 00:16:02.44\00:16:04.87 and those it make the pancreas make more insulin and so forth. 00:16:04.90\00:16:08.69 He says it's counter productive. 00:16:08.72\00:16:10.96 He said we're just making those fat cells fatter 00:16:10.99\00:16:15.03 and in the long run it's going to be worst. 00:16:15.06\00:16:17.59 Ouch. But that's not gonna happen to Bob. 00:16:17.62\00:16:21.48 Bob whose gonna be-- 00:16:21.51\00:16:22.57 And tell me why because we're following our patient's heart. 00:16:22.60\00:16:25.81 That's right. 00:16:25.84\00:16:26.98 And I told him that I said you know Bob, 00:16:27.01\00:16:29.64 I'm gonna be contacting you, 00:16:29.67\00:16:31.23 I'm gonna want to come down and visit you. 00:16:31.26\00:16:33.36 I want to make sure that you stay on track. 00:16:33.39\00:16:36.15 What he's all for? 00:16:36.18\00:16:37.97 He is you know lot of times you talk to someone like 00:16:38.00\00:16:41.12 oh, yeah I can do this. 00:16:41.15\00:16:42.75 But he is committed. 00:16:42.78\00:16:44.33 And I really believe that this man will do well 00:16:44.36\00:16:47.90 and want to be fun in about six months 00:16:47.93\00:16:51.07 to get him back up here and do another-- 00:16:51.10\00:16:52.90 Yeah, Ron, we got it to do that. Yeah. 00:16:52.93\00:16:54.70 So doc, is there a hope for just all people 00:16:54.73\00:16:59.54 can anybody come here and get the services 00:16:59.57\00:17:04.10 that the Newstart program has and can they get well really? 00:17:04.13\00:17:11.15 You answer that for me because you get it. 00:17:11.18\00:17:14.45 Is this a very talk of question? Okay, I'm sorry. 00:17:14.48\00:17:17.55 Yeah, you know I had to answer a question because-- 00:17:17.58\00:17:20.73 You want me to answer but you can answer better 00:17:20.76\00:17:22.90 but I can't because you had essentially the same thing. 00:17:22.93\00:17:25.99 Yeah. Yes. 00:17:26.02\00:17:28.27 I make ridiculous statements a lot of times 00:17:28.30\00:17:30.64 but what I've seen over the years is people do this. 00:17:30.67\00:17:34.21 I would say 90%, 95% of the people can do it. 00:17:34.24\00:17:40.27 Some times we say in five years to ten years 00:17:40.30\00:17:45.32 you're gonna be, you know the medicines are gonna work 00:17:45.35\00:17:48.40 anymore we're gonna have to put you on insulin 00:17:48.43\00:17:51.09 but I haven't found that. 00:17:51.12\00:17:52.96 Yeah. I haven't found that. 00:17:52.99\00:17:54.82 You know, you're right. 00:17:54.85\00:17:55.96 I can answer that question and you know 00:17:55.99\00:17:59.81 I am so grateful and that's why I'm here. 00:17:59.84\00:18:02.48 That's why I am doing what I do today 00:18:02.51\00:18:04.82 because I am grateful to you and Dr. Wallace to Dr. Heng 00:18:04.85\00:18:09.32 to the many doctors who have helped us. 00:18:09.35\00:18:12.70 Since I've been involved and I've seen the many people 00:18:12.73\00:18:16.22 who have come here hopeless 00:18:16.25\00:18:20.11 thinking that that's it they're gonna lose their leg, 00:18:20.14\00:18:22.36 their eyes said or whatever and they leave here 00:18:22.39\00:18:26.16 and I don't want to use the word healed. 00:18:26.19\00:18:28.31 But they leave here-- On their way, yeah. 00:18:28.34\00:18:29.95 On their way with a changed of lifestyle. 00:18:29.98\00:18:34.10 And so I really want the viewers to get this 00:18:34.13\00:18:36.22 that you know they feel that they threaten 00:18:36.25\00:18:39.72 by a disease of some kind. 00:18:39.75\00:18:42.99 Reach out to one of our lifestyles centers. 00:18:43.02\00:18:45.70 Come here the new style of course 00:18:45.73\00:18:47.62 but there are other lifestyles centers that they can go to. 00:18:47.65\00:18:50.85 And these principles are in the Bible. 00:18:50.88\00:18:52.80 And Bible doesn't change and it gives us the truth. 00:18:52.83\00:18:55.30 Hasn't change in years. It's never gonna change. 00:18:55.33\00:18:58.63 Yeah. 00:18:58.66\00:18:59.79 You know, doc, so would Bob is there anything 00:18:59.82\00:19:06.03 that you had suggested for this nerve situation? 00:19:06.06\00:19:11.97 Yeah, he-- very soon he's gonna get an MRI 00:19:12.00\00:19:15.81 which you should have gone before and see these doctors, 00:19:15.84\00:19:21.08 he's helping with the finances are all his friends 00:19:21.11\00:19:23.68 and everything and he said that he'll go back 00:19:23.71\00:19:27.07 he has the chance to do it a natural way, 00:19:27.10\00:19:33.29 and he has a chance to do over surgery 00:19:33.32\00:19:35.19 and I think that if he does it in a natural way 00:19:35.22\00:19:39.12 because what's God amended 00:19:39.15\00:19:41.11 this problem is going to reverse. 00:19:41.14\00:19:46.00 It's gonna be reversed and then he will you know 00:19:46.03\00:19:49.27 he'll be able to live a good life without a lot of pain. 00:19:49.30\00:19:54.09 So, and-- And the other diseases as well. 00:19:54.12\00:19:57.16 Yes, yes and so in your estimation 00:19:57.19\00:20:01.37 what was the most significant change with Bob? 00:20:01.40\00:20:06.51 Well, he was there because this morning 00:20:06.54\00:20:09.13 when he took his fasting sugar he was 102, 00:20:09.16\00:20:13.86 he probably told you that. 00:20:13.89\00:20:14.95 Yes, he did. 00:20:14.98\00:20:16.08 And the thing is he said that 00:20:16.11\00:20:17.81 I just haven't had numbers like that. 00:20:17.84\00:20:19.82 Yeah. So, he is thrilled. 00:20:19.85\00:20:22.07 So now he is of all diabetes medication? 00:20:22.10\00:20:25.26 All diabetes and that the thing that surprised me was that 00:20:25.29\00:20:29.05 with all the pain that he is having 00:20:29.08\00:20:30.44 that is blood sugar's came under control 00:20:30.47\00:20:32.40 because usually any stresses or especially pain, 00:20:32.43\00:20:35.59 won't do but we had to put him back on his beta blocker 00:20:35.62\00:20:41.55 because when he's having that pain 00:20:41.58\00:20:43.56 his blood pressure would go up. 00:20:43.59\00:20:44.97 Ouch. 00:20:45.00\00:20:46.16 Yeah, but when he relaxed will come back down again. 00:20:46.19\00:20:49.04 How has his blood pressure 00:20:49.07\00:20:52.24 or has it changed in the last couple of weeks? 00:20:52.27\00:20:56.66 Yeah, it has we took him off one of his other medications. 00:20:56.69\00:21:00.26 It was for blood pressure 00:21:00.29\00:21:02.09 and he knows like today his blood pressure was high, 00:21:02.12\00:21:07.77 he was having a bad headache and so forth. 00:21:07.80\00:21:10.90 And so we got him to relax 00:21:10.93\00:21:13.00 and I checked him a little bit very casually 00:21:13.03\00:21:19.08 and I realize his blood pressure was up. 00:21:19.11\00:21:21.25 You know, I just got him to just totally relax 00:21:21.28\00:21:24.03 and he did and we took his blood pressure again 00:21:24.06\00:21:27.07 and it was normal. 00:21:27.10\00:21:29.23 When we see a situation like that do you prescribe 00:21:29.26\00:21:32.16 perhaps more massages, more hydro treatments? 00:21:32.19\00:21:36.51 You know in that scenario strategic that we can get into 00:21:36.54\00:21:39.42 but Dr. William Evans of university, Pennsylvania 00:21:39.45\00:21:43.72 said that the walking was the most important thing. 00:21:43.75\00:21:46.27 If your blood pressure is high 00:21:46.30\00:21:47.68 and you have a regular exercise program 00:21:47.71\00:21:49.88 you can give, you're going to live longer 00:21:49.91\00:21:52.56 and somebody who has a normal blood pressure 00:21:52.59\00:21:55.44 and they are just hadn't done. 00:21:55.47\00:21:56.79 Dr. Lukens, I want to thank you for coming here 00:21:56.82\00:21:59.12 and being on the set with us. 00:21:59.15\00:22:00.41 It's always a pleasure to talk with you. 00:22:00.44\00:22:02.77 And thank you friends, for being with us 00:22:02.80\00:22:04.92 but don't go away we have an important clip to follow. 00:22:04.95\00:22:08.45 Hi, I'm Dr. Randy Bivens. 00:22:15.14\00:22:17.69 Let's began with a puzzling thought. 00:22:17.72\00:22:19.92 A recent article by a financial analyst 00:22:19.95\00:22:22.17 suggests that it is now cheaper to eat 00:22:22.20\00:22:24.25 at a fast food restaurant than to cook at home. 00:22:24.28\00:22:27.55 I don't know about you, but the first thought 00:22:27.58\00:22:29.58 that cross my mind was how is this possible? 00:22:29.61\00:22:33.04 Has our food system really come down to this? 00:22:33.07\00:22:36.08 Shortly after the article was published 00:22:36.11\00:22:37.89 the New York Times published an op-ed 00:22:37.92\00:22:39.95 that compared to typical McDonald's meal for four people 00:22:39.98\00:22:43.21 against the meal of pinto beans and rice for four people. 00:22:43.24\00:22:46.60 Not only was the nutrition of the beans and rice 00:22:46.63\00:22:49.30 which included onion, pepper, and seasoning much better than 00:22:49.33\00:22:52.51 the McDonald's meal but was also 67% cheaper. 00:22:52.54\00:22:57.17 Recently, I heard someone say that 00:22:57.20\00:22:58.58 we should be eating more like our great grandparents. 00:22:58.61\00:23:01.05 Think about it, it makes a lot of sense. 00:23:01.08\00:23:03.41 Eating the way our great grandparents did 00:23:03.44\00:23:05.29 which significantly reduce the cost of food 00:23:05.32\00:23:07.67 for the average person. 00:23:07.70\00:23:09.19 Not to mention curtail our astonishingly 00:23:09.22\00:23:11.84 high intake of preservatives and hormones. 00:23:11.87\00:23:14.90 Take my great grandmother for example. 00:23:14.93\00:23:17.36 Nearly all of the meal she created 00:23:17.39\00:23:19.12 were made using her own food stuff. 00:23:19.15\00:23:21.54 She kept hundreds of quarts of fruits and vegetables 00:23:21.57\00:23:24.89 usually pluck from her very own garden. 00:23:24.92\00:23:27.40 Not only that, she and my great grandfather 00:23:27.43\00:23:29.84 could probably count on their hands the number of times 00:23:29.87\00:23:32.30 that they dined at restaurants each year. 00:23:32.33\00:23:35.14 She and my great grandfather would eat a huge breakfast, 00:23:35.17\00:23:38.78 a large lunch and a very small meal in the late afternoon. 00:23:38.81\00:23:43.55 They eat things that they could grow 00:23:43.58\00:23:45.39 and had a huge garden of variety of berries 00:23:45.42\00:23:48.73 and the large orchid. 00:23:48.76\00:23:51.43 The goal for those as trying to maintain 00:23:51.46\00:23:53.97 or improve our health is to prepare most of our foods 00:23:54.00\00:23:57.14 from ingredients that are healthy. 00:23:57.17\00:24:00.02 Ideally many of the products that we grew 00:24:00.05\00:24:02.18 in our own gardens or from a farmers market 00:24:02.21\00:24:04.80 or at the very least our pack full of chemicals and disease. 00:24:04.83\00:24:08.93 We like to tell people to shop at the edges of the store 00:24:08.96\00:24:11.39 because that's what how they could stuff with. 00:24:11.42\00:24:14.21 Things like fruits and vegetables, nuts and grains 00:24:14.24\00:24:17.17 are often found around the edge of the stores. 00:24:17.20\00:24:19.61 Ironically, the things in boxes 00:24:19.64\00:24:22.19 often live in the center of the store 00:24:22.22\00:24:24.08 and these are often highly processed 00:24:24.11\00:24:26.25 and the origins as well as their nutritional value 00:24:26.28\00:24:29.01 can be horrifying. 00:24:29.04\00:24:31.12 Strategies can be developed that make prep time 00:24:31.15\00:24:33.61 about the same is going to a fast food restaurant. 00:24:33.64\00:24:35.83 For example, you can cook a large meal 00:24:35.86\00:24:38.89 and store the second half of it 00:24:38.92\00:24:40.27 in your freezer for another day. 00:24:40.30\00:24:42.34 Cooking meals ahead of times and freezing them 00:24:42.37\00:24:44.54 is an excellent way to provide you 00:24:44.57\00:24:46.39 with an easy meal on a busy day. 00:24:46.42\00:24:49.32 Some foods which are used in many different dishes 00:24:49.35\00:24:51.59 can be prepared at the beginning of the week 00:24:51.62\00:24:53.74 and stored in a refrigerator. 00:24:53.77\00:24:55.60 This will save you the step of chopping 00:24:55.63\00:24:57.36 and cutting and peeling later on. 00:24:57.39\00:25:00.81 All timely time not money seems to be the biggest excuse. 00:25:00.84\00:25:05.16 People state that they simply do not have time to eat right. 00:25:05.19\00:25:08.46 They are too busy to shop for food and fix it for themselves. 00:25:08.49\00:25:12.05 If you're part of this group, consider this. 00:25:12.08\00:25:14.53 Calculations have shown that for every minute of exercise 00:25:14.56\00:25:18.90 you gain two minutes in longevity. 00:25:18.93\00:25:22.19 Doubtless the same positive adjustment would be found 00:25:22.22\00:25:25.17 when you choose to cook and eat healthy food 00:25:25.20\00:25:27.58 instead of a hyper processed food product tossed 00:25:27.61\00:25:30.42 into the deep fat fryer by a name with someone. 00:25:30.45\00:25:34.06 The average American regardless of income level 00:25:34.09\00:25:36.34 watches no less than 90 minutes of television per day. 00:25:36.37\00:25:40.35 Take 45 minutes of those TV watching minutes 00:25:40.38\00:25:43.54 and dedicate them to cooking yourself a beautiful dinner. 00:25:43.57\00:25:47.20 You'll be able to it do with time to spare I assure you. 00:25:47.23\00:25:49.86 The time is there, we simply need to prioritize. 00:25:49.89\00:25:54.26 Here are some simple rules 00:25:54.29\00:25:55.35 for eating healthy and living order. 00:25:55.38\00:25:58.96 Eat a large breakfast. 00:25:58.99\00:26:01.52 Eat 75% of your calories in the first two meals, 00:26:01.55\00:26:04.54 breakfast and lunch. 00:26:04.57\00:26:06.51 Have only a light meal in the evening 00:26:06.54\00:26:08.30 with food such as soup, cereal or small sandwich 00:26:08.33\00:26:11.71 mainly fruits that are easy to digest. 00:26:11.74\00:26:14.86 And remember to consume plenty of water. 00:26:14.89\00:26:18.17 Consume 10 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. 00:26:18.20\00:26:22.40 Eat a level handful of nuts each day. 00:26:22.43\00:26:26.28 20% of our calories now come from snack foods in America. 00:26:26.31\00:26:30.15 Eliminate snacks. 00:26:30.18\00:26:32.25 Choose whole grains, whole wheat bread, 00:26:32.28\00:26:34.47 whole grains cereals and brown rice. 00:26:34.50\00:26:37.14 Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages including fruit juice. 00:26:37.17\00:26:41.06 Eat more legumes.
