Every year in America
00:00:12.08\00:00:13.26
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:13.29\00:00:14.73
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.76\00:00:17.80
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.83\00:00:20.16
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:00:20.19\00:00:23.52
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:23.55\00:00:27.15
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.18\00:00:28.63
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually
00:00:28.66\00:00:30.46
add quality years to your life
00:00:30.49\00:00:31.94
rather than dying a
one organ at a time?
00:00:31.97\00:00:34.82
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause of
00:00:34.85\00:00:36.64
over million deaths per year.
00:00:36.67\00:00:39.18
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:39.21\00:00:41.08
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.11\00:00:44.07
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.10\00:00:47.49
Seriously now
they can be reversed
00:00:47.52\00:00:49.78
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

The Newstart programs

00:01:07.29\00:01:10.34
Hi, friends, and welcome to
00:01:13.54\00:01:15.22
another edition of Newstart Now.
00:01:15.25\00:01:17.48
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.51\00:01:20.50
In our studio
with me is Rick John,
00:01:20.53\00:01:23.65
a gentleman that's
been with us before.
00:01:23.68\00:01:26.46
So he's got a great story.
00:01:26.49\00:01:28.53
Stay with us to
listen to his testimony
00:01:28.56\00:01:31.75
and also to listen to Dr. Bivens
00:01:31.78\00:01:35.46
talk at the end of
this program about trust.
00:01:35.49\00:01:39.84
So let's break
away, take a look at when
00:01:39.87\00:01:42.29
Rick first arrived.
00:01:42.32\00:01:46.41
Well, I came to
Newstart because I was having
00:01:46.44\00:01:48.93
severe neuropathy
at that time in 2010
00:01:48.96\00:01:55.28
where I had almost
no ability to walk.
00:01:55.31\00:01:58.28
I could not even lift
my arms above my waist.
00:01:58.31\00:02:02.23
And after 18 days I
was walking five miles,
00:02:02.26\00:02:06.85
my arms had been released
and were strengthened again
00:02:06.88\00:02:11.74
and I left here
feeling on top of the world.
00:02:11.77\00:02:15.74
So not being able
to sleep very well,
00:02:15.77\00:02:19.15
the gaining of weight,
00:02:19.18\00:02:20.54
be again starting to
feel the apathy and tiredness.
00:02:20.57\00:02:26.44
It's almost like the
same warning signs I had
00:02:26.47\00:02:28.52
but I didn't do
anything about them.
00:02:28.55\00:02:30.33
Well, this time
I knew where to go.
00:02:30.36\00:02:32.50
Coming the first time
I was extremely cynical,
00:02:32.53\00:02:36.59
I didn't even know
what this place was about.
00:02:36.62\00:02:38.94
My family really pressured
me at gunpoint to come.
00:02:38.97\00:02:42.48
And when I came I
wasn't happy at all.
00:02:42.51\00:02:44.40
I was not a happy camper.
00:02:44.43\00:02:46.36
And after those 18 days,
miracles happened in my life
00:02:46.39\00:02:52.11
not just physically
00:02:52.14\00:02:53.81
but spiritually and
mentally and emotionally
00:02:53.84\00:02:58.07
that when I started
to get into trouble again
00:02:58.10\00:03:01.13
having some new health
issues that have come up
00:03:01.16\00:03:04.33
I knew exactly where to come
00:03:04.36\00:03:06.33
and I knew why I
needed to be here.
00:03:06.36\00:03:09.13
What I like to see happen
when I leave here this time,
00:03:09.16\00:03:12.85
I want to see a bigger
path, a longer path of health.
00:03:12.88\00:03:18.40
I think, when I first
came I was happy with results
00:03:18.43\00:03:22.66
and I was doing okay, but then
00:03:22.69\00:03:26.09
things got in the
way and you forget.
00:03:26.12\00:03:29.44
And this time I'm
prepared to come in here
00:03:29.47\00:03:33.06
and say I don't
want to go back again.
00:03:33.09\00:03:35.42
I don't need to
learn this lesson again.
00:03:35.45\00:03:37.72
So this is where I needed to be.
00:03:37.75\00:03:40.43
Welcome back,
friends, and as I promised
00:03:44.18\00:03:46.26
Rick, how are you my friend?
00:03:46.29\00:03:47.68
Very good, sir. Thank you.
00:03:47.71\00:03:48.83
It's good to see you again.
00:03:48.86\00:03:51.05
It's good to be back.
00:03:51.08\00:03:52.34
I mean, in some
ways, in some ways it's not
00:03:52.37\00:03:55.89
but I enjoy your company a lot.
00:03:55.92\00:03:58.18
Thanks.
00:03:58.21\00:03:59.29
And I know you have a
story to share with us
00:03:59.32\00:04:02.59
because you've
not only come through
00:04:02.62\00:04:04.95
the Newstart program
once, you've done it twice.
00:04:04.98\00:04:08.24
That's true. Why
did you do it twice?
00:04:08.27\00:04:12.36
Well, I didn't
plan it that way, Ron.
00:04:12.39\00:04:16.48
In 2013 I had a
pretty serious injury.
00:04:16.51\00:04:20.84
I ruptured my Achilles
00:04:20.87\00:04:23.15
so that I couldn't
walk for three months.
00:04:23.18\00:04:26.84
The other was a
serious family tragedy
00:04:26.87\00:04:30.06
that was devastating for me.
00:04:30.09\00:04:33.07
With the combination of both
you could say I lost my way.
00:04:33.10\00:04:38.18
And I'm not returning here
the way I was the first time
00:04:38.21\00:04:43.32
in terms of the
severity of my illnesses
00:04:43.35\00:04:46.21
but I came here
because this is where I knew
00:04:46.24\00:04:48.06
I wanted to be
to get back on track
00:04:48.09\00:04:50.81
and to get my health
where I need it to be.
00:04:50.84\00:04:56.03
Yeah, now when you at first--
00:04:56.06\00:04:57.89
Rick, I know you are
dealing with some neuropathy?
00:04:57.92\00:05:00.46
Correct.
00:05:00.49\00:05:01.53
Did that actually
comeback that you were
00:05:01.56\00:05:03.93
starting to get
numbness in your feet
00:05:03.96\00:05:06.14
and your hands or where?
00:05:06.17\00:05:07.97
The numbness never left.
00:05:08.00\00:05:09.47
It was degraded to
the point where I was now
00:05:09.50\00:05:14.23
more below my knees
00:05:14.26\00:05:16.32
but with the
stress of the family,
00:05:16.35\00:05:18.36
the injury it just seemed to
be mounting a large comeback.
00:05:18.39\00:05:24.58
And so those things
were indicators that
00:05:24.61\00:05:28.43
they reminded me where I was
00:05:28.46\00:05:30.34
and what I had
to do to get back.
00:05:30.37\00:05:32.23
Now what's that from,
what was the numbness from?
00:05:32.26\00:05:35.19
To this day there
still is no diagnoses.
00:05:35.22\00:05:37.21
The doctors here don't know.
00:05:37.24\00:05:38.45
They call it fibromyalgia.
00:05:38.48\00:05:40.35
They could call it
MS, they could call it--
00:05:40.38\00:05:41.80
MS or whatever.
00:05:41.83\00:05:43.48
Someday and I
hopefully it doesn't happen
00:05:43.51\00:05:45.25
that there will be a diagnoses.
00:05:45.28\00:05:46.32
Yes.
00:05:46.35\00:05:47.38
I would prefer
they're not big diagnoses
00:05:47.41\00:05:49.07
and I whip this
thing with God's help.
00:05:49.10\00:05:52.46
Now Rick, we know that you got
00:05:52.49\00:05:55.81
I use the term "not to loosely,"
00:05:55.84\00:05:58.92
better the first
time you are here.
00:05:58.95\00:06:01.68
Is it your hopes to
get better this time
00:06:01.71\00:06:04.68
and if that's the case my
mind tells me if you got better
00:06:04.71\00:06:09.65
if you just
stuck with this thing
00:06:09.68\00:06:12.37
drop the few more lbs,
really hit this thing hard,
00:06:12.40\00:06:16.38
start walking and every thing,
00:06:16.41\00:06:18.27
wouldn't in fact correct itself?
00:06:18.30\00:06:20.90
I think so. I believe so.
00:06:20.93\00:06:22.98
I was hoping you would say that
00:06:23.01\00:06:24.73
because there is a
sense that is so and--
00:06:24.76\00:06:31.91
so you were here once,
00:06:31.94\00:06:33.34
you come back the second time.
00:06:33.37\00:06:35.06
We know why you went off track,
00:06:35.09\00:06:38.61
now you're here
to get back on track.
00:06:38.64\00:06:40.72
What are you gonna
do different this time?
00:06:40.75\00:06:44.06
Well, you know, I think
when I was here the first time
00:06:44.09\00:06:46.73
I was happy with what I had.
00:06:46.76\00:06:48.57
In other words, there
is such a thing or a word
00:06:48.60\00:06:51.17
as its good enough.
00:06:51.20\00:06:52.69
Yeah.
00:06:52.72\00:06:53.75
And I think I
realized that good enough
00:06:53.78\00:06:55.47
wasn't really
good enough for me.
00:06:55.50\00:06:58.82
And it didn't
take much of a punch
00:06:58.85\00:07:00.97
from life to knock me down.
00:07:01.00\00:07:05.05
And so doing it the second time
00:07:05.08\00:07:08.25
I want to do it
for different reason
00:07:08.28\00:07:10.56
in that I want this to
be-- I want to keep growing.
00:07:10.59\00:07:14.70
I want to-- I want to
keep climbing the ladder.
00:07:14.73\00:07:17.30
I got a pie enough on the ladder
00:07:17.33\00:07:18.83
I was pretty happy with,
00:07:18.86\00:07:20.63
but I realized that I need to go
00:07:20.66\00:07:22.23
a lot higher on that
ladder to sustain this.
00:07:22.26\00:07:25.31
So that's why I'm here.
00:07:25.34\00:07:27.22
You know, that's
a-- I had a visual
00:07:27.25\00:07:30.14
while you said I need
to go higher on that ladder
00:07:30.17\00:07:32.67
and the visual you gave me is
00:07:32.70\00:07:35.34
if we are on a 10 foot ladder
00:07:35.37\00:07:37.44
and I would say
a 100 foot ladder
00:07:37.47\00:07:40.43
and you went up to the
60 feet and you slip back
00:07:40.46\00:07:43.27
and now you are in the slum.
00:07:43.30\00:07:46.09
My mind says if you
went to the 100 feet
00:07:46.12\00:07:48.26
you slipped back it
would still be okay.
00:07:48.29\00:07:51.41
That's a good, that's
the way I'm looking at.
00:07:51.44\00:07:53.07
I think that's
where I want to be.
00:07:53.10\00:07:54.89
I want to be-- But I
don't want you to slip.
00:07:54.92\00:07:56.90
But I don't want
to stop climbing.
00:07:56.93\00:07:58.38
I know. Yeah.
00:07:58.41\00:07:59.56
So we got it-- that
ladder has to be infinite.
00:07:59.59\00:08:04.66
Well, you know,
being away from here
00:08:04.69\00:08:07.29
you do forget a few things.
00:08:07.32\00:08:08.73
Sure.
00:08:08.76\00:08:09.79
Coming back it's no different
than continuing education.
00:08:09.82\00:08:12.96
Right.
00:08:12.99\00:08:14.02
You know, it's
not necessarily that I
00:08:14.05\00:08:17.84
no longer believe
the teachings here.
00:08:17.87\00:08:21.37
It's just that I
need to be reminded again.
00:08:21.40\00:08:24.38
And it's not for everybody,
00:08:24.41\00:08:25.71
some people can do
that within their own will,
00:08:25.74\00:08:27.95
other people I think like myself
00:08:27.98\00:08:30.57
I knew what it did
for me the first time
00:08:30.60\00:08:32.98
and I had a better-- I
came here with a better
00:08:33.01\00:08:35.38
overall feeling in
terms of what I expected.
00:08:35.41\00:08:40.27
And a better attitude.
00:08:40.30\00:08:41.88
Much better
attitude as you remember.
00:08:41.91\00:08:44.76
You didn't come at gunpoint?
00:08:44.79\00:08:46.33
No, actually when
my wife suggested it,
00:08:46.36\00:08:49.51
it took about 10
seconds for me to say,
00:08:49.54\00:08:51.35
yeah, I can sure go.
00:08:51.38\00:08:52.41
Wow.
00:08:52.44\00:08:53.47
Where I was
kicking and screaming
00:08:53.50\00:08:54.86
coming the first time.
00:08:54.89\00:08:56.35
So the attitude
makes a big difference
00:08:56.38\00:08:58.01
I think in the way
you absorb the things
00:08:58.04\00:09:01.73
that they are teaching you.
00:09:01.76\00:09:03.82
Getting on the program quicker.
00:09:03.85\00:09:05.76
You know, when I got here
00:09:05.79\00:09:06.82
I was walking
more and more and more
00:09:06.85\00:09:09.01
than I did
before by twice as much.
00:09:09.04\00:09:12.80
Rick, what would you
have to say to those viewers,
00:09:12.83\00:09:17.44
there's plenty of
them that are afraid.
00:09:17.47\00:09:20.98
What they are afraid of is
00:09:21.01\00:09:22.39
right now they are
dealing with a situation,
00:09:22.42\00:09:25.13
what if it gets worse?
00:09:25.16\00:09:27.66
What could you
say to those people?
00:09:27.69\00:09:30.28
I've been there where you feel
00:09:30.31\00:09:34.40
somewhat hopeless
that you hope and pray
00:09:34.43\00:09:37.93
that it doesn't get any worse.
00:09:37.96\00:09:39.58
But you realize that
your life isn't very well.
00:09:39.61\00:09:42.07
It's not that great.
00:09:42.10\00:09:43.67
You are not happy.
00:09:43.70\00:09:45.71
You think you are but
until you get your health back,
00:09:45.74\00:09:49.53
do you realize what
happiness is all about.
00:09:49.56\00:09:51.98
That's what you find here.
00:09:52.01\00:09:54.10
And is that why
they should come here?
00:09:54.13\00:09:56.30
Absolutely.
00:09:56.33\00:09:57.75
Is there other
places they could go to
00:09:57.78\00:09:59.83
throughout the country?
00:09:59.86\00:10:01.03
I'm not aware of any.
00:10:01.06\00:10:02.09
Well, they are. Okay, you know.
00:10:02.12\00:10:04.07
I just thought I bring that up.
00:10:04.10\00:10:05.38
This is close to
my, close to the--
00:10:05.41\00:10:07.28
I live on the west
coast so this is close for me.
00:10:07.31\00:10:09.47
It makes sense to me.
00:10:09.50\00:10:11.30
And it's
convenient for lot of people
00:10:11.33\00:10:13.07
because there is trust
00:10:13.10\00:10:15.15
because of the number of years
00:10:15.18\00:10:16.90
that the Newstart
program has been here,
00:10:16.93\00:10:19.77
the number of years
that Weimar has been open
00:10:19.80\00:10:23.20
which is like 35 years now
or maybe it's greater than that
00:10:23.23\00:10:27.49
but nonetheless I do--
00:10:27.52\00:10:32.41
I would like to hear from you
00:10:32.44\00:10:35.75
a short
dissertation on the benefits
00:10:35.78\00:10:39.86
of just doing a Newstart program
00:10:39.89\00:10:43.19
in one minute or less.
00:10:43.22\00:10:46.96
In doing the Newstart program
00:10:46.99\00:10:49.44
it takes what
your lifestyle is like
00:10:49.47\00:10:52.59
and turns it upside down.
00:10:52.62\00:10:55.15
It gives you the
resources to understand
00:10:55.18\00:10:57.98
why you want to
clean up your life.
00:10:58.01\00:11:02.33
Why exercise makes you
feel better after you eat?
00:11:02.36\00:11:07.86
Why you want to
drink the amount of water?
00:11:07.89\00:11:10.52
Why you want to
get off medications?
00:11:10.55\00:11:12.95
Medications again
slip back in my life
00:11:12.98\00:11:16.50
because it was quick and easy
for doctors to deal with that.
00:11:16.53\00:11:19.03
If I'm feeling depressed,
00:11:19.06\00:11:21.07
if I'm having
high blood pressure
00:11:21.10\00:11:22.55
it's a
medication, it's a medication,
00:11:22.58\00:11:24.07
it's a medication.
00:11:24.10\00:11:25.47
It's a slippery slope.
00:11:25.50\00:11:27.26
And coming here, I
would say one of the things
00:11:27.29\00:11:32.27
that I did not
have the first time
00:11:32.30\00:11:34.81
is that with them getting off,
the few medications I was on
00:11:34.84\00:11:38.32
and now I'm not any
longer is I have clarity of mind
00:11:38.35\00:11:43.07
and that's something that
helps with your overall health.
00:11:43.10\00:11:45.66
When you have that clarity,
00:11:45.69\00:11:47.82
you can attack
this with vengeance.
00:11:47.85\00:11:52.20
So you have learned.
00:11:52.23\00:11:55.14
I better. You said--
00:11:55.17\00:11:56.59
I'm not gonna do
it a triple play here.
00:11:56.62\00:11:58.60
This is it.
00:11:58.63\00:11:59.66
You said, in your
testimony when we did that first
00:11:59.69\00:12:02.26
the little clip you looked
at that you hadn't learned
00:12:02.29\00:12:05.90
and you hope to
learn that this time.
00:12:05.93\00:12:08.98
It sounds to me like you
have and you've done a good job.
00:12:09.01\00:12:12.26
You have also a
huge responsibility,
00:12:12.29\00:12:14.93
you're taking this back home
00:12:14.96\00:12:16.90
to people and friends
and family that are going,
00:12:16.93\00:12:19.90
"Oh, Rick's back at
that program again."
00:12:19.93\00:12:23.31
When they see me coming back,
00:12:23.34\00:12:25.39
there will be more coming here.
00:12:25.42\00:12:27.51
As a matter of fact there
is already a couple of people
00:12:27.54\00:12:29.94
that decided to go
on the Weimar program
00:12:29.97\00:12:33.11
because I'm here as
their way to support me.
00:12:33.14\00:12:36.78
All right.
00:12:36.81\00:12:37.84
People who have been
here or know of the program
00:12:37.87\00:12:39.92
are starting it over
again because I'm here.
00:12:39.95\00:12:42.68
Rick, I want to thank you
so much for taking your time.
00:12:42.71\00:12:45.44
You're welcome.
00:12:45.47\00:12:46.71
God bless you.
God bless you too.
00:12:46.74\00:12:47.77
You know, I'll be in touch.
00:12:47.80\00:12:49.66
I'll be contacting
you from month to month.
00:12:49.69\00:12:52.10
I'll be waiting
for that phone call.
00:12:52.13\00:12:53.70
All right, buddy. Thanks.
00:12:53.73\00:12:54.97
And friends don't
go away because Dr. Ing
00:12:55.00\00:12:58.20
will be with us
in just a moment.
00:12:58.23\00:12:59.77
Welcome back, friends, in
our study with Dr. Clarence Ing.
00:13:32.25\00:13:35.62
It's a pleasure to be here.
00:13:35.65\00:13:37.19
It's my pleasure
to have you here.
00:13:37.22\00:13:38.94
Doctor, you are the
director at the Newstart program
00:13:38.97\00:13:42.41
and have been
for about 18 years.
00:13:42.44\00:13:44.59
Is that-- Not quite.
00:13:44.62\00:13:46.00
Not quite. Maybe 15 or 16.
00:13:46.03\00:13:47.83
Oh, 15 or 16.
00:13:47.86\00:13:49.38
Trying to
finish up my 17th year.
00:13:49.41\00:13:51.32
Okay.
00:13:51.35\00:13:53.09
Doctor what did you do prior
00:13:53.12\00:13:55.31
to coming to the
Newstart program?
00:13:55.34\00:13:57.52
Well, I'd been
missionary most of my life
00:13:57.55\00:14:00.65
and worked in Puerto Rico,
worked in the Marshall Islands
00:14:00.68\00:14:04.70
and Singapore.
00:14:04.73\00:14:06.42
And I have done
both ophthalmology
00:14:06.45\00:14:09.24
and also preventive medicine.
00:14:09.27\00:14:10.86
So I've been blessed, the
Lord gave me an opportunity
00:14:10.89\00:14:14.04
to get an MPH in nutrition.
00:14:14.07\00:14:16.72
My hospital gave
me an opportunity
00:14:16.75\00:14:19.02
to do another
residency in preventive medicine
00:14:19.05\00:14:21.16
so I have two specialties
00:14:21.19\00:14:22.88
and I now do lifestyle medicine
and medical ophthalmology
00:14:22.91\00:14:26.30
and enjoy them very much.
00:14:26.33\00:14:28.30
Now is there much
difference between
00:14:28.33\00:14:30.65
the typical doctor
that you might go to
00:14:30.68\00:14:33.75
out in the world that
takes your blood pressure
00:14:33.78\00:14:36.75
and gives you couple of pills
00:14:36.78\00:14:38.44
and the doctors that work here.
00:14:38.47\00:14:40.03
Well, you said the
biggest difference is
00:14:40.06\00:14:43.34
most of them try to take
care of your problem with pills
00:14:43.37\00:14:47.35
and we try to help
people improve their lifestyle
00:14:47.38\00:14:51.76
because many times by changing
and modifying their lifestyle,
00:14:51.79\00:14:55.69
they can get their
blood pressure under control
00:14:55.72\00:14:59.53
without having to use pills.
00:14:59.56\00:15:01.75
That brings us to Rick John,
00:15:01.78\00:15:04.82
two first names
interesting name.
00:15:04.85\00:15:07.93
I remember Rick because we--
if I don't know if you recall
00:15:07.96\00:15:11.68
we interviewed him
a couple of years back
00:15:11.71\00:15:14.70
and then he went home
00:15:14.73\00:15:16.64
and I guess he fell off
the wagon or so to speak.
00:15:16.67\00:15:21.80
Meaning he did not
continue his new lifestyle,
00:15:21.83\00:15:25.16
can you elaborate a little bit?
00:15:25.19\00:15:26.98
Well, that sometimes
happens to people, you know,
00:15:27.01\00:15:29.63
we encourage them to follow
the principles and do them
00:15:29.66\00:15:33.67
and sometimes they do
and sometimes they don't.
00:15:33.70\00:15:36.74
Something I've tried to
impress upon them I say,
00:15:36.77\00:15:40.06
I don't like you to
play something called
00:15:40.09\00:15:42.17
the "what if" game.
00:15:42.20\00:15:44.58
Now "what if" game
goes like this, you know,
00:15:44.61\00:15:47.09
you go home and few
years later whatever
00:15:47.12\00:15:50.60
you're afflicted
with some problem
00:15:50.63\00:15:52.52
or your problem has
come back and maybe worse
00:15:52.55\00:15:55.69
and they say, what if I
had followed all the advice
00:15:55.72\00:16:00.18
that doctor Lucan's and Dr. Ing
and the Newstart team gave me
00:16:00.21\00:16:04.41
but I now be where I'm.
00:16:04.44\00:16:06.41
So I said, please
don't play that game.
00:16:06.44\00:16:10.68
I haven't played that game.
00:16:10.71\00:16:13.33
Fortunately for
me. Congratulations.
00:16:13.36\00:16:16.52
But you know, Rick tells me
that this time is different.
00:16:16.55\00:16:21.34
I think he is a lot
more serious about his life
00:16:21.37\00:16:24.92
than he was the first time.
00:16:24.95\00:16:26.79
The first time
he had an attitude
00:16:26.82\00:16:28.71
oh, well, I don't know,
and he shares that with me.
00:16:28.74\00:16:31.99
He says, I don't know this
is gonna work, I don't know.
00:16:32.02\00:16:35.46
But why are people I know
for me what the reason was
00:16:35.49\00:16:39.87
but why has Rick come back
this time with an attitude of,
00:16:39.90\00:16:44.27
this time I'm gonna do it.
00:16:44.30\00:16:45.92
Is something happened that--
00:16:45.95\00:16:47.63
Well, he probably
doesn't want to have
00:16:47.66\00:16:49.76
the medical
problems that he is facing.
00:16:49.79\00:16:52.53
And you now, you get serious
00:16:52.56\00:16:54.93
you need to make some changes.
00:16:54.96\00:16:56.38
One of the things we found
out that people with diabetes
00:16:56.41\00:16:59.33
when they, you know, if they
done really well the first time
00:16:59.36\00:17:03.97
and they start to revert
to their former lifestyle
00:17:04.00\00:17:08.82
it's much harder to get their
diabetes under good control
00:17:08.85\00:17:12.05
if they kind of wandered away.
00:17:12.08\00:17:14.23
You know, you get a good chance
00:17:14.26\00:17:15.90
and if you take
that first chance
00:17:15.93\00:17:17.62
they usually do very, very well.
00:17:17.65\00:17:19.67
If they wander back and forth,
00:17:19.70\00:17:22.59
it's harder to come
back and get the same results
00:17:22.62\00:17:25.43
in the second and third times.
00:17:25.46\00:17:27.81
So it's fair to say that
Rick didn't keep the lifestyle
00:17:27.84\00:17:34.31
but still what
has changed this time,
00:17:34.34\00:17:37.37
have we taken him
off any medications?
00:17:37.40\00:17:41.41
How much weight has he lost?
00:17:41.44\00:17:43.38
Have we spoken to
him since he is left?
00:17:43.41\00:17:46.50
Anything you
could fill us in with?
00:17:46.53\00:17:48.31
Well, he lost 17
pounds while he was here.
00:17:48.34\00:17:52.21
He stopped his
blood pressure medicine.
00:17:52.24\00:17:54.10
His blood pressure
is pretty much better
00:17:54.13\00:17:57.25
when he got
finished with the program.
00:17:57.28\00:18:00.06
I did talk to him today
00:18:00.09\00:18:01.85
and he is continued
to follow the principles
00:18:01.88\00:18:04.68
and so he is doing very well
00:18:04.71\00:18:06.61
and he is very
pleased with his progress
00:18:06.64\00:18:08.69
and what he came
and what he has done.
00:18:08.72\00:18:11.20
And I'm relatively
certain his intention
00:18:11.23\00:18:15.18
to continue to do
this and stick with it.
00:18:15.21\00:18:17.74
I kind of got
that feeling myself
00:18:17.77\00:18:19.91
that he is pretty
serious about this.
00:18:19.94\00:18:22.53
What a nice man.
00:18:22.56\00:18:25.63
I really grown found
of him while he was here
00:18:25.66\00:18:28.47
and when he was away.
00:18:28.50\00:18:32.17
Doctor, what can you
share with our viewers
00:18:32.20\00:18:35.20
that might encourage them--
I'm speaking of the people
00:18:35.23\00:18:39.96
who perhaps are overweight
and have high blood pressure
00:18:39.99\00:18:44.66
and even diabetes or
anyone with the diseases,
00:18:44.69\00:18:49.25
a lifestyle kind of diseases.
00:18:49.28\00:18:51.93
Well, those are
three very common problems
00:18:51.96\00:18:55.70
in our population.
00:18:55.73\00:18:57.17
Diabetes, 26% of those
over age 65 have diabetes
00:18:57.20\00:19:04.09
and probably two thirds of
them have high blood pressure
00:19:04.12\00:19:07.41
and we found that
again with lifestyle
00:19:07.44\00:19:09.32
that we can make a
significant impact.
00:19:09.35\00:19:11.40
With diabetes and the protocol
00:19:11.43\00:19:14.33
that we use here with our
patients with Type 2 diabetes
00:19:14.36\00:19:17.57
we found that about 40% of them
can have normal blood sugars
00:19:17.60\00:19:22.52
if they follow the protocol
100% without any medication.
00:19:22.55\00:19:27.16
And if those who
still need to use medicine
00:19:27.19\00:19:30.01
we can get that 60% they
usually can have better control
00:19:30.04\00:19:35.36
with less medication.
00:19:35.39\00:19:37.04
So all in all those
are very good results.
00:19:37.07\00:19:40.17
Absolutely.
00:19:40.20\00:19:42.18
And people can practice
lifestyle at their home.
00:19:42.21\00:19:47.04
Do they need to come to a
place like Newstart, Weimar.
00:19:47.07\00:19:51.87
Well, if you are
very strong willed
00:19:51.90\00:19:53.69
and you are from Minnesota
00:19:53.72\00:19:57.79
you may be able to
be strong willed enough
00:19:57.82\00:19:59.95
so that you can just
read about it and do it.
00:19:59.98\00:20:02.34
But if you are like the
average American 97%-98%
00:20:02.37\00:20:07.88
all the rest they
would probably do much better
00:20:07.91\00:20:10.91
if they come to Newstart
because we can help them,
00:20:10.94\00:20:13.66
introduce them
to the principles,
00:20:13.69\00:20:15.87
work with them,
teach them how to prepare
00:20:15.90\00:20:18.44
and enjoy a
good plant based diet
00:20:18.47\00:20:22.53
and see all the
advantages that happen
00:20:22.56\00:20:24.32
when they follow
these principles.
00:20:24.35\00:20:27.65
There was a
gentlemen, a doctor gentleman
00:20:27.68\00:20:29.83
who died several years
back that had a lifestyle
00:20:29.86\00:20:36.46
if you will by
eating lots of protein
00:20:36.49\00:20:39.94
and the people I
talk to on a daily basis
00:20:39.97\00:20:43.51
they all have a similar story,
00:20:43.54\00:20:45.06
my doctor said,
my dietician said
00:20:45.09\00:20:47.99
to eat this much
protein every day.
00:20:48.02\00:20:52.20
That doctor subsequently
died from a heart attack
00:20:52.23\00:20:55.66
I believe.
00:20:55.69\00:20:57.64
Do you know who
I am speaking of?
00:20:57.67\00:20:59.22
I think you are
referring to Dr. Atkins.
00:20:59.25\00:21:02.25
Yes. Yes.
00:21:02.28\00:21:04.23
By the way I did his--
00:21:04.26\00:21:06.18
I read his book
it was believable.
00:21:06.21\00:21:09.30
I read the
book, I started eating
00:21:09.33\00:21:10.90
all the meats and fats
00:21:10.93\00:21:13.18
and that's just before I
had my open heart surgery.
00:21:13.21\00:21:17.08
So what we are reading out there
00:21:17.11\00:21:19.95
isn't necessarily the truth
00:21:19.98\00:21:24.35
but we do have
books on lifestyle.
00:21:24.38\00:21:27.50
I know that Weimar is loaded
with various kinds of books.
00:21:27.53\00:21:31.26
But for me I had to come
here and go through the program.
00:21:31.29\00:21:35.07
Any closing words about that?
00:21:35.10\00:21:37.91
Rather than reading his book
00:21:37.94\00:21:39.33
I will say read
Dr. Esselstyn's book
00:21:39.36\00:21:41.61
and Ornish's book on how
to reverse heart diseases
00:21:41.64\00:21:44.84
and come to Newstart.
00:21:44.87\00:21:46.60
Amen.
00:21:46.63\00:21:47.90
Dr. Ing, I want to
thank you for joining us here.
00:21:47.93\00:21:50.64
It's always the
pleasure to talk with you.
00:21:50.67\00:21:52.52
Thank you very much, Ron.
00:21:52.55\00:21:53.68
Have a wonderful
day. And you too.
00:21:53.71\00:21:55.97
Friends, don't go
away, Dr. Randy Bivens
00:21:56.00\00:21:59.16
has a tip for
you following this.
00:21:59.19\00:22:01.04
Hi, I'm Dr. Randy Bivens.
00:22:07.44\00:22:10.05
New brain scan
research has shown that
00:22:10.08\00:22:12.23
spiritual practices
can actually improve memory
00:22:12.26\00:22:15.21
and may even slow down
the aging process itself.
00:22:15.24\00:22:19.44
Dr. Andrew Newberg
wrote a book entitled,
00:22:19.47\00:22:22.33
How God Changes Your Brain.
00:22:22.36\00:22:24.80
Through extensive
research and brain scans,
00:22:24.83\00:22:27.37
he shows that
spiritual practices
00:22:27.40\00:22:29.67
are inherently
good for our body,
00:22:29.70\00:22:31.80
especially our brains.
00:22:31.83\00:22:33.93
According to Newberg,
both meditation and prayer
00:22:33.96\00:22:36.63
play significant
roles in strengthening
00:22:36.66\00:22:39.35
important circuits in our brains
00:22:39.38\00:22:41.72
which make us more
socially aware and alert
00:22:41.75\00:22:44.65
while we do say,
anxiety, depression
00:22:44.68\00:22:47.33
and neurological stress.
00:22:47.36\00:22:49.72
Consider this, in
our goal to live longer
00:22:49.75\00:22:52.98
does trust in
divine power play a role?
00:22:53.01\00:22:56.45
In a study entitled
Religious Involvement
00:22:56.48\00:22:59.04
and U.S. Adult Mortality
it was found that people
00:22:59.07\00:23:02.19
who never attended
religious activities
00:23:02.22\00:23:04.47
exhibited close to two
times the risk of death
00:23:04.50\00:23:08.76
compared with those
attending religious activities
00:23:08.79\00:23:11.45
more than once a week.
00:23:11.48\00:23:13.40
This amounts to a seven year
difference in life expectancy.
00:23:13.43\00:23:17.58
In other words,
the health benefits
00:23:17.61\00:23:19.92
of regularly
attending religious activities
00:23:19.95\00:23:22.91
is comparable to not smoking.
00:23:22.94\00:23:26.17
So does this mean
having faith in God
00:23:26.20\00:23:28.42
changes our
brains and our bodies?
00:23:28.45\00:23:31.22
Is it really a valid
means of living happier,
00:23:31.25\00:23:34.11
healthier, and longer lives?
00:23:34.14\00:23:37.22
Well, for
starters different studies
00:23:37.25\00:23:39.73
have shown a connection
00:23:39.76\00:23:41.39
between a lack of
religious service attendance
00:23:41.42\00:23:44.08
and the likelihood of
having respiratory disease,
00:23:44.11\00:23:47.29
infectious disease, or diabetes.
00:23:47.32\00:23:50.10
The health risk
extends so far as having
00:23:50.13\00:23:53.32
high blood
pressure, depression, suicide,
00:23:53.35\00:23:55.76
lung cancer,
coronary heart disease,
00:23:55.79\00:23:58.08
chronic obstructive lung disease
00:23:58.11\00:23:59.80
and hospital admissions.
00:23:59.83\00:24:02.19
It is also more likely to
become physically disabled
00:24:02.22\00:24:05.12
and suffer from
weaker immune systems.
00:24:05.15\00:24:08.29
In contrast
regular church attendees
00:24:08.32\00:24:11.53
were more
likely to stop smoking,
00:24:11.56\00:24:13.59
increase their
physical activity,
00:24:13.62\00:24:15.56
become more
social, and stay married.
00:24:15.59\00:24:19.87
It's all pretty startling
and you might be thinking
00:24:19.90\00:24:22.66
how does it all work?
00:24:22.69\00:24:24.96
Well, organized
religion usually provides
00:24:24.99\00:24:28.56
a social support
system that's been shown
00:24:28.59\00:24:31.12
to improve overall health.
00:24:31.15\00:24:33.57
In a study of
cardiac surgery patients,
00:24:33.60\00:24:35.97
people with low social
support, who did not depend
00:24:36.00\00:24:39.56
on the religious
faith for strength
00:24:39.59\00:24:41.56
had a mortality rate
that was 12 times higher
00:24:41.59\00:24:45.71
than people who did have
00:24:45.74\00:24:47.19
a strong religious
support network to rely on.
00:24:47.22\00:24:51.51
Many who hear
this and think well,
00:24:51.54\00:24:53.00
then it's the social support
that boost health not God.
00:24:53.03\00:24:57.49
It's a question that's
been asked often enough
00:24:57.52\00:24:59.83
that a study was
conducted to examine it.
00:24:59.86\00:25:02.94
The study followed 22 kibbutzim
00:25:02.97\00:25:05.53
which are essentially collective
00:25:05.56\00:25:07.16
Jewish farming communities.
00:25:07.19\00:25:09.44
For 16 years the study compared
00:25:09.47\00:25:12.53
11 religious kibbutzim in Israel
00:25:12.56\00:25:14.98
with a 11 secular kibbutzim.
00:25:15.01\00:25:17.65
The study carefully matched them
00:25:17.68\00:25:19.55
to make them as
statically similar as possible.
00:25:19.58\00:25:22.58
Yet, despite their
statically similarities
00:25:22.61\00:25:25.55
the results were striking.
00:25:25.58\00:25:27.62
Nearly twice as many people
in the secular community died
00:25:27.65\00:25:31.93
during the study.
00:25:31.96\00:25:34.52
Ever considered the
phrase power of prayer?
00:25:34.55\00:25:37.33
Academic studies show that
00:25:37.36\00:25:38.83
prayer has
beneficial health effects
00:25:38.86\00:25:41.23
particularly for the
person who is doing the praying.
00:25:41.26\00:25:44.71
Studies of petitionary prayer
in which a person prays for his
00:25:44.74\00:25:48.53
or her own
health or peace of mind
00:25:48.56\00:25:51.54
showed tangible
statistical results.
00:25:51.57\00:25:54.52
Science backs up
the benefit of praying
00:25:54.55\00:25:57.13
for your own health especially
00:25:57.16\00:25:59.34
when it comes to mental
health like clinical depression.
00:25:59.37\00:26:02.66
So, does God change our
brains or as our Creator
00:26:02.69\00:26:07.74
does God know what
makes us the most healthy?
00:26:07.77\00:26:11.40
I believe that God wants to
be in a relationship with us.
00:26:11.43\00:26:16.18
When we allow Him into our lives
00:26:16.21\00:26:19.32
our brains are turned on,
00:26:19.35\00:26:22.05
our bodies are
made more efficient,
00:26:22.08\00:26:24.22
our immune
systems are strengthen,
00:26:24.25\00:26:26.37
thinking becomes
clearer and we feel great.
00:26:26.40\00:26:31.72
In our goal to live
longer, healthier lives
00:26:31.75\00:26:35.30
being rooted firmly
in God and fellowshipping
00:26:35.33\00:26:38.96
with like minded
believers has been shown to be
00:26:38.99\00:26:42.07
one of the most
effective strategies.
00:26:42.10\00:26:45.07
My suggestion,
00:26:45.10\00:26:46.82
consider stepping into
your local church this weekend.
00:26:46.85\00:26:50.48
Hello, I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:26:50.51\00:26:52.97
You know, helping
a friend, neighbor
00:26:53.00\00:26:54.90
or relative have better health
00:26:54.93\00:26:56.68
is one of the
most practical forms
00:26:56.71\00:26:58.30
of health ministry available.
00:26:58.33\00:27:00.41
However if you are
not a health professional
00:27:00.44\00:27:02.32
it can extremely difficult
to know how to help someone
00:27:02.35\00:27:05.32
access reliable credible
up-to-date health information.
00:27:05.35\00:27:09.82
That's why I recommend
the Newstart Lifestyle Club.
00:27:09.85\00:27:13.32
The club is based
on the world famous
00:27:13.35\00:27:15.08
Newstart principles
that have helped millions
00:27:15.11\00:27:17.51
be well naturally
without the use of drugs.
00:27:17.54\00:27:20.17
The club offers streaming video,
00:27:20.20\00:27:22.05
expert health advice,

00:27:22.08\00:27:25.72
And when it comes to ministry
the Newstart Lifestyle Club
00:27:25.75\00:27:28.72
provides a way
for sponsor, churches
00:27:28.75\00:27:30.49
and health organizations
to connect with club members
00:27:30.52\00:27:33.54
in their own communities.
