Every year in America
00:00:12.19\00:00:13.26
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:13.29\00:00:14.72
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.75\00:00:17.80
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.83\00:00:20.19
That's six and half,
747s crashing every day.
00:00:20.22\00:00:23.77
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:23.80\00:00:27.20
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.23\00:00:28.55
Wouldn't it be nice
00:00:28.58\00:00:29.61
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:00:29.64\00:00:31.97
rather than dying
of one organ at a time?
00:00:32.00\00:00:34.90
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:34.93\00:00:36.54
of over million deaths per year.
00:00:36.57\00:00:39.15
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:39.18\00:00:41.25
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.28\00:00:44.14
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.17\00:00:47.61
Seriously now
they can be reversed
00:00:47.64\00:00:49.81
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:07.31\00:01:10.59
Hi, friends, and welcome
00:01:13.27\00:01:14.52
to another
edition of Newstart Now.
00:01:14.55\00:01:17.16
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.19\00:01:19.74
In our studio we
have Barbara Farriester
00:01:19.77\00:01:23.93
and we're gonna
take a look at the clip
00:01:23.96\00:01:25.95
when she first arrived.
00:01:25.98\00:01:27.50
You're gonna be amazed
00:01:27.53\00:01:29.35
by the difference
between now and then.
00:01:29.38\00:01:33.02
And also stick around
00:01:33.05\00:01:34.25
because at the
end of our program
00:01:34.28\00:01:36.83
we have an important
message from Dr. Randy Bivens.
00:01:36.86\00:01:42.01
I had open heart surgery in 2013
00:01:44.73\00:01:48.27
and at all had
to be redone in 2014
00:01:48.30\00:01:51.22
and I knew, I needed
to change my lifestyle.
00:01:51.25\00:01:54.18
This time I had
one totally blocked
00:01:54.21\00:01:56.09
the other three were 90% each.
00:01:56.12\00:01:58.19
So the doctor said,
00:01:58.22\00:01:59.26
you're not quite as bad you were
00:01:59.29\00:02:01.76
but I don't normally
get people here in one year
00:02:01.79\00:02:06.07
that is blocked like this again.
00:02:06.10\00:02:08.03
But I am willing to do anything
00:02:08.06\00:02:10.51
and he said you
need to go to a place
00:02:10.54\00:02:13.21
that is called Weimar
00:02:13.24\00:02:15.75
and said they can
set you on the right road
00:02:15.78\00:02:18.45
and I just
thought sure they came.
00:02:18.48\00:02:20.67
I still won't like the food
00:02:20.70\00:02:22.32
and I still won't
have any thing to eat
00:02:22.35\00:02:24.30
and I hate exercise.
00:02:24.33\00:02:26.31
But I want from this program
is control of my diabetics,
00:02:26.34\00:02:30.28
no more meds hopefully,
00:02:30.31\00:02:32.66
control of my heart
condition where it's healthy
00:02:32.69\00:02:35.89
and I no longer
have to go to hospitals.
00:02:35.92\00:02:39.44
But the biggest thing I want
00:02:39.47\00:02:41.41
is to have a new
joy in life again.
00:02:41.44\00:02:44.32
I want to be able to
participate with my family,
00:02:44.35\00:02:48.44
with my church, with my husband
00:02:48.47\00:02:51.06
and have a life that has
value not just existence.
00:02:51.09\00:02:56.03
And most people don't understand
00:02:56.06\00:02:57.85
is if you are not
willing to change your lifestyle
00:02:57.88\00:03:01.42
you are gonna keep
getting what you already have
00:03:01.45\00:03:04.11
and I don't want
what I already have.
00:03:04.14\00:03:08.99
Hi, friends, and welcome back.
00:03:09.02\00:03:10.32
And as I promise
Barbara, how are you?
00:03:10.35\00:03:13.12
I am wonderful.
00:03:13.15\00:03:14.44
I can see that and I
already told the viewers
00:03:14.47\00:03:18.65
to take a look
at the difference.
00:03:18.68\00:03:20.97
Now when you got here
00:03:21.00\00:03:22.39
you seemed very depressed to me.
00:03:22.42\00:03:24.19
Extremely.
00:03:24.22\00:03:25.64
Your down, your
color was different.
00:03:25.67\00:03:28.54
I even thank you
had more of the draw.
00:03:28.57\00:03:31.88
I don't know that there was.
00:03:31.91\00:03:33.50
I am just teasing about that.
00:03:33.53\00:03:35.10
But you look different tell
us what happen only two weeks.
00:03:35.13\00:03:41.40
My whole attitude has changed.
00:03:41.43\00:03:44.35
I expected some
things to happen.
00:03:44.38\00:03:48.22
I expected the
food to be horrible
00:03:48.25\00:03:51.11
and God amazed
me it was wonderful.
00:03:51.14\00:03:53.76
Oh, my.
00:03:53.79\00:03:54.89
It was wonderful, I love it.
00:03:54.92\00:03:57.48
I can live on this diet,
00:03:57.51\00:03:59.42
it is the best
thing I've ever been done.
00:03:59.45\00:04:01.75
So your altitude really changed.
00:04:01.78\00:04:04.24
And I exercise and
it doesn't kill me.
00:04:04.27\00:04:07.74
And I love the outside.
00:04:07.77\00:04:09.26
You exercise? I do.
00:04:09.29\00:04:10.81
No.
00:04:10.84\00:04:12.04
And I love the outside,
00:04:12.07\00:04:13.27
I love the
sunshine, everything has--
00:04:13.30\00:04:17.29
I feel like I have my life back,
00:04:17.32\00:04:20.22
I feel like that.
00:04:20.25\00:04:22.55
This program has saved me
00:04:22.58\00:04:24.76
because I don't
think I would be here
00:04:24.79\00:04:27.73
in very many more
years had I not found this
00:04:27.76\00:04:32.07
and Weimar is-- its
just exceptional, amazing.
00:04:32.10\00:04:37.21
Well, you know we are blessed.
00:04:37.24\00:04:40.60
We are.
00:04:40.63\00:04:41.67
All of us that work here,
00:04:41.70\00:04:43.01
all of us have been
through the program.
00:04:43.04\00:04:45.19
I am one I came
through an all flab
00:04:45.22\00:04:47.89
as many of viewers know.
00:04:47.92\00:04:50.33
But now your one of the rank
00:04:50.36\00:04:52.95
we're not only
brothers and sisters
00:04:52.98\00:04:55.06
in the zipper club--
00:04:55.09\00:04:56.14
Right.
00:04:56.17\00:04:57.20
But we are a limelight
of the NewStart program.
00:04:57.23\00:05:00.62
Absolutely.
00:05:00.65\00:05:01.68
So in this NewStart
which we call it NewStart
00:05:01.71\00:05:08.14
because that's
what it really is.
00:05:08.17\00:05:10.05
It absolutely is.
00:05:10.08\00:05:11.38
Its like the Lord
says, here you are my child.
00:05:11.41\00:05:15.54
You got a second lease
00:05:15.57\00:05:17.62
what you're gonna
do with it this time?
00:05:17.65\00:05:20.74
Well, when God saved
me from my heart attack
00:05:20.77\00:05:26.50
which was very
severe at the time
00:05:26.53\00:05:28.77
and then when it happen again
00:05:28.80\00:05:31.06
I knew, He has some
kind of plans for me
00:05:31.09\00:05:33.65
and I thought I
can't do anything.
00:05:33.68\00:05:36.52
I don't have the
stamina or anything
00:05:36.55\00:05:39.34
and now whatever
He puts out there
00:05:39.37\00:05:42.30
because of Weimar
I know I can do it.
00:05:42.33\00:05:44.91
Wherever He calls
me I can go, I can do
00:05:44.94\00:05:47.75
whatever He wants me to do
and that's what I want to do
00:05:47.78\00:05:50.78
to be there for my family,
for my church, for my God.
00:05:50.81\00:05:56.99
Wow.
00:05:57.02\00:05:58.08
That is so wonderful
it's like music to my ears.
00:05:58.11\00:06:01.53
I get little emotional
00:06:01.56\00:06:03.42
because you-- it's
me speaking to myself.
00:06:03.45\00:06:07.40
You hear what I am saying?
00:06:07.43\00:06:09.03
And all of us through
had this kind of experience
00:06:09.06\00:06:13.83
are also sharing
this same emotion.
00:06:13.86\00:06:16.56
There is hope, there
is truly a new start.
00:06:16.59\00:06:21.01
Let's get back to you now,
00:06:21.04\00:06:22.74
how much weight have you lost?
00:06:22.77\00:06:24.73
I have lost six pounds.
00:06:24.76\00:06:26.00
Six pounds.
00:06:26.03\00:06:27.10
In seventeen days.
00:06:27.13\00:06:28.21
In seventeen-- good girl.
00:06:28.24\00:06:29.45
Yes.
00:06:29.48\00:06:30.51
And have you are--
00:06:30.54\00:06:31.69
have you been taken
off any medications?
00:06:31.72\00:06:34.24
I have been taken off.
00:06:34.27\00:06:35.55
I came here with ten medications
00:06:35.58\00:06:38.05
I am going home with
two that I had been assured
00:06:38.08\00:06:40.85
I can get off in the next
12 weeks to a year and half.
00:06:40.88\00:06:46.04
The medicine for the stents
00:06:46.07\00:06:47.47
I have to wait
till the stents heal--
00:06:47.50\00:06:49.10
Yes. Then I'm off of those.
00:06:49.13\00:06:51.37
The anti-depression
I am doing so well,
00:06:51.40\00:06:53.24
I want off to be it and he said
00:06:53.27\00:06:55.08
let's just take
one step at a time
00:06:55.11\00:06:56.92
and that's not a
problem, you are not gonna,
00:06:56.95\00:06:59.44
you know, have a problem with it
00:06:59.47\00:07:00.64
and my attitude is so different.
00:07:00.67\00:07:04.32
So I feel so much lighter.
00:07:04.35\00:07:06.29
I felt like when I came
00:07:06.32\00:07:08.38
life was just
bearing down on that.
00:07:08.41\00:07:10.43
And now then,
every morning you wake up
00:07:10.46\00:07:13.44
and you hear the birds
outside there are beautiful
00:07:13.47\00:07:16.45
and you just want to give up
00:07:16.48\00:07:17.74
and live your day, you know.
00:07:17.77\00:07:19.14
Yeah, yeah. That's wonderful.
00:07:19.17\00:07:22.77
Let's talk about your experience
00:07:22.80\00:07:24.87
of the NewStart program.
00:07:24.90\00:07:27.60
Of all the people on campus
00:07:27.63\00:07:32.41
or all the
programs that you visited
00:07:32.44\00:07:35.02
including the lectures
what did you enjoy the most?
00:07:35.05\00:07:40.55
The lectures were wonderful,
00:07:40.58\00:07:41.78
they gave us so
much information.
00:07:41.81\00:07:44.26
And the food was
absolutely delicious
00:07:44.29\00:07:46.50
but I have to say
learning to walk again
00:07:46.53\00:07:51.02
and the trips that
the groups took together
00:07:51.05\00:07:53.76
and when we walked
down by that stream
00:07:53.79\00:07:55.87
that was rushing and
sounded so beautiful.
00:07:55.90\00:07:58.64
And saw all the wildlife,
00:07:58.67\00:07:59.96
we saw a wild turkey,
we saw squirre you know.
00:07:59.99\00:08:03.70
It just, it just
lifted my soul, it really did.
00:08:03.73\00:08:07.30
God's creation is so beautiful.
00:08:07.33\00:08:09.33
You took the five
mile walk or three?
00:08:09.36\00:08:10.74
I did, I did the five.
00:08:10.77\00:08:12.59
You did all five.
00:08:12.62\00:08:13.90
Yeah.
00:08:13.93\00:08:15.09
Did the doctors do it with you?
00:08:15.12\00:08:16.49
Yes.
00:08:16.52\00:08:17.62
So you have doctors with you,
00:08:17.65\00:08:18.85
nurses with you, staff with you.
00:08:18.88\00:08:21.28
I mean--
00:08:21.31\00:08:22.75
The exercise counselor.
00:08:22.78\00:08:24.35
Everybody that's anybody
that could help you were there.
00:08:24.38\00:08:27.68
Yeah, I was
supposed to go by the way
00:08:27.71\00:08:29.99
but I was-- one
thing happen to me
00:08:30.02\00:08:33.81
I over did it my routine
00:08:33.84\00:08:36.36
and I all of a sudden
was getting pains and cramps
00:08:36.39\00:08:39.68
so, I didn't come.
00:08:39.71\00:08:40.75
I apologize but I will make sure
00:08:40.78\00:08:43.16
I go to the next one.
00:08:43.19\00:08:44.72
But I walk six and
half miles a day now.
00:08:44.75\00:08:47.09
You do?
00:08:47.12\00:08:48.16
And I never ever exercised
or walked in any form before.
00:08:48.19\00:08:52.55
So that has been God
because I thought my legs
00:08:52.58\00:08:56.55
were gonna fall off
the first couple of days.
00:08:56.58\00:08:58.50
And now, then is
just wonderful to get out
00:08:58.53\00:09:01.96
and just walk, just walk.
00:09:01.99\00:09:04.66
So, I want to
get back to the food
00:09:04.69\00:09:07.02
because during our
first interview you said
00:09:07.05\00:09:09.16
I am gonna hate this
food, I am gonna hate this--
00:09:09.19\00:09:11.49
you were hating
everybody and everything.
00:09:11.52\00:09:13.60
Now, you're loving
everybody and everything.
00:09:13.63\00:09:15.95
How you're gonna cook this food,
00:09:15.98\00:09:17.60
this terrible food?
00:09:17.63\00:09:19.37
The cooking school
they have here is fantastic.
00:09:19.40\00:09:22.53
You get hands on experience
and you get to taste the food.
00:09:22.56\00:09:26.96
They carried out with cafeteria
and we get to taste our fixings
00:09:26.99\00:09:30.51
and the recipes
are so simple and easy,
00:09:30.54\00:09:33.65
you know, it's something
you can really incorporate
00:09:33.68\00:09:35.87
in your every day life.
00:09:35.90\00:09:37.62
It's not complicated,
00:09:37.65\00:09:38.68
it's not hard and
there are delicious.
00:09:38.71\00:09:42.30
There are really, really are.
00:09:42.33\00:09:43.59
I know.
00:09:43.62\00:09:44.73
I would not have
believed it but they are.
00:09:44.76\00:09:47.03
I keep going back for more.
00:09:47.06\00:09:49.51
I had last week, I had pizza
00:09:49.54\00:09:51.60
almost I had four
or five pieces of pizza
00:09:51.63\00:09:54.58
and I had cabbage
with it big and a salad.
00:09:54.61\00:10:00.44
Oh, just delicious.
00:10:00.47\00:10:02.87
All right, so
have you established
00:10:02.90\00:10:06.44
a network of new
friends with the other folks
00:10:06.47\00:10:10.88
that had been
through the program?
00:10:10.91\00:10:11.97
Yes, everybody is so
excited and want to know
00:10:12.00\00:10:16.12
what we're
gonna do in the future
00:10:16.15\00:10:18.17
to keep in touch
email, telephone.
00:10:18.20\00:10:22.73
There are so concerned about you
00:10:22.76\00:10:26.09
and you are so
concerned about them
00:10:26.12\00:10:28.23
that its unbelievable
you can bond that quickly
00:10:28.26\00:10:31.88
but I guess, since we
all had a central goal
00:10:31.91\00:10:34.59
and was trying to
get our lives back
00:10:34.62\00:10:37.24
we understand when somebody
talks to you about something.
00:10:37.27\00:10:40.32
You know, where
they are coming from
00:10:40.35\00:10:42.09
and you want to
make sure they continue
00:10:42.12\00:10:45.87
and the
supporting will be fantastic,
00:10:45.90\00:10:49.05
it will be great.
00:10:49.08\00:10:50.24
And you know I'll be checking
in with you every month.
00:10:50.27\00:10:52.43
Yes.
00:10:52.46\00:10:53.49
As I promised and I only do that
00:10:53.52\00:10:56.03
with guest who walk in the call
00:10:56.06\00:10:59.15
otherwise I just don't
call I don't want to push.
00:10:59.18\00:11:02.54
But on the other
hand sometimes I do so--
00:11:02.57\00:11:06.19
I welcome it, sincerely.
00:11:06.22\00:11:08.19
Well, we will be in touch.
00:11:08.22\00:11:10.03
Okay, anything
that I have not asked
00:11:10.06\00:11:14.26
that you like to tell us.
00:11:14.29\00:11:17.93
Well, one thing that has come
about with me coming to Weimar
00:11:17.96\00:11:21.92
is I have eight
brothers and sisters,
00:11:21.95\00:11:24.52
three of brothers
and three of sisters
00:11:24.55\00:11:26.73
and one of my
brother is going to go
00:11:26.76\00:11:28.89
with this lifestyle
soon as I get to home
00:11:28.92\00:11:31.51
and can get them as
much information as I can.
00:11:31.54\00:11:33.91
You gonna be coaching?
00:11:33.94\00:11:35.00
So, yes. Wow.
00:11:35.03\00:11:36.68
And I am so
excited because, you know,
00:11:36.71\00:11:40.50
they are all, all
but one older than me
00:11:40.53\00:11:43.22
and so I am not
ready to let them go.
00:11:43.25\00:11:45.95
So I am so tickled
that they are ready
00:11:45.98\00:11:48.11
to change their lifestyle too.
00:11:48.14\00:11:50.00
Well, praises
God, you know subject.
00:11:50.03\00:11:51.86
So Weimar
touches a lot more lives
00:11:51.89\00:11:53.39
than just what are here.
00:11:53.42\00:11:54.45
Oh, yes.
00:11:54.48\00:11:55.51
What you can take
back home is amazing.
00:11:55.54\00:11:58.29
And remember, the viewers.
00:11:58.32\00:12:00.89
Right.
00:12:00.92\00:12:02.27
We gonna-- this interview
00:12:02.30\00:12:05.10
will be seen
all over the world--
00:12:05.13\00:12:08.41
By thousands, hundreds of
thousands perhaps millions.
00:12:08.44\00:12:12.90
And so, somewhere out there
00:12:12.93\00:12:14.61
there's someone
who is watching you
00:12:14.64\00:12:18.00
and there are gone wow,
00:12:18.03\00:12:19.59
that happened to
her I can do that,
00:12:19.62\00:12:22.26
I can make a change.
00:12:22.29\00:12:23.87
I knew well, you know the drill.
00:12:23.90\00:12:27.60
If I can anybody can,
00:12:27.63\00:12:30.50
there are probably in very need
00:12:30.53\00:12:31.71
as you had as negative
as I was to began with.
00:12:31.74\00:12:34.87
I know that.
00:12:34.90\00:12:35.96
But I was desperate
and when you are desperate
00:12:35.99\00:12:38.62
you will do
whatever you have to do.
00:12:38.65\00:12:41.24
And to find out that it was easy
00:12:41.27\00:12:44.91
that was just plus.
00:12:44.94\00:12:46.42
Barbara, I want to thank you.
00:12:46.45\00:12:47.51
We ran out of time.
00:12:47.54\00:12:49.04
I appreciate you
coming on the program with us.
00:12:49.07\00:12:51.61
God bless you and
I will be in touch.
00:12:51.64\00:12:53.69
And friends, do not go away
00:12:53.72\00:12:56.27
because we have
a message for you
00:12:56.30\00:12:58.34
not only right now but
later on end of the show
00:12:58.37\00:13:01.01
Dr. Randy Bivens will be here.
00:13:01.04\00:13:03.81
Welcome back friends,
00:13:35.89\00:13:37.03
in our studio
Doctor Rick Lukens.
00:13:37.06\00:13:39.16
Good to see you, doc.
00:13:39.19\00:13:40.22
Good to be here.
00:13:40.25\00:13:41.28
What a grip.
00:13:41.31\00:13:42.87
You know, we're gonna
to talk about Barbara.
00:13:42.90\00:13:46.46
Well, I have to say something.
00:13:46.49\00:13:48.58
I think it's very interesting,
00:13:48.61\00:13:49.96
I am saying this
because she and I have both
00:13:49.99\00:13:53.10
had open heart surgery
00:13:53.13\00:13:55.75
otherwise known as
cardio vascular disease
00:13:55.78\00:13:59.35
and I just been
talking to a friend of mine
00:13:59.38\00:14:03.43
who is a vice-president
here at Weimar, Pastor Brackett
00:14:03.46\00:14:09.52
and he said to me, he said, Ron,
00:14:09.55\00:14:11.65
and we are actually
using this as a commercial now.
00:14:11.68\00:14:14.66
He says, its amazing
00:14:14.69\00:14:16.50
that millions of
people die every year
00:14:16.53\00:14:19.33
from cardio vascular disease
00:14:19.36\00:14:21.74
which is heart
attack and stroke at least,
00:14:21.77\00:14:27.37
which is the
equivalence to six and half,
00:14:27.40\00:14:31.33
747s crashing
daily filled with people
00:14:31.36\00:14:38.37
and yet one 747 crashes
00:14:38.40\00:14:42.07
and it's all over
the news as it should be.
00:14:42.10\00:14:45.15
But what about this disease,
it's not all over the news,
00:14:45.18\00:14:49.22
nobody hardly knows about it.
00:14:49.25\00:14:50.69
The viewers here are learning.
00:14:50.72\00:14:52.99
Tell us about this, doc.
00:14:53.02\00:14:55.50
Well, in some of
the other interviews
00:14:55.53\00:14:57.61
that we have been done
00:14:57.64\00:14:59.05
we talked about
coronary artery disease
00:14:59.08\00:15:01.54
and the 15 years
that I had in Africa
00:15:01.57\00:15:04.13
I saw two people--
00:15:04.16\00:15:05.32
Two people.
00:15:05.35\00:15:06.40
Well, with heart attack, yeah.
00:15:06.43\00:15:07.59
Amazing.
00:15:07.62\00:15:08.65
There was bona fide, yeah.
00:15:08.68\00:15:10.38
And so because
of their lifestyle,
00:15:10.41\00:15:14.62
because of their lifestyle
they just don't have that.
00:15:14.65\00:15:17.75
And so what's gonna happen
00:15:17.78\00:15:18.93
that all the
westerners are gonna die often,
00:15:18.96\00:15:21.38
the people in the
third way-- the third world.
00:15:21.41\00:15:24.58
Another thing is that
she was talking about here
00:15:24.61\00:15:28.73
artery is being
plugged up and everything.
00:15:28.76\00:15:33.45
There's so many kids that are,
00:15:33.48\00:15:35.45
they say that
probably a third of the kids
00:15:35.48\00:15:38.64
that are in high
school now are gonna have
00:15:38.67\00:15:41.47
diabetics by the time--
00:15:41.50\00:15:43.87
that they are gonna
die before their parents.
00:15:43.90\00:15:46.34
And diabetics is
one of the leading
00:15:46.37\00:15:48.21
causes of plugged up arteries
00:15:48.24\00:15:50.58
and stroke and it's the leading
00:15:50.61\00:15:53.12
causes of blindness
in the United States.
00:15:53.15\00:15:54.91
So, well, we've got to do
something for our lifestyle.
00:15:54.94\00:15:58.72
I've never seen so many
chunky little kids in schools.
00:15:58.75\00:16:02.93
You know, when I went to school
00:16:02.96\00:16:04.47
I was probably one of the bigots
00:16:04.50\00:16:06.19
but I was in chunky.
00:16:06.22\00:16:08.14
And now I see a lot
of those little one's
00:16:08.17\00:16:10.59
and its
lifestyle we know, for sure
00:16:10.62\00:16:13.44
its what's their
parents are teaching them to eat
00:16:13.47\00:16:16.26
or their
teacher's or other friend--
00:16:16.29\00:16:18.95
I don't know for sure
but it's combination of all.
00:16:18.98\00:16:21.40
Just real quickly, my
wife goes to thread shops
00:16:21.43\00:16:24.06
and get
children's clothes for Africa
00:16:24.09\00:16:26.88
and she says you know,
00:16:26.91\00:16:28.11
most time the
little boy's clothes
00:16:28.14\00:16:29.99
that used to all be worn
out now they are hardly used.
00:16:30.02\00:16:33.73
Video games and all
these kinds of stuff,
00:16:33.76\00:16:35.92
you know, wear your
clothes out playing video games.
00:16:35.95\00:16:38.28
Wow, a good point.
00:16:38.31\00:16:39.86
Yeah.
00:16:39.89\00:16:40.94
Now, Barbara okay, we
were here in opening night
00:16:40.97\00:16:45.72
where the guest come in
and introduce themselves
00:16:45.75\00:16:49.15
and you were there I remember
00:16:49.18\00:16:51.74
and Barbara fainted.
00:16:51.77\00:16:54.27
Yeah.
00:16:54.30\00:16:55.33
Tell us what happened there.
00:16:55.36\00:16:56.59
Well, she has from the time
00:16:56.62\00:17:01.52
that she had the
diagnosis of diabetics
00:17:01.55\00:17:05.51
she said that
she never really had
00:17:05.54\00:17:07.63
her blood sugars under 300.
00:17:07.66\00:17:10.30
And that's been for years.
00:17:10.33\00:17:11.99
Eight years. Eight years.
00:17:12.02\00:17:13.66
Yeah. Wow.
00:17:13.69\00:17:14.86
And so, in fact where she works,
00:17:14.89\00:17:17.36
if there is somebody
on the line there can go
00:17:17.39\00:17:19.53
and just do a blood test on
if they know they are diabetic.
00:17:19.56\00:17:22.58
And if they are over--
if they are 300 or above
00:17:22.61\00:17:25.36
they pull them off the
line and send him home.
00:17:25.39\00:17:27.52
Her doctor had to
write special request for her
00:17:27.55\00:17:31.09
because her blood
levels are never under 300.
00:17:31.12\00:17:35.09
Also, she didn't
want to go in insulin
00:17:35.12\00:17:37.24
they could have
driven it down that way
00:17:37.27\00:17:39.13
but that would have just
caused more atherosclerosis.
00:17:39.16\00:17:42.25
Because the higher
your insulin levels
00:17:42.28\00:17:45.81
are the more your
arteries are plugging out.
00:17:45.84\00:17:48.49
So she said that
she had bypass surgery.
00:17:48.52\00:17:51.26
And then, year later you know--
00:17:51.29\00:17:53.42
she just said that
00:17:53.45\00:17:54.91
and so then they had to put
stents and all these things.
00:17:54.94\00:17:57.41
And kind of when I saw here
00:17:57.44\00:17:58.94
kind of reminded me
of the lady in the Bible
00:17:58.97\00:18:01.39
and said that she
had suffered many things
00:18:01.42\00:18:04.41
at the hands of their physician.
00:18:04.44\00:18:06.78
But I mean they were
trying to save here life.
00:18:06.81\00:18:08.87
There were, yes.
00:18:08.90\00:18:09.94
But she wasn't doing the
things that she needed to do.
00:18:09.97\00:18:14.21
So anyway, she comes in
00:18:14.24\00:18:16.28
and the last
medication it's a new one
00:18:16.31\00:18:19.32
and one of the other doctor said
00:18:19.35\00:18:20.83
I don't know why they
ever even made that meditation
00:18:20.86\00:18:24.87
because it's a
most horrible thing.
00:18:24.90\00:18:26.88
What it does it
causes you to dump
00:18:26.91\00:18:29.15
your sugar in the urine,
dump your salts in the urine
00:18:29.18\00:18:32.16
and that's what happens
00:18:32.19\00:18:33.28
when you have
diabetic ketoacidosis.
00:18:33.31\00:18:35.70
She had been on the choppy
airplane flight from Arkansas
00:18:35.73\00:18:41.60
and so they
didn't let him get out,
00:18:41.63\00:18:42.96
they didn't get
him the usual hydration
00:18:42.99\00:18:46.81
and so forth on the flight
00:18:46.84\00:18:48.45
and so, she got here
she was on the meditation,
00:18:48.48\00:18:52.96
her blood volume is low
and she was sitting there
00:18:52.99\00:18:56.04
and pretty soon
somebody said talk, talk
00:18:56.07\00:18:58.94
and there she was, she
was just flat on the floor
00:18:58.97\00:19:02.25
and of course, you know,
we had to send her off to the,
00:19:02.28\00:19:05.09
to the emergency room
00:19:05.12\00:19:06.50
and they
hospitalized her overnight.
00:19:06.53\00:19:08.86
But it's really something,
00:19:08.89\00:19:10.26
when I like to do is I
like to get into the fact
00:19:10.29\00:19:13.70
that she was so determine to do.
00:19:13.73\00:19:17.82
Well, she didn't want to
go on the shots all the time.
00:19:17.85\00:19:20.64
She didn't want to have
to check her blood sugars--
00:19:20.67\00:19:22.71
But she didn't
want to eat the food
00:19:22.74\00:19:24.53
and she didn't want exercise.
00:19:24.56\00:19:26.38
Yeah, she said--
She was determined.
00:19:26.41\00:19:28.19
Yeah, her friend
that was here with her,
00:19:28.22\00:19:32.13
she said, you know, I
don't want to give up meat.
00:19:32.16\00:19:34.35
Yes.
00:19:34.38\00:19:35.43
We know that when
we give up meat eating
00:19:35.46\00:19:37.71
and you can stop insulin
00:19:37.74\00:19:39.64
and in lot of
cases in just a few days.
00:19:39.67\00:19:43.72
So now, she is so thrilled
and she did enjoy it through.
00:19:43.75\00:19:47.59
But the thing is that
00:19:47.62\00:19:49.73
we-- she went on
the three day fast
00:19:49.76\00:19:53.64
and she started her blood sugars
00:19:53.67\00:19:57.44
during the fast
went down to normal.
00:19:57.47\00:19:59.74
So we knew that
she was making insulin
00:19:59.77\00:20:02.92
and then we checked
and so, the thing is that
00:20:02.95\00:20:08.20
she was able to
get those blood sugars
00:20:08.23\00:20:11.93
a little bit lower
even off of her insulin
00:20:11.96\00:20:15.31
by her diet and exercise.
00:20:15.34\00:20:17.73
So, at the end you know
00:20:17.76\00:20:18.79
I could see she
just kind of like,
00:20:18.82\00:20:20.27
oh, this gonna work.
00:20:20.30\00:20:22.07
But anyway, her one of last
00:20:22.10\00:20:25.47
blood sugars is 270 in that area
00:20:25.50\00:20:29.08
and then just
before she left it was 220.
00:20:29.11\00:20:32.12
So I want to
know, so I called her up
00:20:32.15\00:20:34.62
and I said
Barbara, how are you doing?
00:20:34.65\00:20:36.73
And what did I
want to know from her
00:20:36.76\00:20:39.80
are you doing your exercise?
00:20:39.83\00:20:41.57
She said, I am still getting
in my five miles every day.
00:20:41.60\00:20:46.09
If some other time
before she goes to work.
00:20:46.12\00:20:48.22
Wonderful.
00:20:48.25\00:20:49.31
Now, the thing is that
she told me with the diet
00:20:49.34\00:20:52.65
and the exercise
that she is doing
00:20:52.68\00:20:54.69
she continues to lose weight
00:20:54.72\00:20:57.34
and she now, her fasting
blood sugars are all under 110.
00:20:57.37\00:21:04.05
Wow.
00:21:04.08\00:21:05.20
And her two hour post
postprandial blood sugars
00:21:05.23\00:21:08.49
are between 140 and 160.
00:21:08.52\00:21:12.54
And she only been gone
through what about five weeks
00:21:12.57\00:21:16.73
and to when you exercise
that increases the mitochondria
00:21:16.76\00:21:22.48
which makes your
muscles more active
00:21:22.51\00:21:24.85
and they can
use up off the sugar
00:21:24.88\00:21:27.00
and trying to get all
these kind of steps from this.
00:21:27.03\00:21:29.91
You don't even need
once she started exercising
00:21:29.94\00:21:33.00
after five minutes
you don't even need
00:21:33.03\00:21:36.23
insulin to get the
sugar into your muscles.
00:21:36.26\00:21:39.69
Oh, right.
00:21:39.72\00:21:40.89
And you are gonna get 50%
more activity on your pancreas
00:21:40.92\00:21:45.66
and in six to twelve weeks
00:21:45.69\00:21:48.11
when you've been
doing all these exercises
00:21:48.14\00:21:49.85
is just time exercise.
00:21:49.88\00:21:54.12
God is wonderful.
00:21:54.15\00:21:55.58
He has created us in such a way,
00:21:55.61\00:21:57.95
I don't really believe
00:21:57.98\00:22:00.07
and I don't want
anybody to quote me
00:22:00.10\00:22:01.98
but I believe this on
my personal belief that
00:22:02.01\00:22:04.92
people through lifestyle
can almost change any condition.
00:22:04.95\00:22:09.91
And I know
that's not totally true
00:22:09.94\00:22:11.60
but some one to back of mind say
00:22:11.63\00:22:14.77
if they change their lifestyle
00:22:14.80\00:22:16.66
then at least the body
has a chance to get them well.
00:22:16.69\00:22:20.06
Generally, the American
Medical Association back in 1989
00:22:20.09\00:22:23.75
when I was first
got here they said,
00:22:23.78\00:22:25.39
the physically fittest people
00:22:25.42\00:22:28.37
will have 50%
decrease in their risk
00:22:28.40\00:22:34.25
of cardio vascular disease.
00:22:34.28\00:22:35.73
When you say
well, that's makes sense
00:22:35.76\00:22:37.68
and in cancer.
00:22:37.71\00:22:39.76
Wow. 1989?
00:22:39.79\00:22:42.69
1989 it's clear back there.
00:22:42.72\00:22:44.64
Oh. Yeah.
00:22:44.67\00:22:46.57
Well, we got-- that's
why we have this program
00:22:46.60\00:22:49.46
to inform the
world that there is hope,
00:22:49.49\00:22:52.26
there is a place they can
go and there are many of them
00:22:52.29\00:22:56.13
all over the country
throughout the world.
00:22:56.16\00:22:59.85
This session
we've already gotten
00:22:59.88\00:23:01.17
somebody off their insulin pump.
00:23:01.20\00:23:03.41
Good.
00:23:03.44\00:23:04.61
And we were running out of time.
00:23:04.64\00:23:06.19
Thank you for joining us.
00:23:06.22\00:23:08.00
Friends, don't go
away Dr. Randy Bivens
00:23:08.03\00:23:10.61
will be right with
this with an important tip.
00:23:10.64\00:23:13.81
Hi, I am Dr. Randy Bivens.
00:23:19.56\00:23:21.97
"Joy, temperance, and repose,
00:23:22.00\00:23:24.44
slam the door on
the doctor's nose."
00:23:24.47\00:23:26.89
Although this was said
in early 1800s by Longfellow
00:23:26.92\00:23:30.58
it is relevant as ever today.
00:23:30.61\00:23:32.85
Think about it too
much of anything is bad.
00:23:32.88\00:23:36.25
Even drinking too much
of water can be deadly.
00:23:36.28\00:23:39.18
Once you agree that we need
to keep our habits in check.
00:23:39.21\00:23:42.84
Take the sun for example,
00:23:42.87\00:23:44.47
sunlight is a great example
of moderation for health.
00:23:44.50\00:23:48.19
It only takes a few
minutes of full exposure
00:23:48.22\00:23:51.26
in middle of the day to convert
adequate amounts of vitamin D.
00:23:51.29\00:23:55.54
Yet, while enjoying 20
to 30 minutes in the sun
00:23:55.57\00:23:58.22
can have an amazingly
positive influence on our mood.
00:23:58.25\00:24:02.04
Spending too
much time in the sun
00:24:02.07\00:24:04.18
can lead to
sunburn and even cancer.
00:24:04.21\00:24:08.25
Some of you may
associate the word temperance
00:24:08.28\00:24:10.27
with the temperance
moment of the 1800's
00:24:10.30\00:24:12.85
Which among other
things urged or prohibited
00:24:12.88\00:24:16.12
the consumption of
alcoholic beverages.
00:24:16.15\00:24:18.77
But temperance is much
more than avoiding alcohol
00:24:18.80\00:24:21.87
or limiting yourself to
one lump of sugar in you tea.
00:24:21.90\00:24:26.18
Try to think if
temperance as a state of mind
00:24:26.21\00:24:28.89
where and you can
seek to practice balance
00:24:28.92\00:24:31.06
with your body
and your passions.
00:24:31.09\00:24:33.93
It's really an age old conflict
00:24:33.96\00:24:35.94
stretching back
to ancient Greece
00:24:35.97\00:24:37.80
and even to the dawn of mankind.
00:24:37.83\00:24:40.54
If you remember the story
the first humans Adam and Eve
00:24:40.57\00:24:43.88
struggled with
intemperance in diet
00:24:43.91\00:24:46.53
and wound up eating
the forbidden fruit.
00:24:46.56\00:24:49.44
So how do we practice
moderation in our own lives?
00:24:49.47\00:24:53.96
As mentioned
earlier, we need to figure
00:24:53.99\00:24:55.69
how to control our
bodies and our actions.
00:24:55.72\00:24:59.27
And extremely challenging place
to do this is in our diets.
00:24:59.30\00:25:03.76
Obesity in much
of the advance world
00:25:03.79\00:25:06.43
is becoming wide
spread public health issue
00:25:06.46\00:25:09.51
that if left uncheck
00:25:09.54\00:25:11.10
will soon becoming the
leading cause of death.
00:25:11.13\00:25:14.20
So when it comes
to your food choices
00:25:14.23\00:25:16.22
think and choose temperately.
00:25:16.25\00:25:19.42
Eat enough to
sustain your physical needs
00:25:19.45\00:25:22.15
and choose nutrient rich foods
that will make your body happy.
00:25:22.18\00:25:26.80
Other products that stimulate
our senses like nicotine,
00:25:26.83\00:25:29.69
caffeine
depressants like alcohol
00:25:29.72\00:25:32.16
are another subject
I'd like to touch on.
00:25:32.19\00:25:34.49
Historically,
00:25:34.52\00:25:35.99
temperance had a strong
association with alcohol.
00:25:36.02\00:25:39.30
Recently, many
scientific studies
00:25:39.33\00:25:41.12
have been conducted
on the health benefits
00:25:41.15\00:25:42.90
of drinking small
amounts of alcohol.
00:25:42.93\00:25:45.73
But they haven't done
much but muddy the waters.
00:25:45.76\00:25:48.80
One long standing
truth remains clear,
00:25:48.83\00:25:51.32
what starts as
occasional or light drinking
00:25:51.35\00:25:54.55
can quickly become a habit.
00:25:54.58\00:25:56.54
And habitual drinking
is clearly a health hazard.
00:25:56.57\00:25:59.96
Because of this although we
are talking about moderation
00:25:59.99\00:26:03.90
I think alcohol might be an area
00:26:03.93\00:26:05.64
where total
abstinence is a better choice.
00:26:05.67\00:26:09.75
When it seems like our lives
are spinning out of control
00:26:09.78\00:26:12.98
temperance can help
us regain direction.
00:26:13.01\00:26:15.86
It is about balancing control.
00:26:15.89\00:26:17.41
Remember, in our
exceedingly digital world most
00:26:17.44\00:26:21.48
if not all of us,
00:26:21.51\00:26:22.54
could probably
spend much of the day
00:26:22.57\00:26:24.46
with our eyes glued
to some form of screen.
00:26:24.49\00:26:27.83
Where's the life in that?
00:26:27.86\00:26:29.25
Where is the joy?
00:26:29.28\00:26:31.05
Practice temperance with
your reliance on technology
00:26:31.08\00:26:34.20
and take a moment to
collect your thoughts
00:26:34.23\00:26:37.63
and simply breathe.
00:26:37.66\00:26:40.09
Spend a little extra time
with your friends and family
00:26:40.12\00:26:43.12
and engage in a
real conversation
00:26:43.15\00:26:44.80
without a television
blurring in the background.
00:26:44.83\00:26:48.99
The true key to
living a temperate lifestyle
00:26:49.02\00:26:51.46
lies in our minds.
00:26:51.49\00:26:53.95
We need to learn to
safeguard our thoughts
00:26:53.98\00:26:56.12
and carefully
monitor our emotions.
00:26:56.15\00:26:59.52
If you are the type to
give raise to angry easily
00:26:59.55\00:27:03.16
take a few deep breaths
00:27:03.19\00:27:04.45
and learn the
power of forgiveness.
00:27:04.48\00:27:07.21
If you're prone
to bragging give away
00:27:07.24\00:27:09.28
to more humble conversations.
00:27:09.31\00:27:12.11
If you are the
judgmental type give compassion
00:27:12.14\00:27:14.83
or empathy a try.
00:27:14.86\00:27:17.31
Think if your
mind is a springboard
00:27:17.34\00:27:19.61
for all of your actions.
00:27:19.64\00:27:21.88
If you can learn to
use your mind carefully
00:27:21.91\00:27:24.28
and wisely you
will have won the battle
00:27:24.31\00:27:27.17
against intemperance.
00:27:27.20\00:27:29.22
Well, friends,
