Eight years. 17:13 Yeah. Wow. 17:14 And so, in fact where she works, 17:17 if there is somebody on the line there can go 17:19 and just do a blood test on if they know they are diabetic. 17:22 And if they are over-- if they are 300 or above 17:25 they pull them off the line and send him home. 17:27 Her doctor had to write special request for her 17:31 because her blood levels are never under 300. 17:35 Also, she didn't want to go in insulin 17:37 they could have driven it down that way 17:39 but that would have just caused more atherosclerosis. 17:42 Because the higher your insulin levels 17:45 are the more your arteries are plugging out. 17:48 So she said that she had bypass surgery. 17:51 And then, year later you know-- 17:53 she just said that 17:54 and so then they had to put stents and all these things. 17:57 And kind of when I saw here 17:58 kind of reminded me of the lady in the Bible 18:01 and said that she had suffered many things 18:04 at the hands of their physician. 18:06 But I mean they were trying to save here life. 18:08 There were, yes. 18:09 But she wasn't doing the things that she needed to do. 18:14 So anyway, she comes in 18:16 and the last medication it's a new one 18:19 and one of the other doctor said 18:20 I don't know why they ever even made that meditation 18:24 because it's a most horrible thing. 18:26 What it does it causes you to dump 18:29 your sugar in the urine, dump your salts in the urine 18:32 and that's what happens 18:33 when you have diabetic ketoacidosis. 18:35 She had been on the choppy airplane flight from Arkansas 18:41 and so they didn't let him get out, 18:42 they didn't get him the usual hydration 18:46 and so forth on the flight 18:48 and so, she got here she was on the meditation, 18:52 her blood volume is low and she was sitting there 18:56 and pretty soon somebody said talk, talk 18:58 and there she was, she was just flat on the floor 19:02 and of course, you know, we had to send her off to the, 19:05 to the emergency room 19:06 and they hospitalized her overnight. 19:08 But it's really something, 19:10 when I like to do is I like to get into the fact 19:13 that she was so determine to do. 19:17 Well, she didn't want to go on the shots all the time. 19:20 She didn't want to have to check her blood sugars-- 19:22 But she didn't want to eat the food 19:24 and she didn't want exercise. 19:26 Yeah, she said-- She was determined. 19:28 Yeah, her friend that was here with her, 19:32 she said, you know, I don't want to give up meat. 19:34 Yes. 19:35 We know that when we give up meat eating 19:37 and you can stop insulin 19:39 and in lot of cases in just a few days. 19:43 So now, she is so thrilled and she did enjoy it through. 19:47 But the thing is that 19:49 we-- she went on the three day fast 19:53 and she started her blood sugars 19:57 during the fast went down to normal. 19:59 So we knew that she was making insulin 20:02 and then we checked and so, the thing is that 20:08 she was able to get those blood sugars 20:11 a little bit lower even off of her insulin 20:15 by her diet and exercise. 20:17 So, at the end you know 20:18 I could see she just kind of like, 20:20 oh, this gonna work. 20:22 But anyway, her one of last 20:25 blood sugars is 270 in that area 20:29 and then just before she left it was 220. 20:32 So I want to know, so I called her up 20:34 and I said Barbara, how are you doing? 20:36 And what did I want to know from her 20:39 are you doing your exercise? 20:41 She said, I am still getting in my five miles every day. 20:46 If some other time before she goes to work. 20:48 Wonderful. 20:49 Now, the thing is that she told me with the diet 20:52 and the exercise that she is doing 20:54 she continues to lose weight 20:57 and she now, her fasting blood sugars are all under 110. 21:04 Wow. 21:05 And her two hour post postprandial blood sugars 21:08 are between 140 and 160. 21:12 And she only been gone through what about five weeks 21:16 and to when you exercise that increases the mitochondria 21:22 which makes your muscles more active 21:24 and they can use up off the sugar 21:27 and trying to get all these kind of steps from this. 21:29 You don't even need once she started exercising 21:33 after five minutes you don't even need 21:36 insulin to get the sugar into your muscles. 21:39 Oh, right. 21:40 And you are gonna get 50% more activity on your pancreas 21:45 and in six to twelve weeks 21:48 when you've been doing all these exercises 21:49 is just time exercise. 21:54 God is wonderful. 21:55 He has created us in such a way, 21:57 I don't really believe 22:00 and I don't want anybody to quote me 22:02 but I believe this on my personal belief that 22:04 people through lifestyle can almost change any condition. 22:09 And I know that's not totally true 22:11 but some one to back of mind say 22:14 if they change their lifestyle 22:16 then at least the body has a chance to get them well. 22:20 Generally, the American Medical Association back in 1989 22:23 when I was first got here they said, 22:25 the physically fittest people 22:28 will have 50% decrease in their risk 22:34 of cardio vascular disease. 22:35 When you say well, that's makes sense 22:37 and in cancer. 22:39 Wow. 1989? 22:42 1989 it's clear back there. 22:44 Oh. Yeah. 22:46 Well, we got-- that's why we have this program 22:49 to inform the world that there is hope, 22:52 there is a place they can go and there are many of them 22:56 all over the country throughout the world. 22:59 This session we've already gotten 23:01 somebody off their insulin pump. 23:03 Good. 23:04 And we were running out of time. 23:06 Thank you for joining us. 23:08 Friends, don't go away Dr. Randy Bivens 23:10 will be right with this with an important tip. 23:19 Hi, I am Dr. Randy Bivens. 23:22 "Joy, temperance, and repose, 23:24 slam the door on the doctor's nose." 23:26 Although this was said in early 1800s by Longfellow 23:30 it is relevant as ever today. 23:32 Think about it too much of anything is bad. 23:36 Even drinking too much of water can be deadly. 23:39 Once you agree that we need to keep our habits in check. 23:42 Take the sun for example, 23:44 sunlight is a great example of moderation for health. 23:48 It only takes a few minutes of full exposure 23:51 in middle of the day to convert adequate amounts of vitamin D. 23:55 Yet, while enjoying 20 to 30 minutes in the sun 23:58 can have an amazingly positive influence on our mood. 24:02 Spending too much time in the sun 24:04 can lead to sunburn and even cancer. 24:08 Some of you may associate the word temperance 24:10 with the temperance moment of the 1800's 24:12 Which among other things urged or prohibited 24:16 the consumption of alcoholic beverages. 24:18 But temperance is much more than avoiding alcohol 24:21 or limiting yourself to one lump of sugar in you tea. 24:26 Try to think if temperance as a state of mind 24:28 where and you can seek to practice balance 24:31 with your body and your passions. 24:33 It's really an age old conflict 24:35 stretching back to ancient Greece 24:37 and even to the dawn of mankind. 24:40 If you remember the story the first humans Adam and Eve 24:43 struggled with intemperance in diet 24:46 and wound up eating the forbidden fruit. 24:49 So how do we practice moderation in our own lives? 24:53 As mentioned earlier, we need to figure 24:55 how to control our bodies and our actions. 24:59 And extremely challenging place to do this is in our diets. 25:03 Obesity in much of the advance world 25:06 is becoming wide spread public health issue 25:09 that if left uncheck 25:11 will soon becoming the leading cause of death. 25:14 So when it comes to your food choices 25:16 think and choose temperately. 25:19 Eat enough to sustain your physical needs 25:22 and choose nutrient rich foods that will make your body happy. 25:26 Other products that stimulate our senses like nicotine, 25:29 caffeine depressants like alcohol 25:32 are another subject I'd like to touch on. 25:34 Historically, 25:36 temperance had a strong association with alcohol. 25:39 Recently, many scientific studies 25:41 have been conducted on the health benefits 25:42 of drinking small amounts of alcohol. 25:45 But they haven't done much but muddy the waters. 25:48 One long standing truth remains clear, 25:51 what starts as occasional or light drinking 25:54 can quickly become a habit. 25:56 And habitual drinking is clearly a health hazard. 25:59 Because of this although we are talking about moderation 26:03 I think alcohol might be an area 26:05 where total abstinence is a better choice. 26:09 When it seems like our lives are spinning out of control 26:13 temperance can help us regain direction. 26:15 It is about balancing control. 26:17 Remember, in our exceedingly digital world most 26:21 if not all of us, 26:22 could probably spend much of the day 26:24 with our eyes glued to some form of screen. 26:27 Where's the life in that? 26:29 Where is the joy? 26:31 Practice temperance with your reliance on technology 26:34 and take a moment to collect your thoughts 26:37 and simply breathe. 26:40 Spend a little extra time with your friends and family 26:43 and engage in a real conversation 26:44 without a television blurring in the background. 26:49 The true key to living a temperate lifestyle 26:51 lies in our minds. 26:53 We need to learn to safeguard our thoughts 26:56 and carefully monitor our emotions. 26:59 If you are the type to give raise to angry easily 27:03 take a few deep breaths 27:04 and learn the power of forgiveness. 27:07 If you're prone to bragging give away 27:09 to more humble conversations. 27:12 If you are the judgmental type give compassion 27:14 or empathy a try. 27:17 Think if your mind is a springboard 27:19 for all of your actions. 27:21 If you can learn to use your mind carefully 27:24 and wisely you will have won the battle 27:27 against intemperance. 27:31 Well, friends, that's it for today 27:33 but joins us next week for another episode. 27:36 In the mean time pick up the phone 27:37 and give us a call at 800-525-9192. 27:43 Mention the NewStart Now program 27:46 and receive the NewStart special. |
