Every year in America
00:00:12.24\00:00:13.33
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:13.36\00:00:14.76
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.79\00:00:17.89
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.92\00:00:20.29
That's six and half,
747s crashing every day.
00:00:20.32\00:00:23.80
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:23.83\00:00:27.19
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.22\00:00:28.72
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually
00:00:28.75\00:00:30.48
add quality years
to your life rather
00:00:30.51\00:00:32.17
than dying of
one organ at a time?
00:00:32.20\00:00:34.86
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:34.89\00:00:36.52
of over million deaths per year.
00:00:36.55\00:00:39.17
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:39.20\00:00:41.22
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.25\00:00:44.13
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.16\00:00:47.65
Seriously now
they can be reversed
00:00:47.68\00:00:49.79
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:07.34\00:01:10.29
Hi, friends, and welcome to
00:01:12.39\00:01:13.76
another edition of Newstart Now.
00:01:13.79\00:01:15.80
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:15.83\00:01:18.14
In our studio we
have David Matsuura
00:01:18.17\00:01:21.17
from Hilo, Hawaii,
00:01:21.20\00:01:23.58
and I'd like to take a
look at when he first arrived
00:01:23.61\00:01:27.83
and watch for
little nervousness here.
00:01:27.86\00:01:32.10
I came to Weimer
00:01:32.13\00:01:33.16
because of my
high blood pressure.
00:01:33.19\00:01:35.04
About three months ago
00:01:35.07\00:01:36.16
I was gonna get
a procedure to fix
00:01:36.19\00:01:38.66
what this one
of the side effects
00:01:38.69\00:01:41.20
and when I went
into the hospital,
00:01:41.23\00:01:43.26
my blood
pressure was 250 over 130.
00:01:43.29\00:01:46.19
So they refuse
to do the treatment,
00:01:46.22\00:01:47.94
they refused and they sent me
00:01:47.97\00:01:49.09
direct way back to
where they are gonna admit me.
00:01:49.12\00:01:51.70
And they said, you got to this
blood pressure under control
00:01:51.73\00:01:55.11
if not we're not gonna help you.
00:01:55.14\00:01:57.37
This shaking I'm finding
out came from a side effect,
00:01:57.40\00:02:00.25
one of the
medications that I'm on.
00:02:00.28\00:02:02.62
I guess its some kind of a patch
00:02:02.65\00:02:05.27
that affects your brain
00:02:05.30\00:02:06.36
to control your
high blood pressure.
00:02:06.39\00:02:07.70
That's just one
of the medications.
00:02:07.73\00:02:09.52
The other medication is an alpha
00:02:09.55\00:02:11.09
and beta blocker
and a calcium blocker.
00:02:11.12\00:02:14.10
So now between those three
00:02:14.13\00:02:16.08
they pretty much
knock my quality of life
00:02:16.11\00:02:18.92
if we do suggestically.
00:02:18.95\00:02:20.94
It was hard for me to travel
00:02:20.97\00:02:22.40
because I travel a lot for work.
00:02:22.43\00:02:23.71
It was hard for me to work
00:02:23.74\00:02:24.77
because I'm a
farmer and a rancher.
00:02:24.80\00:02:26.93
So it's very
difficult to actually get out
00:02:26.96\00:02:29.59
and work in the
outside and repairing machinery
00:02:29.62\00:02:33.59
and doing my regular work
00:02:33.62\00:02:35.30
and it was just
making my life miserable.
00:02:35.33\00:02:39.97
Well, for me and my
wife, one of the main reasons
00:02:40.00\00:02:43.53
why we want to come over here is
00:02:43.56\00:02:44.88
because we do have
three grandchildren
00:02:44.91\00:02:46.68
and my youngest
daughter is now seven-years-old
00:02:46.71\00:02:49.64
and we just thought
its really important
00:02:49.67\00:02:52.02
though it will get health back
00:02:52.05\00:02:53.52
and get our
health back into order
00:02:53.55\00:02:54.90
so we can actually see
our other grandchildren
00:02:54.93\00:02:57.41
and from my other from
my daughters and my son.
00:02:57.44\00:03:02.92
Hi, friends, welcome back.
00:03:02.95\00:03:04.46
As I promised
David, how are you?
00:03:04.49\00:03:06.86
Good.
00:03:06.89\00:03:08.02
Well, you like a different man.
I feel like a different man.
00:03:08.05\00:03:11.01
So tell me what happened here?
00:03:11.04\00:03:15.45
What happened
since you've been here?
00:03:15.48\00:03:17.47
Well, I guess I got
off of my medication.
00:03:17.50\00:03:20.53
You got off all of
it? All of my medication.
00:03:20.56\00:03:22.82
When I first started out I
was using five medications,
00:03:22.85\00:03:25.79
five high blood
pressure medicines.
00:03:25.82\00:03:27.67
I'm in totally off now.
00:03:27.70\00:03:29.68
You were taking high
blood meds-- high blood meds.
00:03:29.71\00:03:32.83
Yeah. As I was,
I was taking two.
00:03:32.86\00:03:34.80
How many were you taking? Five.
00:03:34.83\00:03:36.57
You were taking five? Yeah.
00:03:36.60\00:03:38.47
And what happened in the hydro,
00:03:38.50\00:03:43.14
you shared with me earlier?
00:03:43.17\00:03:45.63
During my third day
00:03:45.66\00:03:46.74
I was in my
second day of my fast
00:03:46.77\00:03:48.51
then I would do a
hydro therapy treatment.
00:03:48.54\00:03:51.02
They it took a contrast shower,
00:03:51.05\00:03:53.02
and the last thing I remember
was my legs start to give out,
00:03:53.05\00:03:56.05
I start to wobble
00:03:56.08\00:03:57.64
and next thing I
knew I was looking up.
00:03:57.67\00:03:58.96
I had my
therapist looking over me
00:03:58.99\00:04:00.54
and I was
wondering what are you--
00:04:00.57\00:04:02.76
what was he doing?
00:04:02.79\00:04:03.83
And I was wondering
00:04:03.86\00:04:05.08
why am I lying down
on the shower floor?
00:04:05.11\00:04:08.65
So you had a
episode, you passed out.
00:04:08.68\00:04:12.30
Passed out too
low blood pressure.
00:04:12.33\00:04:14.07
So friends, I want
you pay attention to this,
00:04:14.10\00:04:17.33
he was talking three--
00:04:17.36\00:04:19.25
oh, five blood pressure
meds and he was on a fast,
00:04:19.28\00:04:24.63
he was cleansing his body
00:04:24.66\00:04:26.82
and of course
when you are eating
00:04:26.85\00:04:28.22
all these good pure foods.
00:04:28.25\00:04:30.87
You don't need the
blood pressure meds.
00:04:30.90\00:04:33.19
So what did the doctor do?
00:04:33.22\00:04:35.20
Took me right off the
blood pressure medications and--
00:04:35.23\00:04:37.37
And what happened?
00:04:37.40\00:04:38.46
Everything just stabilized,
00:04:38.49\00:04:39.54
by my blood pressure stabilized
for about the next three days.
00:04:39.57\00:04:43.01
And then I have to guess
00:04:43.04\00:04:44.08
once when I started to
really lose some weight,
00:04:44.11\00:04:46.91
I guess he said my-- I
start up and stabilized
00:04:46.94\00:04:49.30
and some of my fats
and all those medications
00:04:49.33\00:04:52.05
I've been taken over
years started to climb back out.
00:04:52.08\00:04:57.07
So that it spiked
up again a little bit,
00:04:57.10\00:04:59.24
it's driving my body
crazy 'cause I got-- first thing
00:04:59.27\00:05:02.00
I got all the side
effects from the medications.
00:05:02.03\00:05:04.18
All the side
effects came back to me.
00:05:04.21\00:05:06.06
I see.
00:05:06.09\00:05:07.12
So slowly by
slowly, well, I have been--
00:05:07.15\00:05:09.12
I passed my stressed test.
00:05:09.15\00:05:11.03
You did? Yep.
00:05:11.06\00:05:12.22
How much better did you do?
00:05:12.25\00:05:14.72
A lot better. Did you?
00:05:14.75\00:05:16.11
And this is with
on no meds this time.
00:05:16.14\00:05:17.82
No meds and how long did you go?
00:05:17.85\00:05:20.01
Over a nine minutes.
00:05:20.04\00:05:21.16
And how many minutes
did you go the first test?
00:05:21.19\00:05:23.05
I think over just about
eight little less than eight.
00:05:23.08\00:05:25.54
Oh, well, okay increased. Yeah.
00:05:25.57\00:05:28.05
Well, how do you
feel your blood pressure
00:05:28.08\00:05:30.31
how long did it
go without the meds?
00:05:30.34\00:05:32.75
When I knock out there's--
that I was a 110 or 80.
00:05:32.78\00:05:36.09
And without it I
was in the 200's.
00:05:36.12\00:05:38.04
Isn't that
amazing? That's amazing.
00:05:38.07\00:05:39.99
Do you still have-- now I know
00:05:40.02\00:05:41.77
we talked about this
before the interview.
00:05:41.80\00:05:44.10
You said and I said I do
too have white coat syndrome.
00:05:44.13\00:05:49.60
Do you still
have it? Definitely.
00:05:49.63\00:05:54.32
Almost as worse
as camera syndrome.
00:05:54.35\00:05:58.94
Now, I understand I
have the laugh with you
00:05:58.97\00:06:00.93
because I understand--
00:06:00.96\00:06:02.86
I go to here's
what I used to hate.
00:06:02.89\00:06:05.31
I go to my cardiologist,
00:06:05.34\00:06:06.96
I wait in the waiting
room for an hour and half.
00:06:06.99\00:06:09.71
I'd be just livid
and when I went in there
00:06:09.74\00:06:12.68
to get my blood
pressure, they'd say
00:06:12.71\00:06:14.73
oh, your blood pressure is high.
00:06:14.76\00:06:16.23
And I'd say no fooling.
00:06:16.26\00:06:17.96
I've been waiting out here
00:06:17.99\00:06:19.04
for an hour and
half for the doctor.
00:06:19.07\00:06:21.25
Oh, nonetheless I was--
I had a white coat thing,
00:06:21.28\00:06:25.38
which I think I
beaten at this point.
00:06:25.41\00:06:29.32
But sometime its--
it kind of elevates,
00:06:29.35\00:06:32.72
when I take it home no problem.
00:06:32.75\00:06:35.62
So do you have a
blood pressure cuff at home?
00:06:35.65\00:06:37.71
Yep, I don't even
leave home without it.
00:06:37.74\00:06:43.71
So what did you like
about the program here, David?
00:06:43.74\00:06:47.88
It taught me-- you know,
we sent a lot of friends here,
00:06:47.91\00:06:50.91
who basically were
almost ready to die
00:06:50.94\00:06:52.68
and Weimar did miracles on them.
00:06:52.71\00:06:54.69
Really?
00:06:54.72\00:06:55.76
And for me a for my
wife and I had-- we decided
00:06:55.79\00:06:58.46
after all those medication
that I went on it that--
00:06:58.49\00:07:00.34
and we have a
seven-year-old daughter,
00:07:00.37\00:07:02.31
I thought, you know
maybe its about time
00:07:02.34\00:07:03.97
I really start
taking my health seriously
00:07:04.00\00:07:05.83
because I want to
see my daughter graduate.
00:07:05.86\00:07:08.00
And get her
watch her get married
00:07:08.03\00:07:09.41
and see my other grandchildren.
00:07:09.44\00:07:11.52
So that -- too
many doctors told me
00:07:11.55\00:07:13.09
that I'm gonna drop dead
00:07:13.12\00:07:14.15
if I don't get
this thing under control
00:07:14.18\00:07:16.54
and medication wasn't working
00:07:16.57\00:07:18.03
and all this side
effects weren't really
00:07:18.06\00:07:19.94
working for me
either, said that.
00:07:19.97\00:07:22.11
I'm gonna come back
and follow my friends
00:07:22.14\00:07:23.79
that we send up
here, and let see
00:07:23.82\00:07:25.08
Weimar can do a miracle on us.
00:07:25.11\00:07:27.03
Yes.
00:07:27.06\00:07:28.41
Well, you know
that the miracle happens
00:07:28.44\00:07:31.74
with each and everyone
who comes here just about
00:07:31.77\00:07:38.42
just because they
change their lifestyle.
00:07:38.45\00:07:41.47
So when you get back home
00:07:41.50\00:07:45.63
what will you do
that you learned here.
00:07:45.66\00:07:49.53
Exercise more instead
of jumping on my tractors,
00:07:49.56\00:07:52.23
I'll be walking more.
00:07:52.26\00:07:53.47
Okay.
00:07:53.50\00:07:54.71
Eating a lot
better and getting rid
00:07:54.74\00:07:56.79
of all that meat
that and all that fat
00:07:56.82\00:07:59.59
and all the beautiful
Hawaii food that we're used to.
00:07:59.62\00:08:04.82
Now, you born Hawaii?
00:08:04.85\00:08:06.25
No, actually I was
born and raised in India.
00:08:06.28\00:08:08.13
In India?
00:08:08.16\00:08:10.06
Well, you've been
all over the world.
00:08:10.09\00:08:11.88
Yep, that's why
we love our food.
00:08:11.91\00:08:14.00
Yeah, I love Indian food.
00:08:14.03\00:08:17.02
Oh, gosh it's the
curries, oh, my gosh.
00:08:17.05\00:08:19.94
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:19.97\00:08:21.79
So is your wife
with you on this program?
00:08:21.82\00:08:24.45
Yes.
00:08:24.48\00:08:25.53
And she is-- Pre-diabetic.
00:08:25.56\00:08:28.64
She is
pre-diabetic, but no more.
00:08:28.67\00:08:31.49
No more, she actually--
00:08:31.52\00:08:32.82
she always does better
than me in all these programs.
00:08:32.85\00:08:34.89
And she'd left her
diabetes first week in here.
00:08:34.92\00:08:39.81
No more signs at all. No
signs, levels all below 100.
00:08:39.84\00:08:45.42
Okay, what about the people
here of the Newstart program.
00:08:45.45\00:08:49.90
Did you get the treatments
00:08:49.93\00:08:52.05
that you thought
you were gonna get?
00:08:52.08\00:08:53.80
Yeah, well, we
didn't know really
00:08:53.83\00:08:55.56
what to expect
other than we knew
00:08:55.59\00:08:57.17
we would be
eating vegan vegetarian.
00:08:57.20\00:08:59.84
That was the biggest,
that was we're our biggest fear
00:08:59.87\00:09:02.31
and our culture shock
was gonna be at the food.
00:09:02.34\00:09:05.16
All the rest was just
gravy 'cause that we knew
00:09:05.19\00:09:07.35
if you can handle the
food everything else is golden.
00:09:07.38\00:09:12.27
And the food
turned out to be great.
00:09:12.30\00:09:14.12
You know that
was my fear as well,
00:09:14.15\00:09:15.68
'cause I was raised Italian.
00:09:15.71\00:09:17.79
Oh, gosh.
00:09:17.82\00:09:18.85
And we eat
everything under the sun.
00:09:18.88\00:09:21.58
Just like us Hawaiians.
Yeah, just like the Hawaiians.
00:09:21.61\00:09:24.52
And I was a little
nervous but I loved the food.
00:09:24.55\00:09:27.39
Yeah, we had mash
potatoes and gravy
00:09:27.42\00:09:30.05
and meat loaf on
the cooking class
00:09:30.08\00:09:31.73
and wow, that was,
that was something else.
00:09:31.76\00:09:34.64
That was a great experience.
That was a great experience.
00:09:34.67\00:09:37.25
So what's gonna be
different when you get home?
00:09:37.28\00:09:41.96
I think, my kids are may be
00:09:41.99\00:09:43.64
going to a little
bit culture shock,
00:09:43.67\00:09:45.04
just like how we did
but they'll get over it.
00:09:45.07\00:09:47.72
I think with the-- once
they see my wife and I health,
00:09:47.75\00:09:52.12
how we drastically
changed, how we lost weight,
00:09:52.15\00:09:54.57
I think they will be
ready to kind of rid over.
00:09:54.60\00:09:57.61
You know we
have the market here,
00:09:57.64\00:10:00.15
there's a lot of cookbooks.
00:10:00.18\00:10:03.08
Yeah.
00:10:03.11\00:10:04.14
Did you get any, pick up any?
00:10:04.17\00:10:05.80
Oh, we got them all. Oh, good.
00:10:05.83\00:10:07.73
And we got the
websites so we were pretty--
00:10:07.76\00:10:11.62
my wife is pretty much at
everything that lock down,
00:10:11.65\00:10:15.34
figured out what
is she is gonna do.
00:10:15.37\00:10:17.57
She is-- she is the chef
that's so in our house so.
00:10:17.60\00:10:20.95
So did Weimar's Newstart
program meet your expectations?
00:10:20.98\00:10:26.05
Yeah, definitely.
00:10:26.08\00:10:28.45
And you'd recommend it? I
would highly recommend it.
00:10:28.48\00:10:30.57
I-- we sent the
friends who are almost
00:10:30.60\00:10:32.63
who on modern
medicine gave up on
00:10:32.66\00:10:35.43
and their vibrant
living brand new lives in Hilo.
00:10:35.46\00:10:40.84
You're a farmer. Yes.
00:10:40.87\00:10:43.98
Were you walking on the farm?
00:10:44.01\00:10:46.64
I thought I was but
I kind of look back,
00:10:46.67\00:10:49.22
I think I was riding my--
00:10:49.25\00:10:50.49
our ATVs and our tractors
little bit of too many times.
00:10:50.52\00:10:55.03
Now, I think I got to do
some more walk it on the farm
00:10:55.06\00:10:57.45
and instead of
riding all machines there.
00:10:57.48\00:11:00.19
All you got to do
is park those tractors
00:11:00.22\00:11:02.43
and ATVs about two
miles away from the house.
00:11:02.46\00:11:06.43
And away from
my child and house.
00:11:06.46\00:11:07.97
There you go.
00:11:08.00\00:11:09.25
Make me walk back
and forth to my child.
00:11:09.28\00:11:13.45
So, David, will you--
00:11:13.48\00:11:19.45
will you recommend the program
00:11:19.48\00:11:22.49
more or less since now
you've been through it.
00:11:22.52\00:11:25.06
I think a lot
more, 'cause I can really
00:11:25.09\00:11:26.99
actually give a personal
account of how it helped me.
00:11:27.02\00:11:30.17
How was it that you recommended
people you never been here?
00:11:30.20\00:11:34.46
I heard about Weimar,
00:11:34.49\00:11:36.77
we sent two friends that
literally were gonna die.
00:11:36.80\00:11:40.01
The doctor modern medicine
but I think because Weimar
00:11:40.04\00:11:44.86
its a change of a lifestyle,
and unless we want to--
00:11:44.89\00:11:47.92
unless I guess for
us specially in Hawaii,
00:11:47.95\00:11:52.03
we got to be at
that point in our lives
00:11:52.06\00:11:53.82
that we're willing
to give up our lifestyle
00:11:53.85\00:11:56.46
or our lifestyle
for a new lifestyle.
00:11:56.49\00:11:58.87
So they are so sick
and tired of this shaking
00:11:58.90\00:12:01.35
all the side effects
of the medical problems
00:12:01.38\00:12:03.68
that we're going to
give up a lifestyle.
00:12:03.71\00:12:06.08
I think when we hit-- you
know people hit that point,
00:12:06.11\00:12:08.67
that's where I think
we all come over here
00:12:08.70\00:12:11.29
and say okay, I quit.
00:12:11.32\00:12:13.04
I'm willing to
change, do anything,
00:12:13.07\00:12:15.65
vegan vegetarian no matter
00:12:15.68\00:12:17.08
what our preconceived
idea of vegan vegetarian is
00:12:17.11\00:12:20.71
and we're willing to change
00:12:20.74\00:12:21.77
just for the
betterment of our health.
00:12:21.80\00:12:24.22
David, thank you
so much for joining us
00:12:24.25\00:12:27.21
and I'll be in touch with you.
00:12:27.24\00:12:28.61
I'll be following up. Okay.
00:12:28.64\00:12:30.14
In the weeks and months to come.
00:12:30.17\00:12:31.93
Yes, friends, don't go away,
00:12:31.96\00:12:33.62
we have a
important message for you
00:12:33.65\00:12:36.03
followed by an
interview with Doctor Ing,
00:12:36.06\00:12:38.97
our Newstart director.
00:12:39.00\00:12:40.91
Welcome back friends,
and in our studio Dr. Ing.
00:13:13.83\00:13:16.91
It's a pleasure.
00:13:16.94\00:13:17.97
Yes, Dr. Ing,
I'd like the viewers
00:13:18.00\00:13:20.99
to know little bit about you.
00:13:21.02\00:13:23.46
And we know that you're the--
00:13:23.49\00:13:26.29
what is your
personal title here?
00:13:26.32\00:13:28.03
Medical director of
the Newstart program.
00:13:28.06\00:13:30.41
And you have
boards in how many areas?
00:13:30.44\00:13:34.14
Two areas the Lord is blessed
00:13:34.17\00:13:35.89
and I've been privileged
to have two residencies.
00:13:35.92\00:13:39.49
My first residency
is an ophthalmology,
00:13:39.52\00:13:41.80
so I'm an eye surgeon.
00:13:41.83\00:13:43.66
And I've done lots--
lots of cataract surgery
00:13:43.69\00:13:46.93
and surgery for
glaucoma's and even try to--
00:13:46.96\00:13:50.77
I mean even
help people get along
00:13:50.80\00:13:52.37
without glasses by
doing refractive surgery.
00:13:52.40\00:13:55.03
So the Lord is
blessed He's been--
00:13:55.06\00:13:56.89
I've been
privileged to do these things.
00:13:56.92\00:13:59.18
And the other residency
00:13:59.21\00:14:00.51
which I was
encouraged to do by my hospital
00:14:00.54\00:14:03.41
when I was working in Singapore,
00:14:03.44\00:14:05.33
was a prevented
medicine residency.
00:14:05.36\00:14:07.96
So I think finish both of these
and thanks to Gods blessing,
00:14:07.99\00:14:12.61
when I take the board
exams He helped me pass
00:14:12.64\00:14:15.15
so I give Him the honor,
the glory and the credit.
00:14:15.18\00:14:18.01
It has been a real
blessing to use these
00:14:18.04\00:14:20.69
to help people learn
how to live more healthfully
00:14:20.72\00:14:24.69
and to help them
to see physically
00:14:24.72\00:14:27.49
and even more exiting as we work
00:14:27.52\00:14:29.56
in the area of
lifestyle medicine,
00:14:29.59\00:14:31.39
to help them gain
spiritual insides as well.
00:14:31.42\00:14:35.13
Well, said.
00:14:35.16\00:14:36.48
You know, I know you have
a masters in public health.
00:14:36.51\00:14:39.76
Did you get that here
00:14:39.79\00:14:41.21
state side or
was it in the east?
00:14:41.24\00:14:44.64
Oh, that was state side.
00:14:44.67\00:14:45.72
That was part of my
prevented medicine residency.
00:14:45.75\00:14:48.60
So my wife and I
came back from Singapore
00:14:48.63\00:14:52.36
and we've started our
masters in public health
00:14:52.39\00:14:55.26
and we wanted this to
be in the area of nutrition
00:14:55.29\00:14:58.21
because one of the
keystones of healthful living
00:14:58.24\00:15:00.53
is the food that you eat.
00:15:00.56\00:15:02.19
So we wanted to
learn about this,
00:15:02.22\00:15:04.17
and to understand this so
that if people ask questions
00:15:04.20\00:15:08.51
we would be able to answer them
00:15:08.54\00:15:10.24
and give them
the correct answer.
00:15:10.27\00:15:11.86
There's so much information
available on the internet
00:15:11.89\00:15:16.20
and in the media but
not all of it is true.
00:15:16.23\00:15:20.07
Did they able to
sort out what is true
00:15:20.10\00:15:22.43
from what is not
true is really important.
00:15:22.46\00:15:25.23
And the other
wonderful thing about this
00:15:25.26\00:15:26.92
we had wonderful
teachers and instructors
00:15:26.95\00:15:29.68
so that if we
would have questions
00:15:29.71\00:15:31.94
which even though
we knew the answers
00:15:31.97\00:15:34.94
it was advisable than to
00:15:34.97\00:15:37.26
getting more
authoritative source,
00:15:37.29\00:15:39.01
so we would ask our
teachers and they would respond
00:15:39.04\00:15:41.30
and they were very
gracious and kind in this way.
00:15:41.33\00:15:44.27
So the Lord has blessed,
it's been a real exciting
00:15:44.30\00:15:47.52
and wonderful journey,
working together with Him
00:15:47.55\00:15:50.98
and with our
staff here at Weimar
00:15:51.01\00:15:54.07
and helping people learn
how to live more healthfully.
00:15:54.10\00:15:57.28
You know, you now told
me why you are so gracious
00:15:57.31\00:16:01.21
and willing to call
people at 10-11 at night.
00:16:01.24\00:16:05.06
Because when we first
spoke some 10 years ago,
00:16:05.09\00:16:08.70
you called me back
because I made a call
00:16:08.73\00:16:10.85
to Newstart to
Weimar and they said
00:16:10.88\00:16:14.02
well, the doctor will
call you later this evening.
00:16:14.05\00:16:16.33
I think you
called me about 10-10.30
00:16:16.36\00:16:18.97
and you spent a
long time on the phone.
00:16:19.00\00:16:21.55
And now I know
where you got that.
00:16:21.58\00:16:23.77
Well, yes, in
fact even last night
00:16:23.80\00:16:27.90
I was talking to someone
who has some interest in.
00:16:27.93\00:16:30.65
I didn't make my call to
stop my calls well after 10.
00:16:30.68\00:16:34.12
I figured this would be
okay 'cause it was a physician
00:16:34.15\00:16:38.44
and we talked
like for half an hour.
00:16:38.47\00:16:41.17
But he was
interested in what we do here
00:16:41.20\00:16:43.28
at Weimar in
the Newstart program
00:16:43.31\00:16:45.58
and so we had nice visit.
00:16:45.61\00:16:47.51
Now I wanted to ask you--
sure the viewers are curious,
00:16:47.54\00:16:52.01
was it a difficult transition
and my mind as a layperson
00:16:52.04\00:16:57.21
to go from what
we call an eye doctor
00:16:57.24\00:17:00.78
into being a
regular N.D. type doctor.
00:17:00.81\00:17:04.65
I mean where's--
how do you do that?
00:17:04.68\00:17:07.26
Well, not really because working
00:17:07.29\00:17:09.08
as a missionary overseas
00:17:09.11\00:17:11.24
we have to see
general medical patients which
00:17:11.27\00:17:14.08
and we have to be
on call in the hospital
00:17:14.11\00:17:16.69
to take emergency call.
00:17:16.72\00:17:18.47
And so we would get patients
00:17:18.50\00:17:19.85
that would come in with
all kinds of regular problems.
00:17:19.88\00:17:23.62
You know headaches,
vomiting, soar throat,
00:17:23.65\00:17:26.09
even what we call
upper GI, bleeding,
00:17:26.12\00:17:29.71
you know vomiting
blood and things like this.
00:17:29.74\00:17:32.62
And so we would have to see them
00:17:32.65\00:17:34.60
and recognize
what's their needs were
00:17:34.63\00:17:37.62
and admit them
and take care of them.
00:17:37.65\00:17:40.32
But after I done this
just for a little bit of time,
00:17:40.35\00:17:42.74
I would still go
ahead and admit them
00:17:42.77\00:17:44.94
but I would then refer them
to the appropriate specialist.
00:17:44.97\00:17:48.50
So rather than me
taking care of someone
00:17:48.53\00:17:51.30
who has the gastrointestinal
bleeding which--
00:17:51.33\00:17:55.59
its much better for me
and for that type of patient
00:17:55.62\00:17:57.59
who were surgeons.
00:17:57.62\00:17:58.67
So the hospital agreed
that that was wise and prudent
00:17:58.70\00:18:01.01
and it worked fine.
00:18:01.04\00:18:03.07
But so they-- that
way you keep in touch
00:18:03.10\00:18:04.93
with general medicine
00:18:04.96\00:18:06.36
and then the transition to what
we now call lifestyle medicine
00:18:06.39\00:18:09.85
where we work helping
people change their lifestyle.
00:18:09.88\00:18:13.85
Because this is
really exciting especially
00:18:13.88\00:18:16.34
working with
people with diabetes
00:18:16.37\00:18:18.54
as you recognize
from working with Newstart
00:18:18.57\00:18:21.92
40 percent of the
individuals with type 2 diabetes
00:18:21.95\00:18:26.08
if they will
follow the guidelines
00:18:26.11\00:18:27.95
that we give them can
have normal blood sugars
00:18:27.98\00:18:31.87
without use of any medication
00:18:31.90\00:18:34.30
and out this 60 percent is
still need to use medication.
00:18:34.33\00:18:38.55
We can get better
control with less medication.
00:18:38.58\00:18:40.96
People are really
excited about that
00:18:40.99\00:18:42.69
because you know many
times they have been told
00:18:42.72\00:18:46.30
here's your
prescribe for medicine
00:18:46.33\00:18:48.06
take it this is
the rest of your life.
00:18:48.09\00:18:49.42
Oh, sure right,
they told me that.
00:18:49.45\00:18:52.02
But there's a
problem with something called
00:18:52.05\00:18:53.52
the insulin resistance
00:18:53.55\00:18:54.65
and when we address that
problem of insulin resistance
00:18:54.68\00:18:57.98
we find out that
many people can abide
00:18:58.01\00:19:00.59
with much less medication.
00:19:00.62\00:19:02.52
So we hope our
listeners will want to come
00:19:02.55\00:19:04.35
to one of our
reversing diabetes programs.
00:19:04.38\00:19:06.84
Well, I hope so and of
course that's one of the ways
00:19:06.87\00:19:11.21
we communicate to our listeners
00:19:11.24\00:19:14.06
is through our stations
that we broadcast through.
00:19:14.09\00:19:18.08
Hopefully that will
help thousands of people.
00:19:18.11\00:19:22.69
Some people will come
to the Newstart program
00:19:22.72\00:19:25.00
as you know others may go
to other lifestyles centers.
00:19:25.03\00:19:29.90
Now, about David I wanted
to just briefly touch on him.
00:19:29.93\00:19:33.64
He told us in an interview
00:19:33.67\00:19:35.10
he was off five
blood pressure meds,
00:19:35.13\00:19:38.61
and there's blood pressure kind
of stabilized for a little bit
00:19:38.64\00:19:42.25
but gradually went up.
00:19:42.28\00:19:44.46
He has a white coat syndrome
did that have anything to do
00:19:44.49\00:19:49.83
with his
elevated blood pressure?
00:19:49.86\00:19:53.34
Its certainly
could, we worked with him
00:19:53.37\00:19:56.00
and trying to help him
get his blood pressure down
00:19:56.03\00:20:00.15
and he tried getting
along without medication.
00:20:00.18\00:20:03.81
And it was much
higher than either of us
00:20:03.84\00:20:07.26
were comfortable with.
00:20:07.29\00:20:08.82
So what was
really exciting is that,
00:20:08.85\00:20:12.06
finally when he
started the medications
00:20:12.09\00:20:16.28
that he was using one of them
00:20:16.31\00:20:18.04
he was able to
control his blood pressure
00:20:18.07\00:20:19.53
with one medication without
the side effects that he had.
00:20:19.56\00:20:23.34
And he felt
good, no side effects
00:20:23.37\00:20:26.37
and we had to
control medications
00:20:26.40\00:20:27.91
which we weren't
able to do before.
00:20:27.94\00:20:29.92
So he did make very definite
improvement because of this.
00:20:29.95\00:20:33.27
Excellent. Dr. Ing,
I want to thank you.
00:20:33.30\00:20:36.14
You are so
gracious to take your time,
00:20:36.17\00:20:38.94
I know we have a
session in right now
00:20:38.97\00:20:41.70
and you are a busy man
and I want to thank you
00:20:41.73\00:20:44.08
for coming up
and visiting with us.
00:20:44.11\00:20:46.50
I'll see you again
very soon. Thank you.
00:20:46.53\00:20:49.09
And friends, don't go away
because up next Michelle Irwin,
00:20:49.12\00:20:53.37
will be with us for a
short cooking demonstration
00:20:53.40\00:20:56.78
and then, Dr.
David DeRose will join us
00:20:56.81\00:21:00.23
with the little
information on addictive foods.
00:21:00.26\00:21:04.54
I will teach you how to
make a stuffed baked potato
00:21:11.37\00:21:13.93
that's absolutely
delicious and so nutritious.
00:21:13.96\00:21:17.31
We're gonna start
with the yellow, gold,
00:21:17.34\00:21:19.44
Yukon Gold potatoes.
00:21:19.47\00:21:20.51
It's always better to go
with a color potato versus
00:21:20.54\00:21:23.49
just a raw sweet potato,
00:21:23.52\00:21:24.55
'cause it's gonna be a
lot lower in glycemic index
00:21:24.58\00:21:27.81
and it's gonna
have more nutrition.
00:21:27.84\00:21:29.58
We're gonna top it of
with some black olives
00:21:29.61\00:21:31.86
which are really
good, saturated fat.
00:21:31.89\00:21:34.35
We're gonna add
some steamed broccoli
00:21:34.38\00:21:36.86
which is really
high, anticancerigeno,
00:21:36.89\00:21:39.91
its really high use for
us and those are the things
00:21:39.94\00:21:41.89
that you want to
add to your diet.
00:21:41.92\00:21:43.89
We're gonna add some tomato
00:21:43.92\00:21:45.51
and that's really good source
of lycopene and vitamin C.
00:21:45.54\00:21:48.89
And I'm gonna out some
white cheese sauce on here
00:21:48.92\00:21:51.41
and you can find this dairy free
00:21:51.44\00:21:53.00
cheese sauce on our website.
00:21:53.03\00:21:54.86
Its all plant based.
00:21:54.89\00:21:56.24
And I'm also
gonna top it out with
00:21:56.27\00:21:57.74
one of our dairy
free plant based,
00:21:57.77\00:22:00.55
sour cream entire recipes.
00:22:00.58\00:22:02.80
I'm also gonna put a
little bit of cucumber
00:22:02.83\00:22:04.63
which is optional
and some green onions.
00:22:04.66\00:22:06.82
This is optional,
but you're gonna see
00:22:06.85\00:22:08.23
how beautiful this
recipe is and nutritious it is.
00:22:08.26\00:22:11.49
Okay, so I'm just gonna go ahead
00:22:11.52\00:22:12.59
and cut some of
my cucumber here,
00:22:12.62\00:22:17.72
and I like to use this cucumbers
00:22:17.75\00:22:19.98
these are hothouse
cucumbers and you can see
00:22:20.01\00:22:22.90
they don't have
a lot seeds in them
00:22:22.93\00:22:25.06
but cucumbers are
really healthy for your diets.
00:22:25.09\00:22:28.23
There-- they're
actually a fruit by the way
00:22:28.26\00:22:31.71
because they have seeds.
00:22:31.74\00:22:32.79
I'm just gonna chop
some of these up slices.
00:22:32.82\00:22:35.52
And you don't need that many
00:22:35.55\00:22:36.58
because we're just gonna
top it of on our baked potato.
00:22:36.61\00:22:39.95
I'm gonna add
some green onions too.
00:22:39.98\00:22:41.83
The way you do a green onion
00:22:41.86\00:22:43.25
is I like to
take the tops of them,
00:22:43.28\00:22:45.78
because I don't want
to have any other wilted.
00:22:45.81\00:22:49.02
When they get
dry or when they stay
00:22:49.05\00:22:50.37
on the shelf sometimes they
get a little wilt like that,
00:22:50.40\00:22:52.92
and then I'm
gonna reline up again
00:22:52.95\00:22:54.61
and I'm gonna take
these little roots off.
00:22:54.64\00:22:58.47
And then we're
just gonna go head
00:22:58.50\00:23:00.19
and line the green
ends back up again,
00:23:00.22\00:23:02.03
and I'm just gonna cut
them into little circles.
00:23:02.06\00:23:07.11
And you don't need that many.
00:23:07.14\00:23:08.32
You can use the white
part of that green onion too
00:23:08.35\00:23:10.42
but I like the green.
00:23:10.45\00:23:11.64
And now what I want to do is,
00:23:11.67\00:23:12.70
I'm just gonna go ahead
and assemble some things,
00:23:12.73\00:23:15.00
cut my potato,
00:23:15.03\00:23:17.99
and I have to
cut in for as here.
00:23:18.02\00:23:21.40
We'll add some
of our broccoli...
00:23:21.43\00:23:24.24
and this is a wonderful meal.
00:23:27.74\00:23:29.17
I mean, really its so filling
00:23:29.20\00:23:33.67
and then we'll add
some of our black olives,
00:23:33.70\00:23:37.93
few of my cucumber here
to get some nice texture.
00:23:37.96\00:23:42.37
And then I will go
ahead cut this tomato too.
00:23:42.40\00:23:47.17
Tomatoes aren't
seasoned right now
00:23:47.20\00:23:48.46
where I live in California
and there's so delicious.
00:23:48.49\00:23:52.14
Sometimes you get the stored
00:23:52.17\00:23:53.31
and it's like they
are just not every good.
00:23:53.34\00:23:55.50
So when you can use fresh,
home grown tomatoes do it.
00:23:55.53\00:23:59.60
It's worked the
flavor and of course
00:23:59.63\00:24:01.91
it's so much better than
00:24:01.94\00:24:03.16
what you can buy in
the groceries store.
00:24:03.19\00:24:06.34
I'll add these
tomatoes to our dish.
00:24:06.37\00:24:09.13
And then I will just add
some of my cheese sauce here.
00:24:12.40\00:24:15.17
And this is better than anything
00:24:19.44\00:24:20.69
you can get in any
restaurant I'm telling you.
00:24:20.72\00:24:23.68
And well, add a little
garlic of our sour cream.
00:24:23.71\00:24:28.06
Top it off with
some of our green onion
00:24:28.09\00:24:31.56
and there you
have a simple quick
00:24:31.59\00:24:33.90
and easy nutritious
potato with lots of love.
00:24:33.93\00:24:38.81
Welcome to Ask the
Doctor. I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:24:44.41\00:24:47.00
We're taking
your questions today
00:24:47.03\00:24:48.79
and we're going right to
a question from Minnesota,
00:24:48.82\00:24:51.55
it's from Jonathan.
00:24:51.58\00:24:52.88
And Jonathan asks, is it true
00:24:52.91\00:24:55.84
that certain
foods are addictive?
00:24:55.87\00:24:58.92
If so what kinds?
00:24:58.95\00:25:01.69
It's a great question Jonathan,
and it's not a simple question
00:25:01.72\00:25:05.83
because many people
as I've worked with them
00:25:05.86\00:25:08.37
over the years
with both the background
00:25:08.40\00:25:09.99
in internal medicine
and preventive medicine.
00:25:10.02\00:25:12.46
I've gone on this journey
with multiple individuals
00:25:12.49\00:25:15.49
helping them
change their lifestyle.
00:25:15.52\00:25:17.39
And what one person would
define as an addictive food
00:25:17.42\00:25:20.31
for someone else is
not a problem at all.
00:25:20.34\00:25:22.19
Let me give you some examples,
00:25:22.22\00:25:23.53
many of my patience
over the years have said
00:25:23.56\00:25:25.40
they an addictive
relationship with ice cream.
00:25:25.43\00:25:28.55
Other have labeled
chocolate as an addictive food.
00:25:28.58\00:25:32.60
Other have said you know what
00:25:32.63\00:25:33.95
I simply cannot control
my consumption of chips.
00:25:33.98\00:25:38.30
Here's is the basic
point I want to make for you.
00:25:38.33\00:25:40.81
If you are having
trouble controlling
00:25:40.84\00:25:43.09
your consumption
of a certain food,
00:25:43.12\00:25:45.01
why don't we label that
a frank addiction or not,
00:25:45.04\00:25:47.97
you have an issue with that food
00:25:48.00\00:25:50.61
and actually in my experience
the safest course to take
00:25:50.64\00:25:53.88
is making a clean
break with that item.
00:25:53.91\00:25:57.24
And that may sound
very-- may sound very difficult.
00:25:57.27\00:26:00.73
You say look at, of course I got
00:26:00.76\00:26:02.49
an addictive
relationship with chocolate.
00:26:02.52\00:26:04.27
I'm eating four pounds a day
00:26:04.30\00:26:05.89
and you want me
to make clean break.
00:26:05.92\00:26:07.48
What about just eating
one Snickers bar a week?
00:26:07.51\00:26:10.35
The problem with
the cutting down method
00:26:10.38\00:26:13.38
is that if you
really have a problem,
00:26:13.41\00:26:15.95
an addictive relationship
with the food cutting back
00:26:15.98\00:26:19.56
actually can
merely be slow torture.
00:26:19.59\00:26:22.43
You never
develop new enjoyments,
00:26:22.46\00:26:24.35
you never develop new habits.
00:26:24.38\00:26:26.29
If you make a
clean break with the food
00:26:26.32\00:26:28.21
that's causing you a problems,
00:26:28.24\00:26:29.44
you can free yourself to develop
00:26:29.47\00:26:31.75
those new
enjoyments, develop new habits
00:26:31.78\00:26:34.27
and go on with a
healthy and happy life.
00:26:34.30\00:26:37.52
People that I've
said who tried to be
00:26:37.55\00:26:39.47
on the very limited regiment.
00:26:39.50\00:26:42.23
Yeah, sure there's
that occasional person
00:26:42.26\00:26:44.26
who can satisfied with
a half of chocolate kiss
00:26:44.29\00:26:47.86
after every meal.
00:26:47.89\00:26:49.19
But most people they have
got problems with chocolate,
00:26:49.22\00:26:51.71
clean break the best strategy,
00:26:51.74\00:26:53.39
whether you call
it an addiction or not
00:26:53.42\00:26:55.06
the success lies in
the cutting those chords
00:26:55.09\00:26:58.33
that are tying
you to those things
00:26:58.36\00:26:59.81
that are holding you
back from optimal health.
00:26:59.84\00:27:03.13
You are killing me.
00:27:03.16\00:27:04.51
You are killing me.
00:27:07.69\00:27:09.37
Actually dad, you
are killing yourself.
