Every year in America,
there are over 1 million deaths
00:00:12.25\00:00:14.76
because of type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.79\00:00:17.84
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.87\00:00:20.15
That's six and half
747s crashing everyday.
00:00:20.18\00:00:23.77
What's even most surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:23.80\00:00:27.17
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.20\00:00:28.55
Wouldn't it be nice
00:00:28.58\00:00:29.62
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:00:29.65\00:00:31.97
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:32.00\00:00:34.85
Obesity and diabetes
00:00:34.88\00:00:36.08
are the cause of over
million deaths per year.
00:00:36.11\00:00:39.11
Most diseases are reversible,
00:00:39.14\00:00:41.30
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.33\00:00:44.11
especially type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.14\00:00:47.62
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:47.65\00:00:49.90
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

Hi friends and welcome
00:01:13.14\00:01:14.47
to another
addition of Newstart Now.
00:01:14.50\00:01:17.09
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.12\00:01:19.65
We have an incredible--
don't turn that down,
00:01:19.68\00:01:22.62
we have an incredible story,
00:01:22.65\00:01:24.89
Maggie Heller is here
with us, from Sacramento,
00:01:24.92\00:01:30.13
let's take a look at
when Maggie first arrived.
00:01:30.16\00:01:33.32
I'm too heavy for my feet
now, too heavy for my knees,
00:01:36.25\00:01:40.29
my hips, my body, anything,
I can barely shuffle around.
00:01:40.32\00:01:46.76
My diabetes is out of control,
I'm having a hysterectomy
00:01:46.79\00:01:52.15
on the 19th of June
00:01:52.18\00:01:57.62
and so I can't stay
for the whole program
00:01:57.65\00:02:00.21
but my doctor wanted me
to get as healthy as I could,
00:02:00.24\00:02:05.29
as fast I could,
00:02:05.32\00:02:07.11
so he encouraged me
that he'd still come
00:02:07.14\00:02:09.99
and not bail on this
and come another time.
00:02:10.02\00:02:14.15
I haven't gone in my
yard for two years now.
00:02:14.18\00:02:17.68
I'm probably pretty depressed,
00:02:17.71\00:02:21.57
but I would like to get
back to doing all of that.
00:02:21.60\00:02:25.23
I fell off the wagon pretty bad
and now my Diabetes is not good
00:02:25.26\00:02:31.35
and I will probably
not live too much longer
00:02:31.38\00:02:36.55
if I keep going like I am.
00:02:36.58\00:02:38.64
Hi friends, and welcome
back. Maggie, how are you, dear?
00:02:41.86\00:02:45.39
I'm very well, thank you, sir.
00:02:45.42\00:02:46.98
I'm really
excited to talk about this
00:02:47.01\00:02:49.23
because we don't
have too many people
00:02:49.26\00:02:52.55
that come to a
session and leave,
00:02:52.58\00:02:55.17
then come back
to a second session.
00:02:55.20\00:02:57.97
Let's talk about that
briefly, is that okay, with you?
00:02:58.00\00:03:00.15
Yes.
00:03:00.18\00:03:01.21
So you were here
in June for 11 days,
00:03:01.24\00:03:03.92
and you are left why?
00:03:03.95\00:03:05.89
Because two days later I was
going to have a hysterectomy.
00:03:05.92\00:03:09.51
And you had a
robotic hysterectomy?
00:03:09.54\00:03:12.06
I did.
00:03:12.09\00:03:13.12
And they put a
couple of incisions on you,
00:03:13.15\00:03:15.59
you described it to me briefly.
00:03:15.62\00:03:17.17
Yes, they give you
five cuts in your belly
00:03:17.20\00:03:19.88
and they have a right and a left
00:03:19.91\00:03:22.12
and another right and a left
00:03:22.15\00:03:23.52
and fifth one is a
camera with a light on it.
00:03:23.55\00:03:27.42
And no pain, right?
00:03:27.45\00:03:28.48
No pain.
00:03:28.51\00:03:29.59
And you just-- At all.
00:03:29.62\00:03:30.65
That was a success?
00:03:30.68\00:03:31.73
Yes, when it was over,
00:03:31.76\00:03:33.12
I didn't believe it was
over because I had no pain.
00:03:33.15\00:03:36.10
You were
expecting all kinds of pain?
00:03:36.13\00:03:37.86
And my cancer was,
it said in the test
00:03:37.89\00:03:41.31
that there was no
micro invasion of cancer
00:03:41.34\00:03:44.98
anywhere else and so,
00:03:45.01\00:03:46.71
I was basically
healed after the surgery.
00:03:46.74\00:03:50.42
Amen. Now you came to
the Newstart program in June.
00:03:50.45\00:03:55.26
Yes.
00:03:55.29\00:03:56.32
Now you've come back
in July... To finish.
00:03:56.35\00:03:59.43
And to finish up.
00:03:59.46\00:04:01.64
You came because you had cancer,
00:04:01.67\00:04:04.36
you came because you
had high blood pressure,
00:04:04.39\00:04:08.03
you were diabetic,
00:04:08.06\00:04:09.62
in fact on the verge of going
on dialysis, is that correct?
00:04:09.65\00:04:15.32
No, well, I
didn't-- they didn't tell me
00:04:15.35\00:04:18.66
I was going have it done,
00:04:18.69\00:04:20.23
but they said I was
getting close to it.
00:04:20.26\00:04:21.91
You were getting, that
was enough information for me.
00:04:21.94\00:04:23.84
Yes, I was frightened.
00:04:23.87\00:04:25.36
Yeah, I would have been scared.
00:04:25.39\00:04:27.27
Yes, I was frightened.
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.12
So tell us, you're
here for the second time,
00:04:29.15\00:04:33.40
this time for 10, 18
more days or whatever it is.
00:04:33.43\00:04:38.45
Eleven more days.
00:04:38.48\00:04:39.52
What's happened
since you been back?
00:04:39.55\00:04:41.45
Well, since I been back,
00:04:41.48\00:04:44.02
I have lowered my
blood pressure medicine
00:04:44.05\00:04:46.95
from 30 units down to 10,
00:04:46.98\00:04:49.37
and now my blood
pressure is normal.
00:04:49.40\00:04:50.85
I'm walking an
hour a day or more.
00:04:50.88\00:04:54.60
I'm working up to
three miles a day,
00:04:54.63\00:04:58.83
I have taken a test that proves
that I'm still making insulin
00:04:58.86\00:05:06.57
and I'm in normal range of that,
00:05:06.60\00:05:09.07
and I brought my cholesterol
way, way, way, way, way down.
00:05:09.10\00:05:12.99
So do you feel like
you were successful here?
00:05:13.02\00:05:19.67
Absolutely, I'm so glad I
came, I love the lectures,
00:05:19.70\00:05:23.57
and the food is awesome
and the people are wonderful.
00:05:23.60\00:05:27.07
The doctors are awesome.
00:05:27.10\00:05:28.23
They are, I love them both.
00:05:28.26\00:05:29.91
Yeah, they're all my friends
00:05:29.94\00:05:31.99
and I'm really grateful to
be able to be here with them.
00:05:32.02\00:05:36.61
What do you think
about the food, Mag?
00:05:36.64\00:05:38.38
Oh, the food.
00:05:38.41\00:05:39.62
You mind if I call you Mag?
00:05:39.65\00:05:40.74
No, it's all right. Okay.
00:05:40.77\00:05:42.26
Food, oh, it's--
I'm a foodie anyway.
00:05:42.29\00:05:45.02
You're a foodie?
00:05:45.05\00:05:46.13
Yes, I love the food,
00:05:46.16\00:05:48.09
I love the beautiful
array of delicious salads
00:05:48.12\00:05:51.55
with all the items that
they have on the salad bar,
00:05:51.58\00:05:56.26
they have olives and
red peppers and cucumbers
00:05:56.29\00:06:02.14
and all the things
that I like in my salads.
00:06:02.17\00:06:05.49
Paul and I had
lunch there today,
00:06:05.52\00:06:09.35
we were looking for you, you'd
already gone through the line.
00:06:09.38\00:06:13.21
We are doing interviews. Twice.
00:06:13.24\00:06:14.63
Oh, twice? Yeah.
00:06:14.66\00:06:16.13
And we had a great
lunch with mash potatoes
00:06:16.16\00:06:19.23
and some wannabe
and meatloaf and...
00:06:19.26\00:06:22.04
It was--
00:06:22.07\00:06:23.11
Salad was great.
Yes, it was awesome.
00:06:23.14\00:06:25.43
Yeah. And guacamole.
00:06:25.46\00:06:27.02
And guacamole.
00:06:27.05\00:06:28.08
There's always a big
pile or a big bowl of avocado.
00:06:28.11\00:06:33.74
Yes, yes. So how did
you do on your weight?
00:06:33.77\00:06:38.12
I lost 17 pounds the first
time I was here, it was amazing.
00:06:38.15\00:06:43.32
In 11 days, you lost 17 pounds?
00:06:43.35\00:06:45.89
Yes, because I was--
I fasted for four days.
00:06:45.92\00:06:49.52
Oh, good.
00:06:49.55\00:06:50.58
And that helped me a lot.
00:06:50.61\00:06:54.60
But this time I came
back, I have gained a pound.
00:06:54.63\00:06:58.96
So it's because
I'm still on insulin.
00:06:58.99\00:07:02.20
And that is
where my challenge is.
00:07:02.23\00:07:04.23
Yes.
00:07:04.26\00:07:05.30
It's hard to lose
weight, when you're on insulin.
00:07:05.33\00:07:07.27
Yeah, it is difficult,
00:07:07.30\00:07:08.38
but you're gonna do
it, there's no doubt.
00:07:08.41\00:07:10.25
Yes.
00:07:10.28\00:07:11.31
And you know as you walk
more and more and more and more
00:07:11.34\00:07:13.11
and you lower that
insulin, all of a sudden, wham,
00:07:13.14\00:07:17.00
you're just gonna drop
it by-- a lot of weight.
00:07:17.03\00:07:20.99
Yes. So how much
you want to loose?
00:07:21.02\00:07:23.43
Probably a 100. A 100 pounds?
00:07:23.46\00:07:26.02
Yes, and I think I can
do it, I hope I can do it.
00:07:26.05\00:07:28.47
I know you can do it.
00:07:28.50\00:07:30.53
Well, I think other people have
done it, I know I can do it.
00:07:30.56\00:07:33.74
I did it. Oh, did you? That's--
00:07:33.77\00:07:35.75
Not quite a 100. I'm impressed.
00:07:35.78\00:07:37.35
Ninety pounds.
00:07:37.38\00:07:38.42
That's-- that's great.
00:07:38.45\00:07:39.79
Yeah. It's just great.
00:07:39.82\00:07:40.85
Yeah. So now
would you do us a favor?
00:07:40.88\00:07:46.97
Would you be willing to
come back on the program,
00:07:47.00\00:07:49.47
say in six months?
00:07:49.50\00:07:51.57
Yes, I would.
00:07:51.60\00:07:52.65
And give your testimony... Yes.
00:07:52.68\00:07:54.87
All over again,
because I want to hear again,
00:07:54.90\00:07:58.32
how you've gotten
off all your medications,
00:07:58.35\00:08:00.98
how you've lost
the 70, 80 pounds
00:08:01.01\00:08:04.03
and how you're lean 'n' mean?
00:08:04.06\00:08:06.43
All right.
00:08:06.46\00:08:07.49
Or may be not so mean, but--
I just want to be fit, not fat.
00:08:07.52\00:08:10.11
Fit, yes. So what did
you like most about program?
00:08:10.14\00:08:16.04
Aside from me.
00:08:16.07\00:08:17.68
I thought, the beds
were-- my bed was wonderful.
00:08:17.71\00:08:21.38
Really? Yes, and--
00:08:21.41\00:08:22.74
We had an
interview later, earlier.
00:08:22.77\00:08:25.09
She said the bed
was terrible. Oh, no.
00:08:25.12\00:08:27.30
But we're not
gonna tell anybody that.
00:08:27.33\00:08:28.81
Oh, all right. And--
00:08:28.84\00:08:32.38
The bed was
wonderful. That's good to hear.
00:08:32.41\00:08:33.89
Yes, you know what, the
best part of coming here
00:08:33.92\00:08:36.27
was sharing with all the people
00:08:36.30\00:08:39.56
that have something
else going on in their life
00:08:39.59\00:08:42.80
and they've all stop to
do something for themselves.
00:08:42.83\00:08:46.78
That is impressive to me.
00:08:46.81\00:08:48.97
And comforting,
isn't it? Yes, it is.
00:08:49.00\00:08:50.95
And the camaraderie, the
friendships, the sharing...
00:08:50.98\00:08:57.96
I liked the
cooking school a lot.
00:08:57.99\00:09:00.96
Oh, my favorite thing
about Newstart is April.
00:09:00.99\00:09:05.72
April? Yes.
00:09:05.75\00:09:07.11
She is amazing. She is
a good massage therapist.
00:09:07.14\00:09:11.43
Yes, she is and
she is my best friend.
00:09:11.46\00:09:13.93
Is she?
00:09:13.96\00:09:14.99
Yes, she is, I've
told her many times.
00:09:15.02\00:09:18.20
We have even--
00:09:18.23\00:09:19.45
I had three massages
this week, I believe.
00:09:19.48\00:09:21.65
Three? Yes.
00:09:21.68\00:09:23.09
And this is only Wednesday.
00:09:23.12\00:09:24.59
I know.
00:09:24.62\00:09:25.71
Wow.
00:09:25.74\00:09:27.19
Well, I missed one.
00:09:27.22\00:09:28.34
Oh, okay.
00:09:28.37\00:09:29.42
On a day or two ago and
then they doubled up on me.
00:09:29.45\00:09:32.76
I was about to say you
have connections there.
00:09:32.79\00:09:35.41
I do. Yes, she's
awesome. She is good.
00:09:35.44\00:09:38.49
And the nursing
station is awesome.
00:09:38.52\00:09:41.37
There's someone
on duty all the time
00:09:41.40\00:09:43.15
to help you if you need it.
00:09:43.18\00:09:44.91
I had to get a prescription
refilled for my blood pressure
00:09:44.94\00:09:49.28
and someone picked it
up and brought it to me.
00:09:49.31\00:09:52.87
I did have to pay for it,
but I didn't have to go get it.
00:09:52.90\00:09:56.65
Which was very
kind of them. Did you--
00:09:56.68\00:09:58.94
And I'm also, when I had
to go to my doctors office
00:09:58.97\00:10:04.48
or to the pharmacy to get
00:10:04.51\00:10:07.18
a prescription for fresh insulin
00:10:07.21\00:10:10.82
because I didn't realize
that mine was getting old,
00:10:10.85\00:10:15.52
they saved me lunch,
00:10:15.55\00:10:18.01
somebody thought
ahead and saved me lunch.
00:10:18.04\00:10:20.24
So that when I got
back that I would have--
00:10:20.27\00:10:22.98
I wouldn't have missed
lunch in the cafeteria.
00:10:23.01\00:10:25.36
You got all the bases covered.
00:10:25.39\00:10:26.73
Yes, covered everything,
the food, the filtered water,
00:10:26.76\00:10:30.57
everything, it's wonderful.
00:10:30.60\00:10:32.71
What do you think
about being at a place
00:10:32.74\00:10:36.12
where the nurses
are right down the hall,
00:10:36.15\00:10:38.77
the doctors are
right across campus
00:10:38.80\00:10:41.49
and you have all
these people to help you
00:10:41.52\00:10:45.44
if you have an episode?
00:10:45.47\00:10:46.85
That's right, and not only that
00:10:46.88\00:10:48.60
but the doctors eat
with us in the cafeteria.
00:10:48.63\00:10:52.13
And they answer
questions, unfortunately,
00:10:52.16\00:10:54.54
because once you
get the ear of a doctor
00:10:54.57\00:10:57.63
you're not gonna let go of him.
00:10:57.66\00:10:58.94
Well, no. not at all.
Isn't that wonderful though?
00:10:58.97\00:11:01.26
Yes, it is, It's
wonderful and the doctors here
00:11:01.29\00:11:05.27
are so giving and
loving and spiritual
00:11:05.30\00:11:08.47
and I love the fact
that everyone prays with you,
00:11:08.50\00:11:11.71
whether it's the
massage therapist
00:11:11.74\00:11:13.58
or the exercise councilor,
00:11:13.61\00:11:17.75
everyone prays with you
00:11:17.78\00:11:19.33
before they
perform a service for you.
00:11:19.36\00:11:21.82
Amen.
00:11:21.85\00:11:22.88
It makes you feel
like you're constantly--
00:11:22.91\00:11:25.30
Yes. In the cocoon.
00:11:25.33\00:11:26.93
Yes. Maggie,
we've ran out of time.
00:11:26.96\00:11:29.95
Oh.
00:11:29.98\00:11:31.01
We'll do another
interview in about six months,
00:11:31.04\00:11:33.55
but I want to thank you.
00:11:33.58\00:11:35.16
You're welcome. And
bless you, my friend.
00:11:35.19\00:11:36.94
Thank you.
00:11:36.97\00:11:38.00
And I will be
doing some follow up,
00:11:38.03\00:11:39.11
I'll be calling
you on the phone.
00:11:39.14\00:11:40.69
Okay, would you tell me if
this is gonna be on television?
00:11:40.72\00:11:43.74
I'll tell you, absolutely.
00:11:43.77\00:11:44.96
Will you?
00:11:44.99\00:11:46.83
And friends don't go away,
00:11:46.86\00:11:49.37
we're gonna have a
doctor here in just a moment.
00:11:49.40\00:11:52.14
Welcome back, friends.
00:12:25.43\00:12:26.56
In our studio, Dr.
Lukens, you're here again.
00:12:26.59\00:12:31.09
It so good to see you.
00:12:31.12\00:12:32.30
This is another
really exciting situation.
00:12:32.33\00:12:35.67
I want to ask you,
point blank, the kidney thing.
00:12:35.70\00:12:40.91
What is up with this kidneys,
00:12:40.94\00:12:42.70
all of a sudden she
comes here and she's in--
00:12:42.73\00:12:47.24
what we call kidney
failure or about to have that.
00:12:47.27\00:12:50.98
No, her kidneys were struggling.
00:12:51.01\00:12:52.59
They were struggling.
That's a better way putting in.
00:12:52.62\00:12:54.79
Yeah.
00:12:54.82\00:12:55.99
What happened?
00:12:56.02\00:12:57.45
Well, we see this frequently,
sometimes the numbers go up,
00:12:57.48\00:13:03.55
fortunately her
numbers came down
00:13:03.58\00:13:05.47
because she is very,
very worried about it.
00:13:05.50\00:13:07.83
She's very concerned that
she's just not gonna do well
00:13:07.86\00:13:11.73
and now she's happy
00:13:11.76\00:13:13.09
because she saw-- at
least her kidney is now,
00:13:13.12\00:13:15.99
the numbers are normal.
00:13:16.02\00:13:17.73
What happens is
from two things--
00:13:17.76\00:13:20.03
and I've told
you this many times,
00:13:20.06\00:13:22.11
when a person goes on
this kind of a dietary,
00:13:22.14\00:13:24.93
it dilates the tiny
little blood vessels,
00:13:24.96\00:13:27.01
and they get 75%
more oxygenated blood.
00:13:27.04\00:13:30.65
Isn't that amazing?
00:13:30.68\00:13:31.71
In the heart,
which makes its stronger
00:13:31.74\00:13:33.84
to pump for the
kidneys, the kidneys get it,
00:13:33.87\00:13:36.41
the brain gets it,
and all these things
00:13:36.44\00:13:38.42
so we see these things happen
and I'll have to say it again,
00:13:38.45\00:13:42.64
we've had people come
in from Monday to Thursday
00:13:42.67\00:13:45.14
without a change
in their medications.
00:13:45.17\00:13:47.31
Three people have
lost 30 pounds of water
00:13:47.34\00:13:49.69
out of their
legs and their lungs,
00:13:49.72\00:13:52.44
from Monday to Thursday.
00:13:52.47\00:13:54.19
So we know that the
heart's really getting strong,
00:13:54.22\00:13:56.30
we see her-- her
kidneys were helped also,
00:13:56.33\00:14:00.87
because instead of
using the high protein
00:14:00.90\00:14:04.76
that you get from
meat, milk, eggs and fish,
00:14:04.79\00:14:07.45
she is getting a
lower protein diet.
00:14:07.48\00:14:09.50
Now this is
something that really makes
00:14:09.53\00:14:11.28
the dietitians and the doctors
and the people concerned,
00:14:11.31\00:14:14.93
because they say,
00:14:14.96\00:14:16.01
those plants can't
give you adequate protein.
00:14:16.04\00:14:19.40
And that's not right.
00:14:19.43\00:14:21.29
The proteins that you get
from the plant based foods
00:14:21.32\00:14:25.45
are giving you the
amino acid replacements
00:14:25.48\00:14:29.57
that you're using--
that you are going use,
00:14:29.60\00:14:31.77
that you can use it.
00:14:31.80\00:14:33.17
The proteins, especially
from the milk, meat and eggs,
00:14:33.20\00:14:38.40
those are giving you proteins
00:14:38.43\00:14:40.10
and it's
overloading the amino acids,
00:14:40.13\00:14:44.23
that you can't use,
00:14:44.26\00:14:45.47
so now it's
overloading the kidney,
00:14:45.50\00:14:47.37
so the kidney has
to chop all this up,
00:14:47.40\00:14:50.54
send the waste
products of nitrogen
00:14:50.57\00:14:52.56
down through the kidneys,
00:14:52.59\00:14:53.96
and so our
kidneys got two helps,
00:14:53.99\00:14:56.43
it got a stronger
help from our diet,
00:14:56.46\00:15:00.04
because of the circulation
00:15:00.07\00:15:01.74
and it got a better health
because the protein was lower
00:15:01.77\00:15:05.22
and it didn't
have the amino acids
00:15:05.25\00:15:06.76
that you can't use
00:15:06.79\00:15:08.35
and the kidneys
have to handle that,
00:15:08.38\00:15:10.20
that's kind of a
lot of stuff to say,
00:15:10.23\00:15:11.78
but-- but I think here--
00:15:11.81\00:15:13.44
Well, you said a mouthful.
Here's the problem as I see it.
00:15:13.47\00:15:18.31
Not being a doctor.
00:15:18.34\00:15:20.61
We have people come
here, including myself
00:15:20.64\00:15:23.62
and we have to be re-educated
about the food chain.
00:15:23.65\00:15:28.60
We were told to
eat more protein,
00:15:28.63\00:15:30.93
Dr. Atkins said more protein,
00:15:30.96\00:15:33.66
this guy and that guy,
00:15:33.69\00:15:34.72
everyone's talking about
protein, but animal protein--
00:15:34.75\00:15:38.28
You know the thing
that's worst about Atkins
00:15:38.31\00:15:40.69
is he said
protein, the first time,
00:15:40.72\00:15:42.36
the high protein diet,
00:15:42.39\00:15:43.94
the second time around
00:15:43.97\00:15:45.72
he said we had to
have the low carb diet.
00:15:45.75\00:15:49.01
And that's
thing that's the best,
00:15:49.04\00:15:51.91
a fuel food for your whole body,
00:15:51.94\00:15:54.47
your brain especially.
00:15:54.50\00:15:55.77
And he said not to use it. Yeah.
00:15:55.80\00:15:57.66
If he had said only use
the complex carbohydrates
00:15:57.69\00:16:01.47
in the whole plant foods,
00:16:01.50\00:16:03.09
he'd have done
the world a service.
00:16:03.12\00:16:04.94
I just got back from
Africa not too long ago.
00:16:04.97\00:16:08.32
Europe's doing it,
Australia's doing it,
00:16:08.35\00:16:11.22
South Africa,
00:16:11.25\00:16:12.28
everybody's on the low carb diet
00:16:12.31\00:16:14.65
and the opposite is--
00:16:14.68\00:16:16.32
I have to say
this really quickly,
00:16:16.35\00:16:18.33
but when you eat the
grains and the legumes,
00:16:18.36\00:16:20.95
that are the bean types,
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.87
when you eat that
you're getting 15% protein,
00:16:22.90\00:16:28.01
15% fat and 70%
complex carbohydrates.
00:16:28.04\00:16:32.99
Now if they had seen
what the beef is doing
00:16:33.02\00:16:36.15
when you eat the
beef, you get 30% protein,
00:16:36.18\00:16:42.84
but it's the ones
00:16:42.87\00:16:44.04
with the wrong
ratio of the amino acids.
00:16:44.07\00:16:46.59
And you know what
the-- what the rest of it is?
00:16:46.62\00:16:50.12
70% almost is fat and
a lot of that saturated.
00:16:50.15\00:16:55.85
And then there is a little
bit of starch in the muscles
00:16:55.88\00:16:58.29
so may be 2 or 3%.
00:16:58.32\00:17:00.64
So it is-- it's a horribly low,
00:17:00.67\00:17:04.19
carbohydrate diet
00:17:04.22\00:17:05.52
and there is no
complex carbohydrates in them.
00:17:05.55\00:17:07.91
Let me add a point,
00:17:07.94\00:17:09.87
many, many years ago, before
I came to the Newstart program,
00:17:09.90\00:17:15.16
I went on an Atkins diet,
00:17:15.19\00:17:17.42
I read the book,
I believed the book,
00:17:17.45\00:17:19.41
I start shoveling
as much protein, fat
00:17:19.44\00:17:23.03
and everything that I could
00:17:23.06\00:17:24.65
and when I stopped
the diet, I went in for--
00:17:24.68\00:17:29.13
you know, a family practitioner
to just get a physical,
00:17:29.16\00:17:34.06
a couple of days later,
I was with the cardiologist
00:17:34.09\00:17:38.90
and he wanted to
do open heart surgery,
00:17:38.93\00:17:41.27
right then and there, I was--
00:17:41.30\00:17:43.77
I already had a heart
attack and didn't know it,
00:17:43.80\00:17:46.75
one artery was closed, the
others were 85-95% blocked,
00:17:46.78\00:17:53.01
and I had to have a
five-way bypass. So--
00:17:53.04\00:17:57.33
Yeah, I know.
00:17:57.36\00:17:58.39
I know you know this,
00:17:58.42\00:17:59.54
but I wanted to say
this for the viewers.
00:17:59.57\00:18:03.33
The other thing is-- is
that the low carb thing--
00:18:03.36\00:18:06.39
you see, her son is
really trying to help her
00:18:06.42\00:18:10.11
because he wants
mom around, you know.
00:18:10.14\00:18:12.03
Sure.
00:18:12.06\00:18:13.09
Very pleasant
person to be around.
00:18:13.12\00:18:14.64
Yeah.
00:18:14.67\00:18:15.70
And the thing is, is that
00:18:15.73\00:18:17.91
with all the
information that's out there,
00:18:17.94\00:18:21.95
sometimes, you
know, we don't know
00:18:21.98\00:18:27.20
enough to coach in right way,
00:18:27.23\00:18:30.14
and the other thing was
that her eye doctor told her
00:18:30.17\00:18:35.54
that if her blood
sugar was over 250
00:18:35.57\00:18:38.64
that she would go blind,
00:18:38.67\00:18:40.25
I know that she didn't say that.
00:18:40.28\00:18:42.12
All right.
00:18:42.15\00:18:43.19
Because, you know, her blood--
00:18:43.22\00:18:45.90
many, many people's blood sugar
is over 250 for a lot of times
00:18:45.93\00:18:50.50
and they don't go blind.
00:18:50.53\00:18:51.65
But that-- diabetes
is the highest reason,
00:18:51.68\00:18:57.07
it's the most common reason for
blindness in the United States.
00:18:57.10\00:19:00.95
But the thing is, is
that as she continues on this,
00:19:00.98\00:19:05.56
using the insulin,
chasing the blood sugars,
00:19:05.59\00:19:08.71
trying to force them down,
00:19:08.74\00:19:11.34
as it's been
shown in the literature
00:19:11.37\00:19:13.05
that the micro
vascular disease in the eye
00:19:13.08\00:19:16.18
is not improved, why?
00:19:16.21\00:19:17.93
Because the diabetes
continues to get worse.
00:19:17.96\00:19:20.94
Now when we are able to
get her off of the insulin,
00:19:20.97\00:19:23.94
she's able to
get her weight down,
00:19:23.97\00:19:25.61
she's able to do the exercise,
00:19:25.64\00:19:27.52
she's not able to do
too much of that right now.
00:19:27.55\00:19:30.39
When she's able to
do all of that stuff,
00:19:30.42\00:19:33.07
her numbers are gonna be good,
00:19:33.10\00:19:34.99
she's not gonna be
having the medications
00:19:35.02\00:19:37.52
and her eyesight isn't
gonna be effected by that.
00:19:37.55\00:19:40.44
What she's done
considerably well,
00:19:40.47\00:19:43.85
especially after what
she is gone through...
00:19:43.88\00:19:46.28
Yeah, that surgery.
That was an amazing surgery.
00:19:46.31\00:19:48.40
Amazing surgery that she
seem to just pop right back.
00:19:48.43\00:19:51.92
Yeah, yeah, she
was thrilled with it,
00:19:51.95\00:19:54.07
it did with the da Vinci thing.
00:19:54.10\00:19:57.51
The da Vinci thing.
00:19:57.54\00:19:59.08
Yeah, it's a robotic surgery.
Yeah, you mentioned that.
00:19:59.11\00:20:01.33
Yeah, you know
that's-- that's really--
00:20:01.36\00:20:04.29
that's an incredible
thing that they're doing.
00:20:04.32\00:20:06.90
So, will she continue to
call on you for, as her doctor?
00:20:06.93\00:20:14.48
You know what,
she lives locally--
00:20:14.51\00:20:17.11
locally enough, so that you
can come here and she says well,
00:20:17.14\00:20:20.57
then should I not
go to my other doctor?
00:20:20.60\00:20:22.41
I said, no, she's with
Kiser and in the meantime
00:20:22.44\00:20:28.06
we're hopping to get
her on a better insulin,
00:20:28.09\00:20:29.93
the one that
she's on is really tough
00:20:29.96\00:20:32.18
to control your blood sugars.
00:20:32.21\00:20:33.98
But anyway, I said,
no, keep going to them
00:20:34.01\00:20:37.11
because you'll be a--
00:20:37.14\00:20:38.78
you'll be a good
testimony for what's happening,
00:20:38.81\00:20:41.61
you'll be a good example of
what other people can happen.
00:20:41.64\00:20:45.54
There is a
cardiologist in the area,
00:20:45.57\00:20:47.90
that if he knows
00:20:47.93\00:20:49.98
that a person is really
got severe heart problems
00:20:50.01\00:20:53.12
and he can't help them, with
the medications and so forth,
00:20:53.15\00:20:56.57
he sends them up to us,
00:20:56.60\00:20:57.99
if he knows their willing
to make a lifestyle change.
00:20:58.02\00:21:00.69
Yes. That's the biggest deal.
00:21:00.72\00:21:02.46
Yeah, it is and she is
willing to make that change.
00:21:02.49\00:21:05.10
She's
absolutely committed, yeah.
00:21:05.13\00:21:07.20
Yeah.
00:21:07.23\00:21:08.26
So she will come up here
and then we'll follow her
00:21:08.29\00:21:10.63
and then she can go
down there occasionally.
00:21:10.66\00:21:13.07
Now aside from the diabetes,
00:21:13.10\00:21:15.33
did you notice any
other appreciable change
00:21:15.36\00:21:19.36
with regards to her weight,
her blood pressure, whatever?
00:21:19.39\00:21:24.72
Well, she kept looking worried,
00:21:24.75\00:21:26.49
and she's still got long
way to go on when to eat,
00:21:26.52\00:21:29.44
what to eat and stuff like that,
00:21:29.47\00:21:31.18
she knows it but
she's trying to--
00:21:31.21\00:21:33.45
it's kind of like fasting enough
00:21:33.48\00:21:35.37
to get her blood sugar
in the right area, you know,
00:21:35.40\00:21:37.17
and you can't do that
always, 'cause sometimes...
00:21:37.20\00:21:40.84
But yeah, after she saw, what
had happened to her kidneys.
00:21:40.87\00:21:46.63
I think-- I think that--
00:21:46.66\00:21:48.38
She's a believer. That's--
00:21:48.41\00:21:52.00
that was the glow factor.
00:21:52.03\00:21:54.13
Yeah.
00:21:54.16\00:21:55.73
Well, doc, it's always a
pleasure to talk with you.
00:21:55.76\00:21:58.64
Well, I just hope people
will understand what's going on.
00:21:58.67\00:22:01.49
I do hope they understand
00:22:01.52\00:22:03.08
and we have such an
important message to get out.
00:22:03.11\00:22:06.42
God bless you, my friend.
00:22:06.45\00:22:07.94
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
00:22:07.97\00:22:09.42
And thank you for
being faithful on yours.
00:22:09.45\00:22:11.75
Amen.
00:22:11.78\00:22:12.94
Friends, don't go
away, we have a tip for you,
00:22:12.97\00:22:15.50
immediately following this.
00:22:15.53\00:22:19.06
Caffeine is the
world's most popular drug.
00:22:19.09\00:22:22.00
You can find a Starbucks
on almost every corner.
00:22:22.03\00:22:25.83
Recent statistics show
00:22:25.86\00:22:27.21
that 83% of American
adults consume coffee,
00:22:27.24\00:22:30.23
three cups a day on average.
00:22:30.26\00:22:32.45
But what exactly is caffeine
00:22:32.48\00:22:34.29
and how does it affect our body?
00:22:34.32\00:22:37.52
Caffeine is known
as an energy booster,
00:22:37.55\00:22:39.87
many people claim
that they need coffee
00:22:39.90\00:22:41.32
to improve their focus,
stamina and productivity.
00:22:41.35\00:22:44.32
And several studies
seem to support these claims.
00:22:44.35\00:22:47.22
There is just one problem,
00:22:47.25\00:22:48.77
many studies have
used faulty methods,
00:22:48.80\00:22:50.77
failing to account
for the caffeine habits
00:22:50.80\00:22:52.90
of their participants.
00:22:52.93\00:22:54.57
One study performed by
John Hopkins Medical School,
00:22:54.60\00:22:57.20
reveals that the
performance boost of caffeine
00:22:57.23\00:22:59.84
only occurs in people,
00:22:59.87\00:23:01.05
who are already experiencing
withdrawals from it.
00:23:01.08\00:23:04.22
This is not a result of caffeine
00:23:04.25\00:23:05.81
truly increasing performance,
00:23:05.84\00:23:07.65
but rather a short term reversal
00:23:07.68\00:23:09.60
of caffeine withdrawal.
00:23:09.63\00:23:11.56
When
researchers use participants
00:23:11.59\00:23:13.46
who are not
experiencing withdrawl,
00:23:13.49\00:23:15.74
caffeine did not
improve performance.
00:23:15.77\00:23:18.47
And one of the
things we find with caffeine
00:23:18.50\00:23:21.09
is that even though people seem
to be able to do things faster
00:23:21.12\00:23:25.73
and for longer period of time,
00:23:25.76\00:23:28.00
it's not uncommon if
they make more mistakes,
00:23:28.03\00:23:30.75
they've even had
notes about the sports teams
00:23:30.78\00:23:34.09
and so they want
them to have more energy,
00:23:34.12\00:23:36.70
they give them--
so they have them
00:23:36.74\00:23:38.76
takes sports strengths or
beverages containing caffeine
00:23:38.79\00:23:42.12
and they do have more energy
00:23:42.15\00:23:43.46
but they make more
mistakes and errors.
00:23:43.49\00:23:45.47
This is also been
shown like when people type,
00:23:45.50\00:23:48.24
they can type faster
but they make more mistakes.
00:23:48.27\00:23:51.03
So all in all,
00:23:51.06\00:23:52.09
you're going to be much
better off not using caffeine.
00:23:52.12\00:23:56.15
A caffeine is a stimulant,
00:23:56.18\00:23:57.58
the chemical name
is trimethylxanthine,
00:23:57.61\00:24:00.43
it speeds up the heart rate,
increases the blood pressure,
00:24:00.46\00:24:03.72
because it causes
vessel constriction
00:24:03.75\00:24:05.78
which is making the
blood vessels smaller
00:24:05.81\00:24:09.28
and it's very interesting,
00:24:09.31\00:24:10.73
many patients
who I've worked with
00:24:10.76\00:24:13.09
who have high blood pressure,
00:24:13.12\00:24:14.73
and I ask them to
use coffee or tea,
00:24:14.76\00:24:16.77
which of course the
tradition coffee, tea,
00:24:16.81\00:24:19.29
both contain caffeine,
00:24:19.32\00:24:20.61
and they say, yes.
00:24:20.64\00:24:21.99
I said, hasn't anyone told
you that it would be helpful
00:24:22.02\00:24:25.49
for you to control
your blood pressure
00:24:25.52\00:24:27.12
to stop the caffeine,
00:24:27.15\00:24:28.69
so this is another
common effect of caffeine.
00:24:28.72\00:24:32.84
It raises the blood pressure,
00:24:32.88\00:24:34.33
as well as-- as we mention
00:24:34.36\00:24:36.16
increase in the
gastric situations.
00:24:36.19\00:24:38.18
So people have
trouble with ulcers,
00:24:38.21\00:24:41.10
gastro esophageal
reflux disease or GERD,
00:24:41.13\00:24:44.00
again they're
gonna be better off
00:24:44.03\00:24:45.33
to avoid beverages
containing caffeine.
00:24:45.36\00:24:48.69
High caffeine consumption
00:24:48.72\00:24:50.19
is associated with
many negative symptoms
00:24:50.22\00:24:52.63
including
irritability, insomnia, anxiety,
00:24:52.66\00:24:56.55
stress on the heart,
elevated blood pressure,
00:24:56.58\00:24:59.71
headaches, heart burn,
upset stomach and dehydration.
00:24:59.74\00:25:04.85
Many people use
caffeine to stay awake,
00:25:04.88\00:25:07.34
this may work
temporarily but in the long run
00:25:07.37\00:25:09.97
caffeine causes
serious sleep disturbances.
00:25:10.00\00:25:13.30
It makes it more difficult
to fall and stay a sleep
00:25:13.33\00:25:15.71
and disturbs the important
REM phase of the sleep cycle.
00:25:15.74\00:25:19.65
Caffeine users often
fall into a vicious cycle,
00:25:19.68\00:25:22.31
the same caffeine they depend
on to wake up in the morning,
00:25:22.34\00:25:25.54
keeps them from
getting quality sleep at night.
00:25:25.57\00:25:28.45
One of the things we
look at with caffeine
00:25:28.48\00:25:29.91
is what we called the
half life of caffeine,
00:25:29.94\00:25:32.29
and the half life of caffeine
00:25:32.32\00:25:34.05
is between four and five hours,
00:25:34.08\00:25:36.25
now as you take
a dose of caffeine
00:25:36.28\00:25:38.40
in the morning
say, at 8 o'clock,
00:25:38.43\00:25:41.18
you know to wake up
and-- and four hours,
00:25:41.21\00:25:45.72
half of that will be
gone, in another four hours,
00:25:45.75\00:25:48.17
half of what's
left will be gone.
00:25:48.20\00:25:49.89
So even though
people may only take
00:25:49.92\00:25:52.81
one or two cups of
coffee in the morning,
00:25:52.84\00:25:54.92
the effects of that
last through out the day.
00:25:54.95\00:25:56.96
And the people
have trouble with sleep,
00:25:56.99\00:25:59.37
they definitely should avoid
beverages containing caffeine.
00:25:59.40\00:26:02.60
If you're using coffee
to wake to wake you up,
00:26:02.63\00:26:04.83
an alternative to
coffee would be exercise,
00:26:04.86\00:26:07.97
that would be really good.
00:26:08.00\00:26:09.44
Also, a good brisk
shower finishing off with cold
00:26:09.47\00:26:13.59
would help you to wake you up.
00:26:13.62\00:26:15.03
Caffeine is especially
dangerous for children,
00:26:15.06\00:26:17.55
infants and pregnant mothers.
00:26:17.58\00:26:19.79
It has been liked
to low birth weight
00:26:19.82\00:26:21.50
as well as a variety of
health and behavioral problems.
00:26:21.53\00:26:25.18
I would not encourage
children to use caffeine,
00:26:25.21\00:26:27.75
again it's a stimulant
00:26:27.78\00:26:29.40
and I remember when I was
working in the Marshal Islands,
00:26:29.43\00:26:31.82
I would see
these little children
00:26:31.85\00:26:34.05
probably, one to
two years of age,
00:26:34.08\00:26:37.16
they would be running around
00:26:37.19\00:26:38.82
and they would a can
of caffeinated soda pop
00:26:38.85\00:26:41.68
in their hand and they
would be drinking that.
00:26:41.71\00:26:44.14
And sometimes,
later on in the evening,
00:26:44.17\00:26:47.76
when I would have to
go back to the hospital
00:26:47.79\00:26:49.96
late at night to see a patient,
00:26:49.99\00:26:53.20
I was see these little
kids running around, wide awake,
00:26:53.23\00:26:56.63
they were wired
from the caffeine
00:26:56.66\00:26:57.97
which they had
earlier in the day.
00:26:58.00\00:26:59.51
So if you want
your children to be nice
00:26:59.54\00:27:02.66
and cooperative and raise them,
00:27:02.69\00:27:04.89
so that they will be obedient
and loving and responsive,
00:27:04.92\00:27:09.05
you really want to keep
them away from caffeine.
00:27:09.08\00:27:12.08
So be safe,
treat your body right
00:27:12.11\00:27:14.59
and fill yourself with plenty
of good, old fashioned water.
00:27:14.62\00:27:18.61
Which naturally increases
brain function and energy.
00:27:18.64\00:27:22.49
Your body, mood and
pocket book, will thank you.
00:27:22.52\00:27:28.72
Well, friends,
