Every year in America,
there are over 1 million deaths
00:00:12.46\00:00:15.05
because of type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:15.08\00:00:17.98
This includes
heart attacks and strokes
00:00:18.01\00:00:20.45
that's six and half
747s crashing everyday.
00:00:20.48\00:00:24.09
What's even most surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:24.12\00:00:27.39
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.42\00:00:28.83
Wouldn't it be nice
00:00:28.86\00:00:29.89
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:00:29.92\00:00:32.27
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:32.30\00:00:34.95
Obesity and diabetes
00:00:34.98\00:00:36.44
are the cause of over
million deaths per year.
00:00:36.47\00:00:39.21
Most diseases are reversible,
00:00:39.24\00:00:41.42
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.45\00:00:44.23
especially type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.26\00:00:47.80
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:47.83\00:00:50.04
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:07.40\00:01:10.53
Hi, friends, and welcome
00:01:14.62\00:01:15.92
to another
edition of Newstart Now.
00:01:15.95\00:01:18.23
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:18.26\00:01:20.60
In our studio with
me I have a gentleman
00:01:20.63\00:01:23.43
from Admin
Washington, Andy Seaver.
00:01:23.46\00:01:28.14
Now, Andy we have an
interesting story here.
00:01:28.17\00:01:31.77
Let's take a look at
when Andrew first arrived.
00:01:31.80\00:01:37.06
And round about
three and half weeks ago,
00:01:37.09\00:01:40.03
I was in an ICU
00:01:40.06\00:01:42.19
for the third time
in less than a year,
00:01:42.22\00:01:47.15
and I felt like
as a wake up call
00:01:47.18\00:01:51.47
that something
needed to be changed
00:01:51.50\00:01:55.71
or I was not going to be
around the year from now.
00:01:55.74\00:01:59.48
And sent me home
with two medications
00:01:59.51\00:02:01.66
that I've
previously had not taken
00:02:01.69\00:02:04.48
and doubled up on one that I had
00:02:04.51\00:02:07.60
and taking for years.
00:02:07.63\00:02:10.55
And I said at
that point, you know,
00:02:10.58\00:02:14.53
I'm ready, let's go.
00:02:14.56\00:02:19.27
My impression had
gone from zero to about man
00:02:19.30\00:02:25.35
over last three years.
00:02:25.38\00:02:30.86
I'd increase the amount of time
00:02:30.89\00:02:32.69
I was sleeping and
decrease the amount of time
00:02:32.72\00:02:35.47
that I was with my
wife and with my friends,
00:02:35.50\00:02:39.82
so wasn't much afraid of me.
00:02:39.85\00:02:42.26
And...
00:02:42.29\00:02:44.80
so I know that I
was going downhill.
00:02:44.83\00:02:50.66
Taking life from
here the ability to...
00:02:50.69\00:02:53.57
you know, to
understand and be reinforced.
00:02:55.99\00:03:01.34
I just cherish that.
00:03:04.53\00:03:06.22
It's really good.
00:03:08.82\00:03:11.48
Welcome back,
friends, here in the studio.
00:03:11.51\00:03:14.07
Andy, how are you? Good.
00:03:14.10\00:03:15.76
I'm glad you can make it today
00:03:15.79\00:03:17.17
and I'm excited
to hear your story.
00:03:17.20\00:03:20.73
We saw when you first
arrived, you had an episode.
00:03:20.76\00:03:25.04
I had one, so
we're like brothers here.
00:03:25.07\00:03:29.37
Tell us what has happened now
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.57
that you are here,
have you seen any hope?
00:03:31.60\00:03:36.00
Thank you very much
for asking that question.
00:03:36.03\00:03:39.41
In the two weeks I've been here,
00:03:39.44\00:03:42.47
my blood pressure has
come down by 20 points.
00:03:42.50\00:03:46.24
I've lost 16 pounds.
Oh, well, that's good.
00:03:46.27\00:03:49.77
I had no exercise
program going when I came here.
00:03:49.80\00:03:54.78
So far I've walked 105 miles.
00:03:54.81\00:03:58.62
Well, you've counted
each mile. I never did that.
00:03:58.65\00:04:01.51
And my best day
was 12 miles walking.
00:04:01.54\00:04:05.59
Good for you.
00:04:05.62\00:04:07.41
I was taking 21 pills
a day, now taking none.
00:04:07.44\00:04:11.14
You are all from-- zero pill,
00:04:11.17\00:04:12.81
you're having
zero pill. Zero pill.
00:04:12.84\00:04:14.93
You were taking 21. 21 pills.
00:04:14.96\00:04:17.25
And I will bet you
that you were taking
00:04:17.28\00:04:19.27
some of them
more than once a day.
00:04:19.30\00:04:21.21
Yes, sir, including those pills
00:04:21.24\00:04:25.16
were two for
diabetes, two for hypertension.
00:04:25.19\00:04:30.06
And additionally I was on
an insulin pump when I came.
00:04:30.09\00:04:33.69
Wow.
00:04:33.72\00:04:34.97
The first evening,
00:04:35.00\00:04:37.95
the physician after
interviewing me said,
00:04:37.98\00:04:41.20
I want you to cut
your insulin level,
00:04:41.23\00:04:43.88
your base rate, in other words
00:04:43.91\00:04:46.08
an hourly rated
pump puts out in half.
00:04:46.11\00:04:49.47
And I want you to
stop your oral insulin.
00:04:49.50\00:04:53.06
Now who is your
doctor? Dr. Lukens.
00:04:53.09\00:04:54.72
Dr. Lukens. I know it.
00:04:54.75\00:04:56.14
Yes.
00:04:56.17\00:04:57.72
He cut your insulin
in half in first day.
00:04:57.75\00:05:00.69
The first day.
00:05:00.72\00:05:03.13
The morning of the third
day after the stress test,
00:05:03.16\00:05:08.23
he said turn the
insulin pump off.
00:05:08.26\00:05:11.62
Now, let me
stop you right there.
00:05:11.65\00:05:13.53
Were you little nervous?
00:05:13.56\00:05:16.07
When someone's telling
to cut off your lifeline.
00:05:16.10\00:05:19.59
I had never heard
about reversing diabetes.
00:05:19.62\00:05:23.99
I was awestruck,
I was dumbfounded,
00:05:24.02\00:05:29.81
but I'm a registered nurse
00:05:29.84\00:05:32.08
and have been for
40 some odd years.
00:05:32.11\00:05:35.22
And I said we're on campus,
00:05:35.25\00:05:38.15
we have a doctor
within three minutes.
00:05:38.18\00:05:40.72
Yeah. 24 hours a day.
00:05:40.75\00:05:42.35
More than one doctor--
00:05:42.38\00:05:43.41
Right and we have nurses on duty
00:05:43.44\00:05:46.13
from 6 in the
morning till 10 at night
00:05:46.16\00:05:48.98
and our call as well.
00:05:49.01\00:05:50.49
Let me stop you just a minute.
00:05:50.52\00:05:52.03
You nurses out
there pay attention,
00:05:52.06\00:05:54.21
I've met a lot of nurses
00:05:54.24\00:05:55.79
and you're all God
bless you for the work you do.
00:05:55.82\00:05:58.54
However here's the
nurse 40 years he said,
00:05:58.57\00:06:02.12
had never heard of
reversing diabetes.
00:06:02.15\00:06:05.42
And we reverse a
lot of other diseases
00:06:05.45\00:06:08.04
because we know
that most diseases
00:06:08.07\00:06:11.42
are lifestyle diseases.
00:06:11.45\00:06:14.10
Continue please.
00:06:14.13\00:06:15.26
Okay, anyway I took it on faith
00:06:15.29\00:06:20.83
and I've had no
insulin since I've been here.
00:06:20.86\00:06:24.98
And what's your
blood sugar in the morning?
00:06:25.01\00:06:27.16
It's still up, it's
still-- between 148/220 fasting.
00:06:27.19\00:06:34.56
Now that means
I've had nothing to eat
00:06:34.59\00:06:37.32
during the night time hours.
00:06:37.35\00:06:39.03
Exactly.
00:06:39.06\00:06:41.28
However there's a cell portion,
00:06:41.31\00:06:46.34
the power plant of the
cell for non scientific crowds,
00:06:46.37\00:06:50.39
it's the power plant,
it's called mitochondria.
00:06:50.42\00:06:53.12
And Dr. Lukens
explained that I've been packing
00:06:53.15\00:06:57.34
that full of sugar for so long
00:06:57.37\00:07:00.62
that it needs 6 to 12 weeks
for that to rejuvenate itself.
00:07:00.65\00:07:06.87
And God bless, it's only
10 more weeks, of course.
00:07:06.90\00:07:13.83
So I'm very, very happy.
00:07:13.86\00:07:16.86
I've dropped two
waist sizes in my pants.
00:07:16.89\00:07:20.81
You're wearing the
same pants you've brought.
00:07:20.84\00:07:22.81
Yes, sir...
00:07:22.84\00:07:23.87
I think that
pretty much covers it.
00:07:29.38\00:07:31.88
I guess I would
have to say though
00:07:31.91\00:07:33.91
that my faith has
increased multifold.
00:07:33.94\00:07:39.94
Now why would
your faith increased
00:07:39.97\00:07:44.54
just for coming to
a lifestyle program?
00:07:44.57\00:07:48.35
There is no
outer person on campus,
00:07:48.38\00:07:50.53
staff, visitor,
family of workers.
00:07:50.56\00:07:57.47
There are some positives,
he doesn't reach on the trail
00:07:57.50\00:08:00.95
and say hi, he
doesn't wave at you,
00:08:00.98\00:08:03.98
if they're riding in the car.
00:08:04.01\00:08:06.63
There's not a person who
doesn't sit down with you
00:08:06.66\00:08:10.63
before a
treatment and pray with you.
00:08:10.66\00:08:13.02
Dr. Lukens did
from the very start.
00:08:13.05\00:08:17.37
Dr. Hellman did
as the nutritionist.
00:08:17.40\00:08:23.59
Of course the chaplain would,
and that was just amazing.
00:08:23.62\00:08:27.77
And the massage therapist?
The massage therapist Elias.
00:08:27.80\00:08:31.70
We don't want to miss
anybody. Oh, my goodness.
00:08:31.73\00:08:36.96
You know, it was amazing
00:08:36.99\00:08:41.19
to get here and see that happen.
00:08:41.22\00:08:44.31
It's been amazing
to see the nurses.
00:08:44.34\00:08:47.47
I had headaches the first
day, my migraines were terrible
00:08:47.50\00:08:53.45
and the nurses came
in to do the foot baths.
00:08:53.48\00:08:58.67
Your feet in warm water,
00:08:58.70\00:09:00.16
your head in ice water
or an ice rag in prayer,
00:09:00.19\00:09:07.52
that doesn't happen
in most hospital settings
00:09:07.55\00:09:10.65
that I have worked in.
00:09:10.68\00:09:11.74
Yeah.
00:09:11.77\00:09:14.01
I... you know, it's kind of--
00:09:14.04\00:09:18.13
as I mentioned in
the beginning interview
00:09:18.16\00:09:22.37
just to get
here was the miracle.
00:09:22.40\00:09:25.60
I was at my wit's end.
00:09:25.63\00:09:27.73
I had come to the end
of my road and said, okay,
00:09:27.76\00:09:35.25
if you can get us
in, I'll go to my wife.
00:09:35.28\00:09:38.81
Yeah.
00:09:38.84\00:09:40.51
Andy, let me ask
you a question now.
00:09:40.54\00:09:43.39
Did the Newstart
program meet your expectations?
00:09:43.42\00:09:47.81
Far exceeding my expectations.
My wife was here 10 years ago.
00:09:47.84\00:09:52.99
Yes.
00:09:53.02\00:09:54.08
And the questions I ask of
her, her memory failed her.
00:09:54.11\00:09:57.92
So I came as the
new babe in the woods
00:09:57.95\00:10:00.91
just like most
people who arrive here
00:10:00.94\00:10:03.24
not knowing anything
about what was going to occur?
00:10:03.27\00:10:07.21
What I need to do to wear?
00:10:07.24\00:10:12.17
What's the food
was gonna be like
00:10:12.20\00:10:15.01
and it's just been
beyond my wildest expectations.
00:10:15.04\00:10:21.94
I enjoyed
everything that has come to me.
00:10:21.97\00:10:27.40
I was on a three day
fast at the beginning
00:10:27.43\00:10:31.67
and they kept promising,
they, the staff kept promising
00:10:31.70\00:10:35.23
that my taste buds
were going to change.
00:10:35.26\00:10:39.86
I kind of-- Yeah.
00:10:39.89\00:10:42.16
As the peasant see to that
00:10:42.19\00:10:44.94
and ironically my first
meal after coming off the fast
00:10:44.97\00:10:50.61
were the three foods
in all of God's creation
00:10:50.64\00:10:56.50
that I dislike the most
00:10:56.53\00:11:01.37
and yet they tasted wonderful.
00:11:01.40\00:11:04.55
Yeah.
00:11:04.58\00:11:05.62
And my taste buds have changed.
00:11:05.65\00:11:09.73
They've taken on a
whole different way
00:11:09.76\00:11:13.17
of feeding my brain.
00:11:13.20\00:11:16.74
Would you recommend
the Newstart program?
00:11:16.77\00:11:19.74
To everyone. Amen.
00:11:19.77\00:11:23.94
So I came here
with some expectations
00:11:23.97\00:11:29.36
but not anywhere close to
what God has granted to me.
00:11:29.39\00:11:36.86
Amen.
00:11:36.89\00:11:39.10
Andy, I want to thank you
00:11:39.13\00:11:40.37
for taking the
time to be with us
00:11:40.40\00:11:43.29
and sharing your story
00:11:43.32\00:11:45.50
to hopefully millions
of people who are watching.
00:11:45.53\00:11:49.14
And, you know, I'll
be following up with you
00:11:49.17\00:11:52.21
in the near future.
00:11:52.24\00:11:54.31
That's one of my
jobs here. So I've heard.
00:11:54.34\00:11:57.07
I'm looking forward to that.
00:11:57.10\00:11:58.23
So, God bless you brother
and again thank you so much.
00:11:58.26\00:12:00.44
Thank you.
Friends, don't go away.
00:12:00.47\00:12:02.63
After this
little bit information,
00:12:02.66\00:12:04.60
Dr. Lukens is gonna be with us.
00:12:04.63\00:12:07.03
Welcome back friends
in our studio, Dr. Lukens.
00:12:40.96\00:12:44.11
Yes. Good to see you here.
00:12:44.14\00:12:45.35
I'm so excited
about this patient.
00:12:45.38\00:12:47.31
I'm really excited about it too.
00:12:47.34\00:12:49.34
And you know what
I'm most excited about
00:12:49.37\00:12:51.16
is that you follow up
with these patients now
00:12:51.19\00:12:53.46
and that is huge.
00:12:53.49\00:12:56.18
Yes, it is. Yeah.
00:12:56.21\00:12:57.75
And I enjoy that work so much,
00:12:57.78\00:13:01.34
because people, you know,
they stay here for 18 days.
00:13:01.37\00:13:05.22
They learn about
this new lifestyle,
00:13:05.25\00:13:07.81
then they go home
and they forget this
00:13:07.84\00:13:10.39
or they forget that.
00:13:10.42\00:13:11.73
So I'm there every
month calling them,
00:13:11.76\00:13:13.87
the ones that want me to call
00:13:13.90\00:13:15.94
and helping them
with their new lifestyles.
00:13:15.97\00:13:18.13
That's a wonderful thing.
00:13:18.16\00:13:19.20
And thank you 'cause it
was your idea to do that.
00:13:19.23\00:13:21.90
Yeah, it's been everybody's idea
00:13:21.93\00:13:23.77
but you are doing it.
00:13:23.80\00:13:24.83
So that's the wonderful thing.
00:13:24.86\00:13:25.97
So let's talk about Andy,
00:13:26.00\00:13:27.03
he's had some remarkable change.
00:13:27.06\00:13:28.11
Okay, Andy.
00:13:28.14\00:13:29.17
When they come in
on that first night,
00:13:29.20\00:13:32.05
we have realized
that if they continue on
00:13:32.08\00:13:36.13
even just eating one, two
meals or something like that.
00:13:36.16\00:13:39.07
If we see them in
the afternoon on Monday,
00:13:39.10\00:13:41.51
they might have already
had an insulin reaction.
00:13:41.54\00:13:44.10
That's how fast it works. Yes.
00:13:44.13\00:13:47.42
And so he asked me
probably three times
00:13:47.45\00:13:50.97
and I didn't
realize he was embarrassed,
00:13:51.00\00:13:52.40
you know, we don't
know everything about it
00:13:52.43\00:13:53.53
when we're first seeing them.
00:13:53.56\00:13:54.85
What we do know
when they have that
00:13:54.88\00:13:57.49
and I had seen
somebody else previously
00:13:57.52\00:14:00.48
that was constantly
having insulin reaction.
00:14:00.51\00:14:03.06
So I said look just
cut whatever you are doing,
00:14:03.09\00:14:05.72
just cut in half because I know
00:14:05.75\00:14:07.89
that a high blood sugar
over a short period of time
00:14:07.92\00:14:11.06
isn't going to
be a real problem.
00:14:11.09\00:14:12.79
So he kept asking me
and so you want me to just--
00:14:12.82\00:14:15.79
Yeah, and I
said until I see you,
00:14:15.82\00:14:17.44
just cut in half.
00:14:17.47\00:14:18.64
Cut in half.
00:14:18.67\00:14:19.77
And so then right after
that he went on the fast
00:14:19.80\00:14:23.32
and that we do a three day fast,
00:14:23.35\00:14:25.82
I mean if a person is
fasting, no sugar is coming in
00:14:25.85\00:14:29.98
and they are on a
full replacement dose.
00:14:30.01\00:14:32.04
You-- you know, you may...
00:14:32.07\00:14:34.64
Could have a problem.
00:14:34.67\00:14:35.71
Oh, you might
have a real emergency
00:14:35.74\00:14:38.00
on your hand, you know.
00:14:38.03\00:14:39.66
And so anyway we cut it down,
00:14:39.69\00:14:43.11
cut in half and then
when I was able to see him.
00:14:43.14\00:14:45.85
I said why don't we stop this
00:14:45.88\00:14:47.57
because you are
not gonna be eating.
00:14:47.60\00:14:49.29
We always have to do that
and it's kind of a novel thing
00:14:49.32\00:14:53.59
but our sister
institution used to do that.
00:14:53.62\00:14:56.27
They used to do that in at
lifestyle center in Oklahoma
00:14:56.30\00:15:02.11
and so they were the
ones that brought that to us
00:15:02.14\00:15:04.23
and so that was a
really neat thing.
00:15:04.26\00:15:05.91
So anyway here he
goes and he's on that
00:15:05.94\00:15:08.64
and his blood
sugars were going up.
00:15:08.67\00:15:11.84
And they were high but
they weren't out of line
00:15:11.87\00:15:14.80
from what he had before.
00:15:14.83\00:15:16.31
I have one other patient
00:15:16.34\00:15:17.76
that she never got
her blood sugar below 350.
00:15:17.79\00:15:20.87
And she had that for eight years
00:15:20.90\00:15:22.52
and so I'm thinking well,
00:15:22.55\00:15:24.02
you know, let's do this
and let's see what happens
00:15:24.05\00:15:27.86
and that's the reason
why it's so important.
00:15:27.89\00:15:30.38
If he's not
followed up and he thinks
00:15:30.41\00:15:32.26
hey, you know, we did this
00:15:32.29\00:15:35.13
and it was just wonderful
and all this stuff you know.
00:15:35.16\00:15:38.48
They go back to their other way,
00:15:38.51\00:15:40.10
they're going
to see their doctor
00:15:40.13\00:15:41.82
and the doctor's just you know
00:15:41.85\00:15:43.80
he's either
thinking about P.T. Barnum,
00:15:43.83\00:15:46.52
there's a sucker
born every minute
00:15:46.55\00:15:49.41
or he's thinking about
how can people be so gullible
00:15:49.44\00:15:52.69
because there isn't such a thing
00:15:52.72\00:15:54.03
as reversing diabetes.
00:15:54.06\00:15:56.11
But now when he left,
00:15:56.14\00:15:57.74
his blood sugars were acceptable
00:15:57.77\00:15:59.70
for the stage that he is in.
00:15:59.73\00:16:01.65
Now you see he's out here,
00:16:01.68\00:16:05.05
he's got the metabolic syndrome.
00:16:05.08\00:16:07.62
He's got all the parts
of the metabolic syndrome
00:16:07.65\00:16:10.81
and now he's working on that.
00:16:10.84\00:16:13.05
And we know from people
00:16:13.08\00:16:15.77
that have worked with
the metabolic syndrome
00:16:15.80\00:16:18.17
which is killing our teenagers
00:16:18.20\00:16:20.37
in this generation of teenagers.
00:16:20.40\00:16:22.78
We know that when
they start exercising
00:16:22.81\00:16:25.46
and what did he tell you
00:16:25.49\00:16:27.10
about his
exercise in that one day.
00:16:27.13\00:16:29.31
Oh, he walked 12
miles in one day.
00:16:29.34\00:16:30.93
Absolutely.
00:16:30.96\00:16:32.00
He's never done
that before in his life.
00:16:32.03\00:16:34.77
The people that are doing this
00:16:34.80\00:16:36.86
have to be walking 6 to
10, in one day he did 12.
00:16:36.89\00:16:40.62
Let me add something right here,
00:16:40.65\00:16:42.13
I got to cut you off.
00:16:42.16\00:16:43.19
Friends, I want
00:16:43.22\00:16:44.28
you to pay attention
to what doctor is saying.
00:16:44.31\00:16:46.98
This is just not a guy
00:16:47.01\00:16:48.94
that's telling
you about another guy.
00:16:48.97\00:16:51.55
He's got 25
years here at Newstart,
00:16:51.58\00:16:56.71
here at Weimar and he's seen
00:16:56.74\00:16:59.41
thousands of
patients over the years
00:16:59.44\00:17:02.26
and helped many, many people.
00:17:02.29\00:17:03.74
This is just one of many,
21 medications this guy had
00:17:03.77\00:17:08.32
and he was taking some of
them two or three times a day.
00:17:08.35\00:17:11.82
How is it possible, doc?
00:17:11.85\00:17:14.06
Well, after you've been
out on the trails with somebody
00:17:14.09\00:17:17.56
that's on the
picnic and stuff like that,
00:17:17.59\00:17:19.55
and they are lying on the ground
00:17:19.58\00:17:21.07
and you've got
their head tilted down.
00:17:21.10\00:17:22.87
Then you get a
little bit more conservative
00:17:22.90\00:17:25.53
on how much
you're gonna get them.
00:17:25.56\00:17:27.75
But anyway that's
just a side thing.
00:17:27.78\00:17:29.63
So what's so important is
that he continues to do this
00:17:29.66\00:17:33.39
because as the fat comes out
of the inside of his abdomen,
00:17:33.42\00:17:37.66
as the fat
comes out of his liver
00:17:37.69\00:17:40.45
which is the metabolic syndrome,
00:17:40.48\00:17:42.32
his cholesterol comes down,
his triglycerides comes down.
00:17:42.35\00:17:45.52
He doesn't eat
the refined sugars
00:17:45.55\00:17:48.32
but he can eat the
complex carbohydrates.
00:17:48.35\00:17:51.60
The way they are packaged,
00:17:51.63\00:17:52.95
the way God made the
grains and the legumes
00:17:52.98\00:17:55.65
and all these things
and he'll be doing fine.
00:17:55.68\00:17:58.18
Hence, whole
foods Whole plant foods.
00:17:58.21\00:18:02.11
Plant foods. Eaten whole.
00:18:02.14\00:18:03.28
Eaten whole.
00:18:03.31\00:18:04.34
No added oil and no added sugar
00:18:04.37\00:18:07.08
and you with that
amount of exercise
00:18:07.11\00:18:09.93
you will be on the
way to abundant health.
00:18:09.96\00:18:13.83
Now, you know, I
came through the program,
00:18:13.86\00:18:17.88
by the way it will be 9
years this coming August.
00:18:17.91\00:18:21.86
You get a handshake for that.
00:18:21.89\00:18:24.42
That's a month away from now.
00:18:24.45\00:18:26.23
Yeah. 9 years ago.
00:18:26.26\00:18:27.38
I'm excited about you doing this
00:18:27.41\00:18:28.99
because you are the one
that should be doing it.
00:18:29.02\00:18:30.89
Well, I'm doing it
00:18:30.92\00:18:32.55
and I'm real
grateful to be doing it.
00:18:32.58\00:18:34.98
And I-- you know sometimes
00:18:35.01\00:18:37.34
I say is this possible
00:18:37.37\00:18:39.10
that this could
really be happening to me,
00:18:39.13\00:18:41.86
9 years I'd been free of...
00:18:41.89\00:18:44.68
And it has been progressive
for you too, isn't it?
00:18:44.71\00:18:46.34
Yes, yes, it has.
00:18:46.37\00:18:47.86
And so we have to
always encourage people
00:18:47.89\00:18:49.70
but that's why the follow up.
00:18:49.73\00:18:51.17
Yes.
00:18:51.20\00:18:52.23
Yeah, you just
told me the other day
00:18:52.26\00:18:53.70
that some of the
people have forgotten
00:18:53.73\00:18:55.16
almost everything we told them.
00:18:55.19\00:18:56.85
That's not unusual,
that's a short period of time.
00:18:56.88\00:18:59.03
That's right.
00:18:59.06\00:19:00.10
And even after 9 years sometimes
00:19:00.13\00:19:02.55
I come to you and say,
00:19:02.58\00:19:03.62
hey, what about this,
that and the other thing.
00:19:03.65\00:19:05.05
Yeah.
00:19:05.08\00:19:06.11
But I'm always encouraged
because I get to talk to people
00:19:06.14\00:19:09.87
and encourage them
and it triggers that,
00:19:09.90\00:19:12.77
oh, wow, I have a
responsibility here.
00:19:12.80\00:19:15.14
Yeah, yeah, it does.
00:19:15.17\00:19:16.23
Anyway let's talk about Andy
00:19:16.26\00:19:17.60
a little bit
more rather than me.
00:19:17.63\00:19:19.25
Okay, so what's gonna
happen is that as he can--
00:19:19.28\00:19:23.16
as he just keep shrinking
down and getting smaller,
00:19:23.19\00:19:28.20
his insulin requirements
are going to be less and less
00:19:28.23\00:19:31.86
to get the energy
units into the cells
00:19:31.89\00:19:36.75
and he talked about that.
00:19:36.78\00:19:37.85
He understands
this kind of stuff
00:19:37.88\00:19:39.61
and then he
will essentially have
00:19:39.64\00:19:42.11
reversed his metabolic syndrome
00:19:42.14\00:19:44.42
which says more things
than just the diabetes.
00:19:44.45\00:19:47.82
It is so awesome to
see what's happened to him
00:19:47.85\00:19:51.74
and I was
impressed with the miles
00:19:51.77\00:19:54.03
that he's walked and
his whole life is changed.
00:19:54.06\00:19:57.36
Yeah.
00:19:57.39\00:19:58.42
Can we actually
say that most people
00:19:58.45\00:20:02.77
who come to the Newstart program
00:20:02.80\00:20:05.86
will have the
same kind of change?
00:20:05.89\00:20:08.97
While they are
here, it's wonderful
00:20:09.00\00:20:11.27
and almost
everybody will say look,
00:20:11.30\00:20:13.75
I'm on it and we talked about
00:20:13.78\00:20:17.44
when we talked
about his wife Debby,
00:20:17.47\00:20:19.47
the fact that the
two of them were there
00:20:19.50\00:20:21.76
but I have to warn them,
don't ride herd on each other.
00:20:21.79\00:20:25.15
Because then they
can fight against you
00:20:25.18\00:20:27.88
instead of
against the Holy Spirit
00:20:27.91\00:20:29.87
when he's trying to
help you do your very best.
00:20:29.90\00:20:32.35
And yeah and it's the thing in--
00:20:32.38\00:20:34.01
it'll be encouraging to them
00:20:34.04\00:20:35.58
and you know if
something comes up,
00:20:35.61\00:20:37.64
sometimes they were
just-- there's one little thing
00:20:37.67\00:20:40.20
that has to be done to
adjust and it's a huge thing
00:20:40.23\00:20:44.03
but it doesn't
take much of a change
00:20:44.06\00:20:46.58
and they do it well.
00:20:46.61\00:20:48.38
You know, doc,
00:20:48.41\00:20:49.44
one of the
things that impressed me
00:20:49.47\00:20:51.67
as I think back
was I remember you
00:20:51.70\00:20:56.51
or one of the
doctors said, you know,
00:20:56.54\00:20:59.56
we prayed for you
before you got here.
00:20:59.59\00:21:02.36
We're praying for
you while you are here
00:21:02.39\00:21:05.13
and we'll pray for
you after you've gone
00:21:05.16\00:21:08.87
and I feel those
prayers everyday.
00:21:08.90\00:21:11.99
And the great
physician is the one who--
00:21:12.02\00:21:14.39
is the only one who can heal.
00:21:14.42\00:21:16.30
Amen. The only one.
00:21:16.33\00:21:18.46
Amen.
00:21:18.49\00:21:20.09
And he's made it so easy for us.
00:21:20.12\00:21:23.06
He's made it so easy.
00:21:23.09\00:21:25.22
He even gave us someone
to write books about this.
00:21:25.25\00:21:28.33
He begs it to do
it. And I'm grateful.
00:21:28.36\00:21:33.57
I want to thank you
for all the work you do,
00:21:33.60\00:21:36.57
not just here at
the Newstart program,
00:21:36.60\00:21:39.10
the work you've done overseas
00:21:39.13\00:21:41.49
and Africa and else
where, I know that--
00:21:41.52\00:21:45.15
Now, there was a blessing to us.
00:21:45.18\00:21:46.58
Yeah, I'm sure it was,
but I want to thank you.
00:21:46.61\00:21:50.10
And thank you
for being my friend
00:21:50.13\00:21:52.34
and my doctor as well.
00:21:52.37\00:21:54.07
Yeah, very good.
00:21:54.10\00:21:55.13
You're doing a
good work, I know.
00:21:55.16\00:21:57.11
And thank you friends,
00:21:57.14\00:21:58.17
but don't go
away 'cause up next,
00:21:58.20\00:22:00.05
we have a short cooking
demonstration with artichokes
00:22:00.08\00:22:03.93
and then Dr. David
DeRose will join us
00:22:03.96\00:22:07.30
with the little
information on vitamins.
00:22:07.33\00:22:10.40
Welcome to "Ask the
Doctor." I'm Dr. David DeRose.
00:23:15.99\00:23:19.43
Today your questions
are our concern, our focus,
00:23:19.46\00:23:23.41
we're going to
Mathew in Washington State,
00:23:23.44\00:23:26.46
he's got a question for us.
00:23:26.49\00:23:28.22
I'm a pretty healthy
person and I eat healthy.
00:23:28.25\00:23:31.79
Should I be taking vitamins?
00:23:31.82\00:23:34.97
Well, Mathew,
this is the question
00:23:35.00\00:23:36.13
that often comes up
in the real question
00:23:36.16\00:23:38.21
about vitamin
supplementation is the real one.
00:23:38.24\00:23:40.98
Let's talk a
little bit about it.
00:23:41.01\00:23:42.45
If you are
eating lots of fruits,
00:23:42.48\00:23:44.97
whole grains,
vegetables, nuts, seeds
00:23:45.00\00:23:47.08
you're getting a vast array,
00:23:47.11\00:23:49.87
not only of
conventional vitamins
00:23:49.90\00:23:52.04
but also micronutrients
00:23:52.07\00:23:53.67
and what we call phytochemicals.
00:23:53.70\00:23:55.79
The more you eat of these foods,
00:23:55.82\00:23:57.08
generally they're
healthier the diet.
00:23:57.11\00:23:59.06
Are there though
any possible pitfalls,
00:23:59.09\00:24:01.47
any areas where you
could be falling short
00:24:01.50\00:24:03.24
even with an excellent diet?
00:24:03.27\00:24:04.90
One that often comes
up on the radar screen
00:24:04.93\00:24:07.00
and especially
relevant for someone
00:24:07.03\00:24:08.57
living in
Washington State is vitamin D.
00:24:08.60\00:24:11.58
It seems we were designed
to get vitamin D from the sun.
00:24:11.61\00:24:14.81
The problem is if you are living
00:24:14.84\00:24:16.94
above the 35
degree latitude line.
00:24:16.97\00:24:20.17
Some people want
to move that higher
00:24:20.20\00:24:21.88
at least in the
northern hemisphere,
00:24:21.91\00:24:23.59
we use the same measures
in the southern hemisphere
00:24:23.62\00:24:26.16
but then we've got some problems
00:24:26.19\00:24:27.83
in the winter
months with getting
00:24:27.86\00:24:29.78
adequate amounts of vitamin D.
00:24:29.81\00:24:32.54
Further from the equator
than 35 degrees latitude.
00:24:32.57\00:24:36.31
If you say living
in northern California
00:24:36.34\00:24:39.19
that may amount to three months.
00:24:39.22\00:24:41.37
In the winter
where you can't make
00:24:41.40\00:24:42.96
adequate vitamin D.
00:24:42.99\00:24:44.35
As you go up further north,
00:24:44.38\00:24:45.92
you'll reach places
like Bergen, Norway,
00:24:45.95\00:24:49.66
it's actually been studied
00:24:49.69\00:24:50.72
fully six months out of the year
00:24:50.75\00:24:52.90
they cannot make
adequate vitamin D.
00:24:52.93\00:24:54.85
What do you do
in this situation?
00:24:54.88\00:24:56.29
You supplement or you
go into a tanning bed.
00:24:56.32\00:24:59.85
You want to get
vitamin D exposure
00:24:59.88\00:25:02.77
either through the sun
or the equivalent of sun
00:25:02.80\00:25:05.32
through what we call UVB light.
00:25:05.35\00:25:07.83
And if you don't get it,
00:25:07.86\00:25:08.92
you need to take
that in an oral form,
00:25:08.95\00:25:11.19
just kind of an interesting
sidelight from many years
00:25:11.22\00:25:13.24
I lived in the state of Maine.
00:25:13.27\00:25:15.34
In Maine I found
that the old Mainers
00:25:15.37\00:25:17.67
had some traditional wisdom
00:25:17.70\00:25:20.20
as far as how to
deal with the winter.
00:25:20.23\00:25:23.08
They took cod liver oil.
00:25:23.11\00:25:25.30
Actually cod
liver oil we now know
00:25:25.33\00:25:27.19
is a rich source of vitamin D.
00:25:27.22\00:25:28.68
They were supplementing.
00:25:28.71\00:25:29.74
In other words with
Vitamin D without knowing it.
00:25:29.77\00:25:32.05
You don't need to
take cod liver oil today,
00:25:32.08\00:25:33.89
I know that may not
sound very appealing
00:25:33.92\00:25:35.56
and I know you may be worried
about all the toxins and fish.
00:25:35.59\00:25:38.40
Vitamin D supplements
are readily available.
00:25:38.43\00:25:41.01
Anything else on the list
00:25:41.04\00:25:42.07
that commonly may not
be included in the diet
00:25:42.10\00:25:44.90
that you may need to watch for.
00:25:44.93\00:25:46.38
Another one is vitamin B12.
00:25:46.41\00:25:48.86
B12, one of the B vitamins
00:25:48.89\00:25:51.38
is something that many
people get into trouble with.
00:25:51.41\00:25:54.04
A lot of people say
00:25:54.07\00:25:55.14
well, that's a
vegetarian problem Dr. DeRose,
00:25:55.17\00:25:57.89
I eat plenty of
meat, milk, eggs and cheese
00:25:57.92\00:26:00.08
so I don't worry about B12.
00:26:00.11\00:26:01.65
That is not a guarantee.
00:26:01.68\00:26:03.05
In fact if you look
at absolute numbers,
00:26:03.08\00:26:05.33
the largest number
of people in America
00:26:05.36\00:26:07.27
who have B12
deficiency are eating
00:26:07.30\00:26:09.84
things like milk,
meat, eggs and cheese.
00:26:09.87\00:26:12.21
And that's
because as we get older,
00:26:12.24\00:26:13.62
we often do not
absorb B12 as well.
00:26:13.65\00:26:17.05
Truly if you are on a vegan diet
00:26:17.08\00:26:18.75
less exposure to B12,
00:26:18.78\00:26:20.50
but all of us need to be
concerned about this vitamin.
00:26:20.53\00:26:23.34
If you want to
know where you stand,
00:26:23.37\00:26:24.40
you can have your
blood level checked.
00:26:24.43\00:26:25.78
You are able to store
this B vitamin for many years,
00:26:25.81\00:26:28.58
but if you're not
getting a reliable source
00:26:28.61\00:26:30.52
especially if you are on
a vegetarian or vegan diet,
00:26:30.55\00:26:32.99
we do recommend a B12 supplement
00:26:33.02\00:26:35.74
on a daily basis.
00:26:35.77\00:26:36.80
B12 absorb best if it's chewed
or dissolved in the mouth.
00:26:36.83\00:26:40.92
Keep that in mind as well.
00:26:40.95\00:26:42.43
B12 and vitamin D,
it's a major concerns,
00:26:42.46\00:26:44.90
most of the other things
they take care of themselves
00:26:44.93\00:26:47.29
when you are on
an excellent diet,
00:26:47.32\00:26:48.40
of course there can be
individual differences.
00:26:48.43\00:26:50.71
If you've got
personal questions,
00:26:50.74\00:26:52.27
see a doctor.
00:26:52.30\00:26:53.37
Have some of those
test checked out on yourself
00:26:53.40\00:26:56.16
and make sure
that you are getting
00:26:56.19\00:26:57.62
everything that you need.
00:26:57.65\00:26:59.01
You are killing me.
00:27:03.55\00:27:05.44
Actually, dad, you
are killing yourself.
