00:12 Every year in America
00:14 there are over one million deaths
00:15 because of Type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:18 This includes heart attacks and strokes.
00:20 That's six and half 747s crashing every day.
00:24 What's even more surprising is that the fix is easy.
00:27 It's your lifestyle.
00:29 Wouldn't it be nice if you could
00:30 actually add quality years to your life
00:32 rather than dying one organ at a time?
00:35 Obesity and diabetes are the cause
00:37 of over million deaths per year.
00:39 Most diseases are reversible
00:41 because most diseases are lifestyle diseases,
00:44 especially Type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:48 Seriously now, they can be reversed
00:50 and the quality of your life can be renewed.
00:53 Call Newstart today at 1-800-525-9192.
01:00 You will see dramatic changes
01:01 in the first few days of our program
01:03 and you'll be on the road
01:05 to a better more robust quality of life.
01:07 The Newstart programs are simple and effective.
01:15 Hi, friends and welcome
01:16 to another edition of Newstart Now.
01:18 I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
01:21 In our studio with me we have a gentleman,
01:25 by the name of, David Unnewehr
01:28 and I'd like you to take a look at the clip,
01:30 when he first arrived.
01:34 I decided to come to Weimar after much anxiety and anxious
01:40 thinking about whether this is the right place for me
01:44 because I had lost my wife,
01:47 a year ago after a long illness,
01:51 in her last year I took care of her,
01:53 so I'm the full time caretaker,
01:55 left my job and I just found that,
01:58 you know, I was gaining weight.
01:59 And you know, some other habits were not the best.
02:03 And, and so, I was spinning my wheels
02:07 for a couple months there
02:08 and not, still not ready to go back to work.
02:13 And, I just said well, you know, at some point I said,
02:18 "How am I going to get out of this situation?"
02:20 And, and you know, how, how am I going to proceed
02:27 you know, get more direction, treat myself better.
02:31 Have better health habits, get back to the exercise,
02:34 which I've always been very good about but it lacks.
02:38 You know, recently I'd like to lose 50 pounds.
02:42 And, I know, I can't lose all that here.
02:45 But, hopefully I'll have
02:47 you know, I'll learn some better habits
02:51 and, you know, just living a healthier lifestyle
02:56 and I'd always been good on exercise
02:58 but I want to, you know,
03:00 I want to get back in that discipline
03:01 and that seems to be something you can do here
03:04 and hopefully that I'll take that back.
03:07 Hi, friends and welcome back in our studio.
03:09 David, how are you sir?
03:11 I'm doing better.
03:12 Yes, I can see that from when we first spoke
03:17 which is about two, little over two weeks ago?
03:20 Over two weeks ago, right.
03:22 You know, the viewers have just watched
03:26 your interview when you first got here.
03:29 And to many people it's obvious,
03:32 why you came here.
03:34 And, others don't know, why you came here?
03:36 So, I want to talk about specifics.
03:39 We know, and you have said already that,
03:43 your wife had passed away.
03:46 And all of a sudden your life does kind of unraveled.
03:51 And you were fighting issues of one of which was depression.
03:57 And all of a sudden,
03:59 because you were living this lifestyle,
04:03 you started gaining weight, becoming more depressed,
04:08 you didn't work for quite some time.
04:11 Has any of this change?
04:14 Number one specifically, do you have hope now
04:17 that you can re-enter the world
04:21 and get back to your old lifestyle
04:25 as a rugged exercise enthusiast.
04:30 Bike rider that rode from Chicago
04:33 to the East Coast,
04:35 how's, how's, what's gonna happen?
04:38 Well, Ron, I'm, I'm very hopeful that
04:43 I always knew that I could get
04:44 the physical fitness back and lose some weight.
04:50 And that certainly happened here at Weimar,
04:51 I lost ten and a half pounds already.
04:55 Blood pressure went from borderline
04:58 to slightly below borderline
05:00 to very, very safe zone, so I'm feeling good about that.
05:03 What was it, let me ask.
05:05 I think, I think when I got here,
05:07 it was probably 135 over 88,
05:11 and now I'm consistently getting 120 over and over 80
05:14 or I had one that was 110 over 68.
05:18 All right.
05:19 So, I've never had one that low.
05:21 You know, when I was in my 20s and 30s
05:22 so, I was very happy about that.
05:24 Why do you think that happened?
05:26 Well, I think it's the, the low fat,
05:30 high plant based diet, not eating junk food.
05:35 When you know, I did cook for my wife
05:39 when she was ailing
05:40 and I learned to cook a little bit.
05:42 But, once she was gone.
05:44 You know, I did, I just didn't have that incentive
05:45 to really take care of myself.
05:48 And so, I eat out when I did eat.
05:50 Sometimes I skip meals, sometimes I had beverages
05:54 that probably weren't the best for me.
05:56 And, I just didn't...
06:03 I ate it what I would call a very haphazard diet.
06:07 Sometimes it was good, you know,
06:08 because I have those basic instincts
06:10 I've always known that,
06:11 you know, you should eat a lot of vegetables.
06:13 I have gardens,
06:15 but I kind of let my gardens go a little bit.
06:17 I know, you should eat a lot of fruit
06:19 but, you know, I was very inconsistent
06:21 and not really caring that much.
06:23 Yeah. So, all the...
06:27 Being introduced to vegan and vegetarian food that,
06:32 that really tastes good
06:34 and actually getting some cooking classes to see how,
06:38 I might try to prepare these myself
06:40 and fortunately I have some sons that love to cook.
06:43 So, I'm hoping they will help me with.
06:45 In fact one of my sons is a chef.
06:47 Really?
06:48 A pretty good chief, he was a chief in open California,
06:50 and now he's just moved back to Washington D.C. where I am.
06:54 And, I'm hoping that he'll get, maybe enthused about this too
06:57 and kind of help me along with that.
06:59 Well, I'm sure he knows a lot more than,
07:02 we even know,
07:03 because they learn this in school themselves.
07:06 They do, yeah.
07:07 So, you know, I do see a change of attitude here.
07:11 Right.
07:13 And, I see that you're a lot more open.
07:16 You're ready to hit the road,
07:18 and just, you know, go for the gusto.
07:22 How are you going to...? How's that going to manifest?
07:24 What do you, what are you going to do
07:26 when you get back home?
07:28 Well, I think, you know, I was after,
07:32 you know, I think for the first six months to a year
07:35 after you lose a spouse, you're kind of in a cocoon,
07:37 you're feeling, okay, and you're grieving
07:41 but I think the panic sort of hits
07:44 when all of sudden you realize she's gone.
07:48 I left my job, I left work to take care of her for a year,
07:52 which was a good thing to do.
07:54 But now, you know, when I started thinking
07:58 back six months ago about getting a resume,
08:01 my resume back together.
08:03 Calling up all my old contacts that I had just basic clean up,
08:09 getting organized again just seemed overwhelming,
08:11 it seems less overwhelming now.
08:13 I don't think it's completely gone.
08:14 Right.
08:16 I mean I think physically I'm back
08:18 and I know what to do on that
08:19 but, I got to work on the mental aspect too.
08:22 Well sure, but you look like a strapping guy,
08:25 you look strong and healthy, you've got good stature
08:30 and you're still a young man.
08:33 Thank you, thank you. Yes.
08:34 I can say that.
08:36 At 63, that's a good, good thing to...
08:38 Good to hear it. Yeah.
08:40 Sometimes, when you're down, you don't feel like that.
08:42 Well, of course. Yeah.
08:43 Of course. Yeah.
08:45 I can remember, when I was in my 20's
08:47 that I was feeling life,
08:49 life was going to end any minute.
08:50 Wow.
08:52 So, you know, I see
08:54 and, you know, we're going to help you.
08:57 When...
08:59 And I think this is a good segue into that.
09:02 When you leave here,
09:03 you're going to get an e-mail from me.
09:05 Oh, okay.
09:07 And the e-mail is going to say something like,
09:09 we know that being accountable is very helpful for you.
09:16 Right. And, if you choose to.
09:19 I will make a monthly call to you and we will talk.
09:24 I will encourage and inspire light of fire.
09:27 Whatever you care for me to do, I'll be there to do it.
09:31 So, I'm looking forward to work with you on that.
09:34 Well, that's great, you know, I mean accountability
09:37 is one thing that I found here, we...
09:40 Our group was special here we,
09:43 we have kind of a natural leader Jack from Rhode Island
09:46 who organized a 5 to 6 am walking group.
09:50 Yes.
09:52 And they have told us that
09:54 there has never been a pre-breakfast walking crew.
09:57 No, there hasn't, not that I know.
09:59 And we started out, well, we consistently done
10:02 about three miles before dawn every morning.
10:05 And, since the time is changing,
10:07 it's getting later every day, we started out with some light.
10:11 And then it would, the sun would rise.
10:12 Now, we're starting out with no light
10:14 and we're walking with flashlights.
10:17 But there's a lot of accountability in that group
10:19 and, you know, I'd love to take all those folks
10:22 that walk with me home.
10:23 Yeah.
10:25 But there are, some of are in L.A.
10:26 some of them are in Rhode Island,
10:28 I'm in Maryland so, I don't know how I can do that
10:34 but maybe we can do a skype walk.
10:36 Call in the morning but, if you call me,
10:38 that's going to help too.
10:39 You bet, you bet.
10:40 And, you know, there is a special thing
10:43 that happens with our guests
10:45 when they come through the program.
10:47 And I know this because I was one of you.
10:49 As I have already testified.
10:52 And we get very close,
10:55 there's a bonding that takes place.
10:57 When, people come together for a common cause to get well.
11:02 Miracles happen. Right.
11:04 And I know you've seen several
11:06 right here in the last couple of weeks.
11:08 That's right.
11:09 Nonetheless, please do keep in contact with these folks.
11:15 Yeah. They'll help you.
11:16 Yeah.
11:18 It's amazing, sometimes I wonder
11:20 who the doctors are, the guests
11:22 who are helping one another
11:25 or the doctors and, you know, I mean
11:28 it's just like we, we help one another.
11:30 Right. Who is your doctor?
11:32 Isn't doctor Ing?
11:33 It's Dr. Ing. Yes.
11:34 And I really got along well with him.
11:37 He's a really caring man.
11:39 Isn't he a special guy.
11:41 Have you ever had a doctor, spend an hour with you.
11:45 No, I never have and the thing that
11:47 really amazed me was after, after second
11:53 and every appointment since,
11:55 we have about 15 or 20 minutes together.
11:57 And, then he says, "Let's go for a walk."
11:59 Yeah.
12:00 Now, has anybody ever had a doctor
12:02 that says, "Let's go for a walk"
12:03 and he, he walks with each of his patients.
12:06 That's right. Yeah.
12:08 I remember that. Yeah.
12:09 And by the way, they also take you to the house
12:13 and fix you a nice meal that first Friday night.
12:15 Oh, yeah. I bet you enjoyed that?
12:17 Oh, yeah. Dr. Lukens did that.
12:19 Right, well actually it was Dr. Ing.
12:21 Oh, was Dr. Ing? Dr. Ing.
12:23 Oh, okay. And, and his wife Mae.
12:25 All right.
12:26 And she had a special treat,
12:30 some kind of cookie, you know, ball type shape that,
12:34 reminded me of the cookie,
12:36 the powdered sugar cookies my mom used to make,
12:41 except they didn't have the,
12:43 the sugar or anything like that.
12:44 With the rum inside or without the rum?
12:45 Oh, no rum, no rum, I don't think.
12:47 The rum balls. Yeah, yeah.
12:49 We ran out of time. Okay.
12:51 I want to thank you and God bless you.
12:54 We'll be talking. Yeah. Okay.
12:57 Now, friends, don't go away,
12:59 because Dr. Ing is going to be right with us,
13:02 after this very important message.
13:11 Welcome to Ask the Doctor. I'm Dr. David DeRose.
13:15 We're taking your questions
13:17 and we're going today to Lisa, in West Virginia.
13:20 Here's Lisa's question, "Here in America,
13:23 what would you recommend as the best diet
13:27 for the general population to follow and why?"
13:31 Well, I wish I could tell you there was one best diet
13:33 for every single person.
13:35 But, the amazing thing is we're all different.
13:38 But there is one general dietary strategy
13:40 that nutritionist after nutritionist
13:43 is pointing us to, it's a voice, it's a chorus,
13:46 it's been growing in volume over the last decade or two.
13:51 They're telling us listen,
13:52 "Move more toward a vegetarian diet."
13:55 Eat more of those plant foods, more whole fruits,
13:58 whole grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds.
14:02 Some of you, as you listen to this message, you'd say,
14:03 "But I've been hearing this message so much,
14:05 I wanted to hear something different on this show."
14:09 Actually, it's hard to change the truth.
14:11 And so, many Americans are getting the message,
14:14 they're getting away from their heavy abundance
14:16 of meat, milk, eggs and cheese
14:18 and they're going to more plant products.
14:20 Some of you'll say, "Well, Dr. DeRose,
14:21 that's why I am essentially a vegetarian.
14:23 I'm only eating animal products once a week or less."
14:27 Well, that's great,
14:28 but you want to know something amazing,
14:30 some of the latest data from one of the most impressive
14:33 medical research studies have some 90,000 people
14:37 and what's being called the Adventist Health Study too.
14:40 Some of you know Seventh-day Adventists,
14:42 among the healthiest people in the world.
14:44 The federal government of the United Sates
14:46 has spent million of dollars, trying to study
14:48 why Seventh-day Adventists are so healthy.
14:51 Because they're not interested
14:52 in making the general populist Adventists,
14:55 but they want to get the benefits
14:57 from this people group and extend them
14:59 to the whole population.
15:01 What is some of the most recent data
15:03 from the Adventist Health Study showing?
15:04 They're actually showing,
15:06 that if you're a semi-vegetarian,
15:08 if you're only having occasional serving of meat,
15:11 milk, eggs or cheese,
15:12 your health is significantly worse.
15:15 When it comes to a risk of developing things
15:17 like diabetes and high blood pressure
15:20 than a total vegetarian or vegan.
15:23 The message is simply this.
15:25 For most people getting all the animal products
15:28 out of their diet is the most powerful
15:31 health giving diet on the planet.
15:34 And if you move in that direction,
15:36 you will likely see significant health benefits.
15:39 I'm Dr. David DeRose, thank you for joining us
15:42 on today's editions of Ask the doctor.
15:44 You can be a part of the dialog.
15:46 Simple send us your questions, ask@lifeandhealth.org.
15:56 Welcome, back friends.
15:57 And as I promised Dr. Clarence Ing.
16:00 It's great to be here, Ron.
16:01 Good to see you Doc. And it's...
16:03 I can hardly wait to talk about Dave,
16:06 such a precious soul,
16:10 let me just ask you, just in general,
16:12 how did he do during the program?
16:13 Well, I was here in the program,
16:15 you learn the importance of good healthy diet.
16:18 The advantages of a plant based diet.
16:21 He was fortunate be in,
16:23 before he came his cholesterol levels were good,
16:26 you know, he, he doesn't have high blood pressure
16:28 heart disease, so that's marvelous.
16:31 And so we learned some important things
16:33 and the importance of activity.
16:35 And so he chose to continue to do these things
16:40 and I think that's important.
16:42 One of the things I noticed
16:44 and I noticed because I remember
16:46 when I came through the program,
16:48 I saw that I was at a place where people cared about me
16:54 and I felt that way about my doctor,
16:57 I felt that way about you, you were here then.
17:00 Dr. Lukens was here, and Michael was my
17:03 personal physician at the time and I just felt like,
17:07 this is the place I need to be, these people really care.
17:12 Does in fact attitude have something to do with healing?
17:18 Oh, attitude in what you think about have a,
17:21 I think it really have tremendous impact
17:24 on our health, you know, there is a familiar text
17:27 with many of our listeners here are familiar with,
17:30 it says, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
17:33 but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
17:36 Well, I like the good news paraphrase of that
17:39 and says, "Be happy, be healthy,
17:41 why do you want to be gloomy and sick all the time."
17:45 And, you know, broken spirit drieth the bones,
17:49 your immune systems, your red blood cells,
17:51 I mean your white blood cells are made in the bone marrow.
17:54 And it's pretty common knowledge
17:57 that when people are depressed and down,
18:00 they have more health problems and they don't do as well.
18:04 So, that's the other side of the coin.
18:06 You have a choice of being,
18:10 can we really choose our attitudes.
18:13 How can we change, when we're feeling down,
18:16 maybe I'll use a word, this is, maybe to heavy.
18:20 Maybe we'll feel little depressed or anxious,
18:23 how do we change that?
18:24 Well, I think what's really important is,
18:26 what you choose to think about and that's important choice.
18:32 Choice is just really important.
18:35 Now, we understand we can't control
18:37 all the thoughts that go, come into our mind.
18:40 But out of the ones that come into our mind,
18:42 we are the ones who choose,
18:45 select which one's we're going to think about.
18:48 And I think there we need to think
18:50 upon the positive things.
18:52 I mean, you know, you read in the Bible,
18:56 you can think, you develop on the positive, the good,
18:58 it doesn't tell us to think about
18:59 all the bad things that have happened to us.
19:01 All the people who have hurt us
19:03 or taken advantage of us, dwell on the positive.
19:06 And that's what the Apostle Paul writes for us.
19:09 So, I think the same thing,
19:11 it's true that I may have some negative thoughts in my mind,
19:14 but I don't have to think about those.
19:17 And, you know,
19:19 I thought about things that might possibly happen.
19:23 And I give an illustration sometimes in the class,
19:26 you know, I get up in the morning
19:28 and I've got to take a shower and get to work.
19:30 But as I step in the shower I think oh, you know,
19:34 if I'm not careful, I could slip and break my leg.
19:37 And then I couldn't get to work.
19:39 So, then I go back to bed and I lie down in bed,
19:42 I pull up the covers and I'm very comfortable.
19:44 Then I start to think,
19:46 you know, more people die in bed than any other place.
19:48 Beds are really pretty dangerous,
19:50 I better get out of here.
19:51 You better get out of the bed.
19:53 Yeah, and so, then I say,
19:55 "Well, I guess I could go get in my car and drive to work."
19:59 And I said, you know, "35,000 plus thousand
20:04 people die in motor vehicle accidents each year."
20:07 You know, I could get killed on my way to work.
20:10 And so, says, you know, "This is a bus,
20:12 I got to start thinking more positively so--
20:16 That's a great illustration how we can really ruin our day.
20:21 But, you know, there are those
20:24 who perhaps would need to come here
20:27 for Dr. Nedley's depression recovery program.
20:30 Right.
20:32 Which we do have available so, friends,
20:34 you could call us about the depression recovery.
20:37 They happen every couple of months or so.
20:40 But, doctor, I want to just take a moment and thank you.
20:44 I know you're busy guy.
20:46 And, you've taken your time here
20:48 to talk with us about Dave.
20:50 So, thank you very much,
20:53 looking forward to working with you more in the future.
20:56 And be careful what you choose to think about.
20:59 Amen.
21:00 And, friends, you be careful what you choose to think about,
21:04 but, don't go away we have a tip for you.

21:31 and I see certain patterns that tend to repeat themselves.
21:34 And I decided to boil down those patterns
21:37 into a presentation that I call
21:39 the Seven Deadly Psychological Sins.
21:43 Let me share a little bit about
21:44 what I mean about deadly psychological sins.
21:46 These aren't moral sins per se.
21:48 But there are things that we do that sabotage ourselves,
21:53 hurt other people or sabotage our relationships.
21:56 In other words, there are ways in which we dysfunction.
21:58 We might say it that way.
22:00 The format of my videos here is that,
22:03 I'm going to start out with the deadly psychological sin,
22:05 I'm going to develop it, I'm going to help explain
22:07 what I'm talking about.
22:09 And then I'm gonna share with you
22:10 a Replacement Behavior,
22:12 because it's futile to just point out our problems.
22:16 We need to come up with a replacement
22:17 for those problems.
22:18 We have an expression
22:20 in behavioral psychology which says,
22:22 "That negative reinforcement stops behavior
22:24 but positive reinforcement encourages behavior."
22:27 So, if we don't replace those negative patterns
22:30 with something positive,
22:32 then we're likely to relapse just like Jesus said,
22:35 "If you get one demon out,
22:37 if you don't fill that room with something,
22:38 seven more are going to come in."
22:40 So, I'm gonna give you the replacement behavior
22:42 that will help to substitute for that dysfunctional pattern
22:46 in your life or in the life of someone else.
22:48 And, I hope it's real helpful to you,
22:49 I'm gonna do my best to share
22:51 something that's encouraging
22:52 and uplifting and useful to you.
23:01 First deadly psychological sin is criticism, criticism,
23:06 I don't know if you've borne
23:07 the brunt of being raised in a critical home.
23:10 But human beings are by nature
23:13 negatively focused and problem focused.
23:17 In fact, research has shown that 75% of the interactions
23:21 between teachers in elementary school
23:23 and their students is negative.
23:26 Research has also shown that in a child's life time
23:29 from birth to 18-years old he hears the word "No."
23:32 from his parents, 148,000 times.
23:37 Bottom line of all this is that positive interaction.
23:41 And particularly affirmation versus criticism
23:44 is a learned skill,
23:45 it's something we have to do proactively and intentionally
23:48 or we will revert back to our critical patterns.
23:52 Story is told of a young man,
23:54 who was complaining about of the hymns at church,
23:57 he said, "They were very boring."
23:59 His father said, "Well, if you're going
24:00 to complain about it then write one of your own."
24:02 Boy went into his bedroom, and he wrote to him,
24:06 "When I surveyed the wondrous cross."
24:10 The young man was Isaac Watts
24:11 and he went on to write over 350,
24:14 many of them famous hymns including, "Joy to the world."
24:17 So, there's a place for criticism.
24:19 Criticism serves a function.
24:21 We by nature as human beings are, are capable of reason
24:25 and what we call critical thinking.
24:27 All criticism is not bad.
24:28 But we need to sort of capture this beast
24:31 and train it, so that it benefits us and others.
24:35 Scientific research has shown that people
24:38 that are raised in critical environments
24:41 where there is much criticism among the family of origin,
24:44 tend to have more depression diagnoses
24:47 and more depressive symptoms.
24:49 In fact, a critical environment at home has been associated
24:53 with a broad spectrum of mental illnesses,
24:56 such as schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.
24:59 I have a quote here from Abraham Lincoln,
25:01 "He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help."
25:06 In order to find out,
25:08 if you have the heart to help that person,
25:09 I recommend that you ask yourself three questions
25:11 before criticizing them.
25:13 Number one, "Do I love to criticize?
25:15 Or do I hate to criticize?'
25:16 If you love it,
25:18 I think you need to give yourself pause there.
25:19 Number two, "Am I doing it to help?
25:23 Is that my motive?"
25:25 Number three, "Will I do it kindly
25:28 and will I do it to that person's face?"
25:31 Be aware of cyber criticism.
25:34 Cyber criticism can easily turn into a form of cyber bullying.
25:39 It's really best when you're addressing sensitive topics
25:42 to talk to that person eyeball to eyeball so to speak.
25:45 The replacement for criticism, I'm sure you're dying to know,
25:48 very simple.
25:50 It's affirmation, learn to affirm people.
25:53 This does not come naturally to us.
25:55 I recommend that if you're a critic holic,
25:57 we might call it.
25:59 That you go on a criticism fast,
26:00 for two to three weeks where you criticize, nothing,
26:04 no one, not even yourself for three weeks.
26:07 I challenge you to try that.
26:09 And then afterwards, you, when you issue a criticism
26:12 always do it in what we call, affirmation sandwich style.
26:16 You will affirm that person. Then you issue the criticism.
26:20 And then you followed up with another affirmation.
26:23 This helps to soften the blow.
26:25 Marriage experts, John Gottman say,
26:27 "That in order to neutralize
26:29 the emotional impact of a criticism,
26:32 one must affirm five times."
26:34 So remember that ratio five affirmations to one criticism.
26:40 What is the affect of an affirming
26:42 environment in the home?
26:43 We've talked about the affect of a critical environment.
26:45 What's, what's the affect of an affirming environment?
26:49 Some research has shown
26:51 that there is a positive correlation
26:54 between fatherly affirmation and high self-esteem in girls.
27:00 There's a negative correlation
27:02 between fatherly affirmation and fear of intimacy.
27:07 So in other words, if father's affirm their daughters,
27:10 they're likely to feel good about themselves
27:12 and they're likely to be able
27:14 to develop healthy relationships.
27:15 Sounds like a good thing to do. Try starting today.
27:19 Affirming someone that you would normally criticize.
27:21 And, usually I hate to say
27:22 if it's those that are closest to us
27:24 that we tend to be so critical of.
27:26 But try turning that around and intentionally proactively
27:30 affirming that person, they won't know what happened.
27:34 Well, friends that's it for today
27:36 but join us next week for another episode.
27:39 In the meantime, pick up the phone
27:41 and give us a call at 1-800-525-9192.
