Every year in America
00:00:12.14\00:00:13.48
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:13.51\00:00:14.84
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.88\00:00:17.85
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.88\00:00:20.22
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:00:20.25\00:00:23.65
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:23.69\00:00:27.12
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.16\00:00:28.62
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually
00:00:28.66\00:00:30.43
add quality years to your life
00:00:30.46\00:00:31.99
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:32.03\00:00:34.66
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:34.70\00:00:36.60
of over million deaths per year.
00:00:36.63\00:00:39.13
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:39.17\00:00:41.07
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.10\00:00:44.04
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.07\00:00:47.51
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:47.54\00:00:49.84
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.04\00:01:19.74
In our studio with me today
00:01:19.77\00:01:21.58
is Damien
Albarelli from Florida,
00:01:21.61\00:01:25.21
and we've got a
interesting story for you,
00:01:25.25\00:01:27.88
but let's take a look
at when he first arrived.
00:01:27.92\00:01:33.99
Hi, I'm here,
00:01:34.02\00:01:35.36
I have Type 2 diabetes
and high blood pressure.
00:01:35.39\00:01:39.59
I'm on one
medication for the diabetes
00:01:39.63\00:01:41.86
and four different
kinds of medications
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.83
for the high blood pressure.
00:01:44.87\00:01:48.94
So I'm here to
address those issues
00:01:48.97\00:01:51.07
and hopefully
get off the medicine
00:01:51.11\00:01:52.64
and then make
some lifestyle changes.
00:01:52.67\00:01:54.51
I would like to, you
know, get off the medication,
00:01:54.54\00:01:57.31
lose some weight and
just feel healthier overall.
00:01:57.35\00:02:03.18
Welcome back,
friends, in our studio.
00:02:03.22\00:02:05.62
Damien, how you doing brother?
00:02:05.65\00:02:07.02
Good, good. How are you?
00:02:07.06\00:02:08.39
Good. I'm great.
00:02:08.42\00:02:10.19
I'm so happy and pleased
to hear about your results.
00:02:10.23\00:02:15.50
Yeah, it's been
nothing but great.
00:02:15.53\00:02:17.30
Everything...
00:02:17.33\00:02:18.97
thought it might be
a struggle to start now
00:02:19.00\00:02:20.77
but just committed
myself to the program,
00:02:20.80\00:02:23.87
and I got to say I'm
happy with the results
00:02:23.91\00:02:25.94
and no complaints at all.
00:02:25.97\00:02:28.21
So when you came
through the program,
00:02:28.24\00:02:30.91
when you first got
here when, you know,
00:02:30.95\00:02:33.38
you and I are
both raised Italians
00:02:33.42\00:02:35.48
so I know about munching.
00:02:35.52\00:02:38.29
But when you started
eating the food here,
00:02:38.32\00:02:40.99
how did that feel?
00:02:41.02\00:02:42.62
Everything was good, you know.
00:02:42.66\00:02:44.59
Surprisingly you thought,
00:02:44.63\00:02:46.90
just the initial
thought was, you know,
00:02:46.93\00:02:48.66
like this not going to
fill me up and everything,
00:02:48.70\00:02:50.60
but man, you walk
away from the table
00:02:50.63\00:02:52.90
not wanting anything
00:02:52.93\00:02:54.27
like, you know,
you're not hungry at all.
00:02:54.30\00:02:55.64
Right.
00:02:55.67\00:02:57.01
And then they sprung
me a three day fast on us.
00:02:57.04\00:02:59.77
You know we weren't
told upfront, but...
00:02:59.81\00:03:03.68
We didn't know... No, no
00:03:03.71\00:03:05.05
I would have told you otherwise.
00:03:05.08\00:03:06.41
No, yeah, it was a surprise
00:03:06.45\00:03:07.78
and I think
everybody in our class
00:03:07.82\00:03:10.19
did it except for one person.
00:03:10.22\00:03:11.75
One girl. Yeah.
00:03:11.79\00:03:13.12
So it was a, you know, it
was a support system there
00:03:13.15\00:03:16.39
and everybody stuck with it
00:03:16.42\00:03:18.09
and had great results
and nobody had complaints,
00:03:18.13\00:03:21.06
you know, and everybody's,
00:03:21.10\00:03:22.86
everybody's
really glad they did it.
00:03:22.90\00:03:24.43
All right.
00:03:24.47\00:03:25.80
So that wasn't a big deal
the changeover for your diet.
00:03:25.83\00:03:30.41
No, not really.
00:03:30.44\00:03:31.77
Okay.
00:03:31.81\00:03:33.14
You know, you
start feeling better
00:03:33.17\00:03:34.51
when you eat the
food and just everything,
00:03:34.54\00:03:36.44
you know, you have more energy
00:03:36.48\00:03:38.31
and everything's
just good, you know.
00:03:38.35\00:03:41.52
Well, you're a different person
00:03:41.55\00:03:42.88
than when we
first interviewed you.
00:03:42.92\00:03:44.25
Yeah. You got lot more energy.
00:03:44.29\00:03:46.76
Without a doubt,
you know, I was...
00:03:46.79\00:03:48.59
I'm out there walking
every day 10 to 11 miles.
00:03:48.62\00:03:52.26
Eleven miles a day? Yeah.
00:03:52.29\00:03:54.86
That's got to be
some sort of a record.
00:03:54.90\00:03:56.80
No, I don't think so but...
00:03:56.83\00:03:58.17
Yeah, yeah.
00:03:58.20\00:03:59.53
It's good.
00:03:59.57\00:04:00.90
That's awesome though, isn't it?
00:04:00.94\00:04:02.27
Yeah.
00:04:02.30\00:04:03.64
How much weight have you lost?
00:04:03.67\00:04:05.01
I lost 15 pounds.
00:04:05.04\00:04:06.37
Fifteen pounds.
00:04:06.41\00:04:07.74
Fifteen pounds and two
inches around the waist.
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.11
That's like one pound a day.
00:04:09.14\00:04:10.61
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
00:04:10.65\00:04:12.25
Yeah. That's awesome.
00:04:12.28\00:04:14.08
So it's been
awesome like, I mean
00:04:14.12\00:04:16.12
that was like one
of my biggest goals
00:04:16.15\00:04:17.82
was to lose weight and has
definitely happened you know.
00:04:17.85\00:04:20.49
Well, you know
that's just the beginning.
00:04:20.52\00:04:22.32
No, yeah, yeah.
00:04:22.36\00:04:23.69
And you're gonna
continue on, right?
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.59
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:04:25.63\00:04:27.53
What about the medication?
00:04:27.56\00:04:29.06
We talked a little
bit about medication
00:04:29.10\00:04:31.20
before we started the interview.
00:04:31.23\00:04:34.04
Tell us what medications
you're on when you got here?
00:04:34.07\00:04:36.91
I was on metformin for diabetes,
00:04:36.94\00:04:39.81
and then for blood pressure
I was on four different kinds,
00:04:39.84\00:04:43.11
losartan,
amlodipine, carvedilol and...
00:04:43.14\00:04:48.88
There was one
more I can't remember
00:04:48.92\00:04:50.25
what's the name of it was...
00:04:50.29\00:04:52.09
You know, you don't
want to remember it.
00:04:52.12\00:04:53.46
Yeah, yeah. Off of
them all completely.
00:04:53.49\00:04:55.76
You're off all of
them. Everything, yeah.
00:04:55.79\00:04:57.53
So, what's your
blood pressure now?
00:04:57.56\00:05:00.23
The bottom number
is still little high
00:05:00.26\00:05:02.93
but on the average
00:05:02.96\00:05:04.30
I get anywhere
from like 140 to 130
00:05:04.33\00:05:07.64
over like 80 to 90 some.
00:05:07.67\00:05:09.60
Okay.
00:05:09.64\00:05:10.97
Which, and the doctor said,
00:05:11.01\00:05:12.34
the bottom number
will continue to come down
00:05:12.37\00:05:13.71
as the weight comes off.
00:05:13.74\00:05:15.08
Sure, sure.
00:05:15.11\00:05:16.44
So what I mean,
00:05:16.48\00:05:17.81
I was getting higher numbers
than that on the medication
00:05:17.85\00:05:19.61
without the diet you know,
so no complaints like I said.
00:05:19.65\00:05:23.89
And the diabetes, that's gone.
00:05:23.92\00:05:26.65
It's not completely gone
00:05:26.69\00:05:28.02
but the sugars
have definitely dropped.
00:05:28.06\00:05:29.52
There's a...
00:05:29.56\00:05:31.09
from my fasting
sugar the first time
00:05:31.13\00:05:32.89
we had blood work
to the fasting sugar
00:05:32.93\00:05:35.33
two weeks later
dropped 100 points.
00:05:35.36\00:05:37.40
Wow.
00:05:37.43\00:05:38.77
So yeah, I mean that's
results in two weeks, you know.
00:05:38.80\00:05:42.64
So your overall
experience here has been...
00:05:42.67\00:05:46.71
Nothing but
positive. Nothing but positive.
00:05:46.74\00:05:48.71
Yep.
00:05:48.74\00:05:50.08
You know, I hear
that from so many people.
00:05:50.11\00:05:54.12
But what did you like
most about the program?
00:05:54.15\00:05:58.85
You know everything was good.
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.32
The camaraderie
between the classmates
00:06:00.36\00:06:02.22
is one of the things
that was really good.
00:06:02.26\00:06:03.59
You know everybody comes
from a different background
00:06:03.63\00:06:05.49
and everything or you know...
00:06:05.53\00:06:08.33
We're all here for
kind of the same reasons,
00:06:08.36\00:06:10.63
but, you know, people
have certain other stuff
00:06:10.67\00:06:12.63
but, you know, the
cooking class was excellent.
00:06:12.67\00:06:15.57
No complaints.
There's fun to be in there.
00:06:15.60\00:06:18.17
You learn how to
make all this great stuff.
00:06:18.21\00:06:20.48
You know what you're
going to continue doing at home
00:06:20.51\00:06:22.64
so, you know, and the
lectures are awesome too
00:06:22.68\00:06:26.51
like the doctors here are great.
00:06:26.55\00:06:27.88
I mean they're not like
normal doctors, you know,
00:06:27.92\00:06:30.22
most doctors want to treat
the symptoms not the cause.
00:06:30.25\00:06:32.85
We don't want to...
00:06:32.89\00:06:34.22
We don't want them to hear that.
00:06:34.26\00:06:36.12
If we tell them
they're not normal.
00:06:36.16\00:06:38.16
Now I know what you mean,
00:06:38.19\00:06:40.26
we got a group of great doctors.
00:06:40.30\00:06:42.50
Yeah, I had Dr. Lukens
00:06:42.53\00:06:43.87
and he's an incredible bold guy.
00:06:43.90\00:06:45.73
Yeah, we're going to
interview him right after this.
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.17
Okay.
00:06:48.20\00:06:49.54
And talk about you.
00:06:49.57\00:06:50.91
All right.
00:06:50.94\00:06:52.27
But it's all good, you know.
00:06:52.31\00:06:53.64
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
00:06:53.68\00:06:55.01
So now, do you feel any,
00:06:55.04\00:06:58.51
any anxiety about leaving?
00:06:58.55\00:07:02.38
No. Not really.
00:07:02.42\00:07:04.02
So you can...
00:07:04.05\00:07:05.39
I'm ready to go home.
00:07:05.42\00:07:06.76
You can do this
when you get home.
00:07:06.79\00:07:08.12
Yeah.
00:07:08.16\00:07:09.49
Like I said, it would
just be a matter of, you know,
00:07:09.52\00:07:10.86
learning how to
incorporate into the lifestyle
00:07:10.89\00:07:13.76
what having a work
and everything else,
00:07:13.80\00:07:15.76
you know, because here
00:07:15.80\00:07:17.27
you basically
having people wait on you
00:07:17.30\00:07:18.83
almost, you know, like every,
00:07:18.87\00:07:20.20
all the food is fix
for you and everything.
00:07:20.24\00:07:21.80
But I mean, it's
definitely a doable thing.
00:07:21.84\00:07:23.44
It's not like
something that's hard.
00:07:23.47\00:07:25.34
You just gonna have to devote
a little bit effort to it,
00:07:25.37\00:07:27.28
and I mean the results
00:07:27.31\00:07:28.64
are definitely
worth it, you know, so...
00:07:28.68\00:07:30.38
I know.
00:07:30.41\00:07:31.75
Yeah, I mean you've
been through it yourself.
00:07:31.78\00:07:34.05
Now what's your
favorite part of the program?
00:07:34.08\00:07:38.85
Probably the exercising,
like I like to get out and go.
00:07:38.89\00:07:41.79
Really? Yeah.
00:07:41.82\00:07:43.16
I mean I was pretty, pretty
mobile before I came here.
00:07:43.19\00:07:45.96
You know, I
didn't have a problem
00:07:45.99\00:07:47.33
playing sports and all that,
00:07:47.36\00:07:48.70
but the fact is just walking,
you know, you don't have to,
00:07:48.73\00:07:52.23
it's like run to elevate
00:07:52.27\00:07:53.60
your heart rate
a ton and all that,
00:07:53.64\00:07:55.44
and you know the
weight comes off so...
00:07:55.47\00:07:58.44
But like I said,
the whole program
00:07:58.47\00:08:00.14
has been a positive experience,
00:08:00.18\00:08:01.58
I mean nothing has been bad.
00:08:01.61\00:08:03.45
What do you
think of the car wash?
00:08:03.48\00:08:06.25
Oh, yeah.
00:08:06.28\00:08:08.78
That wasn't bad.
00:08:08.82\00:08:10.15
I actually like
the tanks better.
00:08:10.19\00:08:11.52
You like the tanks.
00:08:11.55\00:08:12.89
Yeah. That's submersible on ice.
00:08:12.92\00:08:14.26
Yeah, where you
get down in there.
00:08:14.29\00:08:15.62
Yeah. Really?
00:08:15.66\00:08:16.99
Yeah.
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.36
I actually like that better
00:08:18.39\00:08:19.73
because you know it's a
little colder and hotter
00:08:19.76\00:08:22.00
because you're actually
submerged in the water but...
00:08:22.03\00:08:25.03
You find it funny
because your body starts
00:08:25.07\00:08:26.74
craving the cold
after a while so...
00:08:26.77\00:08:28.80
Wow.
00:08:28.84\00:08:30.17
I had it this morning
in fact and it was great.
00:08:30.21\00:08:32.21
Now tell our viewers
00:08:32.24\00:08:33.68
what it is we're talking
about because they don't know.
00:08:33.71\00:08:36.14
The hydrotherapy sessions,
00:08:36.18\00:08:38.38
you do alternating
hot and cold treatment.
00:08:38.41\00:08:41.05
You always
finish with cold, but...
00:08:41.08\00:08:43.59
It's submerged in hot water.
00:08:43.62\00:08:45.29
Yeah, you submerged in hot water
00:08:45.32\00:08:46.65
for about three minutes,
00:08:46.69\00:08:48.02
and there's like a jet
that circulates and stuff
00:08:48.06\00:08:51.33
and then after three minutes
00:08:51.36\00:08:52.86
you switch to the cold
water for like a minute.
00:08:52.89\00:08:55.13
One minute. Yeah.
00:08:55.16\00:08:56.50
And you sit in there
and I'll be honest with you,
00:08:56.53\00:08:58.10
the first time you go,
00:08:58.13\00:08:59.47
it's a little bit
shock to the system,
00:08:59.50\00:09:01.10
but the longer
you go back and forth,
00:09:01.14\00:09:03.57
the easier the colder gets.
00:09:03.61\00:09:05.04
And like I said, your
body actually almost craves it.
00:09:05.07\00:09:07.41
I've done it.
00:09:07.44\00:09:08.78
You come out of
there feeling so energized.
00:09:08.81\00:09:10.68
You know then you
get a massage after that
00:09:10.71\00:09:12.91
which makes it
even better but...
00:09:12.95\00:09:14.28
Well, you're pretty
energized right now.
00:09:14.32\00:09:16.52
Yeah. I feel good, so...
00:09:16.55\00:09:19.05
That's awesome.
00:09:19.09\00:09:20.42
Yep. when you'll go home.
00:09:20.46\00:09:21.79
I leave tomorrow. Do you?
00:09:21.82\00:09:23.16
Yeah.
00:09:23.19\00:09:24.53
You're gonna fly
back to Florida...
00:09:24.56\00:09:25.89
Yep. And who is waiting at home?
00:09:25.93\00:09:27.43
My brother. Your brother?
00:09:27.46\00:09:28.80
Yeah.
00:09:28.83\00:09:30.17
Is he excited? Did
you talk to him about it?
00:09:30.20\00:09:31.60
Yeah, I'll talk to him every day
00:09:31.63\00:09:33.17
and he's actually interested
00:09:33.20\00:09:35.00
in incorporating
some of the same stuff
00:09:35.04\00:09:37.37
in his lifestyle
and everything, so...
00:09:37.41\00:09:39.07
How about your mom?
Have you talked to her?
00:09:39.11\00:09:40.78
Yeah, in fact she's about
an hour away from here now.
00:09:40.81\00:09:44.48
She'll be here in about an hour.
00:09:44.51\00:09:46.01
Oh good. I want to meet her.
00:09:46.05\00:09:47.92
Yeah, her and my
uncle are coming.
00:09:47.95\00:09:49.65
She and I've
talked. Yeah. She told me.
00:09:49.68\00:09:51.99
Good.
00:09:52.02\00:09:53.36
So...
00:09:53.39\00:09:54.72
So what words of encouragement
00:09:54.76\00:09:57.96
can you give our
viewers about coming here?
00:09:57.99\00:10:04.40
I would say, you know,
definitely give it a shot.
00:10:04.43\00:10:07.07
It's definitely worth it.
00:10:07.10\00:10:09.00
The one thing I'll say is just
commit yourself totally to it
00:10:09.04\00:10:12.51
for the 18 days
you're here you know.
00:10:12.54\00:10:15.54
I had this quote, it's always
been like a favorite of mine
00:10:15.58\00:10:17.91
it says, "To give
anything less than your best,
00:10:17.95\00:10:20.42
is to sacrifice the gift."
00:10:20.45\00:10:22.58
And so I kind of went by
that while I was here, you know.
00:10:22.62\00:10:25.02
I just wanted to
dedicate myself completely
00:10:25.05\00:10:27.26
to it for the 18 days.
00:10:27.29\00:10:29.19
And see what I got result wise,
00:10:29.22\00:10:31.29
and like I said, it's
been nothing but positive.
00:10:31.33\00:10:33.93
So I would just say...
00:10:33.96\00:10:35.86
I'm detecting a little emotion.
Yeah, it's a little bit.
00:10:35.90\00:10:38.47
I mean it's...
00:10:38.50\00:10:39.83
Is that from the
core you just did?
00:10:39.87\00:10:41.34
That and just, you know,
00:10:41.37\00:10:43.24
for like some of the
stuff for me like weight
00:10:43.27\00:10:45.41
it's been a
lifelong struggle for me.
00:10:45.44\00:10:48.11
You know, I've always been a
bigger kid and even grown up,
00:10:48.14\00:10:51.78
you know, I always
had a little extra weight.
00:10:51.81\00:10:54.62
You know I've
lost it here and there
00:10:54.65\00:10:56.12
but it's always
come right back on,
00:10:56.15\00:10:57.99
you know, eventually, so...
00:10:58.02\00:10:59.79
But now you feel you got it.
00:10:59.82\00:11:01.19
Now, I see the light
at the end of the tunnel
00:11:01.22\00:11:02.72
and I think
it's there, you know.
00:11:02.76\00:11:04.09
That's awesome.
00:11:04.13\00:11:05.46
And Lord willing and I'm
sure will help, you know.
00:11:05.49\00:11:07.86
The Lord's willing.
00:11:07.90\00:11:09.23
No, that's why I said, I'm
sure he will help with it, so,
00:11:09.26\00:11:12.60
you know...
00:11:12.63\00:11:13.97
Will be prodding
you all long. Yeah.
00:11:14.00\00:11:16.37
Nothing but positive.
00:11:16.40\00:11:17.74
Lord speaking in
your ear. Yeah, yeah.
00:11:17.77\00:11:19.44
Are you sure you
wanted to do that?
00:11:19.47\00:11:21.61
So...
00:11:21.64\00:11:22.98
Well, I'm so happy for you.
00:11:23.01\00:11:24.98
No complaints. Yeah.
00:11:25.01\00:11:26.41
You know, and I want to
just take a moment to thank you
00:11:26.45\00:11:29.55
for being
willing to come and share
00:11:29.58\00:11:32.09
because your story
someone's viewing you,
00:11:32.12\00:11:35.42
somewhere in the world right now
00:11:35.46\00:11:37.49
and they're going,
"Wow, he did it, I can do it."
00:11:37.53\00:11:41.66
Anybody that has an
opportunity to try, they should.
00:11:41.70\00:11:43.43
All right, brother.
00:11:43.47\00:11:44.80
It will make a
life changer for him.
00:11:44.83\00:11:46.17
Thank you so much. Thank you.
00:11:46.20\00:11:47.54
And thank you, friends.
00:11:47.57\00:11:48.90
Don't go away because
Dr. Lukens is up next.
00:11:48.94\00:11:52.67
Welcome back,
friends, and as I promised
00:12:25.61\00:12:28.04
Dr Lukens in the house.
00:12:28.08\00:12:29.94
Okay, they tell us
that's' a, that's a newest way.
00:12:29.98\00:12:32.25
Yeah, I forgot it...
00:12:32.28\00:12:33.62
I know as the kids are
doing that all the time.
00:12:33.65\00:12:35.35
Yeah. What does it mean?
00:12:35.38\00:12:36.72
But we are not kids. No, no.
00:12:36.75\00:12:38.09
Probably we act like
kids. We act like kids.
00:12:38.12\00:12:41.42
So we're gonna
talk about Damian.
00:12:41.46\00:12:44.66
Yes.
00:12:44.69\00:12:46.03
And you've been his
doctor now for two weeks.
00:12:46.06\00:12:47.96
Yep.
00:12:48.00\00:12:49.33
And we've seen
some tremendous results.
00:12:49.36\00:12:52.80
You know, I've
heard a lot of things
00:12:52.83\00:12:54.50
but I want to
hear from the doctor
00:12:54.54\00:12:56.84
exactly some of the
changes that you know
00:12:56.87\00:13:01.04
maybe the viewers can
realize if they too were to come
00:13:01.08\00:13:06.58
such as
triglycerides or diabetes
00:13:06.61\00:13:10.75
or high blood pressure.
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.62
How's he doing?
00:13:12.65\00:13:14.06
Well, you know according
00:13:14.09\00:13:15.42
to Dr John
McDougall and some people
00:13:15.46\00:13:17.23
that are watching this
probably have heard of him
00:13:17.26\00:13:20.06
and he believes that
00:13:20.10\00:13:21.93
95 percent of all Type
2 diabetics should be able
00:13:21.96\00:13:25.37
to get off their medications.
00:13:25.40\00:13:28.64
Turn their, their disease around
00:13:28.67\00:13:32.07
and not be diabetic anymore,
00:13:32.11\00:13:33.58
so I'm talking to
somebody that's been promoting
00:13:33.61\00:13:37.18
this for 35, 40 years.
00:13:37.21\00:13:40.15
But I think that he is right.
00:13:40.18\00:13:41.88
And we're in the process
right now of gathering people.
00:13:41.92\00:13:44.99
We want them if we
can to be on insulin
00:13:45.02\00:13:49.06
to have kidney failure
and to see what we can do.
00:13:49.09\00:13:52.13
We want to get 50 to 70 of
these and see what happens.
00:13:52.16\00:13:57.73
Well, we'll take
all the diabetics
00:13:57.77\00:13:59.57
that are willing to come
00:13:59.60\00:14:01.27
especially when
they're on insulin.
00:14:01.30\00:14:02.64
But you're on
kidney disease too.
00:14:02.67\00:14:04.87
Yeah, well, I mean
that's a, that's a real big,
00:14:04.91\00:14:08.08
big thing because we
were just talking about this
00:14:08.11\00:14:10.61
before we came on
00:14:10.65\00:14:13.18
and about the
guy that is waiting
00:14:13.21\00:14:16.02
for a kidney transplant.
00:14:16.05\00:14:17.49
Here's the deal on that.
00:14:17.52\00:14:19.95
You will only be
able to get a kidney now
00:14:19.99\00:14:22.29
if you have a
relative or a friend
00:14:22.32\00:14:24.76
that's willing
to donate a kidney,
00:14:24.79\00:14:27.16
then you will
probably get a kidney.
00:14:27.20\00:14:29.16
And then and very soon
00:14:29.20\00:14:31.20
they projected
that in, you know,
00:14:31.23\00:14:33.74
that they're going to be
two more million diabetics,
00:14:33.77\00:14:38.04
four more million diabetics
in a period of like 10 years
00:14:38.07\00:14:42.64
and then they reach
that mark within two years.
00:14:42.68\00:14:45.88
And they say we're not
going to have enough machines
00:14:45.91\00:14:49.25
to do dialysis on
all the people that...
00:14:49.28\00:14:51.62
It's an explosion of diabetes
that's a metabolic syndrome.
00:14:51.65\00:14:54.92
But coming back to Damian,
00:14:54.96\00:14:57.46
he has an uncle who is a doctor.
00:14:57.49\00:15:00.86
And his uncle and
he evidently have known
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.07
quite a bit about lifestyle.
00:15:04.10\00:15:07.70
So when he went in,
00:15:07.74\00:15:09.07
he actually found
out that he was diabetic.
00:15:09.10\00:15:12.61
He started doing
the, the exercise.
00:15:12.64\00:15:17.68
And he was doing
a lot of exercise
00:15:17.71\00:15:20.45
and then he
started changing his diet,
00:15:20.48\00:15:23.05
I said, "So what
kind of a dietary change
00:15:23.08\00:15:24.99
did you make?"
00:15:25.02\00:15:26.35
He said, "Well, you know,
00:15:26.39\00:15:27.72
what I'm usually doing instead
of eating a big meal at night,
00:15:27.76\00:15:31.66
I just eat salads or something."
00:15:31.69\00:15:33.60
I said, "Well, how that go?"
00:15:33.63\00:15:34.96
because you know
that was a good deal.
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.23
He said, "No" he
said, "I could keep my A1Cs
00:15:37.27\00:15:40.34
in a pretty good
range with that, you see...
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.27
His A1c was really high.
00:15:43.30\00:15:45.21
Well, no, no.
00:15:45.24\00:15:46.57
When he found out it was
high and then he would do this
00:15:46.61\00:15:51.05
and then his
A1Cs would come down
00:15:51.08\00:15:54.15
to a more acceptable level,
00:15:54.18\00:15:56.65
and then he
would gain more weight
00:15:56.69\00:15:58.65
than here and you know whatever.
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.52
I mean it's so
easy to gain weight.
00:16:00.56\00:16:03.19
You know especially
if you've been overweight
00:16:03.22\00:16:05.49
and trying to lose it,
00:16:05.53\00:16:06.86
here's a
sideline another side bar,
00:16:06.90\00:16:09.16
98 percent of all the free fat
00:16:09.20\00:16:11.87
that you eat that
comes from a bottle
00:16:11.90\00:16:13.74
goes back into your fat cells.
00:16:13.77\00:16:15.77
So you can't go on a diet
00:16:15.80\00:16:17.14
that's going to
be the end of diet.
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.91
Except what we do
here, people can lose weight
00:16:18.94\00:16:21.04
and keep it off.
00:16:21.08\00:16:22.41
So anyway coming
back to this other.
00:16:22.44\00:16:24.61
So he would do that
00:16:24.65\00:16:26.48
but then eventually
as he gained more weight,
00:16:26.51\00:16:29.78
he wasn't able
to exercise enough.
00:16:29.82\00:16:31.75
Here he is and now his
A1cs are going up again.
00:16:31.79\00:16:35.29
So the last time he
went into his doctor
00:16:35.32\00:16:38.03
his A1c is 10.
00:16:38.06\00:16:42.30
That means that his
blood sugar is always over.
00:16:42.33\00:16:46.90
You know, the
average blood sugar
00:16:46.94\00:16:48.47
is always over 200.
00:16:48.50\00:16:49.90
Yeah, that's not good.
00:16:49.94\00:16:51.67
Yeah, no, no,
that's, that's very bad.
00:16:51.71\00:16:54.64
And the other thing is that,
00:16:54.68\00:16:57.61
he was spilling three
plus sugar in the urine.
00:16:57.65\00:17:01.42
Now, when I checked
his urine I looked at it
00:17:01.45\00:17:03.49
and I thought he's on
one of those new medications
00:17:03.52\00:17:05.85
because I've seen this
a couple of times before.
00:17:05.89\00:17:08.69
They can give you a medicine,
00:17:08.72\00:17:10.56
they will dump all
your, not all your sugar
00:17:10.59\00:17:13.06
but it will dump your
sugar into your urine.
00:17:13.09\00:17:16.30
And then your
numbers are better,
00:17:16.33\00:17:18.23
your A1c is better.
00:17:18.27\00:17:19.87
We tried for 50 years
00:17:19.90\00:17:21.34
to keep the
sugar out of the urine
00:17:21.37\00:17:23.20
and now we've got a medication
00:17:23.24\00:17:25.17
that are
treating just the numbers.
00:17:25.21\00:17:27.28
It doesn't help your
diabetes. Not at all.
00:17:27.31\00:17:29.54
Now the other thing is,
is he didn't have insurance
00:17:29.58\00:17:33.28
and I think he's on the
Affordable Care Act now.
00:17:33.31\00:17:36.92
Some people call it Obamacare.
00:17:36.95\00:17:39.19
And so, anyway he would go in.
00:17:39.22\00:17:43.02
And I said so what,
when your A1c was 10,
00:17:43.06\00:17:46.46
what does your doctor tell you?
00:17:46.49\00:17:49.16
He says, "Well, you
know, diet, exercise,
00:17:49.20\00:17:52.00
you know, do these things.
00:17:52.03\00:17:53.37
Keep on with your
metformin and stuff like that."
00:17:53.40\00:17:56.81
That's the reason
why now people are going
00:17:56.84\00:17:58.67
to have to be in
charge of their own health.
00:17:58.71\00:18:02.04
Amen.
00:18:02.08\00:18:03.41
Because that's the
only way it can happen.
00:18:03.45\00:18:04.88
We don't have medical
dollars to treat the people
00:18:04.91\00:18:09.28
with all the medications
00:18:09.32\00:18:11.29
and then they need to get
to the root of the problem
00:18:11.32\00:18:13.92
and change their health around.
00:18:13.96\00:18:16.09
It's crazy what's
going on out there
00:18:16.12\00:18:18.19
as far as sickness and illness,
00:18:18.23\00:18:21.50
and I know that there's viewers
watching right now listening
00:18:21.53\00:18:25.37
because that's they're looking,
they're looking for a way out.
00:18:25.40\00:18:31.34
And I know that
our NEWSTART program
00:18:31.37\00:18:34.74
is a way out.
00:18:34.78\00:18:36.31
If you have
diabetes, if you're overweight,
00:18:36.34\00:18:39.38
if you have
cardiovascular disease,
00:18:39.41\00:18:41.58
if you got any kind of disease,
00:18:41.62\00:18:43.92
you should pick up that
phone and give us a call.
00:18:43.95\00:18:46.65
Call 800-525-9192.
00:18:46.69\00:18:51.36
Ask for me and we'll talk direct
00:18:51.39\00:18:54.03
and we'll do what
we can to help you.
00:18:54.06\00:18:56.63
You know a lot of
folks don't have the funds
00:18:56.67\00:19:00.04
and we do have a
scholarship fund here.
00:19:00.07\00:19:02.80
I know you know that.
00:19:02.84\00:19:05.81
There's never a
lot of money in it,
00:19:05.84\00:19:07.91
but sometimes it's
enough just to help people...
00:19:07.94\00:19:10.78
Get them in the program.
00:19:10.81\00:19:12.85
Yeah and they help them
with the program of course.
00:19:12.88\00:19:15.85
Now coming back to this other.
00:19:15.88\00:19:18.59
One of the, one of our patients
who came back on a restart
00:19:18.62\00:19:22.39
but he came with
his wife this time.
00:19:22.42\00:19:24.59
That's why I say that spouse
00:19:24.63\00:19:26.39
and they're so excited about it,
00:19:26.43\00:19:28.36
both of them now.
00:19:28.40\00:19:29.73
They understand it
00:19:29.76\00:19:31.10
but he is in medical insurance
00:19:31.13\00:19:33.97
working with
hospitals and here's the thing,
00:19:34.00\00:19:36.77
that's the
reason why I'm saying,
00:19:36.81\00:19:38.14
take care of your health.
00:19:38.17\00:19:40.54
He said that the
insurance companies
00:19:40.58\00:19:42.71
were all excited
you know about this
00:19:42.74\00:19:45.11
because all the government funds
00:19:45.15\00:19:46.75
that are going to flow into it,
00:19:46.78\00:19:49.38
he said, "There was
only one insurance company
00:19:49.42\00:19:52.79
in the area where
he is up in Oregon
00:19:52.82\00:19:55.79
that even broke even,
all the others lost money."
00:19:55.82\00:19:59.19
And he said that,
00:19:59.23\00:20:00.66
that the hospitals
were really excited about it
00:20:00.70\00:20:03.47
but now they're
seeing what's happening
00:20:03.50\00:20:05.27
and it's going to be a disaster.
00:20:05.30\00:20:08.20
So when you
don't need the doctors,
00:20:08.24\00:20:10.07
you don't need the medicine
00:20:10.11\00:20:11.71
and you don't need the hospital,
00:20:11.74\00:20:13.44
then you can take
charge of your own health.
00:20:13.48\00:20:16.44
Do this, it's a little
bit harder maybe at first,
00:20:16.48\00:20:20.05
but when you get
into it and you feel good
00:20:20.08\00:20:22.82
and you keep in touch with us,
00:20:22.85\00:20:24.72
and your spouse is on your side,
00:20:24.75\00:20:26.76
you can by God's help.
00:20:26.79\00:20:29.09
It's always with the
help of the Holy Spirit
00:20:29.12\00:20:32.56
to keep talking to our hearts
00:20:32.59\00:20:34.56
when we get off the track
00:20:34.60\00:20:36.23
where we can do this
and have a good life.
00:20:36.26\00:20:39.47
Now what about Damien?
00:20:39.50\00:20:41.50
What's the prognosis
here what is, what's...?
00:20:41.54\00:20:43.81
How do you feel as his doctor
00:20:43.84\00:20:46.31
him going back
out into the world?
00:20:46.34\00:20:48.48
Well, he's got the
metabolic syndrome.
00:20:48.51\00:20:51.38
And his triglycerides went
00:20:51.41\00:20:55.92
from 261 down to 161.
00:20:55.95\00:21:02.29
And so that's,
that's one of the things
00:21:02.32\00:21:04.53
that the metabolic syndrome
is the elevated triglycerides
00:21:04.56\00:21:07.23
while the HDL being low
as it is the way that is
00:21:07.26\00:21:11.43
but then he's
already understands
00:21:11.47\00:21:14.70
the diet and exercise.
00:21:14.74\00:21:16.07
These guys were
doing, they were competing,
00:21:16.10\00:21:19.57
they were about
three or four of them.
00:21:19.61\00:21:21.11
And they were going out
walking seven to ten miles.
00:21:21.14\00:21:24.31
Rick was one of them.
Didn't Rick go with them?
00:21:24.35\00:21:26.41
Yeah, all these guys, yeah.
00:21:26.45\00:21:28.18
And so they're
having amazing results
00:21:28.22\00:21:30.19
on their pulses,
00:21:30.22\00:21:31.95
and their blood pressures,
and their numbers, yeah.
00:21:31.99\00:21:34.36
This was a good group.
00:21:34.39\00:21:36.02
Yeah, that's a great group.
00:21:36.06\00:21:37.39
So as he knows this
and it's reconfirmed,
00:21:37.43\00:21:40.73
you know I expect
that his A1c is going
00:21:40.76\00:21:43.90
to come down to a
very acceptable level,
00:21:43.93\00:21:47.64
and as he stays
in touch with this,
00:21:47.67\00:21:49.30
we can continue to help him.
00:21:49.34\00:21:52.14
Doctor, we are out of
time. I want to thank you.
00:21:52.17\00:21:54.88
I know you're busy man.
00:21:54.91\00:21:56.91
And thank you for
coming and taking your time
00:21:56.95\00:21:59.41
and God bless
you in what you do.
00:21:59.45\00:22:01.45
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:01.48\00:22:02.82
For the last 26
years here at Weimar.
00:22:02.85\00:22:04.62
And thank you,
friends, for joining us,
00:22:04.65\00:22:06.62
but don't go away just
yet, we have a tip for you.
00:22:06.65\00:22:09.06
We're making a basic cream gravy
00:22:13.56\00:22:16.10
that is very versatile
00:22:16.13\00:22:17.73
and I believe is a
staple to a plant based diet.
00:22:17.77\00:22:20.74
And with this the
few simple ingredients
00:22:20.77\00:22:22.97
and a little bit
of time on the stove,
00:22:23.00\00:22:24.91
you'll have a gravy in no time.
00:22:24.94\00:22:26.47
So let's get started.
00:22:26.51\00:22:27.84
What we're going to be
using is the high speed blender
00:22:27.88\00:22:29.91
to just put all
of our ingredients
00:22:29.94\00:22:31.58
into our blender.
00:22:31.61\00:22:32.95
I'm going to be
using some water...
00:22:32.98\00:22:34.38
and our cashews which is
going to replace the cream
00:22:37.49\00:22:40.72
that you get in
traditional gravy.
00:22:40.76\00:22:43.16
And between the
water and the cashews,
00:22:43.19\00:22:44.83
you're going to really make
a nice milk or a heavy cream.
00:22:44.86\00:22:47.80
I'll be using some cornstarch.
00:22:47.83\00:22:49.60
I like to use organic cornstarch
00:22:49.63\00:22:51.20
when using this.
00:22:51.23\00:22:52.80
This is going to be
our thickening agent.
00:22:52.83\00:22:55.44
And I'll be using
some Bragg's liquid aminos.
00:22:55.47\00:22:59.17
And let's talk
about these liquid aminos.
00:22:59.21\00:23:01.74
So why do we use Bragg's?
00:23:01.78\00:23:03.18
Well number one,
it's not fermented.
00:23:03.21\00:23:05.48
Number two, it
doesn't have any gluten
00:23:05.51\00:23:08.52
and a lot of
people who can't do gluten
00:23:08.55\00:23:10.29
they can do soy sauce.
00:23:10.32\00:23:11.65
So this is a great alternative.
00:23:11.69\00:23:13.42
Another thing is
that in terms of sodium.
00:23:13.46\00:23:16.09
If you look at a basic
sodium real salt or sea salt,
00:23:16.12\00:23:19.76
one quarter
teaspoon is going to be about
00:23:19.79\00:23:21.76
530 milligrams here and there.
00:23:21.80\00:23:24.73
One half teaspoon so basically
we're doubling this amount
00:23:24.77\00:23:28.17
is 160 milligrams.
00:23:28.20\00:23:29.97
And what's cool
about this little bottle is
00:23:30.01\00:23:32.81
you can actually
spray this on your food
00:23:32.84\00:23:34.58
and in terms of sodium
it would be negligible.
00:23:34.61\00:23:36.91
So this is a great alternative
00:23:36.95\00:23:38.58
for those who can't
do a high sodium diet
00:23:38.61\00:23:41.08
which at NEWSTART we
don't use high sodium,
00:23:41.12\00:23:43.25
so this is good for those
00:23:43.28\00:23:44.62
on a very, very low sodium diet.
00:23:44.65\00:23:47.09
So again just to put
this in the perspective,
00:23:47.12\00:23:50.36
half a teaspoon of this would be
00:23:50.39\00:23:52.03
over 1000 milligrams of sodium
00:23:52.06\00:23:54.00
as opposed to
half a teaspoon of this
00:23:54.03\00:23:56.26
which is 160
milligrams of sodium.
00:23:56.30\00:23:58.93
There's a little
bit of food for thought,
00:23:58.97\00:24:00.30
some information that
will be helpful to you,
00:24:00.34\00:24:02.60
but let's go
ahead and blend this
00:24:02.64\00:24:03.97
until everything
is nice and creamy.
00:24:04.01\00:24:05.57
Okay, so just a little tip here.
00:24:26.26\00:24:28.06
If you wanted to
make this gravy fat free,
00:24:28.10\00:24:30.80
what you could do in place
of our cashews we'll just use,
00:24:30.83\00:24:33.60
be using some white
beans and that would give you
00:24:33.64\00:24:37.17
a fat free
version of this gravy.
00:24:37.21\00:24:38.81
And it's really delicious.
00:24:38.84\00:24:40.28
So you could do that as well,
but now what we're gonna do is
00:24:40.31\00:24:42.91
we're gonna heat
this up on the stove
00:24:42.94\00:24:46.68
over about a
medium high heat here.
00:24:46.72\00:24:48.62
Okay and what we're looking
for is for the cornstarch
00:24:54.16\00:24:57.39
to activate with the heat
00:24:57.43\00:24:59.16
and that will turn
this into a nice gravy base.
00:24:59.19\00:25:02.46
So I do want to spend a
little bit time here stirring.
00:25:02.50\00:25:04.77
I don't want it to stick.
00:25:04.80\00:25:06.23
So we definitely want to
baby sit this a little bit
00:25:06.27\00:25:08.84
but the great thing is
once you make this gravy,
00:25:08.87\00:25:11.41
you can put this
in the refrigerator
00:25:11.44\00:25:12.87
for about three to five
days and it will congeal,
00:25:12.91\00:25:15.94
and what you do is just
add more water reheat it
00:25:15.98\00:25:18.41
and it will make
your gravy thin again.
00:25:18.45\00:25:20.72
So it will thicken overtime
00:25:20.75\00:25:23.12
and of course
timing is everything,
00:25:23.15\00:25:25.02
but let's talk about
00:25:25.05\00:25:26.39
what you could
use this gravy with.
00:25:26.42\00:25:27.79
You can use it
as a base for soups.
00:25:27.82\00:25:29.79
You could actually put
this over your potatoes.
00:25:29.82\00:25:34.70
I like to use it
as over some toast
00:25:34.73\00:25:37.37
and I'll show you
what that looks like
00:25:37.40\00:25:38.73
when we're done here.
00:25:38.77\00:25:40.30
And over burgers
00:25:40.34\00:25:41.97
and sky is the
limit with this recipe.
00:25:42.00\00:25:44.27
And the nice thing is
00:25:44.31\00:25:45.67
you could actually freeze these.
00:25:45.71\00:25:47.64
You could put these in a,
you know, the ice cube trays.
00:25:47.68\00:25:52.71
Freeze them overnight
00:25:52.75\00:25:54.08
and then what you have is about
00:25:54.12\00:25:55.45
two tablespoons
of gravy thawed out,
00:25:55.48\00:25:57.99
heat it back up
00:25:58.02\00:25:59.35
and then keep
them in the freezer
00:25:59.39\00:26:00.72
so that as you need gravy,
00:26:00.76\00:26:02.09
you don't have to make
the gravy every single time.
00:26:02.12\00:26:03.93
So that's cool too.
00:26:03.96\00:26:05.43
So once it starts to bubble,
00:26:11.43\00:26:13.44
that activates the
cornstarch with the water,
00:26:13.47\00:26:15.74
and then you have
this beautiful thick gravy.
00:26:15.77\00:26:18.84
And I would just give it
00:26:18.87\00:26:20.94
maybe about 30
more seconds stirring
00:26:20.98\00:26:22.74
until you get
the desired thickness
00:26:22.78\00:26:24.58
but just be aware
that once it starts to cool
00:26:24.61\00:26:27.15
it will get kind of gloppy
00:26:27.18\00:26:28.98
and you do need to keep
it warm before you serve it.
00:26:29.02\00:26:31.52
So timing is everything.
00:26:31.55\00:26:32.89
Make it right away
just before you serve it,
00:26:32.92\00:26:35.56
and if you don't
that's okay, just reheat it
00:26:35.59\00:26:37.76
and make sure it's
hot before you serve it.
00:26:37.79\00:26:39.69
Okay, so let's just go ahead
and pour gravy over our toast
00:26:39.73\00:26:43.37
which is a
lovely breakfast idea,
00:26:43.40\00:26:46.80
and it's just really
great over biscuits too.
00:26:46.84\00:26:50.61
Rice, brown
rice is really lovely
00:26:50.64\00:26:53.04
and let's put a little
bit of some paprika on top
00:26:53.07\00:26:56.61
just to make it look pretty.
00:26:56.64\00:27:00.42
And there you go,
00:27:00.45\00:27:01.78
you have a
beautiful basic cream gravy.
00:27:01.82\00:27:04.09
