Every year in America,
00:00:12.07\00:00:13.41
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:13.44\00:00:14.78
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:14.81\00:00:17.51
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:17.55\00:00:20.02
That's 6.5 747s
crashing every day.
00:00:20.05\00:00:23.49
What's even more surprise?
00:00:23.52\00:00:25.12
Is that the fix is easy?
00:00:25.15\00:00:26.89
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:26.92\00:00:28.49
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually add
00:00:28.52\00:00:30.56
quality years to your life
00:00:30.59\00:00:31.93
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:31.96\00:00:34.66
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:00:34.70\00:00:36.53
of over a
million deaths per year.
00:00:36.56\00:00:38.90
Most diseases are reversible,
00:00:38.93\00:00:40.84
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:40.87\00:00:43.91
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:43.94\00:00:47.48
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:47.51\00:00:49.68
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:01:07.13\00:01:10.20
Hi, folks, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:13.70\00:01:16.30
of NEWSTART NOW.
00:01:16.34\00:01:17.71
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:17.74\00:01:20.78
In our studios today,
00:01:20.81\00:01:22.28
we have a gentleman by
the name of Pat O'Brian.
00:01:22.31\00:01:25.98
Yes, The Pat O'Brian.
00:01:26.01\00:01:28.12
And let's take a look
at when Pat first arrived.
00:01:28.15\00:01:30.99
I was watching 3ABN,
00:01:33.89\00:01:35.92
and I've seen a new approach
00:01:35.96\00:01:39.83
to medical help.
00:01:39.86\00:01:42.20
I've been going to
the doctor, doctors,
00:01:42.23\00:01:45.83
and they were giving me medicine
00:01:45.87\00:01:49.47
but not really
treating the problem.
00:01:49.50\00:01:52.44
So when I saw
00:01:52.47\00:01:55.38
the NEWSTART program,
00:01:55.41\00:01:58.28
I thought, "Wow!
This really makes sense."
00:01:58.31\00:02:02.05
So basically,
00:02:02.08\00:02:05.05
I saw it helping
from the top of your head
00:02:05.09\00:02:08.06
to the bottom of your feet,
00:02:08.09\00:02:10.53
not just medical but spiritual.
00:02:10.56\00:02:13.80
And medical of course,
in a new way of doing it.
00:02:13.83\00:02:18.37
Last March, I had a
tumor in my colon removed
00:02:18.40\00:02:23.51
and I had some complications.
00:02:23.54\00:02:26.17
So I most likely would,
00:02:26.21\00:02:28.64
the most that I'd
really like to have
00:02:28.68\00:02:30.81
is to be clean of the cancer.
00:02:30.85\00:02:35.15
But I'm really excited
about the spiritual aspect,
00:02:35.18\00:02:40.19
where the people pray for you.
00:02:40.22\00:02:43.26
And so it's...
00:02:43.29\00:02:46.80
It's a combination really,
00:02:46.83\00:02:48.86
it's a complete
healing of body, mind and soul,
00:02:48.90\00:02:52.43
more than just
treating one aspect of it.
00:02:52.47\00:02:57.01
And with the good Lord helping,
I'm expecting great things.
00:02:57.04\00:03:01.88
So I wanted to address
the cost of all my medicines,
00:03:01.91\00:03:06.28
and I take a lot of medicines.
00:03:06.31\00:03:08.35
And for whatever reason,
00:03:08.38\00:03:12.49
they just keep
jumping and jumping.
00:03:12.52\00:03:15.26
I had one that was
$10, and then it was $20,
00:03:15.29\00:03:19.53
then it was
$50, now it's a $110.
00:03:19.56\00:03:22.63
This is just in the last year.
00:03:22.66\00:03:25.57
So not only did I want
to get rid of the medicine,
00:03:25.60\00:03:29.30
'cause I'd rather
my body fights for me,
00:03:29.34\00:03:34.01
but the cost is
really becoming a problem.
00:03:34.04\00:03:39.81
Welcome back, friends.
00:03:39.85\00:03:41.18
And in our studio,
Pat, how are you, sir?
00:03:41.22\00:03:44.05
Great. You look great.
00:03:44.09\00:03:46.59
Thank you.
00:03:46.62\00:03:47.96
And I want to get
right to the mid of the steel
00:03:47.99\00:03:50.63
or excuse me, the
versible of the steel.
00:03:50.66\00:03:54.53
How are you feeling?
00:03:54.56\00:03:56.67
I'm feeling mighty good.
00:03:56.70\00:03:58.33
Mighty good? Yes.
00:03:58.37\00:03:59.77
Any big changes
that you noticed?
00:03:59.80\00:04:01.80
Yes. What are they?
00:04:01.84\00:04:04.37
Well, I lost 19 pounds.
00:04:04.41\00:04:06.61
Wow. Where did you lose it from?
00:04:06.64\00:04:08.81
Everywhere.
00:04:08.84\00:04:10.18
I lost it from my legs,
00:04:10.21\00:04:12.35
I lost it from
my stomach, my face.
00:04:12.38\00:04:14.72
Good.
00:04:14.75\00:04:16.22
You do look
different. Thank you.
00:04:16.25\00:04:18.35
And aside from the weight loss,
00:04:18.39\00:04:21.86
did you get off any medications
that you like to share?
00:04:21.89\00:04:25.49
Yeah, my doctor said he...
00:04:25.53\00:04:28.40
There was a 95%
chance he could treat me
00:04:28.43\00:04:31.83
but you'd never be able
to cure me of my diabetic.
00:04:31.87\00:04:37.51
And three days after I was here,
00:04:37.54\00:04:40.04
I was off my medication.
00:04:40.08\00:04:44.55
Oh, wait a
minute, you talking about
00:04:44.58\00:04:45.91
your doctor at home, right?
00:04:45.95\00:04:47.35
Yes. Or the doctor here?
00:04:47.38\00:04:49.62
Yeah, the doctor here said,
"You can drop all those now."
00:04:49.65\00:04:55.52
What do you
attribute that to, Pat?
00:04:55.56\00:04:57.36
I mean, three days. Three days.
00:04:57.39\00:05:00.93
I think it's your system,
00:05:00.96\00:05:04.47
and it's the
fruits and vegetables,
00:05:04.50\00:05:07.10
and the walking...
00:05:07.14\00:05:08.47
Yes. And the water.
00:05:08.50\00:05:09.84
Yes. It's all a combination.
00:05:09.87\00:05:11.77
And, Pat, by the way, it
was three days for me too.
00:05:11.81\00:05:15.08
Wow. Yeah.
00:05:15.11\00:05:16.95
You were a good-sized boy too.
00:05:16.98\00:05:18.68
Yeah, I was a
little larger than you.
00:05:18.71\00:05:20.22
Yeah.
00:05:20.25\00:05:21.58
But it was three days,
00:05:21.62\00:05:22.95
that seems to be a magic number.
00:05:22.98\00:05:24.35
Yeah.
00:05:24.39\00:05:25.72
So what else,
00:05:25.75\00:05:28.22
you were sharing
before the program began
00:05:28.26\00:05:31.06
about something that
you were saying that,
00:05:31.09\00:05:34.10
you weren't
saying so clearly before.
00:05:34.13\00:05:36.97
Yeah, well, this is
another huge benefit.
00:05:37.00\00:05:42.07
When I would do
my Bible reading,
00:05:42.10\00:05:44.47
there was like
some sort of a cloud
00:05:44.51\00:05:47.38
and I'd have to
read two, three times
00:05:47.41\00:05:49.98
and I could finally get
it, but with a lot of effort.
00:05:50.01\00:05:54.68
I was reading just a
couple of days ago Ellen White,
00:05:54.72\00:05:57.75
one of her books.
00:05:57.79\00:05:59.12
And it was just like
when I was first saved,
00:05:59.15\00:06:03.22
30 some years ago.
00:06:03.26\00:06:05.16
It was clear and
anointed and that's a huge,
00:06:05.19\00:06:10.93
maybe the hugest
benefit I've received.
00:06:10.97\00:06:13.13
Wow. Since I've been here.
00:06:13.17\00:06:15.07
So like the brain
fog, just kind of lifted.
00:06:15.10\00:06:18.57
Yes. That's not unusual.
00:06:18.61\00:06:20.98
As I shared earlier, it
happened for me as well.
00:06:21.01\00:06:24.71
And I've had a lot
of reports from guests
00:06:24.75\00:06:27.52
that we've
interviewed in the past
00:06:27.55\00:06:29.45
that they seem to
think more clearly.
00:06:29.48\00:06:32.12
Yeah.
00:06:32.15\00:06:33.49
And it's really, I enjoy it,
00:06:33.52\00:06:37.23
'cause it happens in steps like.
00:06:37.26\00:06:39.59
Yeah. Like
peeling away that onion.
00:06:39.63\00:06:41.53
Yeah.
00:06:41.56\00:06:42.90
So what did you like
most about the program?
00:06:42.93\00:06:46.87
Well, all the
people are excellent.
00:06:46.90\00:06:51.07
Everybody,
00:06:51.11\00:06:53.07
from the cleaning
lady to the doctors.
00:06:53.11\00:06:55.28
I mean it.
00:06:55.31\00:06:56.64
It's just a pleasure to be here.
00:06:56.68\00:06:58.08
Yeah.
00:06:58.11\00:06:59.45
And my room was fabulous.
00:06:59.48\00:07:01.55
Yeah.
00:07:01.58\00:07:02.92
I don't know how I
got such a nice room,
00:07:02.95\00:07:04.55
but I'm very happy with it.
00:07:04.59\00:07:07.79
And the food is good.
00:07:07.82\00:07:09.82
I didn't think I'd
care first, lot of it.
00:07:09.86\00:07:13.16
It's amazingly good.
00:07:13.19\00:07:15.43
So...
00:07:15.46\00:07:18.10
The hydrotherapy,
00:07:18.13\00:07:21.27
it's so
invigorating and helpful.
00:07:21.30\00:07:25.64
You mean, the car wash.
00:07:25.67\00:07:27.01
Yeah, the car
wash, the cotton cold.
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.71
Sixteen nozzles shoot
water at you at the same time.
00:07:29.74\00:07:33.68
Yeah.
00:07:33.72\00:07:35.05
You know, I enjoy
one in a regular shower.
00:07:35.08\00:07:36.42
Yeah.
00:07:36.45\00:07:37.79
But sixteen, absolutely awesome.
00:07:37.82\00:07:40.49
In the 40 some degree
difference in the temperature.
00:07:40.52\00:07:44.03
Man, all that
blood is pumping up.
00:07:44.06\00:07:47.60
Yes.
00:07:47.63\00:07:48.96
And clearing your head and...
00:07:49.00\00:07:50.77
Builds the immune system.
00:07:50.80\00:07:52.50
Clearing you out. Yeah.
00:07:52.53\00:07:54.40
And I did have quite a
bit of swelling in my legs.
00:07:54.44\00:07:58.07
But that's gone?
00:07:58.11\00:07:59.44
And that's gone. I
mean, it's amazing.
00:07:59.47\00:08:02.84
That's part of that
19 pounds, I'm sure.
00:08:02.88\00:08:05.45
Oh, yeah.
00:08:05.48\00:08:06.82
But it's just,
proteins are down,
00:08:06.85\00:08:11.65
I mean, in my kidneys
00:08:11.69\00:08:13.89
and all my statistics
00:08:13.92\00:08:16.83
are probably better
than I would have hoped for.
00:08:16.86\00:08:21.86
Awesome. So it's a great place.
00:08:21.90\00:08:24.67
Now, you, of course, walked.
00:08:24.70\00:08:28.04
Were you able to walk
when you first got here?
00:08:28.07\00:08:31.11
Could you walk?
00:08:31.14\00:08:32.47
I probably could walk
00:08:32.51\00:08:35.78
quarter of a mile.
00:08:35.81\00:08:37.21
Could you? Yeah.
00:08:37.25\00:08:38.75
And what about now?
00:08:38.78\00:08:40.85
How many miles a
day are you walking?
00:08:40.88\00:08:42.88
Or are you
walking miles per day?
00:08:42.92\00:08:45.09
Yeah, I'm up to...
00:08:45.12\00:08:46.72
I'm over two miles.
00:08:46.76\00:08:48.42
Over two miles?
00:08:48.46\00:08:49.79
Yeah, which is really...
00:08:49.82\00:08:53.03
Some people walk in more,
00:08:53.06\00:08:54.56
but you got to go
by where you started.
00:08:54.60\00:08:57.63
That's right.
00:08:57.67\00:08:59.00
So and this isn't
just easy walking,
00:08:59.03\00:09:02.30
there is some
big heels out there.
00:09:02.34\00:09:05.54
Can I come to the water tower?
00:09:05.57\00:09:07.21
Oh, that's a kill.
00:09:07.24\00:09:08.58
Cardiac hill.
00:09:08.61\00:09:09.94
Yeah, and coming back
to, you got to remember,
00:09:09.98\00:09:11.78
you got to come back.
00:09:11.81\00:09:13.15
I tried, I tried.
00:09:13.18\00:09:14.52
So now, it's a good
stress for a good walk.
00:09:14.55\00:09:17.85
Now could you tell us
00:09:17.89\00:09:19.35
why you were not
walking very well?
00:09:19.39\00:09:23.83
Well, I've been through a
lot of medical procedures.
00:09:23.86\00:09:27.40
Like?
00:09:27.43\00:09:28.76
I had a tumor
removed in my colon.
00:09:28.80\00:09:31.57
Okay. Last March.
00:09:31.60\00:09:33.20
Okay.
00:09:33.23\00:09:34.57
And then I had
other complications.
00:09:34.60\00:09:37.14
I ended up having a
stent put in my heart,
00:09:37.17\00:09:39.77
at back of my heart.
00:09:39.81\00:09:41.14
Is your heart okay?
00:09:41.18\00:09:42.51
It's okay now. Okay.
00:09:42.54\00:09:43.95
My blood pressure's
very good, 131/63 today.
00:09:43.98\00:09:49.68
I mean, that's good.
00:09:49.72\00:09:51.05
That is good. With
lot of medications.
00:09:51.09\00:09:52.55
Wow.
00:09:52.59\00:09:53.92
So, I mean,
00:09:53.96\00:09:57.63
I asked the Lord for a miracle
and I believe I've got it.
00:09:57.66\00:10:01.83
He does answer
prayers, doesn't he?
00:10:01.86\00:10:03.73
Mm-hm.
00:10:03.77\00:10:05.10
Well, I'm happy for it
00:10:05.13\00:10:06.47
but I got to ask you
a few more questions.
00:10:06.50\00:10:09.24
Did you make any
new acquaintances
00:10:09.27\00:10:12.31
that you didn't know
prior to your arrival?
00:10:12.34\00:10:14.81
Yeah, 18.
00:10:14.84\00:10:16.38
Eighteen? Eighteen of us.
00:10:16.41\00:10:18.61
Really? Really.
00:10:18.65\00:10:20.72
I assure over 20.
00:10:20.75\00:10:22.45
Was it 20? Yeah,
there were 20 or 21.
00:10:22.48\00:10:25.75
Okay. And two
had to leave early.
00:10:25.79\00:10:28.06
Yeah.
00:10:28.09\00:10:29.42
And so you've
made new friends. Yes.
00:10:29.46\00:10:31.89
And have you had any agreements
00:10:31.93\00:10:33.63
that you're going to stay
in contact with one another?
00:10:33.66\00:10:35.60
Yeah, we are.
00:10:35.63\00:10:37.03
I made some very close friends.
00:10:37.07\00:10:39.53
Ain't that amazing?
00:10:39.57\00:10:40.90
And every...
00:10:40.94\00:10:42.50
They're just as nice.
00:10:42.54\00:10:44.24
I mean, we're
helping each other.
00:10:44.27\00:10:47.01
It's funny how
you're helping somebody
00:10:47.04\00:10:48.88
and you don't know
and they're helping you
00:10:48.91\00:10:50.68
and really they don't know.
00:10:50.71\00:10:52.58
But that's a big
part of the program.
00:10:52.61\00:10:55.42
You know, I try to share that
with people before they come,
00:10:55.45\00:10:59.15
like, you're going
to make new friends,
00:10:59.19\00:11:00.96
you're actually
going to fall in love
00:11:00.99\00:11:03.09
with new friends and staff
00:11:03.12\00:11:05.23
and everybody's
so kind and loving
00:11:05.26\00:11:07.86
and, you know,
it just amazed me.
00:11:07.90\00:11:12.13
And I'm so happy they hear
00:11:12.17\00:11:14.14
that other people
are getting that as well.
00:11:14.17\00:11:17.51
So what's the prognosis?
00:11:17.54\00:11:19.31
What you are going to
do when you go to home?
00:11:19.34\00:11:21.24
I'm definitely going
to stay with the program.
00:11:21.28\00:11:23.38
Yes. And that's a must for me.
00:11:23.41\00:11:25.91
You're going to
throw out anything that
00:11:25.95\00:11:28.05
looks like an animal
or come from an animal.
00:11:28.08\00:11:30.35
Yes. Good, don't give away.
00:11:30.39\00:11:32.29
The fats are the
big problem. Yep.
00:11:32.32\00:11:35.22
And I learned how
to drink water right.
00:11:35.26\00:11:38.39
Yeah..
00:11:38.43\00:11:39.76
Lot of sun, walking,
00:11:39.79\00:11:42.06
and life is so much better now.
00:11:42.10\00:11:44.97
Pat, I want to thank you.
00:11:45.00\00:11:46.40
We run out of time.
00:11:46.43\00:11:47.80
But thank you, and God
bless and we'll be in touch.
00:11:47.84\00:11:51.14
Okay.
00:11:51.17\00:11:52.51
Friends, don't go away.
00:11:52.54\00:11:53.88
Dr. Lukens will
be right with us.
00:11:53.91\00:11:57.31
When we look at the health
status of Americans today,
00:11:57.35\00:12:00.02
it's alarming to see
00:12:00.05\00:12:01.38
that 60% are either
over weight or obese.
00:12:01.42\00:12:04.75
In addition, diseases
such as Type 2 diabetes,
00:12:09.86\00:12:12.79
cancer and heart disorders
00:12:12.83\00:12:14.40
are the leading cause
of so many complications
00:12:14.43\00:12:16.87
and deaths every year.
00:12:16.90\00:12:18.77
Could that have something
to do with what we eat?
00:12:22.77\00:12:25.34
After all,
00:12:25.37\00:12:26.71
every one in four Americans
00:12:26.74\00:12:28.08
visits a fast
food restaurant daily
00:12:28.11\00:12:30.21
and with such easy
access to quick fix foods,
00:12:30.25\00:12:33.85
we tend to forget the
poor health value those foods
00:12:33.88\00:12:36.38
actually offer.
00:12:36.42\00:12:38.59
Maybe, it's the
sedentary lifestyle
00:12:38.62\00:12:40.66
and lack of exercise that
we've become so accustomed
00:12:40.69\00:12:43.36
to as a media dependent world.
00:12:43.39\00:12:46.06
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:12:46.09\00:12:48.00
a solution has arrived.
00:12:48.03\00:12:52.17
The NEWSTART Lifestyle
Centre offers enriching program
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.64
where patients can get
00:12:55.67\00:12:57.01

mind, body and soul.
00:12:57.04\00:12:59.44
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:12:59.47\00:13:01.94
the NEWSTART Centre is
situated on the beautiful campus
00:13:01.98\00:13:05.21
of Weimar Centre of
Health and Education,
00:13:05.25\00:13:07.78
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:13:07.82\00:13:11.59
With the whole plant
foods eaten whole moto,
00:13:11.62\00:13:15.06
the NEWSTART Centre promotes
a healthy plant based diet
00:13:15.09\00:13:18.19
with an emphasis

00:13:18.23\00:13:20.63
The NEWSTART staff are

doctors, dieticians
00:13:23.70\00:13:27.17
and therapists who work together
00:13:27.20\00:13:29.07
to assist each
patient personally.
00:13:29.10\00:13:31.54
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.01

00:13:34.04\00:13:35.38
and are always there to
guide, advice and encourage.
00:13:35.41\00:13:39.05
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:13:39.08\00:13:41.12
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:13:41.15\00:13:44.22
You're both in sequence.
That's good, all right.
00:13:44.25\00:13:47.06
As part of the balance program,
00:13:47.09\00:13:48.72
there is much opportunity
to get in the fair share
00:13:48.76\00:13:51.43
of physical activity from
utilizing our fitness centre,
00:13:51.46\00:13:54.93
to taking a stroll around
the peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:13:54.96\00:13:58.47
It's amazing what a
NEWSTART can do for you.
00:13:58.50\00:14:02.37
Welcome back, friends.
00:14:02.40\00:14:03.74
Dr. Lukens, how are you?
00:14:03.77\00:14:05.21
Yeah, I'm pretty good.
00:14:05.24\00:14:06.57
Good to see you again.
00:14:06.61\00:14:07.94
Thank you, thank you. Yeah.
00:14:07.98\00:14:09.51
But you hadn't
seen me in two weeks,
00:14:09.54\00:14:11.05
you've been
doctoring... Yeah, that's...
00:14:11.08\00:14:13.68
Busy with patients. Yep.
00:14:13.72\00:14:16.12
And I want to
talk to you about Pat,
00:14:16.15\00:14:18.62
because Pat looks
like a different guy to me,
00:14:18.65\00:14:23.29
a different individual.
00:14:23.32\00:14:25.26
He came here as...
00:14:25.29\00:14:26.76
He was kind of
slow and, you know...
00:14:26.80\00:14:29.36
He was slow. Yeah.
00:14:29.40\00:14:31.23
Well, I guess.
00:14:31.27\00:14:32.60
And he admits during
our interview just now
00:14:32.63\00:14:35.77
that it was like
someone's lifted a fog...
00:14:35.80\00:14:39.17
Yeah. Or a whale.
00:14:39.21\00:14:41.61
And also taking the bag pack off
00:14:41.64\00:14:43.95
because he had a hard time
00:14:43.98\00:14:45.68
getting up from the
clinic when we came here.
00:14:45.71\00:14:47.98
Yes, he could
barely make it. Yeah.
00:14:48.02\00:14:50.19
Now what is
this about the brain?
00:14:50.22\00:14:54.99
How is it...
00:14:55.02\00:14:56.36
'Cause I've had
the same experience,
00:14:56.39\00:14:57.93
all of a sudden it's
like, I can think again.
00:14:57.96\00:15:00.76
What happens?
00:15:00.80\00:15:02.76
Well, it's all in the
matter of circulation.
00:15:02.80\00:15:05.50
Yes, prostaglandins.
Yeah, there you go.
00:15:05.53\00:15:08.50
It's
prostaglandins. I remembered.
00:15:08.54\00:15:09.87
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:09.90\00:15:11.24
Anyway, they dilate
the tiny blood vessels.
00:15:11.27\00:15:13.64
And his heart was
becoming stronger.
00:15:13.68\00:15:18.15
And when you saw him, at first,
00:15:18.18\00:15:21.58
if you looked at him,
he didn't have ankles.
00:15:21.62\00:15:26.09
From his calf down, it
was literally like this.
00:15:26.12\00:15:29.82
Especially, on his left leg,
00:15:29.86\00:15:31.19
he had bumped it
and gotten a sore,
00:15:31.23\00:15:33.29
that's the worst
place to get a sore.
00:15:33.33\00:15:34.80
He mentioned that.
Right here in the front.
00:15:34.83\00:15:36.36
Yeah.
00:15:36.40\00:15:37.73
And the leg was red
and it was discolored
00:15:37.77\00:15:40.80
and, you know, we had
him pull up his pant legs
00:15:40.84\00:15:46.21
to show the person who was
taking his vitals down there
00:15:46.24\00:15:50.15
and it was just incredible
00:15:50.18\00:15:52.31
that the right one
looks almost normal
00:15:52.35\00:15:55.08
and the left one
is, it's way on the way.
00:15:55.12\00:15:57.62
Why is that?
00:15:57.65\00:15:59.05
Because the heart,
when it gets stronger,
00:15:59.09\00:16:02.79
it's able to pump the
blood through the kidneys,
00:16:02.82\00:16:06.06
the backup and the water
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.30
and it's in the extremities,
just able to pumped out.
00:16:08.33\00:16:12.17
And he lost over 20 pounds.
00:16:12.20\00:16:14.44
So...
00:16:14.47\00:16:15.80
Of water out of his legs.
00:16:15.84\00:16:17.17
What you're saying...
00:16:17.21\00:16:18.54
Yeah.
00:16:18.57\00:16:19.91
Is that the heart wasn't strong,
00:16:19.94\00:16:21.28
so the legs
started to swell? Oh, yeah.
00:16:21.31\00:16:22.98
The pressure was
backing up, you see,
00:16:23.01\00:16:26.28
because the heart
wasn't able to pump
00:16:26.31\00:16:29.55
and then the kidneys,
00:16:29.58\00:16:31.25
if their filtration is way down,
00:16:31.29\00:16:34.79
then there is problems there.
00:16:34.82\00:16:37.19
And then they
can't pump the water out,
00:16:37.23\00:16:39.79
because they
don't have enough force
00:16:39.83\00:16:41.83
to have that water
go through the kidneys.
00:16:41.86\00:16:44.03
It's really amazing the way
the body's all tied together.
00:16:44.07\00:16:48.84
Listen, doctor in one on one,
00:16:48.87\00:16:50.77
that was a lot
what you just said.
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.71
I know there's viewers out there
00:16:52.74\00:16:54.34
with swelling in their
legs and ankles wondering,
00:16:54.38\00:16:57.81
"Well, it's just a
little water retention."
00:16:57.85\00:17:00.05
Well, it's more
than that, right?
00:17:00.08\00:17:02.12
Oh, yeah, because your
heart isn't working well
00:17:02.15\00:17:04.55
and you notice more
than a water retention,
00:17:04.59\00:17:07.16
you notice that you're
just fatigued all the time
00:17:07.19\00:17:09.86
and you just can't move hardly.
00:17:09.89\00:17:11.66
So people should be
coming to a LIFESTART Centre,
00:17:11.69\00:17:15.10
like new start and
reversing these situations by...
00:17:15.13\00:17:20.40
Oh, yeah, get
the heart stronger,
00:17:20.44\00:17:21.80
get the brain
stronger, get the kidneys,
00:17:21.84\00:17:24.67
so they can filter better.
00:17:24.71\00:17:26.31
Yeah.
00:17:26.34\00:17:27.68
And this is what's
happened with our friend Pat.
00:17:27.71\00:17:30.01
Yeah, we've had four
now that have lost 30 pounds
00:17:30.05\00:17:33.68
in the first week when they came
00:17:33.72\00:17:37.05
because their
heart was failing so bad,
00:17:37.09\00:17:40.09
and then we had one person that,
00:17:40.12\00:17:42.36
in the 18 days, lost 40 pounds.
00:17:42.39\00:17:46.19
Wow, was that David?
00:17:46.23\00:17:48.16
No, that was
quite a long time ago.
00:17:48.20\00:17:49.96
Quite a long, okay. Yeah.
00:17:50.00\00:17:51.33
That's a lot of weight.
00:17:51.37\00:17:52.77
Yeah, well, the thing is just
00:17:52.80\00:17:54.70
that he is able to
walk two miles now.
00:17:54.74\00:17:57.64
And before, he'd
struggled to get up.
00:17:57.67\00:18:00.48
The other thing is...
00:18:00.51\00:18:03.01
He may not have said all this
00:18:03.04\00:18:04.95
but he's worried
because of his diet here,
00:18:04.98\00:18:08.98
it's almost always that,
00:18:09.02\00:18:10.72
he developed cancer of the colon
00:18:10.75\00:18:12.35
and that's where it's
come about recently again.
00:18:12.39\00:18:16.22
I came out with this saying,
00:18:16.26\00:18:17.89
"Beef does make an increased
risk in cancer of the colon."
00:18:17.93\00:18:22.06
And they "No, no,
no, that can't be right."
00:18:22.10\00:18:26.03
We've known that
for 50 years or more.
00:18:26.07\00:18:29.20
And so he's got, there
were some spots on the liver,
00:18:29.24\00:18:32.74
and so he's worried about that
00:18:32.77\00:18:35.24
and then we found out
that his kidneys were failing
00:18:35.28\00:18:38.81
and he didn't
even know about that
00:18:38.85\00:18:40.78
and stuff like that, so
he's cautiously optimistic.
00:18:40.82\00:18:46.15
But that's why he has
to keep in touch with us,
00:18:46.19\00:18:49.52
that he's got to fill
that eight-week calendar out,
00:18:49.56\00:18:52.46
and he's off of
all of his insulin.
00:18:52.49\00:18:54.66
Wow.
00:18:54.70\00:18:56.03
You see, he came in with,
00:18:56.06\00:18:57.67
you know, his
cholesterol wasn't too bad,
00:18:57.70\00:19:00.10
so why are his
arteries plugged up,
00:19:00.14\00:19:02.40
his HDL, it takes the
placoid out of your arteries
00:19:02.44\00:19:05.71
and dumps it out.
00:19:05.74\00:19:07.21
His was so low, that he
wasn't able to do the job.
00:19:07.24\00:19:10.28
Oh.
00:19:10.31\00:19:11.65
And, yeah, so he's
got all these things
00:19:11.68\00:19:13.75
working against him,
00:19:13.78\00:19:15.38
and now he has these
things working for him,
00:19:15.42\00:19:17.72
it's very likely
that they're going to see
00:19:17.75\00:19:22.26
what his liver does
before they do anything else.
00:19:22.29\00:19:24.76
In fact, I
didn't even realize it
00:19:24.79\00:19:27.00
until we were putting the
leads on for his treadmill,
00:19:27.03\00:19:30.57
he's had open heart surgery,
00:19:30.60\00:19:32.80
and then eight months ago,
00:19:32.83\00:19:34.90
he had to have a stent placed
00:19:34.94\00:19:36.50
because they were plugged up
00:19:36.54\00:19:38.27
and it just goes on
and on and on and on.
00:19:38.31\00:19:41.31
He's not a million dollar man,
00:19:41.34\00:19:43.31
he's probably a
half million dollar man
00:19:43.35\00:19:45.65
with all the stuff
that they've done for him.
00:19:45.68\00:19:47.48
Wow.
00:19:47.52\00:19:48.85
Very dear man,
his family loves him
00:19:48.88\00:19:50.72
and they want him to keep going,
00:19:50.75\00:19:52.72
they've got to help him out.
00:19:52.75\00:19:54.09
He feels very encouraged.
00:19:54.12\00:19:56.06
He should be.
00:19:56.09\00:19:57.43
Yeah, he's just done
wonders since he's been here.
00:19:57.46\00:20:00.73
And so we have a
program that we'll follow up on.
00:20:00.76\00:20:04.17
As you know, I
call and contact guests
00:20:04.20\00:20:07.17
and many of them don't
want to be bothered of course,
00:20:07.20\00:20:11.67
but most love to be
in contact with us and...
00:20:11.71\00:20:14.71
Yeah.
00:20:14.74\00:20:16.08
Especially, with our doctors
00:20:16.11\00:20:17.45
and I know they
love talking to you.
00:20:17.48\00:20:19.21
So all these good
numbers are fantastic.
00:20:19.25\00:20:24.35
What do we do to
see that he continues?
00:20:24.39\00:20:31.09
Well, that's your department.
00:20:31.13\00:20:32.79
My department too, you
know, and I'm calling people up,
00:20:32.83\00:20:37.67
you know, one of
the guys that was just,
00:20:37.70\00:20:39.70
he and another one
and you know both of them,
00:20:39.73\00:20:43.27
were supposed to get
their shunt in their arm.
00:20:43.30\00:20:46.04
You know, when I
called up and I said,
00:20:46.07\00:20:48.54
"Well, is this so and so?"
00:20:48.58\00:20:49.91
And he said, "No, it's his son."
00:20:49.94\00:20:51.61
And I said,
"Well, how is he doing?"
00:20:51.65\00:20:53.01
He said, "He seems
to be doing all right."
00:20:53.05\00:20:54.88
"Well, I want to
know more. How is he?"
00:20:54.92\00:20:57.02
Well, he said, "He's
gone over to Africa."
00:20:57.05\00:21:00.22
"How do you go over to
Africa and stay in the program?"
00:21:00.26\00:21:03.89
He says, "Well," he said that
00:21:03.93\00:21:05.49
they just eat beans
and corn over there,
00:21:05.53\00:21:07.46
so he should do all right.
00:21:07.50\00:21:09.63
But, yeah, we've got to
follow up with these people,
00:21:09.66\00:21:11.83
especially the ones
that are ready for dialysis,
00:21:11.87\00:21:14.64
they've been on insulin
00:21:14.67\00:21:16.27
and he was on a large,
00:21:16.30\00:21:18.44
he was on 50 units of the long
acting insulin in the morning
00:21:18.47\00:21:23.21
and 30 in the evening
00:21:23.24\00:21:26.01
and then he was topping it
up with the fast acting stuff,
00:21:26.05\00:21:29.05
and it's really,
it's really something
00:21:29.08\00:21:31.75
because his fasting blood sugar
00:21:31.79\00:21:34.86
is better than it was
00:21:34.89\00:21:37.19
when he was on
all that medication.
00:21:37.23\00:21:39.09
Oh, praise God.
00:21:39.13\00:21:40.66
And besides, he's
at times when his,
00:21:40.70\00:21:43.60
you know, we'd like to
see that the hemoglobin A1c,
00:21:43.63\00:21:48.24
the diabetics utter,
you know what that is.
00:21:48.27\00:21:50.51
We like to see it
normal, below 6 anyway.
00:21:50.54\00:21:54.34
And his was going up to 10,
11 and 12 which is, you know,
00:21:54.38\00:21:59.11
that's the reason
why he was so sick.
00:21:59.15\00:22:00.92
That's the
reason why it's hard...
00:22:00.95\00:22:02.28
He is a good reason why we
need to start at a young age
00:22:02.32\00:22:05.69
and get healthy.
00:22:05.72\00:22:08.02
Dr. Lukens, thank you
for coming and joining us...
00:22:08.06\00:22:10.63
Thank you for letting us
tell about these good cases.
00:22:10.66\00:22:13.60
Amen.
00:22:13.63\00:22:14.96
I want everybody to
follow until they do good.
00:22:15.00\00:22:17.03
Oh, absolutely.
00:22:17.07\00:22:18.63
And thank you, friends.
00:22:18.67\00:22:20.00
Don't go away, we have an
important message for you.
00:22:20.04\00:22:24.77
Welcome, friends, in
our NEWSTART kitchen.
00:22:24.81\00:22:26.91
My name is Radek and
I'm going to show you
00:22:26.94\00:22:29.04
how to make a carrot loaf.
00:22:29.08\00:22:33.72
The first thing that we
need is to have a nice bowl
00:22:33.75\00:22:37.82
that we can mix
all the ingredients in
00:22:37.85\00:22:39.65
and a spatula, and
then of course, a pan,
00:22:39.69\00:22:42.62
where we are
going to bake the loaf.
00:22:42.66\00:22:45.26
The ingredients that you need
for the loaf is peanut butter,
00:22:45.29\00:22:50.37
tomato paste or tomato puree,
00:22:50.40\00:22:55.30
onion powder, garlic powder,
00:22:55.34\00:22:58.57
salt, basil,
00:22:58.61\00:23:01.81
shredded or grated carrots
00:23:01.84\00:23:04.41
and bread crumbs.
00:23:04.45\00:23:05.98
To make it nice and
moist, you will need some water.
00:23:06.01\00:23:09.65
Well, let's start.
00:23:09.68\00:23:11.02
The first thing, the
first step that you have to do
00:23:11.05\00:23:13.25
is to cream the
first six ingredients
00:23:13.29\00:23:17.33
that I mentioned in a bowl.
00:23:17.36\00:23:20.93
And that's again, peanut butter,
00:23:20.96\00:23:23.37
tomato puree,
00:23:29.74\00:23:31.14
onion powder,
00:23:34.48\00:23:37.05
garlic powder,
00:23:37.08\00:23:40.58
salt
00:23:40.62\00:23:43.69
and the basil.
00:23:43.72\00:23:45.42
The peanut butter that I suggest
00:23:49.92\00:23:53.26
should be the one
that is nice and creamy
00:23:53.29\00:23:56.10
and preferably unsweetened.
00:23:56.13\00:24:00.64
You'd be
surprised how much sugar
00:24:00.67\00:24:03.07
is in the
sweetened peanut butter.
00:24:03.10\00:24:06.01
All right.
00:24:09.41\00:24:11.65
Now when it's creamed
00:24:11.68\00:24:15.65
and stirred nicely together,
00:24:15.68\00:24:20.46
you can add the
remaining ingredients slowly,
00:24:20.49\00:24:23.22
now add the carrots,
00:24:23.26\00:24:27.10
the bread crumbs
00:24:27.13\00:24:30.27
and the water.
00:24:30.30\00:24:31.63
Now we'll stir
everything together.
00:24:39.41\00:24:42.41
If the mixture is too dry,
00:24:42.44\00:24:44.38
you can always
add more water to it,
00:24:48.12\00:24:51.65
'cause sometimes the
bread crumbs might be
00:24:54.76\00:24:57.19
like really dry.
00:24:57.23\00:24:58.66
So then you need
to add more water.
00:24:58.69\00:25:02.93
This one kind of looks good.
00:25:02.96\00:25:04.53
All right.
00:25:13.71\00:25:15.04
And now we use oil pan.
00:25:18.21\00:25:21.42
Now put the mixture in the pan.
00:25:24.59\00:25:27.59
It kind of looks
a little bit crumbly
00:25:30.86\00:25:32.63
but don't worry about it.
00:25:32.66\00:25:34.00
When you bake it, it
will become nice and firm.
00:25:34.03\00:25:36.56
All right.
00:25:45.57\00:25:47.11
You can use the spoon
00:25:47.14\00:25:49.34
that we were
mixing the mixture with,
00:25:49.38\00:25:53.78
to press it down nicely,
00:25:53.82\00:25:57.75
especially do the edges,
00:25:57.79\00:26:00.62
so they will not burn
00:26:00.66\00:26:03.73
and we will make a
nice loaf in the pan.
00:26:03.76\00:26:08.03
And then,
00:26:13.20\00:26:14.54
we'll put it in the
oven and we bake it.
00:26:14.57\00:26:17.64
The temperature's set on
350 degrees of fahrenheit,
00:26:17.67\00:26:21.94
and we bake it for
approximately 45 minutes.
00:26:21.98\00:26:25.25
And then after 45 minutes,
when the loaf is nicely baked,
00:26:29.28\00:26:34.49
this is the result that you get.
00:26:34.52\00:26:37.23
You can serve it
with your mashed potatoes
00:26:40.23\00:26:44.70
or baked potatoes.
00:26:44.73\00:26:47.00
You can add ketchup to it.
00:26:47.04\00:26:49.40
And of course, we
should never forget
00:26:49.44\00:26:50.97
some nice and
fresh looking vegetables.
00:26:51.01\00:26:53.98
And you can see how
nice and firm it is.
00:26:54.01\00:26:57.11
It doesn't look so crumbly like
00:26:57.15\00:26:59.61
it was before we
put it in the oven.
00:26:59.65\00:27:01.82
And it's something
that you will enjoy.
00:27:01.85\00:27:06.45
And something that will actually
00:27:06.49\00:27:08.99
again bring us some
healthy vegetables in your diet,
00:27:09.02\00:27:12.99
like the carrots do.
00:27:13.03\00:27:15.83
Friends, thank
you for watching us
00:27:15.86\00:27:18.40
and enjoy this
nice looking loaf.
00:27:18.43\00:27:22.24
