00:12 Every year in America,
00:13 there are over one million deaths 00:14 because of Type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. 00:17 This includes heart attacks and strokes. 00:20 That's 6.5 747s crashing every day. 00:23 What's even more surprise? 00:25 Is that the fix is easy? 00:26 It's your lifestyle. 00:28 Wouldn't it be nice if you could actually add 00:30 quality years to your life 00:31 rather than dying one organ at a time? 00:34 Obesity and diabetes are the cause 00:36 of over a million deaths per year. 00:38 Most diseases are reversible, 00:40 because most diseases are lifestyle diseases, 00:43 especially Type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. 00:47 Seriously now, they can be reversed 00:49 and the quality of your life can be renewed. 00:53 Call NEWSTART TODAY at 1-800-525-9192. 00:59 You will see dramatic changes 01:01 in the first few days of our program 01:03 and you will be on the road 01:04 to a better, more robust quality of life. 01:07 The NEWSTART programs are simple and effective. 01:13 Hi, folks, and welcome to another edition 01:16 of NEWSTART NOW. 01:17 I'm your host, Ron Giannoni. 01:20 In our studios today, 01:22 we have a gentleman by the name of Pat O'Brian. 01:26 Yes, The Pat O'Brian. 01:28 And let's take a look at when Pat first arrived. 01:33 I was watching 3ABN, 01:35 and I've seen a new approach 01:39 to medical help. 01:42 I've been going to the doctor, doctors, 01:45 and they were giving me medicine 01:49 but not really treating the problem. 01:52 So when I saw 01:55 the NEWSTART program, 01:58 I thought, "Wow! This really makes sense." 02:02 So basically, 02:05 I saw it helping from the top of your head 02:08 to the bottom of your feet, 02:10 not just medical but spiritual. 02:13 And medical of course, in a new way of doing it. 02:18 Last March, I had a tumor in my colon removed 02:23 and I had some complications. 02:26 So I most likely would, 02:28 the most that I'd really like to have 02:30 is to be clean of the cancer. 02:35 But I'm really excited about the spiritual aspect, 02:40 where the people pray for you. 02:43 And so it's... 02:46 It's a combination really, 02:48 it's a complete healing of body, mind and soul, 02:52 more than just treating one aspect of it. 02:57 And with the good Lord helping, I'm expecting great things. 03:01 So I wanted to address the cost of all my medicines, 03:06 and I take a lot of medicines. 03:08 And for whatever reason, 03:12 they just keep jumping and jumping. 03:15 I had one that was $10, and then it was $20, 03:19 then it was $50, now it's a $110. 03:22 This is just in the last year. 03:25 So not only did I want to get rid of the medicine, 03:29 'cause I'd rather my body fights for me, 03:34 but the cost is really becoming a problem. 03:39 Welcome back, friends. 03:41 And in our studio, Pat, how are you, sir? 03:44 Great. You look great. 03:46 Thank you. 03:47 And I want to get right to the mid of the steel 03:50 or excuse me, the versible of the steel. 03:54 How are you feeling? 03:56 I'm feeling mighty good. 03:58 Mighty good? Yes. 03:59 Any big changes that you noticed? 04:01 Yes. What are they? 04:04 Well, I lost 19 pounds. 04:06 Wow. Where did you lose it from? 04:08 Everywhere. 04:10 I lost it from my legs, 04:12 I lost it from my stomach, my face. 04:14 Good. 04:16 You do look different. Thank you. 04:18 And aside from the weight loss, 04:21 did you get off any medications that you like to share? 04:25 Yeah, my doctor said he... 04:28 There was a 95% chance he could treat me 04:31 but you'd never be able to cure me of my diabetic. 04:37 And three days after I was here, 04:40 I was off my medication. 04:44 Oh, wait a minute, you talking about 04:45 your doctor at home, right? 04:47 Yes. Or the doctor here? 04:49 Yeah, the doctor here said, "You can drop all those now." 04:55 What do you attribute that to, Pat? 04:57 I mean, three days. Three days. 05:00 I think it's your system, 05:04 and it's the fruits and vegetables, 05:07 and the walking... 05:08 Yes. And the water. 05:09 Yes. It's all a combination. 05:11 And, Pat, by the way, it was three days for me too. 05:15 Wow. Yeah. 05:16 You were a good-sized boy too. 05:18 Yeah, I was a little larger than you. 05:20 Yeah. 05:21 But it was three days, 05:22 that seems to be a magic number. 05:24 Yeah. 05:25 So what else, 05:28 you were sharing before the program began 05:31 about something that you were saying that, 05:34 you weren't saying so clearly before. 05:37 Yeah, well, this is another huge benefit. 05:42 When I would do my Bible reading, 05:44 there was like some sort of a cloud 05:47 and I'd have to read two, three times 05:50 and I could finally get it, but with a lot of effort. 05:54 I was reading just a couple of days ago Ellen White, 05:57 one of her books. 05:59 And it was just like when I was first saved, 06:03 30 some years ago. 06:05 It was clear and anointed and that's a huge, 06:10 maybe the hugest benefit I've received. 06:13 Wow. Since I've been here. 06:15 So like the brain fog, just kind of lifted. 06:18 Yes. That's not unusual. 06:21 As I shared earlier, it happened for me as well. 06:24 And I've had a lot of reports from guests 06:27 that we've interviewed in the past 06:29 that they seem to think more clearly. 06:32 Yeah. 06:33 And it's really, I enjoy it, 06:37 'cause it happens in steps like. 06:39 Yeah. Like peeling away that onion. 06:41 Yeah. 06:42 So what did you like most about the program? 06:46 Well, all the people are excellent. 06:51 Everybody, 06:53 from the cleaning lady to the doctors. 06:55 I mean it. 06:56 It's just a pleasure to be here. 06:58 Yeah. 06:59 And my room was fabulous. 07:01 Yeah. 07:02 I don't know how I got such a nice room, 07:04 but I'm very happy with it. 07:07 And the food is good. 07:09 I didn't think I'd care first, lot of it. 07:13 It's amazingly good. 07:15 So... 07:18 The hydrotherapy, 07:21 it's so invigorating and helpful. 07:25 You mean, the car wash. 07:27 Yeah, the car wash, the cotton cold. 07:29 Sixteen nozzles shoot water at you at the same time. 07:33 Yeah. 07:35 You know, I enjoy one in a regular shower. 07:36 Yeah. 07:37 But sixteen, absolutely awesome. 07:40 In the 40 some degree difference in the temperature. 07:44 Man, all that blood is pumping up. 07:47 Yes. 07:49 And clearing your head and... 07:50 Builds the immune system. 07:52 Clearing you out. Yeah. 07:54 And I did have quite a bit of swelling in my legs. 07:58 But that's gone? 07:59 And that's gone. I mean, it's amazing. 08:02 That's part of that 19 pounds, I'm sure. 08:05 Oh, yeah. 08:06 But it's just, proteins are down, 08:11 I mean, in my kidneys 08:13 and all my statistics 08:16 are probably better than I would have hoped for. 08:21 Awesome. So it's a great place. 08:24 Now, you, of course, walked. 08:28 Were you able to walk when you first got here? 08:31 Could you walk? 08:32 I probably could walk 08:35 quarter of a mile. 08:37 Could you? Yeah. 08:38 And what about now? 08:40 How many miles a day are you walking? 08:42 Or are you walking miles per day? 08:45 Yeah, I'm up to... 08:46 I'm over two miles. 08:48 Over two miles? 08:49 Yeah, which is really... 08:53 Some people walk in more, 08:54 but you got to go by where you started. 08:57 That's right. 08:59 So and this isn't just easy walking, 09:02 there is some big heels out there. 09:05 Can I come to the water tower? 09:07 Oh, that's a kill. 09:08 Cardiac hill. 09:09 Yeah, and coming back to, you got to remember, 09:11 you got to come back. 09:13 I tried, I tried. 09:14 So now, it's a good stress for a good walk. 09:17 Now could you tell us 09:19 why you were not walking very well? 09:23 Well, I've been through a lot of medical procedures. 09:27 Like? 09:28 I had a tumor removed in my colon. 09:31 Okay. Last March. 09:33 Okay. 09:34 And then I had other complications. 09:37 I ended up having a stent put in my heart, 09:39 at back of my heart. 09:41 Is your heart okay? 09:42 It's okay now. Okay. 09:43 My blood pressure's very good, 131/63 today. 09:49 I mean, that's good. 09:51 That is good. With lot of medications. 09:52 Wow. 09:53 So, I mean, 09:57 I asked the Lord for a miracle and I believe I've got it. 10:01 He does answer prayers, doesn't he? 10:03 Mm-hm. 10:05 Well, I'm happy for it 10:06 but I got to ask you a few more questions. 10:09 Did you make any new acquaintances 10:12 that you didn't know prior to your arrival? 10:14 Yeah, 18. 10:16 Eighteen? Eighteen of us. 10:18 Really? Really. 10:20 I assure over 20. 10:22 Was it 20? Yeah, there were 20 or 21. 10:25 Okay. And two had to leave early. 10:28 Yeah. 10:29 And so you've made new friends. Yes. 10:31 And have you had any agreements 10:33 that you're going to stay in contact with one another? 10:35 Yeah, we are. 10:37 I made some very close friends. 10:39 Ain't that amazing? 10:40 And every... 10:42 They're just as nice. 10:44 I mean, we're helping each other. 10:47 It's funny how you're helping somebody 10:48 and you don't know and they're helping you 10:50 and really they don't know. 10:52 But that's a big part of the program. 10:55 You know, I try to share that with people before they come, 10:59 like, you're going to make new friends, 11:00 you're actually going to fall in love 11:03 with new friends and staff 11:05 and everybody's so kind and loving 11:07 and, you know, it just amazed me. 11:12 And I'm so happy they hear 11:14 that other people are getting that as well. 11:17 So what's the prognosis? 11:19 What you are going to do when you go to home? 11:21 I'm definitely going to stay with the program. 11:23 Yes. And that's a must for me. 11:25 You're going to throw out anything that 11:28 looks like an animal or come from an animal. 11:30 Yes. Good, don't give away. 11:32 The fats are the big problem. Yep. 11:35 And I learned how to drink water right. 11:38 Yeah.. 11:39 Lot of sun, walking, 11:42 and life is so much better now. 11:45 Pat, I want to thank you. 11:46 We run out of time. 11:47 But thank you, and God bless and we'll be in touch. 11:51 Okay. 11:52 Friends, don't go away. 11:53 Dr. Lukens will be right with us. 11:57 When we look at the health status of Americans today, 12:00 it's alarming to see 12:01 that 60% are either over weight or obese. 12:09 In addition, diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, 12:12 cancer and heart disorders 12:14 are the leading cause of so many complications 12:16 and deaths every year. 12:22 Could that have something to do with what we eat? 12:25 After all, 12:26 every one in four Americans 12:28 visits a fast food restaurant daily 12:30 and with such easy access to quick fix foods, 12:33 we tend to forget the poor health value those foods 12:36 actually offer. 12:38 Maybe, it's the sedentary lifestyle 12:40 and lack of exercise that we've become so accustomed 12:43 to as a media dependent world. 12:46 Whatever the cause of these diseases, 12:48 a solution has arrived. 12:52 The NEWSTART Lifestyle Centre offers enriching program 12:55 where patients can get 12:57 a healing of mind, body and soul. 12:59 Located in the outskirts of Sacramento, 13:01 the NEWSTART Centre is situated on the beautiful campus 13:05 of Weimar Centre of Health and Education, 13:07 with scenic walking and hiking trails all around. 13:11 With the whole plant foods eaten whole moto, 13:15 the NEWSTART Centre promotes a healthy plant based diet 13:18 with an emphasis on natural foods. 13:20 The NEWSTART staff are made up of California Board 13:23 certified nurses, doctors, dieticians 13:27 and therapists who work together 13:29 to assist each patient personally. 13:31 The staff are dedicated to each patient's success 13:34 in the program 13:35 and are always there to guide, advice and encourage. 13:39 In addition to a healthy lifestyle, 13:41 NEWSTART also promotes a healthy exercise routine. 13:44 You're both in sequence. That's good, all right. 13:47 As part of the balance program, 13:48 there is much opportunity to get in the fair share 13:51 of physical activity from utilizing our fitness centre, 13:54 to taking a stroll around the peaceful grounds of Weimar. 13:58 It's amazing what a NEWSTART can do for you. 14:02 Welcome back, friends. 14:03 Dr. Lukens, how are you? 14:05 Yeah, I'm pretty good. 14:06 Good to see you again. 14:07 Thank you, thank you. Yeah. 14:09 But you hadn't seen me in two weeks, 14:11 you've been doctoring... Yeah, that's... 14:13 Busy with patients. Yep. 14:16 And I want to talk to you about Pat, 14:18 because Pat looks like a different guy to me, 14:23 a different individual. 14:25 He came here as... 14:26 He was kind of slow and, you know... 14:29 He was slow. Yeah. 14:31 Well, I guess. 14:32 And he admits during our interview just now 14:35 that it was like someone's lifted a fog... 14:39 Yeah. Or a whale. 14:41 And also taking the bag pack off 14:43 because he had a hard time 14:45 getting up from the clinic when we came here. 14:48 Yes, he could barely make it. Yeah. 14:50 Now what is this about the brain? 14:55 How is it... 14:56 'Cause I've had the same experience, 14:57 all of a sudden it's like, I can think again. 15:00 What happens? 15:02 Well, it's all in the matter of circulation. 15:05 Yes, prostaglandins. Yeah, there you go. 15:08 It's prostaglandins. I remembered. 15:09 Yeah, yeah. 15:11 Anyway, they dilate the tiny blood vessels. 15:13 And his heart was becoming stronger. 15:18 And when you saw him, at first, 15:21 if you looked at him, he didn't have ankles. 15:26 From his calf down, it was literally like this. 15:29 Especially, on his left leg, 15:31 he had bumped it and gotten a sore, 15:33 that's the worst place to get a sore. 15:34 He mentioned that. Right here in the front. 15:36 Yeah. 15:37 And the leg was red and it was discolored 15:40 and, you know, we had him pull up his pant legs 15:46 to show the person who was taking his vitals down there 15:50 and it was just incredible 15:52 that the right one looks almost normal 15:55 and the left one is, it's way on the way. 15:57 Why is that? 15:59 Because the heart, when it gets stronger, 16:02 it's able to pump the blood through the kidneys, 16:06 the backup and the water 16:08 and it's in the extremities, just able to pumped out. 16:12 And he lost over 20 pounds. 16:14 So... 16:15 Of water out of his legs. 16:17 What you're saying... 16:18 Yeah. 16:19 Is that the heart wasn't strong, 16:21 so the legs started to swell? Oh, yeah. 16:23 The pressure was backing up, you see, 16:26 because the heart wasn't able to pump 16:29 and then the kidneys, 16:31 if their filtration is way down, 16:34 then there is problems there. 16:37 And then they can't pump the water out, 16:39 because they don't have enough force 16:41 to have that water go through the kidneys. 16:44 It's really amazing the way the body's all tied together. 16:48 Listen, doctor in one on one, 16:50 that was a lot what you just said. 16:52 I know there's viewers out there 16:54 with swelling in their legs and ankles wondering, 16:57 "Well, it's just a little water retention." 17:00 Well, it's more than that, right? 17:02 Oh, yeah, because your heart isn't working well 17:04 and you notice more than a water retention, 17:07 you notice that you're just fatigued all the time 17:09 and you just can't move hardly. 17:11 So people should be coming to a LIFESTART Centre, 17:15 like new start and reversing these situations by... 17:20 Oh, yeah, get the heart stronger, 17:21 get the brain stronger, get the kidneys, 17:24 so they can filter better. 17:26 Yeah. 17:27 And this is what's happened with our friend Pat. 17:30 Yeah, we've had four now that have lost 30 pounds 17:33 in the first week when they came 17:37 because their heart was failing so bad, 17:40 and then we had one person that, 17:42 in the 18 days, lost 40 pounds. 17:46 Wow, was that David? 17:48 No, that was quite a long time ago. 17:50 Quite a long, okay. Yeah. 17:51 That's a lot of weight. 17:52 Yeah, well, the thing is just 17:54 that he is able to walk two miles now. 17:57 And before, he'd struggled to get up. 18:00 The other thing is... 18:03 He may not have said all this 18:04 but he's worried because of his diet here, 18:09 it's almost always that, 18:10 he developed cancer of the colon 18:12 and that's where it's come about recently again. 18:16 I came out with this saying, 18:17 "Beef does make an increased risk in cancer of the colon." 18:22 And they "No, no, no, that can't be right." 18:26 We've known that for 50 years or more. 18:29 And so he's got, there were some spots on the liver, 18:32 and so he's worried about that 18:35 and then we found out that his kidneys were failing 18:38 and he didn't even know about that 18:40 and stuff like that, so he's cautiously optimistic. 18:46 But that's why he has to keep in touch with us, 18:49 that he's got to fill that eight-week calendar out, 18:52 and he's off of all of his insulin. 18:54 Wow. 18:56 You see, he came in with, 18:57 you know, his cholesterol wasn't too bad, 19:00 so why are his arteries plugged up, 19:02 his HDL, it takes the placoid out of your arteries 19:05 and dumps it out. 19:07 His was so low, that he wasn't able to do the job. 19:10 Oh. 19:11 And, yeah, so he's got all these things 19:13 working against him, 19:15 and now he has these things working for him, 19:17 it's very likely that they're going to see 19:22 what his liver does before they do anything else. 19:24 In fact, I didn't even realize it 19:27 until we were putting the leads on for his treadmill, 19:30 he's had open heart surgery, 19:32 and then eight months ago, 19:34 he had to have a stent placed 19:36 because they were plugged up 19:38 and it just goes on and on and on and on. 19:41 He's not a million dollar man, 19:43 he's probably a half million dollar man 19:45 with all the stuff that they've done for him. 19:47 Wow. 19:48 Very dear man, his family loves him 19:50 and they want him to keep going, 19:52 they've got to help him out. 19:54 He feels very encouraged. 19:56 He should be. 19:57 Yeah, he's just done wonders since he's been here. 20:00 And so we have a program that we'll follow up on. 20:04 As you know, I call and contact guests 20:07 and many of them don't want to be bothered of course, 20:11 but most love to be in contact with us and... 20:14 Yeah. 20:16 Especially, with our doctors 20:17 and I know they love talking to you. 20:19 So all these good numbers are fantastic. 20:24 What do we do to see that he continues? 20:31 Well, that's your department. 20:32 My department too, you know, and I'm calling people up, 20:37 you know, one of the guys that was just, 20:39 he and another one and you know both of them, 20:43 were supposed to get their shunt in their arm. 20:46 You know, when I called up and I said, 20:48 "Well, is this so and so?" 20:49 And he said, "No, it's his son." 20:51 And I said, "Well, how is he doing?" 20:53 He said, "He seems to be doing all right." 20:54 "Well, I want to know more. How is he?" 20:57 Well, he said, "He's gone over to Africa." 21:00 "How do you go over to Africa and stay in the program?" 21:03 He says, "Well," he said that 21:05 they just eat beans and corn over there, 21:07 so he should do all right. 21:09 But, yeah, we've got to follow up with these people, 21:11 especially the ones that are ready for dialysis, 21:14 they've been on insulin 21:16 and he was on a large, 21:18 he was on 50 units of the long acting insulin in the morning 21:23 and 30 in the evening 21:26 and then he was topping it up with the fast acting stuff, 21:29 and it's really, it's really something 21:31 because his fasting blood sugar 21:34 is better than it was 21:37 when he was on all that medication. 21:39 Oh, praise God. 21:40 And besides, he's at times when his, 21:43 you know, we'd like to see that the hemoglobin A1c, 21:48 the diabetics utter, you know what that is. 21:50 We like to see it normal, below 6 anyway. 21:54 And his was going up to 10, 11 and 12 which is, you know, 21:59 that's the reason why he was so sick. 22:00 That's the reason why it's hard... 22:02 He is a good reason why we need to start at a young age 22:05 and get healthy. 22:08 Dr. Lukens, thank you for coming and joining us... 22:10 Thank you for letting us tell about these good cases. 22:13 Amen. 22:15 I want everybody to follow until they do good. 22:17 Oh, absolutely. 22:18 And thank you, friends. 22:20 Don't go away, we have an important message for you. 22:24 Welcome, friends, in our NEWSTART kitchen. 22:26 My name is Radek and I'm going to show you 22:29 how to make a carrot loaf. 22:33 The first thing that we need is to have a nice bowl 22:37 that we can mix all the ingredients in 22:39 and a spatula, and then of course, a pan, 22:42 where we are going to bake the loaf. 22:45 The ingredients that you need for the loaf is peanut butter, 22:50 tomato paste or tomato puree, 22:55 onion powder, garlic powder, 22:58 salt, basil, 23:01 shredded or grated carrots 23:04 and bread crumbs. 23:06 To make it nice and moist, you will need some water. 23:09 Well, let's start. 23:11 The first thing, the first step that you have to do 23:13 is to cream the first six ingredients 23:17 that I mentioned in a bowl. 23:20 And that's again, peanut butter, 23:29 tomato puree, 23:34 onion powder, 23:37 garlic powder, 23:40 salt 23:43 and the basil. 23:49 The peanut butter that I suggest 23:53 should be the one that is nice and creamy 23:56 and preferably unsweetened. 24:00 You'd be surprised how much sugar 24:03 is in the sweetened peanut butter. 24:09 All right. 24:11 Now when it's creamed 24:15 and stirred nicely together, 24:20 you can add the remaining ingredients slowly, 24:23 now add the carrots, 24:27 the bread crumbs 24:30 and the water. 24:39 Now we'll stir everything together. 24:42 If the mixture is too dry, 24:48 you can always add more water to it, 24:54 'cause sometimes the bread crumbs might be 24:57 like really dry. 24:58 So then you need to add more water. 25:02 This one kind of looks good. 25:13 All right. 25:18 And now we use oil pan. 25:24 Now put the mixture in the pan. 25:30 It kind of looks a little bit crumbly 25:32 but don't worry about it. 25:34 When you bake it, it will become nice and firm. 25:45 All right. 25:47 You can use the spoon 25:49 that we were mixing the mixture with, 25:53 to press it down nicely, 25:57 especially do the edges, 26:00 so they will not burn 26:03 and we will make a nice loaf in the pan. 26:13 And then, 26:14 we'll put it in the oven and we bake it. 26:17 The temperature's set on 350 degrees of fahrenheit, 26:21 and we bake it for approximately 45 minutes. 26:29 And then after 45 minutes, when the loaf is nicely baked, 26:34 this is the result that you get. 26:40 You can serve it with your mashed potatoes 26:44 or baked potatoes. 26:47 You can add ketchup to it. 26:49 And of course, we should never forget 26:51 some nice and fresh looking vegetables. 26:54 And you can see how nice and firm it is. 26:57 It doesn't look so crumbly like 26:59 it was before we put it in the oven. 27:01 And it's something that you will enjoy. 27:06 And something that will actually 27:09 again bring us some healthy vegetables in your diet, 27:13 like the carrots do. 27:15 Friends, thank you for watching us 27:18 and enjoy this nice looking loaf. 27:29 Well, friends, that's it for today. 27:30 But join us next week for another episode. 27:33 In the meantime, 27:35 pickup the phone and give us a call 27:36 at 1-800-525-9192. 27:41 Mention the NEWSTART NOW program 27:44 and receive the NEWSTART special. |
