Hi, friends, and welcome
00:01:12.37\00:01:13.74
to another
edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:13.77\00:01:16.17
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.20\00:01:18.84
In our studios with me today
00:01:18.87\00:01:20.38
I have Kath
Mauller from Missouri.
00:01:20.41\00:01:24.35
Now this is unusual interview,
00:01:24.38\00:01:26.18
I want you to
pay close attention
00:01:26.21\00:01:28.82
especially for
you cancer patients.
00:01:28.85\00:01:33.29
Let's break away
when she first came.
00:01:33.32\00:01:38.03
I am currently
dealing with cancer, possibly.
00:01:38.06\00:01:43.67
I was diagnosed
with breast cancer
00:01:43.70\00:01:46.53
in October of 2015,
00:01:46.57\00:01:50.07
had the tumor removed,
00:01:50.11\00:01:51.44
had a double
mastectomy in December,
00:01:51.47\00:01:55.04
started chemo in January.
00:01:55.08\00:01:59.45
I did eight weeks of chemo,
00:01:59.48\00:02:02.22
and decided that was not for me,
00:02:02.25\00:02:06.15
and at that point I knew
00:02:06.19\00:02:07.86
that the chemo
was making me sicker
00:02:07.89\00:02:11.13
rather than making me better.
00:02:11.16\00:02:14.30
So I decided to quit the chemo.
00:02:14.33\00:02:19.10
The reason why I may be
still dealing with cancer
00:02:19.13\00:02:21.94
is they found
cancer in my lymph nodes
00:02:21.97\00:02:24.81
and one cancer cells broke
through that lymph node cell
00:02:24.84\00:02:30.51
and so, you know,
00:02:30.55\00:02:33.08
it could be anywhere in the body
00:02:33.11\00:02:35.82
so we don't know if
it's metastasized or not.
00:02:35.85\00:02:40.29
I know that you're going to...
00:02:40.32\00:02:41.66
NEWSTART is going to give
me a jumpstart on exercise,
00:02:41.69\00:02:45.73
that's probably been
one of my biggest downfalls
00:02:45.76\00:02:49.03
is getting started,
00:02:49.06\00:02:51.07
you know, the first
step is the hardest.
00:02:51.10\00:02:55.04
So I know that
by getting started
00:02:55.07\00:03:00.48
I'll go home and continue
00:03:00.51\00:03:02.64
because I
already be in that mode.
00:03:02.68\00:03:08.25
Welcome back,
friends. Kath, how are you?
00:03:08.28\00:03:11.72
I'm, well, thank
you. Yes, you are.
00:03:11.75\00:03:14.16
You look well.
00:03:14.19\00:03:16.52
It's almost hard to believe
00:03:16.56\00:03:17.89
that you have
any kind of ailments,
00:03:17.93\00:03:20.63
and I guess you really don't.
00:03:20.66\00:03:22.26
Tell us about a couple things.
00:03:22.30\00:03:25.40
During our first interview
00:03:25.43\00:03:26.77
you never told me
about little lumps
00:03:26.80\00:03:29.27
you had here and there in
your breast and chest area.
00:03:29.30\00:03:32.77
Tell us about that?
00:03:32.81\00:03:35.61
I had quit the chemo in March,
00:03:35.64\00:03:38.71
and I guess over the
next couple of months
00:03:38.75\00:03:44.39
I had acquired
some lumps in my breast,
00:03:44.42\00:03:49.72
and I started
seeing a holistic doctor
00:03:49.76\00:03:52.56
and he put me
on some Viscum Mali
00:03:52.59\00:03:56.90
which is a mistletoe
from a European apple tree.
00:03:56.93\00:04:01.40
And so I do
injections in my stomach.
00:04:01.44\00:04:04.41
He was concerned
that they may be tumors.
00:04:04.44\00:04:07.38
I thought that it
was just a muscle,
00:04:07.41\00:04:10.08
you know, that
they had flattened down
00:04:10.11\00:04:12.61
into the breast.
00:04:12.65\00:04:15.78
But since I've been
here doing the fever baths...
00:04:15.82\00:04:20.02
But when you got
here, you still had lumps.
00:04:20.06\00:04:22.12
I still had the
lumps when I got here.
00:04:22.16\00:04:24.99
And you've done
the fever treatments...
00:04:25.03\00:04:26.83
I've done the fever treatments
and continued my shots.
00:04:26.86\00:04:31.13
And on my right side
00:04:31.17\00:04:33.17
those lumps are completely gone,
00:04:33.20\00:04:35.57
and on the left side
00:04:35.60\00:04:38.21
there's maybe a
quarter of the size left.
00:04:38.24\00:04:42.78
Tell us about fever treatments?
00:04:42.81\00:04:44.61
What exactly are the
therapist doing to create
00:04:44.65\00:04:49.45
what we call fever treatment?
00:04:49.48\00:04:51.72
They have a tub,
00:04:51.75\00:04:53.15
and you enter the tub
00:04:53.19\00:04:56.36
of 110, 111 degree water
00:04:56.39\00:05:02.00
and you sit in the water
00:05:02.03\00:05:04.13
and they raise your temperature
with that warm water.
00:05:04.17\00:05:09.90
And so it's very intensive.
00:05:09.94\00:05:13.78
What about the brain,
doesn't it fry the brain?
00:05:13.81\00:05:16.54
They cover the head in a towel.
00:05:16.58\00:05:20.18
I knew that, I just
wanted you to say...
00:05:20.22\00:05:22.72
For our viewers,
you know, they...
00:05:22.75\00:05:24.55
Don't try this
at home by the way.
00:05:24.59\00:05:25.92
No, do not.
00:05:25.95\00:05:27.29
Not unless you have a
companion and trained.
00:05:27.32\00:05:30.16
I would not try this
without training, for sure,
00:05:30.19\00:05:33.29
because it can be detrimental,
00:05:33.33\00:05:36.70
it's a very dangerous
procedure to do on your own.
00:05:36.73\00:05:39.97
So now these fever treatments
00:05:40.00\00:05:41.90
were to build your
immune system, correct?
00:05:41.94\00:05:44.81
Yes.
00:05:44.84\00:05:46.17
They build
00:05:46.21\00:05:51.91
white blood cells.
00:05:51.95\00:05:53.28
Yes.
00:05:53.31\00:05:54.65
And so, or they
increase the white blood cells.
00:05:54.68\00:05:59.35
And it increase
the fighter cells.
00:05:59.39\00:06:01.36
The fighter cells,
the white blood cells.
00:06:01.39\00:06:02.72
The little guys that
look out for the cancer cells.
00:06:02.76\00:06:05.13
That's right.
00:06:05.16\00:06:06.49
And they get the machine
guns and actually kill them.
00:06:06.53\00:06:09.70
That's right.
00:06:09.73\00:06:11.07
Yes. Yes.
00:06:11.10\00:06:12.43
And so they keep
you in the fever period.
00:06:12.47\00:06:17.71
Once you reach the fever,
00:06:17.74\00:06:19.77
they keep you there
for about 15, 20 minutes,
00:06:19.81\00:06:23.51
I think one day I
was in it for 25 minutes.
00:06:23.55\00:06:27.18
Wow!
00:06:27.22\00:06:28.78
Did you get
feeling little weird?
00:06:28.82\00:06:30.85
She pours icy cold water,
ice cold water on my face,
00:06:30.89\00:06:36.09
and it just feels so good.
00:06:36.12\00:06:39.09
And over my head
to keep the brain
00:06:39.13\00:06:42.70
from overheating
00:06:42.73\00:06:44.90
because you
could damage the brain
00:06:44.93\00:06:46.67
if it gets overheated.
00:06:46.70\00:06:49.10
And then also she
has a towel over my chest
00:06:49.14\00:06:53.88
to hold the heat in,
while I'm in the tub.
00:06:53.91\00:06:58.68
And then just she
takes my pulse and continues
00:06:58.71\00:07:02.85
to check my temperature.
00:07:02.88\00:07:04.22
And one day I reached 103.5
00:07:04.25\00:07:09.09
and this is the day I
was there for 25 minutes.
00:07:09.12\00:07:12.26
And so,
00:07:12.29\00:07:14.23
she kept
monitoring me pretty often,
00:07:14.26\00:07:19.30
more often than
when I was at 102.7.
00:07:19.33\00:07:23.84
And so, anyway,
00:07:23.87\00:07:27.08
then once the time is over,
00:07:27.11\00:07:29.84
she starts cooling you down,
00:07:29.88\00:07:33.11
and in the end
they hose you down
00:07:33.15\00:07:35.32
with cold water, and
you're pretty much finished
00:07:35.35\00:07:38.25
and then you go
back to your room.
00:07:38.29\00:07:40.46
And once they
check your blood pressure
00:07:40.49\00:07:42.99
and your
temperature again and make sure,
00:07:43.02\00:07:45.06
you know, your
temperature is down
00:07:45.09\00:07:46.63
after you're cold.
00:07:46.66\00:07:48.00
And then I go back to my room
00:07:48.03\00:07:49.36
and I lay under
the covers for an hour,
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.90
and continue to allow
those white blood cells
00:07:51.93\00:07:55.00
to attack any cancer cells
00:07:55.04\00:07:58.04
or whatever it needs to attack
that's foreign to the body.
00:07:58.07\00:08:01.44
Now, aside from
the fever treatments,
00:08:01.48\00:08:06.51
you received
many lectures I know,
00:08:06.55\00:08:09.35
there is about 50 of them,
00:08:09.38\00:08:11.49
and one that I get to
do have fun doing them.
00:08:11.52\00:08:16.32
You learn
things about alkalinity
00:08:16.36\00:08:19.49
and pH and such.
00:08:19.53\00:08:21.76
What would you advice
00:08:21.80\00:08:23.87
the folks watching
that maybe have cancer
00:08:23.90\00:08:28.37
as far as keeping
their alkalinity higher
00:08:28.40\00:08:31.57
their pH in balance or such.
00:08:31.61\00:08:36.31
Well, really they
have a diet for everyone.
00:08:36.34\00:08:39.98
They really don't talk about
00:08:40.02\00:08:42.42
the alkalinity so...
00:08:42.45\00:08:46.29
But you know about that.
00:08:46.32\00:08:47.66
I know about the alkalinity
because I had already started
00:08:47.69\00:08:51.09
that prior to
coming to NEWSTART...
00:08:51.13\00:08:52.73
And we talked
about the lemon drink.
00:08:52.76\00:08:54.10
But I found, yes.
00:08:54.13\00:08:57.23
I found out that everything
on the salad bar is alkaline.
00:08:57.27\00:09:03.17
Everything that they
feed us here is alkaline.
00:09:03.20\00:09:08.84
So we're getting the
right amount of carbs,
00:09:08.88\00:09:11.11
we're getting the
right amount of fat,
00:09:11.15\00:09:12.75
we're learning,
00:09:12.78\00:09:14.12
you know, how many
carbs we're supposed to eat,
00:09:14.15\00:09:16.62
how many fats
we're supposed to eat,
00:09:16.65\00:09:18.32
how many proteins,
00:09:18.35\00:09:20.06
and then you always eat a
salad as big as your head.
00:09:20.09\00:09:24.69
So you want your,
the majority of your diet
00:09:24.73\00:09:28.70
to be raw foods
00:09:28.73\00:09:30.70
that alkaline vegetables so...
00:09:30.73\00:09:36.47
Now what about the
exercise for cancer?
00:09:36.50\00:09:40.58
They recommend lots of
walking, lots of walking.
00:09:40.61\00:09:45.31
And they don't
recommend really running
00:09:45.35\00:09:47.32
because that's harder on
your bones and your joints.
00:09:47.35\00:09:52.05
You get more from walking
than you do from running.
00:09:52.09\00:09:56.22
So, yeah, we walk, we
go for digestive walks
00:09:56.26\00:10:01.10
so that your digestive
system can digest the food
00:10:01.13\00:10:06.23
that you just ate.
00:10:06.27\00:10:08.64
So you were paying
attention during these lectures.
00:10:08.67\00:10:12.07
Maybe a little bit.
00:10:12.11\00:10:13.98
Now, you didn't look like
you needed to lose any weight,
00:10:14.01\00:10:17.25
but did you lose some
weight while you're here?
00:10:17.28\00:10:19.31
I've lost 4.5 pounds
since I've been here.
00:10:19.35\00:10:21.68
And how about inches?
00:10:21.72\00:10:24.49
Yes, she just showed
me that today I lost 0.5
00:10:24.52\00:10:29.59
around my arms,
00:10:29.62\00:10:31.76
lost one around my waist,
00:10:31.79\00:10:35.86
1 inch, and 1.5 around my hips.
00:10:35.90\00:10:40.44
Was that
necessary did you think?
00:10:40.47\00:10:43.81
I didn't really
have to lose any weight,
00:10:43.84\00:10:46.11
but I really did want
to lose five more pounds
00:10:46.14\00:10:49.88
is what I wanted to
lose so I'm only shy of 0.5.
00:10:49.91\00:10:51.25
You wanted to get firm.
00:10:51.28\00:10:53.31
Okay, but you wanted to firm
up a little bit because you're,
00:10:53.35\00:10:56.48
I could see the
difference, you look stronger.
00:10:56.52\00:10:57.85
Well, I need to firm up.
00:10:57.89\00:11:00.76
Yes, we all do, don't we?
00:11:00.79\00:11:02.12
Yeah, I need to firm
up. Especially at older age.
00:11:02.16\00:11:03.96
Yeah.
00:11:03.99\00:11:05.33
Well, it's been a
delight having you here
00:11:05.36\00:11:07.50
and I just want to thank you
00:11:07.53\00:11:09.93
for your willingness
to come here and share
00:11:09.96\00:11:12.80
because you're going to
be seen all over the world.
00:11:12.83\00:11:15.60
Oh, my
goodness. Oh, my goodness.
00:11:15.64\00:11:17.87
But don't let that
bother you. Thank you so much.
00:11:17.91\00:11:20.74
Thanks, Ron. God bless.
00:11:20.78\00:11:22.11
And I'll be in
touch with you. Okay.
00:11:22.14\00:11:23.75
Thank you.
00:11:23.78\00:11:25.11
Friends, don't go away
00:11:25.15\00:11:26.48
because Dr. Gallant
will be right with us.
00:11:26.51\00:11:30.95
When we look at
the health status
00:11:30.99\00:11:32.39
of Americans today,
00:11:32.42\00:11:33.76
it's alarming to see
00:11:33.79\00:11:35.12
that 60% are either
overweight or obese.
00:11:35.16\00:11:38.26
In addition, diseases
00:11:43.57\00:11:44.90
such as type 2 diabetes,
cancer, and heart disorders
00:11:44.93\00:11:47.97
are the leading cause
of so many complications
00:11:48.00\00:11:50.44
and deaths every year.
00:11:50.47\00:11:52.14
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:11:56.41\00:11:59.11
After all, every one
in four Americans visits
00:11:59.15\00:12:02.02
a fast food restaurant daily,
00:12:02.05\00:12:03.89
and with such easy
access to quick-fix foods,
00:12:03.92\00:12:07.49
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:12:07.52\00:12:09.46
those foods actually offer.
00:12:09.49\00:12:12.29
Maybe it's the
sedentary lifestyle
00:12:12.33\00:12:14.20
and lack of exercise
00:12:14.23\00:12:15.56
that we've become so accustomed
to as a media-dependant world.
00:12:15.60\00:12:19.73
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:12:19.77\00:12:21.60
a solution has arrived.
00:12:21.64\00:12:25.81
The NEWSTART
Lifestyle Center offers
00:12:25.84\00:12:28.04
an enriching program
00:12:28.08\00:12:29.41
where patients can get
00:12:29.44\00:12:30.78
a healing of
mind, body, and soul.
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.11
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:12:33.15\00:12:35.62
the NEWSTART Center is situated
00:12:35.65\00:12:37.45
on the beautiful campus
00:12:37.49\00:12:38.82
of Weimar Center of
Health and Education
00:12:38.85\00:12:41.56
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:12:41.59\00:12:45.29
With a "whole plant
foods eaten whole" motto,
00:12:45.33\00:12:48.60
the NEWSTART Center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:12:48.63\00:12:51.83
with an emphasis
on natural foods.
00:12:51.87\00:12:54.27
The NEWSTART staff
00:12:54.30\00:12:55.64
are made up of California
Board Certified nurses,
00:12:55.67\00:12:58.84
doctors,
dietitians, and therapists
00:12:58.87\00:13:01.84
who work together to
assist each patient personally.
00:13:01.88\00:13:05.21
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:13:05.25\00:13:07.62
in the program
00:13:07.65\00:13:08.98
and are always there to
guide, advise, and encourage.
00:13:09.02\00:13:12.69
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.86
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:13:14.89\00:13:17.83
You're both in sequence,
that's good, all right.
00:13:17.86\00:13:20.73
As part of the balance program,
00:13:20.76\00:13:22.46
there is much opportunity
00:13:22.50\00:13:23.83
to get in the fair
share of physical activity
00:13:23.87\00:13:26.27
from utilizing
our fitness center
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.57
to taking a stroll
00:13:28.60\00:13:29.94
around the
peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:13:29.97\00:13:31.97
It's amazing
00:13:32.01\00:13:33.34
what a new start can do for you.
00:13:33.38\00:13:36.88
Welcome back, friends.
In our studio, Dr. Gallant.
00:13:36.91\00:13:39.85
Ron, good to see you my
friend. Good to see you too.
00:13:39.88\00:13:42.78
You know, we're going to
be talking about the C word.
00:13:42.82\00:13:46.52
And, you know, I
know that a lot of people
00:13:46.55\00:13:49.59
are afraid of cancer.
00:13:49.62\00:13:51.36
Yes. As they should be.
00:13:51.39\00:13:54.53
Is there a cure?
00:13:54.56\00:13:55.90
Is there somewhere we
can go and get radiation
00:13:55.93\00:14:00.17
and this that and at the
end all of a sudden it's gone.
00:14:00.20\00:14:03.61
Well, you know what,
I say two things to you.
00:14:03.64\00:14:06.17
The old English saying it
says an ounce of prevention
00:14:06.21\00:14:10.41
is worth a pound of cure.
00:14:10.45\00:14:12.75
So glad you said that. I
think that goes a long way.
00:14:12.78\00:14:14.82
Right.
00:14:14.85\00:14:16.18
But here's what I would
say to you about cancer.
00:14:16.22\00:14:19.75
One in every
three people get cancer.
00:14:19.79\00:14:23.29
Wow!
00:14:23.32\00:14:24.66
And one in
every six die from it.
00:14:24.69\00:14:28.76
Cancer is something that
is growing and increasing.
00:14:28.80\00:14:33.70
And there's an
article in Newsweek
00:14:33.74\00:14:35.67
from 1998 that says,
00:14:35.70\00:14:39.21
"What we know about
cancer today," 1998,
00:14:39.24\00:14:43.18
"We could
decrease the rate of cancer
00:14:43.21\00:14:45.65
if we would just
change our lifestyle,
00:14:45.68\00:14:47.18
if we would be more
on a plant-based diet."
00:14:47.22\00:14:50.55
Nineteen ninety
eight. Nineteen ninety eight.
00:14:50.59\00:14:52.75
Cancer rates have not decreased
in those last 18 years,
00:14:52.79\00:14:57.36
it continued to go up.
00:14:57.39\00:14:59.09
So we haven't
implemented what we knew.
00:14:59.13\00:15:00.93
And they were looking
at 4,500 research articles.
00:15:00.96\00:15:06.13
So I think there
is a cure for cancer,
00:15:06.17\00:15:09.84
and I think it's by lifestyle,
00:15:09.87\00:15:12.54
I think if you
have a large tumor,
00:15:12.57\00:15:14.31
you may need to debulk it,
00:15:14.34\00:15:16.71
but you can't treat cancer
and continue to live your life
00:15:16.75\00:15:21.22
the way you did
before you got cancer,
00:15:21.25\00:15:23.79
and hope that it's
not going to come back.
00:15:23.82\00:15:25.85
How would you
decrease the size of it?
00:15:25.89\00:15:28.46
I think you may
have to do surgery,
00:15:28.49\00:15:29.82
that's what I mean by debulking.
00:15:29.86\00:15:31.63
If you've got a
large enough tumor,
00:15:31.66\00:15:33.60
you may have to make it smaller,
00:15:33.63\00:15:36.00
but once you do that
I believe by God's grace
00:15:36.03\00:15:38.27
there are some natural things
00:15:38.30\00:15:39.63
we can do to help
boost your immunity
00:15:39.67\00:15:42.47
to prevent you from
continuing to have cancer.
00:15:42.50\00:15:45.71
So what's the difference,
00:15:45.74\00:15:48.01
if you have a
large tumor like this
00:15:48.04\00:15:51.61
and a small tumor like that?
00:15:51.65\00:15:54.85
It's a ratio type of thing.
00:15:54.88\00:15:57.89
Your immune system has
a certain number of cells.
00:15:57.92\00:16:01.06
If you have a smaller
space that you need to attack,
00:16:01.09\00:16:05.83
it's easier than if
you have a larger space.
00:16:05.86\00:16:08.13
I got you.
00:16:08.16\00:16:09.50
And depending on
the types of cancers,
00:16:09.53\00:16:11.00
cancers grow at different rates.
00:16:11.03\00:16:12.77
So some cancers may be growing
more quickly than others.
00:16:12.80\00:16:15.77
If you disrupt that,
00:16:15.80\00:16:18.14
then that may give
your immune system a chance
00:16:18.17\00:16:20.08
to catch up and do its job.
00:16:20.11\00:16:22.54
But you've got to put your body
in the right condition for it
00:16:22.58\00:16:27.65
to be able to work with
cancer and to overcome cancer.
00:16:27.68\00:16:32.39
Now would you
say that what we do
00:16:32.42\00:16:35.66
at the NEWSTART program
00:16:35.69\00:16:37.89
is the best treatment
00:16:37.93\00:16:39.26
for people with
cancer like Kath?
00:16:39.29\00:16:43.87
People ask me this all the time.
00:16:43.90\00:16:45.50
In fact, a few people
00:16:45.53\00:16:46.87
who I get their name
from you ask me this.
00:16:46.90\00:16:49.40
Right.
00:16:49.44\00:16:50.77
Here's what I say,
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.61
we don't formally say
00:16:52.64\00:16:54.28
that we are a
cancer treatment program,
00:16:54.31\00:16:57.68
but I will say this to people.
00:16:57.71\00:17:00.35
I believe with all my
heart the things we are doing
00:17:00.38\00:17:03.99
puts your body in
the best condition.
00:17:04.02\00:17:07.46
And if you put your
body in the best condition,
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.32
your immune system is
going to be optimized.
00:17:09.36\00:17:12.69
And that can help
you to overcome cancer.
00:17:12.73\00:17:17.17
But you've got to
do things differently
00:17:17.20\00:17:19.83
than you did before.
00:17:19.87\00:17:21.20
So you can't eat those pork ribs
00:17:21.24\00:17:23.47
and things like that?
00:17:23.51\00:17:26.98
Eighty percent of the cancers
00:17:27.01\00:17:28.34
that we see in
this country today
00:17:28.38\00:17:31.51
can be prevented
00:17:31.55\00:17:33.21
by four simple
lifestyle changes.
00:17:33.25\00:17:37.95
Okay, write this down,
folks. Write this down.
00:17:37.99\00:17:39.99
Here they are. Here they are.
00:17:40.02\00:17:41.49
First one is a plant-based diet.
00:17:41.52\00:17:43.36
Plant-based, meaning anything
that grows in the ground.
00:17:43.39\00:17:46.36
Correct. No animal products.
00:17:46.39\00:17:48.10
Right. Okay.
00:17:48.13\00:17:49.46
No animal
products. No animal products.
00:17:49.50\00:17:51.07
Second one is no
alcohol. No alcohol.
00:17:51.10\00:17:54.07
Not even a little glass of wine.
00:17:54.10\00:17:55.44
Not even a little bit.
00:17:55.47\00:17:56.81
Look at the Italians,
00:17:56.84\00:17:58.17
they drink wine
and everything is fine.
00:17:58.21\00:17:59.54
I know. Not even a little bit.
00:17:59.57\00:18:01.51
The next one is no
smoking. No smoking.
00:18:01.54\00:18:03.31
No smoking.
00:18:03.35\00:18:05.68
And the last one
00:18:05.71\00:18:07.52
which some people
think to be too hard
00:18:07.55\00:18:10.92
is a normal body weight.
00:18:10.95\00:18:14.89
You mean, normal
in what BMI and...
00:18:14.92\00:18:17.13
Normal for your size,
00:18:17.16\00:18:19.19
normal for your bone
structure and your height.
00:18:19.23\00:18:23.10
And how would
you determine that?
00:18:23.13\00:18:25.20
By bone structure and height.
00:18:25.23\00:18:27.17
How big your bones
are what your frame is,
00:18:27.20\00:18:29.87
and how tall you are
gives us a range of roughly
00:18:29.90\00:18:32.74
where you should be to
be a normal body weight.
00:18:32.77\00:18:35.41
And I believe by God's grace,
by changing your lifestyle,
00:18:35.44\00:18:38.45
by exercising, by
doing things differently.
00:18:38.48\00:18:42.15
All of us, I repeat,
00:18:42.18\00:18:44.49
all of us can have
a normal body weight.
00:18:44.52\00:18:48.29
And, you know, you've just given
00:18:48.32\00:18:49.66
a prescription
for not only people
00:18:49.69\00:18:52.56
to avoid cancer,
but most diseases.
00:18:52.59\00:18:55.03
That's right.
00:18:55.06\00:18:56.40
And, you know, our viewers need
to hear that again, and again,
00:18:56.43\00:18:59.80
and again.
00:18:59.83\00:19:01.17
I think they do just about
in every one of our programs
00:19:01.20\00:19:04.71
that if they're eating
right, meaning plant-based,
00:19:04.74\00:19:08.54
whole foods eating whole,
and eliminating animal product,
00:19:08.58\00:19:13.38
and cutting out
the sugar in the pies,
00:19:13.42\00:19:16.02
and the ice cream, and
all those kinds of things,
00:19:16.05\00:19:19.02
that will
actually get healthier.
00:19:19.05\00:19:21.22
Yes. That's amazing to me.
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.66
It is.
00:19:23.69\00:19:25.03
Just it's contrary to everything
00:19:25.06\00:19:26.80
I was taught
00:19:26.83\00:19:28.16
because everybody
needs milk, don't they?
00:19:28.20\00:19:31.80
You know that commercial. Yes.
00:19:31.83\00:19:34.04
Just irritates me and
rings in my ears sometimes.
00:19:34.07\00:19:36.44
Yeah.
00:19:36.47\00:19:37.81
And the milk, what do
you have to say about milk?
00:19:37.84\00:19:41.14
That's a whole another program,
00:19:41.18\00:19:44.11
but honestly milk
suppresses our immunity.
00:19:44.15\00:19:49.75
Our immune system
needs to be optimal.
00:19:49.78\00:19:52.69
We're talking about cow's
milk. Talking about cow's milk.
00:19:52.72\00:19:55.39
But it applies to
any other animal milk
00:19:55.42\00:19:58.36
because then people will say,
"Oh, can I drink goat's milk?
00:19:58.39\00:20:01.40
Or can I drink something else?"
Applies to any animal milk.
00:20:01.43\00:20:05.33
Give you a quick
example, talking about cancer,
00:20:05.37\00:20:07.57
and we need to
talk about Kath here,
00:20:07.60\00:20:09.20
but talking about cancer.
00:20:09.24\00:20:11.77
Women who have breast
cancer have three times
00:20:11.81\00:20:15.54
more bovine leukemia virus
00:20:15.58\00:20:19.08
than women who
don't have breast cancer.
00:20:19.11\00:20:20.45
Wow!
00:20:20.48\00:20:21.82
Bovine leukemia virus
causes leukemia in the cows
00:20:21.85\00:20:24.82
and is found in
their meat, and their milk,
00:20:24.85\00:20:27.92
and it causes
disease in the animals.
00:20:27.96\00:20:29.99
Now we're starting to see it
00:20:30.03\00:20:31.36
has an impact in
the role of cancer
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.43
in human beings.
00:20:33.46\00:20:35.43
Ouch! I didn't mean to bring up.
00:20:35.46\00:20:37.30
No, no, no. But
let's talk about Kath.
00:20:37.33\00:20:39.40
You know, Kath...
00:20:39.43\00:20:40.77
We only have
about another minute.
00:20:40.80\00:20:42.14
So I got to do it
quick. Kath had breast cancer.
00:20:42.17\00:20:46.37
Had to have
bilateral mastectomies,
00:20:46.41\00:20:49.78
and after the
surgery she noticed
00:20:49.81\00:20:51.91
that she had two lumps
on each side of her chest.
00:20:51.95\00:20:56.65
She shared that with us. Yeah.
00:20:56.69\00:20:59.19
Today, she told me
that on the right side
00:20:59.22\00:21:02.39
those lumps have gone,
00:21:02.42\00:21:04.19
and on the left side
they're getting smaller
00:21:04.23\00:21:07.20
so what have we
done to help Kath.
00:21:07.23\00:21:09.33
Well, what we have done is this.
00:21:09.36\00:21:11.53
We've placed her
on a plant-based diet.
00:21:11.57\00:21:13.50
We've increased her exercise.
00:21:13.54\00:21:15.27
We've changed her lifestyle,
00:21:15.30\00:21:16.87
and we've done some
fever treatments for her.
00:21:16.91\00:21:19.61
Fever treatments are
brutal. They can be brutal.
00:21:19.64\00:21:22.71
Absolutely.
00:21:22.74\00:21:24.08
And for our guests at home,
00:21:24.11\00:21:25.45
just so you
understand what that means.
00:21:25.48\00:21:26.82
We put you in a hot
bath and keep your head cool,
00:21:26.85\00:21:29.45
put a cool rag, and
cool water on your head,
00:21:29.48\00:21:31.85
but we put you in a hot bath
00:21:31.89\00:21:33.22
and actually raise
your body temperature
00:21:33.25\00:21:35.39
as if you have a fever.
00:21:35.42\00:21:38.56
And why do we get
fevers when we get sick
00:21:38.59\00:21:41.16
because it helps
our immune system
00:21:41.20\00:21:42.93
to fight what we're fighting.
00:21:42.96\00:21:45.03
And so by giving
her a fever bath,
00:21:45.07\00:21:46.94
it's helping her immune system
00:21:46.97\00:21:48.30
to fight the
cancer that she has.
00:21:48.34\00:21:52.61
Well, doc, we ran out of time.
00:21:52.64\00:21:55.04
I want to thank
you again for coming.
00:21:55.08\00:21:57.68
It's always a
pleasure to have you here.
00:21:57.71\00:21:59.05
Good to be with you, Ron.
00:21:59.08\00:22:00.42
And, friends, thank
you, but don't go away
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.58
we have an
important tip for you.
00:22:02.62\00:22:07.42
Four of our biggest
diseases and our biggest killers
00:22:07.46\00:22:10.59
are the so-called
lifestyle diseases,
00:22:10.63\00:22:12.89
obesity, heart disease,
00:22:12.93\00:22:14.36
high blood
pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
00:22:14.40\00:22:17.20
For years doctors recognized
00:22:17.23\00:22:18.77
that these diseases
share many risk factors
00:22:18.80\00:22:21.30
and even causes.
00:22:21.34\00:22:22.87
Some even began to suspect
that these diseases were,
00:22:22.90\00:22:25.37
in fact, symptoms
00:22:25.41\00:22:26.74
of a larger problem or syndrome.
00:22:26.78\00:22:29.34
In 1988 Gerald
Reaven a researcher
00:22:29.38\00:22:31.75
at Stanford University suggested
00:22:31.78\00:22:33.88
that these lifestyle diseases
00:22:33.92\00:22:35.32
were actually
various manifestations
00:22:35.35\00:22:37.39
of what he called syndrome X.
00:22:37.42\00:22:39.89
He attributed
everything to a root cause,
00:22:39.92\00:22:42.02
elevated blood insulin
levels, and insulin resistance.
00:22:42.06\00:22:45.89
His theories have
since been well studied
00:22:45.93\00:22:48.06
in medical literature.
00:22:48.10\00:22:49.86
Today syndrome X is
known as metabolic syndrome.
00:22:49.90\00:22:54.20
Metabolic syndrome is actually
a compilation of risk factors
00:22:54.24\00:22:57.84
that have an underlying
denominator insulin resistance.
00:22:57.87\00:23:00.94
What is insulin resistance?
00:23:00.98\00:23:02.58
Insulin is
typically used to get glucose
00:23:02.61\00:23:04.78
from the
bloodstream into the tissues.
00:23:04.81\00:23:07.52
If someone has
insulin resistance,
00:23:07.55\00:23:09.68
the pancreas has to work harder
to actually get the glucose
00:23:09.72\00:23:14.49
into the
tissues via the insulin.
00:23:14.52\00:23:16.89
As a result it cranks out higher
00:23:16.93\00:23:18.93
and higher levels of
insulin to do the job.
00:23:18.96\00:23:21.23
The excess insulin, and
the excess blood glucose
00:23:21.26\00:23:24.57
actually both
wreak havoc in the body.
00:23:24.60\00:23:26.94
And the process is then
termed as metabolic syndrome.
00:23:26.97\00:23:30.54
Five criteria for
metabolic syndrome
00:23:30.57\00:23:32.31
include number one,
00:23:32.34\00:23:34.28
a fasting blood
sugar greater than 99.
00:23:34.31\00:23:37.61
Number two, an HDL
less than 40 in a male
00:23:37.65\00:23:41.12
or less than 50 in a female.
00:23:41.15\00:23:43.85
We're at number three,
00:23:43.89\00:23:45.22
a waist circumference
greater than 40 inches
00:23:45.25\00:23:47.59
in a male or greater
than 35 inches in a female.
00:23:47.62\00:23:51.36
Number four,
triglycerides greater than 150
00:23:51.39\00:23:55.43
or taking medication
to lower triglycerides.
00:23:55.46\00:23:59.27
Number five, a
systolic blood pressure
00:23:59.30\00:24:01.17
greater than 130
00:24:01.20\00:24:02.97
or a diastolic blood
pressure greater than 85.
00:24:03.00\00:24:06.04
What is significant
about this is that most people
00:24:06.07\00:24:08.18
do not start
medication are not told
00:24:08.21\00:24:10.05
that they have
problems with hypertension,
00:24:10.08\00:24:12.08
until their blood pressure
is greater than 140 over 90.
00:24:12.11\00:24:16.45
Criteria also
include taking medications
00:24:16.48\00:24:18.79
for the blood pressure
00:24:18.82\00:24:20.16
even if your blood pressure
is lower on the medication.
00:24:20.19\00:24:23.22
Although metabolic
syndrome continues to spread,
00:24:23.26\00:24:25.96
we have the
knowledge to stop it.
00:24:25.99\00:24:28.06
And it boils down to this,
00:24:28.10\00:24:29.83
too much input
and not enough output.
00:24:29.86\00:24:32.93
More time at the table,
00:24:32.97\00:24:34.30
than time with
your walking shoes on.
00:24:34.34\00:24:36.57
Not only the amount
of food we're eating,
00:24:36.60\00:24:38.47
but the type of food
00:24:38.51\00:24:39.84
we're choosing to
eat is harming us.
00:24:39.87\00:24:41.51
Along with reducing quantity,
00:24:41.54\00:24:43.45
we need to focus on the
quality of our calories.
00:24:43.48\00:24:46.28
Additionally, we find
that caloric restriction
00:24:46.31\00:24:49.45
significantly helps to reverse
00:24:49.48\00:24:52.59
this process of
insulin resistance.
00:24:52.62\00:24:55.02
Oftentimes we'll think
that caloric restriction
00:24:55.06\00:24:57.16
just means not
eating a lot of food.
00:24:57.19\00:24:59.63
Caloric restriction
simply means eating good food
00:24:59.66\00:25:03.30
that's not dense.
00:25:03.33\00:25:04.70
This means eating
high fiber low fat foods
00:25:04.73\00:25:08.47
that are not
significantly processed.
00:25:08.50\00:25:10.54
And processed,
nutrient dense food,
00:25:10.57\00:25:12.91
low in fat and sugar,
00:25:12.94\00:25:14.34
but high in vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, and fiber.
00:25:14.38\00:25:17.85
It doesn't have to
be boring or tasteless.
00:25:17.88\00:25:20.45
Not only can these
types of foods be delicious,
00:25:20.48\00:25:23.18
but they'll satisfy you longer,
and you'll feel full sooner,
00:25:23.22\00:25:27.19
meaning, you'll
eat less as a result.
00:25:27.22\00:25:30.33
Vegan and vegetarian
diets have been shown
00:25:30.36\00:25:32.69
to reduce the risk
of metabolic syndrome
00:25:32.73\00:25:34.76
because they place a
strong focus on plant foods.
00:25:34.80\00:25:38.87
In contrast
research has repeatedly shown
00:25:38.90\00:25:41.10
that the consumption of
animal products increases
00:25:41.14\00:25:43.54
the risk of many diseases,
including metabolic syndrome.
00:25:43.57\00:25:47.71
Fruits, vegetables,
00:25:47.74\00:25:49.24
whole grains, legumes, and nuts,
00:25:49.28\00:25:51.11
they're the fuels
00:25:51.15\00:25:52.48
that our bodies
were designed to use.
00:25:52.51\00:25:54.72
Is it any wonder
that they all reduce
00:25:54.75\00:25:56.65
the risk of metabolic syndrome?
00:25:56.69\00:25:58.85
Besides the energy
we put into our bodies,
00:25:58.89\00:26:00.86
we need to focus on our output.
00:26:00.89\00:26:02.62
You may have heard
it a million times,
00:26:02.66\00:26:04.33
but exercise is good for you.
00:26:04.36\00:26:06.83
Besides burning
off the extra calories,
00:26:06.86\00:26:09.10
exercise helps combat disease.
00:26:09.13\00:26:11.03
Metabolic
syndrome can be reversed.
00:26:11.07\00:26:12.90
One of the most agreed
upon interventions is exercise.
00:26:12.93\00:26:17.21
We know that a person
00:26:17.24\00:26:18.57
who exercises at
least five days a week,
00:26:18.61\00:26:21.14
30 minutes,
00:26:21.18\00:26:22.51
and this is mainly
cardiovascular exercise
00:26:22.54\00:26:25.11
not just weight
lifting or resistance training
00:26:25.15\00:26:26.98
which is important will be able
00:26:27.02\00:26:30.05
to reverse the
metabolic syndrome.
00:26:30.09\00:26:33.19
When we choose to exercise
and live active lifestyles,
00:26:33.22\00:26:36.56
our bodies naturally become
more responsive to insulin.
00:26:36.59\00:26:40.30
Exercise also
helps us lose weight,
00:26:40.33\00:26:42.26
and these two
things combined mean
00:26:42.30\00:26:44.77
that regular
exercise is a very powerful
00:26:44.80\00:26:47.20
means of fighting
metabolic syndrome.
00:26:47.24\00:26:50.17
If you have metabolic syndrome
or at risk of developing it,
00:26:50.21\00:26:54.44
don't wait to start treating it,
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.28
the lifestyle changes
00:26:56.31\00:26:57.65
you make will have
a tremendous benefit.
00:26:57.68\00:26:59.78
You'll feel
better, be healthier,
00:26:59.81\00:27:01.98
and happier as a result.
