Hi, friends,
00:01:12.43\00:01:13.77
and welcome to another
edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:13.80\00:01:16.44
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.47\00:01:19.14
In our studio today, I
have a wonderful man, a rabbi,
00:01:19.17\00:01:23.45
by the name of Oscar Neuman
all the way from New York City.
00:01:23.48\00:01:28.62
Let's take a look at
when Oscar first arrived.
00:01:28.65\00:01:32.62
I'm here because I
was here a year ago,
00:01:32.65\00:01:36.02
and you guys turned around
00:01:36.06\00:01:40.36
all the numbers
and everything on me.
00:01:40.40\00:01:43.00
And then I fell off
the wagon in between.
00:01:43.03\00:01:45.93
So I'm back now to...
00:01:45.97\00:01:48.57
This will be for the life.
00:01:48.60\00:01:50.87
I'm on Carvedilol,
00:01:50.91\00:01:54.98
Zetia, and insulin.
00:01:55.01\00:01:58.01
I want to see... And
I'm also on dialysis.
00:01:58.05\00:02:01.02
So I want to see...
00:02:01.05\00:02:02.38
I'm hoping that we can
get me off the dialysis.
00:02:02.42\00:02:05.12
That's the
major goal that I have
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.16
so that I can get home,
00:02:08.19\00:02:10.06
and go to the
doctors, and tell them,
00:02:10.09\00:02:12.53
"You guys take up my
port, I don't want it."
00:02:12.56\00:02:15.10
Welcome back, friends.
00:02:18.57\00:02:19.90
In our studio,
how are you, rabbi?
00:02:19.93\00:02:22.30
Thank God.
00:02:22.34\00:02:23.67
Thank God. Praise God. Yes.
00:02:23.71\00:02:25.17
You're here, and you're alive.
00:02:25.21\00:02:26.57
Yes.
00:02:26.61\00:02:27.94
So, you know, we know that
00:02:27.98\00:02:30.18
you've been dealing
with a lot of issues
00:02:30.21\00:02:32.21
while you've been here.
00:02:32.25\00:02:34.28
And many of those
issues have been taken care of.
00:02:34.32\00:02:38.29
But tell us,
since you've been here,
00:02:38.32\00:02:40.89
have you've been taken
off medications of any kind?
00:02:40.92\00:02:43.76
All the medications
have been taken off.
00:02:43.79\00:02:46.70
What about
medications were you taking?
00:02:46.73\00:02:48.43
I was on Zetia, Carvedilol,
00:02:48.46\00:02:54.30
some water pills, a
whole bunch of other...
00:02:54.34\00:02:57.94
and then insulin.
00:02:57.97\00:02:59.47
And insulin.
00:02:59.51\00:03:01.04
So you're no
longer diabetic either.
00:03:01.08\00:03:03.78
Well, the
numbers are showing good.
00:03:03.81\00:03:05.91
Okay, good.
00:03:05.95\00:03:07.28
Good, good, good.
00:03:07.32\00:03:08.65
Now we also know
that you had an episode.
00:03:08.68\00:03:12.59
You were here about
a year ago as I recall.
00:03:12.62\00:03:15.36
Yes.
00:03:15.39\00:03:16.83
And you were doing well.
00:03:16.86\00:03:18.46
Yes.
00:03:18.49\00:03:20.03
Tell us what happened.
00:03:20.06\00:03:21.40
When you left here,
you were doing so good.
00:03:21.43\00:03:25.90
I use that word, but
tell us what happened.
00:03:25.93\00:03:29.50
Well, what happened was that
00:03:29.54\00:03:33.34
where I went for
the High Holidays,
00:03:33.38\00:03:36.28
the people over there
00:03:36.31\00:03:38.61
didn't have any room
for my stuff in the fridge.
00:03:38.65\00:03:42.25
So I was stuck,
and I had no choice,
00:03:42.28\00:03:45.82
and I ate what they gave me.
00:03:45.85\00:03:47.19
And once I started, that was it,
00:03:47.22\00:03:49.39
I fell off the wagon.
00:03:49.42\00:03:52.19
Wow. Yeah.
00:03:52.23\00:03:53.96
And falling off the
wagon all of a sudden,
00:03:54.00\00:03:57.83
you had an episode,
00:03:57.87\00:03:59.50
and you had to
have a shunt put in.
00:03:59.53\00:04:01.60
Yeah. And where is that shunt?
00:04:01.64\00:04:04.04
It's not a shunt
yet, it's over here.
00:04:04.07\00:04:06.21
I have to go for a
shunt when I get back.
00:04:06.24\00:04:08.84
Okay.
00:04:08.88\00:04:10.21
And they put that in
there to do a dialysis?
00:04:10.25\00:04:14.12
Yes.
00:04:14.15\00:04:15.48
Tell us about that dialysis.
00:04:15.52\00:04:16.85
Well, I hate it.
00:04:16.89\00:04:18.22
Yeah.
00:04:18.25\00:04:19.59
It's time-consuming,
and it's a lot of hours
00:04:19.62\00:04:23.29
that you have to
go and a lot of days,
00:04:23.32\00:04:25.79
and I just want
to get off of it.
00:04:25.83\00:04:29.80
And that's why I
decided to come back over here
00:04:29.83\00:04:32.60
to try to get off of it.
00:04:32.63\00:04:34.20
And so your kidney function,
00:04:34.24\00:04:35.84
has it improved
since you've been here?
00:04:35.87\00:04:37.21
As thought, it
did a little, yes.
00:04:37.24\00:04:38.57
Okay.
00:04:38.61\00:04:39.94
And now you know what you got
to do when you get back home.
00:04:39.97\00:04:41.88
Definitely.
00:04:41.91\00:04:44.08
Rabbi, I asked you this
before the interview started,
00:04:44.11\00:04:47.42
I don't mean to
put you on the spot.
00:04:47.45\00:04:49.42
You don't have to answer
this, but I got to ask it.
00:04:49.45\00:04:53.29
How does it feel being a rabbi
00:04:53.32\00:04:56.19
around all
these Christians here,
00:04:56.22\00:04:58.93
the doctors, and the
staff that want to pray on you?
00:04:58.96\00:05:02.56
Is that all right?
00:05:02.60\00:05:05.00
It's fine.
00:05:05.03\00:05:06.57
So there's no issues with that?
00:05:06.60\00:05:08.94
No.
00:05:08.97\00:05:10.31
And I said in response to you,
00:05:10.34\00:05:11.81
I said, "You know, if I
was with a group of Jews
00:05:11.84\00:05:16.85
and the rabbi
wanted to pray with me,
00:05:16.88\00:05:19.15
I would consider
that a blessing as well."
00:05:19.18\00:05:22.18
As we have with people
from all over the world.
00:05:22.22\00:05:24.85
We have Muslims that come here,
00:05:24.89\00:05:27.02
and people of
various religious backgrounds
00:05:27.06\00:05:29.82
and Buddhist and such,
00:05:29.86\00:05:31.86
and they all
respond very favorably
00:05:31.89\00:05:35.66
to our Christian campus,
00:05:35.70\00:05:41.87
if you will.
00:05:41.90\00:05:43.54
So what's the best part
of this program for you?
00:05:43.57\00:05:48.71
The best part of this
program is learning the foods,
00:05:48.74\00:05:53.68
the right foods what to eat,
00:05:53.72\00:05:56.55
and the exercise
that should be taken.
00:05:56.58\00:06:00.22
And if I continue
that, God willing,
00:06:00.26\00:06:02.32
I should be able to
get myself back in shape.
00:06:02.36\00:06:05.59
Now the right foods,
00:06:05.63\00:06:08.06
what do you mean
by the right foods?
00:06:08.10\00:06:10.10
Well, plant-based
versus the American diet.
00:06:10.13\00:06:14.30
Yes.
00:06:14.34\00:06:15.67
And the American diet, as
of now, is dead by me. Yes.
00:06:15.70\00:06:19.71
And many people who are
eating that American diet,
00:06:19.74\00:06:24.88
whatever it consists of,
some of them are finding out
00:06:24.91\00:06:28.85
because we have a million
or a million and a half...
00:06:28.88\00:06:32.09
What am I talking
about, a hundred million people
00:06:32.12\00:06:34.79
that are prediabetic
don't even know it. Right.
00:06:34.82\00:06:37.99
And it's because of the foods.
00:06:38.03\00:06:41.10
You know, when I
was in high school,
00:06:41.13\00:06:43.10
we had a machine that you can go
00:06:43.13\00:06:45.73
and get something out of.
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.34
There were
apples in that machine.
00:06:48.37\00:06:50.51
Nobody took it.
00:06:50.54\00:06:52.11
Well, a few of us did
whenever you're hungry enough.
00:06:52.14\00:06:55.38
But now they got candy
machines, soda machines,
00:06:55.41\00:06:59.41
but I understand
there's a big push
00:06:59.45\00:07:01.05
to remove those.
00:07:01.08\00:07:02.42
Yes.
00:07:02.45\00:07:04.49
So, rabbi, when you
get back to New York,
00:07:04.52\00:07:07.12
when you get back home,
00:07:07.16\00:07:10.16
will you be teaching
family and friends about...
00:07:10.19\00:07:12.89
I'm going to try.
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.10
It's a tough nut to crack.
00:07:15.13\00:07:16.46
It is a tough nut, isn't it?
00:07:16.50\00:07:18.87
'Cause they're
all rather healthy.
00:07:18.90\00:07:20.70
Well, they think they
are. They think they are.
00:07:20.74\00:07:23.71
And before you have an
episode, everything's okay.
00:07:23.74\00:07:26.27
Yes.
00:07:26.31\00:07:27.64
All right, so Dr. Lukens
has been following up with you
00:07:27.68\00:07:32.38
for about a year.
00:07:32.41\00:07:33.75
Yeah.
00:07:33.78\00:07:35.12
As well as myself.
00:07:35.15\00:07:36.48
And now Dr. Gallant is...
00:07:36.52\00:07:39.09
Also on the board.
00:07:39.12\00:07:40.86
He's on board with us. Yes.
00:07:40.89\00:07:43.06
And so we're
going to be interviewing
00:07:43.09\00:07:44.73
Dr. Lukens and Dr. Gallant
00:07:44.76\00:07:47.50
and discussing
some technical issues
00:07:47.53\00:07:52.03
with regards to
your... kidney failure,
00:07:52.07\00:07:58.24
excuse me, diabetes
keeps coming up in my head,
00:07:58.27\00:08:01.48
but you're no longer diabetic.
00:08:01.51\00:08:04.75
So any words of wisdom
00:08:04.78\00:08:09.92
that you can share
with our viewers about...
00:08:09.95\00:08:13.36
People who are on dialysis
00:08:13.39\00:08:16.46
or starting with kidney failure,
00:08:16.49\00:08:19.43
is there something you
can say to encourage them?
00:08:19.46\00:08:21.96
Definitely.
00:08:22.00\00:08:23.33
They should definitely
call over here at NEWSTART
00:08:23.37\00:08:28.07
and to get on board and
to get themselves into shape
00:08:28.10\00:08:31.87
and to get off all medications,
00:08:31.91\00:08:34.41
which I think would be
the greatest thing for people.
00:08:34.44\00:08:37.41
Well, since you brought
it up, pick up the phone,
00:08:37.45\00:08:40.45
and give us a
call at 800-525-9192,
00:08:40.48\00:08:46.22
and ask for Ron, and
I'll be glad to assist you
00:08:46.25\00:08:49.72
with your situation.
00:08:49.76\00:08:51.09
If you can't be here,
00:08:51.13\00:08:52.46
maybe I can coach
you over the phone.
00:08:52.49\00:08:55.03
But I recommend,
as the rabbi has,
00:08:55.06\00:08:57.80
to get here, to receive
the services that we have
00:08:57.83\00:09:03.10
that people don't
have to be diabetic,
00:09:03.14\00:09:06.24
they don't have to
be with kidney failure.
00:09:06.27\00:09:09.68
And I'm so glad
that you got here.
00:09:09.71\00:09:13.18
We were a little worried
00:09:13.21\00:09:14.55
whether you'd
make it back or not.
00:09:14.58\00:09:16.32
Me too.
00:09:16.35\00:09:17.69
Yeah, I know you were
00:09:17.72\00:09:19.05
when we talked
a couple of times.
00:09:19.09\00:09:20.92
But, rabbi, we'll be praying
for you while you're here yet
00:09:20.96\00:09:27.03
and when you get back home.
00:09:27.06\00:09:31.73
Now the food, you don't
have any issues with, right?
00:09:31.77\00:09:36.07
No.
00:09:36.10\00:09:37.44
If the same
situation were to happen again,
00:09:37.47\00:09:40.94
were you are at a service
00:09:40.98\00:09:44.68
where only foods that you
shouldn't eat are provided,
00:09:44.71\00:09:48.42
what do you do?
00:09:48.45\00:09:49.85
I'm not going to go there.
00:09:49.88\00:09:51.89
Well, for instance, I
remember my old Jewish partner
00:09:51.92\00:09:55.99
used to have lox and bagels.
00:09:56.02\00:09:58.33
That's out of the question.
00:09:58.36\00:09:59.69
You can have the bagel maybe.
00:09:59.73\00:10:01.06
Yeah. But not lox.
00:10:01.10\00:10:02.43
Yeah, but not the lox.
00:10:02.46\00:10:03.80
Not the cream
cheese and the lox.
00:10:03.83\00:10:05.17
No.
00:10:05.20\00:10:06.53
So we know that proteins
are not good for the kidneys.
00:10:06.57\00:10:08.80
No. Yeah.
00:10:08.84\00:10:10.71
Well, Oscar, I want to thank you
00:10:10.74\00:10:13.78
and bless you, my brother.
00:10:13.81\00:10:16.48
And I know that all
things are possible with God,
00:10:16.51\00:10:20.42
and He'll be
watching after you I'm sure,
00:10:20.45\00:10:22.78
and we have a lot of
people here praying for you.
00:10:22.82\00:10:25.29
So thank you again.
00:10:25.32\00:10:26.65
Thank you too and God bless you.
00:10:26.69\00:10:28.26
And God bless you, rabbi.
00:10:28.29\00:10:29.62
Thank you.
00:10:29.66\00:10:30.99
Friends, don't go away
00:10:31.03\00:10:32.36
'cause Dr. Gallant and
Dr. Lukens are up next.
00:10:32.39\00:10:35.70
Every year in America
00:10:39.80\00:10:41.14
there are over
one million deaths
00:10:41.17\00:10:42.50
because of type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:10:42.54\00:10:45.51
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:10:45.54\00:10:47.88
That's six and a half
747s crashing every day.
00:10:47.91\00:10:51.45
What's even worse is
that the fix is easy.
00:10:51.48\00:10:54.88
It's your lifestyle.
00:10:54.92\00:10:56.25
Wouldn't it be nice
00:10:56.28\00:10:57.62
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:10:57.65\00:10:59.69
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:10:59.72\00:11:02.52
Obesity and diabetes
00:11:02.56\00:11:03.89
are the cause of over a
million deaths per year.
00:11:03.93\00:11:06.83
Most diseases are reversible
00:11:06.86\00:11:08.90
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:11:08.93\00:11:11.83
especially type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:11:11.87\00:11:15.24
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.37
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

Welcome back, friends,
00:11:42.00\00:11:43.33
help me welcome Dr.
Gallant and Dr. Lukens.
00:11:43.37\00:11:47.07
Good to see you, gentlemen.
00:11:47.10\00:11:48.44
Nice to be here, Ron.
00:11:48.47\00:11:49.80
You know, this is the first time
00:11:49.84\00:11:51.17
we've had two docs in one room.
00:11:51.21\00:11:53.88
And what do you think we
call two docs in one room?
00:11:53.91\00:11:57.45
A paradox.
00:11:57.48\00:12:00.42
I had to say that. Yeah.
00:12:00.45\00:12:01.98
Anyway, right over to Oscar,
00:12:02.02\00:12:04.79
why don't we start
with you, Dr. Roger?
00:12:04.82\00:12:06.65
Sure.
00:12:06.69\00:12:08.02
And, you know, what I'd
like the viewers to know
00:12:08.06\00:12:12.16
this is the second time
he's here, it's no secret.
00:12:12.19\00:12:14.90
Yeah. He's
already expressed that.
00:12:14.93\00:12:17.60
And maybe he waited
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.50
a little bit too
long to get back here.
00:12:19.53\00:12:21.47
Can you tell us a
little bit about that?
00:12:21.50\00:12:22.84
You know, he was here
in one January of one year
00:12:22.87\00:12:26.47
and came back
about a year later.
00:12:26.51\00:12:28.54
But when he was
here, things went so well.
00:12:28.58\00:12:30.68
He was doing so
well, he went home
00:12:30.71\00:12:32.81
and actually did
well for a little while.
00:12:32.85\00:12:35.42
And then he started to
backtrack a little bit,
00:12:35.45\00:12:39.25
started to slip a little bit,
00:12:39.29\00:12:41.36
and his health
started to deteriorate.
00:12:41.39\00:12:45.53
And it's unfortunate
that he waited to come back
00:12:45.56\00:12:48.86
until he had actually
been put on dialysis, you know,
00:12:48.90\00:12:52.80
because when he was here,
00:12:52.83\00:12:54.24
his kidney
function was improving,
00:12:54.27\00:12:56.71
his overall health,
his diabetes was improving,
00:12:56.74\00:12:59.84
and he was getting better. Yes.
00:12:59.87\00:13:02.21
And it's so unfortunate
that he waited until this point
00:13:02.24\00:13:04.85
to come back.
00:13:04.88\00:13:06.21
Now I know, Dr. Lukens,
00:13:06.25\00:13:07.68
you had been following up
with Oscar over the last year.
00:13:07.72\00:13:11.69
In fact, you and
I have talked to him
00:13:11.72\00:13:13.66
on a number of occasions.
00:13:13.69\00:13:15.72
And is it true that
people who are on dialysis
00:13:15.76\00:13:20.13
can oftentimes,
maybe not always,
00:13:20.16\00:13:23.00
but oftentimes
get off of dialysis
00:13:23.03\00:13:26.37
and their kidneys will improve
00:13:26.40\00:13:28.70
if they make a lifestyle change?
00:13:28.74\00:13:30.07
In the medical profession,
that is an absolute falsehood
00:13:30.11\00:13:34.38
and doesn't happen.
00:13:34.41\00:13:35.74
Yes. Yeah.
00:13:35.78\00:13:37.45
And in our profession?
00:13:37.48\00:13:38.95
Well, we've seen...
00:13:38.98\00:13:40.82
This is something that
00:13:40.85\00:13:42.18
I was down at
Loma Linda University
00:13:42.22\00:13:43.55
with Dr. Souter Blum,
and he was my attending back
00:13:43.59\00:13:48.09
when I was in medical school,
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.63
and Dr. Gallant
remembers him as well.
00:13:50.66\00:13:51.99
Yes.
00:13:52.03\00:13:53.36
Very fine
Christian, wonderful man,
00:13:53.40\00:13:56.00
and I said, "You know,
00:13:56.03\00:13:57.37
I hear the latest thing is
that there's a heart-kidney axis
00:13:57.40\00:14:02.34
and there's a
kidney-heart axis."
00:14:02.37\00:14:05.44
And he said,
"There's five of them.
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.54
There's two
things with the kidneys,
00:14:07.58\00:14:10.78
but two things with the heart,
and then some noxious things
00:14:10.81\00:14:14.45
that comes along
and poisons your kidney,
00:14:14.48\00:14:17.45
you could say it that way."
00:14:17.49\00:14:19.35
And the thing is is that Oscar,
Rabbi Neuman, his was cardiac
00:14:19.39\00:14:26.26
and when he
went back to Brooklyn
00:14:26.29\00:14:30.07
to see his
doctors, they were shocked
00:14:30.10\00:14:34.04
because there's a
test that you can do
00:14:34.07\00:14:36.60
to show whether the person
has congestive heart failure
00:14:36.64\00:14:40.78
and if it's over
500, you have it,
00:14:40.81\00:14:43.04
and his was 87,000.
00:14:43.08\00:14:45.15
Whoa.
00:14:45.18\00:14:46.51
And they said, you know, that...
00:14:46.55\00:14:47.88
So I asked him,
"Well, what do they think?"
00:14:47.92\00:14:49.25
And they said,
"Well, we don't understand."
00:14:49.28\00:14:51.19
They don't
understand what's happening,
00:14:51.22\00:14:53.25
but you're getting better
and this can't happen you see,
00:14:53.29\00:14:56.39
'cause he wouldn't
take the medicines,
00:14:56.42\00:14:57.76
he wouldn't even take Lasix.
00:14:57.79\00:14:59.23
I would have had
him on some Lasix.
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.06
But the next
time they checked it,
00:15:01.10\00:15:03.26
it was less
than a third of that.
00:15:03.30\00:15:05.57
But then the trouble is...
00:15:05.60\00:15:06.97
And I want to talk directly
00:15:07.00\00:15:10.14
to the people that are watching.
00:15:10.17\00:15:12.04
This program will make you
feel so good in three months
00:15:12.07\00:15:17.78
that you'll think, "I'm over it
00:15:17.81\00:15:19.51
and I can do all the things
00:15:19.55\00:15:20.88
that I thought I
enjoyed before," you see.
00:15:20.92\00:15:24.62
And so before I went to Africa
on one of our trips over there,
00:15:24.65\00:15:29.56
I wrote him a letter and I said,
00:15:29.59\00:15:31.46
"This is six, seven months now.
00:15:31.49\00:15:33.96
You've got to be careful.
00:15:34.00\00:15:35.56
You can't go off the program
because you're doing well,
00:15:35.60\00:15:38.70
and you feel well,
00:15:38.73\00:15:40.07
and you've got to
continue on with it."
00:15:40.10\00:15:41.80
Well, he said that he did.
00:15:41.84\00:15:43.67
Now when he came back,
his heart had failed again,
00:15:43.71\00:15:47.38
his legs were swollen,
and his weight went from,
00:15:47.41\00:15:50.95
well, they do it in
kilos, about 92 kilos,
00:15:50.98\00:15:55.75
which is, you
know, it's over, what?
00:15:55.78\00:15:58.95
Hundred and ninety
five. Two hundred, yeah. Yeah.
00:15:58.99\00:16:00.82
And then he got down to...
00:16:00.86\00:16:02.46
I'm not sure exactly the numbers
00:16:02.49\00:16:03.99
but, he lost about five kilos
00:16:04.03\00:16:06.90
when he was here
again this time, you see.
00:16:06.93\00:16:10.17
And they didn't come back on.
00:16:10.20\00:16:11.60
So they kept...
00:16:11.63\00:16:13.44
Every time he
goes into dialysis,
00:16:13.47\00:16:15.50
they help his heart
00:16:15.54\00:16:16.91
because they take off 3-5 kilos,
00:16:16.94\00:16:18.81
maybe 15 pounds of
water and they can do that.
00:16:18.84\00:16:22.24
But then each time
he'd go back to dialysis,
00:16:22.28\00:16:25.01
his heart was stronger
again and there was less...
00:16:25.05\00:16:28.42
So he lost about 5
kilos, which is about 12 pounds
00:16:28.45\00:16:32.25
while he was here.
00:16:32.29\00:16:33.62
True weight loss,
00:16:33.66\00:16:35.32
not because they
had dialyzed it off
00:16:35.36\00:16:39.89
but because when he went
in, it was that much lower.
00:16:39.93\00:16:43.20
So we're trying
to follow him now
00:16:43.23\00:16:45.73
and a bunch of different things,
00:16:45.77\00:16:47.87
but the thing is that people...
00:16:47.90\00:16:50.41
And we talk about
this all the time,
00:16:50.44\00:16:53.14
as soon as I
start talking dialysis,
00:16:53.17\00:16:55.81
get here, get on the program,
00:16:55.84\00:16:58.71
and realize this is the part
00:16:58.75\00:17:00.35
that I want to
emphasize day-by-day
00:17:00.38\00:17:04.12
those of you Christians,
00:17:04.15\00:17:05.79
I want to emphasize it
you have to have the help
00:17:05.82\00:17:08.86
of the great physician
00:17:08.89\00:17:10.49
in order to do this
day after day after day.
00:17:10.53\00:17:14.23
And the wonderful thing
about that is He's helping you
00:17:14.26\00:17:18.40
so that you can
spend an eternity with Him.
00:17:18.43\00:17:20.80
Amen.
00:17:20.84\00:17:22.17
Okay, I want to
get back to you, Roger,
00:17:22.20\00:17:23.54
and ask you about
people who come to our program,
00:17:23.57\00:17:28.48
they're doing well, and they go,
00:17:28.51\00:17:29.94
"Okay now I can
start doing this,
00:17:29.98\00:17:31.75
not what I used to do,"
00:17:31.78\00:17:33.62
and they start
getting sick again.
00:17:33.65\00:17:35.95
What's the
solution, the logical one?
00:17:35.98\00:17:38.75
The logical one is
stick with the program.
00:17:38.79\00:17:41.06
Amen.
00:17:41.09\00:17:42.42
You know, just last night,
I gave a lecture on cancer.
00:17:42.46\00:17:45.83
And we have some
patients in our program
00:17:45.86\00:17:47.43
who are challenged
by cancer right now.
00:17:47.46\00:17:50.60
And both Dr. Lukens and myself
tell them, "You can never ever,
00:17:50.63\00:17:55.57
ever go back to
eating any animal products
00:17:55.60\00:17:59.07
because cancer uses
animal protein in your diet
00:17:59.11\00:18:03.51
to evade, to hide
from your immune system."
00:18:03.55\00:18:07.22
Isn't that something?
00:18:07.25\00:18:08.98
And so, you know,
00:18:09.02\00:18:10.72
once you've made
that lifestyle change
00:18:10.75\00:18:12.75
and your body has
started to get healthier,
00:18:12.79\00:18:15.19
the more that you
can continue that,
00:18:15.22\00:18:17.43
the better you're going to get.
00:18:17.46\00:18:19.26
But when you
backslide, those paths,
00:18:19.29\00:18:23.23
you get into this trough
and it just goes very quickly.
00:18:23.26\00:18:26.63
So there's no going back.
00:18:26.67\00:18:28.00
There's no going back,
you've got to stay pure.
00:18:28.04\00:18:31.31
The other thing on
the animal products,
00:18:31.34\00:18:34.31
you've got
different prostaglandins
00:18:34.34\00:18:37.48
and there are 20
carbon fatty acids,
00:18:37.51\00:18:39.75
we know that
meat, milk, and eggs
00:18:39.78\00:18:41.35
is a big problem and fishes too.
00:18:41.38\00:18:44.49
And then so your
heart isn't as strong,
00:18:44.52\00:18:47.86
but falsehood out there,
00:18:47.89\00:18:51.93
if I could be so
bold to say that,
00:18:51.96\00:18:53.86
is that you're
getting a whole lot of protein
00:18:53.90\00:18:56.43
that your body can't use
00:18:56.46\00:18:58.53
and these are
the very amino acids
00:18:58.57\00:19:00.90
that help your
cancer grow so fast.
00:19:00.94\00:19:03.44
So you're saying that people
are eating too much protein?
00:19:03.47\00:19:07.31
Well, no, too
much animal protein.
00:19:07.34\00:19:09.64
Well, animal protein.
00:19:09.68\00:19:11.01
Because they need
all those amino acids,
00:19:11.05\00:19:13.78
they're high in the ones
that the plants don't have.
00:19:13.82\00:19:17.25
The plants have a small
amount of those amino acids,
00:19:17.29\00:19:21.32
and the cancer loves the animal
amino acids that are high.
00:19:21.36\00:19:25.89
And so they can
just take off and grow.
00:19:25.93\00:19:28.30
The cancer also uses
those animal proteins,
00:19:28.33\00:19:31.30
those animal amino acids to
put a coating over its cells.
00:19:31.33\00:19:35.30
Yes.
00:19:35.34\00:19:36.67
And what happens is
when we eat meat protein,
00:19:36.71\00:19:39.61
when we eat animal protein,
00:19:39.64\00:19:41.24
the pancreatic
enzymes are used up
00:19:41.28\00:19:44.21
to digest the animal protein.
00:19:44.25\00:19:46.15
Those pancreatic enzymes,
if they were not used up
00:19:46.18\00:19:48.95
digesting animal
protein, could actually help
00:19:48.98\00:19:51.75
to attack those cancer
cells and destroy them.
00:19:51.79\00:19:55.19
So a plant-based diet
00:19:55.22\00:19:56.56
is the way to
go to fight cancer.
00:19:56.59\00:19:57.93
Amen. We're out of time.
00:19:57.96\00:20:00.30
Gentlemen, I want
to thank you both.
00:20:00.33\00:20:02.50
I know you're
both busy doctors here.
00:20:02.53\00:20:05.33
And I want to thank you,
friends, but don't go away,
00:20:05.37\00:20:07.87
Dr. Ramirez and
Dr. Nedley are up next.
00:20:07.90\00:20:11.07
Welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:20:47.21\00:20:48.54
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley,
President of Weimar Institute,
00:20:48.58\00:20:51.51
and with me today
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:20:51.55\00:20:54.45
one of our
researchers and physicians
00:20:54.48\00:20:56.25
here at NEWSTART,
00:20:56.28\00:20:57.62
who also teaches
at Weimar College.
00:20:57.65\00:21:00.76
Actually, we've
been teaming up together
00:21:00.79\00:21:02.36
to do quite a number of studies,
00:21:02.39\00:21:04.79
looking at NEWSTART
and a lot of other things
00:21:04.83\00:21:06.66
that happen here at Weimar
00:21:06.70\00:21:08.13
in depression and
anxiety recovery as well.
00:21:08.16\00:21:10.90
But today, we're
going to take a look
00:21:10.93\00:21:12.77
at a subgroup of patients
00:21:12.80\00:21:15.27
that this scientific
journal was very interested in.
00:21:15.30\00:21:18.71
It's a sub group
called postmenopausal women.
00:21:18.74\00:21:23.14
And of course, a lot of
women when they're younger
00:21:23.18\00:21:25.71
look forward to the days
00:21:25.75\00:21:27.42
when they won't
have to go through
00:21:27.45\00:21:28.88
that monthly cycle
00:21:28.92\00:21:30.55
and they won't have to
worry about that bleeding.
00:21:30.59\00:21:33.19
But unfortunately,
when they are ready to go
00:21:33.22\00:21:36.96
through that
cycle and afterwards,
00:21:36.99\00:21:39.49
they tend to get pretty
unhealthy here in America,
00:21:39.53\00:21:42.66
their cholesterols go
up, their waist lines go up.
00:21:42.70\00:21:46.17
And even though
they're not having periods,
00:21:46.20\00:21:48.44
they're unhealthy
and they're at the risk
00:21:48.47\00:21:50.27
of a lot of problems like
heart disease, and stroke,
00:21:50.31\00:21:53.61
and breast cancer, and
all sorts of other issues.
00:21:53.64\00:21:57.35
And so how many
postmenopausal women
00:21:57.38\00:22:00.98
were looked at
in this study, doc?
00:22:01.02\00:22:02.58
We had 793 ladies
that have gone through this
00:22:02.62\00:22:08.26
14 years of data that we
have on this NEWSTART Program.
00:22:08.29\00:22:11.79
Okay. So this
was 14 years of data.
00:22:11.83\00:22:14.46
Of course,
there's a lot more people
00:22:14.50\00:22:16.60
that have gone
through the program on this,
00:22:16.63\00:22:18.77
but we didn't have that
past data available for us.
00:22:18.80\00:22:23.00
So this is more
recent, 14 years, so brand new,
00:22:23.04\00:22:27.58
modern women, many
of them or most of them,
00:22:27.61\00:22:30.71
of course, they're still around.
00:22:30.75\00:22:32.08
In fact, if you
came to NEWSTART,
00:22:32.11\00:22:33.45
I would imagine pretty much
all of them are still around
00:22:33.48\00:22:36.22
as long as
they're carrying through
00:22:36.25\00:22:38.62
what they've
learned here, which most do.
00:22:38.65\00:22:41.49
And so tell us a
little bit about what happened
00:22:41.52\00:22:43.53
to these almost 800 women?
00:22:43.56\00:22:45.96
Yeah, well, something we
see in medical consultation,
00:22:45.99\00:22:48.90
as they pass
through that change,
00:22:48.93\00:22:51.00
their numbers in cholesterol
00:22:51.03\00:22:52.47
and so forth start
going in the wrong direction.
00:22:52.50\00:22:56.04
For example, on
the LDL cholesterol,
00:22:56.07\00:22:58.94
very good cholesterol
00:22:58.97\00:23:00.74
that correlates to
heart disease and stroke
00:23:00.78\00:23:03.65
and very negative events,
00:23:03.68\00:23:06.35
they were able to
lower it very nicely
00:23:06.38\00:23:08.58
from 135 on average,
00:23:08.62\00:23:11.39
by the end 117 their average.
00:23:11.42\00:23:14.66
Okay, and that's not
using any medicine at all?
00:23:14.69\00:23:17.03
That is actually
without any medication
00:23:17.06\00:23:19.73
to lower cholesterol.
00:23:19.76\00:23:21.43
Just a few days
of lifestyle changes.
00:23:21.46\00:23:23.87
It's amazing what can happen.
00:23:23.90\00:23:26.37
From years of
beating your body up
00:23:26.40\00:23:29.04
through poor diet and exercise,
00:23:29.07\00:23:30.94
what can happen
when you come to Weimar
00:23:30.97\00:23:32.64
in just a matter of a few days,
00:23:32.67\00:23:35.01
how quickly the body
starts to heal itself.
00:23:35.04\00:23:37.75
And especially in
this particular age group,
00:23:37.78\00:23:41.45
that's the time that
people start taking medications.
00:23:41.48\00:23:44.62
And when a physicians
start seeing these numbers,
00:23:44.65\00:23:47.16
he gets worried,
and adding, and adding,
00:23:47.19\00:23:49.59
and adding more medications
00:23:49.62\00:23:51.19
that have side
effects and so forth.
00:23:51.23\00:23:53.29
So the beauty of this is that
00:23:53.33\00:23:54.73
these ladies were able
to improve those numbers,
00:23:54.76\00:23:58.80
and at the same time,
00:23:58.83\00:24:00.34
decreasing some
of the medications
00:24:00.37\00:24:02.34
and feeling great.
00:24:02.37\00:24:04.04
Other number that
improved very nicely
00:24:04.07\00:24:05.97
was their mean
cholesterol from 221,
00:24:06.01\00:24:10.35
it came down to a
195 and a mode of175.
00:24:10.38\00:24:15.72
Most of the ladies
had that one 175 number.
00:24:15.75\00:24:19.35
Okay. So that's significant.
00:24:19.39\00:24:21.92
That's about 50,
sometimes a 50 number drop
00:24:21.96\00:24:26.63
in milligrams per deciliter
00:24:26.66\00:24:28.20
just in a few days
by coming to NEWSTART.
00:24:28.23\00:24:31.57
Also their weight improved.
Their waiting improved.
00:24:31.60\00:24:33.94
On average they
were losing four pounds,
00:24:33.97\00:24:36.60
which is very good.
00:24:36.64\00:24:37.97
We don't want that
huge drop in weight
00:24:38.01\00:24:40.78
because you're
going to gain it back.
00:24:40.81\00:24:42.44
As you start losing
weight little by little
00:24:42.48\00:24:44.98
and you continue
that, these numbers,
00:24:45.01\00:24:47.78
the other numbers will
actually continue to improve
00:24:47.82\00:24:50.69
as you improve that weight.
00:24:50.72\00:24:52.85
Yes, and it also
shows that the drop in LDL
00:24:52.89\00:24:56.09
was not due to
the weight itself.
00:24:56.12\00:24:58.86
Sometimes if you lose
a large amount of weight
00:24:58.89\00:25:01.00
even on a bad diet,
00:25:01.03\00:25:02.36
your cholesterol can
come down a little bit.
00:25:02.40\00:25:04.27
But this shows
that the diet itself
00:25:04.30\00:25:06.30
had dramatic improvement,
00:25:06.33\00:25:08.10
as well as the
other lifestyle changes
00:25:08.14\00:25:10.01
in the LDL cholesterol
as well as the weight.
00:25:10.04\00:25:13.38
So if you know of a
postmenopausal woman
00:25:13.41\00:25:16.31
who needs an
additional boost in their health
00:25:16.34\00:25:19.78
and needs to lower
their risk factors for death,
00:25:19.81\00:25:22.95
dying, stroke, and heart attack,
00:25:22.98\00:25:25.62
I would encourage you to call us
00:25:25.65\00:25:27.36
here at Weimar Institute
00:25:27.39\00:25:29.32
so you can be part
of the positive studies
00:25:29.36\00:25:31.96
that continue to come forward
in the medical literature.
00:25:31.99\00:25:35.46
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley,
and this is NEWSTART Now.
00:25:35.50\00:25:39.03
Join us again next week
00:25:39.07\00:25:40.40
and you'll hear about
another exciting study
00:25:40.44\00:25:42.57
that was recently published.
00:25:42.60\00:25:45.74
When we look at the health
status of Americans today,
00:25:45.77\00:25:48.38
it's alarming to see that 60%
are either overweight or obese.
00:25:48.41\00:25:52.88
In addition, diseases such
as type 2 diabetes, cancer,
00:25:58.35\00:26:01.82
and heart disorders
are the leading cause
00:26:01.86\00:26:03.69
of so many complications
and deaths every year.
00:26:03.73\00:26:06.73
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:26:11.13\00:26:13.90
After all, every
one in four Americans
00:26:13.94\00:26:16.47
visit a fast
food restaurant daily.
00:26:16.50\00:26:18.64
And with such easy
access to quick-fix foods,
00:26:18.67\00:26:22.28
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:26:22.31\00:26:24.21
those foods actually offer.
00:26:24.25\00:26:27.15
Maybe it's the sedentary
lifestyle and lack of exercise
00:26:27.18\00:26:30.19
that we've become so accustomed
to as a media-dependent world.
00:26:30.22\00:26:34.56
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:26:34.59\00:26:36.39
a solution has arrived.
00:26:36.42\00:26:40.60
The NEWSTART Lifestyle Center
offers an enriching program
00:26:40.63\00:26:44.03
where patients can get a healing
00:26:44.07\00:26:45.77
of mind, body, and soul.
00:26:45.80\00:26:47.90
Located in the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:26:47.94\00:26:50.37
the NEWSTART Center is situated
00:26:50.41\00:26:52.17
on the beautiful campus
00:26:52.21\00:26:53.54
of Weimar Center of
Health and Education
00:26:53.58\00:26:56.38
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:26:56.41\00:27:00.05
With a "whole plant
foods eaten whole" motto,
00:27:00.08\00:27:03.42
the NEWSTART Center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:27:03.45\00:27:06.52
with an emphasis
on natural foods.
00:27:06.55\00:27:09.09
The NEWSTART staff are made up
00:27:09.12\00:27:10.79
of California
board-certified nurses, doctors,
00:27:10.83\00:27:14.60
dietitians, and
therapists who work together
00:27:14.63\00:27:17.33
to assist each
patient personally.
00:27:17.37\00:27:19.93
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:27:19.97\00:27:22.57
in the program and
are always there to guide,
00:27:22.60\00:27:25.41
advise, and encourage.
00:27:25.44\00:27:27.48
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:27:27.51\00:27:29.68
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:27:29.71\00:27:32.58
You're both in sequence,
that's good. All right.
00:27:32.61\00:27:35.58
As part of the balance program,
there is much opportunity
00:27:35.62\00:27:38.49
to get in the fair
share of physical activity
00:27:38.52\00:27:41.16
from utilizing
our fitness center
00:27:41.19\00:27:43.29
to taking a stroll around
the peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:27:43.32\00:27:47.10
It's amazing what a
new start can do for you.
00:27:47.13\00:27:49.66
