Hi, friends, and welcome
00:01:12.40\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\00:01:18.87
In our studios today,
00:01:18.91\00:01:20.24
I have a young lady
all the way from Georgia,
00:01:20.28\00:01:23.61
Kati Sosebee,
00:01:23.65\00:01:25.41
who has been here,
this is her second time.
00:01:25.45\00:01:28.85
I'd like you to take a
look at when she first arrived.
00:01:28.88\00:01:31.99
First time I was here, I
really didn't want to come,
00:01:35.39\00:01:38.83
but I came and I worked
the program exactly, like,
00:01:38.86\00:01:41.73
I didn't have any
faith in it in the beginning
00:01:41.76\00:01:44.37
and didn't think
it was going to work.
00:01:44.40\00:01:46.30
But I worked the
program and by the time I left,
00:01:46.33\00:01:49.87
I felt a 100% better.
00:01:49.90\00:01:53.54
I'm a diabetic,
my diabetes was fine,
00:01:53.58\00:01:57.18
I was no longer on Victoza.
00:01:57.21\00:02:01.08
My blood pressure was perfect.
00:02:01.12\00:02:04.59
I was off of that medication.
00:02:04.62\00:02:07.69
My heart was better.
00:02:07.72\00:02:09.12
Every single thing
that was wrong with me
00:02:09.16\00:02:11.13
was better
00:02:11.16\00:02:12.49
and so, and I
came very skeptical,
00:02:12.53\00:02:15.00
so that was good.
00:02:15.03\00:02:18.07
I lasted about eight months
00:02:18.10\00:02:20.27
doing everything
I was supposed to
00:02:20.30\00:02:22.47
and then I just went
off the wagon I guess,
00:02:22.50\00:02:26.68
just started back and thought,
00:02:26.71\00:02:29.41
well, I could eat a
little bit of cheese
00:02:29.44\00:02:32.01
and then I could eat,
00:02:32.05\00:02:33.42
well, may be a little fish,
00:02:33.45\00:02:37.15
you know,
because my doctor said,
00:02:37.19\00:02:39.15
"Eat fish, eat cheese, eat meat,
00:02:39.19\00:02:41.06
it'll make you better."
00:02:41.09\00:02:42.42
Well, I was
already getting better
00:02:42.46\00:02:43.89
and I was already better.
00:02:43.93\00:02:45.46
So his advice wasn't that
good to go back to it, so I...
00:02:45.49\00:02:51.00
But I thought he
did say I should eat it.
00:02:51.03\00:02:53.67
So I thought, "Okay,
yeah, I'll eat cheese."
00:02:53.70\00:02:56.10
And then I added salmon
and then I felt, well, okay,
00:02:56.14\00:02:59.21
and then he says,
00:02:59.24\00:03:00.58
"You need protein, you
have to eat more protein."
00:03:00.61\00:03:03.21
Okay, all right, all right.
00:03:03.24\00:03:04.75
Well, a little
steak will be okay.
00:03:04.78\00:03:07.18
And then before you know it,
00:03:07.22\00:03:08.98
I was right back to where I was.
00:03:09.02\00:03:11.19
Then the difference
was like day and night.
00:03:11.22\00:03:13.05
You know what?
00:03:13.09\00:03:14.42
It's just
downhill from that point.
00:03:14.46\00:03:16.36
And I worked very
hard for eight months
00:03:16.39\00:03:18.46
to do exactly what
I was supposed to do
00:03:18.49\00:03:20.66
and everything
was so much better.
00:03:20.70\00:03:23.80
And in that
short period of time,
00:03:23.83\00:03:26.17
probably staying a
month on my decline,
00:03:26.20\00:03:30.67
I was right back to
where I was before I came.
00:03:30.71\00:03:35.78
I want to get rid of my gout,
00:03:35.81\00:03:40.75
go back to not needing
medication for diabetes,
00:03:40.78\00:03:44.45
go back to feeling better,
00:03:44.49\00:03:48.62
you know, being
healthy, being able to walk,
00:03:48.66\00:03:51.06
and do the things
that I could after,
00:03:51.09\00:03:53.93
during that eight months
when I was eating properly.
00:03:53.96\00:03:56.70
Welcome back,
friends. Help me welcome Kati.
00:04:00.07\00:04:03.17
How are you, dear? Fine and you?
00:04:03.20\00:04:04.97
I'm great.
00:04:05.01\00:04:06.34
But it's always
good to talk to you.
00:04:06.37\00:04:08.04
You're always so cheerful,
00:04:08.08\00:04:10.05
I mean, here you come back here.
00:04:10.08\00:04:12.38
Well, let's get
right to it. Okay.
00:04:12.41\00:04:13.75
Why are you back
here? What happened?
00:04:13.78\00:04:15.42
You were here once before,
00:04:15.45\00:04:17.12
you were doing so well
for six or eight months
00:04:17.15\00:04:20.12
and now here you are
back in the chair again.
00:04:20.16\00:04:22.12
I was so excited
and happy when I left.
00:04:22.16\00:04:25.79
And I thought I can do this
00:04:25.83\00:04:27.23
as just as the way
I need to live now,
00:04:27.26\00:04:31.03
it's not a diet,
it's a lifestyle.
00:04:31.07\00:04:34.00
And I was all
excited, I lasted eight months,
00:04:34.04\00:04:37.57
did everything I
was supposed to do,
00:04:37.61\00:04:39.31
I felt so good, all
my numbers are perfect,
00:04:39.34\00:04:43.35
everything's
running really well,
00:04:43.38\00:04:45.28
then I think,
00:04:45.31\00:04:46.65
well, vegan,
vegetarianism, a little cheese.
00:04:46.68\00:04:50.62
Little cheese
isn't going to hurt me.
00:04:50.65\00:04:52.05
Yeah, I mean, why not.
Yeah, just a little cheese.
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.36
A little
cheese. A little cheese.
00:04:54.39\00:04:56.46
How much is a
little cheese, like a hunk?
00:04:56.49\00:04:58.99
Yeah.
00:04:59.03\00:05:00.36
Well, it started
out as a small hunk,
00:05:00.40\00:05:02.46
and then it ended
up being a daily hunk,
00:05:02.50\00:05:05.37
and then it ended
up being cheese soup,
00:05:05.40\00:05:08.14
you know, extra
cheese, extra cheese,
00:05:08.17\00:05:11.01
cheese on my salad.
00:05:11.04\00:05:12.47
And I thought,
well, that's not too bad,
00:05:12.51\00:05:13.84
I'm still vegetarian until...
00:05:13.88\00:05:15.21
Now when did that happen?
00:05:15.24\00:05:16.85
What month of last
year did that start?
00:05:16.88\00:05:19.91
It started
probably last September.
00:05:19.95\00:05:24.45
So in September,
October, November, December...
00:05:24.49\00:05:28.29
Right. This is March.
00:05:28.32\00:05:29.72
So seven months? Yes.
00:05:29.76\00:05:31.46
But I've been in touch with
you in the last couple of months
00:05:31.49\00:05:33.76
both Dr. Lukens and myself.
00:05:33.80\00:05:35.76
Correct.
00:05:35.80\00:05:37.13
And we're going,
"Kati, what are you doing?"
00:05:37.17\00:05:39.37
Well, you know, and also
I avoided your phone calls.
00:05:39.40\00:05:42.47
I know you did. You know what?
00:05:42.50\00:05:44.44
I answered them up to a point,
00:05:44.47\00:05:47.64
but then I thought,
"Okay, they are nagging now."
00:05:47.68\00:05:50.15
No.
00:05:50.18\00:05:51.51
You know, they
are calling me out,
00:05:51.55\00:05:52.88
I'm feeling very guilty.
00:05:52.91\00:05:54.48
So I go to my
doctor, I have blood work,
00:05:54.52\00:05:56.58
it is awful,
awful on every level.
00:05:56.62\00:06:00.19
Every single thing went bad,
00:06:00.22\00:06:01.86
triglycerides, cholesterol,
blood pressure, kidney...
00:06:01.89\00:06:05.46
There was nothing,
nothing that was where it was.
00:06:05.49\00:06:08.66
So I think with
a lot of prodding
00:06:08.70\00:06:11.00
by you and Dr. Lukens I decided,
00:06:11.03\00:06:14.47
"No, I needed to come
back, that I needed to restart."
00:06:14.50\00:06:18.27
So sometimes when
you fail at something
00:06:18.31\00:06:20.81
and you just
don't quite make it,
00:06:20.84\00:06:22.71
you need to get
back up, and do it again.
00:06:22.74\00:06:25.45
You know, come back,
start again, and realize...
00:06:25.48\00:06:29.48
You know what?
00:06:29.52\00:06:30.85
You feel really good,
00:06:30.89\00:06:32.72
but it means you have to
do it the rest of your life.
00:06:32.75\00:06:35.46
It isn't like I can feel good
00:06:35.49\00:06:37.63
and now I can do
what I want to do.
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.46
You have to follow God's plan,
00:06:39.49\00:06:40.86
and God's plan is this
is how we need to live,
00:06:40.90\00:06:44.63
how we need to eat.
00:06:44.67\00:06:46.00
So what's
different this time, Kati?
00:06:46.03\00:06:48.74
I mean, when you
left here last time,
00:06:48.77\00:06:50.47
you had it, you
owned this program,
00:06:50.51\00:06:53.34
but what's changed this time?
00:06:53.38\00:06:55.48
The reality that it really...
00:06:55.51\00:06:58.25
I have to take
it really seriously,
00:06:58.28\00:07:00.72
and really pay
attention to what I'm doing,
00:07:00.75\00:07:03.85
and really do it
00:07:03.89\00:07:05.22
because I love my
life, I love my family,
00:07:05.25\00:07:07.76
I love God,
00:07:07.79\00:07:09.12
and it gives me
spiritual food...
00:07:09.16\00:07:10.49
Amen.
00:07:10.53\00:07:11.86
As well as the
wonderful food that I eat.
00:07:11.89\00:07:14.73
And realize that, you know what,
00:07:14.76\00:07:16.80
that it's not important
to have that junk food into,
00:07:16.83\00:07:21.84
you know, eat those
things that aren't good for me.
00:07:21.87\00:07:23.97
I would like to live
to see my grand kids have,
00:07:24.01\00:07:26.37
you know, their kids.
00:07:26.41\00:07:27.84
So... Amen.
00:07:27.88\00:07:29.48
You know, Kati,
00:07:29.51\00:07:31.18
in a way it's
kind of tough for you
00:07:31.21\00:07:32.55
because I guess it's okay to say
00:07:32.58\00:07:35.12
you're in the
restaurant business.
00:07:35.15\00:07:36.48
Right. Right. You
own two restaurants.
00:07:36.52\00:07:38.82
And you have all
these different foods
00:07:38.85\00:07:40.92
that you're preparing,
00:07:40.96\00:07:42.46
and the chefs
are making and so on.
00:07:42.49\00:07:44.83
And often times
00:07:44.86\00:07:46.53
we're tempted to
taste these foods
00:07:46.56\00:07:49.46
and being a fellow
paisano I understand.
00:07:49.50\00:07:53.84
You know, it could
get really out there.
00:07:53.87\00:07:56.34
Yeah. You know...
00:07:56.37\00:07:57.71
And it was really difficult
coming back the first time,
00:07:57.74\00:08:00.38
after I did this program
00:08:00.41\00:08:01.74
and I had to go
into my restaurant,
00:08:01.78\00:08:03.58
and serve those cream pies,
00:08:03.61\00:08:05.58
and serve that food
where I make my money.
00:08:05.61\00:08:08.38
And I looked at
all my customers,
00:08:08.42\00:08:09.75
and my friends and
thought I'm killing all of you.
00:08:09.78\00:08:12.35
You know what?
00:08:12.39\00:08:13.72
I wish I could
get this message out
00:08:13.76\00:08:16.09
and I did what I could,
00:08:16.12\00:08:17.46
but I know everybody
will still continue to...
00:08:17.49\00:08:20.40
If they don't
eat at my restaurant,
00:08:20.43\00:08:21.76
they are going to
eat somewhere else.
00:08:21.80\00:08:23.16
But I would like to
get that message out
00:08:23.20\00:08:25.40
and to let people
know, you know what?
00:08:25.43\00:08:28.04
I have access to
all kinds of food,
00:08:28.07\00:08:30.41
anything that I want
00:08:30.44\00:08:31.97
and I have chefs
that will make my food.
00:08:32.01\00:08:34.48
But it's still you have
to change the mentality,
00:08:34.51\00:08:38.58
it's not a diet,
it's a lifestyle,
00:08:38.61\00:08:40.45
this is how I enjoy
eating and enjoy the food,
00:08:40.48\00:08:43.12
don't think it's a punishment
to eat this food, it isn't.
00:08:43.15\00:08:47.46
And you can add herbs
and fresh things to it and,
00:08:47.49\00:08:51.13
you know, your
taste buds change.
00:08:51.16\00:08:52.49
And what's the
basis of this food?
00:08:52.53\00:08:56.06
It's plant-based,
good, nutritious food.
00:08:56.10\00:09:00.47
And I think the
key is plant-based.
00:09:00.50\00:09:02.90
You know what? I think... Key.
00:09:02.94\00:09:04.91
And God put this
food here for us.
00:09:04.94\00:09:07.48
And it's really
funny that within,
00:09:07.51\00:09:10.58
you know, three days
after you're on this program,
00:09:10.61\00:09:13.45
all of a sudden you feel better,
00:09:13.48\00:09:15.22
all your numbers
are getting better.
00:09:15.25\00:09:17.09
It's like God gives you,
00:09:17.12\00:09:19.35
"I'm giving you
this gift, take it."
00:09:19.39\00:09:21.99
In three days, I'm showing you,
00:09:22.02\00:09:24.46
I can make you
feel so much better.
00:09:24.49\00:09:27.06
This is how
you're supposed to eat.
00:09:27.10\00:09:28.46
I go to the doctor and
they give me medication,
00:09:28.50\00:09:30.57
they give me
bottles of pills, and say,
00:09:30.60\00:09:32.47
"Take this, take this
for the rest of your life,
00:09:32.50\00:09:34.84
and you know what?
00:09:34.87\00:09:36.20
Will keep that
symptom under control."
00:09:36.24\00:09:37.57
Then I go back
with the new symptom
00:09:37.61\00:09:39.21
that I got from the
pill of the other one.
00:09:39.24\00:09:41.04
Take another pill.
00:09:41.08\00:09:42.41
And they're going to
give me another pill.
00:09:42.44\00:09:43.78
But do I ever feel good?
00:09:43.81\00:09:46.61
Am I ever really healthy? No.
00:09:46.65\00:09:49.15
I'm living on
pills and medication.
00:09:49.18\00:09:50.52
Well, let me interrupt you then,
00:09:50.55\00:09:51.89
when you got
here and Dr. Lukens,
00:09:51.92\00:09:54.02
he gave you more
pills to take, right?
00:09:54.06\00:09:55.79
Oh, absolutely not.
00:09:55.82\00:09:57.49
He said, "Give me those pills."
He said, "Give me those pills."
00:09:57.53\00:09:59.46
"Here, eat some spinach,
00:09:59.49\00:10:02.33
you know, have
a little of this."
00:10:02.36\00:10:03.70
So you're eliminating the pills?
00:10:03.73\00:10:06.17
Absolutely. And you know what?
00:10:06.20\00:10:08.14
There is no reason for
anybody in this country
00:10:08.17\00:10:10.41
to be a diabetic,
00:10:10.44\00:10:11.77
unless it's genetic or
some other kind of problem,
00:10:11.81\00:10:14.48
but just from
eating, absolutely not.
00:10:14.51\00:10:17.41
You know what?
00:10:17.45\00:10:18.78
Everybody that I've
ever seen come through,
00:10:18.81\00:10:20.22
this is my second time.
00:10:20.25\00:10:21.78
Every person
that's been a diabetic
00:10:21.82\00:10:23.49
is either off their insulin
00:10:23.52\00:10:25.45
or they're no longer
taking any medication.
00:10:25.49\00:10:28.42
Amen.
00:10:28.46\00:10:29.79
So it can all be
done with God's food,
00:10:29.82\00:10:31.99
He's given it all to us.
00:10:32.03\00:10:33.43
He's given us the herbs.
00:10:33.46\00:10:34.80
He's given us every single thing
00:10:34.83\00:10:36.43
that we need.
00:10:36.46\00:10:38.43
We need to be on
a plant-based diet.
00:10:38.47\00:10:40.80
What has changed, we
got a few seconds left,
00:10:40.84\00:10:43.91
from your last program
to this other than you?
00:10:43.94\00:10:47.21
Anything different?
00:10:47.24\00:10:48.71
Anything just kind of stick out?
00:10:48.74\00:10:50.51
Well, no, I think it's
just still high energy.
00:10:50.55\00:10:53.62
I think everybody...
00:10:53.65\00:10:55.25
I thought by the time
I came back this time,
00:10:55.28\00:10:57.19
everybody be worn
out from the last time
00:10:57.22\00:10:59.65
because you guys are
so high, high energy.
00:10:59.69\00:11:02.46
Michelle's
fantastic in the kitchen...
00:11:02.49\00:11:04.43
Oh, she is a sweaty.
00:11:04.46\00:11:05.79
She gives you
these incredible recipes.
00:11:05.83\00:11:07.23
And, you know what?
00:11:07.26\00:11:08.60
She's just got more
life every time I see her,
00:11:08.63\00:11:11.10
she is more
onboard, everybody is.
00:11:11.13\00:11:12.47
Oh, she came
through the program.
00:11:12.50\00:11:14.10
Yeah, and looks
fantastic. She looked great.
00:11:14.14\00:11:16.24
And she understands the
program and, you know what?
00:11:16.27\00:11:18.71
It's just a
wonderful experience.
00:11:18.74\00:11:20.64
Kati, I want to thank you.
00:11:20.68\00:11:22.14
Dear, you're such a sweetheart.
All right, you're welcome.
00:11:22.18\00:11:24.41
God bless you. You too.
00:11:24.45\00:11:25.78
And thank you for opening up.
00:11:25.81\00:11:28.32
And thank you,
friends, but don't go away,
00:11:28.35\00:11:30.09
Dr. Lukens is up next.
00:11:30.12\00:11:34.39
Welcome back, friends,
00:11:34.42\00:11:35.76
and please help me
welcome Dr. Lukens in the house.
00:11:35.79\00:11:39.39
All right, good.
00:11:39.43\00:11:40.76
I want to talk
about Kati real quick
00:11:40.80\00:11:42.40
because we don't
have a lot of time.
00:11:42.43\00:11:44.83
Kati, this is her second...
She doesn't have a lot of time.
00:11:44.87\00:11:47.47
I can never talk to her. I know.
00:11:47.50\00:11:50.37
She doesn't, that's
right whenever we call her.
00:11:50.41\00:11:53.31
How many times we called
her before we can reach her?
00:11:53.34\00:11:54.68
I don't know, I don't
know. Anyway she is back.
00:11:54.71\00:11:57.41
This is the second
time she has been here,
00:11:57.45\00:11:59.48
may be the third.
00:11:59.51\00:12:01.12
Second. But it's
definitely the second.
00:12:01.15\00:12:03.95
And I want to talk about
00:12:03.99\00:12:05.32
what you shouldn't
do if you come here.
00:12:05.35\00:12:07.72
Her last visit, she
was very successful,
00:12:07.76\00:12:10.89
she started to
reverse all these conditions,
00:12:10.93\00:12:14.23
and then she kind of backslid,
00:12:14.26\00:12:16.30
she said, "Well,
I'm in the business,
00:12:16.33\00:12:18.83
I started tasting
this and tasting that."
00:12:18.87\00:12:22.14
And she got off
the wagon so to speak.
00:12:22.17\00:12:25.31
So what's the prognosis?
00:12:25.34\00:12:26.68
We can see how that is,
00:12:26.71\00:12:28.44
she told us that
she has 135 pies,
00:12:28.48\00:12:32.41
some are named
after celebrities,
00:12:32.45\00:12:35.08
and they have half a
quart of cream in them.
00:12:35.12\00:12:38.45
Oh, my goodness.
00:12:38.49\00:12:40.09
So, yeah, I mean so...
00:12:40.12\00:12:41.46
But you know what she
is doing in a restaurant.
00:12:41.49\00:12:43.22
She is getting into a vegan.
00:12:43.26\00:12:45.03
She gonna have choices,
00:12:45.06\00:12:46.46
you can do vegan,
vegetarian, meat, pork,
00:12:46.49\00:12:50.27
whatever it is that
00:12:50.30\00:12:51.63
they serve back East
Tennessee wherever it is...
00:12:51.67\00:12:55.27
Well, you know,
the thing is that
00:12:55.30\00:12:56.97
she and another
person from New York,
00:12:57.01\00:13:03.04
we can't say who it is
00:13:03.08\00:13:04.41
because of the
HIPAA rules and stuff.
00:13:04.45\00:13:06.31
But the two of
them came together
00:13:06.35\00:13:08.18
and I thought they
were right on the cusp.
00:13:08.22\00:13:11.02
Let's see what happens and see
00:13:11.05\00:13:12.69
if we can keep
them off of dialysis.
00:13:12.72\00:13:15.59
Both of them
were supposed to have
00:13:15.62\00:13:17.26
the shunt put in their arm.
00:13:17.29\00:13:19.46
In fact, her
surgeon called her up
00:13:19.49\00:13:22.06
and he said, "Where are you?
00:13:22.10\00:13:25.27
You're supposed to be
in surgery this morning."
00:13:25.30\00:13:28.00
She said, "Well,
I'm in California."
00:13:28.04\00:13:30.37
And he said, "Well,
see me when you get back."
00:13:30.41\00:13:33.27
When she went for
eight, nine months
00:13:33.31\00:13:37.45
and then she said, well,
I started a little bit off,
00:13:37.48\00:13:41.18
you know, and
you taste something
00:13:41.22\00:13:43.49
and you
remember how good it was,
00:13:43.52\00:13:46.22
it wasn't good for
you, but it tasted good.
00:13:46.25\00:13:48.42
Yeah.
00:13:48.46\00:13:49.79
And so then she...
00:13:49.82\00:13:53.06
By the time the
holidays had rolled around,
00:13:53.09\00:13:55.90
she was totally off the program.
00:13:55.93\00:13:57.47
I know.
00:13:57.50\00:13:59.03
And the
nephrologist was just adamant
00:13:59.07\00:14:03.41
that she had
00:14:03.44\00:14:04.77
if she won't eat
meat, milk, and eggs,
00:14:04.81\00:14:06.37
she has to eat fish.
00:14:06.41\00:14:07.74
Yeah.
00:14:07.78\00:14:09.11
And, friends, what
we're talking about here
00:14:09.14\00:14:11.31
is a kidney failure.
00:14:11.35\00:14:13.21
And I just want
the viewers to know
00:14:13.25\00:14:15.85
that you do not have
to live with bad kidney
00:14:15.88\00:14:20.02
'cause you could always reverse.
00:14:20.06\00:14:21.39
Well, in most cases.
00:14:21.42\00:14:23.06
You can slow down the
progress or you can...
00:14:23.09\00:14:25.99
It seems like
you can reverse it.
00:14:26.03\00:14:28.03
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:28.06\00:14:29.46
Enough, enough,
00:14:29.50\00:14:31.00
so that you've
got enough kidney.
00:14:31.03\00:14:33.13
What was really neat
about her when she came back,
00:14:33.17\00:14:36.04
both of them from
the January session
00:14:36.07\00:14:38.97
the year before, came back
00:14:39.01\00:14:41.41
and they both did
well the second time.
00:14:41.44\00:14:43.71
And she was so grateful
when we had her graduation,
00:14:43.75\00:14:46.48
she was crying
00:14:46.51\00:14:48.02
because we had
another patient that was here
00:14:48.05\00:14:50.45
and had to be on
dialysis for another reason.
00:14:50.49\00:14:53.79
For eight years and every
time they sat together, he said,
00:14:53.82\00:14:57.29
"Look at my arm, look at me."
00:14:57.33\00:15:00.00
He said, "This is not what
you ever want to get and do,
00:15:00.03\00:15:04.47
anything you can
00:15:04.50\00:15:06.10
so that you are not
particularly on dialysis."
00:15:06.13\00:15:07.47
So he was inspiring her
to stay with the program,
00:15:07.50\00:15:11.31
otherwise you're going to end up
00:15:11.34\00:15:12.67
with one of these.
00:15:12.71\00:15:14.04
Is that what you're saying?
00:15:14.08\00:15:15.41
Yeah, and he
said for eight years,
00:15:15.44\00:15:17.08
you know, he said
three times a week,
00:15:17.11\00:15:19.38
you're tied to your machine,
00:15:19.41\00:15:21.45
you know, you have
to make arrangements
00:15:21.48\00:15:23.49
and you're sitting
there for three or four hours.
00:15:23.52\00:15:26.19
Well, what you're
going to do during that time?
00:15:26.22\00:15:27.72
Read a book? Sleep?
00:15:27.76\00:15:29.76
And he said, he has seen
00:15:29.79\00:15:31.13
so many people
taken out of there
00:15:31.16\00:15:32.66
because they
don't know what to do
00:15:32.69\00:15:35.26
and they just go ahead and die.
00:15:35.30\00:15:37.43
Oh, sad. It
really is. Yeah, it is.
00:15:37.47\00:15:40.04
And it's increasing
by leaps and bounds.
00:15:40.07\00:15:41.74
We're not going to be
able to keep up with dialysis.
00:15:41.77\00:15:43.47
No. Yeah.
00:15:43.51\00:15:45.47
We've got to keep
up with Kati though.
00:15:45.51\00:15:48.21
Yeah, she realizes now 'cause...
00:15:48.24\00:15:51.18
Because the dialysis patients,
00:15:51.21\00:15:54.38
I think He put
the fear in there.
00:15:54.42\00:15:56.48
Yeah.
00:15:56.52\00:15:57.85
But even so, you know,
people with advanced cancer,
00:15:57.89\00:16:02.06
they're going to
partial remission or remission
00:16:02.09\00:16:04.39
and after three or four years
00:16:04.43\00:16:06.39
they say, "Well, I'm cured."
00:16:06.43\00:16:08.20
And then go back to
their old lifestyle?
00:16:08.23\00:16:09.56
Yeah, and then it comes again.
00:16:09.60\00:16:11.10
And it comes back with
a vengeance at this point.
00:16:11.13\00:16:14.40
And so you and I, we
got to keep after her.
00:16:14.44\00:16:17.44
Yeah.
00:16:17.47\00:16:18.81
We should call her
on a regular basis.
00:16:18.84\00:16:21.04
Well, I know you
do, you keep pretty...
00:16:21.08\00:16:23.35
Well, I try.
00:16:23.38\00:16:24.71
And I've tried over
and over and over again
00:16:24.75\00:16:26.21
and I've only
gotten through twice,
00:16:26.25\00:16:28.22
one time is
fortunately two weeks before
00:16:28.25\00:16:33.09
the nephrologist had told
her that she had to eat fish,
00:16:33.12\00:16:36.79
you know, and she was
kind of wavering on that
00:16:36.83\00:16:39.86
because he sees her
all the time, you know.
00:16:39.89\00:16:42.00
Yeah. And I said
please don't do it.
00:16:42.03\00:16:44.47
So fish is enough to
reverse this condition again?
00:16:44.50\00:16:49.04
Yeah, you mean
to make it go back?
00:16:49.07\00:16:50.41
Yes.
00:16:50.44\00:16:51.77
Anytime you get
the animal products,
00:16:51.81\00:16:53.14
there's way too much protein
that your body can't use.
00:16:53.17\00:16:56.48
People say, well,
that's not a complete protein
00:16:56.51\00:16:59.25
and they're just
broadcasting the whole industry
00:16:59.28\00:17:03.79
that you have to
have that, you see.
00:17:03.82\00:17:06.12
But the actual fact
is that you eat the foods
00:17:06.15\00:17:10.13
that the Lord
made for humans to eat
00:17:10.16\00:17:13.26
and it has just the right stuff.
00:17:13.29\00:17:14.63
Amen.
00:17:14.66\00:17:16.03
Doc, we've run out of time.
00:17:16.06\00:17:18.03
Thank you for your time,
00:17:18.07\00:17:19.40
I know you're a busy
guy but we'll talk later.
00:17:19.43\00:17:22.50
Friends, thank
you but don't go away.
00:17:22.54\00:17:25.07
Damien Snead, Pastor
Damien Snead is up next.
00:17:25.11\00:17:29.41
Every year in America,
00:17:32.41\00:17:33.75
there are over
one million deaths
00:17:33.78\00:17:35.12
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:17:35.15\00:17:38.19
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:17:38.22\00:17:40.46
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:17:40.49\00:17:44.23
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:17:44.26\00:17:47.46
It's your lifestyle.
00:17:47.50\00:17:49.13
Wouldn't it be nice
00:17:49.16\00:17:50.50
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:17:50.53\00:17:52.37
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:17:52.40\00:17:55.27
Obesity and diabetes
00:17:55.30\00:17:56.64
are the cause of over
million deaths per year.
00:17:56.67\00:17:59.51
Most diseases are reversible
00:17:59.54\00:18:01.54
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:18:01.58\00:18:04.48
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:18:04.51\00:18:08.08
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:18:08.12\00:18:10.19
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

You will see dramatic changes
00:18:20.00\00:18:21.43
in the first few
days of our program
00:18:21.46\00:18:23.47
and you'll be on the road
00:18:23.50\00:18:24.83
to a better more
robust quality of life.
00:18:24.87\00:18:27.60
The NEWSTART programs
are simple and effective.
00:18:27.64\00:18:30.47
Welcome back, friends,
help me welcome Pastor Snead.
00:18:35.11\00:18:39.85
It's good to see you,
Brother. Thank you, friend.
00:18:39.88\00:18:42.38
I want the viewers to know
00:18:42.42\00:18:44.75
that you're new
with the NEWSTART program
00:18:44.79\00:18:48.52
and you're not like brand new
00:18:48.56\00:18:50.76
but you've been
here like nine months.
00:18:50.79\00:18:52.36
New enough, right?
00:18:52.39\00:18:53.73
And you joined us
June of 2016. Yes, sir.
00:18:53.76\00:18:57.50
You've been with
about 200 of our guests
00:18:57.53\00:19:01.70
and let me just say
now that in the time
00:19:01.74\00:19:07.44
that you've been
here in nine months,
00:19:07.48\00:19:09.48
you've baptized more people
than the previous nine years.
00:19:09.51\00:19:14.98
And of truth foreknown,
may be it's more like 20 years,
00:19:15.02\00:19:18.45
I don't know I'm not counting
00:19:18.49\00:19:20.12
but I've been so impressed
by the number of people
00:19:20.16\00:19:24.59
who have on
graduation night stated,
00:19:24.63\00:19:27.66
"Yeah, I thought I came
here to reverse my diabetes
00:19:27.70\00:19:30.70
but I not only did
that, I found the Lord again.
00:19:30.73\00:19:33.47
Yeah.
00:19:33.50\00:19:35.07
And, you know,
God has put you here.
00:19:35.10\00:19:39.47
Yeah. Tell us
about this, please?
00:19:39.51\00:19:41.54
Well, what I'm seeing is
that these people come here
00:19:41.58\00:19:46.41
and they have usually...
00:19:46.45\00:19:47.78
I mean, we're
about 70% Adventist,
00:19:47.82\00:19:50.09
30%
non-Adventist, 2% non-Christian.
00:19:50.12\00:19:54.09
So both groups,
00:19:54.12\00:19:55.46
whether they are
Adventist or non-Adventist,
00:19:55.49\00:19:57.06
they come and they both have,
00:19:57.09\00:19:58.43
some of them usually the
same Christian experience
00:19:58.46\00:20:01.46
which is a very
nominal experience.
00:20:01.50\00:20:03.90
They have been in
church for years and for years,
00:20:03.93\00:20:06.47
and they come that
first week into NEWSTART
00:20:06.50\00:20:10.24
and I can see it in their faces,
00:20:10.27\00:20:12.17
they think this
is the same stuff
00:20:12.21\00:20:14.08
and I'm going
real light on them,
00:20:14.11\00:20:15.44
I'm going the love of God,
00:20:15.48\00:20:16.81
I'm going Ecce
Homo - Behold The Man,
00:20:16.85\00:20:19.18
giving your heart,
00:20:19.21\00:20:20.55
I'm going real
careful with them.
00:20:20.58\00:20:22.28
But I'm also
trying to work in pace
00:20:22.32\00:20:24.45
with the program,
with the health program.
00:20:24.49\00:20:27.02
I'm not wanting to get
ahead of their growth in health
00:20:27.06\00:20:31.36
is what I'm doing, I'm trying...
00:20:31.39\00:20:32.73
Now, you find
that the health program
00:20:32.76\00:20:35.16
is kind of like food for the...
00:20:35.20\00:20:39.73
Tell us about that?
Brother, it is a catalyst.
00:20:39.77\00:20:42.44
It is a catalyst
00:20:42.47\00:20:43.81
'cause I see it, you
know, I have really 18 days
00:20:43.84\00:20:46.17
but I could
divide those 18 days up
00:20:46.21\00:20:47.54
into two weeks, separate weeks.
00:20:47.58\00:20:50.05
And that first week,
00:20:50.08\00:20:51.41
it's tough, they are
coming off all of their toxins,
00:20:51.45\00:20:53.35
all their
nicotine, all their caffeine,
00:20:53.38\00:20:55.48
all their sugar-fat oils,
00:20:55.52\00:20:57.29
and they are grouchy and cranky,
00:20:57.32\00:20:58.92
they are going
through that three-day fast.
00:20:58.95\00:21:01.16
So I'm taking it easy with
them but about that second week,
00:21:01.19\00:21:03.46
that second Monday,
00:21:03.49\00:21:04.99
when it starts
00:21:05.03\00:21:06.36
I can already see
00:21:06.39\00:21:07.96
a powerful
movement in their life,
00:21:08.00\00:21:10.40
I see something
different happening
00:21:10.43\00:21:12.23
because their
attention is greater,
00:21:12.27\00:21:14.30
they are paying more...
00:21:14.34\00:21:16.47
They are more
interactive with me.
00:21:16.50\00:21:18.27
I can see the tears watering up.
00:21:18.31\00:21:19.64
I see the Holy Spirit
00:21:19.67\00:21:21.01
moving on them
in that second week.
00:21:21.04\00:21:22.48
So it's in that second week
00:21:22.51\00:21:24.08
that I really
go into the gospel.
00:21:24.11\00:21:26.85
I really take them deep
into the ideas of repentance,
00:21:26.88\00:21:29.48
and justification,
and sanctification,
00:21:29.52\00:21:32.25
the Holy Spirit, the new
life, and they respond to it.
00:21:32.29\00:21:35.46
I mean, I've
usually a 70% response rate.
00:21:35.49\00:21:39.29
And I know that's
happened with Kati,
00:21:39.33\00:21:41.53
during her interview
she is just talking about...
00:21:41.56\00:21:44.83
Tell us about
specifically with Kati?
00:21:44.87\00:21:47.14
Well, with Kati, you
know, she's been here before.
00:21:47.17\00:21:49.00
Yes.
00:21:49.04\00:21:50.37
And I don't think, she realized
before the spiritual aspects.
00:21:50.41\00:21:53.01
But this second
time that she came here,
00:21:53.04\00:21:55.44
she told me how quickly
she felt the spiritual kick-in,
00:21:55.48\00:21:59.81
she recognized it.
00:21:59.85\00:22:01.18
With in a few days of
getting her health back,
00:22:01.22\00:22:03.49
the exercise,
fresh air, sunlight,
00:22:03.52\00:22:05.52
the mind becomes aware,
00:22:05.55\00:22:07.36
and the Holy Spirit's coming in,
00:22:07.39\00:22:09.39
and she felt the
spiritual aspects
00:22:09.42\00:22:13.43
quicker this time,
00:22:13.46\00:22:14.80
she felt it, and it
was measurable for her.
00:22:14.83\00:22:17.23
Amen.
00:22:17.27\00:22:18.60
Yeah, I'm so happy for
her and I'm happy for you,
00:22:18.63\00:22:21.47
it seems like
you've found a home here.
00:22:21.50\00:22:24.27
Oh, I found a niche. I
found my home, that's true.
00:22:24.31\00:22:28.48
Thirteen years in a desert
00:22:28.51\00:22:30.45
trying to bring souls to Christ,
00:22:30.48\00:22:32.41
and now you're here, and
you go wow, look at this.
00:22:32.45\00:22:36.42
Yes, sir.
00:22:36.45\00:22:37.79
Anyhow, I do want to thank
you that you've taken your time,
00:22:37.82\00:22:41.19
I know you're a busy guy...
00:22:41.22\00:22:42.69
God bless you,
Brother. Thank you so much.
00:22:42.72\00:22:45.06
And, friends, thank
you but don't go away
00:22:45.09\00:22:47.10
'cause Dr. Nedley and
Dr. Ramirez are up next.
00:22:47.13\00:22:50.70
Welcome to NEWSTART
Now. I'm Dr. Neil Nedley.
00:22:53.74\00:22:56.74
With me today is
Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:22:56.77\00:22:59.17
researcher, physician,
00:22:59.21\00:23:00.54
and professor at Weimar College
00:23:00.58\00:23:02.94
that teaches research
design methods to students.
00:23:02.98\00:23:06.92
And this is actually a
study we're highlighting today,
00:23:06.95\00:23:10.29
that was
accepted for publication
00:23:10.32\00:23:12.15
and presented at Harvard data
00:23:12.19\00:23:16.22
that was analyzed in part
by a student at Weimar College.
00:23:16.26\00:23:22.10
And this student had been raised
00:23:22.13\00:23:24.13
in a dysfunctional home,
00:23:24.17\00:23:26.37
and he was in jail
by the time he was 15.
00:23:26.40\00:23:31.31
And he had so many issues
that when he got out of jail,
00:23:31.34\00:23:35.31
his mother didn't want him home,
00:23:35.34\00:23:37.01
and he went to another
facility called Advent Home,
00:23:37.05\00:23:41.72
and then from there,
started to turn around,
00:23:41.75\00:23:44.45
and he got accepted
00:23:44.49\00:23:45.82
at Weimar
College under probation,
00:23:45.85\00:23:48.46
and began to
flourish in this environment
00:23:48.49\00:23:51.73
at Weimar College.
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.29
And he noticed
that a lot of people
00:23:53.33\00:23:55.36
coming to depression and
anxiety recovery programs
00:23:55.40\00:23:58.73
had dysfunctional homes
in their background as well.
00:23:58.77\00:24:02.37
Seems to be a common thread
00:24:02.40\00:24:03.97
for many that have
depression and anxiety.
00:24:04.01\00:24:07.01
And so he wanted to
analyze those patients,
00:24:07.04\00:24:10.48
and so tell us a
little bit about this study
00:24:10.51\00:24:13.45
that was accepted at Harvard?
00:24:13.48\00:24:14.85
Yes, we were using
00:24:14.88\00:24:16.48
the population of
patients that have done
00:24:16.52\00:24:18.65
the community
version of the depression
00:24:18.69\00:24:21.12
and anxiety
program, 5621 of them.
00:24:21.16\00:24:26.16
And what we saw on this study
00:24:26.19\00:24:30.13
is that those
people that grow up
00:24:30.17\00:24:33.27
not with both parents at home,
00:24:33.30\00:24:36.34
tend to have a worst
baseline depression level
00:24:36.37\00:24:41.18
when they
participate on the program.
00:24:41.21\00:24:43.28
And sadly, this is
a common occurrence
00:24:43.31\00:24:46.05
among our world
today that we live in.
00:24:46.08\00:24:48.42
That's true.
00:24:48.45\00:24:49.78
The Harvard
Mastery of Stress Study
00:24:49.82\00:24:51.79
that was published before this,
00:24:51.82\00:24:54.46
showed that if we
have a good relationship
00:24:54.49\00:24:57.16
with our mother and father,
00:24:57.19\00:24:59.29
we are far less likely to
have any significant disease
00:24:59.33\00:25:02.26
by the time we're 50.
00:25:02.30\00:25:04.27
And, but this is looking
00:25:04.30\00:25:05.63
at the mental
health part of things
00:25:05.67\00:25:07.44
and we're finding out
they are far more likely
00:25:07.47\00:25:09.47
to have mental health issues
00:25:09.50\00:25:11.27
if they are not raised
by both biological parents
00:25:11.31\00:25:14.18
at the same time.
00:25:14.21\00:25:15.54
By the way in our society today,
00:25:15.58\00:25:18.08
only 25% or less of kids
00:25:18.11\00:25:22.48
0 to 18 are being raised
00:25:22.52\00:25:24.22
by both biological
parents at the same time.
00:25:24.25\00:25:26.45
So this is the
majority of Americans out there
00:25:26.49\00:25:29.22
that we're
talking about here today.
00:25:29.26\00:25:31.09
Well, what else
did the study show?
00:25:31.13\00:25:32.46
So what we were showing
00:25:32.49\00:25:34.03
is that this
particular vulnerable group
00:25:34.06\00:25:37.47
actually improved quite
nicely as they implemented
00:25:37.50\00:25:42.07
those different
lifestyle interventions
00:25:42.10\00:25:44.47
that we're proposing
during that eight-week program.
00:25:44.51\00:25:48.74
And by the time
00:25:48.78\00:25:50.38
that the
eight-week program finished,
00:25:50.41\00:25:53.05
their depression
level had gone down
00:25:53.08\00:25:56.22
to a low mild depression.
00:25:56.25\00:25:59.45
Okay, so they came in
with significant moderate
00:25:59.49\00:26:02.76
to severe levels of depression.
00:26:02.79\00:26:04.16
That's right.
00:26:04.19\00:26:05.53
And even though,
00:26:05.56\00:26:06.90
they were raised
in dysfunctional home
00:26:06.93\00:26:08.26
and had problems at home,
00:26:08.30\00:26:09.86
they were able to
improve their depression scores
00:26:09.90\00:26:12.77
much more than
medication in just eight weeks
00:26:12.80\00:26:15.47
by attending this program
and implementing some changes.
00:26:15.50\00:26:18.64
So an important
aspect of this program
00:26:18.67\00:26:21.48
was the EQ side of things.
00:26:21.51\00:26:24.88
Many times
people that are coming
00:26:24.91\00:26:28.08
from this background,
00:26:28.12\00:26:30.39
there's unforgiveness
and hate against the parent
00:26:30.42\00:26:34.36
that wasn't
present and so forth.
00:26:34.39\00:26:36.46
So by coming to the program
00:26:36.49\00:26:39.06
and helping
reshape their thinking
00:26:39.09\00:26:42.46
and finding forgiveness,
00:26:42.50\00:26:44.30
that has benefits for
the mental health overall.
00:26:44.33\00:26:48.47
Okay, and, you know,
Lance noticed that himself,
00:26:48.50\00:26:51.37
you know, coming to Weimar,
00:26:51.41\00:26:52.77
these type of
principles are second nature,
00:26:52.81\00:26:55.44
they are actually encouraged
among our student body,
00:26:55.48\00:26:58.35
and he noticed
that his IQ went up.
00:26:58.38\00:27:00.45
He was able to on
this program perform
00:27:00.48\00:27:04.45
some advanced
Chemistry, and Math,
00:27:04.49\00:27:07.72
and do well,
00:27:07.76\00:27:09.09
even well enough to
get into medical school.
00:27:09.12\00:27:11.76
He was also
working with his hands
00:27:11.79\00:27:13.60
in three dimensions,
00:27:13.63\00:27:14.96
the agricultural part of things
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.90
and that's why he thought
00:27:16.93\00:27:18.43
it would be good
to study these others
00:27:18.47\00:27:20.10
'cause he noticed
00:27:20.14\00:27:21.47
what an improvement it
occurred in his own life
00:27:21.50\00:27:23.47
and how others can also improve.
00:27:23.51\00:27:27.18
And so let someone know
00:27:27.21\00:27:29.44
about the depression and
anxiety recovery program,
00:27:29.48\00:27:31.88
they can get it at
home, the DVD workbook series.
00:27:31.91\00:27:35.58
They can get into a
community base program
00:27:35.62\00:27:37.79
which is what

00:27:37.82\00:27:39.45

00:27:42.32\00:27:44.43
your depression and
anxiety can actually go away
00:27:44.46\00:27:49.36
and your emotional
intelligence can improve.
