Hi, friends, and
welcome to another edition
00:01:12.87\00:01:15.00
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:15.04\00:01:16.81
I'm your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:16.84\00:01:19.74
And we have a special interview
this morning with Mary Garcia
00:01:19.77\00:01:24.08
from North Highlands,
00:01:24.11\00:01:26.28
here a local in Sacramento area.
00:01:26.31\00:01:29.78
She's come here fighting cancer,
00:01:29.82\00:01:33.12
and I'd like you
to take a look at
00:01:33.15\00:01:34.72
when she first arrived.
00:01:34.76\00:01:36.22
I'm here because I have cancer.
00:01:39.23\00:01:41.60
And I've had an operation,
00:01:41.63\00:01:43.77
and they want to
do another operation.
00:01:43.80\00:01:45.53
And I would like to
find out what I'm doing wrong
00:01:45.57\00:01:49.20
to be able to correct that
00:01:49.24\00:01:50.57
and possibly avoid
the second operation.
00:01:50.61\00:01:53.44
So I know that
00:01:53.48\00:01:55.28
there's
something I'm doing right,
00:01:55.31\00:01:56.64
but there's still
something missing.
00:01:56.68\00:01:59.85
And I guess the Lord
has led me up to this point,
00:01:59.88\00:02:02.48
and He's going to
get me through it.
00:02:02.52\00:02:04.39
The doctors when I came
out of the first operation
00:02:04.42\00:02:07.69
were surprised.
00:02:07.72\00:02:09.09
They said, "You
don't even look like
00:02:09.12\00:02:11.26
you've had an operation."
00:02:11.29\00:02:12.63
That was just
right after my operation.
00:02:12.66\00:02:15.66
And when I woke
up and they said,
00:02:15.70\00:02:18.17
"You don't look like
you had an operation."
00:02:18.20\00:02:20.47
The nurses said the same thing,
friends said the same thing,
00:02:20.50\00:02:23.54
people in church
said the same thing.
00:02:23.57\00:02:25.97
I would like to
see my cancer reversed.
00:02:26.01\00:02:28.01
Welcome back, friends.
Mary, how are you, dear?
00:02:30.98\00:02:33.98
I'm well.
00:02:34.02\00:02:35.42
Good to see you.
Good to see you too.
00:02:35.45\00:02:37.52
Yeah, and it's
good to talk to you
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.19
about what's going on here.
00:02:39.22\00:02:41.39
You know, when
you first arrived,
00:02:41.42\00:02:43.06
we did an interview and
you were sharing with us
00:02:43.09\00:02:46.49
about your situation with cancer
00:02:46.53\00:02:48.50
and the surgery
that's a couple weeks out.
00:02:48.53\00:02:52.53
But tell us why would you choose
00:02:52.57\00:02:56.00
to come to a lifestyle
center before a surgery?
00:02:56.04\00:03:00.21
Well, I previously had a surgery
00:03:00.24\00:03:02.98
on another cancer tumor,
00:03:03.01\00:03:06.31
and before I did, I
had started on my own
00:03:06.35\00:03:09.25
what I had read trying to
build up my immune system.
00:03:09.28\00:03:12.65
But in this, and
this is my second surgery,
00:03:12.69\00:03:15.62
I feel that I
needed it even more
00:03:15.66\00:03:17.43
because the
other one was in June
00:03:17.46\00:03:20.20
and that wasn't that far away.
00:03:20.23\00:03:22.30
And so I needed to
really get built up
00:03:22.33\00:03:24.63
and get my strength going
00:03:24.67\00:03:26.10
so that when I do
come into recovery again,
00:03:26.13\00:03:28.84
it will be fast and
like it was the first time.
00:03:28.87\00:03:31.74
But, you know, the
surgeries do take their toll.
00:03:31.77\00:03:34.98
Yes.
00:03:35.01\00:03:36.34
So it's a necessary this time.
00:03:36.38\00:03:38.75
And you're going to
be better equipped now.
00:03:38.78\00:03:40.58
Yes, I am.
00:03:40.62\00:03:41.95
Because you've
learned about some new tools,
00:03:41.98\00:03:45.95
if you will,
00:03:45.99\00:03:47.32
on how to
strengthen the immune system,
00:03:47.36\00:03:50.53
how to build it up,
00:03:50.56\00:03:52.56
and so your
fighter cells, if you will,
00:03:52.59\00:03:56.83
can easily fight the cancer.
00:03:56.87\00:03:59.53
Correct. Right?
00:03:59.57\00:04:00.90
Yes.
00:04:00.94\00:04:02.27
And what are some of
the things you learned?
00:04:02.30\00:04:03.64
Oh, there are so many things.
00:04:03.67\00:04:05.91
The diet, the exercise,
00:04:05.94\00:04:07.84
it's all good.
00:04:07.88\00:04:09.48
One of the things...
00:04:09.51\00:04:10.85
I love beans and
that's what is on this diet.
00:04:10.88\00:04:13.38
And I'm going to
keep on eating my beans.
00:04:13.42\00:04:15.35
Love beans.
00:04:15.38\00:04:16.72
I'm glad they're
not taking them out.
00:04:16.75\00:04:19.32
They wouldn't because
you're from Hispanic background?
00:04:19.35\00:04:21.39
Oh, no. Oh, no, no not all.
00:04:21.42\00:04:23.69
Well, Italian
and I love beans too.
00:04:23.73\00:04:25.76
So I don't know what
that has to do with it.
00:04:25.79\00:04:27.90
Nonetheless,
what about the hydro?
00:04:27.93\00:04:30.63
The hydro cold?
00:04:30.67\00:04:32.03
I had the fever baths.
00:04:32.07\00:04:34.57
Oh, you did? Yes, I had eight.
00:04:34.60\00:04:36.20
Better, yeah.
00:04:36.24\00:04:37.57
Today will be my
eighth fever bath.
00:04:37.61\00:04:39.37
Explain to our viewers
what is a fever treatment
00:04:39.41\00:04:44.65
and what it accomplishes.
00:04:44.68\00:04:47.38
The fever bath is to cause
00:04:47.42\00:04:49.65
my white blood
cells to come out,
00:04:49.68\00:04:52.42
they're my firefighters,
and they'll come out
00:04:52.45\00:04:54.52
and start attacking the cancer.
00:04:54.56\00:04:56.42
And so that's the purpose
of taking this type of bath.
00:04:56.46\00:04:59.96
And in this
bath, it's a big tub.
00:05:00.00\00:05:02.86
To me, it was
like a horse trough.
00:05:02.90\00:05:05.90
It looked like a
horse trough. Yes, it does.
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.27
And you get submerged in
hot water at 110 degrees.
00:05:08.30\00:05:12.11
And your
temperature is slowly brought up
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.28
between 102 and 103.
00:05:15.31\00:05:17.68
And it is kept there
for about 20 minutes,
00:05:17.71\00:05:20.12
and then you're
slowly taken back down.
00:05:20.15\00:05:21.95
So the whole process
00:05:21.98\00:05:23.32
is about 45
minutes to an hour long.
00:05:23.35\00:05:27.99
And they're putting
ice packs on your head
00:05:28.02\00:05:30.86
because your brain is very,
can be damaged by the heat.
00:05:30.89\00:05:34.13
Right.
00:05:34.16\00:05:35.50
So it keeps your
brain cool, so you don't get
00:05:35.53\00:05:38.20
any damage to your brain.
00:05:38.23\00:05:39.77
And the rest of you is
submerged in the hot water
00:05:39.80\00:05:42.04
and they keep putting hot packs,
00:05:42.07\00:05:44.97
cool packs with
ice on your head.
00:05:45.01\00:05:47.28
And they keep blotting your face
00:05:47.31\00:05:48.71
'cause you're always sweating.
00:05:48.74\00:05:50.08
Yes.
00:05:50.11\00:05:51.65
And my
technician, her name is April,
00:05:51.68\00:05:56.58
she was very nice,
00:05:56.62\00:05:58.15
we were joking
around all the time.
00:05:58.19\00:05:59.82
She's the best. Yes.
00:05:59.85\00:06:01.72
So we enjoyed
each other's company.
00:06:01.76\00:06:03.43
You know, we may call you up
if we need an extra therapist
00:06:03.46\00:06:07.53
for fever treatments.
00:06:07.56\00:06:08.90
Okay.
00:06:08.93\00:06:10.27
Now I've done them
as well for our guest.
00:06:10.30\00:06:13.77
You just
described it so accurately,
00:06:13.80\00:06:17.44
and where the blessing for me
00:06:17.47\00:06:19.14
comes is you know these things,
00:06:19.17\00:06:21.18
and you've shown
or told our viewers.
00:06:21.21\00:06:24.11
There are people out there
00:06:24.15\00:06:25.48
who know nothing
about fighter cells
00:06:25.51\00:06:28.35
that can fight cancers and
how to build the immune system
00:06:28.38\00:06:32.39
through fever treatments.
00:06:32.42\00:06:34.32
So this isn't the only place
you can get a fever treatment,
00:06:34.36\00:06:37.83
but if you're wise,
you come here and get them.
00:06:37.86\00:06:41.43
I'm going to return.
00:06:41.46\00:06:42.80
Yes, I know you are.
00:06:42.83\00:06:44.17
And I'm going to have to
make an appointment for that
00:06:44.20\00:06:46.43
and come back.
00:06:46.47\00:06:47.90
And I'm also planning on
coming to the alumni meals.
00:06:47.94\00:06:50.81
Oh, awesome.
00:06:50.84\00:06:52.17
That's now like the second
week of the session I believe.
00:06:52.21\00:06:56.54
Yes.
00:06:56.58\00:06:57.91
Wednesday.
00:06:57.95\00:06:59.28
We'll look forward to it.
00:06:59.31\00:07:00.65
You're going to have
a lot to share with us.
00:07:00.68\00:07:02.78
You have such a wonderful smile.
00:07:02.82\00:07:04.49
How come you're always happy?
00:07:04.52\00:07:05.92
Oh, it's the Lord.
00:07:05.95\00:07:08.49
That has nothing to do with me,
00:07:08.52\00:07:09.86
it's all Him.
00:07:09.89\00:07:12.43
Another good answer.
00:07:12.46\00:07:14.76
So your overall
experience, how was that?
00:07:14.80\00:07:17.73
Very good. I liked it here.
00:07:17.77\00:07:19.23
It's just beautiful.
00:07:19.27\00:07:20.67
I love the country.
00:07:20.70\00:07:22.80
Being able to walk out here
in the country, in the woods,
00:07:22.84\00:07:25.01
and it's just gorgeous here.
00:07:25.04\00:07:27.01
The sunsets, the
dawn of the morning,
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.78
it's just beautiful.
00:07:29.81\00:07:31.15
So you get lots of
pure fresh air here.
00:07:31.18\00:07:34.45
Yes.
00:07:34.48\00:07:36.05
What about our chaplain?
00:07:36.08\00:07:37.89
What did you think
of his services here?
00:07:37.92\00:07:39.92
Oh, those were good. I liked it.
00:07:39.95\00:07:41.82
I always enjoyed
the fresh start services
00:07:41.86\00:07:43.69
that he directed in the morning.
00:07:43.73\00:07:45.59
They were very good.
00:07:45.63\00:07:46.96
And Irwin also
did beautiful music
00:07:47.00\00:07:48.83
in the morning for us too.
00:07:48.86\00:07:50.20
Yes.
00:07:50.23\00:07:51.57
So music and
the Word of the Lord
00:07:51.60\00:07:52.93
being opened up to us really
is a good way to start the day.
00:07:52.97\00:07:55.64
It's an awesome way.
I'd like to continue that.
00:07:55.67\00:07:59.14
Now when you get home,
00:07:59.17\00:08:01.18
what will you continue?
00:08:01.21\00:08:02.64
I mean, I know you're going
to continue your lifestyle,
00:08:02.68\00:08:05.48
what about these
other treatments,
00:08:05.51\00:08:06.85
will you do those on your own?
00:08:06.88\00:08:08.85
When I get home,
I'm going to continue
00:08:08.88\00:08:11.45
with doing my devotional,
00:08:11.49\00:08:12.89
my lesson in the
morning as I was before.
00:08:12.92\00:08:15.89
I will continue to do exercise.
00:08:15.92\00:08:18.53
And as for the treatments, I
will attempt to do some of it
00:08:18.56\00:08:22.10
because you
actually need another person
00:08:22.13\00:08:24.47
to help you in that,
00:08:24.50\00:08:25.83
when you do the fever treatment.
00:08:25.87\00:08:27.20
I'm glad you said that.
00:08:27.24\00:08:28.57
You do. You actually need it.
00:08:28.60\00:08:29.94
It's recommended. Yes.
00:08:29.97\00:08:31.31
I will do with my best at home.
00:08:31.34\00:08:32.81
I will take hot bath and
stay in the tub for a while,
00:08:32.84\00:08:36.75
and then rinse
off with cold water
00:08:36.78\00:08:39.55
as cold comes out of the faucet.
00:08:39.58\00:08:41.08
Yes.
00:08:41.12\00:08:42.45
And right now, it's
not coming out too cold,
00:08:42.48\00:08:43.89
but this winter it will be.
00:08:43.92\00:08:46.35
Now will you continue seeing
Dr. Kay on an occasional basis?
00:08:46.39\00:08:51.26
Maybe I will.
00:08:51.29\00:08:52.63
I think, I might when I come
00:08:52.66\00:08:55.43
for the alumni thing
00:08:55.46\00:08:59.17
or when I come for a treatment,
00:08:59.20\00:09:00.54
I will make it a
point to see him.
00:09:00.57\00:09:01.90
Okay, good. Thank you, dear.
00:09:01.94\00:09:03.81
Oh, thank you.
And God bless you.
00:09:03.84\00:09:05.37
It was a pleasure.
00:09:05.41\00:09:06.74
Stay with it. Yes.
00:09:06.78\00:09:08.11
And God bless you
too and your program.
00:09:08.14\00:09:10.25
Friends, thank you
too, but don't go away.
00:09:10.28\00:09:13.15
Dr. Connie Noble is up next.
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.95
Welcome back, friends.
00:09:18.95\00:09:20.29
Help me welcome
Dr. Connie Noble.
00:09:20.32\00:09:21.76
How you doing?
00:09:21.79\00:09:23.12
I'm doing
great. Good to see you.
00:09:23.16\00:09:24.49
Oh, it's good to
be here with you.
00:09:24.53\00:09:25.86
You know,
00:09:25.89\00:09:27.23
we had a moment just
before program began.
00:09:27.26\00:09:30.47
And talking about
this lady's attitude,
00:09:30.50\00:09:34.27
it just increases my faith
00:09:34.30\00:09:39.17
because she is so
vivacious, so loving, so caring,
00:09:39.21\00:09:45.81
so sure, and positive.
00:09:45.85\00:09:48.78
And she's got all
these cancers to deal with
00:09:48.82\00:09:52.55
and surgery, and she's like,
00:09:52.59\00:09:53.92
Oh, well, I'm just
going to get stronger
00:09:53.96\00:09:55.96
and increase my
faith in the Lord,
00:09:55.99\00:09:58.26
everything's going to be fine.
00:09:58.29\00:10:00.23
But tell...
00:10:00.26\00:10:01.70
Didn't you see that too?
00:10:01.73\00:10:03.06
Oh, absolutely.
Isn't that amazing?
00:10:03.10\00:10:05.43
I'd be really, really
paranoid about this time.
00:10:05.47\00:10:09.57
Oh, yeah, most people
00:10:09.60\00:10:10.94
when you've just
been given a diagnosis of
00:10:10.97\00:10:13.98
not one but two
cancers, significant,
00:10:14.01\00:10:18.75
you know, most people fall apart
00:10:18.78\00:10:20.48
or they just, yeah,
the stress and anxiety,
00:10:20.52\00:10:23.45
the worry takes
over, but not for Mary.
00:10:23.49\00:10:28.16
Is there
something that you can say
00:10:28.19\00:10:29.69
to our guests that are watching
00:10:29.72\00:10:32.03
that might give
them some encouragement,
00:10:32.06\00:10:34.86
some faith, just to know
that it doesn't have to end?
00:10:34.90\00:10:41.67
Yeah,
00:10:41.70\00:10:44.11
I think that the
lesson I learned from Mary,
00:10:44.14\00:10:46.94
when I think about
her is so many people
00:10:46.98\00:10:49.88
do focus on the problem
when they have a diagnosis.
00:10:49.91\00:10:54.68
And they let bad emotions,
00:10:54.72\00:10:57.15
things that have
been hurting them,
00:10:57.19\00:11:00.42
just, oops, here's another thing
00:11:00.46\00:11:01.92
or here's another thing
and just is a downward spiral,
00:11:01.96\00:11:05.09
but Mary was instead,
00:11:05.13\00:11:06.46
"Well, I've got
to deal with this,
00:11:06.49\00:11:08.16
and just put everything
in God and move forward.
00:11:08.20\00:11:11.10
A good example, the
mind body connection,
00:11:11.13\00:11:13.17
I don't want to underplay it all
00:11:13.20\00:11:15.24
the faith in God 'cause that
is the most important aspect.
00:11:15.27\00:11:17.21
Yeah.
00:11:17.24\00:11:18.57
But, I think,
people do also forget
00:11:18.61\00:11:19.94
that the mind body
connection is very profound,
00:11:19.97\00:11:22.14
the way God has made us.
00:11:22.18\00:11:24.01
And we do have a choice
we're going to focus on,
00:11:24.05\00:11:25.91
the positive or the negative.
00:11:25.95\00:11:28.18
There's a study that was
done on how people responded
00:11:28.22\00:11:31.59
to immunizations once
full shot, how it was,
00:11:31.62\00:11:35.42
the study was on
measuring antibody response.
00:11:35.46\00:11:38.93
And they had two
groups of people.
00:11:38.96\00:11:40.63
In one group, for seven minutes
00:11:40.66\00:11:42.43
before the shot, they
asked them to think about
00:11:42.46\00:11:44.03
a pleasant happy
experience in their life,
00:11:44.07\00:11:46.37
the other group was supposed
00:11:46.40\00:11:48.07
to think about
something negative
00:11:48.10\00:11:49.44
and bad that had
happened to them.
00:11:49.47\00:11:51.24
For seven
minutes before the shot
00:11:51.27\00:11:52.61
and then they
just came, and said
00:11:52.64\00:11:53.98
"Okay, time for your shot."
00:11:54.01\00:11:55.34
They didn't tell them
00:11:55.38\00:11:56.71
why they told them to
think about it or anything,
00:11:56.75\00:11:58.08
and people went on
their way after the shot.
00:11:58.11\00:11:59.45
They brought them
back six months later,
00:11:59.48\00:12:00.82
checked their antibody levels.
00:12:00.85\00:12:03.22
And there was a huge difference
between the antibodies
00:12:03.25\00:12:05.29
that was in those who had
thought about happy things
00:12:05.32\00:12:08.96
before that shot
compared to those
00:12:08.99\00:12:11.86
that had thought about
something tragic in their life
00:12:11.89\00:12:14.83
that they were
still bitter about.
00:12:14.86\00:12:17.27
And so their emotional state
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.50
at that time had
a profound influence
00:12:19.53\00:12:22.94
on the immune response.
00:12:22.97\00:12:27.14
That's some real
powerful information
00:12:27.18\00:12:29.91
that kind of leads me
back to the Bible were,
00:12:29.94\00:12:34.78
I think, it was Christ says,
"What you focus on you become."
00:12:34.82\00:12:38.69
And I really believe that.
00:12:38.72\00:12:41.39
And what I just heard you say,
00:12:41.42\00:12:42.82
"If you're
focusing on the negative,
00:12:42.86\00:12:44.89
your body's going to
start producing negative stuff."
00:12:44.93\00:12:48.30
Whatever that
is, I'm not a doctor
00:12:48.33\00:12:49.83
so I don't know.
00:12:49.86\00:12:51.33
But I know, when
I'm feeling good,
00:12:51.37\00:12:53.77
when I'm feeling positive,
00:12:53.80\00:12:58.37
that energy that's
flowing through me,
00:12:58.41\00:13:01.24
the love of God, Christ Himself
is just keeping me alive.
00:13:01.28\00:13:07.02
You know, many people
have trouble with peace.
00:13:07.05\00:13:09.48
Yeah. And contentment.
00:13:09.52\00:13:12.32
But what does Isaiah 26 tell us,
00:13:12.35\00:13:14.92
"Thou who have keep
him in perfect peace
00:13:14.96\00:13:17.59
whose mind is stayed on thee
00:13:17.63\00:13:18.96
because he trusted in thee."
00:13:18.99\00:13:20.33
Amen, amen.
00:13:20.36\00:13:21.70
"Trust in the Lord.
00:13:21.73\00:13:23.06
Jehova, for in Him is
everlasting peace, right,
00:13:23.10\00:13:26.03
and strength."
00:13:26.07\00:13:27.40
And here's a lady
who's exemplifying that.
00:13:27.44\00:13:30.37
She's at peace.
00:13:30.41\00:13:33.17
And, you know,
I'm just wondering,
00:13:33.21\00:13:35.68
man, I think, I fell
short, I mean, real short
00:13:35.71\00:13:39.45
because I only
seem to be at peace
00:13:39.48\00:13:41.45
when everything is going right.
00:13:41.48\00:13:43.49
But I don't know that everything
00:13:43.52\00:13:45.15
is going right for her,
00:13:45.19\00:13:46.52
at least not
from my perspective.
00:13:46.55\00:13:48.19
From her perspective,
00:13:48.22\00:13:51.36
I think, it's just fine.
00:13:51.39\00:13:53.60
And you just nailed it.
00:13:53.63\00:13:55.16
Thank you for
sharing that. You're welcome.
00:13:55.20\00:13:57.63
So how about our guest viewers,
00:13:57.67\00:14:00.27
now can you look in
that camera and tell them
00:14:00.30\00:14:03.47
what they might
think about doing.
00:14:03.51\00:14:07.01
You know, I know
that many of you challenge
00:14:07.04\00:14:10.01
or face huge
challenges in your life,
00:14:10.05\00:14:12.31
and God wants to
bring you through those.
00:14:12.35\00:14:17.32
We're not all born positive.
00:14:17.35\00:14:20.89
Ron, I was not born
00:14:20.92\00:14:22.42
with rose-colored
glasses on my vision.
00:14:22.46\00:14:25.86
I was tend to be
more of a pessimist
00:14:25.89\00:14:27.63
and I learned over time.
00:14:27.66\00:14:30.37
When you rely on
God, you talk faith,
00:14:30.40\00:14:34.07
you spend time with the
Lord each and every day,
00:14:34.10\00:14:37.37
and you put your
full trust in Him.
00:14:37.41\00:14:38.74
He will bring you through.
00:14:38.77\00:14:40.51
He'll bring us all through,
and He truly can give us peace
00:14:40.54\00:14:43.55
even in the midst of
a very trying moment,
00:14:43.58\00:14:47.48
like being told you have cancer.
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.78
So for you,
Ron, for our viewers,
00:14:49.82\00:14:52.15
that is what I would
really like everyone to go home
00:14:52.19\00:14:55.16
with and myself included.
00:14:55.19\00:14:56.83
That's life, things happen,
00:14:56.86\00:14:58.53
but God is always
going to bring us through.
00:14:58.56\00:15:00.56
Some of you say amen.
00:15:00.60\00:15:02.86
I mean, that was powerful.
00:15:02.90\00:15:04.93
We could have
done a sermon on that.
00:15:04.97\00:15:07.70
But thank you, doctor.
00:15:07.74\00:15:09.27
It's really encouraging to
here a doctor speak like you do,
00:15:09.30\00:15:14.08
and I'm so
grateful that you're here
00:15:14.11\00:15:16.68
and I know Mary is too.
00:15:16.71\00:15:18.75
Praise the Lord. Thank you.
00:15:18.78\00:15:20.12
Good to see you
again. Good to see you too.
00:15:20.15\00:15:21.65
And thank you, friends.
00:15:21.68\00:15:23.02
Don't go away,
Pastor Snead is up next.
00:15:23.05\00:15:26.62
Every year in America
00:15:31.69\00:15:33.03
there are over
one million deaths
00:15:33.06\00:15:34.40
because of type two
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:15:34.43\00:15:37.30
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:15:37.33\00:15:39.63
That's six and a half
747s crashing every day.
00:15:39.67\00:15:43.20
What's even worse is
that the fix is easy.
00:15:43.24\00:15:46.64
It's your lifestyle.
00:15:46.68\00:15:48.01
Wouldn't it be nice
00:15:48.04\00:15:49.38
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:15:49.41\00:15:51.41
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:15:51.45\00:15:54.32
Obesity and
diabetes are the cause
00:15:54.35\00:15:56.02
of over a
million deaths per year.
00:15:56.05\00:15:58.49
Most diseases are reversible
00:15:58.52\00:16:00.66
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:16:00.69\00:16:03.53
especially type two
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:16:03.56\00:16:07.03
Seriously, now
they can be reversed
00:16:07.06\00:16:09.23
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

00:16:32.99\00:16:34.32
Help me welcome
Damon Snead, Pastor Snead.
00:16:34.36\00:16:37.99
How you doing,
friend? I'm doing good, man.
00:16:38.03\00:16:40.63
You know, I want
to talk to about Mary,
00:16:40.66\00:16:44.10
but there's not a lot to say.
00:16:44.13\00:16:47.14
I mean, you've mentioned
00:16:47.17\00:16:48.60
that before the
interview started,
00:16:48.64\00:16:50.07
there really is
not a lot to say.
00:16:50.11\00:16:51.77
This woman is so special.
00:16:51.81\00:16:55.34
You know, I know
God has a plan for her.
00:16:55.38\00:16:57.91
She's got such a good attitude.
00:16:57.95\00:17:00.62
She is just a
blessing to speak to.
00:17:00.65\00:17:03.39
She's very short in
her answers which is fine,
00:17:03.42\00:17:06.35
but how are you able to
assist the Marys of this world
00:17:06.39\00:17:10.89
where they come in like
they don't need any help.
00:17:10.93\00:17:14.13
Yeah, well, she
came in, and immediately,
00:17:14.16\00:17:18.20
you know that
she's a good woman.
00:17:18.23\00:17:19.80
Actually, she's the
perfect church member.
00:17:19.83\00:17:22.34
She's never
going to cause trouble.
00:17:22.37\00:17:24.37
She's never going to
speak bad about anybody,
00:17:24.41\00:17:26.91
no gossiping.
00:17:26.94\00:17:28.28
I don't care how
terrible you preach,
00:17:28.31\00:17:29.71
she's going to
find something good
00:17:29.74\00:17:32.11
in positive out of all that.
00:17:32.15\00:17:34.32
So it was a bit challenging
00:17:34.35\00:17:36.28
to really help
her and assist her.
00:17:36.32\00:17:40.06
And it took some
time to get through there
00:17:40.09\00:17:42.26
and find out what her fears were
00:17:42.29\00:17:44.33
and what things that
she was worried about
00:17:44.36\00:17:46.16
and things she
was concerned about,
00:17:46.19\00:17:47.60
but she surprised me
00:17:47.63\00:17:48.96
because she's like,
"Well, God's got this covered,
00:17:49.00\00:17:50.77
you know.
00:17:50.80\00:17:52.13
It's all about faith."
00:17:52.17\00:17:53.60
She believed.
Isn't that amazing?
00:17:53.64\00:17:55.77
The faith out of
that little woman.
00:17:55.80\00:17:58.67
But she did.
00:17:58.71\00:18:00.04
Towards the end,
00:18:00.08\00:18:01.41
I found something that she said
00:18:01.44\00:18:02.88
that was something
I haven't heard before
00:18:02.91\00:18:04.85
about this health message,
00:18:04.88\00:18:06.55
the reason why she
found the spiritual important.
00:18:06.58\00:18:09.12
Of course, typically, she
believes that the spiritual
00:18:09.15\00:18:12.22
has to go with the health side.
00:18:12.25\00:18:13.69
She knows that it's God
that does the ultimate healing.
00:18:13.72\00:18:16.06
But she said something to me
00:18:16.09\00:18:17.89
and, you know, I
asked her, I said,
00:18:17.93\00:18:19.26
"What's your takeaway
with bringing the spiritual,
00:18:19.29\00:18:22.23
bringing God into
the health message?"
00:18:22.26\00:18:24.17
And I was expecting
the same typical answer,
00:18:24.20\00:18:26.27
"Well, God heals.
00:18:26.30\00:18:27.64
He'll give me power,
He'll give me strength,
00:18:27.67\00:18:29.07
He'll help me to overcome."
00:18:29.10\00:18:30.44
Those are the answers
00:18:30.47\00:18:31.81
that we normally hear
that God will help my will,
00:18:31.84\00:18:34.91
but with her, it
was this and she said,
00:18:34.94\00:18:37.38
"I want God to be
guiding my doctor's hand.
00:18:37.41\00:18:41.05
I want to be connected with God
00:18:41.08\00:18:42.75
because I want Him
00:18:42.78\00:18:44.12
to be working with these doctors
00:18:44.15\00:18:46.72
that are dealing with me."
00:18:46.76\00:18:48.12
And she even talked
about the doctors here,
00:18:48.16\00:18:50.39
as good as they are,
they can miss something.
00:18:50.43\00:18:52.86
And, you know,
00:18:52.89\00:18:54.23
she's going to have
surgery when she leaves here.
00:18:54.26\00:18:56.10
And one of her
concerns was this that,
00:18:56.13\00:18:58.53
"I really want the doctors
00:18:58.57\00:19:00.17
to be guiding
those surgeons hands.
00:19:00.20\00:19:02.80
I want the God to be
their eyes to help them see."
00:19:02.84\00:19:06.51
So from her point of view,
it was more of having God work
00:19:06.54\00:19:10.68
through her health professions,
00:19:10.71\00:19:12.05
and I've never
heard that before.
00:19:12.08\00:19:13.42
Wow.
00:19:13.45\00:19:14.78
You know, we
pray that prayer a lot
00:19:14.82\00:19:16.25
that God will guide our surgeons
00:19:16.28\00:19:18.85
and He's the master
surgeon and metaphysician
00:19:18.89\00:19:22.66
and a lot of things
that Jesus has been called.
00:19:22.69\00:19:25.46
But to hear say these
words, wow, I just go,
00:19:25.49\00:19:31.37
what more could
you have ask for.
00:19:31.40\00:19:33.03
Right.
00:19:33.07\00:19:34.40
And she's got a
great attitude about it.
00:19:34.44\00:19:37.77
And by the way, September 11...
00:19:37.81\00:19:40.34
Yeah, it's coming soon.
00:19:40.38\00:19:41.81
So it will be, it's
right around the corner,
00:19:41.84\00:19:43.61
a couple weeks out.
00:19:43.65\00:19:45.11
And I want to have a
group of us join in prayer
00:19:45.15\00:19:49.25
not just for Mary but
for Billy, for Jeffrey,
00:19:49.28\00:19:53.36
for all the people that
come through our program
00:19:53.39\00:19:56.29
'cause there
are so many in need.
00:19:56.32\00:19:58.29
But I got to tell you this.
00:19:58.33\00:20:00.76
When I'm sitting back
and I watch graduation,
00:20:00.80\00:20:04.13
and I see the people
of all these diseases,
00:20:04.17\00:20:07.30
and they all
make their testimony
00:20:07.34\00:20:09.67
evolving around God and
they're being rebaptized
00:20:09.70\00:20:15.21
and their faith
been reinstalled.
00:20:15.24\00:20:20.12
This tells me,
"Damon has done it again."
00:20:20.15\00:20:24.45
You know...
00:20:24.49\00:20:25.99
But, you know, something
else that comes out of this too.
00:20:26.02\00:20:27.92
When you see the God is,
you know, they're rededicating
00:20:27.96\00:20:32.26
their lives to God.
00:20:32.29\00:20:33.63
But if you also notice
00:20:33.66\00:20:35.00
how close they
become to one another,
00:20:35.03\00:20:36.70
which is one of the
signs of the Gospel,
00:20:36.73\00:20:38.63
"Your love for one another."
00:20:38.67\00:20:40.00
Amen.
00:20:40.04\00:20:41.37
And they all, they're
lifting one another up.
00:20:41.40\00:20:43.61
There talking
about their own healing,
00:20:43.64\00:20:45.01
but then you can look at...
00:20:45.04\00:20:46.84
As they look at
their fellow classmates
00:20:46.88\00:20:49.04
and they make comments
like, I just pray that God
00:20:49.08\00:20:51.31
heal sister so and so, I pray
00:20:51.35\00:20:52.91
that the God's
with you, brother,
00:20:52.95\00:20:54.48
and they have this
heart for one another.
00:20:54.52\00:20:56.95
So it's like not
just a personal healing,
00:20:56.99\00:20:59.85
but you can truly
see the Spirit of God
00:20:59.89\00:21:02.12
working not just in
their personal lives
00:21:02.16\00:21:04.13
but in the group at large.
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.26
Amen. Amen.
00:21:06.29\00:21:08.00
I love that.
00:21:08.03\00:21:09.60
Oh, we've run out of time.
00:21:09.63\00:21:11.07
That's the fastest
five minutes I've ever seen.
00:21:11.10\00:21:13.64
I want to thank you, Damon.
00:21:13.67\00:21:15.24
We will see you around campus.
00:21:15.27\00:21:16.60
And thank you. Don't go away.
00:21:16.64\00:21:17.97
Stay tuned for the next segment.
00:21:18.01\00:21:19.67
When we look at
the health status
00:21:21.48\00:21:22.94
of Americans today,
00:21:22.98\00:21:24.31
it's alarming to see that 60%
are either overweight or obese.
00:21:24.35\00:21:28.92
In addition, diseases such
as type two diabetes, cancer,
00:21:34.09\00:21:37.56
and heart disorders
are the leading cause
00:21:37.59\00:21:39.53
of so many complications
and deaths every year.
00:21:39.56\00:21:42.76
Could it have something
to do with what we eat?
00:21:46.97\00:21:49.54
After all, every
one in four Americans
00:21:49.57\00:21:52.17
visit a fast
food restaurant daily.
00:21:52.21\00:21:54.38
And with such easy
access to quick-fix foods,
00:21:54.41\00:21:57.95
we tend to forget
the poor health value
00:21:57.98\00:21:59.95
those foods actually offer.
00:21:59.98\00:22:02.95
Maybe it's the
sedentary lifestyle
00:22:02.98\00:22:04.79
and lack of exercise that
we've become so accustomed
00:22:04.82\00:22:07.39
to as a media-dependent world.
00:22:07.42\00:22:10.29
Whatever the
cause of these diseases,
00:22:10.33\00:22:12.13
a solution has arrived.
00:22:12.16\00:22:16.33
The NEWSTART lifestyle center
offers an enriching program
00:22:16.36\00:22:19.83
where patients can get a healing
00:22:19.87\00:22:21.47
of mind, body, and soul.
00:22:21.50\00:22:23.64
Located on the
outskirts of Sacramento,
00:22:23.67\00:22:26.17
the NEWSTART center
00:22:26.21\00:22:27.54
is situated on
the beautiful campus
00:22:27.58\00:22:29.28
of Weimar Center
of Health Education
00:22:29.31\00:22:32.11
with scenic walking and
hiking trails all around.
00:22:32.15\00:22:35.88
With a whole plant
foods eaten whole motto,
00:22:35.92\00:22:39.19
the NEWSTART center promotes
a healthy plant-based diet
00:22:39.22\00:22:42.36
with an emphasis
on natural foods.
00:22:42.39\00:22:44.83
The NEWSTART
staff are made up of
00:22:44.86\00:22:46.80
California board-certified
nurses, doctors, dieticians,
00:22:46.83\00:22:51.53
and therapists who work together
00:22:51.57\00:22:53.23
to assist each
patient personally.
00:22:53.27\00:22:55.70
The staff are dedicated
to each patient's success
00:22:55.74\00:22:58.34
in the program, and
are always there to guide,
00:22:58.37\00:23:01.24
advice, and encourage.
00:23:01.28\00:23:03.21
In addition to a
healthy lifestyle,
00:23:03.24\00:23:05.38
NEWSTART also promotes a
healthy exercise routine.
00:23:05.41\00:23:08.48
You're both in
sequence, that's good.
00:23:08.52\00:23:10.52
All right.
00:23:10.55\00:23:11.95
As part of the balance program,
there is much opportunity
00:23:11.99\00:23:14.26
to get in the fair
share of physical activity
00:23:14.29\00:23:16.83
from utilizing
our fitness center
00:23:16.86\00:23:19.09
to taking a stroll around
the peaceful grounds of Weimar.
00:23:19.13\00:23:22.73
It's amazing what a
new start can do for you.
00:23:22.76\00:23:27.60
Welcome to NEWSTART Now.
00:23:27.64\00:23:29.07
I'm Dr. Neil Nedley,
President of Weimar Institute.
00:23:29.10\00:23:32.01
And with me today
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez,
00:23:32.04\00:23:34.88
one of our
researchers and physicians here
00:23:34.91\00:23:36.88
at NEWSTART who also
teaches at Weimar College.
00:23:36.91\00:23:41.25
Actually, we've
been teaming up together
00:23:41.28\00:23:42.85
to do quite a number of studies,
00:23:42.88\00:23:45.05
looking at NEWSTART,
and a lot of other things
00:23:45.09\00:23:47.12
that happened here at Weimar,
00:23:47.16\00:23:48.56
in depression and
anxiety recovery as well.
00:23:48.59\00:23:51.49
But today, we're going
to take a look at a subgroup
00:23:51.53\00:23:54.36
of patients that
this scientific journal
00:23:54.40\00:23:57.53
was very interested in.
00:23:57.57\00:23:59.13
It's a subgroup
called Post-Menopausal Women.
00:23:59.17\00:24:03.54
And of course, a lot of
women when they're younger
00:24:03.57\00:24:06.34
look forward to the days
00:24:06.37\00:24:07.91
when they won't have to go
through that monthly cycle,
00:24:07.94\00:24:10.91
and they won't have to
worry about that bleeding.
00:24:10.95\00:24:13.58
But unfortunately,
when they are ready to go
00:24:13.62\00:24:17.32
through that
cycle and afterwards,
00:24:17.35\00:24:19.25
they tend to get
00:24:19.29\00:24:20.82
pretty
unhealthy here in America.
00:24:20.86\00:24:23.12
Their cholesterols go
up, their waistlines go up,
00:24:23.16\00:24:26.59
and even though
they're not having periods,
00:24:26.63\00:24:28.80
they're on healthy,
00:24:28.83\00:24:30.17
and they're at the
risk of a lot of problems,
00:24:30.20\00:24:32.10
like heart disease and
stroke and breast cancer
00:24:32.13\00:24:35.54
and all sorts of other issues.
00:24:35.57\00:24:37.74
And so how many
post-menopausal women
00:24:37.77\00:24:41.44
were looked at in this study?
00:24:41.48\00:24:42.84
We had 793 ladies
that have gone through
00:24:42.88\00:24:47.78
this 14 years of
data that we have
00:24:47.82\00:24:50.55
on this NEWSTAR program.
00:24:50.59\00:24:51.92
Okay,
00:24:51.95\00:24:53.29
so this was 14 years of data.
00:24:53.32\00:24:54.86
Of course,
there's a lot more people
00:24:54.89\00:24:57.13
would have gone
through the program on this,
00:24:57.16\00:24:59.29
but we didn't have
00:24:59.33\00:25:00.66
that past data available for us.
00:25:00.70\00:25:03.30
So this is the more recent,
00:25:03.33\00:25:05.53
14 years, brand
new modern women,
00:25:05.57\00:25:08.97
many of them or
most of them have,
00:25:09.00\00:25:11.31
of course, they're still around.
00:25:11.34\00:25:12.67
In fact, if you
came to NEWSTART,
00:25:12.71\00:25:14.04
I would imagine
pretty much all of them
00:25:14.08\00:25:15.51
are still around as long
as they're carrying through
00:25:15.54\00:25:19.01
what they've learned here
00:25:19.05\00:25:20.38
which most do.
00:25:20.42\00:25:21.88
And so tell us a
little bit about what happened
00:25:21.92\00:25:24.09
to these almost 800 women.
00:25:24.12\00:25:25.75
Yep.
00:25:25.79\00:25:27.12
Well, something we see
in medical consultation,
00:25:27.16\00:25:29.22
as they pass
through that changed,
00:25:29.26\00:25:31.43
their numbers in cholesterol
00:25:31.46\00:25:32.89
and so forth start
going in the wrong direction.
00:25:32.93\00:25:36.46
For example, on
the LDL cholesterol,
00:25:36.50\00:25:39.30
a very good
cholesterol that correlates
00:25:39.33\00:25:42.17
to heart disease and
stroke and very negative events,
00:25:42.20\00:25:46.68
they were able to lower it
00:25:46.71\00:25:48.08
very nicely from 135 on average,
00:25:48.11\00:25:51.81
by the end 117 their average.
00:25:51.85\00:25:55.15
Okay, and that's not
using any medicine, Doc.
00:25:55.18\00:25:57.52
That is actually
without any medication
00:25:57.55\00:26:00.29
to lower cholesterol.
00:26:00.32\00:26:01.72
Just a few days
of lifestyle changes.
00:26:01.76\00:26:04.36
It's amazing what can happen
00:26:04.39\00:26:06.80
from years of
beating your body up
00:26:06.83\00:26:09.53
through a poor
diet and exercise,
00:26:09.56\00:26:11.27
what can happen
when you come to Weimar,
00:26:11.30\00:26:13.07
in just a matter of a few days,
00:26:13.10\00:26:15.40
how quickly the body
starts to heal itself.
00:26:15.44\00:26:18.21
And specially, in
this particular age group,
00:26:18.24\00:26:21.84
that's the time that
people start taking medications.
00:26:21.88\00:26:25.08
And when a physician
starts seeing these numbers,
00:26:25.11\00:26:27.62
he gets worried
00:26:27.65\00:26:28.98
and adding and adding
and adding more medications
00:26:29.02\00:26:31.65
that have side
effects and so forth.
00:26:31.69\00:26:33.76
So the beauty of
this is that these ladies
00:26:33.79\00:26:35.96
were able to
improve those numbers
00:26:35.99\00:26:39.26
and at the same time decrease
00:26:39.29\00:26:41.33
in some of the
medications and feeling great.
00:26:41.36\00:26:44.43
Other number that
improved very nicely
00:26:44.47\00:26:46.33
was their mean
cholesterol from...
00:26:46.37\00:26:49.00
At 221, it came down to 195,
00:26:49.04\00:26:54.11
and a mode of 175.
00:26:54.14\00:26:56.18
Most of the ladies
had that 175 number.
00:26:56.21\00:26:59.65
Okay.
00:26:59.68\00:27:01.02
So that's significant.
00:27:01.05\00:27:02.38
That's about 50, sometimes,
00:27:02.42\00:27:04.65
50 number drop in
milligrams per deciliter
00:27:04.69\00:27:08.66
just in a few days
by coming to a NEWSTART.
00:27:08.69\00:27:11.93
Also, their weight improved.
00:27:11.96\00:27:13.29
Their weight improved.
00:27:13.33\00:27:14.66
On average, they were losing
four pounds which is very good.
00:27:14.70\00:27:18.17
We don't want that
huge drop in weight
00:27:18.20\00:27:21.27
because you
going to gain it back
00:27:21.30\00:27:23.00
as you start losing
weight little by little.
00:27:23.04\00:27:25.51
And you continue that,
00:27:25.54\00:27:27.24
these numbers, the other numbers
00:27:27.28\00:27:29.11
will actually
continue to improve
00:27:29.14\00:27:31.11
as you improve that weight.
00:27:31.15\00:27:33.45
So if you know any
post menopausal woman
00:27:33.48\00:27:36.28
who needs an
additional boost in their health
00:27:36.32\00:27:39.69
and needs to lower
their risk factors for death,
00:27:39.72\00:27:42.89
dying, stroke, and heart attack,
00:27:42.92\00:27:45.56
I want to
encourage you to call us
00:27:45.59\00:27:47.23
