Hi, friends,
00:01:11.73\00:01:13.07
and welcome to another
edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:13.10\00:01:15.50
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:15.54\00:01:17.84
In our studio we
have a lovely lady
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.58
that I want to introduce you to,
00:01:20.61\00:01:22.14
but before I do,
00:01:22.18\00:01:24.11
I want you to watch a
clip when she first arrived.
00:01:24.15\00:01:26.78
I came here last year
because I have bladder cancer.
00:01:29.98\00:01:35.86
I was diagnosed
with bladder cancer.
00:01:35.89\00:01:38.23
And I was told
that a place like this
00:01:38.26\00:01:43.83
I could do natural
treatments and get some relief.
00:01:43.87\00:01:47.94
And there were other
things that I didn't know about
00:01:47.97\00:01:51.97
that I could get
00:01:52.01\00:01:53.51
that I found out afterward.
00:01:53.54\00:01:55.91
So anything else
I got after that,
00:01:55.94\00:01:58.05
it was just a sugar
on the top as you say.
00:01:58.08\00:02:02.65
I mean, this time I came
back to do the fever treatments
00:02:02.68\00:02:07.29
again as opposed to
doing the other treatments
00:02:07.32\00:02:12.36
for the cancer
00:02:12.39\00:02:13.73
because this type of
cancer recurs very quickly.
00:02:13.76\00:02:17.77
And so is this kind of like
00:02:17.80\00:02:19.53
to add insurance and
to also to take a breaking
00:02:19.57\00:02:24.54
and build on what I
have learned the first time.
00:02:24.57\00:02:28.14
Every year in America,
00:02:31.65\00:02:32.98
there are over
one million deaths
00:02:33.01\00:02:34.35
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:02:34.38\00:02:37.19
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:02:37.22\00:02:39.55
That's six and a half
747s crashing every day.
00:02:39.59\00:02:43.16
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:02:43.19\00:02:46.53
It's your lifestyle.
00:02:46.56\00:02:48.00
Wouldn't it be nice
00:02:48.03\00:02:49.36
if you could actually add
quality years to your life
00:02:49.40\00:02:51.33
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:02:51.37\00:02:54.24
Obesity and diabetes
00:02:54.27\00:02:55.60
are the cause of over
million deaths per year.
00:02:55.64\00:02:58.51
Most diseases are reversible
00:02:58.54\00:03:00.61
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:03:00.64\00:03:03.48
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:03:03.51\00:03:06.92
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:03:06.95\00:03:09.15
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.
00:03:09.18\00:03:12.72
Call NEWSTART
today at 1-800-525-9192.
00:03:12.75\00:03:18.99
You will see dramatic changes
00:03:19.03\00:03:20.53
in the first few
days of our program
00:03:20.56\00:03:22.53
and you'll be on the road
00:03:22.56\00:03:23.90
to a better more
robust quality of life.
00:03:23.93\00:03:26.70
The NEWSTART programs
are simple and effective.
00:03:26.74\00:03:29.50
Welcome back, friends, help me
00:03:33.58\00:03:35.14
welcome Ronda
Badell all the way from...
00:03:35.18\00:03:39.78
Maryland.
Maryland, that isn't far.
00:03:39.81\00:03:42.45
That's on the other
side of the continent.
00:03:42.48\00:03:44.32
That's right.
00:03:44.35\00:03:45.82
I want to get
right in and ask you this
00:03:45.85\00:03:47.99
because we talked about
it before the program began.
00:03:48.02\00:03:51.73
You were here in
September of 2017, right?
00:03:51.76\00:03:54.76
That's correct. Okay.
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.60
And in September, 2017,
00:03:56.63\00:03:59.33
what's happened
since then, real quick?
00:03:59.37\00:04:02.64
Well, I started
walking, and walking,
00:04:02.67\00:04:06.61
and using the program,
00:04:06.64\00:04:08.14
and I've lost 50 pounds.
00:04:08.18\00:04:09.61
Fifty pounds? Fifty pounds.
00:04:09.64\00:04:11.48
Praise God.
00:04:11.51\00:04:12.85
And now up to present day,
00:04:12.88\00:04:16.22
you came here about 17 days ago,
00:04:16.25\00:04:18.95
have you continually
lose weight in the session?
00:04:18.99\00:04:21.32
Yes, I have lost a few pounds.
00:04:21.36\00:04:23.19
Okay, good.
00:04:23.22\00:04:24.56
I'm not trying to,
but I've lost a few.
00:04:24.59\00:04:28.70
So you came here to
assist your husband?
00:04:28.73\00:04:33.47
That's correct.
That's correct, right?
00:04:33.50\00:04:34.87
That's correct.
00:04:34.90\00:04:36.24
And so, but then you found out
00:04:36.27\00:04:38.14
that you really
needed some treatment?
00:04:38.17\00:04:40.51
That's right. Right.
00:04:40.54\00:04:41.88
Let's talk about that?
00:04:41.91\00:04:43.35
Okay.
00:04:43.38\00:04:45.18
A few days before we
were going to come here,
00:04:45.21\00:04:49.08
I found out I
had bladder cancer.
00:04:49.12\00:04:51.82
And so we had to postpone...
00:04:51.85\00:04:53.72
Now, a few days, you
mean, like a week or...?
00:04:53.76\00:04:56.46
Yes, a week before we were
supposed to come in August.
00:04:56.49\00:05:00.16
You wanted to come here
00:05:00.20\00:05:01.53
rather than go for the
treatments they get in.
00:05:01.56\00:05:03.16
No, we...
00:05:03.20\00:05:04.67
A week before we
were going to come
00:05:04.70\00:05:06.40
when I found out,
00:05:06.43\00:05:07.77
and so we had to postpone,
I had surgery in Maryland.
00:05:07.80\00:05:12.51
And then we came 10
days after the surgery.
00:05:12.54\00:05:16.34
Oh, I see, so you
postponed the first session.
00:05:16.38\00:05:20.72
And you decided not
to come here right away,
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.65
you had to do the surgery,
00:05:22.68\00:05:24.69
then you came
during this last session?
00:05:24.72\00:05:27.79
That's right. In September.
00:05:27.82\00:05:29.16
Okay, I'm with it.
00:05:29.19\00:05:30.56
All right, so
what's happened now?
00:05:30.59\00:05:33.29
How do you feel? I
feel really good now.
00:05:33.33\00:05:36.60
I feel great.
00:05:36.63\00:05:37.97
Ever since following the program
00:05:38.00\00:05:40.44
through the months
00:05:40.47\00:05:41.80
and coming here for
follow up treatment.
00:05:41.84\00:05:47.48
I feel great.
00:05:47.51\00:05:48.91
Is anything
different in the staff
00:05:48.94\00:05:52.81
or the program
00:05:52.85\00:05:55.82
between September
of last year and today?
00:05:55.85\00:05:59.59
Yes, there are some changes.
00:05:59.62\00:06:01.42
But, you know, when you
come to a program like this,
00:06:01.46\00:06:04.76
you can't learn everything.
00:06:04.79\00:06:06.43
No, you can't.
00:06:06.46\00:06:07.93
There's so much, and I guess
00:06:07.96\00:06:09.30
I was focused on helping
my husband back in September.
00:06:09.33\00:06:12.73
I wasn't focused on me totally.
00:06:12.77\00:06:16.14
And so I'm
learning a lot of stuff
00:06:16.17\00:06:17.77
that I hadn't really
absorbed I guess before.
00:06:20.84\00:06:24.61
Now this time you
received fever treatments?
00:06:24.65\00:06:28.82
That's correct.
00:06:28.85\00:06:30.19
Quickly tell us,
what is a fever treatment?
00:06:30.22\00:06:32.69
Well, they put
you in a tub of water.
00:06:32.72\00:06:35.32
Hot water, right? Hot
water, 109, 110 degrees.
00:06:35.36\00:06:40.83
And you maintain a
temperature of about 103
00:06:40.86\00:06:44.47
for at least 20 minutes.
00:06:44.50\00:06:46.10
Do you know why?
00:06:46.13\00:06:47.64
It's to build
your immune system,
00:06:47.67\00:06:49.40
to boost immune system
00:06:49.44\00:06:50.91
because the treatments I
receive for bladder cancer
00:06:50.94\00:06:55.94
are to boost your immune system.
00:06:55.98\00:06:57.78
And guess what else that does?
00:06:57.81\00:06:59.71
Cancers cannot live in heat.
00:06:59.75\00:07:03.25
So you're raising the
body's core temperature
00:07:03.28\00:07:06.42
to 103 for 20-25 minutes.
00:07:06.45\00:07:09.79
And then it not only builds
the immune system, it kills,
00:07:09.82\00:07:13.63
it gives the fighter
cells a chance to get in there
00:07:13.66\00:07:16.50
and start shooting
those cancers cells.
00:07:16.53\00:07:19.17
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:07:19.20\00:07:20.54
How many treatments did you get?
00:07:20.57\00:07:22.07
I've had four so far.
00:07:22.10\00:07:23.51
And I have two more to go.
00:07:23.54\00:07:25.14
Two more, so you
had a total of six.
00:07:25.17\00:07:28.11
Two more before I
leave. Yes. Great.
00:07:28.14\00:07:30.11
I was hoping that
they will give you.
00:07:30.15\00:07:31.98
Yeah. At least that to a week.
00:07:32.01\00:07:35.05
So what was your
favorite part of the program?
00:07:35.08\00:07:38.85
You know, my favorite
part of the program is
00:07:38.89\00:07:43.89
learning about
the different foods.
00:07:43.93\00:07:49.20
It's hard to say
what's the most favorite,
00:07:49.23\00:07:51.40
but learning
00:07:51.43\00:07:52.83
the different
foods and the walking.
00:07:52.87\00:07:55.14
How far you're walking?
00:07:55.17\00:07:56.57
I'm walking five
miles plus a day.
00:07:56.60\00:07:59.17
Wow.
00:07:59.21\00:08:00.54
When you originally got
here, you couldn't walk at all.
00:08:00.58\00:08:03.61
I couldn't walk
more than a mile if that.
00:08:03.65\00:08:06.72
If that, right.
00:08:06.75\00:08:08.08
Yes, I could not.
00:08:08.12\00:08:10.22
Bad back, bad
legs, other issues.
00:08:10.25\00:08:15.49
How's your back holding up?
00:08:15.52\00:08:17.09
You had some back issues?
00:08:17.13\00:08:18.99
Yeah, I still have back issues.
00:08:19.03\00:08:21.43
We did a series of treatments
last week that really helped.
00:08:21.46\00:08:25.93
And so I feel a
lot better today.
00:08:25.97\00:08:29.24
And they've also
given me some tools
00:08:29.27\00:08:31.61
that hopefully I can use
00:08:31.64\00:08:32.97
when I get home to help my back.
00:08:33.01\00:08:36.75
And does the program
met your expectations?
00:08:36.78\00:08:41.25
Oh, yes.
00:08:41.28\00:08:42.68
By far.
00:08:42.72\00:08:44.05
Good. Good.
00:08:44.09\00:08:45.42
By far.
00:08:45.45\00:08:46.79
And so you enjoyed the hydro.
00:08:46.82\00:08:48.16
What about, I want to
ask you about Pastor Damon,
00:08:48.19\00:08:52.73
his morning worship?
00:08:52.76\00:08:54.76
What do you think of that?
00:08:54.80\00:08:56.70
He has some
tremendous topics and sermons
00:08:56.73\00:09:01.84
bring you down to the basics
of your Christian experience
00:09:01.87\00:09:05.84
and how it
intertwines with your health.
00:09:05.87\00:09:10.78
It's impossible
to break them apart.
00:09:10.81\00:09:14.55
Good health, the Lord
wants us to have good health.
00:09:14.58\00:09:19.49
But we have to follow
what He wants us to do.
00:09:19.52\00:09:23.49
Yeah.
00:09:23.53\00:09:24.86
You realize
00:09:24.89\00:09:26.59
you weren't one of
the nine people baptized?
00:09:26.63\00:09:28.86
No.
00:09:28.90\00:09:30.23
Got nine people
baptized on Sabbath.
00:09:30.27\00:09:32.20
Yes. That's right.
That's got to be a record.
00:09:32.23\00:09:34.44
Yeah. That's awesome.
00:09:34.47\00:09:37.14
So what do you
take it from here on?
00:09:37.17\00:09:39.04
Now, what you're going
to do when you get home?
00:09:39.07\00:09:42.78
I have people
00:09:42.81\00:09:44.31
since I've been
here the first time.
00:09:44.35\00:09:47.65
I have people who
are waiting for me
00:09:47.68\00:09:50.59
to give them more information
00:09:50.62\00:09:52.95
and to help
them with their diet,
00:09:52.99\00:09:55.26
and help them with
00:09:55.29\00:09:56.62
some of the things
that they're doing.
00:09:56.66\00:09:57.99
So I kind of like to
share what I've learned,
00:09:58.03\00:10:02.20
I can't keep it to myself.
00:10:02.23\00:10:03.67
Amen.
00:10:03.70\00:10:05.03
I was supposed to
write that. No. No.
00:10:05.07\00:10:06.70
But I can't because...
00:10:06.74\00:10:08.57
Well, I'd like you
to stay in touch with me
00:10:08.60\00:10:13.41
and hopefully encourage you.
00:10:13.44\00:10:16.95
Not that you need a
whole lot of encouragement,
00:10:16.98\00:10:18.65
you sound just ready to go. Yes.
00:10:18.68\00:10:21.35
But I want to thank you
00:10:21.38\00:10:22.85
for taking your
time for this interview,
00:10:22.88\00:10:25.85
and welcome you,
00:10:25.89\00:10:27.22
and say good bye
at the same time.
00:10:27.26\00:10:29.62
So thanks again. Okay. Okay.
00:10:29.66\00:10:32.09
Friends, don't go away,
Pastor Damon will be up next.
00:10:32.13\00:10:35.73
Welcome back, friends.
00:11:10.03\00:11:11.87
Today, we have in
studio, Dr. Kuninobo.
00:11:11.90\00:11:16.10
Dr. Kay, welcome.
00:11:16.14\00:11:18.01
Thank you so much,
Damon. It's good to be here.
00:11:18.04\00:11:19.84
And we're going to
be talking about Ronda.
00:11:19.87\00:11:24.11
Now, she's a
story of someone that,
00:11:24.15\00:11:26.82
that this happens often,
00:11:26.85\00:11:28.38
someone that's in great shape,
00:11:28.42\00:11:30.49
they're really
doing well in life,
00:11:30.52\00:11:32.02
they've got everything,
all their ducks in a row,
00:11:32.05\00:11:34.76
they're in health,
they're running around in life,
00:11:34.79\00:11:36.52
and then
everything goes haywire,
00:11:36.56\00:11:39.79
and then things
begin to compound
00:11:39.83\00:11:42.30
and compound,
00:11:42.33\00:11:43.67
and before you know it,
00:11:43.70\00:11:45.03
you're in really a
life threatening situation.
00:11:45.07\00:11:47.80
Can you tell us a
little bit about her today?
00:11:47.84\00:11:49.50
Sure.
00:11:49.54\00:11:50.87
You know, Ronda was an
athlete in high school.
00:11:50.91\00:11:53.24
She was either running
cross-country or track,
00:11:53.27\00:11:55.68
I'm not sure if I
can remember which one,
00:11:55.71\00:11:57.35
but she was in shape, athletic,
you know, picture of health.
00:11:57.38\00:12:02.65
Got married, was
raising a family.
00:12:05.65\00:12:07.19
I think she actually first went,
00:12:07.22\00:12:09.22
before raising a family
went to Africa as a missionary
00:12:09.26\00:12:11.73
if I'm not
mistaken along the way
00:12:11.76\00:12:13.66
where I think she may
have even met her husband.
00:12:13.70\00:12:16.30
But, so giving person,
00:12:16.33\00:12:18.80
you know, to
others working overseas.
00:12:18.83\00:12:24.44
But then comes back,
family, things start happening,
00:12:24.47\00:12:29.68
starts to gain weight,
starts to have back problems,
00:12:29.71\00:12:33.82
have some chronic pain
00:12:33.85\00:12:35.55
develop and
really significant pain.
00:12:35.58\00:12:38.25
I mean
difficulty moving etcetera.
00:12:38.29\00:12:42.16
And then all of a sudden,
boom, the big C comes along,
00:12:42.19\00:12:46.56
you know, diagnosed with cancer.
00:12:46.59\00:12:51.13
And, you know,
there's a lot of people
00:12:51.17\00:12:54.97
who would look at their life
00:12:55.00\00:12:57.51
and so it's, you know, not fair.
00:12:57.54\00:12:59.77
Just give up even at that time.
00:12:59.81\00:13:01.41
Yeah, it's not fair, you know.
00:13:01.44\00:13:02.94
I used to be this, now
I'm this, this and this.
00:13:02.98\00:13:06.38
And now I have this.
00:13:06.41\00:13:09.22
And I'm sure our viewers
00:13:09.25\00:13:11.49
can fill in the
blanks for themselves
00:13:11.52\00:13:13.69
on what those things are.
00:13:13.72\00:13:16.36
Yeah, she's at a time in
life where you're not young,
00:13:16.39\00:13:19.46
but you're not terribly old.
00:13:19.49\00:13:21.03
And so this was a
very pivotal point for her.
00:13:21.06\00:13:24.43
Yeah, she was at
prime of life really.
00:13:24.47\00:13:26.60
Prime of life.
00:13:26.63\00:13:28.04
Those middle years
00:13:28.07\00:13:29.40
when you should be
able to be enjoying,
00:13:29.44\00:13:30.97
seeing your kids, you
know, getting into their,
00:13:31.01\00:13:34.18
finishing their school,
00:13:34.21\00:13:36.24
they're getting
into their careers,
00:13:36.28\00:13:37.85
starting to enjoy,
00:13:37.88\00:13:39.21
you know, maybe looking
for to being a grandparent,
00:13:39.25\00:13:41.32
all of those things.
00:13:41.35\00:13:42.92
Well, you know, she's
been here twice, right?
00:13:42.95\00:13:45.35
Was it twice? Yes.
00:13:45.39\00:13:46.72
So when she came back,
00:13:46.76\00:13:48.32
it was noticeable by the
end of the second session
00:13:48.36\00:13:51.76
what is it that she
did that in your opinion
00:13:51.79\00:13:54.56
that was one of the great things
00:13:54.60\00:13:55.93
that she could
do for her health?
00:13:55.96\00:13:57.73
She decided not to let
the circumstances dictate
00:13:57.77\00:14:01.37
how she was going
to react to it all.
00:14:01.40\00:14:03.20
And she has been
proactive and say,
00:14:03.24\00:14:04.74
"Look, I know
that I can do something
00:14:04.77\00:14:07.51
to help my situation."
00:14:07.54\00:14:08.88
And she did, she
lost how much weight?
00:14:08.91\00:14:10.85
Well, since she
first came last fall,
00:14:10.88\00:14:13.72
and at the time of
00:14:13.75\00:14:15.38
when she came
back the second time
00:14:15.42\00:14:16.79
which was in the
spring, late spring,
00:14:16.82\00:14:18.89
she had lost 50 pounds. Yeah.
00:14:18.92\00:14:20.36
And I didn't recognize
her by the time it was over.
00:14:20.39\00:14:23.39
So she's a great
example of someone
00:14:23.43\00:14:26.63
who's going to
take control back.
00:14:26.66\00:14:29.73
She just followed
the NEWSTART principles.
00:14:29.76\00:14:31.13
That's it.
00:14:31.17\00:14:32.50
She just took it to heart
00:14:32.53\00:14:33.94
when to make
the dietary changes,
00:14:33.97\00:14:35.97
I'm going to
start exercising again.
00:14:36.00\00:14:38.71
Even though I hurt, I'm
going to work through that.
00:14:38.74\00:14:41.74
She drank water
00:14:41.78\00:14:43.11
and the pain started
progressively getting better.
00:14:43.14\00:14:45.38
And she still has painful days,
00:14:45.41\00:14:47.42
I mean there are
times that she does,
00:14:47.45\00:14:49.55
but she keeps
working through it all.
00:14:49.58\00:14:51.85
And it's interesting that
00:14:51.89\00:14:54.99
as she continued to
put herself forward,
00:14:55.02\00:14:58.93
God blessed her
00:14:58.96\00:15:00.30
with another
blessing of healing.
00:15:00.33\00:15:03.20
First it was the weight loss
and the improvement of pain,
00:15:03.23\00:15:06.90
so she could function better.
00:15:06.94\00:15:08.94
But He also blessed her
with, in the area of cancer,
00:15:08.97\00:15:11.34
they have not been able
to find traces of cancer.
00:15:11.37\00:15:15.08
And so we're still
praying, of course,
00:15:15.11\00:15:17.45
but she's been through
00:15:17.48\00:15:18.81
two sessions
with her oncologist,
00:15:18.85\00:15:21.18
haven't found cancer.
00:15:21.22\00:15:22.75
And even the other
patients have said,
00:15:22.78\00:15:25.25
"Doctor so and so said,
00:15:25.29\00:15:26.65
you didn't need
any more treatments."
00:15:26.69\00:15:28.62
She said, "Yeah, he
can't find the cancer."
00:15:28.66\00:15:30.83
And I guess so he's a guy
00:15:30.86\00:15:32.19
that would
normally be on the err
00:15:32.23\00:15:33.56
on the side of caution
in treat, treat, treat,
00:15:33.60\00:15:35.16
but he said,
00:15:35.20\00:15:36.53
"I don't see a reason
to continue doing this.
00:15:36.56\00:15:37.90
You're doing so well."
00:15:37.93\00:15:39.27
And then God has
opened up other things for her
00:15:39.30\00:15:41.57
and she started
learning to play the guitar
00:15:41.60\00:15:45.27
which I know is near and
dear to both of our hearts,
00:15:45.31\00:15:47.31
we both love acoustic guitar.
00:15:47.34\00:15:50.78
And what happened with
that was that she was invited
00:15:50.81\00:15:54.12
to start doing
things for her church.
00:15:54.15\00:15:56.99
First it was, you
know, play special music
00:15:57.02\00:15:58.89
and they found
out about her story,
00:15:58.92\00:16:01.29
saw her improving,
00:16:01.32\00:16:03.02
and God opened up a way for
her to share and help people.
00:16:03.06\00:16:07.60
And she said,
people have come up to her
00:16:07.63\00:16:09.60
that she hardly even knows
00:16:09.63\00:16:10.97
and say, to tell her,
00:16:11.00\00:16:12.37
what inspiration
she has been to them.
00:16:12.40\00:16:15.40
So that's important
00:16:15.44\00:16:17.04
because when God does
something in our lives,
00:16:17.07\00:16:19.81
it's not just a blessing for us,
00:16:19.84\00:16:22.24
it can be a tremendous
blessing for somebody else.
00:16:22.28\00:16:24.85
And she's living a life
00:16:24.88\00:16:26.21
that is giving honor
and glory to her God.
00:16:26.25\00:16:29.38
Right.
00:16:29.42\00:16:30.75
And that's
putting it back on her.
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.12
So she has put her body in
the best possible situation.
00:16:32.15\00:16:35.99
That's what I think of her.
00:16:36.02\00:16:37.36
She's placed herself
in the best situation
00:16:37.39\00:16:39.33
to fight
anything that comes along,
00:16:39.36\00:16:41.66
any disease by going
through the NEWSTART principles,
00:16:41.70\00:16:44.77
she's lost weight,
she's lessen her pain,
00:16:44.80\00:16:48.14
and then that's allowed her
to do more and more physically
00:16:48.17\00:16:51.17
and the numbers
have dropped down.
00:16:51.21\00:16:53.54
She's a great testimony.
00:16:53.58\00:16:55.01
And by the grace of God...
00:16:55.04\00:16:56.38
Yes, that's right.
00:16:56.41\00:16:57.95
Quit cancer too.
That's right. That's right.
00:16:57.98\00:16:59.95
And cancer is
gone, so hallelujah.
00:16:59.98\00:17:02.02
Praise the Lord.
00:17:02.05\00:17:03.39
Dr. Kay, unfortunately,
we're out of time.
00:17:03.42\00:17:05.15
But I appreciate you so much.
00:17:05.19\00:17:06.62
God bless your ministry.
00:17:06.65\00:17:08.32
Thank you so much,
Damon. It's always a pleasure.
00:17:08.36\00:17:10.96
Don't go away,
friends, we'll be right back.
00:17:10.99\00:17:12.33
Welcome back, friends,
help me welcome, Pastor Snead.
00:17:15.70\00:17:18.80
Thank you.
00:17:18.83\00:17:20.17
Yeah, let me first just clear up
00:17:20.20\00:17:21.74
what's going on here.
00:17:21.77\00:17:23.30
You were sitting here
interviewing the doctors.
00:17:23.34\00:17:27.18
Yeah, was a
very strange feeling.
00:17:27.21\00:17:28.64
I would rather be
here than over there.
00:17:28.68\00:17:31.98
Well, yeah, I'd rather
be here than over there.
00:17:32.01\00:17:34.18
Because I don't know if I
could answer these questions.
00:17:34.22\00:17:36.82
And I don't mean to
put you on the spot.
00:17:36.85\00:17:39.95
However, with regards to Ronda,
00:17:39.99\00:17:43.29
and by the way thank
you for filling in for me.
00:17:43.32\00:17:46.93
With regards to Ronda,
she had been here before,
00:17:46.96\00:17:51.13
she's done a great
job in losing weight,
00:17:51.17\00:17:55.30
her attitude seems really
good, she's a cancer survivor.
00:17:55.34\00:18:02.08
Why did she come back?
00:18:02.11\00:18:03.81
Yeah, I was really
surprised to see her.
00:18:03.85\00:18:07.32
Normally, when people come back,
00:18:07.35\00:18:09.35
you take one look at them,
00:18:09.38\00:18:10.72
you know, "Okay, I know
why they're coming back."
00:18:10.75\00:18:13.76
You know, they've got off
of the wagon in their life.
00:18:13.79\00:18:16.99
They'll tell you that.
00:18:17.03\00:18:18.36
But when I saw her,
00:18:18.39\00:18:19.76
not only was I
surprised to see her
00:18:19.79\00:18:21.36
because she did so well
when she left the first time
00:18:21.40\00:18:24.90
that I didn't recognize her.
00:18:24.93\00:18:26.70
The second time
she came back I was...
00:18:26.74\00:18:30.47
She had done more
than when she had left,
00:18:30.51\00:18:32.67
completely shrunk
up, lost tons of weight,
00:18:32.71\00:18:34.78
I didn't even
recognize her facial features,
00:18:34.81\00:18:36.54
she had lost so much weight.
00:18:36.58\00:18:37.91
And I'm thinking,
why is she coming back?
00:18:37.95\00:18:41.62
What you're doing here?
00:18:41.65\00:18:42.98
You don't need me here.
00:18:43.02\00:18:44.35
No, but she tells us later
00:18:44.39\00:18:46.25
that she felt that she
wanted to go deeper with it.
00:18:46.29\00:18:50.09
She wanted to really
grasp those principles
00:18:50.13\00:18:53.66
and really dedicate her life
00:18:53.70\00:18:56.23
to the very
minute details of it.
00:18:56.26\00:18:59.23
Yeah, she wanted to
stay connected I think
00:18:59.27\00:19:01.80
because a lot of
people get in their mind
00:19:01.84\00:19:04.11
that this is the
source, the NEWSTART.
00:19:04.14\00:19:07.88
They don't really
remember that God is the source.
00:19:07.91\00:19:10.85
But they feel
that this is the source
00:19:10.88\00:19:12.61
they're going to go back,
00:19:12.65\00:19:13.98
plug in to the source,
recharge their batteries.
00:19:14.02\00:19:17.29
Her batteries were full on.
00:19:17.32\00:19:19.59
She was doing great.
00:19:19.62\00:19:21.12
She had been in the
past, she is currently.
00:19:21.16\00:19:24.26
But, you know,
she has a testimony
00:19:24.29\00:19:27.36
that I just
think it's wonderful,
00:19:27.40\00:19:29.76
especially now adding
the spiritual component.
00:19:29.80\00:19:33.50
Sure, and I think that
00:19:33.54\00:19:35.90
what I learned from her
and it was a great insight.
00:19:35.94\00:19:41.14
Is that just because
you've learned something.
00:19:41.18\00:19:44.81
And this is a mistake a
lot of people make at NEWSTART.
00:19:44.85\00:19:47.55
Just because you learn it
and you get the ideas down,
00:19:47.58\00:19:52.15
and you go home.
00:19:52.19\00:19:54.62
It's got to become
part of who you are.
00:19:54.66\00:19:56.89
Truly you've got to
embrace it a lifestyle change
00:19:56.93\00:20:00.93
and with the spiritual,
00:20:00.96\00:20:02.30
that what I got from her is
the same with the spiritual.
00:20:02.33\00:20:04.97
You can't just grasp the
principles of the gospel,
00:20:05.00\00:20:08.34
say, okay I got, you know,
step one, step two, step three,
00:20:08.37\00:20:11.67
step four, step five, step six.
00:20:11.71\00:20:13.51
I get that, I understand that.
00:20:13.54\00:20:15.14
It's really got to
become part of who you are.
00:20:15.18\00:20:17.85
You really got to
embrace the gospel message
00:20:17.88\00:20:20.78
of what Christ has done for
us, what He wants to do in us,
00:20:20.82\00:20:23.99
what He wants to do out of us.
00:20:24.02\00:20:25.62
You know, all of
those principles revealed
00:20:25.65\00:20:27.56
in that little
book, Steps to Christ.
00:20:27.59\00:20:30.13
And she's a great example
00:20:30.16\00:20:32.39
of someone on the
physical and spiritual side
00:20:32.43\00:20:35.10
that gets that concept.
00:20:35.13\00:20:36.56
You've really got
to live this stuff.
00:20:36.60\00:20:38.57
And if I got to
come back here to reboot
00:20:38.60\00:20:41.04
and get deeper down into it,
00:20:41.07\00:20:43.07
so that I can
continue to live it out,
00:20:43.10\00:20:45.07
well, that's what
everyone needs to do,
00:20:45.11\00:20:47.58
spiritually and physically.
00:20:47.61\00:20:49.01
Amen.
00:20:49.04\00:20:50.45
I'm telling you,
00:20:50.48\00:20:52.38
you know, having been
on the program now myself,
00:20:52.41\00:20:56.18
13 years this month by the way
00:20:56.22\00:20:59.12
is when I came
through as a guest.
00:20:59.15\00:21:02.36
And if you don't stick to
it, you're going to lose it.
00:21:02.39\00:21:06.70
And, you know, there's a time
where I backslid so to speak.
00:21:06.73\00:21:11.43
But it wasn't on the diet,
00:21:11.47\00:21:13.23
it wasn't on the food,
00:21:13.27\00:21:14.60
it wasn't on the
spiritual, it's on the physical.
00:21:14.64\00:21:17.84
And if you forget that,
00:21:17.87\00:21:20.54
a lot of bad things
can happen, you know.
00:21:20.58\00:21:24.35
Go ahead. No, I was done.
00:21:24.38\00:21:26.21
I'm just asking you now,
00:21:26.25\00:21:29.02
what is most critical
for you as far as a pastor?
00:21:29.05\00:21:32.99
Well, for me as a pastor
00:21:33.02\00:21:34.59
that what you said
is actually golden.
00:21:34.62\00:21:37.49
When you look at the
eight principles of health,
00:21:37.53\00:21:40.80
and you look it and I do,
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.26
coincidently I do eight
major concepts of the gospel.
00:21:42.30\00:21:46.43
You can't get
lack some in one area
00:21:46.47\00:21:48.60
because they're
all interconnected,
00:21:48.64\00:21:50.07
they all affect one another.
00:21:50.11\00:21:51.44
You can't say, "Well,
I'm doing good in seven
00:21:51.47\00:21:52.94
and then the eighth
one I'm going to let go
00:21:52.97\00:21:54.88
which in your case was
the physical exercise."
00:21:54.91\00:21:57.41
And it got you.
00:21:57.45\00:21:58.85
And for me as a
pastor, I'll tell to people,
00:21:58.88\00:22:00.92
look you can understand
it all, but you can't let,
00:22:00.95\00:22:02.85
say repentance go,
00:22:02.88\00:22:04.22
you can't forget
about conviction,
00:22:04.25\00:22:05.62
you can't forget
about down to self.
00:22:05.65\00:22:07.66
It's always going to
be all of it in our mind.
00:22:07.69\00:22:10.93
And NEWSTART guests learn
00:22:10.96\00:22:12.96
that the hard way
about the health principles
00:22:12.99\00:22:15.76
and I'm here to help them say,
00:22:15.80\00:22:17.13
"It's the same
thing spiritually,
00:22:17.17\00:22:18.83
you cannot let a piece of it go,
00:22:18.87\00:22:20.77
we got to do daily
focus on these things."
00:22:20.80\00:22:24.04
Amen.
00:22:24.07\00:22:25.41
Our time is out, Brother.
00:22:25.44\00:22:26.78
Thank you,
Damon, again. All right.
00:22:26.81\00:22:28.14
Don't go away.
00:22:28.18\00:22:29.51
We got something
for you following this.
00:22:29.54\00:22:31.51
Welcome to Weimar
Institute Research.
00:22:34.72\00:22:37.32
Glad you're with us today
for another exciting analysis.
00:22:37.35\00:22:42.66
Studies that get published
00:22:42.69\00:22:44.19
in the Peer Review
Scientific Literature,
00:22:44.23\00:22:46.53
they're that important.
00:22:46.56\00:22:48.43
And Weimar Institute
00:22:48.46\00:22:49.96
is cranking out a lot
of research these days.
00:22:50.00\00:22:53.00
And one of the reasons is
because of Dr. Eddy Ramirez
00:22:53.03\00:22:56.14
who is the head of
Weimar Institute Research
00:22:56.17\00:22:59.21
and teaches research
methods at the college.
00:22:59.24\00:23:02.74
And we're actually analyzing
going back in our database
00:23:02.78\00:23:06.78
and analyzing those
00:23:06.82\00:23:08.78
who have gone
through the NEWSTART program.
00:23:08.82\00:23:11.42
And you took some
students and some others
00:23:11.45\00:23:13.76
and you systematically went
through 11 years of patience.
00:23:13.79\00:23:19.26
And this particular
study is quite interesting.
00:23:19.29\00:23:23.97
First of all, let's just talk
about where it got published,
00:23:24.00\00:23:27.64
and then we can
talk about the study.
00:23:27.67\00:23:29.10
In a journal from the
American Heart Association
00:23:29.14\00:23:32.07
by the name of
Atherosclerosis Thrombosis
00:23:32.11\00:23:34.68
and Vascular Biology.
00:23:34.71\00:23:36.08
Okay.
00:23:36.11\00:23:37.45
And so the
American Heart Association
00:23:37.48\00:23:39.61
is very interested in
what's happening at Weimar.
00:23:39.65\00:23:42.78
And they published this study.
00:23:42.82\00:23:44.75
And how many patients
had gone through the program
00:23:44.79\00:23:49.59
in those 11 years.
00:23:49.62\00:23:50.96
So we had about 2,030 patients
00:23:50.99\00:23:53.76
that had gone
through the program.
00:23:53.80\00:23:56.26
And 82 of them had the
data that we were interested in.
00:23:56.30\00:24:01.00
Okay.
00:24:01.04\00:24:02.37
So we were
looking at a select group
00:24:02.40\00:24:04.01
of those over 2,000 individuals
who went through the program.
00:24:04.04\00:24:07.78
By the way 2,000
is a nice study group.
00:24:07.81\00:24:11.48
You know, a lot
of pharmaceuticals
00:24:11.51\00:24:13.18
get released on less
than a 1,000 patients
00:24:13.21\00:24:15.82
that take them.
00:24:15.85\00:24:17.19
And so this is a
large study group.
00:24:17.22\00:24:20.56
And what niche where
you're looking at here?
00:24:20.59\00:24:22.82
So we were
focusing on those patients
00:24:22.86\00:24:25.09
that have what is called angina.
00:24:25.13\00:24:27.73
They have pain,
they have pressure
00:24:27.76\00:24:29.90
when they're doing
exercise or physical activity.
00:24:29.93\00:24:33.17
Okay.
00:24:33.20\00:24:34.54
And that means
00:24:34.57\00:24:35.90
they have significant
coronary artery disease
00:24:35.94\00:24:38.37
because they've got
these plugged arteries
00:24:38.41\00:24:41.81
that are not able
to supply the blood
00:24:41.84\00:24:44.91
when their heart needs to work.
00:24:44.95\00:24:46.72
And as a result they
get into chest pressure,
00:24:46.75\00:24:49.62
and it might radiate
into the neck or the left arm,
00:24:49.65\00:24:52.19
and you might
get short of breath,
00:24:52.22\00:24:53.76
or break out into a
sweat, or get nauseated over it.
00:24:53.79\00:24:57.29
And so they're advanced.
00:24:57.33\00:24:59.66
And often many of these patients
00:24:59.69\00:25:01.63
come to Weimar because
they're out of options.
00:25:01.66\00:25:04.30
They should have come
to us a long beforehand,
00:25:04.33\00:25:06.33
then they
wouldn't have needed to get
00:25:06.37\00:25:08.30
all of these other
surgical and other procedures
00:25:08.34\00:25:10.97
that they're no
longer able to get
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.44
'cause their veins
are gone or whatever.
00:25:12.47\00:25:15.54
But you also took a
look at something else,
00:25:15.58\00:25:18.31
not just angina patients,
but what was this group?
00:25:18.35\00:25:23.65
We were focusing on what happens
00:25:23.69\00:25:27.09
with their
utilization of oxygen.
00:25:27.12\00:25:30.59
So this group was a
very nice diverse group,
00:25:30.63\00:25:33.29
20% of them were
African-Americans
00:25:33.33\00:25:36.36
and 20% were actually Hispanic.
00:25:36.40\00:25:39.33
So nice, different
ethnic, racially diverse study.
00:25:39.37\00:25:44.67
Which makes the
study even more powerful.
00:25:44.71\00:25:47.34
And so, what did we find out?
00:25:47.38\00:25:49.11
What happened during the 18 days
00:25:49.14\00:25:50.88
to these patients
who were so challenged?
00:25:50.91\00:25:52.51
So what we do here
in the NEWSTART program,
00:25:52.55\00:25:55.12
we test the heart,
00:25:55.15\00:25:56.48
we put them in what
is called a stress test
00:25:56.52\00:25:59.35
in which they
need to do exercise,
00:25:59.39\00:26:01.26
while at the same time
we're monitoring their heart
00:26:01.29\00:26:03.46
and we can see exactly actually
00:26:03.49\00:26:05.09
which areas of their
heart are more troublesome.
00:26:05.13\00:26:08.56
And that test that they do
before and after the program
00:26:08.60\00:26:13.60
tells us an important
number by the name of METS.
00:26:13.64\00:26:18.87
It tells us how good the body
is at utilizing their oxygen.
00:26:18.91\00:26:23.81
And the higher the METS,
the better your prognosis.
00:26:23.85\00:26:27.38
The higher your years
that you're going to live
00:26:27.42\00:26:29.98
and so forth.
00:26:30.02\00:26:31.35
Okay, well, a lot of people
think your METS can't go up
00:26:31.39\00:26:33.86
if you have
coronary artery disease.
00:26:33.89\00:26:36.22
But you actually
show the opposite,
00:26:36.26\00:26:37.96
even though you have
coronary artery disease,
00:26:37.99\00:26:40.06
if you come to NEWSTART that is,
00:26:40.10\00:26:42.86
your exercise
capacity and fitness level
00:26:42.90\00:26:44.93
can even improve
with atherosclerosis.
00:26:44.97\00:26:48.17
Tell us how much it improved?
00:26:48.20\00:26:50.01
Among females at a baseline
that they started from 6.1,
00:26:50.04\00:26:53.68
by the end it went up
to 7.2 which is very good.
00:26:53.71\00:26:57.18
And among males the improvement
was even more dramatical.
00:26:57.21\00:27:00.15
In the beginning
then average of 7.5
00:27:00.18\00:27:03.69
and by the end that was an 8.9
00:27:03.72\00:27:07.99
by the end of those 18 days.
00:27:08.02\00:27:10.93
That's exciting.
00:27:10.96\00:27:12.29
Not only did their
arteries open up better
00:27:12.33\00:27:16.03
because of result of their
cholesterol getting better,
00:27:16.06\00:27:19.20
and LDL, and
those types of things.
00:27:19.23\00:27:22.10
But their
exercise capacity improved.
00:27:22.14\00:27:24.34
That means those blood vessels
00:27:24.37\00:27:25.84
were supplying more
circulation to the heart
00:27:25.87\00:27:30.25
and improving
their exercise capacity.
00:27:30.28\00:27:32.81
Decreasing the risk of that,
00:27:32.85\00:27:35.12
and decreasing the
risk of heart attack
00:27:35.15\00:27:37.82
in the near future.
00:27:37.85\00:27:39.52
Well, I would
encourage you, don't wait,
00:27:39.55\00:27:42.26

00:27:42.29\00:27:44.49
It will benefit you in more ways
00:27:44.53\00:27:46.80
than you can imagine.
00:27:46.83\00:27:48.36
And stay tuned for next week's
