01:11 Hi, friends,
01:13 and welcome to another edition of NEWSTART Now. 01:15 I'm your host, Ron Giannoni. 01:17 In our studio we have a lovely lady 01:20 that I want to introduce you to, 01:22 but before I do, 01:24 I want you to watch a clip when she first arrived. 01:29 I came here last year because I have bladder cancer. 01:35 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. 01:38 And I was told that a place like this 01:43 I could do natural treatments and get some relief. 01:47 And there were other things that I didn't know about 01:52 that I could get 01:53 that I found out afterward. 01:55 So anything else I got after that, 01:58 it was just a sugar on the top as you say. 02:02 I mean, this time I came back to do the fever treatments 02:07 again as opposed to doing the other treatments 02:12 for the cancer 02:13 because this type of cancer recurs very quickly. 02:17 And so is this kind of like 02:19 to add insurance and to also to take a breaking 02:24 and build on what I have learned the first time. 02:31 Every year in America, 02:33 there are over one million deaths 02:34 because of Type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. 02:37 This includes heart attacks and strokes. 02:39 That's six and a half 747s crashing every day. 02:43 What's even more surprising is that the fix is easy. 02:46 It's your lifestyle. 02:48 Wouldn't it be nice 02:49 if you could actually add quality years to your life 02:51 rather than dying one organ at a time? 02:54 Obesity and diabetes 02:55 are the cause of over million deaths per year. 02:58 Most diseases are reversible 03:00 because most diseases are lifestyle diseases, 03:03 especially Type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. 03:06 Seriously now, they can be reversed 03:09 and the quality of your life can be renewed. 03:12 Call NEWSTART today at 1-800-525-9192. 03:19 You will see dramatic changes 03:20 in the first few days of our program 03:22 and you'll be on the road 03:23 to a better more robust quality of life. 03:26 The NEWSTART programs are simple and effective. 03:33 Welcome back, friends, help me 03:35 welcome Ronda Badell all the way from... 03:39 Maryland. Maryland, that isn't far. 03:42 That's on the other side of the continent. 03:44 That's right. 03:45 I want to get right in and ask you this 03:48 because we talked about it before the program began. 03:51 You were here in September of 2017, right? 03:54 That's correct. Okay. 03:56 And in September, 2017, 03:59 what's happened since then, real quick? 04:02 Well, I started walking, and walking, 04:06 and using the program, 04:08 and I've lost 50 pounds. 04:09 Fifty pounds? Fifty pounds. 04:11 Praise God. 04:12 And now up to present day, 04:16 you came here about 17 days ago, 04:18 have you continually lose weight in the session? 04:21 Yes, I have lost a few pounds. 04:23 Okay, good. 04:24 I'm not trying to, but I've lost a few. 04:28 So you came here to assist your husband? 04:33 That's correct. That's correct, right? 04:34 That's correct. 04:36 And so, but then you found out 04:38 that you really needed some treatment? 04:40 That's right. Right. 04:41 Let's talk about that? 04:43 Okay. 04:45 A few days before we were going to come here, 04:49 I found out I had bladder cancer. 04:51 And so we had to postpone... 04:53 Now, a few days, you mean, like a week or...? 04:56 Yes, a week before we were supposed to come in August. 05:00 You wanted to come here 05:01 rather than go for the treatments they get in. 05:03 No, we... 05:04 A week before we were going to come 05:06 when I found out, 05:07 and so we had to postpone, I had surgery in Maryland. 05:12 And then we came 10 days after the surgery. 05:16 Oh, I see, so you postponed the first session. 05:20 And you decided not to come here right away, 05:22 you had to do the surgery, 05:24 then you came during this last session? 05:27 That's right. In September. 05:29 Okay, I'm with it. 05:30 All right, so what's happened now? 05:33 How do you feel? I feel really good now. 05:36 I feel great. 05:38 Ever since following the program 05:40 through the months 05:41 and coming here for follow up treatment. 05:47 I feel great. 05:48 Is anything different in the staff 05:52 or the program 05:55 between September of last year and today? 05:59 Yes, there are some changes. 06:01 But, you know, when you come to a program like this, 06:04 you can't learn everything. 06:06 No, you can't. 06:07 There's so much, and I guess 06:09 I was focused on helping my husband back in September. 06:12 I wasn't focused on me totally. 06:16 And so I'm learning a lot of stuff 06:20 that I hadn't really absorbed I guess before. 06:24 Now this time you received fever treatments? 06:28 That's correct. 06:30 Quickly tell us, what is a fever treatment? 06:32 Well, they put you in a tub of water. 06:35 Hot water, right? Hot water, 109, 110 degrees. 06:40 And you maintain a temperature of about 103 06:44 for at least 20 minutes. 06:46 Do you know why? 06:47 It's to build your immune system, 06:49 to boost immune system 06:50 because the treatments I receive for bladder cancer 06:55 are to boost your immune system. 06:57 And guess what else that does? 06:59 Cancers cannot live in heat. 07:03 So you're raising the body's core temperature 07:06 to 103 for 20-25 minutes. 07:09 And then it not only builds the immune system, it kills, 07:13 it gives the fighter cells a chance to get in there 07:16 and start shooting those cancers cells. 07:19 Yeah, that's awesome. 07:20 How many treatments did you get? 07:22 I've had four so far. 07:23 And I have two more to go. 07:25 Two more, so you had a total of six. 07:28 Two more before I leave. Yes. Great. 07:30 I was hoping that they will give you. 07:32 Yeah. At least that to a week. 07:35 So what was your favorite part of the program? 07:38 You know, my favorite part of the program is 07:43 learning about the different foods. 07:49 It's hard to say what's the most favorite, 07:51 but learning 07:52 the different foods and the walking. 07:55 How far you're walking? 07:56 I'm walking five miles plus a day. 07:59 Wow. 08:00 When you originally got here, you couldn't walk at all. 08:03 I couldn't walk more than a mile if that. 08:06 If that, right. 08:08 Yes, I could not. 08:10 Bad back, bad legs, other issues. 08:15 How's your back holding up? 08:17 You had some back issues? 08:19 Yeah, I still have back issues. 08:21 We did a series of treatments last week that really helped. 08:25 And so I feel a lot better today. 08:29 And they've also given me some tools 08:31 that hopefully I can use 08:33 when I get home to help my back. 08:36 And does the program met your expectations? 08:41 Oh, yes. 08:42 By far. 08:44 Good. Good. 08:45 By far. 08:46 And so you enjoyed the hydro. 08:48 What about, I want to ask you about Pastor Damon, 08:52 his morning worship? 08:54 What do you think of that? 08:56 He has some tremendous topics and sermons 09:01 bring you down to the basics of your Christian experience 09:05 and how it intertwines with your health. 09:10 It's impossible to break them apart. 09:14 Good health, the Lord wants us to have good health. 09:19 But we have to follow what He wants us to do. 09:23 Yeah. 09:24 You realize 09:26 you weren't one of the nine people baptized? 09:28 No. 09:30 Got nine people baptized on Sabbath. 09:32 Yes. That's right. That's got to be a record. 09:34 Yeah. That's awesome. 09:37 So what do you take it from here on? 09:39 Now, what you're going to do when you get home? 09:42 I have people 09:44 since I've been here the first time. 09:47 I have people who are waiting for me 09:50 to give them more information 09:52 and to help them with their diet, 09:55 and help them with 09:56 some of the things that they're doing. 09:58 So I kind of like to share what I've learned, 10:02 I can't keep it to myself. 10:03 Amen. 10:05 I was supposed to write that. No. No. 10:06 But I can't because... 10:08 Well, I'd like you to stay in touch with me 10:13 and hopefully encourage you. 10:16 Not that you need a whole lot of encouragement, 10:18 you sound just ready to go. Yes. 10:21 But I want to thank you 10:22 for taking your time for this interview, 10:25 and welcome you, 10:27 and say good bye at the same time. 10:29 So thanks again. Okay. Okay. 10:32 Friends, don't go away, Pastor Damon will be up next. 11:10 Welcome back, friends. 11:11 Today, we have in studio, Dr. Kuninobo. 11:16 Dr. Kay, welcome. 11:18 Thank you so much, Damon. It's good to be here. 11:19 And we're going to be talking about Ronda. 11:24 Now, she's a story of someone that, 11:26 that this happens often, 11:28 someone that's in great shape, 11:30 they're really doing well in life, 11:32 they've got everything, all their ducks in a row, 11:34 they're in health, they're running around in life, 11:36 and then everything goes haywire, 11:39 and then things begin to compound 11:42 and compound, 11:43 and before you know it, 11:45 you're in really a life threatening situation. 11:47 Can you tell us a little bit about her today? 11:49 Sure. 11:50 You know, Ronda was an athlete in high school. 11:53 She was either running cross-country or track, 11:55 I'm not sure if I can remember which one, 11:57 but she was in shape, athletic, you know, picture of health. 12:05 Got married, was raising a family. 12:07 I think she actually first went, 12:09 before raising a family went to Africa as a missionary 12:11 if I'm not mistaken along the way 12:13 where I think she may have even met her husband. 12:16 But, so giving person, 12:18 you know, to others working overseas. 12:24 But then comes back, family, things start happening, 12:29 starts to gain weight, starts to have back problems, 12:33 have some chronic pain 12:35 develop and really significant pain. 12:38 I mean difficulty moving etcetera. 12:42 And then all of a sudden, boom, the big C comes along, 12:46 you know, diagnosed with cancer. 12:51 And, you know, there's a lot of people 12:55 who would look at their life 12:57 and so it's, you know, not fair. 12:59 Just give up even at that time. 13:01 Yeah, it's not fair, you know. 13:02 I used to be this, now I'm this, this and this. 13:06 And now I have this. 13:09 And I'm sure our viewers 13:11 can fill in the blanks for themselves 13:13 on what those things are. 13:16 Yeah, she's at a time in life where you're not young, 13:19 but you're not terribly old. 13:21 And so this was a very pivotal point for her. 13:24 Yeah, she was at prime of life really. 13:26 Prime of life. 13:28 Those middle years 13:29 when you should be able to be enjoying, 13:31 seeing your kids, you know, getting into their, 13:34 finishing their school, 13:36 they're getting into their careers, 13:37 starting to enjoy, 13:39 you know, maybe looking for to being a grandparent, 13:41 all of those things. 13:42 Well, you know, she's been here twice, right? 13:45 Was it twice? Yes. 13:46 So when she came back, 13:48 it was noticeable by the end of the second session 13:51 what is it that she did that in your opinion 13:54 that was one of the great things 13:55 that she could do for her health? 13:57 She decided not to let the circumstances dictate 14:01 how she was going to react to it all. 14:03 And she has been proactive and say, 14:04 "Look, I know that I can do something 14:07 to help my situation." 14:08 And she did, she lost how much weight? 14:10 Well, since she first came last fall, 14:13 and at the time of 14:15 when she came back the second time 14:16 which was in the spring, late spring, 14:18 she had lost 50 pounds. Yeah. 14:20 And I didn't recognize her by the time it was over. 14:23 So she's a great example of someone 14:26 who's going to take control back. 14:29 She just followed the NEWSTART principles. 14:31 That's it. 14:32 She just took it to heart 14:33 when to make the dietary changes, 14:36 I'm going to start exercising again. 14:38 Even though I hurt, I'm going to work through that. 14:41 She drank water 14:43 and the pain started progressively getting better. 14:45 And she still has painful days, 14:47 I mean there are times that she does, 14:49 but she keeps working through it all. 14:51 And it's interesting that 14:55 as she continued to put herself forward, 14:58 God blessed her 15:00 with another blessing of healing. 15:03 First it was the weight loss and the improvement of pain, 15:06 so she could function better. 15:08 But He also blessed her with, in the area of cancer, 15:11 they have not been able to find traces of cancer. 15:15 And so we're still praying, of course, 15:17 but she's been through 15:18 two sessions with her oncologist, 15:21 haven't found cancer. 15:22 And even the other patients have said, 15:25 "Doctor so and so said, 15:26 you didn't need any more treatments." 15:28 She said, "Yeah, he can't find the cancer." 15:30 And I guess so he's a guy 15:32 that would normally be on the err 15:33 on the side of caution in treat, treat, treat, 15:35 but he said, 15:36 "I don't see a reason to continue doing this. 15:37 You're doing so well." 15:39 And then God has opened up other things for her 15:41 and she started learning to play the guitar 15:45 which I know is near and dear to both of our hearts, 15:47 we both love acoustic guitar. 15:50 And what happened with that was that she was invited 15:54 to start doing things for her church. 15:57 First it was, you know, play special music 15:58 and they found out about her story, 16:01 saw her improving, 16:03 and God opened up a way for her to share and help people. 16:07 And she said, people have come up to her 16:09 that she hardly even knows 16:11 and say, to tell her, 16:12 what inspiration she has been to them. 16:15 So that's important 16:17 because when God does something in our lives, 16:19 it's not just a blessing for us, 16:22 it can be a tremendous blessing for somebody else. 16:24 And she's living a life 16:26 that is giving honor and glory to her God. 16:29 Right. 16:30 And that's putting it back on her. 16:32 So she has put her body in the best possible situation. 16:36 That's what I think of her. 16:37 She's placed herself in the best situation 16:39 to fight anything that comes along, 16:41 any disease by going through the NEWSTART principles, 16:44 she's lost weight, she's lessen her pain, 16:48 and then that's allowed her to do more and more physically 16:51 and the numbers have dropped down. 16:53 She's a great testimony. 16:55 And by the grace of God... 16:56 Yes, that's right. 16:57 Quit cancer too. That's right. That's right. 16:59 And cancer is gone, so hallelujah. 17:02 Praise the Lord. 17:03 Dr. Kay, unfortunately, we're out of time. 17:05 But I appreciate you so much. 17:06 God bless your ministry. 17:08 Thank you so much, Damon. It's always a pleasure. 17:10 Don't go away, friends, we'll be right back. 17:15 Welcome back, friends, help me welcome, Pastor Snead. 17:18 Thank you. 17:20 Yeah, let me first just clear up 17:21 what's going on here. 17:23 You were sitting here interviewing the doctors. 17:27 Yeah, was a very strange feeling. 17:28 I would rather be here than over there. 17:32 Well, yeah, I'd rather be here than over there. 17:34 Because I don't know if I could answer these questions. 17:36 And I don't mean to put you on the spot. 17:39 However, with regards to Ronda, 17:43 and by the way thank you for filling in for me. 17:46 With regards to Ronda, she had been here before, 17:51 she's done a great job in losing weight, 17:55 her attitude seems really good, she's a cancer survivor. 18:02 Why did she come back? 18:03 Yeah, I was really surprised to see her. 18:07 Normally, when people come back, 18:09 you take one look at them, 18:10 you know, "Okay, I know why they're coming back." 18:13 You know, they've got off of the wagon in their life. 18:17 They'll tell you that. 18:18 But when I saw her, 18:19 not only was I surprised to see her 18:21 because she did so well when she left the first time 18:24 that I didn't recognize her. 18:26 The second time she came back I was... 18:30 She had done more than when she had left, 18:32 completely shrunk up, lost tons of weight, 18:34 I didn't even recognize her facial features, 18:36 she had lost so much weight. 18:37 And I'm thinking, why is she coming back? 18:41 What you're doing here? 18:43 You don't need me here. 18:44 No, but she tells us later 18:46 that she felt that she wanted to go deeper with it. 18:50 She wanted to really grasp those principles 18:53 and really dedicate her life 18:56 to the very minute details of it. 18:59 Yeah, she wanted to stay connected I think 19:01 because a lot of people get in their mind 19:04 that this is the source, the NEWSTART. 19:07 They don't really remember that God is the source. 19:10 But they feel that this is the source 19:12 they're going to go back, 19:14 plug in to the source, recharge their batteries. 19:17 Her batteries were full on. 19:19 She was doing great. 19:21 She had been in the past, she is currently. 19:24 But, you know, she has a testimony 19:27 that I just think it's wonderful, 19:29 especially now adding the spiritual component. 19:33 Sure, and I think that 19:35 what I learned from her and it was a great insight. 19:41 Is that just because you've learned something. 19:44 And this is a mistake a lot of people make at NEWSTART. 19:47 Just because you learn it and you get the ideas down, 19:52 and you go home. 19:54 It's got to become part of who you are. 19:56 Truly you've got to embrace it a lifestyle change 20:00 and with the spiritual, 20:02 that what I got from her is the same with the spiritual. 20:05 You can't just grasp the principles of the gospel, 20:08 say, okay I got, you know, step one, step two, step three, 20:11 step four, step five, step six. 20:13 I get that, I understand that. 20:15 It's really got to become part of who you are. 20:17 You really got to embrace the gospel message 20:20 of what Christ has done for us, what He wants to do in us, 20:24 what He wants to do out of us. 20:25 You know, all of those principles revealed 20:27 in that little book, Steps to Christ. 20:30 And she's a great example 20:32 of someone on the physical and spiritual side 20:35 that gets that concept. 20:36 You've really got to live this stuff. 20:38 And if I got to come back here to reboot 20:41 and get deeper down into it, 20:43 so that I can continue to live it out, 20:45 well, that's what everyone needs to do, 20:47 spiritually and physically. 20:49 Amen. 20:50 I'm telling you, 20:52 you know, having been on the program now myself, 20:56 13 years this month by the way 20:59 is when I came through as a guest. 21:02 And if you don't stick to it, you're going to lose it. 21:06 And, you know, there's a time where I backslid so to speak. 21:11 But it wasn't on the diet, 21:13 it wasn't on the food, 21:14 it wasn't on the spiritual, it's on the physical. 21:17 And if you forget that, 21:20 a lot of bad things can happen, you know. 21:24 Go ahead. No, I was done. 21:26 I'm just asking you now, 21:29 what is most critical for you as far as a pastor? 21:33 Well, for me as a pastor 21:34 that what you said is actually golden. 21:37 When you look at the eight principles of health, 21:40 and you look it and I do, 21:42 coincidently I do eight major concepts of the gospel. 21:46 You can't get lack some in one area 21:48 because they're all interconnected, 21:50 they all affect one another. 21:51 You can't say, "Well, I'm doing good in seven 21:52 and then the eighth one I'm going to let go 21:54 which in your case was the physical exercise." 21:57 And it got you. 21:58 And for me as a pastor, I'll tell to people, 22:00 look you can understand it all, but you can't let, 22:02 say repentance go, 22:04 you can't forget about conviction, 22:05 you can't forget about down to self. 22:07 It's always going to be all of it in our mind. 22:10 And NEWSTART guests learn 22:12 that the hard way about the health principles 22:15 and I'm here to help them say, 22:17 "It's the same thing spiritually, 22:18 you cannot let a piece of it go, 22:20 we got to do daily focus on these things." 22:24 Amen. 22:25 Our time is out, Brother. 22:26 Thank you, Damon, again. All right. 22:28 Don't go away. 22:29 We got something for you following this. 22:34 Welcome to Weimar Institute Research. 22:37 Glad you're with us today for another exciting analysis. 22:42 Studies that get published 22:44 in the Peer Review Scientific Literature, 22:46 they're that important. 22:48 And Weimar Institute 22:50 is cranking out a lot of research these days. 22:53 And one of the reasons is because of Dr. Eddy Ramirez 22:56 who is the head of Weimar Institute Research 22:59 and teaches research methods at the college. 23:02 And we're actually analyzing going back in our database 23:06 and analyzing those 23:08 who have gone through the NEWSTART program. 23:11 And you took some students and some others 23:13 and you systematically went through 11 years of patience. 23:19 And this particular study is quite interesting. 23:24 First of all, let's just talk about where it got published, 23:27 and then we can talk about the study. 23:29 In a journal from the American Heart Association 23:32 by the name of Atherosclerosis Thrombosis 23:34 and Vascular Biology. 23:36 Okay. 23:37 And so the American Heart Association 23:39 is very interested in what's happening at Weimar. 23:42 And they published this study. 23:44 And how many patients had gone through the program 23:49 in those 11 years. 23:50 So we had about 2,030 patients 23:53 that had gone through the program. 23:56 And 82 of them had the data that we were interested in. 24:01 Okay. 24:02 So we were looking at a select group 24:04 of those over 2,000 individuals who went through the program. 24:07 By the way 2,000 is a nice study group. 24:11 You know, a lot of pharmaceuticals 24:13 get released on less than a 1,000 patients 24:15 that take them. 24:17 And so this is a large study group. 24:20 And what niche where you're looking at here? 24:22 So we were focusing on those patients 24:25 that have what is called angina. 24:27 They have pain, they have pressure 24:29 when they're doing exercise or physical activity. 24:33 Okay. 24:34 And that means 24:35 they have significant coronary artery disease 24:38 because they've got these plugged arteries 24:41 that are not able to supply the blood 24:44 when their heart needs to work. 24:46 And as a result they get into chest pressure, 24:49 and it might radiate into the neck or the left arm, 24:52 and you might get short of breath, 24:53 or break out into a sweat, or get nauseated over it. 24:57 And so they're advanced. 24:59 And often many of these patients 25:01 come to Weimar because they're out of options. 25:04 They should have come to us a long beforehand, 25:06 then they wouldn't have needed to get 25:08 all of these other surgical and other procedures 25:11 that they're no longer able to get 25:12 'cause their veins are gone or whatever. 25:15 But you also took a look at something else, 25:18 not just angina patients, but what was this group? 25:23 We were focusing on what happens 25:27 with their utilization of oxygen. 25:30 So this group was a very nice diverse group, 25:33 20% of them were African-Americans 25:36 and 20% were actually Hispanic. 25:39 So nice, different ethnic, racially diverse study. 25:44 Which makes the study even more powerful. 25:47 And so, what did we find out? 25:49 What happened during the 18 days 25:50 to these patients who were so challenged? 25:52 So what we do here in the NEWSTART program, 25:55 we test the heart, 25:56 we put them in what is called a stress test 25:59 in which they need to do exercise, 26:01 while at the same time we're monitoring their heart 26:03 and we can see exactly actually 26:05 which areas of their heart are more troublesome. 26:08 And that test that they do before and after the program 26:13 tells us an important number by the name of METS. 26:18 It tells us how good the body is at utilizing their oxygen. 26:23 And the higher the METS, the better your prognosis. 26:27 The higher your years that you're going to live 26:30 and so forth. 26:31 Okay, well, a lot of people think your METS can't go up 26:33 if you have coronary artery disease. 26:36 But you actually show the opposite, 26:37 even though you have coronary artery disease, 26:40 if you come to NEWSTART that is, 26:42 your exercise capacity and fitness level 26:44 can even improve with atherosclerosis. 26:48 Tell us how much it improved? 26:50 Among females at a baseline that they started from 6.1, 26:53 by the end it went up to 7.2 which is very good. 26:57 And among males the improvement was even more dramatical. 27:00 In the beginning then average of 7.5 27:03 and by the end that was an 8.9 27:08 by the end of those 18 days. 27:10 That's exciting. 27:12 Not only did their arteries open up better 27:16 because of result of their cholesterol getting better, 27:19 and LDL, and those types of things. 27:22 But their exercise capacity improved. 27:24 That means those blood vessels 27:25 were supplying more circulation to the heart 27:30 and improving their exercise capacity. 27:32 Decreasing the risk of that, 27:35 and decreasing the risk of heart attack 27:37 in the near future. 27:39 Well, I would encourage you, don't wait, 27:42 come to NEWSTART Now. 27:44 It will benefit you in more ways 27:46 than you can imagine. 27:48 And stay tuned for next week's 27:51 Weimar Institute Research segment. 27:57 Well, friends, that's it for today. 27:59 But join us next week for another episode. 28:02 In the meantime, pick up the phone 28:04 and give us a call at 800-525-9192. 28:09 Mention the NEWSTART Now program 28:12 and receive the NEWSTART special. |
