Hi friends and welcome to
another edition of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:11.00\00:01:14.30
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
In our studio today I have a
00:01:14.34\00:01:18.77
young lady all the way from
Augusta, Georgia and I'd like
00:01:18.81\00:01:22.91
you to take a look before I give
you her name, take a look at
00:01:22.94\00:01:27.02
when she first arrived
at our NEWSTART program.
00:01:27.05\00:01:30.39
I am here because I have cancer,
I'm diabetic, hypertensive and
00:01:37.83\00:01:40.56
my bones and muscles hurt. Blood
pressure medicine, diabetic
00:01:40.60\00:01:43.26
medicine. I got off of the
cancer medicine that was making
00:01:43.30\00:01:47.77
me sicker and hopefully when I
leave here I won't have to have
00:01:47.80\00:01:52.24
any medicine and I can
just run on out of here.
00:01:52.27\00:01:54.54
Welcome back friends. Help me
welcome Janice into our studio.
00:01:54.58\00:02:02.15
Thank you.
00:02:02.18\00:02:03.52
Janice you have an amazing story
here and although we just broke
00:02:03.55\00:02:09.52
away and saw your first
interview, tell us in your own
00:02:09.56\00:02:13.09
words now why you came
here. Has anything changed?
00:02:13.13\00:02:16.60
Well I came here because of my
breast cancer, the diabetes and
00:02:16.63\00:02:21.84
having problems with my liver
and my doctors were about to put
00:02:21.87\00:02:26.14
me on insulin where I would
have to shoot myself and I just
00:02:26.17\00:02:31.01
didn't want to do that and I
knew that I needed help. And I
00:02:31.05\00:02:34.98
wanted something that would
benefit me but not cause me
00:02:35.02\00:02:38.89
other side effects.
00:02:38.95\00:02:40.29
You also had a high
blood pressure, right?
00:02:40.32\00:02:43.26
Yes, well the highest my blood
pressure's ever been was 236/110
00:02:43.29\00:02:48.86
Something like that.
00:02:48.90\00:02:50.23
Yeah, that's high.
And what is is now?
00:02:50.27\00:02:52.03
Well now they run
between 104/66 to about 117/68
00:02:52.10\00:03:00.08
something like that.
00:03:00.11\00:03:01.44
So you've got that under control
Now what about the diabetes?
00:03:01.48\00:03:05.98
Well my diabetes, when I came
here, I was running in the late
00:03:06.01\00:03:10.52
200s to 300s and now this
morning without medicine or
00:03:10.55\00:03:14.99
anything it's 122.
00:03:15.02\00:03:16.36
Praise God! So and
you've lost some weight.
00:03:16.39\00:03:22.06
I believe so.
00:03:22.10\00:03:24.93
You've lost inches I
know. You told me that earlier.
00:03:24.97\00:03:28.20
Definitely.
00:03:28.24\00:03:29.57
Great. Now you're staying for
a second session. Yes. That's
00:03:29.60\00:03:35.21
marvelous. And
you're staying because?
00:03:35.24\00:03:38.11
This has been the best decision
that I've made in my life
00:03:38.15\00:03:42.08
besides I've given my heart to
Jesus and I know that if I stay
00:03:42.12\00:03:47.02
longer that I can get
right at the levels I want being
00:03:47.06\00:03:51.29
confident that I can continue it
00:03:51.36\00:03:52.96
So did the program
meet your expectations?
00:03:52.99\00:03:56.56
Beyond.
00:03:56.60\00:03:57.93
It went beyond?
00:03:57.97\00:03:59.30
It went beyond, yes. I never
knew that you can use water
00:03:59.33\00:04:03.94
treatments to fight cancer and
I was able to participate in the
00:04:03.97\00:04:09.44
fever reduction and they would
just give me a fever and keep
00:04:09.48\00:04:13.21
it for 20 minutes and then cool
my body and let me rest and take
00:04:13.25\00:04:18.35
my blood pressure, no, they
took my pulse and my temperature
00:04:18.39\00:04:23.83
every five minutes. And I've
been going to that treatment
00:04:23.86\00:04:27.06
and I know that those
white blood cells are doing what
00:04:27.10\00:04:30.17
they're supposed to do because
I feel real strong. I have a lot
00:04:30.20\00:04:33.84
of energy now. When I came I
didn't have much energy at all.
00:04:33.87\00:04:36.91
Those fever treatments
can be intense. Yes. And what
00:04:36.94\00:04:40.31
you're talking about they
submerge you in hot water about
00:04:40.34\00:04:43.98
103, 104 degrees, yes, they
raise your body core temperature
00:04:44.01\00:04:48.52
because cancers cannot live
in heat and it builds the immune
00:04:48.55\00:04:55.52
system. So you're doing both.
Yes. Well I'd say that it's wise
00:04:55.56\00:05:01.53
of you to stay for a second
session just to put the icing
00:05:01.56\00:05:06.30
on the cake, so to speak,
or the carrot on the lettuce.
00:05:06.33\00:05:12.97
Yes, the beans on the plate.
00:05:13.01\00:05:15.24
Well you're doing great.
So when you get home is there
00:05:15.28\00:05:20.28
anything you have planned for
your family, your community or
00:05:20.32\00:05:24.55
your church?
00:05:24.59\00:05:25.92
Well first of all as far as
my home is concerned I live by
00:05:25.95\00:05:28.42
myself but my God Dad I
already asked him to go in
00:05:28.46\00:05:31.49
my cabinet and take out all the
chips and the cookies and the
00:05:31.53\00:05:35.53
other stuff that I do not need.
Just take it all out and he can
00:05:35.56\00:05:38.93
give it away or whatever so
that when I go back home I'll
00:05:38.97\00:05:42.84
be going grocery shopping for
the healthy foods and fill the
00:05:42.87\00:05:45.34
cabinet with the healthy foods.
Then as far as my church is
00:05:45.37\00:05:49.94
concerned I will become a part
of the health team there and
00:05:49.98\00:05:53.42
they're waiting for me to share
my experience here because I've
00:05:53.45\00:05:57.29
been talking to them and showing
them pictures and they can see
00:05:57.32\00:06:00.66
the difference.
00:06:00.69\00:06:02.49
All right. Now what was your
favorite part of this program?
00:06:02.52\00:06:05.33
Well all of it. The spiritual
component has been excellent
00:06:05.36\00:06:13.34
and I even got rebaptized and
it was because there was more I
00:06:13.37\00:06:19.24
needed to do for God and I
want to be stronger and more
00:06:19.27\00:06:22.41
dedicated to his
service. Then I've made so many
00:06:22.44\00:06:26.05
wonderful new friends here. And
my doctors, I never had a doctor
00:06:26.08\00:06:31.22
that hugged you, doctors that
are out there on the ball field
00:06:31.25\00:06:34.72
playing with you and laughing
with you and it's just been so
00:06:34.76\00:06:39.09
much love and so much of God
everywhere in the whole program.
00:06:39.13\00:06:42.33
It's been the best experience.
00:06:42.36\00:06:45.70
That's so good to hear. I kind
of knew that you would say that
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.70
although I never talked to you
about it, but a lot of people
00:06:48.74\00:06:53.17
who have come through
the program, they say during
00:06:53.21\00:06:57.75
graduation, you know I thought
I came here for diabetes but I
00:06:57.78\00:07:01.25
really came here to increase and
have a better walk with Jesus
00:07:01.28\00:07:05.55
and it's good to hear you say
that. Pastor Damon, we're going
00:07:05.59\00:07:10.53
to interview also. He's a
wonderful pastor. Yes. He's
00:07:10.56\00:07:16.43
baptized many people who
come through the program.
00:07:16.46\00:07:19.47
Can I just tell you this: This
morning I had a blessing because
00:07:19.50\00:07:23.94
I had made my decision to
stay but I forgot to notify the
00:07:23.97\00:07:29.18
airport. So today, just this
morning, I called. I explained
00:07:29.21\00:07:34.25
my situation and I have a non
changeable ticket but the lady
00:07:34.28\00:07:37.92
said, is this a hospital that
you're at. I said no it's not
00:07:37.95\00:07:41.09
a hospital. It's a health
institute that teaches you how
00:07:41.12\00:07:44.79
to cure cancer and diabetes and
other things the natural way.
00:07:44.83\00:07:49.73
She said, really. I said, yes
ma'am and I said I'm doing so
00:07:49.76\00:07:53.07
much better and I just want to
stay a little longer. I said I
00:07:53.10\00:07:56.24
think it would be better. She
said hold on. She put me on hold
00:07:56.27\00:07:59.84
Then she came back on the phone
and she said young lady we're
00:07:59.87\00:08:03.55
not going to charge you the $200
She said, so now I need to find
00:08:03.58\00:08:06.72
you need to find you another
flight. She said the flight cost
00:08:06.75\00:08:09.48
may be different and higher. But
then when she came back on the
00:08:09.52\00:08:13.39
phone she said you know God is
blessing you. I've found you a
00:08:13.42\00:08:17.63
flight on American Airlines
on September the 20th and you're
00:08:17.66\00:08:21.40
going to get a refund because
the flight's cheaper. Amen.
00:08:21.43\00:08:23.97
So I'm just letting you know
that I'm doing what God wants
00:08:24.00\00:08:27.10
me to do right now because
he's opening all the doors
00:08:27.14\00:08:28.94
for me.
00:08:28.97\00:08:30.31
Praise God. We've run out of
time. I want to thank you Janice
00:08:30.34\00:08:34.08
You're welcome.
00:08:34.11\00:08:35.44
But we'll see you in a couple
weeks in the next session.
00:08:35.48\00:08:37.58
Don't go away friends because
Dr. K will be right with us.
00:08:37.61\00:08:42.78
Help me welcome
Dr. Andrew Kuninobo.
00:08:45.99\00:08:48.49
Hi, how you doing?
00:08:48.52\00:08:49.86
I'm doing good.
00:08:49.89\00:08:51.23
Good. It's good to see you.
00:08:51.26\00:08:52.59
It's always good to see you but
I haven't seen you in quite a
00:08:52.63\00:08:53.96
while.
00:08:54.00\00:08:55.33
Does seem kind of like
it's been a while doesn't it?
00:08:55.36\00:08:56.80
Yeah, well I was away for
a few days and then, anyway,
00:08:56.83\00:09:02.00
our jobs take us in
different directions.
00:09:02.04\00:09:03.37
That's right, it does.
00:09:03.41\00:09:04.74
I'd like to talk about this
young lady. You know, as you've
00:09:04.77\00:09:09.34
just seen her interview she's
off her diabetes medications
00:09:09.38\00:09:13.85
is our understanding and
cut back on her blood pressure.
00:09:13.88\00:09:22.46
She's staying another session.
00:09:22.49\00:09:23.83
Yes she is.
00:09:23.86\00:09:25.19
Was that by your recommendation?
00:09:25.23\00:09:26.56
Well partly, yes. She had so
many different things going on
00:09:26.59\00:09:31.23
the diabetes, high blood
pressure, weight, arthritis,
00:09:31.27\00:09:34.67
and then recent diagnosis
of cancer on top of it all.
00:09:34.70\00:09:37.64
So that's a lot to be dealing
with and probably most important
00:09:37.67\00:09:44.01
development of all though is
that she has pretty significant
00:09:44.05\00:09:48.98
past in terms of emotional
trauma and that has affected her
00:09:49.02\00:09:54.82
for many, many, many years.
And you know she asked me if she
00:09:54.86\00:10:01.76
should stay and I said I thought
it would be a good idea, but she
00:10:01.80\00:10:04.07
was the one that was thinking
of it. She felt like it would
00:10:04.10\00:10:06.23
really help her.
00:10:06.27\00:10:07.60
Well don't we have someone
coming here next week that
00:10:07.64\00:10:10.54
she might hook up with?
00:10:10.57\00:10:13.48
Yeah, actually we do, the
academy has a speaker coming
00:10:13.51\00:10:16.54
and the speaker who's coming is
going to be talking about some
00:10:16.58\00:10:19.45
of the very things that she's
had challenges with in the past.
00:10:19.48\00:10:23.79
And God has brought her a long
way with the healing in that
00:10:23.82\00:10:27.29
area of her life. But there's
still room for some more healing
00:10:27.32\00:10:31.13
there and because that's
kind of this gentleman's area of
00:10:31.16\00:10:34.83
specialty, I just kind of
see God working things out.
00:10:34.86\00:10:37.40
You know, timing is everything.
And God has impeccable timing.
00:10:37.43\00:10:41.84
Ha, I wish I'd have said that.
We could name this show God Has
00:10:41.87\00:10:47.74
Impeccable Timing.
00:10:47.78\00:10:49.11
Well we actually could. Not
just for Janice, but for every
00:10:49.14\00:10:56.99
session we have we're just
impressed by the way God works
00:10:57.02\00:11:00.79
on people at the time that
they need it and brings them to
00:11:00.82\00:11:05.56
NEWSTART when it's needed the
most. We've had people that have
00:11:05.59\00:11:08.80
been delayed in coming and then
came right at the right time
00:11:08.83\00:11:11.70
because they met up with people
that were instrumental in what
00:11:11.73\00:11:16.10
they needed. For example, there
was one session that we had, of
00:11:16.14\00:11:19.71
all things, I think people
from, what country was it the
00:11:19.74\00:11:26.15
language they spoke, from the
middle east, I've forgotten. Now
00:11:26.18\00:11:28.22
was it Egyptian maybe or
something. I've forgotten.
00:11:28.25\00:11:32.62
Ethiopia maybe.
00:11:32.65\00:11:33.99
Maybe I don't know if was
Ethiopia, but anyway whoever it
00:11:34.02\00:11:35.69
was it was about a year ago.
It was amazing how God brought
00:11:35.72\00:11:39.23
a couple and another couple,
totally didn't know each other,
00:11:39.26\00:11:43.97
at the same time and they both
needed to be here at the same
00:11:44.00\00:11:47.27
because they
spoke the same language.
00:11:47.30\00:11:50.04
Yeah, I remember that.
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.41
They made a tie of friendship
and especially the one couple
00:11:51.44\00:11:54.88
really needed the ones that were
more bilingual to be here at
00:11:54.91\00:11:58.28
that time. You know, it wasn't
something that we have commonly
00:11:58.31\00:12:03.25
like Spanish or Portuguese
or something like that. It was
00:12:03.28\00:12:06.22
middle eastern. I don't know
if it was Farsi. It was quite
00:12:06.25\00:12:09.72
amazing that that happened that
was, but it happens at every
00:12:09.76\00:12:12.29
session that God puts these
groups together and so I know
00:12:12.33\00:12:18.53
there are probably some viewers
that have had road blocks
00:12:18.57\00:12:20.24
sometimes come up. Trust God
that there are reasons for why
00:12:20.27\00:12:23.71
things happen in the
timing that it does happen.
00:12:23.74\00:12:26.37
His timing seems to be a
little different than ours.
00:12:26.41\00:12:29.01
Oh yes it is.
00:12:29.04\00:12:30.38
And most better.
00:12:30.41\00:12:32.65
Yeah speaking of when it comes
to health and the other side of
00:12:32.68\00:12:36.65
that some people get blessings
so rapidly and immediately.
00:12:36.69\00:12:40.66
You know they come here 20 years
on a medication and in two weeks
00:12:40.69\00:12:43.73
they're off the medication
and their numbers are perfect.
00:12:43.76\00:12:46.53
Then we have other people who
come here and they do everything
00:12:46.56\00:12:54.77
and just tiny little changes
you know are taking place.
00:12:54.80\00:12:58.07
Isn't that something?
00:12:58.11\00:12:59.44
And God knows who needs a
miracle at the time it happens
00:12:59.47\00:13:05.31
but he also knows those that he
is working with something else
00:13:05.35\00:13:10.95
in their life. In fact that just
happened to one of our guests
00:13:10.99\00:13:13.79
this time. They said, this is my
second time here. The first time
00:13:13.82\00:13:18.36
God gave me a miracle.
Completely took away all
00:13:18.39\00:13:20.30
cravings for cigarettes the
first day I was here. I never
00:13:20.33\00:13:22.86
smoked since. I've never smoked
since. And she said but this
00:13:22.90\00:13:26.70
time I can see that he's
working on my character because
00:13:26.74\00:13:30.31
he's trying to teach me patience
and perseverance. Wow! And she
00:13:30.34\00:13:36.38
said you know it's a different
blessing but it's a blessing
00:13:36.41\00:13:38.58
nonetheless. And she recognized
that the second day she was
00:13:38.61\00:13:41.68
here. So God's timing is
different from ours. Yes.
00:13:41.72\00:13:46.45
There's an old book that was
written when I was growing up
00:13:46.49\00:13:50.66
that said Lord give me
patience but hurry up about it.
00:13:50.69\00:13:52.96
Do it now will you.
00:13:52.99\00:13:58.57
But when it comes to our health
the great physician knows what's
00:13:58.60\00:14:02.60
best for us and his
timing is impeccable.
00:14:02.64\00:14:04.77
I know that you doctors,
both yourself, Dr. Gallant and
00:14:04.81\00:14:10.95
Dr. Lukens pray with our guests.
Is this typical in the medical
00:14:10.98\00:14:18.25
profession?
00:14:18.29\00:14:19.62
Well it wasn't typical in most
of the medical world I "grew"
00:14:19.65\00:14:22.89
up in that I practiced in for
most of my life and yes in my
00:14:22.92\00:14:27.16
early days in school it wasn't
very typical, but the longer
00:14:27.20\00:14:34.30
I've been in practice the
more I realize that the great
00:14:34.34\00:14:37.94
physician is needed in the exam
room and at the decision making
00:14:37.97\00:14:43.35
process and most of all in
the patient's life more than
00:14:43.38\00:14:46.15
anything else.
00:14:46.18\00:14:48.95
That's what happened to me when
I came here. My doctor prayed
00:14:48.98\00:14:51.89
with me and prayed with me and
that's what drew me to Christ.
00:14:51.92\00:14:55.56
But I want to thank you. We've
run out of time, but thank you
00:14:55.59\00:14:59.86
so much.
00:14:59.89\00:15:01.23
My pleasure Ron.
00:15:01.26\00:15:02.60
God bless you.
00:15:02.63\00:15:03.97
Hope to see you soon.
00:15:04.00\00:15:05.33
But friends don't go away
because Pastor Damon's up next.
00:15:05.37\00:15:08.34
When you look at the health
status of American's today it's
00:15:10.44\00:15:13.07
alarming to see that 60 percent
are either overweight or obese.
00:15:13.11\00:15:18.15
In addition, diseases such
as type II diabetes, cancer and
00:15:22.12\00:15:26.42
heart disorders are the leading
cause of so many complications
00:15:26.45\00:15:30.03
and deaths every year.
00:15:30.06\00:15:31.69
Could it have something to
do with what we eat. After all
00:15:35.83\00:15:39.10
every one in four Americans
visits a fast food restaurant
00:15:39.13\00:15:42.24
daily and with such easy access
to quick fixes we tend to forget
00:15:42.27\00:15:47.24
the poor health values those
foods actually offer. Maybe it's
00:15:47.28\00:15:51.95
the sedentary lifestyle and lack
of exercise that we've become
00:15:51.98\00:15:55.65
so accustomed to as a media
dependent world. Whatever the
00:15:55.68\00:15:59.15
cause of these
diseases a solution has arrived.
00:15:59.19\00:16:04.16
The NEWSTART Lifestyle Center
offers an enriching program
00:16:04.19\00:16:08.03
where patients can get a
healing of mind, body and soul.
00:16:08.06\00:16:11.43
Located in the outskirts of
Sacramento, the NEWSTART Center
00:16:11.47\00:16:15.90
is situated on the beautiful
campus of Weimar Center of
00:16:15.94\00:16:18.87
Health and Education with scenic
walking and hiking trails all
00:16:18.91\00:16:23.58
around. With the whole plant
foods eaten whole motto the
00:16:23.61\00:16:27.95
NEWSTART Center promotes a
healthy plant-based diet with
00:16:27.98\00:16:31.55
an emphasis on natural foods.
The NEWSTART staff are made up
00:16:31.59\00:16:35.12
of California board certified
nurses, doctors, dietitians and
00:16:35.16\00:16:40.16
therapists who work
together to assist each patient
00:16:40.20\00:16:44.07
personally. The staff are
dedicated to each patient's
00:16:44.10\00:16:46.13
success in the program and are
always there to guide, advise
00:16:46.17\00:16:50.81
and encourage. In addition to a
healthy lifestyle NEWSTART also
00:16:50.84\00:16:54.71
promotes a healthy
exercise routine. You're both in
00:16:54.74\00:16:57.25
sequence. That's good. All
right. As part of a balanced
00:16:57.28\00:17:00.82
program there is much
opportunity to get in a fair
00:17:00.85\00:17:03.55
share of physical activities
from utilizing our fitness
00:17:03.59\00:17:07.19
center to taking a stroll
around the peaceful grounds of
00:17:07.22\00:17:11.06
Weimar. It's amazing what
a new start can do for you.
00:17:11.09\00:17:13.96
Welcome back friends.
Help me welcome Pastor Snead.
00:17:16.26\00:17:20.34
Good to see you brother.
00:17:20.37\00:17:21.70
Thank you friend.
00:17:21.74\00:17:23.37
You know I'm excited talking
about this young lady because
00:17:23.41\00:17:27.58
she's excited and that excites
me when I see someone come
00:17:27.61\00:17:31.28
through the program that's
pretty beaten up and it seemed
00:17:31.31\00:17:36.62
apparent to me that she was
flogged majorly throughout her
00:17:36.65\00:17:41.69
life. Now she's got a different
attitude to the degree that
00:17:41.72\00:17:51.33
she's staying for another
session. That's a smart decision
00:17:51.37\00:17:55.07
She's been healed I know in many
ways but what I'd like to talk
00:17:55.10\00:18:00.51
to you
00:18:00.54\00:18:01.88
about Damon is the spiritual
healing that she's experiencing.
00:18:01.91\00:18:07.15
Yeah, now she fooled me at
first because she's so bubbly
00:18:07.18\00:18:11.25
and joking and full of laughter.
She's just a wild card. And I
00:18:11.29\00:18:16.93
never would have guessed that
she was harboring a lot of pain
00:18:16.96\00:18:21.33
from childhood and if you've
listened to her story she wrote
00:18:21.36\00:18:25.97
that book The Sun Still
Shines Through Broken Panes or
00:18:26.00\00:18:29.97
broken glass or something like
that. And she's got a traumatic
00:18:30.01\00:18:35.61
life story, but she comes here
and she's all happy. You know,
00:18:35.64\00:18:41.45
going through the wheel of faith
going through each one of those
00:18:41.48\00:18:43.69
and when I get to the one on
forgiveness and confession, you
00:18:43.72\00:18:47.46
know, to be free, to be dead
to self, she lit up on that one,
00:18:47.49\00:18:54.40
you know, emotionally. And on
that sermon I will invite people
00:18:54.43\00:19:02.10
to be rededicated if that's what
they would like to do and be
00:19:02.14\00:19:05.17
rebaptized as part of, you know,
this is part of how we're healed
00:19:05.21\00:19:07.61
is to let go of the past.
And that was something that she
00:19:07.64\00:19:11.71
needed to go through. She needed
to let go of all of that baggage
00:19:11.75\00:19:16.99
those feelings of unworthiness,
abandonment. And as she did that
00:19:17.02\00:19:23.26
you could see her
life immediately begins to
00:19:23.29\00:19:27.30
change. You know, attitude, like
you said. She's got this whole
00:19:27.33\00:19:30.73
new attitude about life and,
of course, the health plays into
00:19:30.77\00:19:35.37
that. You know, the eating good,
the feeling better, the getting
00:19:35.40\00:19:38.27
the sleep and getting away
from all the stimulants. But the
00:19:38.31\00:19:41.18
spiritual is what took over with
her and you could really see a
00:19:41.21\00:19:46.28
different attitude.
00:19:46.31\00:19:47.95
Yeah, that really came out in
our interview. Not so much the
00:19:47.98\00:19:52.79
first one but the second one we
just did. She's one that I could
00:19:52.82\00:20:00.73
see taking this program and
taking it back home and being
00:20:00.76\00:20:06.10
an angel to many, many people
and a shepherd, if you will.
00:20:06.13\00:20:10.71
Yeah, and the fact that she
wants to come back is pretty
00:20:10.74\00:20:15.21
interesting and she said
something to me that stuck in
00:20:15.24\00:20:18.48
my head about this is that
it's all new and she's got this
00:20:18.51\00:20:22.98
newness of life now, this new
direction. She's letting go of
00:20:23.02\00:20:25.95
the past. She's got a
new spiritual outlook, a new
00:20:25.99\00:20:29.02
emotional outlook, a new health
outlook but it's all fragile.
00:20:29.06\00:20:32.36
It's like it's new and that's
why she's going to pay again and
00:20:32.39\00:20:36.16
come again because she now wants
to just ground herself in it.
00:20:36.20\00:20:41.10
She doesn't want to lose
it, it means that much to her.
00:20:41.14\00:20:43.41
That's a wise choice.
00:20:43.44\00:20:45.61
And she told me that. She said
you know it's another X amount
00:20:45.64\00:20:49.01
of dollars and another chunk of
time of my life but what is that
00:20:49.04\00:20:53.01
in comparison to your well being
your eternal life, your health.
00:20:53.05\00:20:57.72
What's three weeks and another
couple of grand. What does that
00:20:57.75\00:21:00.26
matter really when the results
and the payoff are so tremendous
00:21:00.29\00:21:05.49
for the rest of your life.
You know she still a relatively
00:21:05.53\00:21:09.06
young woman.
00:21:09.10\00:21:11.47
Yeah relatively she is young
especially to me. Well she's
00:21:11.50\00:21:18.27
doing great and I know she's
going to continue doing good and
00:21:18.31\00:21:23.51
I know that you and Dr. Andrew
are working with her. She's
00:21:23.55\00:21:29.62
going to come the rest of the
way that she needs, she needs.
00:21:29.65\00:21:34.59
I don't think, I don't know what
she needs but God does and he's
00:21:34.62\00:21:38.79
bringing her back and he's
planted that seed in her heart
00:21:38.83\00:21:42.23
and she does loves everybody
here, which I think is not
00:21:42.26\00:21:47.80
unusual but good to hear
especially from someone who
00:21:47.84\00:21:51.54
wants to return. Because she's
never experienced the kind of
00:21:51.57\00:21:55.04
love that is shared, not only
with staff here but with other
00:21:55.08\00:22:01.42
guests.
00:22:01.45\00:22:02.78
Sure and we talked about it in
our break for a second. That's
00:22:02.82\00:22:05.29
like par for the course at
Weimar. A lot of people have
00:22:05.32\00:22:08.36
told you that, that they feel
this love and that love is a
00:22:08.39\00:22:12.53
healing. It lets you open up. It
let's you share. That's an added
00:22:12.56\00:22:17.77
atmosphere out here that
people don't expect to have.
00:22:17.80\00:22:20.84
Amen. We've run out of
time brother. Good to see you.
00:22:20.87\00:22:24.91
Thanks for coming in. I know
you're busy. But friends don't
00:22:24.94\00:22:29.04
go away, we've got an important
message following this.
00:22:29.08\00:22:31.75
¤ ¤
00:22:36.05\00:23:07.78
Welcome to Weimar Institute
Research. We're very glad you've
00:23:07.82\00:23:11.92
joined us today and I am with
Dr. Eddie Ramirez, our director
00:23:11.95\00:23:17.73
of Weimar Institute Research
as well as the professor in our
00:23:17.76\00:23:21.70
college that teaches research
method. And this is a study
00:23:21.73\00:23:27.07
where again our students were
involved in analyzing the data
00:23:27.10\00:23:31.41
of thousands of individuals
and going through with a fine
00:23:31.44\00:23:37.08
tooth comb certain aspects that
we're looking for in certain
00:23:37.11\00:23:40.38
groups. And this is actually
a study that comes from those
00:23:40.42\00:23:45.35
who went through the NEWSTART
program. And so Dr. Ramirez
00:23:45.39\00:23:49.72
tell us about this group.
00:23:49.76\00:23:51.46
Yes, This particular sub group
of those patients the arteries
00:23:51.49\00:23:58.00
to the brain start to get
plugged in. There's less blood
00:23:58.03\00:24:02.27
flow and those people are at
really high risk for things like
00:24:02.30\00:24:05.61
stroke. That we call carotid
stenosis when that closure of
00:24:05.64\00:24:10.91
those arteries happens. Many
people who have this don't even
00:24:10.95\00:24:13.75
realize it; not until an ultra
sound or some other study goes
00:24:13.78\00:24:17.95
and texts that there is
closure of those arteries.
00:24:17.99\00:24:22.29
Yeah, often they don't find out
until the end result happens and
00:24:22.32\00:24:26.49
that's the stroke. And I
see that so often in my hospital
00:24:26.53\00:24:31.60
medicine days. I still do some
hospital medicine two or three
00:24:31.63\00:24:35.87
days a week and in ICU and just
about every time I'm there I'm
00:24:35.90\00:24:40.28
treating stoke victims
who thought they were healthy.
00:24:40.31\00:24:43.98
Maybe they thought they have
a little blood pressure problem
00:24:44.01\00:24:46.31
or cholesterol problem but they
had no idea stroke was in the
00:24:46.35\00:24:50.05
works and it was because of
this atherosclerosis that had
00:24:50.09\00:24:54.69
developed.
00:24:54.72\00:24:56.06
In fact, here in America, we
call it an area of America the
00:24:56.09\00:24:59.06
stroke belt because there is a
big incidence of stroke in that
00:24:59.09\00:25:04.03
particular area which happens
to be close to the south in
00:25:04.07\00:25:07.94
America. Due to their lifestyle
that they have there they have
00:25:07.97\00:25:11.54
very high risk of ending up with
stroke, which, as you know, is
00:25:11.57\00:25:15.14
something that really drops the
life of the person, not able to
00:25:15.18\00:25:19.35
speak, not able to walk
and these type of problems.
00:25:19.38\00:25:21.28
Yeah, many of them end up
in nursing homes. They go from
00:25:21.32\00:25:24.65
being a healthy individual who
was an active member of society
00:25:24.69\00:25:28.72
and family to now being a
cripple in a nursing home or
00:25:28.76\00:25:34.96
needing to be taken care of, if
they're not in a nursing home,
00:25:35.00\00:25:38.33
at home on an intense basis.
And so for anyone viewing this
00:25:38.37\00:25:45.57
whatever you can do to reduce
your risk of stroke is well
00:25:45.61\00:25:49.18
worth it. Today we're going to
find out something that we can
00:25:49.21\00:25:53.28
do, that we can all practically
do, to reduce our risk of this
00:25:53.31\00:25:57.12
devastating disease. So we
actually took a look at the
00:25:57.15\00:26:02.99
group that had carotid stenosis.
This is a significant blockage
00:26:03.02\00:26:09.26
in their carotids and I know for
years we have analyzed people's
00:26:09.30\00:26:15.00
carotid arteries when they come
into our program and we can see
00:26:15.04\00:26:18.84
the evidence of
this atherosclerosis.
00:26:18.87\00:26:21.18
First of all, why might that
atherosclerosis be there even
00:26:21.21\00:26:26.21
before they enter
the program Dr. Ramirez.
00:26:26.25\00:26:27.58
So due to their behavior, wrong
type of diet, wrong management
00:26:27.62\00:26:31.55
of stress, not enough
exercise, that stimulates the
00:26:31.59\00:26:35.49
atherosclerosis and the
artery starts to close and that
00:26:35.52\00:26:40.76
decreases dramatically the blood
flow especially to the brain in
00:26:40.80\00:26:45.53
this particular study we were
focusing on that. But the good
00:26:45.57\00:26:48.37
news that we have today is that
this is a reversible condition.
00:26:48.40\00:26:53.14
Nice. And what happened as
a result of the 18 days here?
00:26:53.17\00:26:57.85
So what were seeing were
some of the risk factors. So the
00:26:57.88\00:27:01.52
weight went down for five pounds
difference by the end of the 18
00:27:01.55\00:27:07.82
day program which is good. You
know they're starting to lose
00:27:07.86\00:27:09.86
weight. That decreases the
inflammation and other important
00:27:09.89\00:27:13.03
factors for atherosclerosis.
Their total cholesterol went
00:27:13.06\00:27:18.00
down more than 20 points on
average which is very good also
00:27:18.03\00:27:23.51
the fact that we didn't increase
the statins that's not the
00:27:23.54\00:27:26.24
reason why but because of
the change of the diet and the
00:27:26.27\00:27:29.24
exercise and so forth. And
especially the bad cholesterol
which is one of the
00:27:29.28\00:27:35.08
villains that caused the problem
in the first place, we can see
00:27:35.12\00:27:39.45
that there was a 20-point drop
in that bad cholesterol which is
00:27:39.49\00:27:44.13
really good news for
somebody with this condition.
