Hi Friends and
welcome to another edition of
00:01:13.17\00:01:15.64
NEWSTART Now. I'm your host
Ron Giannoni. In our studio with
00:01:15.67\00:01:19.74
me today is Herman Flores all
the way from Los Angeles area.
00:01:19.77\00:01:25.68
So let's take a look
at when he first arrived.
00:01:25.71\00:01:30.19
Well I researched about
this place. I wanted it to be
00:01:30.22\00:01:34.72
over 10 years ago. But time and
budget now thank God he permits
00:01:34.76\00:01:40.10
me to be
00:01:40.13\00:01:41.46
here. I have to drop 75 pounds.
My sugar level is really high
00:01:41.50\00:01:44.90
my blood pressure is high so
this place sounds like a place
00:01:44.93\00:01:51.31
of hope. So we'll see what
happens in the next 21 days.
00:01:51.34\00:01:55.01
Oh I'd like to see a
transformation, make what I
00:01:55.04\00:01:58.55
I think is possible, possible
by the grace of the Lord.
00:01:58.58\00:02:02.28
I want to change my lifestyle
make it into a proper, the right
00:02:02.32\00:02:06.15
lifestyle. Learning to
adopt the NEWSTART program
00:02:06.19\00:02:09.76
into my system and
share it with the world.
00:02:09.79\00:02:14.00
Welcome back friends.
How are you brother Herman?
00:02:16.97\00:02:19.43
Oh thank God, thank you
brother I'm fine. Thank you.
00:02:19.47\00:02:22.07
So good to see you.
00:02:22.10\00:02:23.44
Thank you.
00:02:23.47\00:02:24.81
And hear what you have to say
and I want to share these things
00:02:24.84\00:02:28.81
with our viewers. So we just
took a look at when you first
00:02:28.84\00:02:33.21
arrived. What's changed now?
You were taking eight different
00:02:33.25\00:02:37.45
medications. That's right. Right
Now you're still taking all
00:02:37.49\00:02:41.06
eight, right?
00:02:41.09\00:02:42.42
No more.
00:02:42.46\00:02:43.79
Wait a minute, you're
not taking any of the eight?
00:02:43.83\00:02:45.16
No a day after they told us
you can we can disregard the
00:02:45.19\00:02:49.36
medications first.
00:02:49.40\00:02:51.37
Friends, this wasn't rehearsed.
No, I already knew that but I
00:02:51.40\00:02:56.44
was just kind of joking with
you. So you're off all eight?
00:02:56.47\00:03:00.18
That's right.
00:03:00.21\00:03:02.31
And why, how is that possible?
I mean everybody knows you gotta
00:03:02.34\00:03:07.52
stay. Once you're diabetic,
always diabetic and you have to
00:03:07.55\00:03:11.05
have high blood pressure and
you have to have kidney problems
00:03:11.09\00:03:14.72
Why you, what's so different?
00:03:14.76\00:03:17.89
I don't know. I don't know.
00:03:17.93\00:03:21.66
That's a good answer.
00:03:21.70\00:03:23.03
Yeah I don't know. So we
just have to trust and I did and
00:03:23.06\00:03:28.40
they monitor your blood pressure
and your sugar every day several
00:03:28.44\00:03:35.48
times a day and without the
pills it's amazing, surprising
00:03:35.51\00:03:41.88
that my readings are
much lower as the day goes by.
00:03:41.92\00:03:47.12
And you don't know why?
00:03:47.16\00:03:50.73
Well there's quite a
few changes we did here.
00:03:50.76\00:03:53.96
Well you took eight pills and
replaced them with eight basic
00:03:54.00\00:03:57.20
laws.
00:03:57.23\00:03:58.60
That's what we learned here
at NEWSTART. That's the acronym.
00:03:58.63\00:04:03.81
And there's significant
transformation and changes,
00:04:03.84\00:04:08.38
gradually but in how you
feel and in the program we were
00:04:08.41\00:04:13.85
running. They just made you
aware of quite a lot of things,
00:04:13.88\00:04:19.72
truths, you know, and it
makes sense and wow! Yeah.
00:04:19.75\00:04:31.80
Wow!. We know that and I know
why and you know why because
00:04:31.83\00:04:37.94
God brought you here to come
to this place to get you off
00:04:37.97\00:04:42.64
eight medications and exchange
them for basic principles and
00:04:42.68\00:04:48.22
you're doing them, you're seeing
the results and I'm happy for
00:04:48.25\00:04:53.15
you Herman.
00:04:53.19\00:04:54.52
Well thank God and thank you.
00:04:54.56\00:04:55.89
Thank God, yes. Let me ask
you what would you say in your
00:04:55.92\00:05:02.70
native tongue, look into that
camera over here, and say some
00:05:02.73\00:05:08.50
words of encouragement. Take
a minute and do that to you're
00:05:08.54\00:05:12.77
fellow countrymen.
00:05:12.81\00:05:15.58
In my native tongue?
00:05:15.61\00:05:16.95
In your native tongue.
00:05:16.98\00:05:18.31
Well my native tongue is
a combination of English and
00:05:18.35\00:05:20.72
Tagalog.
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.08
Well do Tagalog. Yeah.
00:05:22.12\00:05:24.85
Well it goes like... and then
take it by heart, pray about it
00:05:24.89\00:05:41.14
and then verify... Check me out
and verify and know for yourself
00:05:41.17\00:05:49.34
now... and you'll see from your
experiences and for the results
00:05:49.38\00:05:55.55
that transpire. So, yeah trust
in him and ask him... and at
00:05:55.58\00:06:07.46
point, then we make a choice
decision... and then experience
00:06:07.50\00:06:14.67
I couldn't have
said it better myself.
00:06:19.37\00:06:22.94
Oh, thank you.
00:06:22.98\00:06:24.71
But of course in the process
it's a program, it's like a day
00:06:24.75\00:06:30.65
to day thing. So the awareness
that has been brought to us and
00:06:30.69\00:06:39.13
the light that was _.
We also have our job as we
00:06:39.16\00:06:42.73
understand it, so it's not the
quick fix. It's like you said
00:06:42.76\00:06:47.34
earlier, it's a lifetime process
so if we see the results then
00:06:47.37\00:06:51.34
again it is up to us. And what's
beautiful about the program is
00:06:51.37\00:06:56.91
they share that for us it's
quite difficult but we have help
00:06:56.95\00:07:05.89
from our Father above and
His Son who will give us the
00:07:05.92\00:07:09.12
strength and things that are
impossible to us, you know, is
00:07:09.16\00:07:16.33
not so hard because he's there
and he makes the impossible
00:07:16.36\00:07:19.70
possible because there's nothing
that he cannot do if it is in
00:07:19.73\00:07:24.34
accordance with his will and
it is his will to make us whole,
00:07:24.37\00:07:28.94
to make us commune with him
until he comes and picks us up.
00:07:28.98\00:07:33.08
You know, so that's our job, to
occupy till he comes and picks
00:07:33.11\00:07:37.02
us up. And we know, and I
believe that it's the best way
00:07:37.05\00:07:43.93
to be the best that we can be.
And he has prepared that path
00:07:43.96\00:07:47.43
for those who would see where
adjustments need to be made and
00:07:47.46\00:07:53.64
what has to be done. But again,
it's a day to day thing and I
00:07:53.67\00:07:57.14
think if we follow the light
that's given to us and we see
00:07:57.17\00:08:02.58
the results and continue to push
on to be able to occupy the time
00:08:02.61\00:08:10.39
he's blessed us with and
bring a lot of people back home
00:08:10.42\00:08:16.06
with us to enjoy his kingdom
forever. And to do it to the
00:08:16.09\00:08:21.76
best of our ability in good
physical health. Because I think
00:08:21.80\00:08:25.77
it's right when our body is
good, our mind can think better
00:08:25.80\00:08:31.24
and our spiritual link and
relationship with him would just
00:08:31.27\00:08:34.81
flourish. And what others might
see as a sacrifice we're doing
00:08:34.84\00:08:40.62
eventually I believe we'll
find pleasure in it. So we can
00:08:40.65\00:08:46.29
experience heaven here on earth
until we continue to experience
00:08:46.32\00:08:51.69
it for eternity and forever.
00:08:51.73\00:08:55.30
Amen, amen. You know what I like
about you Herman? I only need to
00:08:55.33\00:08:59.87
ask you one question and I hear
him give a nice answer and that
00:08:59.90\00:09:04.74
was so beautifully said.
00:09:04.77\00:09:06.11
Well thank you brother.
00:09:06.14\00:09:07.48
Thank you so much brother.
I want to think you for taking
00:09:07.51\00:09:09.91
your time. I know it's valuable,
you'll be going home tomorrow
00:09:09.94\00:09:12.98
and thank you for
coming on the program with us.
00:09:13.01\00:09:16.82
Well thank you for having me.
Thanks to be God and thank you
00:09:16.85\00:09:19.02
brother.
00:09:19.05\00:09:20.39
And thank you brother.
00:09:20.42\00:09:21.76
And thank you friends. Don't
go away. Dr. Gallant is up next.
00:09:21.79\00:09:25.09
Every year in America there are
over one million deaths because
00:09:29.80\00:09:33.13
type II diabetes and chronic
obesity. This includes heart
00:09:33.17\00:09:36.44
attacks and strokes. That's
six-and-a-half 747s crashing
00:09:36.47\00:09:40.48
every day. What's even more
surprising is that the fix is
00:09:40.51\00:09:44.35
easy. It's your lifestyle.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could
00:09:44.38\00:09:48.22
actually add quality years to
your life rather than dying one
00:09:48.25\00:09:50.95
organ at a time? Obesity and
diabetes are the causes of over
00:09:50.99\00:09:54.86
a million deaths per year. Most
diseases are reversible because
00:09:54.89\00:09:59.56
most diseases are lifestyle
diseases, especially type II
00:09:59.59\00:10:03.40
diabetes and chronic obesity.
Seriously now, they can be
00:10:03.43\00:10:07.24
reversed and the quality of
your life can be renewed. Call

You will see dramatic changes
in the first few days of our
00:10:17.25\00:10:20.15
program and you'll be on the
road to a better, more robust
00:10:20.18\00:10:23.62
quality of life. The
NEWSTART programs are simple
00:10:23.65\00:10:26.45
and effective.
00:10:26.49\00:10:28.82
Welcome back friends. Help
me welcome Dr. Roger Gallant.
00:10:31.89\00:10:34.56
Ron it's good to
be here with you.
00:10:34.60\00:10:36.06
It's good to be here with you
and I'm looking forward to this
00:10:36.10\00:10:39.50
interview because, you know,
to me it just seems... I think I
00:10:39.53\00:10:44.07
asked Herman one or two
questions. That was it. He just
00:10:44.11\00:10:47.98
that was great, I didn't
have to ask too much. Because
00:10:48.01\00:10:51.75
sometimes we get yes here.
How was your session. Fine.
00:10:51.78\00:10:56.35
Did you enjoy it.
Yes. And not Herman.
00:10:56.38\00:10:59.95
No. Herman talks for a living.
He does? He does. He does
00:10:59.99\00:11:07.06
trade shows so he can talk
and I like interacting with him.
00:11:07.10\00:11:14.90
I like talking with him. He's a
fascinating person and he's got
00:11:14.94\00:11:18.41
a lot of experiences that are
pretty neat and I like the way
00:11:18.44\00:11:22.38
he puts things together.
He's a good guy. So yeah.
00:11:22.41\00:11:28.32
Well he seems as though
he's going to be just fine.
00:11:28.35\00:11:30.65
I think he's going to do well
also. You know he came here and
00:11:30.69\00:11:35.96
he was sick, pretty sick
guy and he stopped some of his
00:11:35.99\00:11:41.53
medicines before he got here.
And by the way to our audience
00:11:41.56\00:11:44.97
and people out there, we don't
recommend doing that. We like to
00:11:45.00\00:11:49.04
adjust medicines under the
supervision of a physician.
00:11:49.07\00:11:52.24
But he'd stopped his medicines
and he was having some symptoms.
00:11:52.27\00:11:56.75
He would have some chest
pressure and things like that
00:11:56.78\00:11:59.25
and he has high blood sugars and
he was having a lot of things.
00:11:59.28\00:12:03.95
Let me interrupt please.
00:12:03.99\00:12:05.99
Go ahead.
00:12:06.02\00:12:07.36
Why would we be under the
supervision of a physician when
00:12:07.39\00:12:13.29
we thing we should stop
something?. Isn't it OK just to
00:12:13.33\00:12:16.53
stop medication?
00:12:16.56\00:12:17.90
Well, some medicines you need to
taper off of and some medicines
00:12:17.93\00:12:22.97
if you stop them abruptly or
inappropriately it can make you
00:12:23.00\00:12:27.04
actually have worse health. And
so that's why it's good to have
00:12:27.08\00:12:31.18
medical supervision to adjust
medications. And we appreciate
00:12:31.21\00:12:36.82
people wanting to be off of
medicine. Medicines have side
00:12:36.85\00:12:39.99
effects and they are not always
the best thing for your body,
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.16
but there is a place for
medicine and so we want to make
00:12:43.19\00:12:48.30
sure that people are healthy
whether they're on or off
00:12:48.33\00:12:50.53
their medicines and having
the oversight of a supervising
00:12:50.57\00:12:54.97
physician is a good way
to make sure of that. So.
00:12:55.00\00:12:57.84
Well put.
00:12:57.87\00:12:59.21
Praise the Lord, praise
the Lord. But Herman, you know,
00:12:59.24\00:13:04.71
came in sick and we started
treating him. We put him on a
00:13:04.75\00:13:08.72
treatment regimen and he started
to get better. He couldn't walk
00:13:08.75\00:13:12.95
very far initially and slowly he
had to build that up over time
00:13:12.99\00:13:17.33
and gradually get better. But
praise the Lord now he's doing
00:13:17.36\00:13:22.66
better, he has more strength,
more stamina. You know, Weimar
00:13:22.70\00:13:26.47
has hills and he can walk up
the hills without having to stop
00:13:26.50\00:13:29.94
as much. So we praise the Lord
that he's getting better. But he
00:13:29.97\00:13:34.54
also has homework to do. When
he goes home he still has work
00:13:34.58\00:13:39.65
to do. So.
00:13:39.68\00:13:42.05
Yeah, I know. Sounds familiar.
00:13:42.08\00:13:43.59
Yeah, that's
right, that's right.
00:13:43.62\00:13:45.69
We all have our homework.
00:13:45.72\00:13:47.06
We all have our
homework to do, that's right.
00:13:47.09\00:13:49.39
How do you find... You're trim
and you're healthy. How do you
00:13:49.42\00:13:53.53
find time. Because I know you're
busy. You've got two or three
00:13:53.56\00:13:57.97
jobs, working here and
there, when do you exercise?
00:13:58.00\00:14:01.14
So what I found was the exercise
was something that I didn't
00:14:01.17\00:14:05.57
always have time for and I would
say I would get to it later.
00:14:05.61\00:14:10.65
At the end of the day nobody
wants to exercise at the end
00:14:10.68\00:14:14.55
of the day. Not me. You're tired
and the day's gone. So I found
00:14:14.58\00:14:17.85
out that I had to wake up
earlier in order to be able to
00:14:17.89\00:14:21.42
exercise. So I would go to bed
earlier, because I'm going to
00:14:21.46\00:14:25.46
wake up earlier. You still
want to try to get your seven or
00:14:25.49\00:14:28.13
eight hours of sleep and I
would wake up early and when
00:14:28.16\00:14:31.30
I would wake up earlier then
I would have time to exercise.
00:14:31.33\00:14:36.20
So you've got to put it as
an item on your calender, as an
00:14:36.24\00:14:41.58
item on your
agenda and make it happen.
00:14:41.61\00:14:43.88
Well you know you just spoke my
words because if I'm not up at
00:14:43.91\00:14:50.12
5:00, 5:30 in the morning
and out walking by 6:15 I'm not
00:14:50.15\00:14:55.59
going to get me walk in because
at the end of the day, although
00:14:55.62\00:14:59.29
I can hear you whispering in
my ear get up and walk, you know
00:14:59.33\00:15:04.40
I do because I have a treadmill
especially hot days, but early
00:15:04.43\00:15:10.14
in the morning is
best, before I eat.
00:15:10.17\00:15:12.01
Yes, that's crucial.
00:15:12.04\00:15:13.68
If I eat, yeah I can stroll a
little bit but I'm not going to
00:15:13.71\00:15:18.28
do any power walking.
00:15:18.31\00:15:19.65
And you don't want to walk hard
after you eat. Yeah. We teach
00:15:19.68\00:15:23.45
our guests that there is an
exercise walk and there is a
00:15:23.49\00:15:26.89
digestive walk. Yes. After a
meal a digestive walk should be
00:15:26.92\00:15:31.56
short, maybe 10 or 15 minutes,
more like a stroll. An exercise
00:15:31.59\00:15:36.10
walk can be a little
more intense and when you are
00:15:36.13\00:15:40.04
exercising blood is shunted
to your large muscle groups like
00:15:40.07\00:15:43.97
your legs. So if you're trying
to digest food, that blood goes
00:15:44.01\00:15:48.61
away from the digestive organs
to your large muscle groups and
00:15:48.64\00:15:52.65
it impacts and impedes your
digestion. So the best time to
00:15:52.68\00:15:58.42
exercise is on an empty stomach
first thing in the morning. Plus
00:15:58.45\00:16:02.09
first thing in the morning
the air is cleaner. There's less
00:16:02.12\00:16:04.99
industry through the night and
less pollution. So it's a better
00:16:05.03\00:16:09.06
time to go out and get some
fresh air and if you get out
00:16:09.10\00:16:12.63
when the sun is up or just
come up a little while the light
00:16:12.67\00:16:16.34
actually helps to change
your body, change from melatonin
00:16:16.37\00:16:21.71
which is our sleep hormone
essentially, to serotonin which
00:16:21.74\00:16:26.51
is our daylight, activity, awake
hormone and it helps to make
00:16:26.55\00:16:30.25
our brains feel better and so we
want to get that serotonin and
00:16:30.29\00:16:34.19
one of the best ways to get
it is to get out in the early
00:16:34.22\00:16:36.26
morning light. You don't have to
look at the sun or anything like
00:16:36.29\00:16:38.63
that but just be out in the
light and it actually increases
00:16:38.66\00:16:41.46
your serotonin.
00:16:41.50\00:16:42.83
Boy that was great. I'd like
you to just keep going on that
00:16:42.86\00:16:46.77
subject, but we're running
out of time. Thank you Doctor.
00:16:46.80\00:16:50.21
Good to see you Ron, God bless.
00:16:50.24\00:16:51.57
Good to see you, God bless
you. Good to see you friends but
00:16:51.61\00:16:54.98
don't go away because
Pastor Snead is up next.
00:16:55.01\00:16:59.08
Help me welcome Pastor Snead.
You know who we're talking about
00:17:01.95\00:17:06.39
Herman. Herman, Herman.
You know he's an amazing guy
00:17:06.42\00:17:11.86
because I said this to
the doctor when he was here.
00:17:11.89\00:17:15.76
I only had to ask a couple of
questions but he went on and on.
00:17:15.80\00:17:21.77
This guy's a talker. And you
now that's good because men like
00:17:21.80\00:17:28.14
him, people like him, men
and women, who we need into the
00:17:28.18\00:17:32.75
field preaching the word,
talking about Christ and, but
00:17:32.78\00:17:38.75
what do you think?
00:17:39.35\00:17:40.69
Well with Herman, he's extremely
analytical and he's very, you
00:17:40.72\00:17:44.59
know, kind of slow thinking his
processes out. And you know the
00:17:44.63\00:17:48.63
very first day I'm here I tell
him the first lecture that it's
00:17:48.66\00:17:53.20
very important that we get
the spiritual principles down
00:17:53.23\00:17:55.40
because that's going to help you
overcome in the health or the
00:17:55.44\00:17:58.97
emotional side. You're going
to need these gospel principles.
00:17:59.01\00:18:03.01
And so he had this look on
his face, I don't know if he
00:18:03.04\00:18:06.72
remembers it or not, but he
seemed like he was thinking that
00:18:06.75\00:18:09.22
through, is that true or not?
Well 18 days passed and it was
00:18:09.25\00:18:14.66
my last counseling session with
him, and he gets that. He tells
00:18:14.69\00:18:18.43
be that for him the big thing
is follow-through. You've got to
00:18:18.46\00:18:24.53
follow through. You have a
responsibility before God to
00:18:24.57\00:18:29.87
learn and then to do. You
know, it's not just going to by
00:18:29.90\00:18:34.41
osmosis just creep into your
soul. You got to practice it.
00:18:34.44\00:18:37.25
And then he got the spiritual.
Then he understood the
00:18:37.28\00:18:39.91
spiritual tie, which was this
is what I've been trying to say.
00:18:39.95\00:18:42.25
The power of God to help us
through the gospel is how we're
00:18:42.28\00:18:47.12
going to do the follow-through.
00:18:47.16\00:18:49.22
Hmm. Interesting. Well I think
he's an amazing guy. He's got
00:18:49.26\00:18:54.16
a lot to say. He's pretty bright
but Doctor said he's also a
00:18:54.20\00:18:58.47
speaker. That's how he makes
his living through speaking.
00:18:58.50\00:19:01.80
Now I did not know that.
00:19:01.84\00:19:03.47
I didn't either
until Dr. Gallant said it.
00:19:03.51\00:19:07.31
That would make sense. Ha, ha.
00:19:07.34\00:19:09.04
Yeah, it would
wouldn't it. Yeah.
00:19:09.08\00:19:10.41
So I think he's going to be
fine. I think he's one of those
00:19:10.45\00:19:16.25
that could leave here and
really promote the NEWSTART
00:19:16.28\00:19:21.49
program as he should, as
most people should because there
00:19:21.52\00:19:25.63
are so many people, so many
families members, not just one
00:19:25.66\00:19:30.47
or two but most families,
especially from the south that
00:19:30.50\00:19:34.90
need to come here.
00:19:34.94\00:19:36.27
Oh yeah. And he's going to
be a good spokesman because he's
00:19:36.30\00:19:39.17
done enough research to know...
He's not Seventh-day Advenetist,
00:19:39.21\00:19:43.81
he's not affiliated with the
church but he knows our history
00:19:43.85\00:19:46.21
on the health message. I mean
he's got a 10-year history going
00:19:46.25\00:19:50.19
back. He got a hold of the book
Ministry of Healing and he read
00:19:50.22\00:19:54.46
his principles back then
and said I'm going to be a
00:19:54.49\00:19:56.56
vegetarian. Well he learned that
there's much more than health
00:19:56.59\00:20:01.83
than being a vegetarian. Today
he was telling me he sees the
00:20:01.86\00:20:05.20
beauty of what NEWSTART does
is bringing all these principles
00:20:05.23\00:20:10.71
together but not leaving off the
spiritual component like so many
00:20:10.74\00:20:14.18
other people do. You know.
00:20:14.21\00:20:16.08
It's crucial that we include God
00:20:16.11\00:20:18.58
Oh you have to.
00:20:18.61\00:20:19.98
How could you not?
00:20:20.02\00:20:22.12
Yeah, it's part of what makes us
whole and he grasped that idea,
00:20:22.15\00:20:25.79
he got that idea and he's very
impressed with the Adventist
00:20:25.82\00:20:30.19
view of spiritual and health and
how they work together and he's
00:20:30.23\00:20:33.80
going to take this and he is
going to, he already told me he
00:20:33.83\00:20:37.17
was going to talk to others and
share this with others because
00:20:37.20\00:20:39.73
if you love others and you care
about other people how in the
00:20:39.77\00:20:43.64
world can you not share with
them, not just the gospel for
00:20:43.67\00:20:47.34
eternal purposes, but the gospel
that will help you today and not
00:20:47.38\00:20:51.55
just to get along in life with
other people and yourself and
00:20:51.58\00:20:54.48
God but with your health. I mean
it's a precious thing when we
00:20:54.52\00:20:58.35
have such a great message.
And here's a guy that's going to
00:20:58.39\00:21:03.32
definitely tell
other people about it.
00:21:03.36\00:21:04.89
No doubt in my mind I think
he's going to do good with this.
00:21:04.93\00:21:09.13
I just hope he doesn't overkill.
00:21:09.16\00:21:10.73
No, I think you're right.
I think Herman is going to
00:21:10.77\00:21:14.60
do well and if he comes back
it'll be just to get more of it.
00:21:14.64\00:21:20.41
He told me that there's just so
much to go back and review and
00:21:20.44\00:21:24.38
to learn and he really
wants to follow through.
00:21:24.41\00:21:29.68
Well I've been here almost 13
years now and I'm still learning
00:21:29.72\00:21:33.92
and there is a lot to learn,
a lot to remember, a lot that we
00:21:33.96\00:21:39.73
can do for our Christian
brothers or not Christian
00:21:39.76\00:21:43.33
brothers and sisters, just
people who are sick in the world
00:21:43.37\00:21:47.00
that need the health message.
00:21:47.04\00:21:49.30
Yeah, it's the Adventist's gift
to the world. We love you, and
00:21:49.34\00:21:54.94
you're brothers and sisters. We
want to see you live longer and
00:21:54.98\00:21:57.75
have a good lives. We got some
simple remedies, some simple
00:21:57.78\00:22:02.25
things and men like
Herman appreciate that about the
00:22:02.28\00:22:04.99
Adventist church.
00:22:05.02\00:22:07.32
Amen. We're about out of time
brother. Thank you again for
00:22:07.36\00:22:10.73
taking your time and thank
you friends, but don't go away.
00:22:10.76\00:22:14.20
There's an important
message following this.
00:22:14.23\00:22:16.67
¤ ¤
00:22:16.70\00:22:50.60
Weimar Institute not
only treats patients with
00:22:52.50\00:22:57.07
significant chronic diseases
00:22:57.11\00:22:59.74
but also does
research on thousands of
00:22:59.77\00:23:05.45
individuals and this research is
getting published in peer review
00:23:05.48\00:23:09.05
scientific publications. And
many people don't realize the
00:23:09.08\00:23:13.02
NEWSTART program is also the
home of Weimar College. Weimar
00:23:13.05\00:23:19.93
College is a premedical
institution, nursing program,
00:23:19.96\00:23:23.87
business program,
theology, education, also music,
00:23:23.90\00:23:27.90
psychology is taught here
and this is a higher education
00:23:27.94\00:23:32.51
program that actually is above
many bachelors programs because
00:23:32.54\00:23:39.31
of the type of research that
is done and published by our
00:23:39.35\00:23:43.32
students and professors here.
One of our professors today who
00:23:43.35\00:23:47.36
actually heads our research
department at Weimar College
00:23:47.39\00:23:51.39
is Dr. Eddie Ramirez. Dr. Eddie
glad to have you here today.
00:23:51.43\00:23:55.33
Thank you for the invitation.
00:23:55.36\00:23:56.70
All right. Well this was a study
that was done by who? Now who
00:23:56.73\00:24:01.00
involved in research?
00:24:01.04\00:24:02.40
Students were involved in this
study. There were actually two
00:24:02.44\00:24:06.27
students in this study. This
was published in the Journal of
00:24:06.31\00:24:09.04
Biological Psychiatry. We're
studying a little bit about
00:24:09.08\00:24:13.15
emotional intelligence.
00:24:13.18\00:24:14.92
OK. Well emotional intelligence
is your ability to manage your
00:24:14.95\00:24:20.46
emotions, to understand your
emotions and the emotions of
00:24:20.49\00:24:24.06
others and respond to
those emotions in a healthy way.
00:24:24.09\00:24:27.60
And we have found out,
Dr. Ramirez, that emotional
00:24:27.63\00:24:31.50
intelligence has more to do
with your future success and
00:24:31.53\00:24:34.57
happiness than other
measurements. It's even
00:24:34.60\00:24:37.41
more important than your
I.Q. And, of course, these were
00:24:37.44\00:24:41.34
people coming because of
depression. They had significant
00:24:41.38\00:24:44.95
depression and anxiety and
how many people were involved
00:24:44.98\00:24:47.78
in this study?
00:24:47.82\00:24:49.15
This was a big sample,
5621 people in this sample.
00:24:49.18\00:24:53.62
Wow! Was this all from North
America or were there other
00:24:53.66\00:24:57.16
countries involved?
00:24:57.19\00:24:58.53
This was worldwide. There were
four continents represented in
00:24:58.56\00:25:02.90
this sample.
00:25:02.93\00:25:04.27
OK. So at the beginning of the
data analysis, they were coming
00:25:04.30\00:25:09.47
to a program. This was an eight-
week program so this wasn't
00:25:09.50\00:25:13.88
actually done at Weimar
Institute but it was done in
00:25:13.91\00:25:17.18
those countries, a lot of
different satellite sites. May
00:25:17.21\00:25:20.72
have been churches or health
centers or mental health clinics
00:25:20.75\00:25:25.12
where this program would have
been run. So they were coming
00:25:25.15\00:25:29.29
because of their need in
depression and anxiety. It was
00:25:29.32\00:25:32.99
an educational program and this
educational program included
00:25:33.03\00:25:36.80
what, what types of things might
they have been educated about.
00:25:36.83\00:25:39.27
So basically the NEWSTART
principles plus a mental
00:25:39.30\00:25:45.04
education focus on the
principles of cognitive
00:25:45.07\00:25:49.58
behavioral therapy.
00:25:49.61\00:25:50.95
OK. So you have NEWSTART plus
cognitive behavioral therapy
00:25:50.98\00:25:55.02
which gets into your thoughts
and emotional intelligence is
00:25:55.05\00:25:57.99
tied to our thoughts because
it's actually our thoughts that
00:25:58.02\00:26:00.86
cause our emotions and
behaviors. And that's actually
00:26:00.89\00:26:03.66
good news, because we can change
our thoughts into what's more
00:26:03.69\00:26:07.36
rational and true and then our
emotions and behavior can also
00:26:07.40\00:26:11.17
improve. So as a result of this,
I mean, was this an intense
00:26:11.20\00:26:15.60
program where they were there
all day for eight weeks? What...
00:26:15.64\00:26:17.94
Once a week for two
hours for eight weeks.
00:26:17.97\00:26:20.61
OK. So not a lot really,
just once a week, two hours of
00:26:20.64\00:26:24.85
education and they would watch
a little DVD and they would also
00:26:24.88\00:26:30.02
have a little group health
coaching type session, so about
00:26:30.05\00:26:34.32
a total of 16 hours invested
and what happened at the end of
00:26:34.36\00:26:38.69
the eight weeks?
00:26:38.73\00:26:40.06
As a result of that, by the end
of that program their emotional
00:26:40.10\00:26:42.66
intelligence was above the
average emotional intelligence
00:26:42.70\00:26:46.90
of the population.
00:26:46.94\00:26:48.30
They came in below average
and they ended up above average.
00:26:48.34\00:26:51.17
In fact, I'm looking at the
statistics here and 46 percent
00:26:51.21\00:26:56.54
were below average and at the
end only 23 percent were below
00:26:56.58\00:27:00.98
average, so over half of them
went to above average that were
00:27:01.02\00:27:05.22
below and then there were
56 percent that were somewhat
00:27:05.25\00:27:10.83
above average and a total of
20 percent were in the top tier
00:27:10.86\00:27:15.43
of the nation now as a result
of going through this program.
00:27:15.46\00:27:18.47
How much of a
shift was there total?
00:27:18.50\00:27:20.94
So the switch was about 30
percent, the ones that were able
00:27:20.97\00:27:27.88
to reach that
very high level of EQ.
00:27:27.91\00:27:31.25
