01:13 Hi Friends and welcome to another edition of 01:15 NEWSTART Now. I'm your host Ron Giannoni. In our studio with 01:19 me today is Herman Flores all the way from Los Angeles area. 01:25 So let's take a look at when he first arrived. 01:30 Well I researched about this place. I wanted it to be 01:34 over 10 years ago. But time and budget now thank God he permits 01:40 me to be 01:41 here. I have to drop 75 pounds. My sugar level is really high 01:44 my blood pressure is high so this place sounds like a place 01:51 of hope. So we'll see what happens in the next 21 days. 01:55 Oh I'd like to see a transformation, make what I 01:58 I think is possible, possible by the grace of the Lord. 02:02 I want to change my lifestyle make it into a proper, the right 02:06 lifestyle. Learning to adopt the NEWSTART program 02:09 into my system and share it with the world. 02:16 Welcome back friends. How are you brother Herman? 02:19 Oh thank God, thank you brother I'm fine. Thank you. 02:22 So good to see you. 02:23 Thank you. 02:24 And hear what you have to say and I want to share these things 02:28 with our viewers. So we just took a look at when you first 02:33 arrived. What's changed now? You were taking eight different 02:37 medications. That's right. Right Now you're still taking all 02:41 eight, right? 02:42 No more. 02:43 Wait a minute, you're not taking any of the eight? 02:45 No a day after they told us you can we can disregard the 02:49 medications first. 02:51 Friends, this wasn't rehearsed. No, I already knew that but I 02:56 was just kind of joking with you. So you're off all eight? 03:00 That's right. 03:02 And why, how is that possible? I mean everybody knows you gotta 03:07 stay. Once you're diabetic, always diabetic and you have to 03:11 have high blood pressure and you have to have kidney problems 03:14 Why you, what's so different? 03:17 I don't know. I don't know. 03:21 That's a good answer. 03:23 Yeah I don't know. So we just have to trust and I did and 03:28 they monitor your blood pressure and your sugar every day several 03:35 times a day and without the pills it's amazing, surprising 03:41 that my readings are much lower as the day goes by. 03:47 And you don't know why? 03:50 Well there's quite a few changes we did here. 03:54 Well you took eight pills and replaced them with eight basic 03:57 laws. 03:58 That's what we learned here at NEWSTART. That's the acronym. 04:03 And there's significant transformation and changes, 04:08 gradually but in how you feel and in the program we were running. 04:13 They just made you aware of quite a lot of things, truths, 04:19 you know, and it makes sense and wow! Yeah. 04:31 Wow!. We know that and I know why and you know why because 04:37 God brought you here to come to this place to get you off 04:42 eight medications and exchange them for basic principles and 04:48 you're doing them, you're seeing the results and I'm happy for 04:53 you Herman. 04:54 Well thank God and thank you. 04:55 Thank God, yes. Let me ask you what would you say in your 05:02 native tongue, look into that camera over here, and say some 05:08 words of encouragement. Take a minute and do that to you're 05:12 fellow countrymen. 05:15 In my native tongue? 05:16 In your native tongue. 05:18 Well my native tongue is a combination of English and 05:20 Tagalog. 05:22 Well do Tagalog. Yeah. 05:24 Well it goes like... and then take it by heart, pray about it 05:41 and then verify... Check me out and verify and know for yourself 05:49 now... and you'll see from your experiences and for the results 05:55 that transpire. So, yeah trust in him and ask him... and at 06:07 point, then we make a choice decision... and then experience 06:19 I couldn't have said it better myself. 06:22 Oh, thank you. 06:24 But of course in the process it's a program, it's like a day 06:30 to day thing. So the awareness that has been brought to us and 06:39 the light that was _. We also have our job as we 06:42 understand it, so it's not the quick fix. It's like you said 06:47 earlier, it's a lifetime process so if we see the results then 06:51 again it is up to us. And what's beautiful about the program is 06:56 they share that for us it's quite difficult but we have help 07:05 from our Father above and His Son who will give us the 07:09 strength and things that are impossible to us, you know, is 07:16 not so hard because he's there and he makes the impossible 07:19 possible because there's nothing that he cannot do if it is in 07:24 accordance with his will and it is his will to make us whole, 07:28 to make us commune with him until he comes and picks us up. 07:33 You know, so that's our job, to occupy till he comes and picks 07:37 us up. And we know, and I believe that it's the best way 07:43 to be the best that we can be. And he has prepared that path 07:47 for those who would see where adjustments need to be made and 07:53 what has to be done. But again, it's a day to day thing and I 07:57 think if we follow the light that's given to us and we see 08:02 the results and continue to push on to be able to occupy the time 08:10 he's blessed us with and bring a lot of people back home 08:16 with us to enjoy his kingdom forever. And to do it to the 08:21 best of our ability in good physical health. Because I think 08:25 it's right when our body is good, our mind can think better 08:31 and our spiritual link and relationship with him would just 08:34 flourish. And what others might see as a sacrifice we're doing 08:40 eventually I believe we'll find pleasure in it. So we can 08:46 experience heaven here on earth until we continue to experience 08:51 it for eternity and forever. 08:55 Amen, amen. You know what I like about you Herman? I only need to 08:59 ask you one question and I hear him give a nice answer and that 09:04 was so beautifully said. 09:06 Well thank you brother. 09:07 Thank you so much brother. I want to think you for taking 09:09 your time. I know it's valuable, you'll be going home tomorrow 09:13 and thank you for coming on the program with us. 09:16 Well thank you for having me. Thanks to be God and thank you 09:19 brother. 09:20 And thank you brother. 09:21 And thank you friends. Don't go away. Dr. Gallant is up next. 09:29 Every year in America there are over one million deaths because 09:33 type II diabetes and chronic obesity. This includes heart 09:36 attacks and strokes. That's six-and-a-half 747s crashing 09:40 every day. What's even more surprising is that the fix is 09:44 easy. It's your lifestyle. Wouldn't it be nice if you could 09:48 actually add quality years to your life rather than dying one 09:50 organ at a time? Obesity and diabetes are the causes of over 09:54 a million deaths per year. Most diseases are reversible because 09:59 most diseases are lifestyle diseases, especially type II 10:03 diabetes and chronic obesity. Seriously now, they can be 10:07 reversed and the quality of your life can be renewed. Call 10:11 NEWSTART today at 1-800-525-9192. 10:17 You will see dramatic changes in the first few days of our 10:20 program and you'll be on the road to a better, more robust 10:23 quality of life. The NEWSTART programs are simple 10:26 and effective. 10:31 Welcome back friends. Help me welcome Dr. Roger Gallant. 10:34 Ron it's good to be here with you. 10:36 It's good to be here with you and I'm looking forward to this 10:39 interview because, you know, to me it just seems... I think I 10:44 asked Herman one or two questions. That was it. He just 10:48 that was great, I didn't have to ask too much. Because 10:51 sometimes we get yes here. How was your session. Fine. 10:56 Did you enjoy it. Yes. And not Herman. 10:59 No. Herman talks for a living. He does? He does. He does 11:07 trade shows so he can talk and I like interacting with him. 11:14 I like talking with him. He's a fascinating person and he's got 11:18 a lot of experiences that are pretty neat and I like the way 11:22 he puts things together. He's a good guy. So yeah. 11:28 Well he seems as though he's going to be just fine. 11:30 I think he's going to do well also. You know he came here and 11:35 he was sick, pretty sick guy and he stopped some of his 11:41 medicines before he got here. And by the way to our audience 11:45 and people out there, we don't recommend doing that. We like to 11:49 adjust medicines under the supervision of a physician. 11:52 But he'd stopped his medicines and he was having some symptoms. 11:56 He would have some chest pressure and things like that 11:59 and he has high blood sugars and he was having a lot of things. 12:03 Let me interrupt please. 12:06 Go ahead. 12:07 Why would we be under the supervision of a physician when 12:13 we thing we should stop something?. Isn't it OK just to 12:16 stop medication? 12:17 Well, some medicines you need to taper off of and some medicines 12:23 if you stop them abruptly or inappropriately it can make you 12:27 actually have worse health. And so that's why it's good to have 12:31 medical supervision to adjust medications. And we appreciate 12:36 people wanting to be off of medicine. Medicines have side 12:40 effects and they are not always the best thing for your body, 12:43 but there is a place for medicine and so we want to make 12:48 sure that people are healthy whether they're on or off 12:50 their medicines and having the oversight of a supervising 12:55 physician is a good way to make sure of that. So. 12:57 Well put. 12:59 Praise the Lord, praise the Lord. But Herman, you know, 13:04 came in sick and we started treating him. We put him on a 13:08 treatment regimen and he started to get better. He couldn't walk 13:12 very far initially and slowly he had to build that up over time 13:17 and gradually get better. But praise the Lord now he's doing 13:22 better, he has more strength, more stamina. You know, Weimar 13:26 has hills and he can walk up the hills without having to stop 13:29 as much. So we praise the Lord that he's getting better. But he 13:34 also has homework to do. When he goes home he still has work 13:39 to do. So. 13:42 Yeah, I know. Sounds familiar. 13:43 Yeah, that's right, that's right. 13:45 We all have our homework. 13:47 We all have our homework to do, that's right. 13:49 How do you find... You're trim and you're healthy. How do you 13:53 find time. Because I know you're busy. You've got two or three 13:58 jobs, working here and there, when do you exercise? 14:01 So what I found was the exercise was something that I didn't 14:05 always have time for and I would say I would get to it later. 14:10 At the end of the day nobody wants to exercise at the end 14:14 of the day. Not me. You're tired and the day's gone. So I found 14:17 out that I had to wake up earlier in order to be able to 14:21 exercise. So I would go to bed earlier, because I'm going to 14:25 wake up earlier. You still want to try to get your seven or 14:28 eight hours of sleep and I would wake up early and when 14:31 I would wake up earlier then I would have time to exercise. 14:36 So you've got to put it as an item on your calender, as an 14:41 item on your agenda and make it happen. 14:43 Well you know you just spoke my words because if I'm not up at 14:50 5:00, 5:30 in the morning and out walking by 6:15 I'm not 14:55 going to get me walk in because at the end of the day, although 14:59 I can hear you whispering in my ear get up and walk, you know 15:04 I do because I have a treadmill especially hot days, but early 15:10 in the morning is best, before I eat. 15:12 Yes, that's crucial. 15:13 If I eat, yeah I can stroll a little bit but I'm not going to 15:18 do any power walking. 15:19 And you don't want to walk hard after you eat. Yeah. We teach 15:23 our guests that there is an exercise walk and there is a 15:26 digestive walk. Yes. After a meal a digestive walk should be 15:31 short, maybe 10 or 15 minutes, more like a stroll. An exercise 15:36 walk can be a little more intense and when you are 15:40 exercising blood is shunted to your large muscle groups like 15:44 your legs. So if you're trying to digest food, that blood goes 15:48 away from the digestive organs to your large muscle groups and 15:52 it impacts and impedes your digestion. So the best time to 15:58 exercise is on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Plus 16:02 first thing in the morning the air is cleaner. There's less 16:05 industry through the night and less pollution. So it's a better 16:09 time to go out and get some fresh air and if you get out 16:12 when the sun is up or just come up a little while the light 16:16 actually helps to change your body, change from melatonin 16:21 which is our sleep hormone essentially, to serotonin which 16:26 is our daylight, activity, awake hormone and it helps to make 16:30 our brains feel better and so we want to get that serotonin and 16:34 one of the best ways to get it is to get out in the early 16:36 morning light. You don't have to look at the sun or anything like 16:38 that but just be out in the light and it actually increases 16:41 your serotonin. 16:42 Boy that was great. I'd like you to just keep going on that 16:46 subject, but we're running out of time. Thank you Doctor. 16:50 Good to see you Ron, God bless. 16:51 Good to see you, God bless you. Good to see you friends but 16:55 don't go away because Pastor Snead is up next. 17:01 Help me welcome Pastor Snead. You know who we're talking about 17:06 Herman. Herman, Herman. You know he's an amazing guy 17:11 because I said this to the doctor when he was here. 17:15 I only had to ask a couple of questions but he went on and on. 17:21 This guy's a talker. And you now that's good because men like 17:28 him, people like him, men and women, who we need into the 17:32 field preaching the word, talking about Christ and, but 17:39 what do you think? 17:40 Well with Herman, he's extremely analytical and he's very, you 17:44 know, kind of slow thinking his processes out. And you know the 17:48 very first day I'm here I tell him the first lecture that it's 17:53 very important that we get the spiritual principles down 17:55 because that's going to help you overcome in the health or the 17:59 emotional side. You're going to need these gospel principles. 18:03 And so he had this look on his face, I don't know if he 18:06 remembers it or not, but he seemed like he was thinking that 18:09 through, is that true or not? Well 18 days passed and it was 18:14 my last counseling session with him, and he gets that. He tells 18:18 be that for him the big thing is follow-through. You've got to 18:24 follow through. You have a responsibility before God to 18:29 learn and then to do. You know, it's not just going to by 18:34 osmosis just creep into your soul. You got to practice it. 18:37 And then he got the spiritual. Then he understood the 18:39 spiritual tie, which was this is what I've been trying to say. 18:42 The power of God to help us through the gospel is how we're 18:47 going to do the follow-through. 18:49 Hmm. Interesting. Well I think he's an amazing guy. He's got 18:54 a lot to say. He's pretty bright but Doctor said he's also a 18:58 speaker. That's how he makes his living through speaking. 19:01 Now I did not know that. 19:03 I didn't either until Dr. Gallant said it. 19:07 That would make sense. Ha, ha. 19:09 Yeah, it would wouldn't it. Yeah. 19:10 So I think he's going to be fine. I think he's one of those 19:16 that could leave here and really promote the NEWSTART 19:21 program as he should, as most people should because there 19:25 are so many people, so many families members, not just one 19:30 or two but most families, especially from the south that 19:34 need to come here. 19:36 Oh yeah. And he's going to be a good spokesman because he's 19:39 done enough research to know... He's not Seventh-day Advenetist, 19:43 he's not affiliated with the church but he knows our history 19:46 on the health message. I mean he's got a 10-year history going 19:50 back. He got a hold of the book Ministry of Healing and he read 19:54 his principles back then and said I'm going to be a 19:56 vegetarian. Well he learned that there's much more than health 20:01 than being a vegetarian. Today he was telling me he sees the 20:05 beauty of what NEWSTART does is bringing all these principles 20:10 together but not leaving off the spiritual component like so many 20:14 other people do. You know. 20:16 It's crucial that we include God 20:18 Oh you have to. 20:20 How could you not? 20:22 Yeah, it's part of what makes us whole and he grasped that idea, 20:25 he got that idea and he's very impressed with the Adventist 20:30 view of spiritual and health and how they work together and he's 20:33 going to take this and he is going to, he already told me he 20:37 was going to talk to others and share this with others because 20:39 if you love others and you care about other people how in the 20:43 world can you not share with them, not just the gospel for 20:47 eternal purposes, but the gospel that will help you today and not 20:51 just to get along in life with other people and yourself and 20:54 God but with your health. I mean it's a precious thing when we 20:58 have such a great message. And here's a guy that's going to 21:03 definitely tell other people about it. 21:04 No doubt in my mind I think he's going to do good with this. 21:09 I just hope he doesn't overkill. 21:10 No, I think you're right. I think Herman is going to 21:14 do well and if he comes back it'll be just to get more of it. 21:20 He told me that there's just so much to go back and review and 21:24 to learn and he really wants to follow through. 21:29 Well I've been here almost 13 years now and I'm still learning 21:33 and there is a lot to learn, a lot to remember, a lot that we 21:39 can do for our Christian brothers or not Christian 21:43 brothers and sisters, just people who are sick in the world 21:47 that need the health message. 21:49 Yeah, it's the Adventist's gift to the world. We love you, and 21:54 you're brothers and sisters. We want to see you live longer and 21:57 have a good lives. We got some simple remedies, some simple 22:02 things and men like Herman appreciate that about the 22:05 Adventist church. 22:07 Amen. We're about out of time brother. Thank you again for 22:10 taking your time and thank you friends, but don't go away. 22:14 There's an important message following this. 22:16 ¤ ¤ 22:52 Weimar Institute not only treats patients with 22:57 significant chronic diseases 22:59 but also does research on thousands of 23:05 individuals and this research is getting published in peer review 23:09 scientific publications. And many people don't realize the 23:13 NEWSTART program is also the home of Weimar College. Weimar 23:19 College is a premedical institution, nursing program, 23:23 business program, theology, education, also music, 23:27 psychology is taught here and this is a higher education 23:32 program that actually is above many bachelors programs because 23:39 of the type of research that is done and published by our 23:43 students and professors here. One of our professors today who 23:47 actually heads our research department at Weimar College 23:51 is Dr. Eddie Ramirez. Dr. Eddie glad to have you here today. 23:55 Thank you for the invitation. 23:56 All right. Well this was a study that was done by who? Now who 24:01 involved in research? 24:02 Students were involved in this study. There were actually two 24:06 students in this study. This was published in the Journal of 24:09 Biological Psychiatry. We're studying a little bit about 24:13 emotional intelligence. 24:14 OK. Well emotional intelligence is your ability to manage your 24:20 emotions, to understand your emotions and the emotions of 24:24 others and respond to those emotions in a healthy way. 24:27 And we have found out, Dr. Ramirez, that emotional 24:31 intelligence has more to do with your future success and 24:34 happiness than other measurements. It's even 24:37 more important than your I.Q. And, of course, these were 24:41 people coming because of depression. They had significant 24:44 depression and anxiety and how many people were involved 24:47 in this study? 24:49 This was a big sample, 5621 people in this sample. 24:53 Wow! Was this all from North America or were there other 24:57 countries involved? 24:58 This was worldwide. There were four continents represented in 25:02 this sample. 25:04 OK. So at the beginning of the data analysis, they were coming 25:09 to a program. This was an eight- week program so this wasn't 25:13 actually done at Weimar Institute but it was done in 25:17 those countries, a lot of different satellite sites. May 25:20 have been churches or health centers or mental health clinics 25:25 where this program would have been run. So they were coming 25:29 because of their need in depression and anxiety. It was 25:33 an educational program and this educational program included 25:36 what, what types of things might they have been educated about. 25:39 So basically the NEWSTART principles plus a mental 25:45 education focus on the principles of cognitive 25:49 behavioral therapy. 25:50 OK. So you have NEWSTART plus cognitive behavioral therapy 25:55 which gets into your thoughts and emotional intelligence is 25:58 tied to our thoughts because it's actually our thoughts that 26:00 cause our emotions and behaviors. And that's actually 26:03 good news, because we can change our thoughts into what's more 26:07 rational and true and then our emotions and behavior can also 26:11 improve. So as a result of this, I mean, was this an intense 26:15 program where they were there all day for eight weeks? What... 26:17 Once a week for two hours for eight weeks. 26:20 OK. So not a lot really, just once a week, two hours of 26:24 education and they would watch a little DVD and they would also 26:30 have a little group health coaching type session, so about 26:34 a total of 16 hours invested and what happened at the end of 26:38 the eight weeks? 26:40 As a result of that, by the end of that program their emotional 26:42 intelligence was above the average emotional intelligence 26:46 of the population. 26:48 They came in below average and they ended up above average. 26:51 In fact, I'm looking at the statistics here and 46 percent 26:56 were below average and at the end only 23 percent were below 27:01 average, so over half of them went to above average that were 27:05 below and then there were 56 percent that were somewhat 27:10 above average and a total of 20 percent were in the top tier 27:15 of the nation now as a result of going through this program. 27:18 How much of a shift was there total? 27:20 So the switch was about 30 percent, the ones that were able 27:27 to reach that very high level of EQ. 27:31 OK. About 30 percent and the total emotional intelligence 27:34 scale went up by I think eight points, is that right? 27:37 That's right, eight points on average. 27:39 Actually almost nine points and that's a whole standard 27:42 deviation. Significant improvement in their 27:45 future success and happiness just by going to this eight-week 27:49 program, depression and anxiety recovery. Thanks for joining us. 27:55 on NEWSTART Now and I hope you also can improve your 27:58 emotional intelligence. 28:01 ¤ ¤ |
