Hi friends and
welcome to another edition of
00:01:12.90\00:01:15.47
Newstart Now. I'm
your host Ron Giannoni.
00:01:15.50\00:01:18.67
We have a gentleman here...
I'm going to let him tell you
00:01:18.71\00:01:21.54
where he's from,
but his name is Jaques.
00:01:21.58\00:01:24.18
Let's take a look
when Jacques first arrived.
00:01:24.21\00:01:26.95
I'm on five medications,
one for my blood vessels,
00:01:30.39\00:01:38.03
the big blood vessels, one for
my heart, and I have also one
00:01:38.06\00:01:45.57
my blood and that is for to
make it thinner, blood thinner.
00:01:45.60\00:01:50.17
Another one for my kidney,
and one to keep all of these
00:01:50.21\00:02:00.85
medications in
control and I want to get off
00:02:00.88\00:02:05.65
all these medications.
00:02:05.69\00:02:07.46
Welcome back friend,
help me welcome Jacques.
00:02:10.63\00:02:12.83
How are you brother?
Thank you. I am good.
00:02:12.86\00:02:15.13
Now you're going to
tell us where you are from.
00:02:15.16\00:02:17.57
I am at the moment from
the island St. Eustatius,
00:02:17.60\00:02:21.04
that's where I live.
Originally I am from Sudan,
00:02:21.07\00:02:25.77
I lived a few years,
well a lot of years in Holland
00:02:25.81\00:02:30.81
and now I moved to the
island of St. Eustatius.
00:02:30.85\00:02:34.68
Okay now we just, we know what
conditions you are dealing with
00:02:34.72\00:02:40.22
when you got here, congestive
heart failure, perhaps a little
00:02:40.26\00:02:46.33
of kidney situation. You
are on several medications,
00:02:46.36\00:02:50.67
we know that. Are you
off all your medications now?
00:02:50.70\00:02:55.80
No, not yet. And so how are
you doing so far in the program?
00:02:55.84\00:03:04.15
Well, I'm doing very very
well for what I think about my
00:03:04.18\00:03:10.89
expectations. I'm off my
kidney medication and with my
00:03:10.92\00:03:21.00
heart medication and my
blood vessels it's...I'm like
00:03:21.03\00:03:25.07
let's say 30%,
so 60%, 70% is off.
00:03:25.10\00:03:30.64
Good, that's good. Now
you understand you got to
00:03:30.67\00:03:34.48
walk, right? Yep! There's
a lot of walking involved.
00:03:34.51\00:03:37.21
A lot of walking involved.
Have you lost any weight
00:03:37.25\00:03:39.95
while you were here?
00:03:39.98\00:03:41.32
I lost some weight in
the beginning, I gained some
00:03:41.35\00:03:44.39
weight afterwards, but
I'm under the weight that I
00:03:44.42\00:03:48.86
came in with.
00:03:48.89\00:03:50.43
Now Jacques, were you one
of the ones, one of the guests
00:03:50.46\00:03:54.03
that was out
eating the persimmons?
00:03:54.06\00:03:55.63
Um! You don't
have to answer that.
00:03:55.66\00:04:00.57
Okay. You just did.
00:04:00.60\00:04:05.07
Yes. You know we had some
guests here, they're on a fast
00:04:05.11\00:04:09.88
and they're eating
eight or ten persimmons a day.
00:04:09.91\00:04:12.68
Well that's a lot.
No, you can't do that.
00:04:12.71\00:04:14.22
No, no, not while you
are fasting. No, no, no.
00:04:14.25\00:04:17.25
So, how did you adjust to
the food here? Did you find that
00:04:17.29\00:04:23.59
difficult to adjust to?
00:04:23.63\00:04:25.53
No, not really. Well, I'm
accustomed, kind of when I was
00:04:25.56\00:04:32.13
younger, I used to kind
of experiment with vegetarian
00:04:32.17\00:04:36.74
food so I didn't have such
a hard time of adjusting...
00:04:36.77\00:04:41.94
As a matter of fact, I
was surprised in the different
00:04:41.98\00:04:47.15
variations of the
dishes that they have here.
00:04:47.18\00:04:54.22
Um hum, now your doctor
is Dr. Lukens or Gallant?
00:04:54.26\00:04:59.19
Dr. Lukens. Dr. Lukens.
And was he different than your
00:04:59.23\00:05:04.77
doctors back in the islands?
00:05:04.80\00:05:06.47
Yes, of course. Doctors
back at the islands, they...
00:05:06.50\00:05:10.31
You are diagnosed of sickness
and they make sure you get
00:05:10.34\00:05:17.85
the right medicine and that's
it. For the rest, there's no
00:05:17.88\00:05:22.15
coming off, you can't
start talking about coming off a
00:05:22.18\00:05:25.45
medication. If you talk
about coming off one medication,
00:05:25.49\00:05:29.92
they will ask you ok, well then,
what shall we do in the place of
00:05:29.96\00:05:34.53
the one you are coming off?
00:05:34.56\00:05:36.63
So, they're not lifestyle
doctors? No, they are not
00:05:36.67\00:05:40.90
lifestyle doctors. Do you
find the doctors here are just
00:05:40.94\00:05:44.44
different, period?
00:05:44.47\00:05:45.97
Yeah, the different period.
They're different because...
00:05:46.01\00:05:48.74
what they do, they don't
only talk about your condition,
00:05:48.78\00:05:56.28
they also explain how
you come off the condition.
00:05:56.32\00:06:02.16
They explain the different
nutrition and the values of
00:06:02.19\00:06:07.56
nutrition. The different...
the different things to eat
00:06:07.60\00:06:13.54
that would get you
where you want to be.
00:06:13.57\00:06:16.14
So, did the program
meet your expectations?
00:06:16.17\00:06:21.28
Yes, it met my expectations.
I know I am not there yet
00:06:21.31\00:06:26.25
but I feel that I am on the
right track, I have a lot of
00:06:26.28\00:06:30.85
doctors there that I know
this is good, this is good,
00:06:30.89\00:06:32.99
but now I have a line to walk
to know that if I walk this line
00:06:33.02\00:06:37.23
I'm really going to
get off my medications.
00:06:37.26\00:06:40.33
That's right, that's right.
00:06:40.36\00:06:42.43
And better yet, you're going
to get healthier and healthier
00:06:42.46\00:06:45.90
and healthier. Yeah. It
happened to me as well Jacques,
00:06:45.93\00:06:49.00
as I told you
before the interview.
00:06:49.04\00:06:51.57
So you're on the right track,
your wife is with you, right?
00:06:51.61\00:06:56.51
Yes. Which is the good thing
because how are you going to
00:06:56.54\00:06:59.11
go back home and
explain what you learned?
00:06:59.15\00:07:02.35
Yeah, that would be very
difficult. Very very difficult.
00:07:02.38\00:07:04.89
I mean after all these years,
it's hard for me to explain,
00:07:04.92\00:07:08.62
but my wife came
with me as well. Okay.
00:07:08.66\00:07:10.96
So you are a lucky
man. Yes, definitely.
00:07:10.99\00:07:14.76
The cooking classes,
were they of a benefit to you?
00:07:14.80\00:07:19.97
Yes, definitely. You
know there's something about
00:07:20.00\00:07:24.27
reading it from the paper
or seeing somebody doing it,
00:07:24.31\00:07:29.81
somebody explaining it.
They always tell you their own
00:07:29.84\00:07:33.88
secrets that normally is
not in the book or on paper,
00:07:33.92\00:07:38.72
so that was very beneficial.
I can see myself going through
00:07:38.75\00:07:44.36
the process of
doing certain things
00:07:44.39\00:07:45.83
and Knowing how to do it.
00:07:45.86\00:07:47.93
Yes. Especially with things
like and a...like help tools
00:07:47.96\00:07:53.67
like a food
processor and which one...
00:07:53.70\00:07:56.64
Yeah, they are
very important to know.
00:07:56.67\00:07:59.31
Right! Um, before I ask
you your favorite part of the
00:07:59.34\00:08:04.68
program, how did
you enjoy your massages?
00:08:04.71\00:08:07.68
Oh, massages were great.
00:08:07.72\00:08:11.02
How many did you
receive while you were here?
00:08:11.05\00:08:13.86
Ah, eight. Eight? Yeah,
three every week and two
00:08:13.89\00:08:18.46
the last week. That's wonderful.
00:08:18.49\00:08:21.06
Yeah. Did that help
you? Were you struggling with
00:08:21.10\00:08:24.80
your legs and your hips
when you started walking?
00:08:24.83\00:08:27.97
Yeah, well not really...well
after a while you get something
00:08:28.00\00:08:36.11
like...you feel some volunteer
coming up, you feel some
00:08:36.14\00:08:40.35
kind of...you feel
something in your hip.
00:08:40.85\00:08:42.65
But, like I said, I
used to walk in the mountains
00:08:42.68\00:08:47.06
and so I can
adjust very very quick.
00:08:47.09\00:08:52.06
You're used to it.
Yeah. One last question,
00:08:52.09\00:08:54.86
we're running out of time.
00:08:54.90\00:08:56.23
Ok. What was your
favorite part of the program?
00:08:56.26\00:08:58.07
My favorite part...I think
the lectures that kind of...
00:08:58.10\00:09:08.68
how you say it? Something
that you know already, but they
00:09:08.71\00:09:15.95
promote what you
know. Amen! Amen!
00:09:15.98\00:09:21.26
Jacques, I want to thank
you brother. God be with you.
00:09:21.29\00:09:24.13
Thank you. We will
doing some follow up.
00:09:24.16\00:09:26.36
Yes! Thank you
friends but don't go away,
00:09:26.39\00:09:28.63
because Dr. Lukens is up next.
00:09:28.66\00:09:30.70
Welcome back friends,
help me welcome Dr. Lukens.
00:10:07.50\00:10:11.64
Very nice, very nice to
be here. Good to see you.
00:10:11.67\00:10:14.34
I know you are a busy guy
like the rest of these doctors.
00:10:14.38\00:10:18.18
You guys are taking on guests
eight, nine and ten at a time.
00:10:18.21\00:10:22.85
Let me tell you how bad it is
here. We have to go on a picnic
00:10:22.88\00:10:27.19
with our guests. That's
pretty bad, that must...
00:10:27.22\00:10:31.59
It's wonderful, they love it,
they say they never had a chance
00:10:31.63\00:10:34.36
to really sit down and
chat or walk and chat with their
00:10:34.40\00:10:38.50
doctor. Well, yeah but you guys
do that and you are one on one
00:10:38.53\00:10:42.50
with them on five
different occasions,
00:10:42.54\00:10:44.71
I know that for a fact. Yeah.
00:10:44.74\00:10:46.17
At least that is what I
tell them before they get here.
00:10:46.21\00:10:48.74
I hope you are doing that. Yeah.
00:10:48.78\00:10:51.78
Incidentally, the first one
is an hour long visit than the
00:10:51.81\00:10:55.52
other four half hour visits.
00:10:55.55\00:10:57.75
Yeah. And we do a treadmill
and a lot of other testing.
00:10:57.79\00:11:03.86
We do lab work and we can
find out what's going on and
00:11:03.89\00:11:10.37
some of the time, some of
the time it's like a miracle,
00:11:10.40\00:11:15.00
we just had another one
this session where the guy's
00:11:15.04\00:11:18.17
triglycerides were around
a thousand and they came down
00:11:18.21\00:11:22.61
to 200. Wow! Yeah
well I mean he never...
00:11:22.64\00:11:27.88
Oh, I haven't
seen that in 30 years.
00:11:27.92\00:11:30.42
Well, I've never heard of
it either obviously but...
00:11:30.45\00:11:32.95
What about Jacques? Now this is
a guy that we are talking about
00:11:32.99\00:11:36.62
here and he seems to be
doing okay, his attitude is
00:11:36.66\00:11:39.89
really good, he seems like he
is going through some changes,
00:11:39.93\00:11:43.37
what say you?
00:11:43.40\00:11:45.10
He's 60 years old and
he's from the Caribbean
00:11:45.13\00:11:50.71
but he's worked for
years in Holland as well.
00:11:50.74\00:11:55.11
He has an interesting
history because when he was
00:11:55.14\00:11:59.98
10 years old, he came
down with a kidney disease
00:12:00.02\00:12:03.89
and my ancient past,
they used to call that
00:12:03.92\00:12:08.76
Lipoid Nephrosis. I
don't hear that term so much,
00:12:08.79\00:12:12.49
because I'm not a Pediatrician.
00:12:12.53\00:12:14.40
But he said from being a well
kid and it just comes on like
00:12:14.43\00:12:19.40
that and hopefully you
get older and it goes away,
00:12:19.43\00:12:23.20
but he said that his legs swell
so much that the skin in his
00:12:23.24\00:12:29.64
ankles was
hanging over his shoes.
00:12:29.68\00:12:31.81
Wow! So he was really...
It was really wonderful
00:12:31.85\00:12:37.45
and he didn't tell me what all
they did, but he got over that
00:12:37.49\00:12:42.22
and then he was going
along pretty good and his...
00:12:42.26\00:12:46.29
I see this almost never. But
the atrium...most people have
00:12:46.33\00:12:53.17
never heard atrial fibrillation
where the top is just quivering
00:12:53.20\00:12:57.61
and that can be really expensive
to try to get that ironed out.
00:12:57.64\00:13:02.51
Well, his is a flutter so
it's going like this instead of
00:13:02.54\00:13:05.75
like this and he was so
tired, he just couldn't function
00:13:05.78\00:13:13.22
and there's something
called the injection fraction
00:13:13.25\00:13:16.83
and every time your heart beats,
45 to 60% of the left ventricle
00:13:16.86\00:13:23.33
is supposed to squeeze out
and go into your circulation.
00:13:23.37\00:13:28.07
Well, his was down to 14.
Umm! And that was really tough.
00:13:28.10\00:13:34.58
He's been on some medication
for it and he has gotten better,
00:13:34.61\00:13:37.88
he's been able to do some
exercising and so forth but
00:13:37.91\00:13:41.68
he just wants to get off of it-
some of the time it makes him
00:13:41.72\00:13:45.79
feel tired and I said
well, if you get off of it,
00:13:45.82\00:13:50.66
and your doctor's not
happy about it because you
00:13:50.69\00:13:54.36
go into an arrhythmia,
that could be tens of thousands
00:13:54.40\00:13:58.30
of dollars to have to
catheterize your heart and do
00:13:58.33\00:14:01.90
things like that to
get that to go away.
00:14:01.94\00:14:04.67
So we got it...he
came and he decided man,
00:14:04.71\00:14:09.88
I came here to get
off of all my medicine,
00:14:09.91\00:14:12.31
so I had to talk to him like
a Dutch Uncle...and anyway...
00:14:12.35\00:14:16.69
I said look you have done
so well here, he's walked up to
00:14:16.72\00:14:20.92
seven miles and a...
Per day you're saying.
00:14:20.96\00:14:25.03
Yeah, his average is five but
he's walked up to seven miles.
00:14:25.06\00:14:30.13
Um hum. And he feels great,
he lost a little bit of weight
00:14:30.17\00:14:34.67
but his numbers are good
and his kidneys are better than
00:14:34.70\00:14:41.14
normal actually.
00:14:41.18\00:14:43.31
Wow! So, he's happy,
but I guess we tell people
00:14:43.35\00:14:50.42
come to Weimar and we'll
get you off your medications
00:14:50.45\00:14:54.32
but sometimes you have to
be judicious and he understands
00:14:54.36\00:14:59.33
that and everything. But I
think that probably they can
00:14:59.36\00:15:04.40
put another halter on him
and when it doesn't show the
00:15:04.43\00:15:09.14
arrhythmia any more and then he
can do it again in a couple of
00:15:09.17\00:15:11.37
months, I think his doctor
will let him go off his meds.
00:15:11.41\00:15:15.34
Well for the most part people
that come here do get off their
00:15:15.38\00:15:19.28
medications. I know
that happened to me and
00:15:19.31\00:15:21.35
several people since I've
been here, I've watched these
00:15:21.38\00:15:25.19
miracles happen as I call
them. So but once in awhile
00:15:25.22\00:15:29.82
it's just not happening and
I know that you doctors know
00:15:29.86\00:15:35.00
best and so you don't
take him off these medications.
00:15:35.03\00:15:38.30
Not right away but he cut his
in half all the way around by...
00:15:38.33\00:15:42.30
On his own and he said
what do you think of that and I
00:15:42.34\00:15:45.97
said, well, it's been
enough days and I'm not going to
00:15:46.01\00:15:48.98
jack him back up
but I'm not responsible.
00:15:49.01\00:15:53.11
All right.
We've run out of time.
00:15:53.15\00:15:55.75
I want to thank you for taking
your time and God bless you
00:15:55.78\00:16:00.09
and God bless
your work. Very good.
00:16:00.12\00:16:02.02
Good to see you
again. I'm glad he came.
00:16:02.06\00:16:04.69
Yeah me too. Thank you
friends and don't go away
00:16:04.73\00:16:07.20
because Pr. Damon is up next.
00:16:07.23\00:16:10.67
Welcome back friends. Pr.
Snead, speaking of friends.
00:16:14.94\00:16:20.34
How are you? I'm
doing great brother.
00:16:20.38\00:16:22.54
Good to see you. Thank you.
00:16:22.58\00:16:24.21
I want to talk about Jacques.
00:16:24.25\00:16:26.08
Is that how you pronounce
his name? Jacques, yes.
00:16:26.11\00:16:28.82
Jacques. That's an
unusual name isn't it?
00:16:28.85\00:16:32.15
For us over here.
Yeah. Over here yeah.
00:16:32.19\00:16:34.32
But none-the-less, I
know that in some ways Jacques
00:16:34.36\00:16:39.59
is struggling and I know
it has a lot to do with his
00:16:39.63\00:16:44.00
physical self, with his
heart and some other things he's
00:16:44.03\00:16:48.40
dealing with but
none-the-less, how is he coming
00:16:48.44\00:16:52.37
along spiritually?
00:16:52.41\00:16:53.88
I think that spiritually- he
came here on a spiritual high.
00:16:53.91\00:16:59.51
I listen to him and he
tells me that's great, that's a
00:16:59.55\00:17:03.62
wonderful sermon, but he's
already at a fevered pitch.
00:17:03.65\00:17:07.79
He's there in other words. Yes.
00:17:07.82\00:17:10.93
I contributed
little to him. Really.
00:17:10.96\00:17:13.76
I think it's his condition
that brought him to that place.
00:17:13.80\00:17:19.80
He's had a rough childhood,
raised by a grandparent,
00:17:19.83\00:17:23.44
mother died at a very young age
from a heart condition later.
00:17:23.47\00:17:28.71
He didn't understand
why his mother died so young
00:17:28.74\00:17:31.11
until he found out that he
had that same kind of condition
00:17:31.15\00:17:33.52
where his heart is enlarging
and then thins and then can
00:17:33.55\00:17:36.48
explode.
00:17:36.52\00:17:39.35
How did he get
this spiritual attitude?
00:17:39.39\00:17:42.92
This conviction that
is... where did that come from?
00:17:42.96\00:17:46.39
Something that he told me
in one of our interviews that
00:17:46.43\00:17:49.03
that just profoundly
impacted me personally because
00:17:49.06\00:17:54.17
I though this
is a great thought.
00:17:54.20\00:17:55.90
Now I don't want to be
in his physical condition,
00:17:55.94\00:17:57.81
who would want to have a heart
that is thinning and thinning
00:17:57.84\00:18:00.34
and thinning that it could
explode and you have to be on
00:18:00.38\00:18:02.24
medicines and...But he
told me when he realized
00:18:02.28\00:18:06.41
when they told him what he had
and his mother had died of...
00:18:06.45\00:18:09.32
He realized right then, that
he has to live a very different
00:18:09.35\00:18:12.75
kind of life than
the average person.
00:18:12.79\00:18:14.82
He cannot afford to go weeks,
days, months without connecting
00:18:14.86\00:18:20.26
with God because literally at
any moment his life could end.
00:18:20.30\00:18:24.07
So that has driven him
into this consciousness that
00:18:24.10\00:18:29.00
I've got to be right with God
and of course he's working on
00:18:29.04\00:18:31.17
his health, that's why
he's here, he's doing all he can
00:18:31.21\00:18:33.34
in that way, but he knows,
I've got to keep my spirituality
00:18:33.38\00:18:36.81
at optimum at all times, I
can't afford to ever let up.
00:18:36.85\00:18:41.45
So he's blessed.
Yes, that's strange
00:18:41.48\00:18:45.05
I don't know if I
want that kind of blessing.
00:18:45.09\00:18:46.99
But I do, but I don't,
but that's the beauty of it.
00:18:47.02\00:18:53.63
It was such a spiritual
lesson for me to think,
00:18:53.66\00:18:56.63
man, that's how we all
need to be at all times.
00:18:56.67\00:18:59.27
Amen! When you think about
it, look, what do we have here
00:18:59.30\00:19:02.74
70, 80, 90, years. What do
we have when we leave here?
00:19:02.77\00:19:06.71
We have eternity, when you
compare 90 years with eternity,
00:19:06.74\00:19:12.65
this is nothing. That's right.
00:19:12.68\00:19:15.32
That's what I meant by
he's blessed because he's really
00:19:15.35\00:19:20.26
is getting it. This could
be his last breath that he is
00:19:20.29\00:19:23.53
taking right at this moment.
00:19:23.56\00:19:25.43
He's not distracted
with the things that we're
00:19:25.46\00:19:27.53
distracted with.
Maybe not us but others.
00:19:27.56\00:19:31.30
Me myself at times...He's
just not in to the things
00:19:31.33\00:19:33.64
that distract us because
he's constantly being reminded
00:19:33.67\00:19:36.44
every time he wakes up...
00:19:36.47\00:19:37.81
Every time he hears his
own heartbeat, he's thinking...
00:19:37.84\00:19:42.48
Is this it? Is this the big one?
00:19:42.51\00:19:44.61
That's disturbing to me and yet,
I wish I could live that way
00:19:44.65\00:19:48.68
constantly. Every time I
hear my heart I'm thinking
00:19:48.72\00:19:51.55
well is today my last
day, is tomorrow my last day.
00:19:51.59\00:19:54.06
You know, you look at the
newspapers today, good men,
00:19:54.09\00:19:57.59
Christian people are dying
all the time, all around us
00:19:57.63\00:20:00.93
and so there's nothing to
say that tomorrow's not mine.
00:20:00.96\00:20:05.30
That's right.
There's nothing to say that.
00:20:05.33\00:20:08.44
So I should have the same
attitude that Jacques does.
00:20:08.47\00:20:11.81
I mean, I was
really impressed with him.
00:20:11.84\00:20:15.61
From my perspective, you
do and what you shared with us
00:20:15.64\00:20:21.45
at church last night on your
"Wheel of Faith" presentation,
00:20:21.48\00:20:25.82
I see the only thing
that Paul got wrong...
00:20:25.85\00:20:31.26
I'm not saying that Paul
is wrong, but if you were to
00:20:31.29\00:20:34.33
re-write it, he might
say, I die moment by moment
00:20:34.36\00:20:38.13
rather than I die daily. Oh yes.
00:20:38.17\00:20:41.04
Because isn't it a
moment by moment that we need to
00:20:41.07\00:20:44.04
surrender and give
our heart to the Lord?
00:20:44.07\00:20:46.31
We can't trust ourselves as
far as we can throw ourselves.
00:20:46.34\00:20:49.51
By moment by moment, you
are right because I could
00:20:49.54\00:20:51.75
walk out of here,
spiritually doing so great,
00:20:51.78\00:20:53.95
everyone loves me and then
run into someone in the hallway
00:20:53.98\00:20:56.18
and then just have a moment.
00:20:56.38\00:20:57.72
That's right. Forget what
I'm doing a get upset or...
00:20:57.75\00:21:00.66
literally moment by moment is
how we...heartbeat by heartbeat
00:21:00.69\00:21:04.96
like our brother.
00:21:04.99\00:21:06.33
Man, it's so good to
talk to you like this.
00:21:07.53\00:21:09.86
We're running out of time.
I want to thank you brother.
00:21:09.93\00:21:12.63
All righty my friend. God
bless you and your ministry.
00:21:12.67\00:21:14.94
Don't go away, Dr. Nedley
and Dr. Ramerez are up next.
00:21:14.97\00:21:20.04
Every year in America there are
over 1 million deaths because of
00:21:23.08\00:21:26.31
Type 2 Diabetes
and Chronic Obesity.
00:21:26.35\00:21:28.45
This includes Heart
Attacks and Strokes.
00:21:28.48\00:21:30.85
That's six and a half
747's crashing every day.
00:21:30.89\00:21:34.16
What's even more surprising
is that The Fix Is Easy.
00:21:34.19\00:21:37.79
It's Your Lifestyle.
00:21:37.83\00:21:39.49
Wouldn't be nice if you
could actually add quality years
00:21:39.53\00:21:42.40
to your life rather than
dying an organ at a time?
00:21:42.43\00:21:45.20
Obesity and Diabetes are the
cause of over a million deaths
00:21:45.23\00:21:48.80
per year.
00:21:48.84\00:21:50.17
Most diseases are reversible
because most diseases are
00:21:50.21\00:21:53.54
Lifestyle Diseases.
00:21:53.58\00:21:54.91
Especially Type 2
Diabetes and Chronic Obesity.
00:21:54.94\00:21:58.01
Seriously now, they can
be reversed and the quality
00:21:58.05\00:22:01.48
of your life can be renewed.
00:22:01.52\00:22:03.79
You will see dramatic in the
first few days of our program
00:22:10.23\00:22:14.20
and you will be on the road
to a better, more robust quality
00:22:14.23\00:22:17.17
of life. The Newstart Programs
are Simple and Effective.
00:22:17.20\00:22:21.40
Welcome to Weimar
Institute Research.
00:22:23.71\00:22:26.21
Today we have Dr. Ramirez,
the head of our research at
00:22:26.24\00:22:30.98
Weimar College who teaches in
our health science department,
00:22:31.01\00:22:34.55
research methods and today we
have another angle at looking at
00:22:34.58\00:22:41.79
some health principles and tell
us about this particular angle
00:22:41.82\00:22:46.43
Dr. Rameriz.
00:22:46.46\00:22:47.80
Yeah, this one is dealing about
regularity and it's interesting
00:22:47.83\00:22:51.33
because I've been to more than
60 countries lecturing about
00:22:51.37\00:22:54.67
these principles of Newstart
and people come to me and say,
00:22:54.70\00:22:58.41
you know this is the first
time I hear that regularity is
00:22:58.44\00:23:01.24
important for my health.
00:23:01.28\00:23:02.81
Yes, we have a...we know that
circadian rhythms are important
00:23:02.84\00:23:08.18
and this is our daily cycle.
00:23:08.22\00:23:12.42
We also know that light
helps set the circadian rhythms
00:23:12.45\00:23:16.76
and if our circadian
rhythms are doing well,
00:23:16.79\00:23:18.96
we're going to
be sleeping better.
00:23:18.99\00:23:22.10
But this is also taking a look
not only at regularity regarding
00:23:22.13\00:23:26.90
sleep, but
regularity in another area.
00:23:26.94\00:23:29.90
Also in your meals, eating
your meals at the same time
00:23:29.94\00:23:36.11
every day,
including the weekends.
00:23:36.14\00:23:37.71
Ok, so if you have regularity in
eating, it actually can improve
00:23:37.75\00:23:43.99
your health.
00:23:44.02\00:23:45.95
That's right. Now
what area of health are you
00:23:45.99\00:23:48.02
looking at?
00:23:48.06\00:23:49.39
We were focusing
here, on mental health.
00:23:49.42\00:23:52.59
What effect does regular
eating and sleeping have on your
00:23:52.63\00:23:57.23
depression?
00:23:57.27\00:23:58.60
I went to a GI conference
a little over a year ago
00:23:58.63\00:24:02.07
where they talked about even our
bowel has a circadian rhythm.
00:24:02.10\00:24:06.78
Um hum. It does much
better if we have that rhythm
00:24:06.81\00:24:10.78
aligned and on a regular basis.
00:24:10.81\00:24:13.72
We have the solution to the
Blue Monday that many people
00:24:13.75\00:24:18.52
suffer from worldwide.
00:24:18.55\00:24:21.92
Yeah, the Blue Monday because
they get off in their sleep
00:24:21.96\00:24:26.70
and they get off in
their meals. That's right.
00:24:26.73\00:24:29.46
So how many people
were you looking at?
00:24:29.50\00:24:31.93
So this is a big sample 5,621
participants that did an eight
00:24:31.97\00:24:39.84
week Community
Education Week program.
00:24:39.87\00:24:42.61
Okay, and that Community
Education Program was the
00:24:42.64\00:24:46.11
depression and anxiety
recovery program. Um hum.
00:24:46.15\00:24:49.48
And by going to that
program, they take a test
00:24:49.52\00:24:53.49
at the beginning to see where
they are at and assess them.
00:24:53.52\00:24:57.09
What did we find
out in that first test?
00:24:57.13\00:24:59.79
What we found out is that
those people that don't have
00:24:59.83\00:25:02.96
regularity, tend to have
higher levels of depression.
00:25:03.00\00:25:07.54
Fifteen points on
average compared to those that
00:25:07.57\00:25:11.27
have that regularity that their
mental health is much better.
00:25:11.31\00:25:15.91
Okay, so regularity
in both things then.
00:25:15.94\00:25:19.28
Both things.
Sleeping and eating will
00:25:19.31\00:25:21.45
actually help your depression
and anxieties significantly,
00:25:21.48\00:25:25.79
or not make it as
severe if you have it.
00:25:25.82\00:25:27.96
We also found out that
those that are not regular
00:25:27.99\00:25:31.89
are about 30% of
them, they don't sleep good,
00:25:31.93\00:25:36.40
they have bad sleep.
00:25:36.43\00:25:38.03
Okay, so it will
also affect your sleep.
00:25:38.07\00:25:40.84
Now what happened
during the eight weeks then?
00:25:40.87\00:25:43.94
So through the eight weeks,
they were educated on this
00:25:43.97\00:25:47.38
Newstart principles
that are so important,
00:25:47.41\00:25:50.31
but also on that regularity
because our brain doesn't
00:25:50.35\00:25:54.82
work when there is
disaster in our lives.
00:25:54.85\00:25:57.15
So were some of them
convinced enough to change
00:25:57.19\00:26:00.49
their lifestyle? I know
the program isn't just about
00:26:00.52\00:26:03.22
regularity, there's a
lot of other things like...
00:26:03.26\00:26:05.26
That's right. Lots of Behavioral
therapy and nutrition,
00:26:05.29\00:26:07.76
but did some people actually
change their lifestyle habits?
00:26:07.80\00:26:12.60
By the end of the program,
12% of those non-regulars
00:26:12.63\00:26:17.51
decided to become
regulars and it was reflected
00:26:17.54\00:26:20.21
in their scores.
Okay, so if they did become
00:26:20.24\00:26:23.24
regular, what happened?
00:26:23.28\00:26:24.61
If they became regular, it was
reflected on lower depression
00:26:24.65\00:26:29.42
levels, some of them
non- depression level
00:26:29.45\00:26:32.09
and also their sleep
quality. Only 15%, no only 8%
00:26:32.12\00:26:38.59
by the end of the
program had bad sleep.
00:26:38.63\00:26:42.63
So from 30% that
didn't have regularity,
00:26:42.66\00:26:46.30
those that are regular by
the end 8% only had bad sleep.
00:26:46.33\00:26:50.64
So just becoming regular in
the time you are going to bed,
00:26:50.67\00:26:53.88
the time you are
getting up, and regular in meals
00:26:53.91\00:26:56.68
can turn you from a bad
sleeper into a good sleeper.
00:26:56.71\00:27:01.02
That's correct. That's
a dramatic improvement.
00:27:01.05\00:27:03.18
The vast majority of
those who did that improved
00:27:03.22\00:27:06.42
just by doing that.
00:27:06.45\00:27:07.99
That's right. As a result of
improving their circadian rhythm
00:27:08.02\00:27:12.16
of their sleep
patterns and their meals,
00:27:12.19\00:27:14.73
their depression and
anxiety recovery scores became
00:27:14.76\00:27:18.73
far better as well.
00:27:18.77\00:27:20.24
I would like to encourage you
to be regular in your sleeping
00:27:20.27\00:27:25.24
and eating habits. It can pay
rich dividends in better sleep
00:27:25.27\00:27:30.38
and better mood.
00:27:30.41\00:27:31.75
