Well, we're gonna talk about
the brain being an organ too,
00:01:00.36\00:01:04.61
so I take it
that you all must have
00:01:04.62\00:01:06.50
some interest in your brain
that's why you're here, right.
00:01:06.51\00:01:09.44
Well, I think the
most important thing
00:01:09.45\00:01:10.84
that we can do before we do
anything is look to the Lord.
00:01:10.85\00:01:13.06
Amen. Let's pray.
00:01:13.07\00:01:15.59
Heavenly Father,
how grateful we're
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.29
for another day that
You blessed us to see.
00:01:17.30\00:01:20.60
We thank You for these gentlemen
00:01:20.61\00:01:21.80
that have come out
to be in this session
00:01:21.81\00:01:24.16
and we pray in the name of Jesus
00:01:24.17\00:01:25.34
that Your Holy Spirit
would use me to Your honor
00:01:25.35\00:01:28.25
and to Your glory,
00:01:28.26\00:01:29.61
that You would help
their hearts and their minds
00:01:29.62\00:01:30.93
to be receptive.
00:01:30.94\00:01:32.38
And Lord, that You would
help all things to be done
00:01:32.39\00:01:34.16
decently and in order.
00:01:34.17\00:01:35.82
In Jesus name we
ask and we pray. Amen.
00:01:35.83\00:01:39.17
Now, gentlemen, I
want to make a statement
00:01:39.18\00:01:44.28
and see if you agree with it
00:01:44.29\00:01:46.10
and then we're gonna ask
you question following that.
00:01:46.11\00:01:47.78
Is that all right?
00:01:47.79\00:01:49.52
Now, if I say to
you, your health matters,
00:01:49.53\00:01:54.27
your health
matters, would you give me
00:01:54.28\00:01:56.16
an enthusiastic
resounding yes. Amen.
00:01:56.17\00:02:00.81
So say this with
me. My health matters.
00:02:00.82\00:02:04.80
My health matters. Amen.
00:02:04.81\00:02:06.15
Now if I came
back and say to you,
00:02:06.16\00:02:08.78
Or does it? Or does it?
00:02:08.79\00:02:12.41
How would you feel?
00:02:12.42\00:02:13.64
There's an old saying that goes,
00:02:13.65\00:02:17.24
your actions are
speaking so loudly
00:02:17.25\00:02:20.06
that I can't hear a
word that you're saying.
00:02:20.07\00:02:22.87
Have you ever heard that one?
00:02:22.88\00:02:24.48
Very, very popular saying.
00:02:24.49\00:02:25.94
So we're gonna find out today
00:02:25.95\00:02:27.81
if our actions are
in line with our words,
00:02:27.82\00:02:30.49
and they should be,
amen. They should be.
00:02:30.50\00:02:33.07
So, your health
matters or does it.
00:02:33.08\00:02:36.05
Now when we go through this
00:02:36.06\00:02:39.26
we're going to see that
the brain is an organ too.
00:02:39.27\00:02:45.21
When we talk about
the brain being an organ,
00:02:45.22\00:02:47.74
we don't often think about it
00:02:47.75\00:02:49.94
like we do the rest of the body.
00:02:49.95\00:02:51.30
We have a
tendency to separate it.
00:02:51.31\00:02:53.13
We think about
things like heart disease
00:02:53.14\00:02:55.19
and cancer and diabetes
00:02:55.20\00:02:57.38
and stroke and all those things,
00:02:57.39\00:02:59.38
but it's somehow
separated from the brain.
00:02:59.39\00:03:02.45
Now do you believe
that can really be so.
00:03:02.46\00:03:05.24
Do you believe
that can really be so?
00:03:05.25\00:03:07.20
The brain is an organ too.
00:03:07.21\00:03:09.31
Next slide please, if you look
at this picture of the brain
00:03:09.32\00:03:13.88
you will see that it is
a very complex structure.
00:03:13.89\00:03:17.82
Now don't worry,
I don't expect you
00:03:17.83\00:03:19.24
to memorize every word on here
00:03:19.25\00:03:21.17
and know what it means,
00:03:21.18\00:03:22.26
but there are
certain areas of the brain
00:03:22.27\00:03:23.79
that we're going to talk about.
00:03:23.80\00:03:24.82
Because where do we
communicate with God,
00:03:24.83\00:03:27.68
through our what?
00:03:27.69\00:03:29.43
Through our mind,
through our brain.
00:03:29.44\00:03:30.93
So if the brain
isn't what it should be,
00:03:30.94\00:03:33.06
will not the enemy of our souls
00:03:33.07\00:03:34.94
use that against us
00:03:34.95\00:03:37.15
in communication
with our Creator.
00:03:37.16\00:03:39.49
And if we cannot have
00:03:39.50\00:03:40.81
communication with our Creator,
00:03:40.82\00:03:42.34
how can we keep the
first four commandments,
00:03:42.35\00:03:44.27
and if we can't keep
the first four commandments,
00:03:44.28\00:03:46.28
how can we keep the last six.
00:03:46.29\00:03:48.09
So he interrupts our
relationship with God
00:03:48.10\00:03:50.54
and with our fellow man, amen.
00:03:50.55\00:03:53.00
Next slide please.
00:03:53.01\00:03:54.25
So, a question I
have for you today.
00:03:54.26\00:03:56.74
What's on your mind?
00:03:56.75\00:03:58.91
What's on your mind?
00:03:58.92\00:04:01.49
Now God is a
discerner of the thoughts
00:04:01.50\00:04:04.32
so He knows what's
on our minds, amen.
00:04:04.33\00:04:07.06
Satan cannot read our
minds, did you know that.
00:04:07.07\00:04:09.91
He cannot read our minds
00:04:09.92\00:04:11.48
all he can go by
is our past actions.
00:04:11.49\00:04:15.78
So, he will
tempt us according to
00:04:15.79\00:04:18.07
what our behaviors
had been in the past.
00:04:18.08\00:04:19.78
He knows your pattern,
he's known me for 50 years,
00:04:19.79\00:04:23.08
50 years so he
can kind of predict,
00:04:23.09\00:04:25.02
well if I put
this in Bobby's pat
00:04:25.03\00:04:27.20
the likelihood and the
chance of this happening
00:04:27.21\00:04:29.88
is going to be this, amen.
00:04:29.89\00:04:32.23
So that's what he does.
00:04:32.24\00:04:33.24
He goes by predictability,
00:04:33.25\00:04:34.66
but God knows
what's on your mind.
00:04:34.67\00:04:36.86
But do you know that
many times we don't even know
00:04:36.87\00:04:38.88
what's on our mind.
00:04:38.89\00:04:40.98
Is the heart deceitful?
00:04:40.99\00:04:43.67
Is it wicked? Who can know it?
00:04:43.68\00:04:46.58
Now let's talk about shopping.
00:04:46.59\00:04:47.68
I know that this
is a men's meeting,
00:04:47.69\00:04:49.66
but we're gonna
talk about shopping.
00:04:49.67\00:04:52.01
Now we know our
ladies love to shop, amen.
00:04:52.02\00:04:54.96
They love to shop
00:04:54.97\00:04:57.50
and sometimes
they kind of hurt us
00:04:57.51\00:05:00.19
when they shop, don't they?
00:05:00.20\00:05:02.03
But we like to shop too.
00:05:02.04\00:05:03.81
Men like to look good and
men love their toys, amen.
00:05:03.82\00:05:10.42
Now when you talk about shopping
00:05:10.43\00:05:12.66
and you talk about
things that you like to do,
00:05:12.67\00:05:14.63
had you ever
wanted to go shopping
00:05:14.64\00:05:16.19
for the latest disease.
00:05:16.20\00:05:17.58
If I say,
fellows, I'm having a sale
00:05:19.31\00:05:22.88
on cancer 50% off,
diabetes one third,
00:05:22.89\00:05:30.50
if I say how about a stroke,
00:05:30.51\00:05:32.43
we got strokes on
the shelf over here,
00:05:32.44\00:05:34.76
do you want these?
What would you say to me?
00:05:34.77\00:05:38.43
Absolutely not.
00:05:38.44\00:05:39.97
Scroll down the slide please
00:05:39.98\00:05:41.32
and if you can
look at these pictures
00:05:41.33\00:05:43.31
and see the
diseases that we are played
00:05:43.32\00:05:46.18
within our nation in
abundance heart disease,
00:05:46.19\00:05:49.92
the cancer, the
rheumatoid arthritis,
00:05:49.93\00:05:52.20
the diabetes, the stroke.
00:05:52.21\00:05:54.84
We don't plan for these things,
00:05:54.85\00:05:55.99
do we, gentlemen?
00:05:56.00\00:05:57.34
We don't actually live
life going from day to day
00:05:57.35\00:06:00.13
saying that I'm
going to get some cancer
00:06:00.14\00:06:02.23
before I'm out of here, amen.
00:06:02.24\00:06:05.11
We don't say you know,
00:06:05.12\00:06:06.14
I cannot win until
I've heart attack, do we?
00:06:06.15\00:06:10.51
Oh man, I'm so looking forward
00:06:10.52\00:06:13.01
to being crippled
over rheumatoid arthritis.
00:06:13.02\00:06:16.13
Does that not sound foolish.
00:06:16.14\00:06:17.72
I am looking
forward to injecting myself
00:06:17.73\00:06:19.56
with a needle. I
want to be diabetic.
00:06:19.57\00:06:22.68
Does that sound dumb or what?
00:06:22.69\00:06:24.42
Sounds dumb, we would not
intentionally shop for that.
00:06:24.43\00:06:26.70
Next slide please.
00:06:26.71\00:06:27.86
But if you're not
shopping for health,
00:06:27.87\00:06:31.91
if you're not
shopping for health,
00:06:31.92\00:06:34.19
if you're not paying
attention to the time
00:06:34.20\00:06:36.48
that you spend
with your creator,
00:06:36.49\00:06:38.11
if you're not
getting out in the open air,
00:06:38.12\00:06:40.61
if you're not
getting daily exercise,
00:06:40.62\00:06:42.97
sunshine, proper
rest, loss of water,
00:06:42.98\00:06:46.54
always being
tempered in your behavior,
00:06:46.55\00:06:48.26
and just being
strict to your nutrition
00:06:48.27\00:06:51.69
guess what you're shopping for.
00:06:51.70\00:06:53.73
Guess what you're shopping for.
00:06:53.74\00:06:55.02
Now I'm not going to
say this to be insulting,
00:06:55.03\00:06:56.92
but I'm gonna ask
00:06:56.93\00:06:58.25
how many people here
have had a bathe recently?
00:06:58.26\00:07:01.72
Now look around, look
around the auditorium.
00:07:01.73\00:07:04.36
I don't see any hands up.
00:07:04.37\00:07:05.97
Now why did I
particularly ask about a bathe,
00:07:05.98\00:07:07.93
not because I'm
insulting your personal hygiene,
00:07:07.94\00:07:10.80
but because we
don't take the time
00:07:10.81\00:07:14.65
to take baths anymore, do we?
00:07:14.66\00:07:15.78
What we do fellows?
00:07:15.79\00:07:17.19
We take showers right,
because we're in a hurry.
00:07:17.20\00:07:19.73
I would take one but I'm busy.
00:07:22.35\00:07:24.75
Where you going? I
don't know but I'm just busy.
00:07:24.76\00:07:27.01
And that's us, always on the go.
00:07:27.02\00:07:29.56
But do you know
what busy stands for?
00:07:29.57\00:07:32.80
Being under Satan's yoke.
00:07:32.81\00:07:35.65
We get so busy
00:07:37.87\00:07:39.17
that we don't have
time for the things of God.
00:07:39.18\00:07:42.37
We get so busy
that we don't have time
00:07:42.38\00:07:46.27
to spend with our
families, with our children,
00:07:46.28\00:07:49.44
with our fellow man, and
then when people need us,
00:07:49.45\00:07:51.85
I'm sorry, I
want to help you out,
00:07:51.86\00:07:53.29
but I just don't have the time.
00:07:53.30\00:07:56.79
Sickness is
killing us because of time.
00:07:56.80\00:07:58.59
Next slide please.
00:07:58.60\00:08:00.04
So you must be
shopping for disease.
00:08:00.05\00:08:04.30
Now if you look
at that word disease
00:08:04.31\00:08:06.24
and you look at
these photographs
00:08:06.25\00:08:07.62
that are
associated, when they come out
00:08:07.63\00:08:09.79
you will see that we
are not looking forward
00:08:09.80\00:08:13.85
to being latent with disease.
00:08:13.86\00:08:17.64
Look at the word disease,
00:08:17.65\00:08:18.99
"dis" "ease," "uncomfortable."
00:08:19.00\00:08:24.15
Six years ago, I was diagnosed
00:08:24.16\00:08:25.70
with prostate cancer,
young age I was 44 years old,
00:08:25.71\00:08:29.51
at 44 years old and had
been living a healthy lifestyle,
00:08:29.52\00:08:33.30
people knew me as a healthy man.
00:08:33.31\00:08:35.20
It's like how did
Bobby Scales get cancer.
00:08:35.21\00:08:38.17
This guy's being
paying attention.
00:08:38.18\00:08:40.01
Do you think I was at
ease when they told me that?
00:08:40.02\00:08:44.33
Do you think that my
colleagues were at ease
00:08:44.34\00:08:45.97
when I said I'm gonna
take a natural approach.
00:08:45.98\00:08:48.38
That really made
some people un at ease.
00:08:48.39\00:08:52.80
But that significant
thing is I didn't plan that.
00:08:52.81\00:08:56.29
And there are
people that are sitting
00:08:56.30\00:08:57.63
under the sound of my voice
00:08:57.64\00:08:59.36
that are going
to develop disease
00:08:59.37\00:09:01.12
that they're not
planning to develop.
00:09:01.13\00:09:02.74
Did you know that
88% of our population
00:09:02.75\00:09:05.32
in the United States dies from
either cardiovascular disease
00:09:05.33\00:09:09.09
or cancer?
00:09:09.10\00:09:11.00
Did you know that
a couple of years ago
00:09:11.01\00:09:13.14
the cancer became
the number one killer
00:09:13.15\00:09:17.11
under the age of
88. That's phenomenal.
00:09:17.12\00:09:21.65
But guess what, these
things are preventable,
00:09:21.66\00:09:23.95
if you believe
they're preventable say, amen.
00:09:23.96\00:09:26.30
Now I'm gonna ask you a
question regarding illness.
00:09:26.31\00:09:29.16
I'm gonna ask you a question.
00:09:29.17\00:09:30.52
If you were
traveling to some place
00:09:30.53\00:09:33.26
like Mexico or India
00:09:33.27\00:09:35.40
somewhere like that they
might have contaminated water
00:09:35.41\00:09:38.54
or you are
participating in an event
00:09:38.55\00:09:41.63
and you
contracted food poisoning,
00:09:41.64\00:09:44.36
would you repeat or
continue that same behavior
00:09:44.37\00:09:48.48
if this had happened
to you previously? No.
00:09:48.49\00:09:53.06
Are you sure?
00:09:53.07\00:09:55.61
You all know, I'm
setting you up, don't you?
00:09:55.62\00:09:57.97
Are you sure?
00:09:57.98\00:10:00.44
Because what we're doing now
00:10:00.45\00:10:03.36
not only will
determine how long we will live,
00:10:03.37\00:10:06.96
but it will determine
the quality of our life
00:10:06.97\00:10:09.62
and how we will die.
00:10:09.63\00:10:12.16
If you believe that say, amen.
00:10:12.17\00:10:14.00
Now to stop disease
two things must occur.
00:10:14.01\00:10:17.05
Two thing must occur.
00:10:17.06\00:10:18.89
Number one we must stop doing
00:10:18.90\00:10:21.59
what is making us sick, amen.
00:10:21.60\00:10:23.71
Seems pretty simple.
00:10:23.72\00:10:24.97
We must stop and
we must start doing
00:10:24.98\00:10:28.50
what will make us well.
00:10:28.51\00:10:30.81
Does that make sense?
00:10:30.82\00:10:32.42
But it's easier
to said than done
00:10:32.43\00:10:35.02
because the enemy
messes with our mind.
00:10:35.03\00:10:40.01
Next slide please.
00:10:40.02\00:10:41.31
So, the question I
have for you today is,
00:10:41.32\00:10:44.18
"Is your brain on fire?"
00:10:44.19\00:10:48.16
"Is your brain on fire?"
00:10:48.17\00:10:51.48
A study was done by a
professor Paul Thompson
00:10:51.49\00:10:55.23
at UCLA in the year 2001
00:10:55.24\00:10:59.01
where they show
people with schizophrenia,
00:10:59.02\00:11:01.01
there was a
certain type of MRI scan
00:11:01.02\00:11:02.78
that they can do on the brain
00:11:02.79\00:11:04.28
and when they
compared it to normal brains,
00:11:04.29\00:11:06.73
the way that this
gentleman described
00:11:06.74\00:11:08.33
it was that it appeared
00:11:08.34\00:11:10.35
as if there was a forest
fire in these people's brains.
00:11:10.36\00:11:14.51
They were actually
destroying nerve cells
00:11:14.52\00:11:17.04
in their brain.
Their brain was on fire.
00:11:17.05\00:11:19.03
Time Magazine
stated a few years ago
00:11:19.04\00:11:21.39
that the underlying cause
in virtually all disease is,
00:11:21.40\00:11:24.87
does anybody
remember what it was?
00:11:24.88\00:11:26.83
Inflammation. Inflammation.
00:11:26.84\00:11:30.36
Now what is the root
word of the word inflammation?
00:11:30.37\00:11:34.28
Flame, which means what?
00:11:34.29\00:11:36.67
A fire. Is your brain on fire?
00:11:36.68\00:11:39.11
Now, let's look at a
a brain comparison here.
00:11:39.12\00:11:41.03
Now we have here a human,
00:11:41.04\00:11:42.57
a monkey, a cat,
a rat, and a frog.
00:11:42.58\00:11:46.84
And in our next slide
we have some other animals
00:11:46.85\00:11:49.15
rabbits, raccoons,
squirrels, camels, and dolphin.
00:11:49.16\00:11:53.45
Have you
noticed, the human brain
00:11:53.46\00:11:55.45
has a lot of folds to it
00:11:55.46\00:11:57.42
and a lot of
groves called sulci?
00:11:57.43\00:11:59.96
It is really a complex structure
00:11:59.97\00:12:01.97
and among these animals
00:12:01.98\00:12:03.44
the most similar to
the human is the dolphin.
00:12:03.45\00:12:07.21
The dolphin, very
intellectual creatures,
00:12:07.22\00:12:11.91
but we have been
given a reasoning ability
00:12:11.92\00:12:15.04
that none of these animals have.
00:12:15.05\00:12:17.33
We were given
dominion over all of them,
00:12:17.34\00:12:20.56
but do we use that dominion
00:12:20.57\00:12:22.14
to make the choices
that we should make.
00:12:22.15\00:12:24.96
So let's talk about
how the brain works.
00:12:24.97\00:12:26.94
The brain is composed
of one trillion cells.
00:12:26.95\00:12:33.91
Now I didn't see
you all get real excited
00:12:33.92\00:12:35.87
when I said, a trillion cells,
00:12:35.88\00:12:37.16
but if I said I was gonna
give you a trillion dollars
00:12:37.17\00:12:38.79
you'll be quite excited, amen.
00:12:38.80\00:12:41.53
But a trillion cells
and each of those cells
00:12:41.54\00:12:44.71
can have up to
10,000 connections
00:12:44.72\00:12:48.35
each to control the whole body.
00:12:48.36\00:12:51.09
Is that deep?
00:12:51.10\00:12:52.95
That is deep, that is deep.
00:12:52.96\00:12:54.97
So when you talk
about the structure
00:12:54.98\00:12:56.26
of our brain alone,
00:12:56.27\00:12:57.68
the structure of our brain alone
00:12:57.69\00:13:00.03
shows that there are connections
00:13:00.04\00:13:03.29
that operate the entire body.
00:13:03.30\00:13:05.25
The brain does
not work in isolation.
00:13:05.26\00:13:07.24
It does not work in isolation.
00:13:07.25\00:13:08.76
Every organ in our body is
communicating with our brain.
00:13:08.77\00:13:12.75
Every organ in our body, I
don't care what organ it is,
00:13:12.76\00:13:15.75
you can go to sleep at night
00:13:15.76\00:13:17.34
and count on your heart
to continue beating, amen.
00:13:17.35\00:13:20.88
You can count on your
lungs to continue breathing.
00:13:20.89\00:13:23.21
You can count on your digestion
00:13:23.22\00:13:24.44
to continue working.
00:13:24.45\00:13:25.95
All of these things are part of
00:13:25.96\00:13:27.19
what we call the
autonomic nervous system.
00:13:27.20\00:13:29.67
Guess what they're connected to?
00:13:29.68\00:13:32.70
Your brain, your brain.
00:13:32.71\00:13:34.48
Now if you don't
believe me, cut your head off,
00:13:34.49\00:13:37.42
all those things will
stop working guaranteed.
00:13:39.59\00:13:42.51
Next slide.
00:13:42.52\00:13:43.62
So how at risk is the brain?
00:13:43.63\00:13:45.42
The bottom line I want
you to get from this slide,
00:13:45.43\00:13:47.46
you don't have to
read the whole slide.
00:13:47.47\00:13:48.58
But the bottom line I
want you to get from this slide
00:13:48.59\00:13:51.13
is that the life of the
flesh is in the what? The blood.
00:13:51.14\00:13:56.05
According to book of Leviticus,
00:13:56.06\00:13:57.22
the life of the
flesh is in the blood.
00:13:57.23\00:13:59.26
Now the blood goes
00:13:59.27\00:14:00.51
to the entire body
including the brain.
00:14:00.52\00:14:04.71
So whatever is
coming to our blood stream
00:14:04.72\00:14:07.59
if there wasn't something
00:14:07.60\00:14:08.75
that we had called
the blood brain barrier,
00:14:08.76\00:14:12.96
which kind of filters,
what gets to our brain,
00:14:12.97\00:14:14.89
it can't keep everything out,
00:14:14.90\00:14:16.38
but it keeps a
lot of things out.
00:14:16.39\00:14:18.20
With the things that
are being put in our foods
00:14:18.21\00:14:19.93
today for example,
every time we ate a meal
00:14:19.94\00:14:23.19
if we didn't have
a blood brain barrier
00:14:23.20\00:14:25.42
we would go berserk.
00:14:25.43\00:14:28.97
Do you believe
in a toxic society,
00:14:28.98\00:14:31.44
do you believe that we are
in a poison, toxic society.
00:14:31.45\00:14:35.37
Our brains are being poisoned.
00:14:35.38\00:14:37.08
Do you believe that
health begins in the mind,
00:14:37.09\00:14:40.91
with a conscious
decision to do the right thing,
00:14:40.92\00:14:44.81
health begins in the mind.
00:14:44.82\00:14:46.48
Keep your heart,
00:14:46.49\00:14:48.24
the bottom line
was keeping your heart
00:14:48.25\00:14:50.32
when you talk
about keeping your heart
00:14:50.33\00:14:52.42
what are we really
making reference to?
00:14:52.43\00:14:57.16
The mind, the mind.
00:14:57.17\00:14:59.47
When the Bible
speaks of the heart,
00:14:59.48\00:15:01.41
it is speaking of the mind.
00:15:01.42\00:15:03.49
It's speaking of the mind.
00:15:03.50\00:15:04.92
So the commentary speaks
of how we purify our heart
00:15:04.93\00:15:09.54
is keeping our mind pure.
00:15:09.55\00:15:11.31
Next slide please.
00:15:11.32\00:15:12.97
Proverbs 4:23, "Keep thy
heart with all diligence,
00:15:12.98\00:15:17.23
for out of it are
the issues of life."
00:15:17.24\00:15:20.77
What heart is it talking about?
00:15:20.78\00:15:22.44
Is it talking about
this heart in our chest
00:15:24.82\00:15:27.48
or is it talking about
this brain in our head?
00:15:27.49\00:15:32.62
Brothers, how does the
enemy of our souls attack us.
00:15:32.63\00:15:36.47
How does he tempt
us? Through our what?
00:15:38.89\00:15:42.25
Through our mind,
00:15:42.26\00:15:43.72
through our five senses, amen.
00:15:43.73\00:15:46.08
Through our five
senses, he whether it's--
00:15:46.09\00:15:49.25
Now think about what
happened in the garden,
00:15:49.26\00:15:51.18
the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eye,
00:15:51.19\00:15:54.31
and the pry of life.
00:15:54.32\00:15:56.30
It is these five senses
00:15:56.31\00:15:57.76
that he always
uses to get to us.
00:15:57.77\00:16:00.74
Earlier in the meeting today,
00:16:00.75\00:16:02.32
many of us came forward
saying that they are things
00:16:02.33\00:16:03.98
that we're having struggles with
00:16:03.99\00:16:05.82
and David Asscherick let us know
00:16:05.83\00:16:07.02
if we're having
struggles at least
00:16:07.03\00:16:08.97
we're still in the game, amen.
00:16:08.98\00:16:11.10
But if you think about
00:16:11.11\00:16:12.14
what your
particular struggle might be.
00:16:12.15\00:16:14.23
It's a battle that
begins in your mind, amen.
00:16:14.24\00:16:16.53
So let's talk about something
00:16:16.54\00:16:17.53
that's directly connected
to the mind, the tongue.
00:16:17.54\00:16:21.50
How is my tongue?
00:16:21.51\00:16:24.31
What does the book of
James say about the tongue?
00:16:24.32\00:16:26.86
Let's look at it.
00:16:26.87\00:16:28.44
It says, "Even so the
tongue is a little member
00:16:28.45\00:16:31.67
and boasteth great
things, especially men,
00:16:31.68\00:16:34.61
we can talk trash, amen.
00:16:34.62\00:16:37.24
We can, behold
how great a matter,
00:16:37.25\00:16:39.60
a little fire kindleth
with and the tongue is a fire.
00:16:39.61\00:16:43.47
A word of iniquity,
00:16:43.48\00:16:44.90
so is the tongue
among our members.
00:16:44.91\00:16:48.18
They defileth
what, the whole body.
00:16:48.19\00:16:52.00
The tongue alone can
defile the whole body
00:16:52.01\00:16:54.90
and set it on fire
the course of nature,
00:16:54.91\00:16:56.81
and is set on fire of hell.
00:16:56.82\00:17:01.44
For every kind of beasts
and of birds and of serpents,
00:17:01.45\00:17:05.55
and of things in the sea,
00:17:05.56\00:17:07.12
is tamed and hath
been tamed of mankind.
00:17:07.13\00:17:09.90
But the tongue can no man tame.
00:17:09.91\00:17:13.73
It is an unruly evil
full of deadly poison.
00:17:13.74\00:17:18.21
Therewith bless we
God, therewith curse we men,
00:17:18.22\00:17:20.80
which are made after
the similitude of God."
00:17:20.81\00:17:22.88
These things
are not be so, amen.
00:17:22.89\00:17:25.42
Can a fountain bring forth
both bitter water and sweet?
00:17:25.43\00:17:28.28
It should not.
00:17:28.29\00:17:29.91
All generation of
vipers, Matthew 12:34 says,
00:17:29.92\00:17:32.59
"How can ye be
evil, speak good things,
00:17:32.60\00:17:35.72
for out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaketh."
00:17:35.73\00:17:38.41
If you want to know
a person's character
00:17:38.42\00:17:41.11
listen to their words, amen.
00:17:41.12\00:17:44.27
Listen to their words.
00:17:44.28\00:17:45.95
If you listen to
someone's speech,
00:17:45.96\00:17:47.75
if you've any
doubts I don't care
00:17:47.76\00:17:49.36
what a person claims to
be in this spiritual walk,
00:17:49.37\00:17:53.13
listen to what they're
saying and you will know.
00:17:53.14\00:17:56.05
Because that is the
heart of the mind speaking.
00:17:56.06\00:17:59.32
Now you know, medicine,
00:17:59.33\00:18:00.78
we medical doctors can
make things quite complex, amen.
00:18:00.79\00:18:04.91
Sometimes when you
come to our office,
00:18:04.92\00:18:06.74
it's like we're
speaking another language.
00:18:06.75\00:18:09.51
Am I telling the truth?
00:18:09.52\00:18:10.76
We start rolling
these words that you--
00:18:10.77\00:18:12.47
And you're like. I
mean, you know, I'm a man.
00:18:12.48\00:18:14.41
I'm not gonna admit that
00:18:14.42\00:18:15.59
I don't
understand what he just said,
00:18:15.60\00:18:16.99
I'm a man, I'm
gonna sit here and,
00:18:17.00\00:18:18.50
you know, play it
like I understand.
00:18:18.51\00:18:20.68
So we may listen to
everything they say,
00:18:20.69\00:18:22.23
but we're saying,
what did he just say?
00:18:22.24\00:18:24.39
It's a foreign language.
00:18:24.40\00:18:25.48
So we're gonna break it down
00:18:25.49\00:18:26.57
the way that you
can understand today,
00:18:26.58\00:18:28.10
we're gonna break the brain
00:18:28.11\00:18:29.10
into five different categories.
00:18:29.11\00:18:31.45
Okay, and we're gonna see
that all of us fit in here
00:18:31.46\00:18:35.03
somewhere if not now we have it
00:18:35.04\00:18:37.74
sometime in our lives.
00:18:37.75\00:18:39.66
Forgetful is one word,
nervous is another word,
00:18:39.67\00:18:44.25
easily
distracted is another word,
00:18:44.26\00:18:46.53
feeling blue is
another category,
00:18:46.54\00:18:48.57
and fear, trouble sleeping.
00:18:48.58\00:18:50.50
Now, medical science has
some big words for these terms,
00:18:50.51\00:18:53.85
or some words that
may not sound anything
00:18:53.86\00:18:55.62
like these easy words.
00:18:55.63\00:18:57.16
What would
forgetful be, anybody know?
00:18:57.17\00:18:58.97
Dementia, dementia.
00:19:02.04\00:19:04.45
Now if someone
calls you demented,
00:19:04.46\00:19:06.08
are they complimenting you?
00:19:06.09\00:19:08.30
Oh no, that is not a compliment.
00:19:08.31\00:19:10.12
If I walk up to this
brother and you said,
00:19:10.13\00:19:11.28
brother, you're
looking really demented today,
00:19:11.29\00:19:13.69
I don't think he will be
real happy with me, amen.
00:19:13.70\00:19:16.38
Because it's not a compliment.
00:19:16.39\00:19:17.61
What about the word nervous,
00:19:17.62\00:19:18.71
what type of word
do we use in that,
00:19:18.72\00:19:20.25
for that in medicine? "Anxiety."
00:19:20.26\00:19:24.29
You ever heard the term anxiety,
00:19:24.30\00:19:25.74
neurosis, panic
attacks, things like that.
00:19:25.75\00:19:28.73
These are nervous people.
00:19:28.74\00:19:29.99
What about the
words easily distracted?
00:19:30.00\00:19:32.02
What reference could that be to?
00:19:32.03\00:19:34.93
Attention deficit.
00:19:34.94\00:19:36.97
And as we know,
00:19:36.98\00:19:38.44
that has exploded
in this country, amen.
00:19:38.45\00:19:41.66
It is exploded, we
have seen a trend in ADD
00:19:41.67\00:19:46.19
go up linearly just like this.
00:19:46.20\00:19:48.43
Why, why do we go to schools now
00:19:48.44\00:19:50.97
and the teachers have classrooms
00:19:50.98\00:19:52.97
with drawers full of medication.
00:19:52.98\00:19:56.14
Something is
missing, something is wrong.
00:19:56.15\00:19:59.17
The next category, feeling blue.
00:19:59.18\00:20:01.54
What word could we be
using for that in medicine?
00:20:01.55\00:20:04.27
Depression, very good.
00:20:04.28\00:20:05.87
And what about
trouble sleeping? Insomnia.
00:20:05.88\00:20:09.68
You graduated
from medical school.
00:20:09.69\00:20:11.61
Have mercy! That's good.
00:20:11.62\00:20:13.48
Now we're gonna use some words
00:20:13.49\00:20:15.04
that I'm gonna try to
breakdown to English for you.
00:20:15.05\00:20:17.80
Because, you
know, the Bible says
00:20:17.81\00:20:19.20
in Proverbs 4:7, "That wisdom
is the principle thing, amen."
00:20:19.21\00:20:23.25
Brothers, do you believe
that wisdom is principle.
00:20:23.26\00:20:26.03
Wisdom is the principle
thing, therefore get wisdom,
00:20:26.04\00:20:29.84
but with all thy
getting, get understanding.
00:20:29.85\00:20:34.22
If we understand that man
has tagged these categories
00:20:34.23\00:20:38.56
as something's wrong with you,
00:20:38.57\00:20:41.13
you know, you're just
not cut for this life.
00:20:41.14\00:20:44.33
You're just messed up.
00:20:44.34\00:20:46.40
If we would see
that God has a blessing
00:20:46.41\00:20:49.67
in each one of
these categories for us,
00:20:49.68\00:20:52.28
if we would but find it.
00:20:52.29\00:20:53.94
If we would find that peril,
00:20:53.95\00:20:55.86
that's what he wants us to do.
00:20:55.87\00:20:57.79
So let's get an understanding
of how the brain works?
00:20:57.80\00:21:00.27
The first
category, forgetfulness
00:21:00.28\00:21:02.74
there involves a
chemical called acetylcholine.
00:21:02.75\00:21:06.20
The second one
involves a balance
00:21:06.21\00:21:09.14
between two things
called GABA and glutamate.
00:21:09.15\00:21:11.97
The next one involves a balance
00:21:11.98\00:21:14.49
between
catecholamine and dopamine.
00:21:14.50\00:21:17.60
Now don't worry, gentlemen,
00:21:17.61\00:21:18.61
you don't have to
memorize these words.
00:21:18.62\00:21:21.42
The next category, feeling blue,
00:21:21.43\00:21:23.15
Cortisol and serotonin
00:21:23.16\00:21:24.79
and the last category melatonin.
00:21:24.80\00:21:28.50
Now you all probably heard
of some of these things before,
00:21:28.51\00:21:31.09
but we're gonna go
into some detail on that.
00:21:31.10\00:21:33.48
I'll try not to
keep it way up here,
00:21:33.49\00:21:35.33
but we'll try to keep it real
00:21:35.34\00:21:37.09
at a level that
you can understand.
00:21:37.10\00:21:38.31
Next slide please.
00:21:38.32\00:21:40.44
Now we will see,
if I ask you to guess,
00:21:40.45\00:21:44.86
which of these categories.
00:21:44.87\00:21:45.94
Now some of you
all-- How many of you
00:21:45.95\00:21:47.46
have ever heard me speak before?
00:21:47.47\00:21:48.70
Raise your hands.
00:21:48.71\00:21:49.95
Okay, those people probably
00:21:49.96\00:21:52.18
should have warned you about me.
00:21:52.19\00:21:54.13
But if you had to guess
00:21:54.14\00:21:55.29
which of these
categories I was in,
00:21:55.30\00:21:56.81
which would you have guessed?
00:21:56.82\00:21:59.40
Would you have guessed that one?
00:21:59.41\00:22:01.56
If we were back in the old days,
00:22:01.57\00:22:04.62
back when I was a
kid many years ago,
00:22:04.63\00:22:06.81
I would have been
diagnosed with ADD.
00:22:06.82\00:22:10.38
Now is that a curse
or is it a blessing.
00:22:10.39\00:22:12.98
It's actually a
personality type,
00:22:12.99\00:22:15.33
that Satan has let
us attack our children
00:22:15.34\00:22:18.35
and many adults
as if it is a curse.
00:22:18.36\00:22:22.14
You're gonna learn
today that these people
00:22:22.15\00:22:24.28
are some of the most
blessed people on the planet
00:22:24.29\00:22:27.36
when they are in balance, amen.
00:22:27.37\00:22:30.19
Let's look at
addiction tendencies.
00:22:30.20\00:22:31.55
I'm not gonna read
through this whole slide,
00:22:31.56\00:22:33.60
but I want you to see
that certain brain chemicals
00:22:33.61\00:22:36.30
when they are out of balance
00:22:36.31\00:22:37.89
can lead to certain addictions.
00:22:37.90\00:22:40.80
Some of these
addictions are known
00:22:40.81\00:22:43.11
and very unhealthy things
and some of these addictions
00:22:43.12\00:22:46.70
are actually
things that we want to be
00:22:46.71\00:22:49.70
a far away from, amen.
00:22:49.71\00:22:52.52
Just look at
them, now most of you
00:22:52.53\00:22:54.32
all probably know
from the last slide,
00:22:54.33\00:22:56.86
what category you fall into
00:22:56.87\00:22:58.62
or have fallen into at
some point in your life.
00:22:58.63\00:23:00.82
So, I'm gonna
ask you to be honest.
00:23:00.83\00:23:02.45
If you saw out of
those five categories
00:23:02.46\00:23:05.23
something that is currently you
00:23:05.24\00:23:07.09
or has been you in the
past, please raise your hand,
00:23:07.10\00:23:09.55
raise your hand,
raise them high, fellows.
00:23:09.56\00:23:12.15
Look around the room,
00:23:12.16\00:23:13.37
all of us, all of us
have been out of balance
00:23:13.38\00:23:16.47
at some point in our
lives and the rest of us
00:23:16.48\00:23:18.96
are probably just too
much of a man to admit it.
00:23:18.97\00:23:22.32
Next slide please.
00:23:22.33\00:23:23.79
The benefits of acetylcholine,
00:23:23.80\00:23:25.97
these people take pleasure
in anything involving words,
00:23:25.98\00:23:29.87
ideas, they're
very good communicators
00:23:29.88\00:23:32.94
and they're sociable.
00:23:32.95\00:23:34.81
These people are ideal
people to become counselors,
00:23:34.82\00:23:37.57
religious leaders, mediators,
00:23:37.58\00:23:40.14
yoga instructors,
public service organization,
00:23:40.15\00:23:43.65
artists, actors, writers,
00:23:43.66\00:23:45.55
you need a good memory
00:23:45.56\00:23:47.08
for these types
of professions, amen.
00:23:47.09\00:23:49.59
Would you want somebody,
00:23:49.60\00:23:50.75
let's say that
you were involved in
00:23:50.76\00:23:52.32
some type of dispute
with a job or labor union,
00:23:52.33\00:23:55.94
whatever and there's someone
00:23:55.95\00:23:58.19
they're standing
in court with you
00:23:58.20\00:24:00.51
whose the mediator?
00:24:00.52\00:24:02.99
Let's even think of
Jesus as being our mediator.
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.97
If you came
there before the judge
00:24:05.98\00:24:08.31
or before our Heavenly Father,
00:24:08.32\00:24:10.12
and the mediator
turned to you and said,
00:24:10.13\00:24:12.09
by the way, what's your name?
00:24:12.10\00:24:15.18
Why are you
here? I don't remember.
00:24:15.19\00:24:17.72
Would you have
an issue with that?
00:24:17.73\00:24:19.99
Our memory is
important, is it not?
00:24:20.00\00:24:22.18
One of the
things that our memory
00:24:22.19\00:24:23.47
is really important regarding is
00:24:23.48\00:24:25.90
being able to refrain from sin.
00:24:25.91\00:24:29.00
Thy word have I hid
in my heart, finish it.
00:24:29.01\00:24:34.88
That I might not
sin against thee.
00:24:34.89\00:24:36.56
Memory is so
important. Next slide.
00:24:36.57\00:24:38.42
Now we need to talk about
00:24:38.43\00:24:39.65
some things that we are
ingesting on a regular basis
00:24:39.66\00:24:41.63
and we don't even realize
00:24:41.64\00:24:43.53
that it's setting
our brain on fire,
00:24:43.54\00:24:46.08
that it's creating inflammation.
00:24:46.09\00:24:47.43
How many of you
would ever eaten something
00:24:47.44\00:24:49.00
that are on the label,
those of you that read labels,
00:24:49.01\00:24:51.55
that says natural
flavoring, raise your hand.
00:24:51.56\00:24:53.93
Okay, how many of you
00:24:53.94\00:24:55.95
in your lifetime have
ever ingested NutraSweet.
00:24:55.96\00:25:00.60
How many of you all
have ever seen something
00:25:00.61\00:25:02.44
that says hydrolyzed
vegetable protein on label.
00:25:02.45\00:25:06.92
All of these things
contain excitotoxins.
00:25:06.93\00:25:11.17
We've heard of the
word MSG before, amen.
00:25:11.18\00:25:14.79
MSG is an excitotoxin.
00:25:14.80\00:25:17.06
So what's wrong
with excitotoxins.
00:25:17.07\00:25:19.52
They'll excite me,
they'll excite you all right.
00:25:19.53\00:25:21.67
They will set
your brain on fire.
00:25:21.68\00:25:23.45
Excitotoxins kill brain
cells within 18 to 24 hours.
00:25:23.46\00:25:31.04
Kills them. Fries
them, destroys them.
00:25:31.05\00:25:36.53
Now, gentlemen, I
don't know about you,
00:25:36.54\00:25:38.51
but I want to hold on to
all the brain cells I can, amen.
00:25:38.52\00:25:42.37
We should not be
willingly just saying okay
00:25:42.38\00:25:45.00
well, I'm going
to eat this thing,
00:25:45.01\00:25:47.31
I mean we've been eating stuff
00:25:47.32\00:25:48.60
since the garden
getting us in trouble, amen.
00:25:48.61\00:25:51.77
The first thing involved what?
00:25:51.78\00:25:54.52
Food, amen.
00:25:54.53\00:25:58.50
So we really, really,
really, really have to be aware
00:25:58.51\00:26:00.67
of what these
things are doing to us.
00:26:00.68\00:26:02.00
Let's talk about Cortisol.
00:26:02.01\00:26:04.09
We've heard about Cortisol
00:26:04.10\00:26:05.37
because it's the hormone
that's related to stress.
00:26:05.38\00:26:10.64
We see commercials now
they talk about the Cortisol,
00:26:10.65\00:26:13.03
belly, and all these
different types of things.
00:26:13.04\00:26:15.09
Cortisol is a very,
very, very important hormone.
00:26:15.10\00:26:18.06
But did you know
that elevated Cortisol
00:26:18.07\00:26:21.06
will destroy your memory.
00:26:21.07\00:26:25.47
Did you know that Cortisol
00:26:25.48\00:26:27.78
will destroy the
part of the brain
00:26:27.79\00:26:29.23
and helps you
to learn new facts?
00:26:29.24\00:26:31.59
Did you know that
Cortisol is a neurotoxin
00:26:31.60\00:26:35.43
just like the excitotoxins.
00:26:35.44\00:26:37.37
But you would say, doc,
didn't God make Cortisol?
00:26:37.38\00:26:41.38
Yes, he did, but
did he ever mean for us
00:26:41.39\00:26:43.86
to be under as much
stress as we are right now.
00:26:43.87\00:26:47.93
What do you think?
00:26:47.94\00:26:50.29
I'll give you a scenario.
00:26:50.30\00:26:51.98
There is a zebra
00:26:51.99\00:26:54.76
who's hanging out in
the prairies of Africa
00:26:54.77\00:26:57.75
and he's just having a good time
00:26:57.76\00:26:59.67
munching on the
grass, just chilling.
00:26:59.68\00:27:03.10
He hears a noise and he looks up
00:27:03.11\00:27:05.50
and there's a
lion charging at him.
00:27:05.51\00:27:08.74
Brothers, is he stressed?
00:27:08.75\00:27:11.11
To the max, to the
max, what has to happen now.
00:27:11.12\00:27:16.74
He must run, he must run,
00:27:16.75\00:27:19.14
you think those stress hormones
00:27:19.15\00:27:20.14
are kicking in right now.
00:27:20.15\00:27:21.74
You ever had to go up
in front of crowd of people
00:27:21.75\00:27:23.85
or do something that
you're not comfortable with
00:27:23.86\00:27:25.79
and you feel your heart
drop down into your stomach
00:27:25.80\00:27:28.76
and you get
shaky and all these--
00:27:28.77\00:27:30.70
those are the stress
hormones being released.
00:27:30.71\00:27:33.75
Someone makes you so
angry that you just get flushed,
00:27:33.76\00:27:36.76
those are the stress
hormones being released.
00:27:36.77\00:27:38.91
You are actually
recirculating things
00:27:38.92\00:27:40.98
to different parts of the body.
00:27:40.99\00:27:43.08
When the zebra is
running from the lion,
00:27:43.09\00:27:47.32
digestion is
not important, amen.
00:27:47.33\00:27:51.00
The blood is now routed
from the intestine to the limbs
00:27:51.01\00:27:54.21
to make them strong.
00:27:54.22\00:27:56.36
When the zebra has to see where
00:27:56.37\00:27:58.86
it's going the
pupils are dilating.
00:27:58.87\00:28:00.82
It is not now concentrating
on I wonder if me and my spouse
00:28:00.83\00:28:04.07
will be mating
this evening, amen.
00:28:04.08\00:28:07.26
So stress starts
destroying all of this stuff
00:28:07.27\00:28:10.00
because the priority
is dealing with stress,
00:28:10.01\00:28:12.16
but guess what,
we're too stressed today.
00:28:12.17\00:28:15.18
So, with the
zebra it would have been
00:28:15.19\00:28:16.85
over in a few minutes, amen.
00:28:16.86\00:28:19.07
It would have been
over in a few minutes
00:28:19.08\00:28:20.70
one way or the other.
00:28:20.71\00:28:23.38
What do I mean by that?
00:28:23.39\00:28:25.18
Either in a few
minutes he got away
00:28:25.19\00:28:27.44
or he became lunch, amen.
00:28:27.45\00:28:29.42
But either way
the Cortisol levels
00:28:29.43\00:28:31.19
are now able to calm down
because the event is over.
00:28:31.20\00:28:34.62
But gentlemen,
we're walking around
00:28:34.63\00:28:35.69
with elevated
Cortisol levels all the time.
00:28:35.70\00:28:38.70
Do you believe
that, we're very stressed?
00:28:38.71\00:28:41.93
Let's talk about
one particular area
00:28:41.94\00:28:43.26
of the brain the hippocampus.
00:28:43.27\00:28:44.71
The hippocampus is
the part of the brain
00:28:44.72\00:28:47.36
that is important
for learning and memory
00:28:47.37\00:28:49.89
and what you're gonna learn key
00:28:49.90\00:28:51.60
about this
hippocampus today is something
00:28:51.61\00:28:53.86
that they don't teach us
00:28:53.87\00:28:55.19
and something that the
devil does not want us to know.
00:28:55.20\00:28:59.20
He does not want
us to understand this
00:28:59.21\00:29:01.58
because we will found out
00:29:01.59\00:29:02.62
that we have
unlimited power in God,
00:29:02.63\00:29:04.99
if we learn this.
Next slide please.
00:29:05.00\00:29:08.19
The hippocampus if
we go on this slide
00:29:08.20\00:29:10.35
and we see that
hippocampus is located
00:29:10.36\00:29:15.10
on the underside of the brain
00:29:15.11\00:29:16.43
and this arrow will show you
00:29:16.44\00:29:18.06
that it is a very small area
00:29:18.07\00:29:20.45
in comparison to
the entire brain.
00:29:20.46\00:29:22.77
There's another area
there called the amygdala
00:29:22.78\00:29:25.06
that's in close relation to it,
00:29:25.07\00:29:26.37
you just see the
arrow pointing to it,
00:29:26.38\00:29:27.98
but the hippocampus
itself is not a big area.
00:29:27.99\00:29:30.97
Now when you
think about the fact
00:29:30.98\00:29:32.72
that all of the
data, all of the things
00:29:32.73\00:29:35.67
that you have
experienced in your life
00:29:35.68\00:29:37.52
are stored in that
brain, is stored in the brain.
00:29:37.53\00:29:42.27
Your brain is greater
than any super computer
00:29:42.28\00:29:45.42
that they could ever build.
00:29:45.43\00:29:46.72
You think we can build
something better than God.
00:29:46.73\00:29:49.45
No way, no way.
00:29:49.46\00:29:51.50
The hippocampus, I
want you to pay attention
00:29:51.51\00:29:53.28
to the yellow
words on this slide
00:29:53.29\00:29:55.21
and listen to the hippocampus.
00:29:55.22\00:29:56.79
The hippocampus is also the area
00:29:56.80\00:29:59.72
where most of the neurons
that are involved in memory
00:29:59.73\00:30:05.16
are regenerated
throughout the entire lifetime.
00:30:05.17\00:30:10.24
What's the key word
in there? Regenerated.
00:30:12.01\00:30:17.82
Are we not lead to believe that,
00:30:17.83\00:30:19.86
oh as I get old I'm just
not suppose to remember stuff
00:30:19.87\00:30:22.96
like I used to.
00:30:22.97\00:30:24.98
Isn't that what we talk?
00:30:24.99\00:30:26.03
Oh, I'm just old and
forgetful may be I'm--
00:30:26.04\00:30:28.44
We make jokes about it,
00:30:28.45\00:30:29.91
oh may be I'm
getting the Alzheimer's.
00:30:29.92\00:30:32.39
Do you know that's what
the enemy wants you to believe.
00:30:32.40\00:30:35.11
Do you know he
want you to believe that
00:30:35.12\00:30:36.72
you cannot
remember the word of God
00:30:36.73\00:30:38.58
like you used to.
00:30:38.59\00:30:40.69
Do you know that
you have the ability
00:30:40.70\00:30:42.96
to regenerate that memory for
the rest of your natural life?
00:30:42.97\00:30:47.63
Not only that,
but the hippocampus
00:30:47.64\00:30:49.63
is also involved
in brain plasticity.
00:30:49.64\00:30:53.87
What do you I
mean by plasticity?
00:30:53.88\00:30:55.94
Right, flexible.
00:30:57.46\00:30:59.27
That means your brain has gear.
00:30:59.28\00:31:01.19
Now you know we,
especially as men
00:31:01.20\00:31:02.63
can be very rigid, amen.
00:31:02.64\00:31:05.37
Are there not times
that our significant
00:31:05.38\00:31:08.10
other may even be
right about something
00:31:08.11\00:31:10.13
and we're not gonna admit it.
00:31:10.14\00:31:12.60
Because I'm a man,
I'm standing my ground.
00:31:12.61\00:31:16.21
Or there are times when
the Holy Spirit speaks to us
00:31:16.22\00:31:18.86
and we know, we know, I
got one brother busting up,
00:31:18.87\00:31:23.46
I must have really
touched a nerve with him.
00:31:23.47\00:31:25.31
We know that we are too rigid,
00:31:25.32\00:31:30.47
we know that the Holy
Spirit is dealing with us
00:31:30.48\00:31:32.50
on a certain area that
we know we need to change,
00:31:32.51\00:31:34.99
but our brains are too
rigid, our minds are too rigid.
00:31:35.00\00:31:39.87
The Bible has a
particular word for that
00:31:39.88\00:31:42.06
and he referred
it to as the Pharaoh
00:31:42.07\00:31:44.07
and the Israelites.
00:31:44.08\00:31:45.48
Many times using this
word, we're stiff necked.
00:31:45.49\00:31:48.99
Brothers are we
stiff neck sometimes, amen.
00:31:49.00\00:31:52.20
So, if we look at
this diagram of the brain
00:31:52.21\00:31:54.31
in a 27 year old
and an 87 year old,
00:31:54.32\00:31:58.79
you'll see in that 87
year old that's on your left,
00:31:58.80\00:32:02.93
that there's a big space,
00:32:02.94\00:32:05.12
black space around
that hippocampus area
00:32:05.13\00:32:08.07
because that
hippocampus has degenerated.
00:32:08.08\00:32:10.82
Do you think this
gentleman has a good memory?
00:32:10.83\00:32:13.43
No, he does not,
00:32:13.44\00:32:14.88
but the
question I ask you today,
00:32:14.89\00:32:16.62
after what you've learned
is, does this have to happen.
00:32:16.63\00:32:20.47
No it is not.
00:32:20.48\00:32:22.39
It's a choice,
it's a choice, amen.
00:32:22.40\00:32:28.14
It's a choice.
00:32:28.15\00:32:29.46
Next slide please.
00:32:29.47\00:32:31.42
Good news, we don't
have to become demented.
00:32:31.43\00:32:34.08
We hear them talk
about all the time
00:32:34.09\00:32:35.72
we hear about all the
essential fatty acids,
00:32:35.73\00:32:38.05
omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids,
00:32:38.06\00:32:40.24
get it from
fish, fish, fish, fish.
00:32:40.25\00:32:42.85
Do we hear that?
00:32:42.86\00:32:43.93
As some people that are
trying to be vegetarians
00:32:43.94\00:32:46.39
because the
vegetarian diet has been proven
00:32:46.40\00:32:48.54
over and over and over
again to be the healthiest diet.
00:32:48.55\00:32:51.37
Oh, I got to get,
00:32:51.38\00:32:52.37
but I got to get my
omega 6 is very rich in fish,
00:32:52.38\00:32:55.43
sunflower
seeds, flaxseeds, amen.
00:32:55.44\00:32:59.55
They have the same omega 6
00:32:59.56\00:33:01.02
and omega 3 fatty acids in them.
00:33:01.03\00:33:04.32
It's much less expensive
and you won't get the mercury
00:33:04.33\00:33:07.23
that you do in the fish.
00:33:07.24\00:33:09.11
Also we need to address
insulin resistance issues,
00:33:09.12\00:33:12.30
when we talk about
insulin resistance,
00:33:12.31\00:33:14.00
we are in a society now
00:33:14.01\00:33:16.11
that is just
burdened with diabetes, amen.
00:33:16.12\00:33:19.77
Type 2 diabetes is rapid.
00:33:19.78\00:33:21.69
Do you realize that
00:33:21.70\00:33:22.69
between creation in
1980 in this country
00:33:22.70\00:33:25.87
about six million people
were diagnosed with diabetes.
00:33:25.88\00:33:29.92
And between 1980 and
2000 that number doubled.
00:33:29.93\00:33:35.38
It doubled.
00:33:37.58\00:33:39.36
These people are
insulin resistant people
00:33:39.37\00:33:41.33
because of the junk foods
00:33:41.34\00:33:43.19
they we're eating were
making too much insulin
00:33:43.20\00:33:45.50
and insulin has
been proven to be
00:33:45.51\00:33:47.84
a pro-inflammatory hormone.
00:33:47.85\00:33:50.82
Now let's break that word
up if your brain is on fire,
00:33:50.83\00:33:55.30
do you want something
00:33:55.31\00:33:56.72
that's going to
encourage inflammation.
00:33:56.73\00:33:58.49
Yeah, unless you
want to burn it up,
00:34:00.58\00:34:02.50
unless you want to
just told you get rid of it
00:34:02.51\00:34:04.60
and also on the
slide, it talks about
00:34:04.61\00:34:06.04
lowering Cortisol levels,
00:34:06.05\00:34:07.19
so it all comes back
to God's plan for help.
00:34:07.20\00:34:10.21
It all comes back doing
the right things for our body.
00:34:10.22\00:34:13.16
Next slide please.
00:34:13.17\00:34:15.03
Now, who is the person
00:34:15.04\00:34:16.57
that fits in this
acetylcholine profile?
00:34:16.58\00:34:19.80
Usually over 40 they feel that
00:34:19.81\00:34:21.37
their memory is not
sharp as it used to be,
00:34:21.38\00:34:22.92
they forget the
names of the people,
00:34:22.93\00:34:24.06
they might have a
family history of dementia,
00:34:24.07\00:34:26.14
they might have
a personal history
00:34:26.15\00:34:27.90
of head trauma,
00:34:27.91\00:34:29.08
and they can't learn new
things like they used to.
00:34:29.09\00:34:32.92
The Bible says
that when Moses died,
00:34:32.93\00:34:35.17
he was how old?
00:34:35.18\00:34:37.46
A 120 years old.
00:34:37.47\00:34:39.69
They said that
his eye was not dim,
00:34:39.70\00:34:41.87
nor had his
natural force abated.
00:34:41.88\00:34:43.85
Does it sound
like he degenerated.
00:34:43.86\00:34:46.00
Does it sound like
he had memory problems.
00:34:46.01\00:34:48.45
The Bible says that he
climb to the top of mount Nebo
00:34:48.46\00:34:52.09
at a 120 years old
to see the promised land
00:34:52.10\00:34:55.32
before he died.
00:34:55.33\00:34:56.74
Gentlemen, we ought
to have sharp brains
00:34:56.75\00:34:59.25
and sharp bodies no
matter what our age,
00:34:59.26\00:35:02.00
do you believe that? If
you believe that say amen.
00:35:02.01\00:35:04.71
All right. Let's go
to the next category.
00:35:04.72\00:35:07.21
Nervous. Next slide please.
00:35:07.22\00:35:10.80
When we look at
this glutamate and GABA
00:35:10.81\00:35:13.00
that have to be in balance.
00:35:13.01\00:35:14.18
When they're out of balance
you see certain symptoms.
00:35:14.19\00:35:16.27
The glutamate out of balance
can lead to chronic pain,
00:35:16.28\00:35:20.01
mood lability, mood
swinging back and forth,
00:35:20.02\00:35:22.70
mania, panic, and headaches.
00:35:22.71\00:35:24.97
And when the
GABA is out of balance
00:35:24.98\00:35:26.33
it can lead to anxiety,
depression, restlessness,
00:35:26.34\00:35:30.10
and sleep disturbances.
So God is a God of balance.
00:35:30.11\00:35:35.18
People with this GABA imbalances
00:35:35.19\00:35:37.85
actually comprises about
50% of the world's population.
00:35:37.86\00:35:42.40
I want you to look
at this, 50% share this.
00:35:42.41\00:35:45.23
They are the most
dependable people.
00:35:45.24\00:35:47.57
Now tell me if these are people
00:35:47.58\00:35:48.85
that you want to be
involved in your life,
00:35:48.86\00:35:51.01
the dependable
people, the consisted people,
00:35:51.02\00:35:53.96
the people that
have sociability,
00:35:53.97\00:35:55.99
the people that are
concerned for others,
00:35:56.00\00:35:58.44
the people who are organized.
00:35:58.45\00:36:02.24
Dependable people are
those the type of people
00:36:02.25\00:36:04.62
that we want to be
involved in our lives,
00:36:04.63\00:36:07.06
are those the type
of people we want to be.
00:36:07.07\00:36:09.58
These are the type
of people that have
00:36:09.59\00:36:11.17
an affinity for professions
00:36:11.18\00:36:12.35
like
administrators, accountants,
00:36:12.36\00:36:14.32
security officers,
nurses, technicians, homemakers,
00:36:14.33\00:36:19.20
and these people
should avoid alcohol
00:36:19.21\00:36:20.64
and marijuana. Guess what?
00:36:20.65\00:36:21.64
We all should avoid
alcohol and marijuana, amen.
00:36:21.65\00:36:25.45
Should get plenty of exercise.
00:36:25.46\00:36:27.19
Runners, a lot of
runners, you see people that,
00:36:27.20\00:36:29.56
all of us have seen
people, it doesn't matter rain,
00:36:29.57\00:36:32.55
sleep, snow, it doesn't matter.
00:36:32.56\00:36:35.30
They're out there running.
00:36:35.31\00:36:36.59
These people actually
get a high from running.
00:36:36.60\00:36:39.41
We can actually
balance certain hormones
00:36:39.42\00:36:41.71
that may be
efficient by getting exercise.
00:36:41.72\00:36:43.97
Next slide please.
00:36:43.98\00:36:45.57
Glutamate, when
it's out of balance
00:36:45.58\00:36:47.05
we can actually see
neurological problems
00:36:47.06\00:36:48.83
like seizures,
like migraine headaches,
00:36:48.84\00:36:51.47
Neuropathic pain,
Parkinson's disease,
00:36:51.48\00:36:54.01
ALS, Alzheimer's,
psychiatric problems
00:36:54.02\00:36:57.63
like bipolar
disease, schizophrenia,
00:36:57.64\00:37:00.16
we talked earlier
about the brain being
00:37:00.17\00:37:02.73
on fire in schizophrenias,
00:37:02.74\00:37:05.17
post traumatic stress disorder,
00:37:05.18\00:37:07.05
refractory depression,
you try to treat these people
00:37:07.06\00:37:10.11
when the depression
is refractory, autism.
00:37:10.12\00:37:13.16
Now we know that
everything today is treated
00:37:13.17\00:37:17.19
as if it's a
drug deficiency, amen.
00:37:17.20\00:37:20.85
You all have
heard of the condition.
00:37:20.86\00:37:22.41
I'm gonna to use
the big word first
00:37:22.42\00:37:23.75
and then I'm gonna to
translate it to English.
00:37:23.76\00:37:25.42
Hyperlipidemia,
high cholesterol, amen.
00:37:25.43\00:37:29.95
How many people
have heard of that?
00:37:29.96\00:37:31.30
High cholesterol,
high triglycerides.
00:37:31.31\00:37:33.33
And we're told that these things
00:37:33.34\00:37:34.46
led to heart attacks and
this and that than any other,
00:37:34.47\00:37:37.12
but we treat hyperlipidemia
00:37:37.13\00:37:40.22
like it's a lipitor
deficiency disease, amen.
00:37:40.23\00:37:43.94
We treat cancer like it's a
00:37:43.95\00:37:45.44
radiation
deficiency disease, right.
00:37:45.45\00:37:47.76
We treat allergies like they're
00:37:47.77\00:37:49.16
Claritin deficiency disease.
00:37:49.17\00:37:51.51
Everything is treated as
if it's a drug deficiency,
00:37:51.52\00:37:54.58
the devil has pushed us
into be a pill taking society
00:37:54.59\00:37:59.13
rather than a lifestyle
modifying society, amen.
00:37:59.14\00:38:04.56
There are certain vitamins,
00:38:04.57\00:38:05.81
B vitamins they found that B6,
00:38:05.82\00:38:08.59
the pyridoxine deficiency
00:38:08.60\00:38:10.72
will actually lower
the seizure threshold.
00:38:10.73\00:38:13.43
People that have
this deficiency are more
00:38:13.44\00:38:15.24
likely to have seizures.
00:38:15.25\00:38:16.74
People that are on
birth control pills
00:38:16.75\00:38:18.84
can develop this
deficiency very quickly.
00:38:18.85\00:38:20.98
So many of the
medications that we're taking
00:38:20.99\00:38:23.16
actually eating up other things
00:38:23.17\00:38:24.82
in the body and in the brain.
00:38:24.83\00:38:28.23
Next slide please.
00:38:28.24\00:38:29.91
So who benefits from this GABA
00:38:29.92\00:38:31.95
and glutamate being imbalanced,
00:38:31.96\00:38:34.46
the people who frequently feel
irritable or women with PMS,
00:38:34.47\00:38:38.27
or child who has tantrums
00:38:38.28\00:38:39.70
and adult with
explosive behavior,
00:38:39.71\00:38:42.28
temper problems,
people that have migraines,
00:38:42.29\00:38:45.22
people that have mood swings,
00:38:45.23\00:38:47.26
people that
have anxiety attacks,
00:38:47.27\00:38:49.77
and people that have
a history of physical
00:38:49.78\00:38:51.81
or emotional trauma.
00:38:51.82\00:38:53.61
Many times
people's brain hormones
00:38:53.62\00:38:56.83
are out of balance,
00:38:56.84\00:38:57.85
because they've
been through something.
00:38:57.86\00:39:00.02
We never know what
people have been through, amen.
00:39:00.03\00:39:02.77
We never know, we see
the end result and assume,
00:39:02.78\00:39:06.67
try to assume we know what's
going on with these people,
00:39:06.68\00:39:08.83
but many times we don't.
00:39:08.84\00:39:10.22
Isaiah 26:3 says,
"Thou will keep him
00:39:10.23\00:39:12.98
in perfect peace whose what,
00:39:12.99\00:39:15.62
whose mind is stayed on thee
00:39:15.63\00:39:17.99
because he
trusted in thee." amen.
00:39:18.00\00:39:22.65
So now let's go
to next category.
00:39:22.66\00:39:24.46
Easily distracted,
those darned ADD people.
00:39:24.47\00:39:28.83
Now there are two
different chemicals
00:39:28.84\00:39:31.05
that can be out of balance.
00:39:31.06\00:39:32.15
Norepinephrine, or dopamine.
00:39:32.16\00:39:34.67
And whether
you're talking about ADD,
00:39:34.68\00:39:36.65
Attention Deficit Disorder
00:39:36.66\00:39:38.01
or Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder,
00:39:38.02\00:39:41.81
you can see anxiety associated
with the panic attacks,
00:39:41.82\00:39:44.47
you can see depression, fatigue,
00:39:44.48\00:39:46.31
concentration
difficulties, low motivation,
00:39:46.32\00:39:48.67
depression, substance abuse,
00:39:48.68\00:39:50.46
diminished libido,
Parkinson's, sleep problems,
00:39:50.47\00:39:53.15
these people can have
all sorts of problems.
00:39:53.16\00:39:55.84
Next slide please.
00:39:55.85\00:39:56.89
And here, I'm not
even go through them all,
00:39:56.90\00:39:59.05
you see a whole
laundry list of things
00:39:59.06\00:40:01.82
that can exist in these people
00:40:01.83\00:40:03.86
that have been diagnosed
as being easily distracted.
00:40:03.87\00:40:08.26
Now, I want you
to look at this slide
00:40:08.27\00:40:10.92
and say, let me
look at this thing
00:40:10.93\00:40:13.57
and see what would be
00:40:13.58\00:40:14.73
the exact opposite of this name.
00:40:14.74\00:40:17.98
If a person goes
from easily distracted
00:40:17.99\00:40:20.55
to being the most focused person
00:40:20.56\00:40:22.46
that you know, if
they don't have mood swings
00:40:22.47\00:40:25.53
will they become extremely calm,
00:40:25.54\00:40:27.74
if they stop
performing poorly in school,
00:40:27.75\00:40:29.94
will they become
intellectual giants
00:40:29.95\00:40:32.86
like Albert Einstein,
00:40:32.87\00:40:34.45
like Henry Ford,
00:40:36.42\00:40:38.76
even Bill Clinton has ADD.
00:40:38.77\00:40:41.90
These very highly
successful people,
00:40:41.91\00:40:43.43
these people
are--even Forbes magazine stated
00:40:43.44\00:40:46.49
these people
are 300% more likely
00:40:46.50\00:40:50.16
to start their
own businesses. Why?
00:40:50.17\00:40:53.49
Because they
got a lot of energy,
00:40:53.50\00:40:54.72
they got a lot of drive.
00:40:54.73\00:40:56.00
But God needs it in balance.
00:40:56.01\00:40:58.69
Next slide please.
00:40:58.70\00:41:00.13
Dopamine imbalance,
they thrive on energy,
00:41:00.14\00:41:02.11
they're very
strong-willed people,
00:41:02.12\00:41:03.74
they know
exactly what they want.
00:41:03.75\00:41:07.29
They're interested in knowledge,
00:41:07.30\00:41:08.52
they're
interested in competition.
00:41:08.53\00:41:09.99
These people have the
tendency to become doctors,
00:41:10.00\00:41:12.47
scientists, researchers,
inventors, engineers,
00:41:12.48\00:41:14.92
generals, architects.
00:41:14.93\00:41:17.56
So things that
we've been talking,
00:41:17.57\00:41:21.21
wow, these people
are messed up people.
00:41:21.22\00:41:24.00
They're just all messed up.
00:41:24.01\00:41:25.76
These can be some of the most
00:41:25.77\00:41:27.53
highly successful
people in the world
00:41:27.54\00:41:29.88
if they would do the right thing
00:41:29.89\00:41:31.85
with that personality that
God has blessed them with, amen.
00:41:31.86\00:41:36.37
So there's a workup.
00:41:36.38\00:41:38.00
We found that
people that have ADD,
00:41:38.01\00:41:40.89
and you won't
get this checked too
00:41:40.90\00:41:42.48
often in conventional medicine
00:41:42.49\00:41:43.69
and it's not our doctor's fault
00:41:43.70\00:41:45.21
we're not trained in this way.
00:41:45.22\00:41:46.82
But many of these people
00:41:46.83\00:41:48.44
are suffering from
heavy metal poison,
00:41:48.45\00:41:51.13
that should be checked.
00:41:51.14\00:41:52.13
Thyroid function
should be tested,
00:41:52.14\00:41:53.98
their iron levels,
their lipid profiles,
00:41:53.99\00:41:55.95
are they getting enough
the essential fatty acids,
00:41:55.96\00:41:57.90
do they have all sensitivities.
00:41:57.91\00:42:00.35
What are the levels
of certain minerals,
00:42:00.36\00:42:03.00
all disease,
gentlemen, all disease
00:42:03.01\00:42:05.25
and I don't bite my
tongue when I say this.
00:42:05.26\00:42:08.59
All disease is from two
things and only two things.
00:42:08.60\00:42:12.32
I don't care if
it's called cancer,
00:42:12.33\00:42:14.34
fibromyalgia,
arthritis, diabetes, stroke,
00:42:14.35\00:42:18.36
I don't care what
the name of it is.
00:42:18.37\00:42:21.16
All disease is from two things.
00:42:21.17\00:42:23.47
Too many toxins, do
you believe we're toxic,
00:42:23.48\00:42:27.49
do you believe that we
live in a toxic world say, amen.
00:42:27.50\00:42:31.08
And too few nutrients.
00:42:31.09\00:42:34.30
We don't get enough nutrients
to offset these toxins,
00:42:34.31\00:42:37.24
Senate document number 264
00:42:37.25\00:42:40.27
at the 74th Congress
second session, 1936,
00:42:40.28\00:42:44.10
stated that our soil was
depleted of minerals then.
00:42:44.11\00:42:48.36
It's stated that our
stomachs are not big enough
00:42:48.37\00:42:50.54
to get all that minerals
that we should be getting,
00:42:50.55\00:42:52.70
so we really need
to be paying attention,
00:42:52.71\00:42:54.47
but this is why we're seeing
00:42:54.48\00:42:55.47
all of these
degenerative diseases.
00:42:55.48\00:42:58.51
Let's talk about
this EPA DHA thing again,
00:42:58.52\00:43:00.66
EPA DHA deficiency,
00:43:00.67\00:43:03.80
learning
disabilities have been linked
00:43:03.81\00:43:05.80
to not having enough of
these essential fatty acids.
00:43:05.81\00:43:08.53
Now to know that you can correct
00:43:08.54\00:43:10.51
the learning
disability by eating walnuts,
00:43:10.52\00:43:14.54
by eating flaxseeds, by
eating sunflower seeds, amen.
00:43:14.55\00:43:18.90
Instead of taking the
drug, reduced visual acuity
00:43:18.91\00:43:21.65
and visual tracking
increased aggression,
00:43:21.66\00:43:24.53
increased risk of
depressive disorders.
00:43:24.54\00:43:27.81
Deficiency is always
toxicity and deficiency.
00:43:27.82\00:43:30.87
Next slide please.
00:43:30.88\00:43:32.20
Treatment of
childhood depression,
00:43:32.21\00:43:33.97
omega 3 fatty acids may
have therapeutic benefits
00:43:33.98\00:43:37.56
in childhood depression.
00:43:37.57\00:43:38.85
This is what a
scientific study show.
00:43:38.86\00:43:41.05
Omega 3 fatty acids
may not benefit children,
00:43:41.06\00:43:44.40
they definitely
benefit children.
00:43:44.41\00:43:47.03
These are scientific facts,
00:43:47.04\00:43:49.02
the thing about science is
that true science will never,
00:43:49.03\00:43:53.29
I repeat, will never contradict
00:43:53.30\00:43:55.59
the word of God, amen.
00:43:55.60\00:43:58.17
Do you believe that?
It will never contradict.
00:43:58.18\00:44:00.10
Now man will take
science and pervert it
00:44:00.11\00:44:03.59
and try to make it into
something that it's not.
00:44:03.60\00:44:06.46
But true science will never
contradict the word of God.
00:44:06.47\00:44:09.60
Green tea, green tea
has actually been found
00:44:09.61\00:44:13.58
to augment brain dopamine levels
00:44:13.59\00:44:16.37
and reduce
plasma norepinephrine,
00:44:16.38\00:44:18.33
it brings about
balance in these people
00:44:18.34\00:44:20.00
that have this
so called disorder.
00:44:20.01\00:44:21.83
Next slide please.
00:44:21.84\00:44:23.01
Actually they
found that Theanine,
00:44:23.02\00:44:24.93
which is a
substance in green tea
00:44:24.94\00:44:26.76
that balances out the caffeine
00:44:26.77\00:44:28.76
a lot of people
won't drink green tea
00:44:28.77\00:44:29.91
because of the caffeine,
00:44:29.92\00:44:30.91
but God always
make his things complete
00:44:30.92\00:44:33.27
and the Theanine
has a calming affect
00:44:33.28\00:44:35.10
where the caffeine
is excited towards,
00:44:35.11\00:44:36.78
so they balance one another.
00:44:36.79\00:44:38.02
But they have
found that this influence
00:44:38.03\00:44:39.67
is more alpha
waves in the brain,
00:44:39.68\00:44:42.14
which will
cause more relaxation,
00:44:42.15\00:44:44.58
you can visualize better
and you become more creative.
00:44:44.59\00:44:48.53
God is quite the
pharmacist with the FARM, amen.
00:44:48.54\00:44:53.26
All right next one,
feeling blue, serotonin.
00:44:53.27\00:44:56.41
Serotonin is knows as
the happy hormone, amen.
00:44:56.42\00:45:00.62
People that have
serotonin levels,
00:45:00.63\00:45:02.25
these are the
kind of people you see,
00:45:02.26\00:45:03.53
what you know we
don't see anymore,
00:45:03.54\00:45:05.29
we don't see people
walking down the street,
00:45:05.30\00:45:06.73
you see just see
people whistling, just happy.
00:45:09.43\00:45:11.30
Do you see that much anymore?
00:45:11.31\00:45:13.08
Very, very rarely,
00:45:13.09\00:45:15.73
because so many of
us are out of balance.
00:45:15.74\00:45:18.71
But we don't have
homeostasis or balance,
00:45:18.72\00:45:21.14
we don't sleep well,
it can make our appetite,
00:45:21.15\00:45:24.16
we can have eat too much food,
00:45:24.17\00:45:26.04
to try to raise
our serotonin levels.
00:45:26.05\00:45:28.60
Gentlemen, you're
gonna see a slide later on,
00:45:28.61\00:45:30.34
it's gonna tell you
where most of the serotonin
00:45:30.35\00:45:31.91
in the body is.
00:45:31.92\00:45:33.17
Our mood is affected,
00:45:33.18\00:45:34.57
our social
engagement is affected,
00:45:34.58\00:45:38.01
we get depressed, anxious,
00:45:38.02\00:45:39.30
obsessive compulsive,
00:45:39.31\00:45:40.70
we're more sensitive to pain,
00:45:40.71\00:45:42.15
or aggressive we
have sleep disorder,
00:45:42.16\00:45:43.71
all these things can happen
00:45:43.72\00:45:45.23
when you don't have a
balance in the happy hormone.
00:45:45.24\00:45:47.75
Next slide please.
00:45:47.76\00:45:49.31
So, these people know
how to live in the moment.
00:45:49.32\00:45:51.30
They're impulsive,
they like to try new things,
00:45:51.31\00:45:53.41
they love to play play, play,
00:45:53.42\00:45:56.74
and they have good motor skills.
00:45:56.75\00:45:58.58
These types of people go
into things like athletics,
00:45:58.59\00:46:00.98
construction
workers, hair stylist,
00:46:00.99\00:46:02.90
computer programmers,
movie stars, photographers,
00:46:02.91\00:46:05.30
but we need to avoid
things like the PCBs,
00:46:05.31\00:46:07.66
pesticides,
plastics, mercury in fish.
00:46:07.67\00:46:10.43
Now did you know that
00:46:10.44\00:46:12.30
none of us can avoid
the toxins in our society?
00:46:12.31\00:46:15.20
They're
ubiquitous, they're everywhere.
00:46:15.21\00:46:18.04
The electricity,
that's generating
00:46:18.05\00:46:19.49
the lights in this place,
00:46:19.50\00:46:21.52
80% of electricity is
from the burning of coal.
00:46:21.53\00:46:26.13
Anybody know what the byproducts
00:46:26.14\00:46:27.43
of burning coal are?
00:46:27.44\00:46:29.77
Arsenic and mercury.
00:46:29.78\00:46:32.26
It's not just in the water,
it's not just in the fish,
00:46:32.27\00:46:33.98
it's in the air.
00:46:33.99\00:46:35.42
And some of us just
don't have the genetic ability
00:46:35.43\00:46:37.46
to clean these
things out as well.
00:46:37.47\00:46:38.96
I was found prior, I'm sorry,
00:46:38.97\00:46:42.09
I was found after
my cancer diagnosis
00:46:42.10\00:46:43.99
to have 10 heavy
metal poisonings.
00:46:44.00\00:46:48.29
Lead, mercury,
cadmium, antimony,
00:46:48.30\00:46:51.96
arsenic, and so on
00:46:51.97\00:46:53.09
and two of these
heavy metals are implicated
00:46:53.10\00:46:55.50
as causes of prostate cancer.
00:46:55.51\00:46:58.29
The Bible says in
the Book of Proverbs
00:46:58.30\00:46:59.97
of course, the curse
cause of this shall not come.
00:46:59.98\00:47:03.33
So let's look at other
things with serotonin imbalance
00:47:03.34\00:47:05.53
major depression,
00:47:05.54\00:47:06.53
post traumatic stress disorder,
00:47:06.54\00:47:08.31
panic attacks,
obsessive compulsive disorder,
00:47:08.32\00:47:10.91
autism, and schizophrenia.
00:47:10.92\00:47:13.15
These are all things that result
00:47:13.16\00:47:15.33
from serotonin
being out of balance.
00:47:15.34\00:47:16.96
So, how happy are you?
00:47:16.97\00:47:18.74
I know now that you've
heard of the hormone serotonin
00:47:18.75\00:47:21.67
where is most of it
located in the body,
00:47:21.68\00:47:23.79
does anyone know?
00:47:23.80\00:47:27.23
Most of the
serotonin in the body
00:47:27.24\00:47:29.69
is located in the
intestine, in the intestine.
00:47:29.70\00:47:36.50
I won't even make you wait
00:47:36.51\00:47:37.67
until the end of the
talk, it's in the intestine.
00:47:37.68\00:47:40.61
And this is what we
so link pleasure to food.
00:47:40.62\00:47:47.88
Now you all know
I'm telling the truth.
00:47:47.89\00:47:49.40
There are certain
foods that we, hmmm and then,
00:47:49.41\00:47:55.32
you know, when
the guys looks at us
00:47:55.33\00:47:57.16
and we'll say I'll
have what he's having, amen.
00:47:57.17\00:48:01.43
Now there are many
ways that we can measure
00:48:01.44\00:48:02.90
the serotonin Cortisol balance.
00:48:02.91\00:48:05.11
We can check
salivary levels of Cortisol.
00:48:05.12\00:48:08.18
We can check the
DHEA levels in the blood.
00:48:08.19\00:48:10.51
We can check vitamin D levels
00:48:10.52\00:48:12.10
and we can check
the levels of folic acid
00:48:12.11\00:48:14.47
in the red blood cells.
00:48:14.48\00:48:15.92
All of these
things have to do with us
00:48:15.93\00:48:18.12
having enough of the
good stuff in our bodies
00:48:18.13\00:48:22.66
and very small
amounts of the bad stuff
00:48:22.67\00:48:25.19
and if these things are
not in balance we're messed up.
00:48:25.20\00:48:27.86
Look at these things,
00:48:27.87\00:48:28.94
the activated
form of folic acid,
00:48:28.95\00:48:31.55
vitamin B12, DHEA, vitamin D
00:48:31.56\00:48:34.22
5-hydroxytryptophan,
St. John's Wort.
00:48:34.23\00:48:36.67
These are things that will
keep the serotonin in balance.
00:48:36.68\00:48:39.11
Next slide please.
00:48:39.12\00:48:40.84
Now, serotonin is
very, very important
00:48:40.85\00:48:45.01
and dependent upon a B
vitamin called folic acid.
00:48:45.02\00:48:49.32
Low folic acid can
cause depression alone.
00:48:49.33\00:48:54.02
Any vitamin or
mineral deficiency
00:48:54.03\00:48:55.95
in your body can cause
a physiological disorder.
00:48:55.96\00:48:59.16
Next slide please. Folic acid.
00:48:59.17\00:49:02.04
They have observed that
administration of this--
00:49:02.05\00:49:04.88
Now, get this,
administration of folic acid
00:49:04.89\00:49:08.80
with an SSRI,
00:49:08.81\00:49:10.70
which is a type of
medication antidepressant,
00:49:10.71\00:49:13.56
made the
antidepressant work better.
00:49:13.57\00:49:16.88
Hello, gentlemen,
what does that tell you.
00:49:16.89\00:49:21.83
Which would you take?
00:49:21.84\00:49:22.83
Would take them in combination
00:49:22.84\00:49:24.04
or would you take may
be just the folic acid.
00:49:24.05\00:49:28.93
Earlier today we
looked up the drug,
00:49:28.94\00:49:31.83
the
antidepressant called Zoloft.
00:49:31.84\00:49:34.30
Anybody here heard of Zoloft?
00:49:34.31\00:49:36.17
Very, very
popular antidepressant.
00:49:36.18\00:49:38.25
We looked up the two
most serious side effects
00:49:38.26\00:49:41.08
associated with Zoloft.
00:49:41.09\00:49:42.57
Do you know what they are?
00:49:42.58\00:49:44.47
Number one is suicidality.
00:49:44.48\00:49:48.99
Doctor, I feel better,
but I want to kill myself.
00:49:49.00\00:49:52.15
Number two is
worsening of your depression.
00:49:56.58\00:50:01.41
Anytime you put
a foreign substance
00:50:01.42\00:50:03.17
in the body to block, to block
00:50:03.18\00:50:06.63
the way the body is
normally supposed to work,
00:50:06.64\00:50:08.21
you're gonna have a problem.
00:50:08.22\00:50:09.25
Vitamin D has been
linked to mood disorders.
00:50:09.26\00:50:12.20
Vitamin D, where should
we get most of our vitamin D.
00:50:12.21\00:50:16.20
From the Sun, but
they have convinced us
00:50:16.21\00:50:18.14
that the Sun is not
healthy for us, amen.
00:50:18.15\00:50:20.53
Oh, don't go in the
Sun you'll get cancer.
00:50:20.54\00:50:23.82
Vitamin D has been found
not to just be a vitamin,
00:50:23.83\00:50:27.03
but it's actually a hormone.
00:50:27.04\00:50:28.48
It has many implications
and how it works in the brain.
00:50:28.49\00:50:31.18
They did a study called
the Tokyo knock out study,
00:50:31.19\00:50:33.25
where they found
obsessive behaviors in people
00:50:33.26\00:50:35.93
that were low in vitamin D.
00:50:35.94\00:50:37.44
Vitamin D is also
been associated with
00:50:37.45\00:50:39.18
higher risk of
cancer with heart disease,
00:50:39.19\00:50:43.02
with autoimmune
disease, with strokes,
00:50:43.03\00:50:45.65
it is an awesome hormone
00:50:45.66\00:50:48.02
that we need to
be getting enough of
00:50:48.03\00:50:49.69
and we're not
supposed to be getting it
00:50:49.70\00:50:50.94
in cow's milk, amen.
00:50:50.95\00:50:54.65
We're not supposed to be
getting it in cow's milk,
00:50:54.66\00:50:56.50
that is a
synthetic form of vitamin D
00:50:56.51\00:50:59.42
plus we're not
supposed to be drinking
00:50:59.43\00:51:01.05
the milk of another animal.
00:51:01.06\00:51:02.90
We're the only animal
00:51:02.91\00:51:04.26
that drinks the
milk of another animal
00:51:04.27\00:51:06.90
and we're the only
animal that drinks any milk
00:51:06.91\00:51:09.40
after we have been weaned.
00:51:09.41\00:51:12.37
Did you know that?
00:51:12.38\00:51:13.95
Let's look at
serotonin boosting foods.
00:51:13.96\00:51:15.82
Now I highlighted
some in particular.
00:51:15.83\00:51:17.57
Because we always
hear, oh if you want
00:51:17.58\00:51:19.08
high serotonin
levels eat turkey.
00:51:19.09\00:51:20.87
Turkey will make you happy
00:51:20.88\00:51:22.34
and avocado will
make you happier.
00:51:22.35\00:51:26.23
Oh chocolate,
chocolate just makes me feel
00:51:26.24\00:51:28.11
especially our
ladies they love chocolate.
00:51:28.12\00:51:31.19
I tell you there's an
estrogen chocolate link, amen.
00:51:31.20\00:51:36.94
Guys love pizza,
women love chocolate.
00:51:36.95\00:51:39.86
But guess what, oat flakes,
00:51:39.87\00:51:42.09
oats will raise
your serotonin levels
00:51:42.10\00:51:44.78
almost twice as
much as chocolate will.
00:51:44.79\00:51:47.46
Next slide please.
00:51:47.47\00:51:49.47
So a natural approach,
00:51:49.48\00:51:50.84
we need to basically
control stress in our lives
00:51:50.85\00:51:54.59
to keep that Cortisol
and serotonin in balance.
00:51:54.60\00:51:59.21
So now let's go to
the trouble sleeping.
00:51:59.22\00:52:03.20
Sixty million Americans,
is that a lot of people,
00:52:03.21\00:52:08.01
that's a lot of people,
00:52:08.02\00:52:09.01
sixty million Americans suffer
00:52:09.02\00:52:10.95
from disturbed
sleep characterized
00:52:10.96\00:52:12.60
by functional
impairments during the day.
00:52:12.61\00:52:14.65
If you don't sleep well at night
00:52:14.66\00:52:18.14
you're not gonna
function well the next day.
00:52:18.15\00:52:19.84
Is that common sense, brothers?
00:52:19.85\00:52:21.59
Common sense, but this
number is actually low,
00:52:21.60\00:52:25.68
because most people
that have sleep disturbances
00:52:25.69\00:52:27.77
never go to the doctor.
00:52:27.78\00:52:28.91
If you look at this next slide
00:52:28.92\00:52:30.20
that talks about insomnia
there has been a 30% to 40%
00:52:30.21\00:52:33.26
prevalence of episodic insomnia,
00:52:33.30\00:52:35.10
that means that many
of us probably most of us
00:52:35.11\00:52:39.35
have had problem
sleeping for one reason
00:52:39.36\00:52:41.77
or another at some
point in our lives, amen,
00:52:41.78\00:52:45.25
10% to 15% of people
suffer from chronic insomnia,
00:52:45.26\00:52:49.06
chronic insomnia.
00:52:49.07\00:52:51.53
And there is a
significant association
00:52:51.54\00:52:53.28
with anxiety and depression.
00:52:53.29\00:52:56.73
Our body's on what you
call a zirconium rhythm.
00:52:56.74\00:52:58.43
Anybody know what a
zirconium rhythm is?
00:52:58.44\00:53:00.82
It's a clock, it's a clock.
00:53:00.83\00:53:02.91
Our body is on
an automatic clock
00:53:02.92\00:53:04.93
and that clock basically says
we should work during the day
00:53:04.94\00:53:09.65
and we should sleep at night.
00:53:09.66\00:53:12.45
There is a study called
the nurse's health study
00:53:12.46\00:53:14.64
that demonstrated that nurses
00:53:14.65\00:53:16.00
that work the midnight shift
develop cancer twice as much,
00:53:16.01\00:53:19.98
cancer of the breast
twice as much as the women
00:53:19.99\00:53:21.85
that work the day shift
00:53:21.86\00:53:22.88
with all other risk
factors being the same.
00:53:22.89\00:53:25.08
So things like
seasonal affective disorder,
00:53:25.09\00:53:26.87
where we don't have any
sunlight to make vitamin D
00:53:26.88\00:53:28.74
and serotonin, shift workers,
00:53:28.75\00:53:30.78
jet lag all of these
things will disturb our sleep.
00:53:30.79\00:53:33.77
Next slide please.
00:53:33.78\00:53:34.80
Now we got drugs, as
you can see from this list,
00:53:34.81\00:53:37.86
we've got many drugs that
we can give you for insomnia,
00:53:37.87\00:53:41.66
but are we treating
the cause of the problem.
00:53:41.67\00:53:46.86
And if something
is going to give you,
00:53:46.87\00:53:48.06
did you know these
drugs can give you a hangover.
00:53:48.07\00:53:50.17
Did you know that these drugs
can actually give you amnesia?
00:53:50.18\00:53:54.62
Did you know that you can
get addicted to these drugs?
00:53:54.63\00:53:58.25
And did you know that you can
actually have rebound insomnia
00:53:58.26\00:54:02.00
from these drugs.
It's not good for you.
00:54:02.01\00:54:05.91
Insomnia, they've
found from studies
00:54:05.92\00:54:08.97
that insomnia can
be battled very well
00:54:08.98\00:54:11.56
with a hormone called melatonin.
00:54:11.57\00:54:15.02
Anyone here ever
heard of melatonin?
00:54:15.03\00:54:17.13
Where do we
produce it? In the brain.
00:54:17.14\00:54:20.20
So we'll go and
called the pineal gland.
00:54:20.21\00:54:21.93
Now what turns to melatonin?
00:54:21.94\00:54:25.24
Serotonin, in other words
00:54:25.25\00:54:27.50
we got to be happy to sleep.
00:54:28.70\00:54:31.36
If you don't make serotonin,
00:54:31.37\00:54:33.00
you can't
convert it to melatonin.
00:54:33.01\00:54:35.88
So the two go hand in hand.
00:54:35.89\00:54:37.21
Next slide please.
00:54:37.22\00:54:38.71
So sleep hygiene recommendations
00:54:38.72\00:54:40.19
eliminate caffeine and nicotine.
00:54:40.20\00:54:41.92
Wow, it kind of sounds
like the health message.
00:54:41.93\00:54:44.41
Reduce alcohol consumption.
00:54:44.42\00:54:45.78
Well, it kind of sounds
like the health message.
00:54:45.79\00:54:47.72
Avoid heavy
meals prior to bedtime,
00:54:47.73\00:54:49.61
this is science it
sounds like a health message.
00:54:49.62\00:54:52.12
Regular
exercise, oh it sounds like
00:54:52.13\00:54:53.64
the health message.
00:54:53.65\00:54:55.55
Avoid daytime
naps, minimize noise,
00:54:55.56\00:54:58.36
light, and excess temperature.
00:54:58.37\00:55:00.35
Passionflower, traditional herb
00:55:00.36\00:55:02.66
used for its sedative
00:55:02.67\00:55:03.77
and anxiolytic
properties that can help
00:55:03.78\00:55:05.97
with sleep and stress
00:55:05.98\00:55:07.50
and it can act just like a drug
00:55:07.51\00:55:10.72
called benzodiazepines
with no hangover,
00:55:10.73\00:55:14.18
no side effects.
00:55:14.19\00:55:15.18
I'm not telling
you go out and buy it.
00:55:15.19\00:55:16.86
I'm telling you
that God has a solution
00:55:16.87\00:55:19.04
for every one of our problems.
00:55:19.05\00:55:20.64
God needs, this
is the bottom line.
00:55:20.65\00:55:23.12
God needs our
minds in excellent shape
00:55:23.13\00:55:25.73
to have an excellent
relationship with Him,
00:55:25.74\00:55:27.54
if you believe that say amen.
00:55:27.55\00:55:30.08
The devil wants
our minds, brothers.
00:55:30.09\00:55:32.42
He wants our minds.
00:55:32.43\00:55:33.71
He wants them to be forgetful,
00:55:33.72\00:55:35.50
he wants them to be anxious,
he wants them to be depressed,
00:55:35.51\00:55:38.92
distracted, and/or fatigued
00:55:38.93\00:55:41.22
so that he can destroy
that relationship with God.
00:55:41.23\00:55:44.73
If he can destroy
that relationship with God,
00:55:44.74\00:55:46.71
he can destroy the relationship
00:55:46.72\00:55:48.05
with our fellowmen.
00:55:48.06\00:55:49.24
He wants us to not think
about these eight law of health
00:55:49.25\00:55:52.94
called God's plan.
00:55:52.95\00:55:54.37
Godly shall
stand with our creator,
00:55:54.38\00:55:56.23
spending time in the open air,
00:55:56.24\00:55:57.72
getting exercise everyday,
spending time in the sunlight,
00:55:57.73\00:56:01.24
getting proper rest,
drinking lots of water,
00:56:01.25\00:56:03.73
being temperate, which
means avoiding everything
00:56:03.74\00:56:05.90
that you know is bad for
you and doing the good things
00:56:05.91\00:56:08.16
in moderation
and proper nutrition.
00:56:08.17\00:56:10.38
All eight of these
must be done equally.
00:56:10.39\00:56:12.08
Some people will
call this a new start,
00:56:12.09\00:56:14.29
but they're the same
eight doctors and brothers,
00:56:14.30\00:56:17.76
they're free.
00:56:17.77\00:56:19.48
The Bible says in
Romans Chapter 12 verse 1,
00:56:19.49\00:56:22.90
very, very familiar passage.
00:56:22.91\00:56:24.34
"I beseech you
therefore brethren,
00:56:24.35\00:56:25.96
by the mercies of God,
00:56:25.97\00:56:27.42
that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice.
00:56:27.43\00:56:31.30
We're no good to them dead,
00:56:31.31\00:56:32.53
living sacrifice,
totally acceptable unto God,
00:56:32.54\00:56:34.92
which is your
reasonable service."
00:56:34.93\00:56:37.63
And be not
conformed to this world,
00:56:37.64\00:56:39.29
but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind.
00:56:39.30\00:56:43.27
That ye may
prove what is that good
00:56:43.28\00:56:45.15
and acceptable and
perfect will of God.
00:56:45.16\00:56:47.31
The more time we
spend with the God,
00:56:47.32\00:56:49.01
the smarter we get.
00:56:49.02\00:56:51.52
This gentleman
say, I don't like,
00:56:51.53\00:56:53.41
I don't like the way I
am, I need a transformation.
00:56:53.42\00:56:56.77
I've had to make
difficult choices,
00:56:58.23\00:57:00.19
but the transformation
that God brings about in health,
00:57:00.20\00:57:04.27
in mind are more than worth it.
00:57:04.28\00:57:07.45
God bless you,
gentlemen. Let's pray.
00:57:07.46\00:57:09.33
Heavenly Father, we thank You
00:57:11.47\00:57:13.49
again for these
brothers that have come out
00:57:13.50\00:57:16.59
and we thank you for
how Your word speaks to us
00:57:16.60\00:57:19.65
through our minds.
00:57:19.66\00:57:21.29
We pray in the name of Jesus
00:57:21.30\00:57:23.19
that our brains
would be more flexible,
00:57:23.20\00:57:26.68
more plastic to what
you have to say to us
00:57:26.69\00:57:28.93
help us to know
00:57:28.94\00:57:30.11
that the enemy is trying to
attack us in these five areas,
00:57:30.12\00:57:33.26
but that we can regenerate
and we can renew everyday
00:57:33.27\00:57:36.79
as we spend time
with you in your presence,
00:57:36.80\00:57:39.35
in Jesus name we
ask and we pray, amen.
00:57:39.36\00:57:42.40
