I want to spend my life.
00:00:04.23\00:00:08.97
I want to spend my life.
00:00:15.54\00:00:19.21
I want to spend my life.
00:00:36.83\00:00:42.24
Bending broken.
00:00:42.54\00:00:43.97
I want to spend my life.
00:00:47.54\00:00:51.11
Hello and welcome to another
3Avian Today live program.
00:01:06.66\00:01:10.03
We're just so glad that you
have joined us this evening.
00:01:10.20\00:01:12.73
One of the reasons is you're
part of the 3Avian family.
00:01:12.73\00:01:16.20
We just appreciate you and for
your continued prayers and your
00:01:16.40\00:01:20.58
financial support for
your ministry, ultimately God's
00:01:20.58\00:01:24.55
ministry, 3Avian.
00:01:24.55\00:01:26.78
And Jill tonight's program, wow,
we look forward to these every
00:01:26.82\00:01:31.92
year. This has been, I want to
say, kind of an annual tradition
00:01:32.45\00:01:37.23
of the Akins being here.
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.26
Paula and Curtis, Akins
are in the house, right?
00:01:38.26\00:01:41.46
Praise the Lord.
00:01:41.53\00:01:44.70
and that has to
do with diabetes.
00:01:44.70\00:01:47.34
And when they always come here,
it seems like I always kind of
00:01:48.54\00:01:51.31
smell something cooking
in the kitchen too, right?
00:01:51.31\00:01:53.07
They always come to do
a little cooking here too.
00:01:53.44\00:01:55.54
They do indeed.
00:01:55.61\00:01:56.24
And we have a whole program.
00:01:56.24\00:01:58.11
The second hour is all cooking
in the kitchen with Curtis and
00:01:58.41\00:02:03.18
Paula. So you want to make sure
you stay tuned for the second
00:02:03.25\00:02:06.39
hour as they bring
us some Mexican cuisine.
00:02:06.39\00:02:07.72
But tonight's all
about defeating diabetes.
00:02:07.72\00:02:11.86
And some of our favorite people
in the whole world is Curtis and
00:02:12.36\00:02:15.43
Paula Akins.
00:02:15.43\00:02:16.16
They are, of course, the
South Central Conference Health
00:02:16.63\00:02:19.43
Ministries co-directors.
00:02:19.43\00:02:21.84
And why is it co-directors
instead of like president and
00:02:22.27\00:02:25.41
vice president?
00:02:25.41\00:02:28.08
that.
00:02:28.08\00:02:30.45
So I need to be
president and vice president?
00:02:30.61\00:02:32.11
No, no, it has to
be two presidents.
00:02:32.11\00:02:34.95
a vice.
00:02:34.95\00:02:38.42
kind of renegotiate that term.
00:02:38.42\00:02:40.26
After 15 years, we
never thought about that.
00:02:42.06\00:02:44.33
Our president, Ben Jones,
will be talking to you shortly.
00:02:45.83\00:02:48.46
No, we're equal partners.
00:02:49.00\00:02:50.73
Equal partners.
00:02:51.43\00:02:56.74
So let's keep it going.
00:02:56.91\00:02:57.64
Yeah, equal partners.
00:02:58.47\00:02:59.44
Congratulations too, though.
00:02:59.87\00:03:00.74
That's a lot.
00:03:00.84\00:03:01.34
31 years.
00:03:01.41\00:03:02.31
Yeah, so actually 32.
00:03:02.31\00:03:04.05
We actually dated because we
have a like interest on health.
00:03:04.25\00:03:08.25
I was a medical herbalist
and everything can be cured by
00:03:08.72\00:03:12.35
herbs. And I knew
that I was unbalanced.
00:03:12.55\00:03:14.02
I need somebody to know
something about nutrition.
00:03:14.39\00:03:17.33
My mom said, oh, that's a lady.
00:03:18.36\00:03:19.96
She just graduated, got her
master's degree in nutrition.
00:03:20.13\00:03:22.53
And Paula Johnson at the time.
00:03:23.30\00:03:24.73
And so I contacted her and said,
look, I want to start a medical
00:03:24.93\00:03:28.34
missionary workshop on
the campus of Oakwood College.
00:03:28.34\00:03:31.64
The new girl's doing, Wade Hall.
00:03:31.64\00:03:33.61
I'll do the herbal part.
00:03:34.48\00:03:35.71
And I said, honey, you do...
00:03:36.34\00:03:37.68
Well, I didn't
say honey at first.
00:03:37.68\00:03:38.71
I said, you're
doing the nutrition part.
00:03:38.81\00:03:41.78
And so that's how I started
working together for at least
00:03:42.32\00:03:45.95
six months. Every
once a month on Sunday.
00:03:47.12\00:03:49.09
And we started
working together as a team.
00:03:49.62\00:03:51.19
And then after a while, I
said, Lord, get her for me.
00:03:51.33\00:03:54.40
She pleases me well.
00:03:54.40\00:03:55.40
So I kind of jumped a
whole lot on that one.
00:03:55.90\00:03:57.70
Yes, you did.
00:03:57.70\00:03:58.17
Yeah, a whole lot.
00:03:58.20\00:03:59.03
Yeah.
00:03:59.03\00:04:02.60
Amen.
00:04:02.67\00:04:03.17
So 32 years.
00:04:03.20\00:04:04.21
Congratulations to both of you.
00:04:04.51\00:04:05.74
So this role here with the South
Central Conference, you've been
00:04:06.31\00:04:08.91
with them and with the health
ministries for about, what, 14,
00:04:08.91\00:04:11.78
15 years.
00:04:11.78\00:04:12.21
Yeah, 15 years now.
00:04:12.31\00:04:13.55
Yes, South Central Conference.
00:04:13.58\00:04:14.75
So it was great for that.
00:04:14.98\00:04:19.09
of the longest running,
continually running programs on
00:04:19.09\00:04:23.36
3ABN called... That's
right, Abundant Living.
00:04:23.36\00:04:24.56
Good job.
00:04:25.36\00:04:25.93
It's like 28 years, 27, 28 years
on 3ABN, which is incredible.
00:04:26.59\00:04:30.87
And the Lord has
blessed you both.
00:04:31.30\00:04:32.43
You guys have an age.
00:04:32.57\00:04:33.80
You look great.
00:04:33.84\00:04:34.70
It's a testimony to
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:04:34.80\00:04:36.81
Could you say that again?
00:04:36.97\00:04:37.81
Did they pick that up?
00:04:38.11\00:04:39.11
We could say that again.
00:04:39.97\00:04:41.21
Paula just had a birthday.
00:04:41.51\00:04:42.24
She did.
00:04:42.51\00:04:44.41
Happy birthday to you.
00:04:45.31\00:04:46.61
And I always say age is just
a number and mine is unlisted.
00:04:46.92\00:04:51.69
That's what I'm saying.
00:04:52.72\00:04:53.29
Wow, that's great.
00:04:54.16\00:04:55.59
Before I cross,
I can reveal her...
00:04:55.69\00:04:57.79
No, you won't.
00:04:57.79\00:04:58.39
No, okay, never mind.
00:04:58.63\00:04:59.79
Oh, she just
kicked me off the table.
00:05:00.33\00:05:01.53
That's a shame.
00:05:01.56\00:05:02.00
Let's kind of move on.
00:05:02.13\00:05:03.20
Let's move on, yeah,
because we're going downhill.
00:05:03.20\00:05:05.37
Talk to us, though, about your
ministry, though, because you
00:05:06.03\00:05:07.97
all have your own ministry, too.
00:05:07.97\00:05:08.90
So tell us a
little bit about that.
00:05:08.97\00:05:10.07
Yeah, so our ministry was South
Central Conference first, but
00:05:10.51\00:05:13.31
before that it was our ministry,
Health Seminars Unlimited.
00:05:13.31\00:05:17.15
It's a 501c3 non-profit
organization started back in the
00:05:17.15\00:05:21.25
1990s right after we were
married and also doing business
00:05:21.25\00:05:25.89
at the Abundant
Living Center as well.
00:05:25.89\00:05:27.89
And we're looking at a facility
there in Huntsville, and that's
00:05:28.19\00:05:31.63
still open and available,
so we're still pursuing that as
00:05:31.63\00:05:34.83
well. So we want to help.
00:05:35.10\00:05:36.16
So we've been traveling quite
a bit throughout the United
00:05:36.43\00:05:39.07
States, Canada, Caribbean.
00:05:39.07\00:05:39.90
We want to settle down and
let people come to where we are,
00:05:40.44\00:05:43.81
minister to them.
00:05:44.14\00:05:45.27
And so my wife has the
gift of hospitality and cooking.
00:05:45.27\00:05:49.11
I mean, this is art.
00:05:49.31\00:05:50.31
It's worth ten talents.
00:05:50.75\00:05:51.81
There's a cookbook
called Ten Talents.
00:05:51.95\00:05:53.25
It really is.
00:05:53.25\00:05:54.05
Oh, yeah.
00:05:54.15\00:05:54.45
Oh, yes.
00:05:54.55\00:05:59.15
So, I mean, really, so together
we just want to help this
00:05:59.69\00:06:03.22
facility. But again, the
Abundant Living Center is not
there yet, but it's
00:06:03.86\00:06:07.76
in Huntsville, properties there.
00:06:07.76\00:06:09.63
So, I mean, let's
just talk about that then.
00:06:09.83\00:06:11.60
So what do we need to
do to make this happen?
00:06:11.60\00:06:13.20
Well, like I said before, we're
a 511C3 nonprofit organization.
00:06:13.20\00:06:17.21
So help on my email and email
and telephone number that people
00:06:17.94\00:06:22.44
can contact us and learn
more about the Abundant Living
00:06:22.44\00:06:25.95
Center. Yeah.
00:06:25.98\00:06:28.15
Yes.
00:06:28.55\00:06:28.75
That's the key.
00:06:29.15\00:06:32.69
I love this because it's a
place that's in the country.
00:06:32.69\00:06:35.19
And we've seen
pictures of this place.
00:06:35.19\00:06:36.83
I mean, this is
absolutely incredible.
00:06:36.89\00:06:38.23
Then you can contact the Akins
and they can tell you more about
00:06:38.76\00:06:41.66
it. But really it requires
funding in order to purchase
00:06:41.66\00:06:44.93
this beautiful
piece of property.
00:06:44.93\00:06:45.67
And like we said,
in God's timing, right?
00:06:46.07\00:06:47.54
Yes, in God's timing.
00:06:47.54\00:06:51.37
impressed with the Holy Spirit
to give, then give because the
00:06:51.37\00:06:54.04
Lord will bless in a mighty way.
00:06:54.04\00:06:55.24
And the ministry that you all
have and had is just incredible.
00:06:55.28\00:06:59.18
And I like this idea of people
coming to, you would call it,
00:06:59.31\00:07:03.05
not like an Airbnb,
but more of like a...
00:07:03.05\00:07:05.05
Retreat Center.
00:07:05.05\00:07:05.55
Retreat Center.
00:07:05.65\00:07:06.55
That's right.
00:07:06.76\00:07:10.89
You know, you have the Juchi
Pines, Wildwood, and Weimar for
00:07:10.89\00:07:15.30
14 days, 21 days, etc.
00:07:15.36\00:07:16.33
This will come where people come
for maybe a day or two, get the
00:07:16.63\00:07:20.14
information.
00:07:20.14\00:07:20.80
We teach them how to fish
and therefore hands-on cooking
00:07:21.34\00:07:26.21
instruction.
00:07:26.21\00:07:26.98
They're on cooking stations.
00:07:27.38\00:07:28.51
You're talking with you both?
00:07:28.68\00:07:29.74
Yes.
00:07:30.21\00:07:30.55
With you?
00:07:30.58\00:07:31.21
Right there at the facility.
00:07:31.21\00:07:32.61
We also have gardening.
00:07:32.78\00:07:34.32
You know, Huntsville,
Alabama is in Zone 7A.
00:07:34.68\00:07:36.89
You can garden all year long.
00:07:37.49\00:07:39.25
So also about gardening, have
your own gardening, weed free.
00:07:39.25\00:07:42.89
We're talking about a
garden in the kitchen, right?
00:07:43.09\00:07:45.46
And four by eight
raised bed garden.
00:07:45.73\00:07:47.60
And also, of course, the
PowerPoint presentation on
00:07:47.86\00:07:50.83
different diseases as
well, with workbooks included.
00:07:50.83\00:07:52.93
So it's a wonderful facility.
00:07:53.27\00:07:54.64
So the plan...
00:07:54.84\00:07:55.57
Go ahead, Paula.
00:07:55.57\00:07:59.34
always saying, I would
love to come where you are.
00:07:59.34\00:08:01.04
Right.
00:08:01.08\00:08:05.45
all kinds of stuff going on.
00:08:05.45\00:08:09.58
going through.
00:08:09.58\00:08:10.25
It could be something
that's really going on.
00:08:10.59\00:08:11.92
They want to be more personable.
00:08:11.92\00:08:13.25
And we want to be able to have
them come aside and rest awhile.
00:08:13.46\00:08:16.56
So that's why this
center is important.
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.86
They can come aside.
00:08:19.06\00:08:20.36
They can go out and sit in
nature, read the Word of God,
00:08:20.56\00:08:24.47
get some real good food.
00:08:24.47\00:08:27.14
I'm not going to be cooking.
00:08:27.20\00:08:28.04
They're going to work
at their own stations.
00:08:28.54\00:08:30.34
So they can go back home.
00:08:30.61\00:08:31.61
And the same thing is
courtesy with the garden.
00:08:31.91\00:08:33.61
Get their hands in the soil.
00:08:33.84\00:08:35.11
They're actually going to
take a plant home with them.
00:08:35.11\00:08:37.18
But our goal is that when we
finish with them, they're at the
00:08:37.78\00:08:41.25
center, they're ready to go home
and teach their family and their
00:08:41.65\00:08:44.22
community what to do.
00:08:44.22\00:08:48.52
disease.
00:08:48.52\00:08:48.89
We're going to be a
place for education.
00:08:49.46\00:08:50.79
Educate, educate, educate.
00:08:51.56\00:08:53.33
Shemmler says that three times.
00:08:53.63\00:08:55.20
Educate, educate, educate.
00:08:56.23\00:08:57.87
Lifestyle medicine.
00:08:58.23\00:08:59.10
So before we move on to talking
about diabetes, because that is
00:08:59.50\00:09:01.87
tonight's topic is diabetes,
is I want to go talk about just
00:09:01.87\00:09:05.24
this facility.
00:09:05.24\00:09:07.74
This is incredible.
00:09:08.24\00:09:11.68
could we say,
almost fully furnished.
00:09:11.68\00:09:13.21
You've got buildings.
00:09:13.35\00:09:14.42
It's all there.
00:09:14.72\00:09:15.72
Talk to us a little
about some of those details.
00:09:16.22\00:09:17.62
When I walked into this
kitchen, I just had a fit.
00:09:17.69\00:09:19.62
I mean, I'm like...
00:09:19.89\00:09:23.99
I had to kind of
start wiping her mouth.
00:09:24.19\00:09:26.16
All down the sides.
00:09:26.46\00:09:27.46
No, we don't need to just...
00:09:27.76\00:09:28.60
Okay, that's a
little bit too much.
00:09:28.60\00:09:30.20
Okay, go ahead, honey.
00:09:30.27\00:09:34.50
That's amazing.
00:09:34.50\00:09:35.00
Stations for them to sit also.
00:09:35.20\00:09:36.60
I would say maybe four to six
people could be in the kitchen
00:09:36.84\00:09:40.11
with me.
00:09:40.11\00:09:43.21
That's a big area.
00:09:43.61\00:09:44.95
A separate building, 1,500
square foot, transform that into
00:09:45.15\00:09:49.58
the living main
facility of education.
00:09:49.58\00:09:52.42
See, this to me is why, just as
my opinion, I believe that God
00:09:53.12\00:09:57.29
has this place for you all.
00:09:57.29\00:09:58.43
I really do.
00:09:58.43\00:09:58.46
Because, you know, to
build now is very expensive.
00:09:59.46\00:10:02.36
You have
buildings already there.
00:10:02.60\00:10:04.00
It's a beautiful piece
of land in the country.
00:10:04.13\00:10:06.57
Mature trees, bushes.
00:10:07.10\00:10:08.57
You know, it can be in nature.
00:10:08.84\00:10:10.04
I mean, it's
absolutely incredible.
00:10:10.21\00:10:11.41
And I'm just
going to go out there.
00:10:11.71\00:10:12.87
In order to get this piece of
property, you can talk to them
00:10:12.97\00:10:14.98
about more of the details.
00:10:14.98\00:10:16.04
We're talking about several
hundred thousand dollars.
00:10:16.14\00:10:17.45
For some of
you, that's no issue.
00:10:17.48\00:10:19.08
It's like, oh, you know what?
00:10:19.21\00:10:22.22
And this is
education, education, education.
00:10:22.32\00:10:24.59
And that's so important because
then people can take that back.
00:10:25.09\00:10:27.69
The knowledge they have learned
there at the retreat center to
00:10:27.69\00:10:30.56
their communities, to
their churches, and share that.
00:10:30.56\00:10:33.19
And that ripple
grows bigger and bigger.
00:10:33.40\00:10:34.63
So the impact is huge.
00:10:34.66\00:10:36.33
It's not just for one person
or two people or three people.
00:10:36.56\00:10:39.03
This gets bigger and bigger.
00:10:39.07\00:10:40.04
So again, very
excited about that.
00:10:40.34\00:10:41.74
Contact them, though.
00:10:42.04\00:10:44.97
the email.
00:10:44.97\00:10:45.47
And you can get
more information.
00:10:45.77\00:10:46.61
They'll give you
pictures and stuff.
00:10:46.64\00:10:47.94
Because this is an
incredible opportunity for them.
00:10:48.04\00:10:51.45
So I'm excited about it.
00:10:51.45\00:10:51.48
when pastors come to town and
they need a hideout place, they
00:10:55.68\00:10:59.45
can come.
00:10:59.45\00:11:03.36
time, for a pastor's retreat.
00:11:03.36\00:11:05.39
They can actually come
there and stay as well.
00:11:05.63\00:11:07.66
So educate all the way
around, all the way around.
00:11:08.03\00:11:10.30
That's really good.
00:11:10.30\00:11:10.33
Yeah.
00:11:11.03\00:11:11.07
So tonight's...
00:11:12.53\00:11:13.44
Go ahead, babe.
00:11:13.44\00:11:15.77
Me too.
00:11:16.04\00:11:16.50
We really believe.
00:11:16.54\00:11:20.68
is doing in and
through your ministry.
00:11:20.68\00:11:22.08
Absolutely.
00:11:22.21\00:11:28.82
What am I trying to say?
00:11:28.82\00:11:29.75
You have to know
why you do what you do.
00:11:29.78\00:11:32.69
That's true.
00:11:32.69\00:11:33.12
In order to make a change.
00:11:33.32\00:11:34.39
Yes.
00:11:34.39\00:11:34.89
Because that is so vital.
00:11:35.02\00:11:36.16
You can say, okay, you
need to eat plant-based.
00:11:36.19\00:11:37.83
Well, great.
00:11:37.96\00:11:38.79
After a week, I'm
sick of plant -based.
00:11:38.83\00:11:40.13
I don't want to do it.
00:11:40.23\00:11:41.00
I have to know
why I need to do this.
00:11:41.03\00:11:42.93
Yeah.
00:11:42.93\00:11:43.33
There you go.
00:11:43.33\00:11:43.83
Yes.
00:11:44.07\00:11:46.63
And speaking of that, tonight
we're talking about diabetes.
00:11:46.90\00:11:49.84
Diabetes.
00:11:50.01\00:11:50.41
Defeating diabetes.
00:11:51.24\00:11:51.74
So what is diabetes?
00:11:51.74\00:11:53.07
And why do we even need
to be talking about diabetes?
00:11:53.07\00:11:55.34
Okay, so now this is...
00:11:55.78\00:11:57.58
You see the
banner there as well.
00:11:57.58\00:11:58.75
Hopefully you can
zoom in on that as well.
00:11:58.85\00:12:00.75
And so number one, let me
just first define the term.
00:12:01.18\00:12:05.09
And we're going to put as much
as we can in this first hour.
00:12:05.42\00:12:07.99
Now this is a three-hour
defeating diabetes conference.
00:12:08.02\00:12:12.43
We're going to crunch it
down in about 40 minutes or so.
00:12:12.56\00:12:16.43
And you're going to be
part of this discussion as well.
00:12:17.33\00:12:20.07
You mean you and I?
00:12:20.34\00:12:20.77
Yes.
00:12:21.27\00:12:21.77
So what is diabetes?
00:12:21.77\00:12:23.57
In simplified terms, diabetes
is when blood sugar, glucose,
00:12:24.14\00:12:30.78
remains abnormally
high in the bloodstream.
00:12:30.78\00:12:34.52
So when I say blood sugar,
glucose, remains abnormally high
00:12:34.88\00:12:43.79
in the bloodstream.
00:12:43.79\00:12:44.43
Now, what is high?
00:12:44.89\00:12:46.83
Well, there's two ways to
determining how high is as far
00:12:47.23\00:12:51.90
as diabetes is concerned.
00:12:51.90\00:12:52.63
Short-term is a finger prick.
00:12:53.13\00:12:55.00
All right?
00:12:55.94\00:12:56.40
And this is fast in blood sugar.
00:12:56.64\00:12:57.97
You haven't had anything to
eat, let's say, for eight hours.
00:12:58.14\00:13:00.64
And if that number is 126
or higher, that's a diabetic.
00:13:00.94\00:13:05.91
That's short-term, all right?
00:13:06.95\00:13:08.58
Finger prick, all right?
00:13:08.75\00:13:09.58
At that moment,
diabetic, all right?
00:13:09.75\00:13:11.92
A long-term is
what we call an A1C.
00:13:12.59\00:13:16.62
Now, A1C,
hemoglobin, red blood cells.
00:13:16.62\00:13:20.03
We get red blood cells
every three months, all right?
00:13:20.06\00:13:22.43
So here's a red blood cell.
00:13:22.73\00:13:24.07
On top of the red
blood cell is the glucose.
00:13:24.57\00:13:27.37
So if you check the red
blood cells, you also check the
00:13:27.94\00:13:31.71
glucose and know the glucose
over the period of two to three
00:13:31.71\00:13:35.78
months, since red blood cells
last for three months, depending
00:13:36.14\00:13:39.48
on when you check it.
00:13:39.48\00:13:43.62
whether or not a person
is a diabetic, all right?
00:13:44.29\00:13:46.59
A1C is what it's called.
00:13:46.59\00:13:48.16
Now, if that number, percentage,
is 6.5 or higher, then you're a
00:13:48.59\00:13:54.50
diabetic.
00:13:54.50\00:13:58.50
-term.
00:13:58.50\00:14:00.27
And so, now, when that number is
really high, it has a tremendous
00:14:00.77\00:14:09.14
impact on the economic impact of
the United States and the world,
00:14:09.14\00:14:13.78
when it's really high.
00:14:13.88\00:14:14.65
The world, okay.
00:14:14.65\00:14:15.82
The world, because
this is the epidemic.
00:14:16.15\00:14:17.99
Wow.
00:14:18.12\00:14:18.62
This is the epidemic.
00:14:18.69\00:14:19.42
So I want you guys
to hold on to your seat.
00:14:20.72\00:14:23.09
Okay, I got it.
00:14:23.86\00:14:24.63
I got to hold on to my seat.
00:14:24.73\00:14:25.46
Ready?
00:14:25.46\00:14:25.66
Okay, yes.
00:14:25.96\00:14:28.90
know what I'm going to say, but
she still holds on to her seat.
00:14:28.90\00:14:30.97
When blood, sugar, glucose, once
the A1C reached around 7% or
00:14:32.37\00:14:39.11
higher, or 154,
that's the fingerprint,
00:14:39.11\00:14:42.81
when you start seeing very
serious problems with the body
00:14:45.91\00:14:54.32
from head to toe.
00:14:54.32\00:14:56.22
Okay, let me start from the
head and go down to the toe.
00:14:56.26\00:14:59.63
Number one, diabetes is
the leading cause of adult
00:15:00.20\00:15:06.94
blindness. Oh, wow.
00:15:07.54\00:15:08.04
The leading cause.
00:15:08.17\00:15:09.14
The leading cause
of adult blindness.
00:15:09.24\00:15:11.64
When blood sugar is abnormally
high, it damages the retina of
00:15:11.64\00:15:18.08
the eye.
00:15:18.08\00:15:18.68
Therefore, the term
is diabetic retinopathy.
00:15:19.01\00:15:22.55
So the leading cause of adult
blindness with high blood sugar
00:15:23.42\00:15:28.32
that's sustained uncontrolled.
00:15:28.32\00:15:30.46
That's number one.
00:15:30.93\00:15:31.69
Let's go down to the heart.
00:15:31.96\00:15:33.29
When a person has diabetes, then
there's less blood flow, so it
00:15:33.83\00:15:38.50
increases the
risk of a heart attack.
00:15:38.50\00:15:40.87
And that's two to four times
more than a person who does not
00:15:41.50\00:15:45.17
have diabetes.
00:15:45.17\00:15:45.77
So a lot of times on a death
certificate, it may have died of
00:15:46.44\00:15:50.21
a heart attack, but the
underlying cause was diabetes.
00:15:50.21\00:15:53.75
That is amazing.
00:15:54.15\00:15:55.25
Let's go down to the stomach.
00:15:55.25\00:15:57.35
I used to work at Huntsville
Hospital the first two years in
00:15:57.99\00:16:00.92
digestion.
00:16:00.92\00:16:01.72
And so when there's a high
degree of blood sugar, glucose
00:16:02.29\00:16:05.73
in the bloodstream, it damages
the nerves of the stomach.
00:16:05.73\00:16:10.27
Now, there's a medical
term called gastroparesis.
00:16:11.17\00:16:15.27
Gastro means stomach.
00:16:15.80\00:16:17.07
Paresis means paralyzed.
00:16:18.24\00:16:20.31
So gastroparesis, blood
sugar, damages the stomach and
00:16:20.81\00:16:26.48
paralyzes the stomach.
00:16:26.48\00:16:27.02
So it no longer digests?
00:16:27.18\00:16:28.08
Exactly.
00:16:28.98\00:16:29.92
So now the stomach does not
empty the food out as it should.
00:16:30.19\00:16:33.59
Now you have bloating, gas, and
bad breath, and vomiting, and
00:16:33.59\00:16:39.46
sickness, and nausea.
00:16:39.66\00:16:40.86
And I've seen, and I worked in
the Huntsville Hospital in the
00:16:41.10\00:16:44.57
area of digestion, I've seen
people who have food undigested
00:16:44.57\00:16:48.87
in the stomach.
00:16:48.87\00:16:52.14
Look at that.
00:16:52.54\00:16:53.54
The kidneys.
00:16:54.71\00:16:55.48
Diabetes is the leading
cause of kidney failure.
00:16:57.18\00:17:02.05
The leading cause of kidney
failure, it damages the kidneys.
00:17:02.05\00:17:07.52
So therefore a lot of people
are on dialysis due to diabetes.
00:17:08.12\00:17:13.06
Now, let's go down to the foot.
00:17:13.90\00:17:17.53
Exhibit A.
00:17:19.57\00:17:21.47
Oh my.
00:17:22.10\00:17:22.77
That's what I want them to say.
00:17:24.01\00:17:25.14
Oh my.
00:17:25.41\00:17:26.14
Diabetes damages the nerves.
00:17:27.88\00:17:31.11
Let me see.
00:17:31.11\00:17:31.48
Oh, there you go.
00:17:31.61\00:17:32.25
Yeah, they got it.
00:17:32.35\00:17:32.98
You can see that.
00:17:33.25\00:17:34.58
Half the foot, the toe is gone.
00:17:35.02\00:17:36.69
Diabetes damages the nerves
of the foot and the fingers.
00:17:38.15\00:17:44.29
So therefore,
there's a term for that.
00:17:44.99\00:17:46.59
It's called, there you
go, diabetic neuropathy.
00:17:46.63\00:17:50.20
Nerve damage.
00:17:51.07\00:17:52.00
So the last seven years at the
Huntsville Hospital, I worked in
00:17:52.83\00:17:55.40
the area of surgery.
00:17:55.40\00:17:56.34
And so one of the surgical
procedures that I dread the most
00:17:57.34\00:18:01.28
in assisting is amputation.
00:18:01.28\00:18:03.78
So typically what happens is
that typically the big toe goes
00:18:04.88\00:18:10.35
first. If you don't look at
the big toe, that goes first.
00:18:10.69\00:18:12.92
And then the half of foot,
and then at the ankle, above the
00:18:13.96\00:18:22.20
knee, and below the knee, and
above the knee, is usually in
00:18:22.20\00:18:25.77
that order. Somebody's foot,
somebody's leg is taken off
154,000 times in this
00:18:27.07\00:18:34.51
country every
three and a half minutes.
00:18:34.51\00:18:37.71
Someone is having their foot
and leg removed in the United
00:18:38.08\00:18:43.02
States. So therefore,
this is an economic impact.
00:18:43.85\00:18:45.95
I remember one nurse
doing a surgical procedure.
00:18:46.29\00:18:49.89
A guy came in, a grown
man in the operating room.
00:18:50.59\00:18:53.66
It's too late for me to
do a PowerPoint presentation.
00:18:54.30\00:18:56.40
We're about to
take off his foot.
00:18:56.40\00:18:57.97
So the nurse was doing a, we
call it a bated iron scrub for
00:18:58.20\00:19:01.57
five minutes to clean the place
where we're going to do the
00:19:01.57\00:19:05.21
operation. So she
was cleaning his foot.
00:19:05.57\00:19:07.28
And she said, as she was
cleaning the foot before the
00:19:07.88\00:19:12.48
operation, the
big toe just fell off.
00:19:12.48\00:19:13.68
It was just that bad.
00:19:14.38\00:19:16.38
And that has to do with what?
00:19:16.72\00:19:17.75
Circulation?
00:19:17.92\00:19:18.39
Poor circulation.
00:19:18.85\00:19:20.02
High glucose in the bloodstream.
00:19:21.56\00:19:25.56
So it damages the nerves in
the fingers and also the foot.
00:19:25.56\00:19:30.00
So this is something that I
dread the most in assisting.
00:19:30.27\00:19:34.10
And I hate to do this surgical
procedure to assist in right
00:19:34.54\00:19:38.74
before lunch.
00:19:38.74\00:19:39.21
It ruins my lunch.
00:19:40.48\00:19:41.58
Because it's an eerie feeling to
take off somebody's foot, leg.
00:19:42.24\00:19:47.42
And I held this foot and leg in
my hand and I handed it off to a
00:19:47.68\00:19:51.29
circulating nurse.
00:19:51.29\00:19:52.02
I mean, it's an eerie feeling.
00:19:52.39\00:19:53.62
Then I hand the surgeon a stitch
and he just goes and sews up the
00:19:53.62\00:19:58.03
wound.
00:19:58.03\00:20:01.03
right?
00:20:01.26\00:20:03.50
And most of it
doesn't need to happen.
00:20:03.73\00:20:06.47
It doesn't need to happen.
00:20:06.84\00:20:07.97
One of my best friends in high
school, just recently, he's a
00:20:08.87\00:20:12.47
diabetic.
00:20:12.47\00:20:17.85
this year he died.
00:20:17.85\00:20:19.25
My next door neighbor.
00:20:19.75\00:20:21.05
We had a class on
diabetes at our church.
00:20:21.05\00:20:23.75
I told my next door neighbor,
I knew he was a diabetic, and I
00:20:24.25\00:20:26.79
said, hey, this is
free, open to the public.
00:20:26.96\00:20:29.69
He didn't attend.
00:20:30.16\00:20:30.89
He's died, all right?
00:20:31.59\00:20:32.99
And so therefore, now the thing
about this is, once a person has
00:20:33.23\00:20:37.50
an amputation, be it a foot or
a leg, because it has a dramatic
00:20:37.50\00:20:43.54
impact psychologically and
depression that 18% of people
00:20:43.54\00:20:49.24
who have an amputation, 18% of
people die within the first 90
00:20:49.24\00:20:55.12
days, because they
can't handle a loss of a limb.
00:20:55.12\00:20:58.22
50% of people, 65% of people,
die within the next five years.
00:20:59.55\00:21:05.13
65%?
00:21:05.36\00:21:06.53
Yes, within the next five years.
00:21:06.56\00:21:07.93
So once you lose a limb or leg
or foot, whatever, the economic
00:21:08.06\00:21:12.27
impact, the emotional drama
about that, some people have no
00:21:12.27\00:21:17.91
will to live, and
18% are dead in 90 days.
00:21:17.91\00:21:21.68
So that's why we're talking
about this is a multi-system
00:21:22.14\00:21:27.62
disease, because blood sugar,
glucose, is everywhere in the
00:21:28.45\00:21:34.06
blood, so since every organ and
gland needs blood for nutrients,
then every organ and
00:21:34.06\00:21:39.09
gland is going to be affected,
because glucose is high in the
00:21:39.09\00:21:42.60
bloodstream.
00:21:42.60\00:21:47.87
health is concerned.
00:21:47.87\00:21:48.60
So that's why this is so
passionate to me, because I've
00:21:49.27\00:21:54.74
seen this firsthand.
00:21:54.74\00:21:58.58
and there's tears in his eyes.
00:21:58.98\00:22:00.68
It's too late for a PowerPoint
presentation, so that's why
00:22:01.28\00:22:04.15
we're on the other end of that.
00:22:04.15\00:22:05.35
So I'm going to leave this
foot on here as Exhibit A, as a
00:22:05.52\00:22:11.19
reminder. If left unchecked,
then it can damage the leg, the
00:22:11.19\00:22:17.90
foot, the fingers, etc.
00:22:17.90\00:22:19.07
And so if you see this foot
here, get a close-up of this, if
00:22:19.47\00:22:24.24
it looks like this, we don't cut
the foot here, we cut it above
00:22:24.24\00:22:30.48
at the ankle, just above
the dead portion of the foot as
00:22:31.51\00:22:35.02
well. So any questions or
comments on that, because that's
00:22:35.72\00:22:40.99
the impact of diabetes not only
in the United States, but also
00:22:40.99\00:22:44.59
in the world, and we here in
Huntsville, Alabama, where we
00:22:44.59\00:22:47.56
live, the state of Alabama, has
one of the highest rates of
diabetes in the country.
00:22:47.56\00:22:52.90
So we live in the
heart of the diabetes belt.
00:22:54.77\00:23:00.21
What percentage of
people have diabetes in America?
00:23:00.71\00:23:03.51
By 11%.
00:23:03.78\00:23:05.18
But now in Mobile, Alabama,
a city in Alabama, their
00:23:05.18\00:23:10.45
percentage is 18%, way past the
normal percentage throughout the
00:23:10.45\00:23:15.92
United States. So it's about 40
million people who have diabetes
in the United States.
00:23:16.73\00:23:19.89
40 million.
00:23:20.23\00:23:20.93
Another 90 million have pre
-diabetes, and most don't even
00:23:21.56\00:23:25.97
know it because
there's very little symptoms.
00:23:25.97\00:23:27.64
So we're going to have, at the
end of this presentation, get
00:23:27.94\00:23:31.94
your pencil and pen out,
we're going to have a test, six
00:23:31.94\00:23:36.64
questions, because a lot of
people, they may not get
diagnosed or may not get tested,
00:23:36.64\00:23:40.42
but they're pre-diabetic or even
are diabetic and don't even know
00:23:40.85\00:23:43.55
it.
00:23:43.55\00:23:46.42
We have some questions, and
you'll be taking this test too.
00:23:46.59\00:23:49.76
And so therefore, because I
want to make sure that people
00:23:50.33\00:23:52.96
understand that a lot of people
are listening who are
pre-diabetic or even
00:23:53.60\00:23:57.50
diabetic and don't even know it.
00:23:57.50\00:23:59.00
It can get worse.
00:23:59.37\00:24:00.67
It can get worse.
00:24:00.70\00:24:05.14
So I'm thinking we have lots
of people watching then who are
00:24:05.44\00:24:08.21
diabetic and who
struggle with diabetes.
00:24:08.21\00:24:10.11
So is my life
expectancy shortened?
00:24:11.31\00:24:13.21
Do I have to die?
00:24:13.58\00:24:14.65
Am I going to go
through these amputations?
00:24:14.85\00:24:16.52
Is there anything I can do
since I already have diabetes to
00:24:16.69\00:24:21.36
reverse the effects of this?
00:24:21.36\00:24:22.39
Yes, yes.
00:24:22.39\00:24:23.26
So life expectancy is usually
reduced about five to six years.
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.00
If you're diabetic, just take
off five to six years of your
00:24:27.40\00:24:32.10
life on the average.
00:24:32.10\00:24:38.77
highlighted as much
when it comes to this topic.
00:24:38.77\00:24:41.31
So a lot of times you hear a lot
about nutrition, carbohydrates,
00:24:42.54\00:24:48.82
we're going to talk about that,
exercise, that kind of thing.
00:24:49.22\00:24:52.49
But now there's one thing
that has a dramatic impact on
00:24:52.85\00:24:57.73
diabetes that's
not being talked about.
00:24:57.73\00:24:59.29
And we're going to take a
little time on that, all right?
00:24:59.29\00:25:02.33
Greg put on his glasses, so he
looks very astute at this time.
00:25:02.66\00:25:06.20
I'm trying to actually see my
paper here taking a few notes.
00:25:06.40\00:25:09.57
I'm trying to help my cause in
case I'm asked some questions.
00:25:09.94\00:25:12.74
So over the years, my wife and
I, a guy gave us this, we used
00:25:14.38\00:25:19.65
to do a presentation called The
Seven Spiritual Stress Busters,
00:25:19.65\00:25:26.02
all right?
00:25:26.02\00:25:35.53
stress, chronic
stress, can impact diabetes.
00:25:35.53\00:25:40.27
That's not really
being talked about as much.
00:25:40.74\00:25:43.47
You hear a lot about nutrition,
carbohydrates, exercise, that
00:25:43.67\00:25:46.71
kind of thing, but stress
can have a dramatic impact on
00:25:46.71\00:25:51.21
increasing the risk of diabetes.
00:25:51.21\00:25:52.45
There was an article just
done just a few years ago.
00:25:52.91\00:25:57.05
It's a medical journal called
Current Diabetes Review, all
00:25:57.79\00:26:01.86
right? Just came
out a few years ago.
00:26:01.86\00:26:03.63
And the topic of this article
is entitled Chronic Stress and
00:26:04.13\00:26:09.93
Diabetes,
Interwoven Pathologies.
00:26:09.93\00:26:13.07
In other words, how stress and
diabetes are interwoven together
00:26:13.47\00:26:19.24
and impact diabetes.
00:26:19.24\00:26:21.74
When a person is in chronic
stress mode, worry a lot.
00:26:21.74\00:26:28.38
Number one, it reduces the
insulin that the body produce.
00:26:29.02\00:26:33.09
That's number one.
00:26:33.32\00:26:39.06
the term, insulin
resistance, all right?
00:26:39.06\00:26:42.20
And number three, it's hard
to get a good balance of your
00:26:42.50\00:26:46.43
glucose when a person is really
under stress or worry a lot.
00:26:46.43\00:26:50.44
So with that in mind, we go
through what we call the seven
00:26:50.44\00:26:54.58
spiritual stress processes.
00:26:54.58\00:26:58.65
about this as well.
00:26:58.65\00:26:59.58
So one of the things that we
put on our screen during this
00:27:00.22\00:27:04.12
presentation, let's put this
on the screen, first of all, and
00:27:04.12\00:27:08.79
we're going to walk
this through, all right?
00:27:08.79\00:27:09.76
So let's go to the screen.
00:27:09.79\00:27:10.63
This is our first
graphic, all right?
00:27:10.66\00:27:12.19
So I'll read it to you.
00:27:12.19\00:27:13.33
All right, here it is.
00:27:13.40\00:27:14.46
This is my character and
personality, book two, page 473.
00:27:14.50\00:27:18.43
Now, listen to
these words, quote,
00:27:18.57\00:27:20.37
All right?
00:27:40.56\00:27:41.42
Now, so we need
that on the screen.
00:27:41.69\00:27:43.59
Every trial before he permits
it to come to the believer, all
00:27:50.13\00:27:54.94
right? So with that in mind,
we've been doing this, I guess,
00:27:55.10\00:27:58.04
what, 20 years or so?
00:27:58.04\00:28:05.98
said this to our church, he
said, this is his favorite quote
00:28:05.98\00:28:09.85
from this
author, Ellen Jean White.
00:28:09.85\00:28:10.99
His favorite quote, I think he
said, if he's a pastor, he said,
00:28:11.35\00:28:14.89
put this quote on my
tombstone, something like that.
00:28:15.16\00:28:18.49
I mean, really,
didn't he say that, honey?
00:28:18.49\00:28:19.79
It is a powerful quote.
00:28:19.93\00:28:20.76
I mean, it's a
powerful, so honey...
00:28:20.76\00:28:22.46
We can trust God.
00:28:22.46\00:28:23.60
So trust God, because if not,
it's going to impact diabetes
00:28:23.97\00:28:30.11
and blood pressure and cancer,
a whole lot of things, but
00:28:30.11\00:28:33.14
diabetes. So now, honey...
00:28:33.68\00:28:34.94
So I'm going to ask
you a real quick question.
00:28:34.94\00:28:36.11
So in other words, so I am then,
I can be really healthy then,
00:28:36.31\00:28:38.98
right? Try to eat right?
00:28:39.05\00:28:43.18
diabetes eating.
00:28:43.18\00:28:48.89
wholesome, plant-based diet,
exercise, run marathons, get
00:28:48.89\00:28:54.73
adequate amount of sleep, still
be a diabetic because you're
00:28:54.73\00:28:58.57
stressed out and worried.
00:28:58.57\00:28:59.90
So this is why we're
going to spend some time.
00:29:01.30\00:29:03.51
This is up first because I want
to make sure we have enough time
00:29:03.51\00:29:06.07
for this.
00:29:06.07\00:29:10.51
in.
00:29:10.51\00:29:10.95
So first of all,
we have a cup here.
00:29:11.38\00:29:13.35
A measuring cup.
00:29:14.58\00:29:15.28
A measuring cup.
00:29:15.28\00:29:16.08
And so therefore, now
let's use both of them.
00:29:16.72\00:29:20.22
Now we have some
soybeans here too.
00:29:20.56\00:29:22.56
So we have some beans.
00:29:22.86\00:29:23.86
Okay.
00:29:24.13\00:29:29.40
stress busters, at the end
of the program, they're really
00:29:29.40\00:29:33.07
enticing,
watching us and everything.
00:29:33.10\00:29:34.17
Then we're going to
bring out our measuring cup.
00:29:34.47\00:29:36.30
Now I don't know who in the
audience is going to be a part
00:29:36.81\00:29:39.34
of this.
00:29:39.34\00:29:41.61
up?
00:29:41.61\00:29:44.65
up.
00:29:44.65\00:29:44.78
That's the one cup.
00:29:45.18\00:29:45.85
They raise their
hand and they'll come up.
00:29:46.15\00:29:47.35
I say, okay, I need you to hold
the measuring cup, all right?
00:29:47.38\00:29:49.98
And so we're
talking about stresses now.
00:29:50.19\00:29:52.19
Nothing about the
person who's there with me.
00:29:52.39\00:29:54.16
Not at all.
00:29:54.16\00:29:57.46
through that's really
giving you a hard time.
00:29:57.46\00:29:59.46
So I want you to hold this cup.
00:29:59.73\00:30:01.13
And then I'm going to start
putting some different, some
00:30:01.33\00:30:05.00
soybeans in your cup.
00:30:05.00\00:30:07.04
No?
00:30:08.27\00:30:08.44
You got it?
00:30:08.67\00:30:09.07
Oh, Curtis got it.
00:30:09.17\00:30:09.47
But let's ask
them, so you guys...
00:30:10.37\00:30:12.67
Let me, let me...
00:30:13.74\00:30:14.64
Oh.
00:30:14.64\00:30:14.88
Okay.
00:30:15.11\00:30:15.48
This is really hurting.
00:30:15.81\00:30:17.08
So to the person who's standing
there, the person standing
00:30:17.11\00:30:18.61
there, I'll say, well,
let me ask you a question.
00:30:18.61\00:30:20.35
Do you have any children?
00:30:21.15\00:30:22.15
And they'll say, well, I do.
00:30:22.45\00:30:23.55
I say, okay.
00:30:23.69\00:30:24.19
That can add stress.
00:30:25.09\00:30:26.19
Of course.
00:30:26.49\00:30:26.76
So tell me something.
00:30:28.29\00:30:29.06
Okay.
00:30:29.69\00:30:29.72
Of course you're married.
00:30:30.56\00:30:31.49
Yes.
00:30:32.06\00:30:34.56
Well, not so good.
00:30:35.13\00:30:35.93
Okay.
00:30:36.06\00:30:38.23
So that can be a
moment of discussion.
00:30:38.63\00:30:41.27
Of discussion.
00:30:41.27\00:30:41.30
What about your job?
00:30:41.80\00:30:42.74
I mean, do you work?
00:30:42.90\00:30:43.84
Well, yeah, I work.
00:30:43.97\00:30:44.67
You like your coworkers?
00:30:44.81\00:30:45.67
You like your coworkers?
00:30:45.87\00:30:46.44
Everything's good?
00:30:46.54\00:30:47.14
Okay.
00:30:47.54\00:30:47.94
Wow.
00:30:50.08\00:30:50.48
Okay.
00:30:50.75\00:30:51.21
All right.
00:30:51.31\00:30:51.58
So...
00:30:51.85\00:30:52.98
What about illnesses?
00:30:53.05\00:30:54.85
Is there anything
going on with you?
00:30:55.25\00:30:56.48
I mean, you know, high
blood pressure, heart disease?
00:30:56.52\00:30:58.22
Well, my doctor did say that
my blood pressure was up pretty
00:30:58.55\00:31:01.22
high, and I'm
trying to get it down.
00:31:01.26\00:31:02.52
All the medical
bills and the side effects.
00:31:02.66\00:31:04.46
All this can add
stress and worry.
00:31:04.93\00:31:07.50
Now that person standing there,
and as we're talking through,
00:31:07.93\00:31:11.03
they're seeing
this cup get full.
00:31:11.03\00:31:12.53
Right?
00:31:12.77\00:31:16.60
Do you and God
have a connection?
00:31:16.97\00:31:18.37
Well, it could be
a little bit better.
00:31:19.14\00:31:21.01
Really and truly, when I go
through a lot, I don't even talk
00:31:21.34\00:31:24.21
to God. Mmm.
00:31:25.71\00:31:25.91
Mmm.
00:31:26.11\00:31:26.28
Okay.
00:31:26.51\00:31:26.92
So the cup is full.
00:31:27.55\00:31:28.25
What about finance?
00:31:28.62\00:31:29.82
Oh, my goodness.
00:31:30.45\00:31:31.59
Well, you say, is everything
good with your bills and stuff?
00:31:31.65\00:31:33.22
You have two months
left at the end of the money.
00:31:33.22\00:31:36.09
Okay.
00:31:37.26\00:31:38.43
The person still standing there.
00:31:38.43\00:31:40.66
Now, they're holding the cup.
00:31:40.90\00:31:41.83
They're holding the cup.
00:31:41.83\00:31:42.60
Right.
00:31:42.63\00:31:48.34
He weighs everything
before it comes your way.
00:31:48.34\00:31:50.64
So now this is measured.
00:31:50.81\00:31:52.27
Yep.
00:31:52.64\00:31:55.41
He is.
00:31:55.51\00:31:55.94
Precise.
00:31:56.21\00:31:56.64
So not just measured.
00:31:56.78\00:31:58.05
He weighs.
00:31:58.15\00:32:02.95
Oh.
00:32:03.15\00:32:07.99
Okay.
00:32:07.99\00:32:08.46
God said that's too much.
00:32:08.62\00:32:09.52
That's too much.
00:32:09.52\00:32:10.13
Okay.
00:32:10.23\00:32:13.56
No, no, no, no.
00:32:14.20\00:32:15.33
We can get that.
00:32:15.63\00:32:16.67
We can get that
down a little more.
00:32:16.70\00:32:17.67
He's measuring it.
00:32:17.87\00:32:23.47
fair.
00:32:23.47\00:32:23.84
It's not fair.
00:32:24.01\00:32:24.67
All right.
00:32:24.94\00:32:25.41
So let's look at, Okay.
00:32:25.71\00:32:27.78
Maybe one more.
00:32:28.18\00:32:29.04
One more.
00:32:29.04\00:32:29.78
One more.
00:32:29.78\00:32:30.28
Okay.
00:32:30.38\00:32:30.75
And then that's good.
00:32:30.95\00:32:32.01
Okay.
00:32:32.61\00:32:36.35
person and we said, God has
measured and weighed your life
00:32:36.35\00:32:40.46
and everything
going on with you.
00:32:40.46\00:32:41.69
All those things
you talked about.
00:32:41.89\00:32:43.06
Yes.
00:32:43.29\00:32:44.16
Everything.
00:32:44.16\00:32:47.60
We have had situations where
we've done this presentation and
00:32:48.16\00:32:51.30
a person just started crying.
00:32:51.30\00:32:52.00
Right there.
00:32:52.07\00:32:52.77
Right there on the spot.
00:32:53.20\00:32:54.30
All the things that you talked
about, that's what I'm going
00:32:54.44\00:32:56.87
through.
00:32:56.87\00:32:57.21
I'm over the top with this.
00:32:58.37\00:33:00.74
And I don't even know why I came
up and I don't know why you guys
00:33:01.24\00:33:05.55
are talking directly to me.
00:33:05.55\00:33:06.82
And of course, that
just brings everything in.
00:33:06.88\00:33:09.15
That God does, He
does measure in way.
00:33:09.25\00:33:11.55
Anything that we're going
through is just by chance.
00:33:12.19\00:33:14.76
And if we can always think about
the fact that God says, is this
00:33:15.09\00:33:18.83
enough?
00:33:18.83\00:33:22.66
But you don't
know you can handle it.
00:33:22.70\00:33:24.23
But if we take the time to go
back to the Father and ask the
00:33:24.43\00:33:29.04
Father to be with us, He
can actually empty this cup back
00:33:29.04\00:33:31.84
out. Amen.
00:33:31.84\00:33:32.61
So, here's the thing.
00:33:33.51\00:33:34.54
So therefore, that's
a great illustration.
00:33:35.04\00:33:36.58
Whatever happens, whatever comes
down the pipe, we can never say,
00:33:36.95\00:33:41.42
Oh Lord, Lord,
Lord, this is too much.
00:33:41.42\00:33:43.32
I can't handle it.
00:33:43.62\00:33:44.45
No, that's a lie.
00:33:44.45\00:33:46.52
1 Corinthians 10.13, the Bible
says that He is faithful not to
00:33:46.99\00:33:53.23
tempt us more than
we are able to bear.
00:33:53.23\00:33:55.20
But will with the
temptation make a way of escape?
00:33:55.40\00:33:58.57
That's a promise.
00:33:59.20\00:34:00.07
And that's one of
the promises that we may
00:34:01.00\00:34:01.87
There's a powerful statement
in Thoughts for the Mount of
00:34:05.57\00:34:09.81
Blessings page 101.
00:34:09.81\00:34:11.35
Because there are people out
there who are stressed out and
00:34:12.28\00:34:16.28
they're worried.
00:34:16.28\00:34:19.79
page 101.
00:34:19.79\00:34:21.02
When we...
00:34:22.02\00:34:22.76
Now, listen to these words.
00:34:22.76\00:34:23.83
This is just so...
00:34:23.93\00:34:25.16
When we really believe that God
loves us and He loves us and He
00:34:25.16\00:34:31.63
loves us and wants to best for
us, then we will cease to worry
00:34:31.63\00:34:37.54
about the future.
00:34:37.54\00:34:38.61
When we really believe that God
loves us, we will cease to worry
00:34:39.71\00:34:44.55
about the future.
00:34:44.55\00:34:45.41
So, if you read Matthew chapter
24, all these things coming up,
00:34:45.91\00:34:50.12
wars and rumors of wars and
earthquakes and pestilence,
there's going to be
00:34:50.12\00:34:53.12
a whole lot of things that we
can stress out about until the
00:34:53.12\00:34:56.06
Second Coming.
00:34:56.06\00:35:01.83
stress spiritually.
00:35:01.83\00:35:03.43
So, this right
here is paramount.
00:35:03.87\00:35:06.57
This lays the foundation.
00:35:06.77\00:35:07.90
That's the study I just quoted.
00:35:08.24\00:35:09.27
That's a 10-page study
about stress and diabetes.
00:35:09.70\00:35:14.24
We can have a plant-based diet
and exercise, but we're stressed
00:35:14.74\00:35:18.71
out, worried, and therefore,
it's going to impact our
00:35:19.18\00:35:23.02
diabetes tremendously.
00:35:23.02\00:35:24.29
So, this is one of the first
things in defeating diabetes
00:35:24.42\00:35:28.92
helps to manage our stress and
take it to the Lord in prayer.
00:35:28.92\00:35:32.96
Oh, what peace we often forfeit.
00:35:33.43\00:35:36.40
Oh, what needless pain we
bear because we do not take
00:35:37.03\00:35:41.57
everything to
the Lord in prayer.
00:35:41.57\00:35:42.47
That's right.
00:35:42.57\00:35:43.07
It's trusting Jesus.
00:35:43.07\00:35:44.07
Yes.
00:35:44.57\00:35:49.08
if we just sit, we argue, not
argue, we fuss with God about
00:35:49.24\00:35:53.11
the trials and the tests.
00:35:53.11\00:35:54.85
God, why do I have
to go through this?
00:35:55.08\00:35:56.58
I don't
understand what's going on.
00:35:56.65\00:35:58.72
But if we can get up and count
the blessings each day of what
00:35:58.72\00:36:02.62
God has done for us and look
back at how he has brought us
00:36:02.62\00:36:07.30
through tremendous times,
the things that we never thought
00:36:07.30\00:36:09.36
we'd get through. When we think
about that, that begins to build
00:36:09.70\00:36:12.63
up the foundation. That's right.
00:36:12.67\00:36:14.70
So, we need the trials because
the trials make us strong as
00:36:14.87\00:36:18.91
we're going
through the next testing.
00:36:18.91\00:36:19.94
Eventually, you get to the point
where you're like, whatever.
00:36:20.11\00:36:23.08
Go ahead on and bring it.
00:36:23.58\00:36:24.91
I'm good, I'm good because you
got the scriptures, you got the
00:36:24.91\00:36:28.42
music, you got the experiences,
all that is going on.
00:36:28.68\00:36:30.92
Okay, so that's the first part.
00:36:31.19\00:36:32.95
We want to get that
out of the way, all right?
00:36:32.95\00:36:34.66
Not get it out of the way, but
make that first and paramount.
00:36:34.76\00:36:37.13
Foundational.
00:36:37.39\00:36:42.33
finish up our presentation for
this evening, the second part of
00:36:42.33\00:36:47.67
it, is now we need
to talk about nutrition.
00:36:47.67\00:36:49.54
When you talk about diabetes and
nutrition, there's one word that
00:36:50.94\00:36:55.01
comes up.
00:36:55.01\00:36:56.48
That word is carbohydrates.
00:36:56.91\00:36:58.41
And so, I remember my teacher, a
grade school teacher back in the
00:37:00.08\00:37:02.98
fourth grade, she told
us, because we kept asking our
00:37:02.98\00:37:05.85
teacher, teacher,
what does this word mean?
00:37:05.85\00:37:07.46
What does this word mean?
00:37:07.92\00:37:09.26
So, our teacher told us in the
fourth grade, she says, class,
00:37:09.29\00:37:12.89
if you don't know what a word
means, take the word apart, try
00:37:12.89\00:37:18.43
to define its components
and then put the definition
00:37:18.43\00:37:20.77
together. I've been
using that for over 16 years.
00:37:21.40\00:37:22.80
That's a great
teacher there, yeah.
00:37:22.80\00:37:23.97
So, carbohydrates.
00:37:23.97\00:37:24.01
Let's first understand and
define what does the word mean.
00:37:25.81\00:37:31.01
Carbo is short for
carbon, a basic element used for
00:37:32.35\00:37:39.02
combustion, carbon.
00:37:39.79\00:37:40.49
So, we need energy for
combustion, work, play, et
00:37:41.06\00:37:44.69
cetera. The other part
of the word is hydrate.
00:37:46.13\00:37:49.30
If a person is dehydrated, that
means they have a lack of water,
00:37:50.30\00:37:55.60
fire hydrate.
00:37:56.27\00:37:56.84
The body is 65% water, hydrate.
00:37:57.61\00:38:01.68
We need energy, carbon.
00:38:02.38\00:38:04.75
Therefore, the
body needs carbohydrate.
00:38:05.48\00:38:10.29
You follow me?
00:38:11.62\00:38:12.15
A lot of people say,
oh, I'm on a low-carb diet.
00:38:12.62\00:38:14.66
Do you really know
what you're saying?
00:38:15.36\00:38:16.99
Carbohydrate.
00:38:18.39\00:38:25.63
of carbohydrates, all right?
00:38:25.63\00:38:28.04
So, I have my wife, because this
is her part of the presentation.
00:38:28.24\00:38:31.67
I'll be interjecting
some things as well.
00:38:32.11\00:38:35.18
So, let's look at the very first
type of carbohydrate, which is
00:38:35.41\00:38:46.02
what, honey?
00:38:46.02\00:38:51.09
carbohydrate and tell me what
would be, if I say to you, the
00:38:51.09\00:38:55.80
very first one is
simple carbohydrate.
00:38:55.80\00:38:58.30
Simple.
00:38:58.30\00:38:58.60
That's number one.
00:38:59.07\00:39:04.51
foods do you think
would be in that group?
00:39:04.51\00:39:06.27
Simple carbohydrate.
00:39:07.91\00:39:08.98
Something that's not maybe man
-made, so something like that.
00:39:09.94\00:39:14.12
Non-processed?
00:39:14.12\00:39:15.05
Yeah, non-processed
is what I mean, yeah.
00:39:15.05\00:39:16.58
Okay.
00:39:16.95\00:39:17.22
All right.
00:39:17.65\00:39:18.65
So, simple carbohydrate, Genesis
1, 29, and when we look at that,
00:39:19.02\00:39:25.26
it's the fruits and
non-starchy vegetables.
00:39:25.26\00:39:28.36
Everybody sees that word simple
and they think that's going to
00:39:29.13\00:39:32.50
be something other than that.
00:39:32.50\00:39:33.70
Is it fruit?
00:39:33.90\00:39:34.70
Fruit and non-starchy.
00:39:35.14\00:39:36.67
It is considered a
simple carbohydrate.
00:39:36.87\00:39:38.61
Simple carbohydrate.
00:39:38.61\00:39:38.64
That's the umbrella.
00:39:39.14\00:39:40.08
Fruit, the first food
group mentioned in the Bible, is
00:39:40.74\00:39:43.81
fruit. It is.
00:39:43.81\00:39:52.29
asparagus, non-starchy, yeah.
00:39:52.29\00:39:53.69
That just means that those
foods don't create any kind of a
00:39:53.69\00:39:57.19
thickness when you cook them.
00:39:57.19\00:39:58.56
Like potatoes would
be considered a starch.
00:39:58.59\00:40:00.76
Or rice.
00:40:01.26\00:40:01.60
That's right.
00:40:01.70\00:40:02.23
That's starch.
00:40:02.90\00:40:03.57
So that's simple.
00:40:03.90\00:40:04.67
So that's simple, okay.
00:40:04.67\00:40:05.67
Now, what's the next type of
carbohydrate, energy, hydrate,
00:40:05.90\00:40:13.71
water, because bodies made
above water and we need energy.
00:40:13.74\00:40:17.31
65%.
00:40:17.31\00:40:18.11
Okay, yeah.
00:40:18.11\00:40:18.65
Complexed carbohydrates.
00:40:19.75\00:40:20.78
Is that like your potatoes
and your rice and your bread?
00:40:20.95\00:40:23.42
Pasta?
00:40:23.69\00:40:24.29
No?
00:40:24.89\00:40:24.95
Okay, okay.
00:40:25.29\00:40:26.22
So we got the complex.
00:40:26.52\00:40:26.76
They're chiming in, honey.
00:40:27.16\00:40:28.42
They're called complex because
any food that you eat that takes
00:40:28.42\00:40:28.46
a longer time to digest or
break down is called complex.
00:40:32.99\00:40:36.60
If you were to take that grain,
a whole wheat grain, and stick
00:40:36.90\00:40:40.87
it under a microscope and look
down inside of it, you would see
00:40:40.87\00:40:43.97
a lot of just like lines and
movements going on because it
00:40:43.97\00:40:48.48
takes a while for the body to
break down a carbohydrate that
00:40:48.48\00:40:52.78
is complexed. Okay.
00:40:52.91\00:40:56.32
that food to be digested.
00:40:56.32\00:40:57.55
Okay.
00:40:57.55\00:40:57.59
In that group.
00:40:58.12\00:40:58.99
In this group.
00:40:59.49\00:41:04.13
be?
00:41:04.13\00:41:04.36
That's not your bread and your
pastas and your potatoes and
00:41:05.49\00:41:08.33
your rice.
00:41:08.33\00:41:10.87
different types.
00:41:10.87\00:41:11.73
Now we meet people who say
things like I don't do no carbs.
00:41:12.03\00:41:14.97
I don't do no bread.
00:41:15.07\00:41:16.04
I don't do potatoes.
00:41:16.04\00:41:17.84
I don't do any of that.
00:41:18.47\00:41:22.74
Oh, okay.
00:41:22.98\00:41:23.31
Like wheat.
00:41:23.65\00:41:24.05
Whole grain.
00:41:24.98\00:41:25.35
Whole grain.
00:41:25.35\00:41:25.75
And legumes.
00:41:25.85\00:41:26.78
Yeah, and legumes.
00:41:26.95\00:41:27.55
Yeah, and legumes, please.
00:41:27.55\00:41:29.35
So that's the complex.
00:41:29.78\00:41:31.69
So now, so we're
dealing with first the good.
00:41:31.92\00:41:35.22
Simple.
00:41:35.82\00:41:36.56
Now we're going
to get to the bad.
00:41:36.66\00:41:37.66
Then we're going
to get to the ugly.
00:41:38.49\00:41:39.63
No, I'm serious.
00:41:40.23\00:41:41.30
So again, just to recap, I'm
going to make, this is critical.
00:41:41.56\00:41:44.43
A lot of people just
don't understand this.
00:41:44.53\00:41:46.13
So the good is first, simple.
00:41:46.94\00:41:50.34
Your fruits and
non-starchy vegetables.
00:41:50.87\00:41:51.77
Fruit and
non-starchy vegetables.
00:41:51.77\00:41:53.54
And complex.
00:41:53.71\00:41:58.81
That's the good.
00:41:59.31\00:42:00.62
Now the next set is the
bad, which is what, honey?
00:42:01.02\00:42:06.02
The refined carbohydrates.
00:42:06.12\00:42:08.02
Refined carbohydrates.
00:42:08.46\00:42:10.09
Now we're getting into When
those foods are now processed.
00:42:10.46\00:42:13.09
Now we're getting into
white bread, white flour.
00:42:13.09\00:42:17.27
White pastas,
or enriched pastas.
00:42:18.23\00:42:19.73
Enriched pastas.
00:42:20.00\00:42:20.90
These are called
the refined group.
00:42:21.00\00:42:23.24
Because now we're talking about,
actually as man, we've gone in
00:42:23.61\00:42:27.18
and changed it up.
00:42:27.18\00:42:27.81
I don't want no whole wheat.
00:42:27.84\00:42:28.84
I want white.
00:42:29.14\00:42:30.11
So when you switch these things
out, now you're talking about
00:42:30.38\00:42:33.88
taking away the major
nutrients that these foods have.
00:42:33.88\00:42:37.29
There's a difference in a whole
wheat bread than a white bread.
00:42:37.65\00:42:41.86
Interesting though, because
as far as you said, enriched.
00:42:41.89\00:42:44.03
That sounds positive.
00:42:44.23\00:42:45.03
It sounds good.
00:42:45.43\00:42:45.76
Also it's enriched.
00:42:45.96\00:42:46.66
It's infused
with something better.
00:42:46.83\00:42:48.16
But it's actually not.
00:42:48.16\00:42:49.43
If I gave you 25 dollars
and take away 20, do you feel
00:42:50.47\00:42:55.77
enriched? No, I don't.
00:42:55.84\00:42:56.57
So one of the things about doing
this process, that one of the
00:42:57.57\00:43:01.54
things that creates the pancreas
to produce insulin, is chromium.
00:43:01.54\00:43:05.98
It's a micronutrient chromium.
00:43:06.58\00:43:08.62
When you enrich whole
wheat, you remove the chromium.
00:43:09.18\00:43:13.52
Therefore, the pancreas cannot
produce insulin as it should.
00:43:13.89\00:43:17.13
That's why this is the bad.
00:43:17.89\00:43:19.89
So the refine.
00:43:20.30\00:43:21.90
We got the good, simple, fruit,
non -starchy vegetables, and the
00:43:22.13\00:43:29.10
complex, the
goose and whole grains.
00:43:29.10\00:43:31.21
Now you have the bad, refined
carbohydrates, and now the last
00:43:31.61\00:43:37.95
group, you have the
ugly, which is what, honey?
00:43:37.95\00:43:41.35
Ultra-refined carbohydrates.
00:43:41.35\00:43:44.55
Ultra-refined.
00:43:44.55\00:43:45.32
Ultra.
00:43:45.45\00:43:45.95
What would that be?
00:43:45.95\00:43:46.59
Okay, go ahead, honey.
00:43:46.89\00:43:48.36
You ready?
00:43:48.69\00:43:49.02
You ready?
00:43:49.02\00:43:49.29
Cookies, cake.
00:43:51.26\00:43:52.26
I like cookies.
00:43:52.53\00:43:53.03
Ice cream.
00:43:53.03\00:43:53.80
Pies.
00:43:53.83\00:43:57.00
Let me, okay.
00:43:57.00\00:43:57.03
Honey?
00:43:58.07\00:43:58.57
Okay, his glasses came off.
00:43:58.93\00:44:01.10
They did.
00:44:01.14\00:44:06.21
got a little,
they're upset right now.
00:44:06.21\00:44:08.14
They're like,
they're like, No, no, no.
00:44:08.24\00:44:10.81
I'm not saying you should never
eat these foods on occasion, but
00:44:10.81\00:44:15.82
these foods have a high degree
of, they classify ultra-refined
00:44:15.82\00:44:20.32
by the NOVA classification.
00:44:20.32\00:44:21.09
They have a high degree of
sodium, salt, sugar, and fried
00:44:22.22\00:44:29.43
foods with
additives and preservatives.
00:44:29.43\00:44:31.50
This constitutes ultra-refined.
00:44:31.80\00:44:34.94
In other words, simple
term will be called junk food.
00:44:35.37\00:44:40.44
Now.
00:44:41.44\00:44:41.94
And some people live on that.
00:44:42.31\00:44:43.61
Absolutely.
00:44:43.85\00:44:49.85
refined.
00:44:49.85\00:44:50.15
Absolutely.
00:44:50.25\00:44:50.89
This is the worst
of the carbohydrates.
00:44:51.09\00:44:53.82
The ultra-refined, it has a
tremendous impact on diabetes
00:44:54.29\00:44:59.69
than any other group.
00:44:59.69\00:45:01.80
Even worse than eating meat.
00:45:02.20\00:45:04.90
Ultra-refined.
00:45:06.37\00:45:08.00
Because it turns glucose, blood
sugar quickly and goes into our
00:45:08.00\00:45:13.41
fat cells.
00:45:13.41\00:45:14.11
So therefore, you
have the ultra -refined.
00:45:15.28\00:45:16.98
And then also, when people say
to us, I don't do carbs at all,
00:45:17.05\00:45:20.15
we say, well, if you go back to
the Bible, first chapter in the
00:45:20.15\00:45:24.55
Bible, God
speaks about the diet.
00:45:25.02\00:45:26.62
He does.
00:45:26.72\00:45:31.29
Well, when you think about that,
you're like, wait a minute, hold
00:45:31.53\00:45:33.33
up.
00:45:33.33\00:45:38.10
Guys, listen up.
00:45:39.37\00:45:40.44
Diet is carbohydrates.
00:45:40.67\00:45:42.74
Genesis 1.29 and Genesis 3.18.
00:45:43.67\00:45:45.67
Now we need to move on.
00:45:46.14\00:45:47.04
So therefore, now having said
that, now we're going to say the
00:45:47.48\00:45:51.55
same thing.
00:45:51.55\00:45:55.52
So here we go.
00:45:56.12\00:45:57.49
So now you have, I'll make
sure the camera picked this.
00:45:59.12\00:46:02.16
I'm going to keep
this foot on this table.
00:46:02.32\00:46:04.03
So make sure the camera
picked that up right there.
00:46:04.49\00:46:07.76
Let me just move
this foot like this.
00:46:08.70\00:46:10.60
Yeah, there we go.
00:46:11.07\00:46:11.90
Okay, yeah.
00:46:12.27\00:46:12.60
Like the guy.
00:46:12.70\00:46:13.17
We have the bloodstream.
00:46:13.27\00:46:14.10
So here we have the bloodstream.
00:46:14.37\00:46:16.87
Inside the bloodstream, the
bloodstream is carrying glucose,
00:46:18.67\00:46:23.31
blood sugar.
00:46:24.48\00:46:25.31
All right?
00:46:25.91\00:46:26.51
Where it's supposed to be.
00:46:26.72\00:46:27.72
So the person just
finished eating complex, simple
00:46:28.12\00:46:33.05
carbohydrates. So now this
glucose is in the bloodstream.
00:46:33.39\00:46:36.06
This glucose that's in the
bloodstream doesn't need to stay
00:46:37.26\00:46:41.66
in the bloodstream.
00:46:41.66\00:46:42.76
Otherwise, it can damage what we
just talked about from head to
00:46:43.00\00:46:45.90
toe. So this glucose
need to go into our cells.
00:46:46.57\00:46:51.71
Because the glucose
goes into our cells.
00:46:54.88\00:46:57.78
Every cell needs
glucose to survive.
00:46:58.35\00:47:03.72
It's energy, right?
00:47:03.72\00:47:04.75
It's energy.
00:47:05.02\00:47:05.59
The brain's
main food is glucose.
00:47:06.69\00:47:10.86
The brain only
weighs 2% of the body.
00:47:11.83\00:47:15.40
Yet, it demands
20% of the glucose.
00:47:16.10\00:47:18.93
The muscles need
glucose to function, whatever.
00:47:20.34\00:47:23.77
So therefore, but wait a minute,
we got a problem because this
00:47:24.21\00:47:31.48
door is locked.
00:47:31.48\00:47:39.72
key.
00:47:39.72\00:47:40.09
Guess what?
00:47:41.02\00:47:41.86
In God's infinite wisdom,
God also manufactured the key.
00:47:42.62\00:47:49.70
Insulin.
00:47:50.20\00:47:50.67
Insulin is the key.
00:47:50.73\00:47:51.40
Insulin is the key.
00:47:51.77\00:47:54.07
It's with this bloodstream.
00:47:54.37\00:47:56.30
So now the insulin goes in,
unlocks the door to the cell,
00:47:56.50\00:48:04.85
and the door opens up, and now
glucose can go inside the cell.
00:48:04.85\00:48:11.59
It needs to
stay inside the cell.
00:48:13.49\00:48:15.12
Now it's off the table, so
the camera didn't pick that up.
00:48:15.66\00:48:18.09
The thing about this
is, this is so critical.
00:48:18.53\00:48:21.66
Because if not, since the
brain's main source of fuel is
00:48:22.43\00:48:29.00
glucose, if there's not enough
glucose in the brain, then you
00:48:29.00\00:48:32.51
can have depression, confusion,
unbalance, even signs of
Alzheimer's disease.
00:48:32.51\00:48:40.05
That's why Alzheimer's disease
is sometimes known as type 3
00:48:40.82\00:48:46.02
diabetes. I hadn't heard that.
00:48:47.16\00:48:48.16
Yes, that's why the key is very
critical for that to take place.
00:48:48.42\00:48:54.10
So you mentioned before we on
air, Greg, about what about type
00:48:54.46\00:48:59.07
1? People who are type 1
diabetics, they don't have a
00:48:59.93\00:49:04.41
key. They're born that way.
00:49:05.11\00:49:06.34
Well, it could be, or in
childhood, that's why it used to
00:49:06.71\00:49:12.11
be called juvenile diabetes.
00:49:12.11\00:49:13.15
Sometimes milk, protein
can damage the beta cells, but
00:49:13.58\00:49:17.52
sometimes when those are type
1, which is less than 10%, they
00:49:17.52\00:49:21.42
don't have a key.
So unlock the door.
00:49:21.92\00:49:24.09
So they have to go to a
locksmith to get a key made for
00:49:24.09\00:49:28.40
them to open up the cell door.
00:49:28.40\00:49:29.60
We talk about that as well in
the conference, but I know time
00:49:29.80\00:49:31.97
is just about gone.
00:49:31.97\00:49:34.04
Exactly, that's the key.
00:49:34.27\00:49:35.40
So therefore, the main thing
is that simple fruit non-starchy
00:49:38.54\00:49:44.61
vegetables, complex whole grain
and legumes, and then the key
00:49:44.61\00:49:51.82
goes in, open up the door, and
the glucose goes in, and then
00:49:52.02\00:49:56.06
now the glucose goes down to its
normal level, therefore we don't
00:49:56.06\00:50:00.43
have no problems at all.
00:50:00.43\00:50:04.70
carbohydrates and everything,
where it just goes right along.
00:50:04.80\00:50:06.77
Right, that's the good, but
not with the bad and the ugly.
00:50:06.77\00:50:09.40
Right, so we're going to
move more to God's original
00:50:09.67\00:50:12.61
plant-based diet. So if I have
diabetes, say, type 2, can it be
00:50:13.21\00:50:18.08
reversed? Yes.
00:50:18.18\00:50:21.78
Can that be reversed?
00:50:21.78\00:50:22.85
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:50:23.28\00:50:24.12
Lifestyle changes.
00:50:24.32\00:50:25.12
Yeah, yeah.
00:50:25.22\00:50:31.83
pancreas, when you're not even
producing a key with type 1,
00:50:31.83\00:50:35.63
there's some things now, that's
where herbal medicine comes into
00:50:36.03\00:50:39.57
play and actually goes in
and manufactures new keys.
00:50:39.57\00:50:46.17
That's incredible.
00:50:46.64\00:50:47.91
Botanical medicine.
00:50:48.51\00:50:49.41
That's amazing.
00:50:49.41\00:50:54.35
keys made.
00:50:54.35\00:50:54.95
Look at God.
00:50:55.05\00:50:55.65
Yes, yes.
00:50:56.12\00:50:56.89
All right, anyway,
time is just about gone.
00:50:57.05\00:50:58.75
So what we're going to do next
is we're going to go through,
00:50:58.89\00:51:02.36
now this is a six-question test.
00:51:02.36\00:51:04.56
Oh, we have in our quiz.
00:51:04.83\00:51:05.73
We have a quiz, yeah.
00:51:05.73\00:51:05.76
I'm looking at my clock here.
00:51:06.86\00:51:08.13
Six questions, whether or not a
person may be a diabetic or may
00:51:08.76\00:51:13.10
be pre -diabetic, all right?
00:51:13.10\00:51:14.34
Six questions.
00:51:14.47\00:51:18.61
Jill and I don't really
want to be on the spot just by
00:51:18.61\00:51:20.98
ourselves. You join us, okay?
00:51:20.98\00:51:21.88
Yeah, okay, yeah, okay.
00:51:22.01\00:51:23.18
So now, of course, the American
Diabetics Association has an
00:51:23.68\00:51:27.98
assessment test too.
00:51:27.98\00:51:29.35
But I think this is going to be
a little bit better because with
00:51:29.62\00:51:32.39
these six questions, it's
based on lifestyle, all right?
00:51:32.39\00:51:35.06
So here we go, all right?
00:51:35.09\00:51:36.83
So let's put question number
one on the screen, and then I'll
00:51:37.56\00:51:40.43
read the question and
then we'll go from there.
00:51:40.43\00:51:41.50
All right, question number one.
00:51:41.60\00:51:42.83
At 100 points, if you feel
stressed and or tend to worry a
00:51:44.53\00:51:53.68
lot on a consistent basis.
00:51:53.68\00:51:54.81
So either 100 points, if not,
then it's a zero, all right?
00:51:56.01\00:51:59.75
That's question number one.
00:51:59.81\00:52:00.62
We just talked about that.
00:52:00.62\00:52:01.82
It can impact diabetes.
00:52:01.88\00:52:03.05
All right, let's go
to question number two.
00:52:03.28\00:52:04.65
Here we go, question number two.
00:52:04.85\00:52:06.65
At 100 points, if you regularly
consume refined carbohydrates.
00:52:07.46\00:52:15.83
And again, for example, what
would that be for someone at
00:52:16.26\00:52:18.40
home? White bread,
white rice, enriched pastas.
00:52:18.53\00:52:21.74
I always thought about even
adding another 100 points if you
00:52:21.90\00:52:25.34
add ultra -refined.
00:52:25.34\00:52:29.44
-refined 100 points, all right?
00:52:29.44\00:52:30.78
Question number three.
00:52:31.05\00:52:31.78
Let's go, question number three.
00:52:31.85\00:52:32.95
All right, here we go.
00:52:32.98\00:52:33.88
At 100 points, if you do not
routinely engage in any type of
00:52:35.22\00:52:42.09
physical activity.
00:52:42.09\00:52:43.39
Now again, this is interesting.
00:52:44.56\00:52:46.16
Physical activity opens the
door to the cell without a key.
00:52:47.30\00:52:54.37
Does it really?
00:52:54.60\00:52:55.34
Oh, wow.
00:52:55.57\00:53:01.68
That is amazing.
00:53:01.68\00:53:03.14
Physical activity.
00:53:03.31\00:53:04.81
That's great.
00:53:04.81\00:53:10.82
points.
00:53:10.82\00:53:11.65
There's no, you know, even
the American College of Sports
00:53:12.22\00:53:16.16
Medicine updated their review
about even engage in some type
00:53:16.16\00:53:21.86
of balance or
flexible, routine, whatever.
00:53:21.86\00:53:25.10
Anything that moves the body,
all right, don't add 100 points.
00:53:25.60\00:53:29.80
But if you don't have any type
of routine education, routine
00:53:29.94\00:53:33.84
physical education
activity, add 100 points.
00:53:33.84\00:53:36.85
All right, let's go
to the next question.
00:53:36.85\00:53:37.98
All right, here we go.
00:53:38.08\00:53:38.58
Next question.
00:53:38.58\00:53:39.31
Okay, add 100 points if you
normally go to bed after 11 o
00:53:39.81\00:53:46.82
'clock.
00:53:46.82\00:53:47.22
Wow.
00:53:47.69\00:53:48.22
The longer you stay up late
at night, the less the pancreas
00:53:48.92\00:53:53.36
produces keys.
00:53:53.36\00:53:55.63
That's incredible.
00:53:55.73\00:53:56.56
All right?
00:53:57.07\00:54:00.60
But the longer you stay up, it's
going to increase the risk of
00:54:00.80\00:54:03.67
diabetes.
00:54:03.67\00:54:03.91
All right?
00:54:04.04\00:54:04.71
All right, let's go
to the next question.
00:54:04.94\00:54:05.81
All right, here we go.
00:54:05.81\00:54:06.47
All right.
00:54:06.64\00:54:07.84
Add 100 points if you typically
eat your last meal after 7 p.m.
00:54:08.01\00:54:14.98
The later we eat, it disturbs
our sleep, and the quality of
00:54:15.92\00:54:20.62
sleep is at a low quality and
increases the risk of diabetes.
00:54:20.62\00:54:24.39
All right?
00:54:24.49\00:54:24.96
Let's go to the next question.
00:54:25.19\00:54:26.19
All right, here we go.
00:54:26.29\00:54:27.13
Okay.
00:54:27.36\00:54:27.83
Now, this may
sting a little bit.
00:54:28.13\00:54:30.00
At 100 points, women, if your
waist is 35 inches or more, men,
00:54:32.90\00:54:42.68
if your waist is 40 inches or
more, women tend to gain their
00:54:42.68\00:54:47.65
weight in hips and
thighs, men in the stomach.
00:54:47.65\00:54:49.68
All right?
00:54:49.92\00:54:52.49
So the waist right here.
00:54:53.02\00:54:54.02
So any time the waist is
large, it increases the risk of
00:54:54.39\00:54:58.06
diabetes as well.
00:54:58.06\00:54:58.43
That's amazing.
00:54:58.49\00:54:58.73
So do all that.
00:54:59.03\00:55:00.13
That's the sixth question.
00:55:00.30\00:55:01.16
If you add that up, if you get
at least about 300 points, you
00:55:01.80\00:55:05.47
add a moderate risk.
00:55:05.47\00:55:06.43
400 points, high risk.
00:55:06.90\00:55:09.00
500 points or more, extremely
high risk that you may be either
00:55:09.70\00:55:16.08
a prediabetic or a diabetic.
00:55:16.08\00:55:18.61
Of course, go to your doctor and
find out for sure a foster blood
00:55:19.01\00:55:22.45
test.
00:55:22.45\00:55:26.89
know it and has
never been tested.
00:55:26.89\00:55:28.42
That's why we did that
presentation right there, those
00:55:28.72\00:55:31.86
questions. All right?
00:55:32.19\00:55:35.83
ahead.
00:55:35.83\00:55:39.67
stress, right?
00:55:39.67\00:55:40.57
I do think that I'm
stressed quite a bit.
00:55:40.57\00:55:43.07
So I put that down.
00:55:43.10\00:55:44.01
So 100 points.
00:55:44.04\00:55:44.61
But after that, I didn't...
00:55:44.71\00:55:46.04
Yeah, so you're a very...
00:55:46.04\00:55:48.04
But I still need to work on
the stress aspect though, right?
00:55:48.04\00:55:50.51
Because stress, like you said in
the very beginning, that's a big
00:55:50.58\00:55:52.91
part.
00:55:52.91\00:55:54.88
It's good to eat a plant-based
diet and have regular exercise.
00:55:55.05\00:55:58.09
Exercise, yeah.
00:55:58.72\00:55:59.09
Okay, yeah.
00:55:59.39\00:55:59.79
I had 100 as well.
00:56:00.42\00:56:01.46
Okay.
00:56:01.89\00:56:02.22
Oh, good.
00:56:02.22\00:56:04.33
So this is good.
00:56:05.59\00:56:07.03
So we'll have to
work on that together.
00:56:07.23\00:56:08.86
That's right.
00:56:09.03\00:56:12.97
So absolutely.
00:56:13.37\00:56:18.57
Curtis and Paula Aikens.
00:56:18.57\00:56:19.51
Maybe you're
dealing with diabetes.
00:56:19.57\00:56:20.94
Maybe you have questions.
00:56:21.08\00:56:22.18
Maybe you want them to come
to your church or community.
00:56:22.28\00:56:24.51
You can email them at cakens.scc
-sda.org or you can call them
00:56:25.08\00:56:32.25
That's 256-683-5198.
00:56:32.75\00:56:38.29
That's 256-683-5198.
00:56:38.56\00:56:43.26
We've got a full
second hour coming up.
00:56:43.40\00:56:44.77
We do, and talking about that
phone number, Curtis and Paula,
00:56:44.80\00:56:47.87
they can actually reach you
on that number if they have more
00:56:47.87\00:56:50.84
interest in the retreat center
and supporting that center
because what you're just
00:56:50.84\00:56:54.61
teaching us right here today
is just what you'd be teaching,
00:56:54.61\00:56:57.88
stuff like that,
at the retreat center.
00:56:57.88\00:56:59.38
So praise the Lord for that.
00:56:59.75\00:57:00.72
We have some upcoming events.
00:57:00.72\00:57:03.75
We don't have time for that.
00:57:03.95\00:57:07.82
So I'll be going to
the next couple of months.
00:57:07.99\00:57:09.46
Got some great
things in the kitchen, too.
00:57:10.19\00:57:11.49
Go ahead, Paula.
00:57:11.53\00:57:13.33
Mexican cuisine.
00:57:13.50\00:57:16.80
carbohydrates, we're going
to actually take and put them to
00:57:16.80\00:57:18.97
the test for the
complex and the simple group.
00:57:18.97\00:57:20.94
Mexican cuisine.
00:57:21.57\00:57:22.50
We're going to be
doing some mock steak tacos.
00:57:22.60\00:57:25.84
We're going to do
some Mexican rice.
00:57:26.34\00:57:29.21
We're going to do some
guacamole, some black bean
00:57:29.21\00:57:33.28
salsa. Amen.
00:57:34.32\00:57:34.68
Simple and complex.
00:57:35.18\00:57:36.25
We love you both.
00:57:36.65\00:57:37.45
Thank you for being here.
00:57:37.59\00:57:38.75
Looking forward
to the second hour.
00:57:38.79\00:57:40.42
We will see you next time.
00:57:40.99\00:57:42.12
