The following program presents principles designed 00:00:01.01\00:00:03.00 to promote good health and is not intended to take 00:00:03.01\00:00:05.45 the place of personalized professional care. 00:00:05.46\00:00:07.83 The opinions and ideas expressed 00:00:07.84\00:00:09.48 are those of the speaker. 00:00:09.49\00:00:10.89 Viewers are encouraged to draw their own conclusions 00:00:10.90\00:00:13.40 about the information presented. 00:00:13.41\00:00:17.08 I'm Dr. James Marcum. Are you interested 00:00:17.09\00:00:20.19 in discovering the reason why? 00:00:20.20\00:00:22.62 You want solutions to your healthcare problem. 00:00:22.63\00:00:25.37 Are you tired of taking medications? 00:00:25.38\00:00:28.13 Well, you're about to be given 00:00:28.14\00:00:30.03 the "Ultimate Prescription." 00:00:30.04\00:00:31.32 I've always found it interesting that on day sixth 00:00:31.33\00:00:33.44 of creation week, God didn't create man first. 00:00:33.45\00:00:37.21 Man wasn't there to welcome the animals into existence. 00:00:37.22\00:00:39.78 As a matter of fact, it was the other way around. 00:00:39.79\00:00:42.18 The animals were there 00:00:42.19\00:00:43.45 to welcome man into existence. 00:00:43.46\00:00:45.79 I believe there's a reason for that. 00:00:45.80\00:00:47.87 Would you agree, Dr. Marcum? 00:00:47.88\00:00:49.71 I think there's a reason for everything 00:00:49.72\00:00:51.93 that God did. Amen. 00:00:51.94\00:00:54.13 The exact reason we can speculate on for sure, 00:00:54.14\00:00:57.17 but as we look back at the creation week, 00:00:57.18\00:00:59.91 we've seen that each one of these things 00:00:59.92\00:01:01.29 have health implications. Yes. 00:01:01.30\00:01:02.93 Changing our chemistry. Yeah. 00:01:02.94\00:01:04.94 So what hasn't been done so far? 00:01:04.95\00:01:06.60 We've talked some of the things 00:01:06.61\00:01:07.64 in previous programs about rest 00:01:07.65\00:01:09.59 and water and all those great things. 00:01:09.60\00:01:11.28 And we are calling these laws 00:01:11.29\00:01:12.79 but not calling them ideas or good ideas. 00:01:12.80\00:01:14.90 We're calling them laws. 00:01:14.91\00:01:16.00 So what law was in place on this day? 00:01:16.01\00:01:19.09 And, you know, God never changes. 00:01:19.10\00:01:20.51 So what he sets up is gonna continue forward. Exactly. 00:01:20.52\00:01:23.50 So one thought that I had 00:01:23.51\00:01:25.29 was that maybe these animals 00:01:25.30\00:01:27.24 were placed here for us for a reason. 00:01:27.25\00:01:30.33 So when we got here thereafter, 00:01:30.34\00:01:32.39 we could have a relationship. 00:01:32.40\00:01:34.38 So may be part of our chemistry 00:01:34.39\00:01:36.79 is dependent on relationships. 00:01:36.80\00:01:39.10 You know in retrospect, it's easy 00:01:39.11\00:01:40.73 because we can see, you know, 00:01:40.74\00:01:42.48 what's happening with relationships. Yeah. 00:01:42.49\00:01:44.40 And what I'm trying to introduce in this program 00:01:44.41\00:01:46.53 "The Ultimate Prescription" is that part of medical care 00:01:46.54\00:01:49.73 depends on a relationship with the great physician. 00:01:49.74\00:01:52.67 And all of those are healers. 00:01:52.68\00:01:54.34 And there's a place for modern medicine. 00:01:54.35\00:01:55.97 There's a place for lifestyle, 00:01:55.98\00:01:57.49 but it's that relationship 00:01:57.50\00:01:58.65 with the great physician that makes it all happen. 00:01:58.66\00:02:01.99 Well, maybe the animals were here 00:02:02.00\00:02:03.73 so when we came thereafter 00:02:03.74\00:02:05.72 we could have a relationship. Yes. 00:02:05.73\00:02:07.70 And a relationship based on love and care. 00:02:07.71\00:02:10.99 And may be this would be something 00:02:11.00\00:02:12.54 very important for our chemistry 00:02:12.55\00:02:14.48 and for us to understand this universal concept 00:02:14.49\00:02:18.12 which governs the universe and that's concept of love. 00:02:18.13\00:02:21.40 The very first thing that God 00:02:21.41\00:02:23.87 did for Adam and Eve was say, 00:02:23.88\00:02:27.45 "Okay, here you are, welcome to the world 00:02:27.46\00:02:30.05 and by the way, love them. 00:02:30.06\00:02:32.87 Take care of them, the animals. 00:02:32.88\00:02:34.56 Love each other. But care for the animals." 00:02:34.57\00:02:36.85 So I think we're seeing a law here 00:02:36.86\00:02:38.74 that says if you want to be healthy, 00:02:38.75\00:02:41.31 God's way, if you want to take part 00:02:41.32\00:02:43.12 in God's health law, 00:02:43.13\00:02:45.34 you need to be loving something. 00:02:45.35\00:02:46.85 Yes, and I think there is good medicine 00:02:46.86\00:02:49.11 and good scientific studies behind this. Yes. 00:02:49.12\00:02:52.58 We've had several studies done that show 00:02:52.59\00:02:54.38 that people that love each other 00:02:54.39\00:02:56.13 have less infections, have less depression. Yes. 00:02:56.14\00:02:59.62 They do better. In fact, there's a syndrome 00:02:59.63\00:03:01.92 in cardiology called the "Broken heart syndrome." 00:03:01.93\00:03:04.95 That's when a loved one dies, 00:03:04.96\00:03:06.54 all the sudden this extra stress, 00:03:06.55\00:03:08.22 this extra adrenaline causes heart attacks 00:03:08.23\00:03:10.83 in previously normal hearts. Wow. 00:03:10.84\00:03:13.05 These arteries, spasm down, they have a heart attack. 00:03:13.06\00:03:15.69 And it wasn't anything that happened 00:03:15.70\00:03:16.92 till this new stress that comes 00:03:16.93\00:03:19.54 from that broken relationship. 00:03:19.55\00:03:20.80 That loss of love. 00:03:20.81\00:03:22.36 So loss of love can damage the body. 00:03:22.37\00:03:24.92 Just--similarly we talked about all these things 00:03:24.93\00:03:27.06 that we don't have hurt us, 00:03:27.07\00:03:28.69 all the things that we do have 00:03:28.70\00:03:30.28 based on God's laws help us. Yes. 00:03:30.29\00:03:32.34 So if no love hurts us, 00:03:32.35\00:03:34.37 having love in our life helps us. 00:03:34.38\00:03:36.72 And if you follow these, 00:03:36.73\00:03:37.80 if this is what the universe is based on, 00:03:37.81\00:03:40.27 this is perhaps the greatest 00:03:40.28\00:03:42.58 health treatment we have. Yes. 00:03:42.59\00:03:44.56 Ever. This treatment of love. God is love. 00:03:44.57\00:03:47.77 To know God is to, you know, to love God. 00:03:47.78\00:03:50.00 So if we have love in our life, 00:03:50.01\00:03:51.56 maybe that's the true pathway to healing. 00:03:51.57\00:03:53.90 That's part of the "Ultimate Prescription." 00:03:53.91\00:03:55.94 This is what we should be talking about 00:03:55.95\00:03:57.33 more than stents, which is important, 00:03:57.34\00:03:59.49 more than bypasses, more than pacemakers, 00:03:59.50\00:04:01.58 more than lifestyle, more than exercise, 00:04:01.59\00:04:04.53 and all these things are important. 00:04:04.54\00:04:06.31 But without love in a treatment plan, 00:04:06.32\00:04:08.74 without love guiding the way, 00:04:08.75\00:04:10.71 changing our chemistry what do we really have? Yes. 00:04:10.72\00:04:13.85 Emptiness. So when we think about 00:04:13.86\00:04:16.48 what we've been talking about love is a treatment, 00:04:16.49\00:04:18.83 the ultimate treatment, 00:04:18.84\00:04:19.96 but similarly lack of love damages us. 00:04:19.97\00:04:24.20 Lack of water damages us. 00:04:24.21\00:04:26.16 Lack of sleep damages us. 00:04:26.17\00:04:27.97 Lack of eating the right food damages us. 00:04:27.98\00:04:30.39 We break these universal laws 00:04:30.40\00:04:32.26 that God based everything on, damage stress occurs. 00:04:32.27\00:04:35.67 This stress damages our genetics, 00:04:35.68\00:04:37.90 damages our chemistry, 00:04:37.91\00:04:39.63 sooner or later this damage leads to symptoms, 00:04:39.64\00:04:42.13 symptoms leads to modern medicine. Yes, yes. 00:04:42.14\00:04:44.71 But that's not the way necessarily it should be. 00:04:44.72\00:04:47.75 And yet that's what we're hearing all the time. 00:04:47.76\00:04:50.27 And there're some great people out there, 00:04:50.28\00:04:52.13 they're talking about the acute care medicine. 00:04:52.14\00:04:54.40 There're some great people out there talking about 00:04:54.41\00:04:56.39 how to improve our lifestyle, how to eat better. 00:04:56.40\00:04:58.81 But what I want to bring to the table is the key, 00:04:58.82\00:05:01.56 this love relationship with each other, with God. 00:05:01.57\00:05:05.32 This is a thing we must have. 00:05:05.33\00:05:07.00 And we can't withdraw from love, 00:05:07.01\00:05:08.74 we must move to love. 00:05:08.75\00:05:10.66 Without this nothing else is worthwhile. 00:05:10.67\00:05:13.36 Now let me give you another example, Charles. 00:05:13.37\00:05:16.06 We talked about the broken heart syndrome. Yes. 00:05:16.07\00:05:17.95 I've two dogs at home. Yes. 00:05:17.96\00:05:20.00 Max and Daffy. Yes. 00:05:20.01\00:05:21.91 I love those dogs with all my heart. 00:05:21.92\00:05:24.92 When I come home, no matter 00:05:24.93\00:05:26.62 what's happened to my day, you know, 00:05:26.63\00:05:28.62 it's been the worst day ever or the best day ever, 00:05:28.63\00:05:30.85 they always run out there to greet me. 00:05:30.86\00:05:32.55 They run right to the door. 00:05:32.56\00:05:33.83 They follow me around the house wherever I go. 00:05:33.84\00:05:36.45 They lick me to death. 00:05:36.46\00:05:37.98 They really do love me. Yes. 00:05:37.99\00:05:39.84 And I love them back. 00:05:39.85\00:05:41.70 And when I see them, 00:05:41.71\00:05:43.02 it just does something special in my heart. 00:05:43.03\00:05:46.21 It makes my chemistry better. 00:05:46.22\00:05:47.50 My heart slows down. 00:05:47.51\00:05:48.64 No matter how bad the day was things start to improve. 00:05:48.65\00:05:52.28 I start feeling better in that relationship because, 00:05:52.29\00:05:54.91 you know, I know they're gonna be there. 00:05:54.92\00:05:56.40 They're there for me. 00:05:56.41\00:05:57.88 Now similarly we had another relationship 00:05:57.89\00:06:00.40 that's more important than the Max and Daffy relationship. 00:06:00.41\00:06:03.13 That can serve that same chemical benefit 00:06:03.14\00:06:05.98 and accomplish much more. 00:06:05.99\00:06:07.98 And that's in our relationship 00:06:07.99\00:06:09.36 with our Heavenly Father. 00:06:09.37\00:06:10.92 Now I'm not saying the relationships 00:06:10.93\00:06:12.26 with dogs and cats and wives and spouses 00:06:12.27\00:06:15.84 and friends aren't important. 00:06:15.85\00:06:17.07 'Cause I think they all add to it. 00:06:17.08\00:06:18.82 But that relationship, which we were made 00:06:18.83\00:06:20.64 to have at creation, God was setting it up 00:06:20.65\00:06:23.60 with the animals to teach us 00:06:23.61\00:06:24.84 that we have to love each other. 00:06:24.85\00:06:26.41 But as He set that love concept out there, 00:06:26.42\00:06:29.72 then we start to realize it. 00:06:29.73\00:06:31.00 This is the real path. 00:06:31.01\00:06:32.34 This is what the universe is governed on. 00:06:32.35\00:06:34.13 So if the universe is governed on it, 00:06:34.14\00:06:35.75 our health certainly has to be tied into this. 00:06:35.76\00:06:38.34 Yes, absolutely. That is so important 00:06:38.35\00:06:40.62 to keep in mind that love is part of the prescription. 00:06:40.63\00:06:44.47 Love is part of that "Ultimate Prescription." 00:06:44.48\00:06:47.05 I know a film crew that was doing a project 00:06:47.06\00:06:51.10 for a Christian television program. 00:06:51.11\00:06:54.47 And they were doing a show about suicide. 00:06:54.48\00:06:58.24 And they were traveling up to San Francisco. 00:06:58.25\00:07:00.66 Now I don't want to say that San Francisco 00:07:00.67\00:07:03.54 is a place where people go to die 00:07:03.55\00:07:05.04 but there is a bridge there 00:07:05.05\00:07:06.76 that a lot of people use for that purpose. 00:07:06.77\00:07:08.55 The Golden Gate Bridge seems to be suicide central 00:07:08.56\00:07:11.09 for that part of the world. 00:07:11.10\00:07:13.28 And a lot of people go and they jump off the bridge. 00:07:13.29\00:07:15.46 Well, while this film crew was up there 00:07:15.47\00:07:17.82 doing some filming, they were actually interviewing 00:07:17.83\00:07:20.09 some people in the gate house of the Golden Gate Bridge. 00:07:20.10\00:07:24.65 And while the cameras were rolling, 00:07:24.66\00:07:26.78 the sound was being picked up. 00:07:26.79\00:07:28.13 A call came in on the radio 00:07:28.14\00:07:30.43 that says we have a jumper mid span. 00:07:30.44\00:07:32.82 We have a jumper mid span. 00:07:32.83\00:07:34.94 While they were filming a show about suicide, 00:07:34.95\00:07:37.56 apparently a small car drove halfway across the bridge, 00:07:37.57\00:07:41.36 stopped, a gentleman got out, 00:07:41.37\00:07:43.16 walked across the lanes, 00:07:43.17\00:07:44.22 they say he went up to the railing there, 00:07:44.23\00:07:47.33 stood there for just a moment 00:07:47.34\00:07:49.05 and then jumped and died. 00:07:49.06\00:07:51.87 And what was significant about this was 00:07:51.88\00:07:53.96 what they found in the car, 00:07:53.97\00:07:56.67 this young man, bless his heart. 00:07:56.68\00:07:59.41 This young man left a note in the car. 00:07:59.42\00:08:02.36 And here's what the note said, 00:08:02.37\00:08:04.25 "Love is someone to love, something to do 00:08:04.26\00:08:09.55 and something to look forward to." 00:08:09.56\00:08:12.21 and apparently he didn't have those three things, 00:08:12.22\00:08:15.22 someone to love, something to do 00:08:15.23\00:08:18.45 and something to look forward to. 00:08:18.46\00:08:20.76 Did you know that on that day of creation 00:08:20.77\00:08:23.95 when God brought animals into the lives of Adam and Eve, 00:08:23.96\00:08:29.06 He was fulfilling all three. 00:08:29.07\00:08:30.49 Something to do, take care of the animals. Right. 00:08:30.50\00:08:33.00 Something to look forward to, new births, 00:08:33.01\00:08:36.48 new babies coming along with the animals, 00:08:36.49\00:08:38.90 new flocks to enjoy, 00:08:38.91\00:08:40.52 new animals to bring into your life. 00:08:40.53\00:08:42.93 And someone to love, 00:08:42.94\00:08:44.54 there was this whole world full of animals to love. 00:08:44.55\00:08:48.97 And of course one of those animals was Eve 00:08:48.98\00:08:51.17 who came along very shortly after that. 00:08:51.18\00:08:53.21 So Adam and Eve had the fulfillment 00:08:53.22\00:08:56.51 of the three basic needs of that man 00:08:56.52\00:08:58.99 that jumped off the bridge. And I would have to say that 00:08:59.00\00:09:01.13 that's the need for all of us. 00:09:01.14\00:09:02.47 Someone to love, something to do 00:09:02.48\00:09:05.02 and something to look forward to. 00:09:05.03\00:09:06.52 And if we don't have those in our lives, 00:09:06.53\00:09:08.80 there are consequences. 00:09:08.81\00:09:10.04 Tell us about some of those consequences. 00:09:10.05\00:09:11.41 Yeah. Well, we've already heard 00:09:11.42\00:09:12.73 about the broken heart syndrome. Yes. 00:09:12.74\00:09:14.65 We're love removed, all the sudden damage. 00:09:14.66\00:09:17.39 We of course, it's obvious that people 00:09:17.40\00:09:19.30 that don't have love in their life 00:09:19.31\00:09:20.55 they have higher incidences of depression. 00:09:20.56\00:09:23.03 They have higher incidence of, as you spoke, of suicide. 00:09:23.04\00:09:26.11 They have higher incidences of hurting themselves 00:09:26.12\00:09:28.10 and having harmful behavior to substitute for the love. 00:09:28.11\00:09:31.78 They look for love that substitutes, 00:09:31.79\00:09:33.62 in sometimes all the wrong places. 00:09:33.63\00:09:35.87 Some people turn to alcohol, 00:09:35.88\00:09:37.82 some people turn to drugs. 00:09:37.83\00:09:39.56 Some people even take prescription medications 00:09:39.57\00:09:41.72 like the narcotics to find that missing, 00:09:41.73\00:09:44.23 that missing element that's missing in their life, 00:09:44.24\00:09:46.64 that one thing that they were designed to have, 00:09:46.65\00:09:48.85 they don't have so they try to substitute for us. 00:09:48.86\00:09:51.57 It's like the evil one has a substitute 00:09:51.58\00:09:54.03 for everything good that God created. 00:09:54.04\00:09:55.84 Now every day of creation, we find a substitute for it. 00:09:55.85\00:09:58.56 Now how would you feel if you came to the office 00:09:58.57\00:10:01.67 and you came with a bunch of symptoms? 00:10:01.68\00:10:04.17 And I came up to you, Charles, 00:10:04.18\00:10:06.38 and you said I've seen three or four other doctors 00:10:06.39\00:10:08.30 and this doctor recommends this 00:10:08.31\00:10:09.67 and this doctor recommends that. 00:10:09.68\00:10:11.19 And I came up, talked to you 00:10:11.20\00:10:12.49 and examined you, and, Charles, 00:10:12.50\00:10:13.93 I wrote this prescription, 00:10:13.94\00:10:15.79 I think you need this 00:10:15.80\00:10:16.96 and I wrote love three times a day 00:10:16.97\00:10:18.75 and handed it to you. 00:10:18.76\00:10:20.05 How would you take that? Well-- 00:10:20.06\00:10:22.97 And this is important because 00:10:22.98\00:10:24.93 I'm asking how you would take it because 00:10:24.94\00:10:26.68 we want to know how the world will take this? 00:10:26.69\00:10:28.85 How will they feel when we talk about, 00:10:28.86\00:10:30.59 you know, writing a prescription for love? 00:10:30.60\00:10:32.29 How would you feel? 00:10:32.30\00:10:33.36 Would you feel like this guy is bonkers? 00:10:33.37\00:10:34.99 This is not what I usually get 00:10:35.00\00:10:36.63 when I come to see a doctor. 00:10:36.64\00:10:37.79 I mean, how can I take love, 00:10:37.80\00:10:40.93 how do I--what kind of dosage of love can I find? Right. 00:10:40.94\00:10:43.92 What does this mean, love? 00:10:43.93\00:10:46.85 There is a problem right there. 00:10:46.86\00:10:48.54 If we don't know what Dr. Marcum says 00:10:48.55\00:10:51.11 when he says you need love three times a day. 00:10:51.12\00:10:53.86 We're not sure what that means. Okay. 00:10:53.87\00:10:55.80 We're having a problem with our health I would say. 00:10:55.81\00:10:58.19 What if the next thing I said is I prove the data to you. 00:10:58.20\00:11:00.99 I showed you these studies 00:11:01.00\00:11:02.08 where people that have love in their life do better. 00:11:02.09\00:11:04.24 And I explained to you, Charles, 00:11:04.25\00:11:05.95 love is putting someone else's interest 00:11:05.96\00:11:08.85 above your own. Okay. 00:11:08.86\00:11:10.24 And then I said but to really understand love, 00:11:10.25\00:11:12.19 you have to know the source of love 00:11:12.20\00:11:14.06 and enter into a relationship with the inventor of love, 00:11:14.07\00:11:17.20 the one that uses love to run the universe. 00:11:17.21\00:11:19.36 What if I then told you that, how would you respond? 00:11:19.37\00:11:21.66 That makes a little bit more sense, 00:11:21.67\00:11:23.06 you're giving me something to do, 00:11:23.07\00:11:25.60 some way of responding to a prescription for love. 00:11:25.61\00:11:28.74 And then what if I did next, 00:11:28.75\00:11:30.20 what if I said, Charles, as part of this prescription 00:11:30.21\00:11:33.15 just like taking care of the animals on earth, 00:11:33.16\00:11:35.01 I want you to serve, serve other people. 00:11:35.02\00:11:38.15 I want you to learn about the creator of love 00:11:38.16\00:11:41.17 by praying and maybe reading scriptures 00:11:41.18\00:11:43.35 and doing other things. 00:11:43.36\00:11:44.59 And I want this-- you to use this in your life 00:11:44.60\00:11:47.04 to have power to learn more 00:11:47.05\00:11:48.58 and to come into these other truths. 00:11:48.59\00:11:50.58 What if I said that at this point 00:11:50.59\00:11:52.01 and wrote you a prescription for that? 00:11:52.02\00:11:53.17 Would you feel cheated? 00:11:53.18\00:11:54.58 I don't think at that point I would feel cheated 00:11:54.59\00:11:56.80 because I am trusting you to know this 00:11:56.81\00:11:59.04 because you are coming from a biblical standpoint. 00:11:59.05\00:12:02.12 You are coming from a power that is beyond you. Right. 00:12:02.13\00:12:06.24 You're saying, look, we're tapping into something here 00:12:06.25\00:12:09.10 that helps me that helps you. 00:12:09.11\00:12:11.06 We're tapping into something here 00:12:11.07\00:12:12.40 that is beyond modern science. 00:12:12.41\00:12:14.77 We're tapping into something here that created me. 00:12:14.78\00:12:17.39 It would begin to make sense if you put it that way. 00:12:17.40\00:12:19.49 And then if I said, you know, 00:12:19.50\00:12:20.51 modern medicine is a place to put out the fire, 00:12:20.52\00:12:23.02 but we wanna get at what caused the fire. 00:12:23.03\00:12:25.44 And I started moving this approach, 00:12:25.45\00:12:27.47 would it make sense to you? 00:12:27.48\00:12:28.75 And the next question is will it 00:12:28.76\00:12:30.27 make sense to the world? 00:12:30.28\00:12:31.39 As we spread this type of concept 00:12:31.40\00:12:33.47 from person to person. 00:12:33.48\00:12:34.51 There's other ways to change our chemistry 00:12:34.52\00:12:36.56 other than lots of pills even though that is needed. 00:12:36.57\00:12:38.89 But the devil is gonna step in. 00:12:38.90\00:12:40.89 The devil is gonna say, you know, 00:12:40.90\00:12:42.10 "Huh, love, why no one loves you. 00:12:42.11\00:12:46.33 Look at the way the world is treating you. 00:12:46.34\00:12:47.94 No one is being kind to you, 00:12:47.95\00:12:49.52 no one is giving you any kind of respect. 00:12:49.53\00:12:53.29 How can love help?" Because we-- 00:12:53.30\00:12:55.70 I have to say in this world, 00:12:55.71\00:12:57.77 we are not used to receiving too much love. 00:12:57.78\00:13:01.27 Are you saying that even under those circumstances, 00:13:01.28\00:13:04.00 I should follow your prescription? 00:13:04.01\00:13:05.39 Are you saying I should step out 00:13:05.40\00:13:07.15 from a world that does not love me and love it back? 00:13:07.16\00:13:11.00 Exactly. Unless we see the big picture. Yes. 00:13:11.01\00:13:14.62 The picture that we're designed to live 00:13:14.63\00:13:16.72 and understand where the source of love is, 00:13:16.73\00:13:18.73 the Heavenly Father. This is a gigantic prescription, 00:13:18.74\00:13:22.27 a gigantic way to heal us. 00:13:22.28\00:13:24.96 Well, we'll take a short break 00:13:24.97\00:13:25.99 and when we come back, more about love 00:13:26.00\00:13:27.86 and answering your questions. 00:13:27.87\00:13:29.15 So stay right where you are. 00:13:29.16\00:13:30.99
