We're talking about
matters of the heart today,
00:00:01.01\00:00:02.74
which is a good thing as we
have a cardiologist with us.
00:00:02.75\00:00:05.70
In the creation
story, we come across day six
00:00:05.71\00:00:09.64
and day six was
an important day,
00:00:09.65\00:00:11.49
of course, because man appeared.
00:00:11.50\00:00:12.94
But before man
came in, man and woman,
00:00:12.95\00:00:16.05
God created a whole
world full of animals
00:00:16.06\00:00:19.10
and we've decided that
God did that on purpose
00:00:19.11\00:00:22.45
that we need to
have something to love.
00:00:22.46\00:00:25.09
Adam had
something to love the moment
00:00:25.10\00:00:26.57
he appeared on this earth,
00:00:26.58\00:00:28.42
there was
something for him to love.
00:00:28.43\00:00:30.44
And Dr. Marcum, you made it
clear that loving something,
00:00:30.45\00:00:34.29
being loving, acting loving,
00:00:34.30\00:00:37.90
is helpful to our
health, that's very important.
00:00:37.91\00:00:40.06
It's helpful to our chemistry,
science has proven it.
00:00:40.07\00:00:42.98
But conversely, when we
don't have love in our life,
00:00:42.99\00:00:46.83
we have chronic-- we can
have chronic problems as well.
00:00:46.84\00:00:49.51
So love is a
treatment for disease
00:00:49.52\00:00:52.04
and love helps prevent
disease. But more than that,
00:00:52.05\00:00:55.19
love is the path
to ultimate healing.
00:00:55.20\00:00:58.30
I am just
continually amazed at God
00:00:58.31\00:01:00.71
and what He has done for
us and how He has shown us
00:01:00.72\00:01:05.49
during that creation week,
what we need to be healthy,
00:01:05.50\00:01:08.42
it's all there, God's
health plan, we call it.
00:01:08.43\00:01:10.55
Yeah. It's
incredible as you look back
00:01:10.56\00:01:13.65
and now we have
the science that proves
00:01:13.66\00:01:15.13
all these laws and
principles that God gave us.
00:01:15.14\00:01:18.07
They're true over
and over and again.
00:01:18.08\00:01:20.05
And as we plug into
this, that's where we start
00:01:20.06\00:01:22.46
to get the power to do--
make our health a lot better.
00:01:22.47\00:01:25.27
Yes. And it's just
very exciting and I'm glad
00:01:25.28\00:01:27.63
we are able to share
this with many more people
00:01:27.64\00:01:29.94
'cause people
are-- they want to know.
00:01:29.95\00:01:31.85
They want to be
healthy. They want to feel well.
00:01:31.86\00:01:33.83
They don't want unnecessarily
take a lot of pills.
00:01:33.84\00:01:36.96
They don't want to
have a lot of procedures.
00:01:36.97\00:01:38.54
They want to feel
well. And more than that,
00:01:38.55\00:01:41.22
people long to be
loved. They long to be
00:01:41.23\00:01:44.97
with the source of
love, which is our creator.
00:01:44.98\00:01:47.22
That's a basic
inherent principle that's in us.
00:01:47.23\00:01:51.05
We long to be with our creator.
00:01:51.06\00:01:52.79
We long to have that love
'cause we were made that way.
00:01:52.80\00:01:56.01
Yeah. And when
everything in this world
00:01:56.02\00:01:57.64
has pulled us away from that,
the longing is still there.
00:01:57.65\00:02:00.89
We have that desire,
00:02:00.90\00:02:01.90
but it's our choice
to move this direction.
00:02:01.91\00:02:04.06
And can we safely say
that is just as important
00:02:04.07\00:02:08.92
to love someone than
to be loved by someone?
00:02:08.93\00:02:13.21
Or is there power in
both of that interactions.
00:02:13.22\00:02:15.58
Yes, I think
there is, Charles. Okay.
00:02:15.59\00:02:17.35
And if you're sitting
around and no one loves me,
00:02:17.36\00:02:19.56
no one pays attention to me.
We still have the prescription
00:02:19.57\00:02:25.05
for love that means we
could love someone else.
00:02:25.06\00:02:27.30
We don't have to
wait for them to love us.
00:02:27.31\00:02:28.69
That'sright. And I
think it works both ways,
00:02:28.70\00:02:31.10
there's power in loving others.
00:02:31.11\00:02:32.77
I think Christ showed us that.
00:02:32.78\00:02:34.84
But also He was
loved by the Father.
00:02:34.85\00:02:36.89
Yes, He was. And so it works
00:02:36.90\00:02:38.04
both ways to
enhance our chemistry.
00:02:38.05\00:02:40.74
And it is just a powerful
concept of love as a treatment
00:02:40.75\00:02:44.26
for disease and a
way to prevent disease
00:02:44.27\00:02:46.68
and a path to
healing. Now we hear
00:02:46.69\00:02:48.59
all these other fancy things,
you can take this medicine
00:02:48.60\00:02:51.27
or this chemo therapy or have
this fancy laser treatments,
00:02:51.28\00:02:54.32
that's a solution.
But I'm telling people
00:02:54.33\00:02:56.51
that the real solution
is right here given to us
00:02:56.52\00:02:59.42
by our Father way
back. He is the consultant
00:02:59.43\00:03:02.29
that I want to go to for my
second opinion on my health.
00:03:02.30\00:03:04.87
Absolutely. Okay,
let's get to our questions
00:03:04.88\00:03:07.34
that come to the
heartwiseministries.org website.
00:03:07.35\00:03:10.44
The first one here
is-- oh, this is a sad one.
00:03:10.45\00:03:13.58
Okay. "I lost
the love of my life
00:03:13.59\00:03:15.93
to cancer 14 months
ago. I do not want to go on.
00:03:15.94\00:03:20.25
The grief is overwhelming.
00:03:20.26\00:03:22.15
Would you pray for me
and what should I do?"
00:03:22.16\00:03:24.53
Absolutely. Oh, how sad.
00:03:24.54\00:03:25.87
We'll definitely pray for you.
00:03:25.88\00:03:27.53
At the end of
program, we like to lift up
00:03:27.54\00:03:30.13
people in
prayer. And if you like
00:03:30.14\00:03:31.84
prayer for you
or your loved ones,
00:03:31.85\00:03:33.57
go to our website
heartwiseministries.org.
00:03:33.58\00:03:36.97
There's not much
more we can do in this.
00:03:36.98\00:03:39.50
You know this is the most
important thing we can do is
00:03:39.51\00:03:41.16
pray 'cause God can do things
00:03:41.17\00:03:42.59
that modern
medicine cannot do, Charles.
00:03:42.60\00:03:45.29
What else can be done?
Well, that's a great suggestion.
00:03:45.30\00:03:48.72
And here is some things
that I've done in my practice.
00:03:48.73\00:03:51.43
First of all when
someone's lost love in the life,
00:03:51.44\00:03:54.00
you know, we know that
that damages chemistry.
00:03:54.01\00:03:56.17
We talked about the
broken heart syndrome.
00:03:56.18\00:03:58.36
We know that people
lose their appetite.
00:03:58.37\00:04:00.64
Sometimes they
don't sleep well at night.
00:04:00.65\00:04:03.68
Stress sometimes
raises blood pressure.
00:04:03.69\00:04:06.04
So there's lots of
chemical changes that happen
00:04:06.05\00:04:08.26
when we're separated from love.
00:04:08.27\00:04:09.87
Especially that
close spouse of love.
00:04:09.88\00:04:12.46
One of the first things
I do is I try to find them
00:04:12.47\00:04:15.79
other things to love,
okay? And I want to make sure
00:04:15.80\00:04:19.57
that their relationship with
the great physician is intact.
00:04:19.58\00:04:22.79
But sometimes it
takes more than that.
00:04:22.80\00:04:25.27
'cause there's healing
in both directions here.
00:04:25.28\00:04:26.49
Right, there's
healing in both directions.
00:04:26.50\00:04:27.52
Love or be loved. All right.
00:04:27.53\00:04:28.87
And so what I
try to get patients
00:04:28.88\00:04:30.94
to do that lost
their loved, I ask them
00:04:30.95\00:04:32.58
do you have an animal at home?
00:04:32.59\00:04:34.48
Would you be
interested in a dog,
00:04:34.49\00:04:36.21
a cat, or a parakeet
00:04:36.22\00:04:37.82
because then I'll
decide just like a creation,
00:04:37.83\00:04:40.46
they have something in
their lives to love back.
00:04:40.47\00:04:43.00
Yes. And several, you
know, I said, you know,
00:04:43.01\00:04:45.41
we can never replace that
lost love that you had, okay?
00:04:45.42\00:04:48.79
Yeah. But that love is
just resting right now.
00:04:48.80\00:04:50.77
We're gonna have
that again some day.
00:04:50.78\00:04:52.63
But when you have a pet
or something else to love,
00:04:52.64\00:04:56.05
they love you back and forth,
then that love relationship
00:04:56.06\00:04:58.99
is started and the
chemistry starts to improve.
00:04:59.00\00:05:01.24
I've seen that lots of
times when you get a dog,
00:05:01.25\00:05:03.37
a cat, or a pet, or
something else to love
00:05:03.38\00:05:05.56
or taking care of a
child, or something else to do,
00:05:05.57\00:05:08.89
something else to
serve. When you start
00:05:08.90\00:05:10.82
the act of
service, which is love too,
00:05:10.83\00:05:12.85
that's the same thing
getting in a service oriented,
00:05:12.86\00:05:15.20
becoming more active
in Church, volunteering,
00:05:15.21\00:05:17.91
do something that you
have a love relationship
00:05:17.92\00:05:20.38
going this way.
Then sooner or later
00:05:20.39\00:05:22.30
that love at least the chemistry
00:05:22.31\00:05:23.99
from that lack of
love starts to improve.
00:05:24.00\00:05:26.80
Does that make sense?
00:05:26.81\00:05:27.81
Yes, that makes absolute sense.
00:05:27.82\00:05:29.70
So don't, you know, sit at home,
00:05:29.71\00:05:31.24
and necessarily be sad
all the time, you know.
00:05:31.25\00:05:34.17
I want this person
to go out and start,
00:05:34.18\00:05:36.32
you know, loving,
serving other people.
00:05:36.33\00:05:38.24
Maybe a pet, maybe
finding something to volunteer
00:05:38.25\00:05:40.71
and stay plugged
into that great healing
00:05:40.72\00:05:43.36
relationship where
God can heal all hurts.
00:05:43.37\00:05:45.63
When we look at
love as a healing agent,
00:05:45.64\00:05:48.85
it just makes--And we
will pray for this person
00:05:48.86\00:05:50.64
at the end of our
program today. Absolutely.
00:05:50.65\00:05:51.85
We will pray. We always pray
00:05:51.86\00:05:53.29
for the people that
write into our website.
00:05:53.30\00:05:55.22
Yes. Here's another question
00:05:55.23\00:05:56.92
that came into
heartwiseministries.org.
00:05:56.93\00:05:58.90
"My son-in-law has
many chronic problems.
00:05:58.91\00:06:01.80
You name it, he has it.
His doctors have literally
00:06:01.81\00:06:04.57
tried everything." And
then here's a question,
00:06:04.58\00:06:06.86
we're talking about
love and relationships,
00:06:06.87\00:06:11.25
how about hypnosis?
Is hypnosis something
00:06:11.26\00:06:15.15
that should be considered
under these circumstances?
00:06:15.16\00:06:17.22
Yeah, so this person has a
lot of chronic medical problems
00:06:17.23\00:06:20.10
and they're asking
about hypnosis. Yeah.
00:06:20.11\00:06:22.10
There's lots of different
medical theories out there.
00:06:22.11\00:06:26.16
And people practice many
different things and sometimes
00:06:26.17\00:06:29.27
it's hard to sort through
it. You read on the internet
00:06:29.28\00:06:31.73
or hear other people
practicing different things.
00:06:31.74\00:06:34.50
But what I try to do is
I try to test everything
00:06:34.51\00:06:37.41
by the ultimate medical textbook
00:06:37.42\00:06:39.31
that we've been talking
about test things biblically.
00:06:39.60\00:06:43.19
Well, love is a biblical
test to treatment, you know.
00:06:43.20\00:06:45.89
And some of the other
things we talked about
00:06:45.90\00:06:47.26
that was given to
his body but I never saw
00:06:47.27\00:06:49.71
hypnosis in the Bible.
And when you think about it,
00:06:49.72\00:06:53.53
hypnosis is really
letting someone else
00:06:53.54\00:06:55.88
or another entity control you
that not necessarily you know
00:06:55.89\00:06:59.36
what it is. So, you
know, I have to be very
00:06:59.37\00:07:02.50
leery of recommending
something control your mind
00:07:02.51\00:07:05.21
that you don't
know what it is. Yeah.
00:07:05.22\00:07:07.14
You know, there's many
powers out there, you know.
00:07:07.15\00:07:09.80
So I can't really
recommend hypnosis
00:07:09.81\00:07:13.02
but what I can recommend, okay,
00:07:13.03\00:07:15.30
with many
chronic health problems,
00:07:15.31\00:07:17.44
the things we talked about.
00:07:17.45\00:07:19.43
Let's get back to the things
that treat chronic stress.
00:07:19.44\00:07:22.80
Yeah. Let's go back to
having love in our life,
00:07:22.81\00:07:25.33
having the basics,
water, exercise, good nutrition,
00:07:25.34\00:07:29.16
all these other
things, the appropriate
00:07:29.17\00:07:31.31
use for modern medicine. Yes.
00:07:31.32\00:07:33.03
An appropriate
exercise regimen, You know,
00:07:33.04\00:07:35.32
laughing and having
proper sensual things
00:07:35.33\00:07:39.26
like good music,
things of that nature
00:07:39.27\00:07:41.62
and see if that
won't help. And, you know,
00:07:41.63\00:07:43.58
sometimes no matter what we do,
00:07:43.59\00:07:45.59
people still
have problems. Yeah.
00:07:45.60\00:07:47.27
This is a world that's
not devoid of problems.
00:07:47.28\00:07:50.20
Sometimes believe it
or not, we just have to do
00:07:50.21\00:07:52.26
the best we can
with our problems. Yes.
00:07:52.27\00:07:54.62
But one thing
that's always reassuring
00:07:54.63\00:07:56.30
that when we're
walking with a great physician
00:07:56.31\00:07:59.05
that we'll have
healing sometime.
00:07:59.06\00:08:01.68
It might be right away.
00:08:01.69\00:08:02.89
I've seen God
heal people right away
00:08:02.90\00:08:05.00
not that many
times but I've seen it.
00:08:05.01\00:08:07.03
Sometimes he heals by physicians
00:08:07.04\00:08:09.02
and change of lifestyle.
00:08:09.03\00:08:10.88
But we've been promised that
we walk in that relationship,
00:08:10.89\00:08:13.69
that love relationship,
we'll be healed some day.
00:08:13.70\00:08:16.28
So that's where I would start.
00:08:16.29\00:08:17.62
I can't really
recommend hypnosis. Okay.
00:08:17.63\00:08:20.26
It goes against
what I think is right.
00:08:20.27\00:08:23.16
Because there's really no
biblical prescription for that.
00:08:23.17\00:08:26.88
And I think it would let
someone else control your mind
00:08:26.89\00:08:29.19
which I don't think
is good. Yeah. And then,
00:08:29.20\00:08:31.47
but I would recommend
getting back to this--
00:08:31.48\00:08:33.46
the biblical principles
that we've talked about
00:08:33.47\00:08:35.46
as a good start in treating
chronic medical problems.
00:08:35.47\00:08:38.39
Now we've been talking
about love as something
00:08:38.40\00:08:40.55
that we give to someone else
00:08:40.56\00:08:42.66
or we receive from someone else.
00:08:42.67\00:08:45.05
Is it important for our health
00:08:46.27\00:08:50.93
if we learn to love ourselves?
00:08:50.94\00:08:55.05
Well, you know, we
have-- you know God created you
00:08:55.06\00:08:58.61
and God wants us, you know,
there's different, you know,
00:08:58.62\00:09:01.17
when you say the
words love, does that mean
00:09:01.18\00:09:03.15
idolize yourself? Be
proud? No, it doesn't.
00:09:03.16\00:09:05.57
But to respect what God has done
00:09:05.58\00:09:08.04
and what He can do in your life.
00:09:08.05\00:09:09.96
I think you have to
love yourself to love others.
00:09:09.97\00:09:13.48
God made you a valuable
person. You know, He loves you,
00:09:13.49\00:09:16.95
so you ought to love
yourself for what God created.
00:09:16.96\00:09:19.71
Okay, 'cause there are
people who are saying, you know,
00:09:19.72\00:09:21.89
"Love myself, have you met me?"
00:09:21.90\00:09:24.72
They are saying
this is impossible.
00:09:24.73\00:09:26.68
I can't love myself. Look at me,
00:09:26.69\00:09:28.67
look all the bad
things I've done, look at--
00:09:28.68\00:09:31.48
that's because they're
trying to love themselves
00:09:31.49\00:09:35.31
as opposed to loving
the God who loves them.
00:09:35.32\00:09:37.44
Right. The way they
see themselves. Yes.
00:09:37.45\00:09:39.22
Not the way that God
created them and God--
00:09:39.23\00:09:41.05
not the person that
God wants them to be. Yes.
00:09:41.06\00:09:43.65
But you know we have to--
if we don't love ourselves,
00:09:43.66\00:09:45.88
it's very hard to love others.
00:09:45.89\00:09:48.19
So it's important in
loving yourself that you really
00:09:48.20\00:09:51.73
base your love for
yourself on God's love for you.
00:09:51.74\00:09:55.62
Exactly. We're not
saying be proud and boastful,
00:09:55.63\00:09:58.11
not that type of love,
00:09:58.12\00:09:59.43
that respecting for
what's God's created,
00:09:59.44\00:10:01.75
what He intends for you to be.
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.74
And no matter
where we are at in life,
00:10:03.75\00:10:05.90
no matter how bad our
health is, God still loves us.
00:10:05.91\00:10:09.40
Yeah. And we still
are worthy of love.
00:10:09.41\00:10:12.00
Yes, okay, very
good. I think we have time
00:10:12.01\00:10:14.08
for one more question.
Let's get right in here.
00:10:14.09\00:10:16.49
This is from Wilma,
"My fingers hurt a lot.
00:10:16.50\00:10:19.92
I had an x-ray and bone scan
and everything came back fine.
00:10:19.93\00:10:23.03
My doctor has no solution
other than pain medications.
00:10:23.04\00:10:26.39
Do I have to live with this?"
00:10:26.40\00:10:28.00
Well, Wilma,
that's a great question.
00:10:28.01\00:10:30.13
I see a lot of
people on pain medications.
00:10:30.14\00:10:33.02
And the first thing I
would want to do is can we--
00:10:33.03\00:10:35.48
is there anything that can
be done to fix your fingers?
00:10:35.49\00:10:37.95
You know is there
anything that can be done?
00:10:37.96\00:10:39.60
Is there a bone broken?
Is there a tendon pulled?
00:10:39.61\00:10:42.15
Can rehab be done to retrain
the muscles or the ligaments?
00:10:42.16\00:10:46.16
Sometimes that's not possible.
00:10:46.17\00:10:47.74
There's been
permanent damage done.
00:10:47.75\00:10:49.73
And some people do
need to take medications
00:10:49.74\00:10:51.84
to help relieve medicines
but there's other things
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.90
that can also help the pain.
We know that music helps pain.
00:10:53.91\00:10:58.06
This is true.
We know that having
00:10:58.07\00:10:59.69
something to love
helps pain. You know,
00:10:59.70\00:11:02.42
sometimes when you're distracted
by serving other people,
00:11:02.43\00:11:05.38
loving other people.
00:11:05.39\00:11:06.68
You know, when I had a
hurt toe the other day,
00:11:06.69\00:11:10.64
but when I was petting my
dogs, I didn't notice my toe.
00:11:10.65\00:11:13.97
You know, we know that
love can help endorphins go up.
00:11:13.98\00:11:17.57
We know that
breathing appropriately,
00:11:17.58\00:11:19.36
exercising, that also
makes natural pain killers,
00:11:19.37\00:11:22.28
called the
endorphins in the body.
00:11:22.29\00:11:24.10
We also know that people
that eat really healthy diets,
00:11:24.11\00:11:27.26
you know, like
we've been talking about,
00:11:27.27\00:11:28.92
that can also
help pain in some what,
00:11:28.93\00:11:30.94
especially when it
comes to inflammation.
00:11:30.95\00:11:32.78
There's some
great diets out there.
00:11:32.79\00:11:34.81
There're especially plant
base that lowers inflammation,
00:11:34.82\00:11:37.84
inflammation causes
pain. And hydration.
00:11:37.85\00:11:40.26
Exactly hydration
helps in lowering the pain.
00:11:40.27\00:11:43.20
So all these things that were
given to us back at creation,
00:11:43.21\00:11:46.05
we want to add them
to the treatment regimen.
00:11:46.06\00:11:48.84
And maybe if we can add
these, may be she won't be--
00:11:48.85\00:11:51.50
need to take a pain
medicine the rest of the life.
00:11:51.51\00:11:54.01
So it's
definitely a possibility.
00:11:54.02\00:11:55.82
Check with your doctor to see
00:11:55.83\00:11:57.51
if you might fit
the bill for this.
00:11:57.52\00:11:59.50
Real power of love.
00:11:59.51\00:12:01.33
We'll be back in just
a minute, so stay tuned.
00:12:01.34\00:12:03.08
Love, putting someone
else's interest above your own.
00:12:10.23\00:12:16.24
Boy, that's sort of hard
in this world that we live in.
00:12:16.25\00:12:19.36
But love is a treatment
00:12:19.37\00:12:21.44
for some of the
conditions we have,
00:12:21.45\00:12:23.52
all of the conditions we have.
00:12:23.53\00:12:25.49
Love, also lack of
love that is causes disease.
00:12:25.50\00:12:30.21
Someone called
in wanting prayer.
00:12:30.22\00:12:32.59
We're gonna pray for
that person right now.
00:12:32.60\00:12:34.58
Let's all bow our heads and
uplift that person in prayer.
00:12:34.59\00:12:38.53
Father God, there
are many people out there
00:12:38.54\00:12:40.62
that are separated from love.
00:12:40.63\00:12:43.90
We want to pray that Your
love come into their lives
00:12:43.91\00:12:47.38
through this relationship
we've been talking about.
00:12:47.39\00:12:50.06
And You change
their chemistry, Father,
00:12:50.07\00:12:52.09
and bring them
into an understanding
00:12:52.10\00:12:53.74
of Your perfect plan for us.
00:12:53.75\00:12:56.16
We pray for this person
that lost their love one,
00:12:56.17\00:12:58.17
Father, fill their
heart with love and give them
00:12:58.18\00:13:00.62
other avenues to
love and serve You.
00:13:00.63\00:13:03.04
There are many others that
need to accept You, Father.
00:13:03.05\00:13:05.79
And we want others
if they haven't ever,
00:13:05.80\00:13:07.56
to turn their lives over to You
00:13:07.57\00:13:09.01
and accept this
love that You have.
00:13:09.02\00:13:11.21
This is our most
humble prayer, amen.
00:13:11.22\00:13:15.85
You know, if I talk about
this in a medical meeting,
00:13:15.86\00:13:19.44
this concept of
love is a treatment,
00:13:19.45\00:13:22.05
some people might
laugh at me. But I think,
00:13:22.06\00:13:25.41
you'll agree that this makes
sense after watching us today.
00:13:25.42\00:13:28.97
Love can and will
change your chemistry.
00:13:28.98\00:13:32.85
Love requires faith.
Love requires service.
00:13:32.86\00:13:37.22
And when you think
about what we've been talking
00:13:37.23\00:13:38.97
about these prescriptions
we've been talking about,
00:13:38.98\00:13:41.66
I want you to have
love as a prescription
00:13:41.67\00:13:43.94
in your life every day.
00:13:43.95\00:13:46.09
