The following program presents 00:00:01.01\00:00:02.03 principles designed to promote good health 00:00:02.04\00:00:04.15 and is not intended to take the place 00:00:04.16\00:00:05.89 of personalized professional care. 00:00:05.90\00:00:07.90 The opinion and ideas expressed are those of the speaker. 00:00:07.91\00:00:10.86 VIewers are encouraged to daw their own conclusions 00:00:10.87\00:00:13.33 about the information presented. 00:00:13.34\00:00:15.64 A few years back there was a popular song 00:00:17.33\00:00:19.51 that asked the musical question, 00:00:19.52\00:00:21.27 what's love got to do with it? 00:00:21.28\00:00:23.25 When it comes to health the answer is, everything. 00:00:23.26\00:00:26.69 Stay tuned. 00:00:26.70\00:00:28.25 I'm Dr James Marcum. 00:00:28.26\00:00:30.15 Are you interested in discovering the reason why? 00:00:30.16\00:00:33.61 You want solutions to your healthcare problem. 00:00:33.62\00:00:36.41 Are you tired of taking medications? 00:00:36.42\00:00:39.14 Well, you're about to be given the Ultimate Prescription. 00:00:39.15\00:00:43.22 Our show today might not sit too well 00:00:46.54\00:00:48.87 with some of our viewers. 00:00:48.88\00:00:50.31 We're going to reveal the incredible power of love 00:00:50.32\00:00:53.05 when it comes to health and healing. 00:00:53.06\00:00:55.37 But some out there may not feel 00:00:55.38\00:00:56.80 much like loving anything 00:00:56.81\00:00:58.63 or they insist that no one loves them. 00:00:58.64\00:01:01.40 Dr. Marcum, which is supposed to come first, love or health? 00:01:01.41\00:01:07.09 Well, Charles, I'm gonna come up here 00:01:07.10\00:01:09.94 and give you a hug. 00:01:09.95\00:01:10.94 Thank you, thank you, thank you. 00:01:10.95\00:01:11.94 And I'm gonna say love needs to come first. 00:01:11.95\00:01:14.70 Oh, very good. 00:01:14.71\00:01:15.70 I'm gonna say love needs to come first. 00:01:15.71\00:01:17.60 And as we talk about this most important prescription 00:01:17.61\00:01:21.21 for our bodies today, lot of people don't think 00:01:21.22\00:01:23.93 as love as a prescription or love as a treatment 00:01:23.94\00:01:26.17 but indeed it is. 00:01:26.18\00:01:27.72 Let's define, what do you think love is, Charles? 00:01:27.73\00:01:31.28 Well, it can be all kinds of things. 00:01:31.29\00:01:32.96 To me love is acceptance more than anything else. 00:01:32.97\00:01:35.61 You accept that person. 00:01:35.62\00:01:37.01 You see the faults but you say, 00:01:37.02\00:01:39.86 okay, I love them anyway. Okay. 00:01:39.87\00:01:41.52 So love is like overcoming the faults. 00:01:41.53\00:01:44.96 Am I on the right track? I think so. 00:01:44.97\00:01:46.37 There's so many people out there, 00:01:46.38\00:01:47.91 they're defining love, you know? 00:01:47.92\00:01:49.54 Love is based on relationships or, 00:01:49.55\00:01:51.89 you know, I love you so I'm giving you a gift. 00:01:51.90\00:01:53.79 Is it receiving gifts? 00:01:53.80\00:01:54.96 But a simple definition I like to use 00:01:54.97\00:01:58.73 is love is putting someone else's interest 00:01:58.74\00:02:01.79 above your own. Very good. 00:02:01.80\00:02:03.12 Or the opposite of selfishness. Yes. 00:02:03.13\00:02:06.05 Love is good for your chemistry, 00:02:06.06\00:02:07.63 good for your bodies, a treatment. 00:02:07.64\00:02:09.73 Then the opposite of that, selfishness is bad for the body. 00:02:09.74\00:02:12.58 It causes stress. It causes damages. 00:02:12.59\00:02:14.41 It causes disease. So we don't wanna be selfish. 00:02:14.42\00:02:17.01 We wanna have love based on the ultimate source of love 00:02:17.02\00:02:20.99 and that's in the Bible. God is love. 00:02:21.00\00:02:24.00 So I think to really understand love 00:02:24.01\00:02:26.73 you have to understand God 00:02:26.74\00:02:28.30 and have that relationship with Him. 00:02:28.31\00:02:29.78 And I think love is a process. 00:02:29.79\00:02:31.34 It goes on for a long period of time. 00:02:31.35\00:02:33.12 I don't think we ever have 00:02:33.13\00:02:34.12 a full understanding of what it is. 00:02:34.13\00:02:36.20 This is a principle that runs the whole universe. 00:02:36.21\00:02:39.77 We're based on love. 00:02:39.78\00:02:41.34 I mean we don't have that principle, right? 00:02:41.35\00:02:44.06 Our chemistry goes back, 00:02:44.07\00:02:45.52 way back at creation we talked about. Yes. 00:02:45.53\00:02:47.75 You know that love, when that love was destroyed 00:02:47.76\00:02:50.05 or that distrust entered, when there was doubts 00:02:50.06\00:02:52.46 about this love 00:02:52.47\00:02:53.74 then that's when the chemistry started going bad. 00:02:53.75\00:02:55.85 Stress occurred. We started seeing diseases. 00:02:55.86\00:02:58.08 We actually started to see death. 00:02:58.09\00:03:00.41 So, you know, we've talked about, 00:03:00.42\00:03:01.66 before about, these two paths, you know? 00:03:01.67\00:03:03.71 The path that God wants us on and the path that, 00:03:03.72\00:03:06.39 you know, other people choose. 00:03:06.40\00:03:08.30 And really love is essential theme to that. 00:03:08.31\00:03:11.23 Are you telling me that if we don't love, 00:03:11.24\00:03:17.16 if we have anger in our heart, 00:03:17.17\00:03:19.83 if we have resentment in our heart 00:03:19.84\00:03:22.82 that somehow we are going to be physically affected by that? 00:03:22.83\00:03:26.23 Absolutely, Charles, 00:03:26.24\00:03:27.53 and this is can damage our entire chemistry. 00:03:27.54\00:03:30.74 Let's give some examples, you know. 00:03:30.75\00:03:32.22 We've talked before about people 00:03:32.23\00:03:33.69 that have a sudden loss of a loved one, 00:03:33.70\00:03:35.34 that sudden loss of love, an acute problem. 00:03:35.35\00:03:38.21 But can you imagine, 00:03:38.22\00:03:39.44 we were designed to have love in our life. 00:03:39.45\00:03:41.56 We were design to feel it. 00:03:41.57\00:03:42.58 Everyone knows how good they feel when they have love, 00:03:42.59\00:03:45.32 when they have a dog to pet or someone to love 00:03:45.33\00:03:47.76 or kids or grandchildren. 00:03:47.77\00:03:49.97 That feeling that makes you feel 00:03:49.98\00:03:51.23 so warm inside was something that God gave to us. 00:03:51.24\00:03:55.10 But more than that God programmed us 00:03:55.11\00:03:57.26 to have--want to have that love relationship with Him. 00:03:57.27\00:04:00.11 Just so when we don't have this love for each other, 00:04:00.12\00:04:02.57 when we don't have this love for Him, 00:04:02.58\00:04:04.88 our chemistry is not like it should be 00:04:04.89\00:04:06.93 and then a stress cascade gets turned on 00:04:06.94\00:04:09.26 even though we don't know it. 00:04:09.27\00:04:10.54 And unfortunately in the world we live in 00:04:10.55\00:04:12.79 there's a lot of selfishness 00:04:12.80\00:04:14.01 which is the opposite of love. So we see the selfishness. 00:04:14.02\00:04:16.94 Well, you know, it's all about me, 00:04:16.95\00:04:18.54 it's what I can get, what I can have, you know? 00:04:18.55\00:04:20.46 I want to eat more, I want to make more money, 00:04:20.47\00:04:22.00 I want to have a bigger house, 00:04:22.01\00:04:23.00 I want to have it all, I want to work right, 00:04:23.01\00:04:24.86 I want to have a nice vacation, I don't want to serve others, 00:04:24.87\00:04:27.35 I want to serve myself. 00:04:27.36\00:04:29.08 And as we do this over a long period of time, 00:04:29.09\00:04:32.45 guess what happens. Our chemistry is damaged. 00:04:32.46\00:04:35.01 Our thoughts are damaged. 00:04:35.02\00:04:36.28 Love affects the way our brain works, Charles. 00:04:36.29\00:04:39.83 So if a person is sitting at home and is sick 00:04:39.84\00:04:43.89 and that person might have a headache 00:04:43.90\00:04:46.04 or might have an ache some place. 00:04:46.05\00:04:47.96 Or there's something going on inside that body 00:04:47.97\00:04:50.36 that is affecting them 00:04:50.37\00:04:51.36 and they're not feeling very good at all, 00:04:51.37\00:04:54.20 the answer maybe they don't have enough love in their life? 00:04:54.21\00:04:58.09 That's a part of the treatment. Wow. 00:04:58.10\00:05:00.16 Now my wife complaints to me whenever she get sick, 00:05:00.17\00:05:03.31 you know, I don't pay enough attention to her you know? 00:05:03.32\00:05:06.64 Not that I can do anything, you know? 00:05:06.65\00:05:08.11 It's usually a cold or something like that but she wants to be-- 00:05:08.12\00:05:10.75 But you're a doctor. She wants to be-- 00:05:10.76\00:05:12.80 Oh, I am sorry, you are sick, honey. 00:05:12.81\00:05:14.62 And I hope you feel better. 00:05:14.63\00:05:16.28 Let me bring you some soup and all those little things. 00:05:16.29\00:05:18.67 That be--of course, that's her love language. 00:05:18.68\00:05:20.58 And everyone has their love language. 00:05:20.59\00:05:22.56 But when I do that to her she gets better quicker. 00:05:22.57\00:05:26.31 I didn't prescribe an antibiotic or anything else. 00:05:26.32\00:05:28.56 And likewise when I don't do that 00:05:28.57\00:05:30.30 she stays sick longer. Wow, wow. 00:05:30.31\00:05:33.06 So this love treatment is very, very important. 00:05:33.07\00:05:36.16 And science is proving it over and over again. 00:05:36.17\00:05:38.97 And it just--it needs to be a part of every treatment plan 00:05:38.98\00:05:41.86 but what I want to focus on is all the, 00:05:41.87\00:05:44.02 just for a minute here, is all the ways 00:05:44.03\00:05:45.79 that we don't have love in our lives, you know? 00:05:45.80\00:05:48.44 We're supposed to find-- where do we--you know, 00:05:48.45\00:05:50.05 of course, we've identified that God is love 00:05:50.06\00:05:52.24 and that relationship leads to Him 00:05:52.25\00:05:53.85 and that changes us. Yes. 00:05:53.86\00:05:55.41 So, you know, we have to breathe everyday, 00:05:55.42\00:05:57.15 don't we, Charles? Absolutely. 00:05:57.16\00:05:58.22 Breathing is an automatic thing we do. 00:05:58.23\00:06:00.52 If we don't breathe, we die, okay. 00:06:00.53\00:06:02.94 Well, if love is the universal principle that guides the world, 00:06:02.95\00:06:06.86 if we don't love-- We're fighting a principle. 00:06:06.87\00:06:10.49 We're fighting a law. We die. 00:06:10.50\00:06:11.56 And we die. If we don't love we die. Yes. 00:06:11.57\00:06:13.72 It might not be right now but if we don't love, we die. 00:06:13.73\00:06:17.21 If we don't breath, we die. 00:06:17.22\00:06:18.95 If we don't drink water, we die, you know? 00:06:18.96\00:06:21.36 You see, where I'm going with this? I do. 00:06:21.37\00:06:23.34 Yes, if we don't love, we die. 00:06:23.35\00:06:25.01 It's just a matter of win. 00:06:25.02\00:06:26.39 Now if I was trying to destroy the world 00:06:26.40\00:06:28.24 I would take love out of the world. 00:06:28.25\00:06:30.22 I would make us love ourselves. 00:06:30.23\00:06:31.98 I would make us love ourselves so much 00:06:31.99\00:06:34.69 that we thought we were God. 00:06:34.70\00:06:37.20 We are God, we can do anything. 00:06:37.21\00:06:39.14 We can fix anything. We have modern medicine. 00:06:39.15\00:06:41.18 We have doctors who can make people well. 00:06:41.19\00:06:43.26 We might be able to cryopreserve people. 00:06:43.27\00:06:45.81 We can do it all ourselves. 00:06:45.82\00:06:47.06 This is sounding familiar 00:06:47.07\00:06:48.46 because that's exactly what the devil said to Eve 00:06:48.47\00:06:50.93 in the Garden of Eden. 00:06:50.94\00:06:52.25 You're not gonna die. Right. 00:06:52.26\00:06:54.00 You gonna live forever. You can be God. 00:06:54.01\00:06:55.89 History repeats itself, Charles. 00:06:55.90\00:06:58.55 And the same thing goes over and over. 00:06:58.56\00:07:00.62 It just changes a little bit. So we become selfish. 00:07:00.63\00:07:04.36 And all along it's been about who do we worship? 00:07:04.37\00:07:06.57 Do we worship and love the true God 00:07:06.58\00:07:08.71 or do we worship the false gods? 00:07:08.72\00:07:11.11 If we think back in the Garden of Eden, 00:07:11.12\00:07:12.88 there the serpent wanted us to worship us. 00:07:12.89\00:07:16.26 And throughout time you, know, 00:07:16.27\00:07:17.45 in Daniel did they worship the idol 00:07:17.46\00:07:19.94 or did they worship the true God? 00:07:19.95\00:07:22.11 In Christ's time, did they worship the true Christ 00:07:22.12\00:07:25.01 or the system that created Christ? There you go. 00:07:25.02\00:07:28.02 In our time what are we worshipping now? Technology. 00:07:28.03\00:07:32.06 Are we worshipping that? How about in our churches? 00:07:32.07\00:07:33.96 Are we worshipping the true God or we're worshipping the systems 00:07:33.97\00:07:37.03 that are set up there? 00:07:37.04\00:07:38.71 Are we worshipping man's invention of God 00:07:38.72\00:07:41.48 or are we worshipping God's revelation of Himself 00:07:41.49\00:07:44.80 in the scripture? Exactly. Wow. 00:07:44.81\00:07:47.10 And how do we sort through all this confusion 00:07:47.11\00:07:49.66 about this most valuable treatment for our body, love? 00:07:49.67\00:07:52.67 How do we sort through this when we recognize, 00:07:52.68\00:07:55.01 you know, we become like that we worship. 00:07:55.02\00:07:57.68 So whatever we worship enough, we're gonna become like that. 00:07:57.69\00:08:01.27 If we worship the God of love, 00:08:01.28\00:08:02.94 we're gonna be more like the God of love. 00:08:02.95\00:08:04.87 Not that we can ever reach that standing. 00:08:04.88\00:08:07.12 If we don't worship God, if we worship ourselves, 00:08:07.13\00:08:09.75 if we worship man, if we worship institutions, 00:08:09.76\00:08:12.87 guess what, we're gonna go down that road. 00:08:12.88\00:08:14.97 And if we don't have love in our life, 00:08:14.98\00:08:16.63 it eventually leads to this universal law, death. 00:08:16.64\00:08:19.76 Just like we quit breathing, we die. 00:08:19.77\00:08:24.66 Its sounds like you are telling me, Dr. James Marcum, 00:08:24.67\00:08:28.19 that we need to have a correct understanding 00:08:28.20\00:08:33.83 of who God is. Absolutely-- 00:08:33.84\00:08:35.81 Before we can actually love Him 00:08:35.82\00:08:37.10 because if we're loving what we think is God, 00:08:37.11\00:08:39.23 if we're loving someone else interpretation of God, 00:08:39.24\00:08:42.66 if we're loving God of a television program 00:08:42.67\00:08:45.21 or the God of a radio program or the God of a book 00:08:45.22\00:08:48.28 other than this one or the God of human invention, 00:08:48.29\00:08:52.85 we may feel love but we're not loving correctly. 00:08:52.86\00:08:56.30 And that false love is not gonna help us physically. 00:08:56.31\00:08:59.74 98% truth is still a lie. 00:08:59.75\00:09:02.76 Some people have a perception of God 00:09:02.77\00:09:04.83 that if I don't do everything right, 00:09:04.84\00:09:06.78 if I don't ask for forgiveness of every sin, 00:09:06.79\00:09:09.05 if I don't eat this way, if I don't act this way, 00:09:09.06\00:09:11.58 God's gonna destroy me and kill me, boom. 00:09:11.59\00:09:16.28 They're scared of God. This was never God's plan. 00:09:16.29\00:09:20.25 God wanted us to love Him, have a relationship with Him. 00:09:20.26\00:09:23.60 He didn't want us to fear. 00:09:23.61\00:09:24.77 Now when we're scared-- if I scare you again, Charles, 00:09:24.78\00:09:28.76 your chemistry is gonna change. 00:09:28.77\00:09:30.56 You're gonna make adrenaline and cortisol. 00:09:30.57\00:09:32.48 Your blood's gonna want to clot. 00:09:32.49\00:09:33.68 You're gonna start changing chemistry 00:09:33.69\00:09:35.28 that goes to fight--this, this-- you're gonna get ready to fight 00:09:35.29\00:09:37.91 'cause you are scared. 00:09:37.92\00:09:38.96 You have fear in your life 00:09:38.97\00:09:40.24 'cause you think I'm gonna zap you 00:09:40.25\00:09:41.81 and I'm bigger than you.
