Welcome back to the program.
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.77
I'm Charles Mills
here with Dr. James Marcum.
00:00:02.80\00:00:04.17
We're talking
about medications today
00:00:04.20\00:00:06.00
and I know a lot of
us are on medications,
00:00:06.03\00:00:07.83
we take them regularly.
00:00:07.86\00:00:09.23
The doctor says
here's what you need
00:00:09.26\00:00:11.14
but you know Dr.
Marcum, you're telling us
00:00:11.17\00:00:12.99
that, that should not
be the final answer. Yeah.
00:00:13.02\00:00:16.10
What's up-- Now you're a doctor,
00:00:16.13\00:00:18.51
you want your
patient to sit here and say,
00:00:18.54\00:00:20.01
"Okay, now, Dr.
Marcum, prove to me
00:00:20.04\00:00:22.30
that what you're
giving me for my body
00:00:22.33\00:00:24.02
is actually good for me?"
00:00:24.05\00:00:25.42
you want us to say that
to you? Well, yes, I do.
00:00:25.45\00:00:27.85
I want you to question
me because we've been too--
00:00:27.88\00:00:30.92
you know I was
treated, you know I was treated,
00:00:30.95\00:00:33.31
come on, Charles, that's
not the word I want to say.
00:00:33.34\00:00:35.34
I was taught that's
the word I want to say.
00:00:35.37\00:00:38.01
I was taught in medical school
00:00:38.04\00:00:39.70
how to give all
these medications. Yes.
00:00:39.73\00:00:41.72
But the real solution
is not to treat a symptom,
00:00:41.75\00:00:44.92
it's to find a cause. Okay.
00:00:44.95\00:00:46.53
And I'm not gonna be
popular when people watch this,
00:00:46.56\00:00:48.69
you know, because everyone
wants to take a medicine,
00:00:48.72\00:00:50.47
we want a quick fix,
00:00:50.50\00:00:52.03
we're trained to
have a quick fix.
00:00:52.06\00:00:53.66
We watch television,
there's ad after ad of this.
00:00:53.69\00:00:56.33
If you've this
problem, take this.
00:00:56.36\00:00:57.74
If you've that
problem, take this.
00:00:57.77\00:00:59.14
And if you've this
problem, take that.
00:00:59.17\00:01:00.77
But I wanna tell people
00:01:00.80\00:01:02.64
that all these medications
come with some risk. All right.
00:01:02.67\00:01:06.22
And some of
those risk kill people.
00:01:06.25\00:01:08.03
For instance, did you know
00:01:08.06\00:01:09.82
that number one
cause of liver failure
00:01:09.85\00:01:12.41
needing
transplantation in the States
00:01:12.44\00:01:15.13
is
acetaminophen, Tylenol. Tylenol.
00:01:15.16\00:01:18.43
The number one
cause of fatal G.I.
00:01:18.46\00:01:20.80
bleeding in the United
States is aspirin products,
00:01:20.83\00:01:25.09
irritates the
stomach, causing bleeding.
00:01:25.12\00:01:27.25
The list goes on and on.
00:01:27.28\00:01:29.84
And for instance, I
use a lot of medications
00:01:29.87\00:01:32.28
that affect the
rhythm of the heart.
00:01:32.31\00:01:34.60
Well, I know a lady that
came into the emergency room
00:01:34.63\00:01:36.81
a couple of weeks ago, she
took a beta blocker, chrales,
00:01:36.84\00:01:39.31
that's slows the heart down.
00:01:39.34\00:01:41.26
And she said, you
know, bless your heart,
00:01:41.29\00:01:43.56
she is in her 80s and she said,
00:01:43.59\00:01:44.96
you know, she took
one of these and she says,
00:01:44.99\00:01:46.36
"You know I don't feel,
you know, I feel weak today.
00:01:46.39\00:01:49.07
I know these are heart pills,
00:01:49.10\00:01:50.47
they're gonna
make my heart stronger.
00:01:50.50\00:01:52.04
I need to take
a stronger heart."
00:01:52.07\00:01:53.65
So she took another one.
00:01:53.68\00:01:55.07
And she didn't know it
actually slowed her heart down.
00:01:55.10\00:01:57.40
so heart went from 50s
into the 40s and she says,
00:01:57.43\00:01:59.96
"Man, I took that one pill
00:01:59.99\00:02:01.91
and I'm so feeling
pretty dog on weak."
00:02:01.94\00:02:04.53
So guess what she thought?
00:02:04.56\00:02:05.93
Bless your heart, she says,
"I'm gonna take two of them,
00:02:05.96\00:02:07.65
double the dose that will
make my heart twice as strong."
00:02:07.68\00:02:10.75
So this time she
took two of them,
00:02:10.78\00:02:12.20
she got in the emergency room,
00:02:12.23\00:02:13.60
her heart rate
was in 20s and 30s.
00:02:13.63\00:02:15.56
So her blood pressure
was of course going down low.
00:02:15.59\00:02:18.20
Now luckily she didn't pass
away or hurt herself terribly.
00:02:18.23\00:02:21.43
We were able to reverse
the cause of the beta blocker,
00:02:21.46\00:02:23.94
but people think like
this and they make mistakes.
00:02:23.97\00:02:26.63
When you're taking
a lots of medicines
00:02:26.66\00:02:28.24
with lots of interactions,
the more medicines you take,
00:02:28.27\00:02:30.89
the more mistakes can be
made at every single level
00:02:30.92\00:02:33.83
from production to giving
it out, to misinterpretation,
00:02:33.86\00:02:36.60
it damages the organs,
even taking them right.
00:02:36.63\00:02:39.55
so you add all these up
00:02:39.58\00:02:40.95
and you wonder
why people pass away.
00:02:40.98\00:02:43.51
Unfortunately,
people do not know
00:02:43.54\00:02:45.30
that mixing and matching
medications with alcohol
00:02:45.33\00:02:48.06
or taking an
extra one or missing one
00:02:48.09\00:02:50.43
or not letting your doctor
know if you get dehydrated
00:02:50.46\00:02:53.53
which is gonna make the
concentration go up in the body,
00:02:53.56\00:02:56.55
or taking some medicines
that affect the way you think
00:02:56.58\00:02:59.19
and get in the car,
00:02:59.22\00:03:00.64
you know, and
driving dangerously
00:03:00.67\00:03:02.40
or swimming or doing something
00:03:02.43\00:03:03.80
while you're
under the influence,
00:03:03.83\00:03:05.70
all these can
have dangerous affects.
00:03:05.73\00:03:07.64
Medicines can kill,
medicines do kill and I bet you
00:03:07.67\00:03:10.89
if you added up all
the desk from medications
00:03:10.92\00:03:13.66
around the world and
have an accurate assessment,
00:03:13.69\00:03:16.32
not only the mistakes made
but the manufacturing mistakes,
00:03:16.35\00:03:19.58
the poly pharmaceuticals,
the anaphylactic reactions,
00:03:19.61\00:03:23.60
the adverse drug reactions
which any of these can have.
00:03:23.63\00:03:26.83
It might be the
number one killer
00:03:26.86\00:03:28.48
of all people in the world.
00:03:28.51\00:03:30.14
You're being killed by
what suppose to cure us.
00:03:30.17\00:03:32.12
Well, here are some
questions, Dr. Marcum,
00:03:32.15\00:03:34.48
from the
heartwiseministries.org website.
00:03:34.51\00:03:37.94
Now you have your-- a
collection of medications
00:03:37.97\00:03:40.77
and some of them are actually
herbs and here's the question.
00:03:40.80\00:03:43.49
What is the most
significant danger
00:03:43.52\00:03:45.89
in your opinion of
taking a medication?
00:03:45.92\00:03:49.11
She's not being Or
he's not being specific
00:03:49.14\00:03:50.90
just taking a medication
that would include these.
00:03:50.93\00:03:53.53
Well, that, you know, what
is the most significant danger?
00:03:53.56\00:03:55.86
And I think one is taking a
medication that you don't need
00:03:55.89\00:04:00.67
because you're taking a risk
00:04:00.70\00:04:02.07
that you don't need. Okay.
00:04:02.10\00:04:03.47
And also not understanding
the medication how to take it.
00:04:03.50\00:04:07.14
Those two things have to be
00:04:07.17\00:04:08.54
at near the top
of the list. Okay.
00:04:08.57\00:04:10.12
I see a lot of people,
00:04:10.15\00:04:11.52
they're taking
medications and I say them
00:04:11.55\00:04:12.93
why are you taking
this? I don't know.
00:04:12.96\00:04:14.95
Doctor said so. Right, I
don't know how I'm taking it.
00:04:14.98\00:04:17.59
but a lot of
people-- lot of people
00:04:17.62\00:04:19.12
are taking medicines
that they don't really need.
00:04:19.15\00:04:21.44
And every time you
add a medication up,
00:04:21.47\00:04:23.32
there's a chance of a reaction,
00:04:23.35\00:04:25.42
you know. For instance,
cholesterol medications,
00:04:25.45\00:04:29.68
I use them all the
time, they're called statins.
00:04:29.71\00:04:31.99
They help lower
the cholesterol level.
00:04:32.02\00:04:34.47
But the same time, they've
also cause death in people
00:04:34.50\00:04:37.53
by a dangerous
condition called rhabdomyolysis.
00:04:37.56\00:04:39.61
Now when you say you use
them and you prescribe them.
00:04:39.64\00:04:41.28
Yes, I prescribe them,
but we have to keep an eye.
00:04:41.31\00:04:43.71
Are you having a side
effect of muscle aches?
00:04:43.74\00:04:46.03
Are you having liver damage
that these pills can have.
00:04:46.06\00:04:48.45
And these medicines
have to be monitored.
00:04:48.48\00:04:50.58
So you always have to look
at the risk and the benefits.
00:04:50.61\00:04:53.19
Now patient might not understand
the risk of a medication
00:04:53.22\00:04:56.57
and be on one
and have muscle aches
00:04:56.60\00:04:58.28
and not going to
bathroom and feeling horrible
00:04:58.31\00:05:00.27
and they might be
having a dangerous side effect
00:05:00.30\00:05:02.49
and blame it on
something else. Yeah, yeah.
00:05:02.52\00:05:04.43
So you can see not
understanding the medications
00:05:04.46\00:05:06.56
that a person is on and
just accepting them blindly
00:05:06.59\00:05:09.93
can be risky for a person. Okay.
00:05:09.96\00:05:12.58
Another question here from
heartwiseministries.org website.
00:05:12.61\00:05:15.09
Is it possible to be
taken off a medication?
00:05:15.12\00:05:18.62
I bet you sure
understand this question,
00:05:18.65\00:05:20.70
do they think that
medications are forever?
00:05:20.73\00:05:22.73
Do we need to know
something about it?
00:05:22.76\00:05:25.15
Yes, it is possible
to be off medications.
00:05:25.18\00:05:27.47
Let me give you some examples.
00:05:27.50\00:05:28.87
Let's say you're
on a sleeping pill
00:05:28.90\00:05:30.79
and the reason you
don't sleep well at night,
00:05:30.82\00:05:32.61
because you eat a
big meal at night.
00:05:32.64\00:05:34.16
Maybe just not
eating the big meal at night
00:05:34.19\00:05:36.43
will solve that problem.
00:05:36.46\00:05:37.90
Yeah, you know, let
say you're diabetic,
00:05:37.93\00:05:40.17
you're on
danger-- diabetes medicines
00:05:40.20\00:05:42.29
which lower the blood sugar.
00:05:42.32\00:05:43.69
If your blood sugar goes
too lower, you could pass out.
00:05:43.72\00:05:46.26
You'll go into coma.
00:05:46.29\00:05:47.75
Let's say you get
on an exercise program,
00:05:47.78\00:05:50.09
eat a healthy diet and
then your blood sugar is so good
00:05:50.12\00:05:52.64
that you don't need a medicine.
00:05:52.67\00:05:54.45
Well, how about this, let's say
you have high blood pressure,
00:05:54.48\00:05:56.97
and you start an
exercise program, you start
00:05:57.00\00:05:58.95
cutting back on your
sodium. I'm drinking water.
00:05:58.98\00:06:00.91
You're drinking lots of water,
00:06:00.94\00:06:02.43
and then they check your
blood pressure and it's low.
00:06:02.46\00:06:04.36
Then you can be off that
blood pressure medicine. Okay.
00:06:04.39\00:06:06.95
You know so there's lots of
conditions that you don't need.
00:06:06.98\00:06:10.19
Let's say, you know, one of
the most popular medications are
00:06:10.22\00:06:12.57
these antidepressant, okay.
00:06:12.60\00:06:14.68
Let's say you're
on a antidepressant,
00:06:14.71\00:06:16.76
and the real problem is you
don't get out in the sunlight
00:06:16.79\00:06:19.10
and make serotonin. It's
a vitamin D problem. Right.
00:06:19.13\00:06:22.38
So let's say you
go out in the sunshine
00:06:22.41\00:06:23.93
and get vitamin
D and exercise more
00:06:23.96\00:06:25.97
and the depression goes away
and you don't need it anymore.
00:06:26.00\00:06:28.72
The medicine you're
not taking can't hurt you,
00:06:28.75\00:06:31.07
is that what you say? Exactly.
00:06:31.10\00:06:32.76
So there's a lots of ways,
but you know, unfortunately
00:06:32.79\00:06:35.57
in this world we
live, you don't make a buck
00:06:35.60\00:06:38.01
by teaching someone how
to take care of themselves.
00:06:38.04\00:06:40.33
You make a buck by
writing the prescription.
00:06:40.36\00:06:42.88
Billions of prescriptions
are written in a year
00:06:42.91\00:06:45.09
and if you think of a
billion prescriptions,
00:06:45.12\00:06:47.10
there's gonna be
lots of mistakes.
00:06:47.13\00:06:48.90
And if there's lot of
mistakes at any level by anybody
00:06:48.93\00:06:52.03
whether it's being
taking them correctly,
00:06:52.06\00:06:54.05
or in the
manufacturing, or the doctor
00:06:54.08\00:06:56.33
or the pharmacy, or the people
00:06:56.36\00:06:57.73
that actually
put it in the bottle
00:06:57.76\00:06:59.13
whoever that might be,
00:06:59.16\00:07:00.53
will make the
active ingredients,
00:07:00.56\00:07:01.96
there can be mistakes
and when mistakes are made,
00:07:01.99\00:07:04.92
people can get
hurt and people die.
00:07:04.95\00:07:06.97
And what's really killing us
now is all the extra narcotics.
00:07:07.00\00:07:10.49
You know, people
are on this pill meals.
00:07:10.52\00:07:12.25
They want to quick
high and they don't realize
00:07:12.28\00:07:14.36
that these
medications are killing people
00:07:14.39\00:07:16.82
and they're taking away life,
00:07:16.85\00:07:18.47
and young peoples
life, these are killing.
00:07:18.50\00:07:20.62
And I keep wondering how
many car accidents are happening
00:07:20.65\00:07:23.66
because people oh,
you know, they're anxious,
00:07:23.69\00:07:25.55
so what you wanna do?
00:07:25.58\00:07:26.95
Well, let's take three
or four sleeping pills,
00:07:26.98\00:07:28.55
let's take five sleeping
pills, before you know what,
00:07:28.58\00:07:30.91
You know, they're
impaired in other ways
00:07:30.94\00:07:32.99
and the side
effects are multiplicative.
00:07:33.02\00:07:36.06
You know you take one,
00:07:36.09\00:07:37.46
you get these side
effects, you have these.
00:07:37.49\00:07:38.86
What happens when
you've 20 side effects
00:07:38.89\00:07:40.26
of all these medicines
and then you get dehydrated
00:07:40.49\00:07:43.13
so the medicines
don't get broke down
00:07:43.16\00:07:45.31
and they stay in your body
a lot longer than they should.
00:07:45.34\00:07:47.96
You can see we've a
catastrophic problem
00:07:47.99\00:07:50.64
that someone needs to talk about
and let people know that yes,
00:07:50.67\00:07:53.82
you can be off
medications. Right.
00:07:53.85\00:07:56.67
I've never heard of one case
00:07:56.70\00:07:58.07
where a person
overdosed on broccoli,
00:07:58.10\00:07:59.96
something to think about.
00:07:59.99\00:08:01.36
All right,
here's another question
00:08:01.39\00:08:02.76
from the
heartwiseministries.org website.
00:08:02.79\00:08:04.78
What is the most
common mistake a patient makes
00:08:04.81\00:08:07.90
in taking their medication?
00:08:07.93\00:08:09.61
Yeah, I think the most
common mistake that I see
00:08:09.64\00:08:12.87
is they take the medication--
00:08:12.90\00:08:16.23
a medication
that can be dangerous
00:08:16.26\00:08:17.63
when they're ill.
00:08:17.66\00:08:19.03
For instance, let's say,
00:08:19.06\00:08:20.80
Charles, you're taking
a blood pressure medicine,
00:08:20.83\00:08:22.91
and that you
really need it, okay.
00:08:22.94\00:08:25.19
and let's say
you're dehydrated, okay
00:08:25.22\00:08:27.77
and you're not
eating and drinking
00:08:27.80\00:08:29.29
and you keep taking
this blood pressure medicine.
00:08:29.32\00:08:31.69
And because you're dehydrated,
00:08:31.72\00:08:33.09
your blood
pressure is already low.
00:08:33.12\00:08:34.49
So you take this medicine
and it goes that much lower
00:08:34.52\00:08:37.02
and it gets so low that you
get dizzy when you stand up.
00:08:37.05\00:08:40.31
Let's say you live
at top of a high stairs
00:08:40.34\00:08:42.87
and you're dehydrated
and take this medicine,
00:08:42.90\00:08:44.59
your blood pressure is 60,
you get up and you pass out
00:08:44.62\00:08:47.03
and roll down your stairs.
00:08:47.06\00:08:48.64
So a lot of
people don't know that
00:08:48.67\00:08:50.04
when they are sick
because the kidneys
00:08:50.07\00:08:52.46
and liver help metabolize
most of these medicines
00:08:52.49\00:08:55.14
you've to be very
careful about the medicines.
00:08:55.17\00:08:57.33
I give a medication called
Coumadin, a blood thinner.
00:08:57.36\00:09:00.13
Well, there's so many
medicines, including broccoli
00:09:00.16\00:09:02.75
which effect these medications.
00:09:02.78\00:09:04.90
So, you know, if you're bleeding
00:09:04.93\00:09:07.07
and you keep
taking the Coumadin,
00:09:07.10\00:09:08.70
that could be a
serious thing. Yes.
00:09:08.73\00:09:10.38
And I have a lot of people
that are bleeding internally
00:09:10.41\00:09:12.47
and they come out,
00:09:12.50\00:09:13.87
one of the ways we tell that is,
00:09:13.90\00:09:15.27
if their stools come out black
00:09:15.30\00:09:17.18
that could be a sign
of internal bleeding.
00:09:17.21\00:09:18.96
And yet they keep
taking their Coumadin
00:09:18.99\00:09:20.76
and all of a
sudden they keep bleeding,
00:09:20.79\00:09:22.16
and bleeding, and bleeding,
00:09:22.19\00:09:23.56
and that could
be catastrophic too.
00:09:23.59\00:09:25.64
Now then there is people
that shouldn't be doing things
00:09:25.67\00:09:28.40
on medicines like, if
you're taking Coumadin,
00:09:28.43\00:09:30.55
you shouldn't be
doing dangerous things,
00:09:30.58\00:09:32.13
and you
shouldn't be boxing people,
00:09:32.16\00:09:33.77
and you shouldn't
be fighting people.
00:09:33.80\00:09:35.26
So a lot of people are
just not aware of the dangers
00:09:35.29\00:09:38.15
and the things they're
doing with their medications.
00:09:38.18\00:09:39.61
They just don't
really think about it.
00:09:39.64\00:09:41.26
Now, Dr. Marcum, all of
these medications come with,
00:09:41.29\00:09:45.14
well, at least
the ones from the--
00:09:45.17\00:09:46.54
from the Medical
Association. Yes.
00:09:46.57\00:09:47.97
Come with just, you
know, pages and pages,
00:09:48.00\00:09:50.13
Doesn't anyone read those thing?
00:09:50.16\00:09:51.53
I'm saying no one is
reading those, Charles.
00:09:51.56\00:09:53.56
What can I say.
00:09:53.59\00:09:54.96
You know, people
aren't reading those
00:09:54.99\00:09:56.36
and sometimes even the
doctors don't even understand.
00:09:56.39\00:09:57.84
I don't think
people want to read those,
00:09:57.87\00:09:59.61
because if they do
they may think twice.
00:09:59.64\00:10:01.53
Right, and you get one doctor
just writing prescriptions,
00:10:01.56\00:10:04.20
let's say for
depression and anxiety
00:10:04.23\00:10:06.41
and he doesn't
realize, the person
00:10:06.44\00:10:07.81
is on some other medications,
00:10:07.84\00:10:09.21
that interact with
some heart medicines
00:10:09.24\00:10:11.04
that can make the
heart speed up and go wild
00:10:11.07\00:10:13.46
and before you know these
medication interact with these
00:10:13.49\00:10:15.92
and you have the
dangerous heart rhythm,
00:10:15.95\00:10:17.76
and we see this all too
often, medicines can kill.
00:10:17.79\00:10:20.91
We want our
viewers to understand,
00:10:20.94\00:10:23.01
look at your medicines, learn
about them, ask your doctors,
00:10:23.04\00:10:25.92
make sure
there's no interactions
00:10:25.95\00:10:27.32
and you can get off any of
them by changing your chemistry.
00:10:27.35\00:10:30.15
This is what we want
you think about. Absolutely.
00:10:30.18\00:10:33.02
I think we have time
for one final question here.
00:10:33.05\00:10:35.87
Well, I think
you've answered this.
00:10:35.90\00:10:37.27
What is the best way to
avoid the dangers of medication?
00:10:37.30\00:10:39.73
I would say
simply make it possible
00:10:39.76\00:10:42.86
where you don't need them.
00:10:42.89\00:10:44.26
That's right.
Okay. That's right.
00:10:44.29\00:10:45.91
And if you think
about it, Charles,
00:10:45.94\00:10:47.52
through most of
human kind history,
00:10:47.55\00:10:50.02
do we take lots
of medications? No.
00:10:50.05\00:10:52.82
Two hundred years ago, you
were considered a bad doctor
00:10:52.85\00:10:56.27
if you didn't put
leeches on people.
00:10:56.30\00:10:57.87
Yes. Okay.
00:10:57.90\00:10:59.27
Now, are we gonna
look back in history
00:10:59.30\00:11:01.37
and say, listen, these doctors
00:11:01.40\00:11:02.77
have put all these medicines
that particularly killed.
00:11:02.80\00:11:04.67
Sometimes the medicines
do more harm than good,
00:11:04.70\00:11:06.92
this is something
we must talk about,
00:11:06.95\00:11:08.81
we must think
about, we must educate it.
00:11:08.84\00:11:11.24
medicines kill people.
00:11:11.27\00:11:12.64
just like heart disease,
00:11:12.67\00:11:14.04
just like
cancer, just like stroke.
00:11:14.07\00:11:15.44
So we have to use
medicines responsible.
00:11:15.47\00:11:18.36
You know, Dr. Marcum, one
of the most important things
00:11:18.39\00:11:20.25
that we need to remember
is that there is an answer
00:11:20.28\00:11:23.51
to the questions we have.
00:11:23.54\00:11:25.35
There is a way of living.
00:11:25.38\00:11:27.52
There is a guide book
and that's God's word.
00:11:27.55\00:11:31.03
And if you look
at the Eden ideal,
00:11:31.06\00:11:32.88
if you look at the
way God created the world,
00:11:32.91\00:11:35.28
there's where
you find the answers.
00:11:35.31\00:11:36.70
it's not found in
these bottles and pills.
00:11:36.73\00:11:39.45
It's not found
in these portions.
00:11:39.48\00:11:41.43
It's found in living the
way God designed us to live
00:11:41.46\00:11:44.71
using the medicines that
God made available for us
00:11:44.74\00:11:48.08
in the Garden of Eden.
00:11:48.11\00:11:49.67
We'll be right back and talk
00:11:49.70\00:11:51.07
with the master physician
in a minute, so stay tuned.
00:11:51.10\00:11:53.85
We have been talking
about medications today
00:11:57.31\00:12:00.71
not in the context
that we usually talk about.
00:12:00.74\00:12:03.24
Talk about medications
can actually kill people
00:12:03.27\00:12:06.74
just like heart attacks,
00:12:06.77\00:12:08.14
just like
strokes, just like cancer.
00:12:08.17\00:12:09.84
Medications can kill people.
00:12:09.87\00:12:12.36
you know I was
trained using medications
00:12:12.39\00:12:14.74
and through this
journey that I've been on,
00:12:14.77\00:12:17.02
I've learned that
medications can kill
00:12:17.05\00:12:18.88
and part of my
duty as a physician
00:12:18.91\00:12:22.81
is to let people know
00:12:22.84\00:12:24.21
that there's
dangers with medications.
00:12:24.24\00:12:26.11
we talked about them today,
there are couple of things
00:12:26.14\00:12:28.37
I want you to remember today.
00:12:28.40\00:12:30.19
Number one is medications
can kill, take them responsibly.
00:12:30.22\00:12:34.92
The second thing is
there's any medication
00:12:34.95\00:12:37.28
you can possibly be off,
00:12:37.31\00:12:39.24
see if your doctor can change
your chemistry in any other way.
00:12:39.27\00:12:43.15
It might be some of
the lifestyle changes,
00:12:43.18\00:12:45.12
it might be
having a healthy mind.
00:12:45.15\00:12:46.94
Might be something simple
as losing five or ten pounds.
00:12:46.97\00:12:49.81
So we want you to
be off the medication.
00:12:49.84\00:12:52.37
Now the prescription
that we do wanna write for you
00:12:52.40\00:12:55.04
is that prescription
with the ultimate physician,
00:12:55.07\00:12:57.77
the ultimate healer, the
one that can change your life,
00:12:57.80\00:13:00.83
the one that can save
you, that can heal you,
00:13:00.86\00:13:03.15
that can make
everything perfect in His time.
00:13:03.18\00:13:06.35
I want to invite you to bow
your heads with us right now.
00:13:06.38\00:13:08.85
Father in heaven, we
want to invite everyone
00:13:08.88\00:13:11.60
that hasn't accepted
you as their personal Savior
00:13:11.63\00:13:14.62
to come into a saving, healing
00:13:14.65\00:13:16.52
relationship with you, Father.
00:13:16.55\00:13:18.63
And help us to be smart
about the medications we use
00:13:18.66\00:13:21.54
and if there's any way possible,
00:13:21.57\00:13:22.94
you can help us to
be off these medication
00:13:22.97\00:13:25.07
by changing our lifestyle
00:13:25.10\00:13:26.62
or changing the
way we think or live.
00:13:26.65\00:13:28.28
Father, please
come into our hearts
00:13:28.31\00:13:29.98
and help us this day is
our humble prayer, right now.
00:13:30.01\00:13:35.18
Well, thank you
for joining us today,
00:13:35.21\00:13:37.09
talking about medications,
go into your medicine cabinet,
00:13:37.12\00:13:40.42
look at the
medications you're on,
00:13:40.45\00:13:42.74
see which ones you really need.
00:13:42.77\00:13:45.05
Talk to your
doctor about being off
00:13:45.08\00:13:47.14
some of these
medication if at all possible.
00:13:47.17\00:13:50.11
We'll be praying for you.
00:13:50.14\00:13:51.51
if you have
questions, go to our website,
00:13:51.54\00:13:53.08
