Two things are
necessary for human life...
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.95
an adequate blood
supply and oxygen.
00:00:02.98\00:00:05.88
We need both...
even when we sleep,
00:00:05.91\00:00:09.25
but sometimes... Stay tuned
00:00:09.28\00:00:13.65
I'm Dr. James Marcum
00:00:13.68\00:00:15.45
Are you interested in
discovering the reason why?
00:00:15.48\00:00:18.93
Do you want solutions to
your health care problems?
00:00:18.96\00:00:21.64
Are you tired of
taking medications?
00:00:21.67\00:00:24.82
Well, you're about to be given
the "Ultimate Prescription"
00:00:24.85\00:00:29.57
On today's broadcast,
we continue our series
00:00:29.60\00:00:32.06
on the major causes of death,
00:00:32.09\00:00:33.85
and this cause may surprise you!
00:00:33.88\00:00:36.53
If you thought that a
good night's sleep was when you
00:00:36.56\00:00:38.83
don't dream weird dreams,
00:00:38.86\00:00:40.46
you might want to pay close
attention to our broadcast.
00:00:40.49\00:00:43.21
Sleep is the final
frontier of health.
00:00:43.24\00:00:45.42
It's what makes being
awake and more to the point
00:00:45.45\00:00:48.28
being awake and
PRODUCTIVE possible.
00:00:48.31\00:00:50.81
Dr. Marcum, why are
cardiologists so interested
00:00:50.84\00:00:54.60
in SLEEP?
00:00:54.63\00:00:56.03
Well as you said in
your introduction Charles,
00:00:56.06\00:00:59.70
sleep is so important to us
to get rest and adequate oxygen.
00:00:59.73\00:01:04.59
You know, we were
originally made to
00:01:04.62\00:01:06.37
work 6 days and rest a day.
00:01:06.40\00:01:09.44
The Creator of the
universe said "Remember to rest"
00:01:09.47\00:01:12.13
...It's important as if
we were going to forget it
00:01:12.16\00:01:15.21
Also, He set up
these night/day pathways
00:01:15.24\00:01:18.32
and the circadian rhythms.
00:01:18.35\00:01:19.85
So we were designed to work
00:01:19.88\00:01:22.07
during the day
and rest at night.
00:01:22.10\00:01:24.49
Well Edison messed us
up with the light bulb
00:01:24.52\00:01:26.97
because now we think we
can stay awake all night long;
00:01:27.00\00:01:29.50
we're not resting well at night,
00:01:29.53\00:01:31.40
and unfortunately, now
people aren't even getting
00:01:31.43\00:01:33.70
the weekly rest.
00:01:33.73\00:01:35.10
So it's very
important to have good rest!
00:01:35.13\00:01:37.80
We also now have this
condition called "sleep apnea"
00:01:37.83\00:01:41.81
"Apnea" means not breathing.
00:01:41.84\00:01:43.74
So you're asleep but
you're not breathing.
00:01:43.77\00:01:47.17
Devastating
consequences go when you are
00:01:47.20\00:01:49.57
oxygen-deprived for
8 or 9 hours a night.
00:01:49.60\00:01:52.63
Just think about it, Charles...
00:01:52.66\00:01:54.03
If you held your breath
all the time for 8 or 9 hours,
00:01:54.06\00:01:56.36
you would not feel good. No
00:01:56.39\00:01:58.04
Well if this
happens day in and day out,
00:01:58.07\00:02:00.83
year in and year out, the
body is damaged terribly...
00:02:00.86\00:02:04.17
...Your body does not rest.
00:02:04.20\00:02:06.42
...It makes stress chemicals
which constrict blood vessels.
00:02:06.45\00:02:10.20
...It makes the
lungs have to work harder.
00:02:10.23\00:02:12.70
...It can cause the heart
to have funny heart rhythms
00:02:12.73\00:02:15.33
because all the
pressures dilate the chambers.
00:02:15.36\00:02:17.64
...It can raise
your blood pressure.
00:02:17.67\00:02:19.72
...You get tired very easily.
00:02:19.75\00:02:22.21
...You get irritable.
00:02:22.24\00:02:23.61
...You do things
that don't do well.
00:02:23.64\00:02:25.01
And then worse yet,
people that have sleep apnea
00:02:25.04\00:02:26.80
they're tired, so
guess what they do?
00:02:26.83\00:02:28.51
They say, "Well,
what can I do for energy?"
00:02:28.54\00:02:30.22
So they... give
me the pick-me-ups!
00:02:30.25\00:02:31.70
They might take
stimulants to get them going.
00:02:31.73\00:02:33.98
So they have this
up and down cycle,
00:02:34.01\00:02:36.06
and they're always TIRED!
00:02:36.09\00:02:38.02
You know, if you were a prisoner
in a prison camp, Charles,
00:02:38.05\00:02:40.46
and I wanted to get
information out of you,
00:02:40.49\00:02:42.18
and I wanted to
damage your brain,
00:02:42.21\00:02:43.63
I would sleep-deprive you...
00:02:43.66\00:02:45.03
THEN I would SHINE
things in your eyes,
00:02:45.06\00:02:46.59
and I'd say, "Wake up
Charles... TELL ME THE TRUTH"
00:02:46.62\00:02:48.24
And I'd do this
day in and day out,
00:02:48.27\00:02:50.03
it actually
damages peoples brains...
00:02:50.06\00:02:52.18
So they can't have
as good a relationship
00:02:52.21\00:02:54.32
when they have sleep apnea.
00:02:54.35\00:02:55.92
So sleep apnea
is a cause of death,
00:02:55.95\00:02:58.11
and I guess... what
brought this to the forefront
00:02:58.14\00:03:00.66
was a few years ago, the big
football player, "Reggie White"
00:03:00.69\00:03:03.75
an all-pro football player,
00:03:03.78\00:03:05.47
they found him passed away
00:03:05.50\00:03:06.87
with a sleep mask
not too far from him...
00:03:06.90\00:03:09.62
But sleep apnea affects
20 million or more Americans,
00:03:09.65\00:03:13.22
and many Americans are
walking around not knowing
00:03:13.25\00:03:15.76
they have sleep apnea.
00:03:15.79\00:03:17.48
Sleep apnea is usually caused
by people carrying extra weight,
00:03:17.51\00:03:21.68
so when they go to sleep,
00:03:21.71\00:03:23.08
their airways can't stay open...
00:03:23.11\00:03:24.76
And then, their
oxygen goes low, low, low...
00:03:24.79\00:03:28.05
and then an ALARM goes off,
and they grab a big breath...
00:03:28.08\00:03:31.01
They get enough
breath to stay alive,
00:03:31.04\00:03:33.24
and then they go
back to sleep again.
00:03:33.27\00:03:34.88
And then the cycle, you know,
00:03:34.91\00:03:36.28
of alarm off and alarm off,
it breaks the REM sleep cycles,
00:03:36.31\00:03:40.14
because you don't sleep
well; your oxygen levels,
00:03:40.17\00:03:41.90
and it's a real
devastating problem.
00:03:41.93\00:03:44.18
Now, it can lead to all
sorts of medical conditions;
00:03:44.21\00:03:47.18
atrial fibrillation;
00:03:47.21\00:03:48.58
it can lead to sudden
death from heart rhythms.
00:03:48.61\00:03:51.28
Of course the heart
doesn't like not having oxygen
00:03:51.31\00:03:54.31
...it can lead
to heart problems.
00:03:54.34\00:03:55.93
It can lead to
blood pressure problems.
00:03:55.96\00:03:58.05
It can lead to all
sorts of problems in the way
00:03:58.08\00:04:00.66
people think and behave.
00:04:00.69\00:04:02.42
It's just a devastating
problem that's affecting
00:04:02.45\00:04:04.51
millions and
millions of Americans.
00:04:04.54\00:04:06.07
Because the body
just requires oxygen,
00:04:06.10\00:04:08.06
and when you
don't have oxygen...
00:04:08.09\00:04:09.46
I can't think of a system in the
body that's not affected by that
00:04:09.49\00:04:12.07
It affects
everything and that's why,
00:04:12.98\00:04:14.89
not only good oxygen
but the process of REST.
00:04:14.92\00:04:18.06
You know and we as a society,
00:04:18.09\00:04:19.46
we're not
taking our weekly rest.
00:04:19.49\00:04:21.32
We're not even
resting at night anymore...
00:04:21.35\00:04:23.54
And rest is a real
treatment for disease.
00:04:23.57\00:04:26.34
If you broke your leg, Charles,
you wouldn't keep walking,
00:04:26.37\00:04:29.95
you'd put it in a cast and
let it rest so it could HEAL!
00:04:29.98\00:04:33.48
At night, things HEAL
00:04:33.51\00:04:35.16
if it's getting adequate OXYGEN!
00:04:35.19\00:04:37.52
We have a weekly break
where we're supposed to heal
00:04:37.55\00:04:40.20
both MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY
and SPIRITUALLY from the week.
00:04:40.23\00:04:43.44
As we don't do this,
we stray from the script
00:04:43.47\00:04:46.87
that God gave us at Creation;
00:04:46.90\00:04:48.46
bad things happen,
our body is damaged.
00:04:48.49\00:04:51.50
Now people that
have sleep apnea,
00:04:51.53\00:04:53.58
the first thing you want to know
is... do you have sleep apnea?
00:04:53.61\00:04:55.89
Do I have sleep
apnea? I don't think I do...
00:04:55.92\00:04:57.47
Do you have sleep
apnea? How would I know?
00:04:57.50\00:04:59.48
What would I do if
you came into the office?
00:04:59.51\00:05:00.88
First, I'd look for... Are you
having heart rhythm problems?
00:05:00.91\00:05:03.15
Are you having
blood pressure problems?
00:05:03.18\00:05:05.49
Are you tired all the time?
00:05:05.52\00:05:07.69
Do you have headaches?
00:05:07.72\00:05:09.10
Are you irritable?
00:05:09.13\00:05:10.91
Are you hard to get along with?
00:05:10.94\00:05:12.69
Are you having to take
pick-me-ups during the day?
00:05:12.72\00:05:15.73
This might give me clues
that you might have sleep apnea.
00:05:15.76\00:05:19.98
If you HAD sleep apnea
and I wanted to know for sure,
00:05:20.01\00:05:22.65
the test I would test
would be a sleep test.
00:05:22.68\00:05:25.37
Where you would lay
down and go to sleep;
00:05:25.40\00:05:28.12
we have you hooked up to
oxygen monitors, monitors,
00:05:28.15\00:05:31.00
and see if your oxygen
goes down when you're asleep.
00:05:31.03\00:05:34.00
And if it does, then
you HAVE SLEEP APNEA.
00:05:34.03\00:05:36.84
And the next type... you
know there are 2 types of
00:05:36.87\00:05:39.22
sleep apnea; the
obstructive sleep apnea -
00:05:39.25\00:05:41.33
where you can't
get oxygen in and out,
00:05:41.36\00:05:42.78
and sometimes the BRAIN can
cause you to quit breathing too.
00:05:42.81\00:05:46.39
So there are
different treatments for that,
00:05:46.42\00:05:48.48
and they can put an oxygen mask
on you and blow oxygen in you.
00:05:48.51\00:05:51.74
Now some people find
that very uncomfortable.
00:05:51.77\00:05:54.59
So what I
encourage people to do,
00:05:54.62\00:05:56.00
since most sleep apnea is
because of an obstruction,
00:05:56.03\00:06:00.03
I encourage - Well, let's
get rid of that obstruction.
00:06:00.06\00:06:02.15
We can sometimes do that
by losing weight and exercise.
00:06:02.18\00:06:05.93
We can sometimes do
that by moving some tissue
00:06:05.96\00:06:08.88
that might be
blocking the airway.
00:06:08.91\00:06:10.86
Sometimes people can even wear
a device that moves the tongue,
00:06:10.89\00:06:13.72
and it helps
keep the airway open.
00:06:13.75\00:06:15.64
But it's SO important to get
00:06:15.67\00:06:18.23
sleep apnea
evaluated and treated
00:06:18.26\00:06:20.16
because if you don't do
it, they say you could be
00:06:20.19\00:06:22.56
losing 20 years of
your life. 20 years?
00:06:22.59\00:06:25.49
Yes, and the life that you
do have... it's not as abundant.
00:06:25.52\00:06:29.30
And just think of it, if you're
oxygen-deprived all the time,
00:06:29.33\00:06:31.80
how are you going
to function at work?
00:06:31.83\00:06:33.88
How are you going to function
with your relationships?
00:06:33.91\00:06:36.22
How is the rest of your body?
00:06:36.25\00:06:37.62
So if you have sleep apnea,
and this.. that.. and the other,
00:06:37.65\00:06:40.19
it gets that much worse.
00:06:40.22\00:06:42.01
Let me tell you a story...
00:06:42.04\00:06:44.39
I take care of this man,
I'm not going to say his name,
00:06:44.42\00:06:47.27
let's call him "Tom"
and Tom had sleep apnea.
00:06:47.30\00:06:51.96
That was really the only
problem he had in his mid-30s
00:06:51.99\00:06:54.81
He didn't know
he had sleep apnea.
00:06:54.84\00:06:57.30
He was tired all the time.
00:06:57.33\00:06:59.04
Because he was
tired all the time,
00:06:59.07\00:07:00.44
his wife was on him
like you would not believe...
00:07:00.47\00:07:02.64
thought he was lazy!
00:07:02.67\00:07:04.04
He really wasn't lazy,
he just had sleep apnea.
00:07:04.07\00:07:06.48
He'd wake up in the morning
and he'd have to go to the
00:07:06.51\00:07:08.63
7- Eleven and
get some of these...
00:07:08.66\00:07:10.39
Have you seen these shots?
00:07:10.42\00:07:11.85
You know, they have these
like energy things... Oh yes-yes
00:07:11.88\00:07:14.04
And they cost $3 or
$4, and he'd spend $6 or $7
00:07:14.07\00:07:16.96
on 2 of those every
day just to get going.
00:07:16.99\00:07:19.99
Well I met him because
of high blood pressure,
00:07:20.02\00:07:22.25
and by the time he got to me,
00:07:22.28\00:07:23.74
not only had he had
high blood pressure,
00:07:23.77\00:07:25.88
but he had this rhythm
called "atrial fibrillation"
00:07:25.91\00:07:28.86
Because he didn't
take good care of himself,
00:07:28.89\00:07:31.38
and he gained some
weight, he had diabetes,
00:07:31.41\00:07:33.07
so they put him on
a diabetes medicine,
00:07:33.10\00:07:34.74
and, of course,
this made him depressed,
00:07:34.77\00:07:36.46
so he's on a
medicine for depression.
00:07:36.49\00:07:38.43
Well that wasn't the HALF of it!
00:07:38.46\00:07:40.05
The depression and
all this caused impotence,
00:07:40.08\00:07:42.34
so he's taking
Viagra on the side.
00:07:42.37\00:07:44.93
Because when he was home
at night, he would eat big;
00:07:44.96\00:07:48.55
he was on an acid medicine
that would make reflux come up.
00:07:48.58\00:07:52.16
So here he's on
6 or 7 medications
00:07:52.19\00:07:54.40
with the side
effects, being a young man
00:07:54.43\00:07:57.17
and in talking to
things, we talked about them
00:07:57.20\00:07:59.61
and you know, I
said, "You know what,
00:07:59.64\00:08:01.01
all this might be
related to sleep apnea. "
00:08:01.04\00:08:04.36
"Let's see if you
have sleep apnea. "
00:08:04.39\00:08:06.09
He says, "I don't want to have
00:08:06.12\00:08:07.49
the test, it's a drag -
I don't want to have it"
00:08:07.52\00:08:08.98
I said, Please,
we might be able to
00:08:09.01\00:08:10.39
get you off 5 or 6 medicines. "
00:08:10.43\00:08:11.80
"We might be able to
prevent all these problems
00:08:11.83\00:08:13.91
that I see
coming down the road. "
00:08:13.94\00:08:15.48
..."From high blood
pressure, from diabetes,
00:08:15.51\00:08:17.29
we might be able
to prevent these. "
00:08:17.32\00:08:18.80
"Come on, do it... Let's do
it, it's going to help us out"
00:08:18.83\00:08:21.57
So we talked to him.
00:08:21.60\00:08:22.97
I said, "I'm going to
be praying for you that
00:08:23.00\00:08:24.37
God will give you the strength
to at least do the test. "
00:08:24.40\00:08:26.47
Little things...
00:08:26.50\00:08:27.87
So he has the test
done and guess what?
00:08:27.90\00:08:29.78
He has sleep apnea!
00:08:29.81\00:08:31.18
Some of the worst sleep apnea
that the doctor had ever seen.
00:08:31.21\00:08:33.89
So we put him on the mask.
00:08:33.92\00:08:35.29
In a week or 2, he said,
"I started to feel better"
00:08:35.32\00:08:37.26
So when he felt better,
I said, "You know what?"
00:08:37.29\00:08:38.66
You might not have to
wear this mask forever
00:08:39.22\00:08:41.08
if you lose a few pounds. "
00:08:41.11\00:08:42.52
So he said,
"Well, how do I do that?"
00:08:42.55\00:08:44.35
And I said, "Well,
let's start simple. "
00:08:44.38\00:08:46.52
"Let's start in a relationship
00:08:46.55\00:08:48.30
with God who is going
to give you the power. "
00:08:48.33\00:08:50.06
So we did that and he
said, "Yeah, I feel better,
00:08:50.09\00:08:51.68
I feel like I can do this"
00:08:51.71\00:08:53.08
I said, "Well, let's start
by drinking water for a month"
00:08:53.11\00:08:55.68
So he drank ONLY
water for a month...
00:08:55.71\00:08:57.28
Gave up ALL the
energy drinks and everything.
00:08:57.31\00:08:59.50
Now, he withdrew a little bit,
but he started to feel better.
00:08:59.53\00:09:01.91
When he stopped
the energy drinks,
00:09:01.94\00:09:03.49
the rhythm and the blood
pressure started to come down.
00:09:03.52\00:09:06.57
So we said we'll
take another medicine off.
00:09:06.60\00:09:08.23
Then he said, "You know what,
00:09:08.26\00:09:09.63
this is really
working... What can I do next?"
00:09:09.66\00:09:11.70
I said, "Well let's
not eat big at night. "
00:09:11.73\00:09:13.44
"Remember, we're
supposed to rest at night"
00:09:13.47\00:09:15.00
We talked about
the circadian rhythms.
00:09:15.03\00:09:16.78
We supposed to
rest, and how can you rest
00:09:16.81\00:09:19.10
if you have this
big glob of food in you
00:09:19.13\00:09:22.04
that normally should
be in a refrigerator,
00:09:22.07\00:09:23.91
that's inside of
you, SPOILING in you.
00:09:23.94\00:09:26.37
And when I said... "All
this meat, eggs and cheese
00:09:26.40\00:09:28.48
is spoiling in you at night,
00:09:28.51\00:09:29.88
and you're getting
all the chemicals,"
00:09:29.91\00:09:31.28
he could see the pictures!
00:09:31.31\00:09:32.68
So he started eating some
fresh fruits and vegetables
00:09:32.71\00:09:34.41
after that at night.
00:09:34.44\00:09:35.81
So he started resting better
00:09:35.84\00:09:37.55
at night... the
sleep apnea got better.
00:09:37.58\00:09:39.04
The next thing,
he had enough energy
00:09:39.07\00:09:40.50
to actually start
walking on a regular basis.
00:09:40.53\00:09:42.26
So he started a walking program.
00:09:42.29\00:09:43.98
Now this took over a year,
00:09:44.01\00:09:45.83
but after a year
he lost 50 pounds;
00:09:45.86\00:09:47.95
his diabetes went away;
00:09:47.98\00:09:49.79
he quit eating big at night,
00:09:49.82\00:09:51.21
so he didn't have
the sleep sleep apnea,
00:09:51.24\00:09:52.67
and guess what happened?
00:09:52.70\00:09:54.07
His depression
went away real quick,
00:09:54.10\00:09:55.47
so he got off
the antidepressant;
00:09:55.50\00:09:57.43
his blood pressure
got improved right away,
00:09:57.46\00:09:59.56
and so did his rhythm,
00:09:59.59\00:10:00.96
and we tested him to
see if he had sleep apnea...
00:10:00.99\00:10:03.62
And one year after
making these changes,
00:10:03.65\00:10:05.32
he didn't have
sleep apnea at ALL.
00:10:05.35\00:10:07.20
And all the symptoms,
and all these downhill things
00:10:07.23\00:10:09.96
HAPPENED because we
didn't get at the cause,
00:10:09.99\00:10:13.12
and the cause was sleep apnea,
00:10:13.15\00:10:14.59
which, on him, was
caused by extra weight.
00:10:14.62\00:10:17.34
So if you think about the
world... we're getting heavier!
00:10:17.37\00:10:20.76
And as we get
heavier, we're going to have
00:10:20.79\00:10:22.39
more tissue around our neck;
00:10:22.42\00:10:23.81
we're going to have more
problems with sleep apnea.
00:10:23.84\00:10:26.80
So one of the REAL
treatments for sleep apnea
00:10:26.83\00:10:29.02
is to keep the
weight down on all of us.
00:10:29.05\00:10:31.12
So this was just a
sort of a remarkable story
00:10:31.15\00:10:33.45
about how
important sleep apnea is,
00:10:33.48\00:10:35.50
and the chronic long-term
consequences if we don't
00:10:35.53\00:10:38.26
deal with the
cause of the problem.
00:10:38.29\00:10:39.78
A beautiful illustration
of that domino effect
00:10:39.81\00:10:43.18
where you have one problem,
00:10:43.21\00:10:44.86
so you take a medicine
that leads to another problem,
00:10:44.89\00:10:47.50
and then that
develops another problem,
00:10:47.53\00:10:48.90
and on and on and on you go!
00:10:48.93\00:10:50.31
It's like a cycle, you're
just heading down-down-down.
00:10:50.34\00:10:53.22
Sleep apnea... Okay, so
there are tests you can do
00:10:53.25\00:10:57.02
to find out if
they have sleep apnea.
00:10:57.05\00:10:58.42
If they have that sleep apnea,
00:10:58.45\00:10:59.82
they make lifestyle changes.
00:10:59.85\00:11:01.46
Is there a sleep
apnea medicine out there?
00:11:01.49\00:11:04.79
Is there some kind of drug?
00:11:04.82\00:11:06.19
Well, not really...
because really they just
00:11:06.22\00:11:08.39
wear the mask at night.
00:11:08.42\00:11:09.79
But that brings up a very
important point... is REST
00:11:09.82\00:11:12.48
You know, there are a lot
of sleeping pills out there
00:11:12.51\00:11:15.18
to help people to rest.
00:11:15.21\00:11:16.66
But if you're not breathing,
00:11:16.69\00:11:18.06
why would you want
to have a sleeping pill
00:11:18.09\00:11:19.46
that you won't even
wake up ... Exactly right...
00:11:19.49\00:11:21.41
Yeah, and so what I'm
always talking about is
00:11:21.44\00:11:23.38
...how can people rest better?
00:11:23.41\00:11:25.52
And, even if they
don't have sleep apnea,
00:11:25.55\00:11:27.96
we want them to REST because
00:11:27.99\00:11:29.49
during REST, they
have a chance to heal...
00:11:29.52\00:11:31.96
And both the nightly
rest and the weekly rest.
00:11:31.99\00:11:35.76
So I encourage everyone
to get into a weekly rest;
00:11:35.79\00:11:38.42
a Sabbath-type rest where
they can let their body recover.
00:11:38.45\00:11:41.92
There is real
chemical benefits from that.
00:11:41.95\00:11:44.53
And I wish I could do a
study of a million people
00:11:44.56\00:11:47.31
that rested one day a week,
00:11:47.34\00:11:48.90
a spiritual, physical
rest and those that didn't...
00:11:48.93\00:11:51.94
And see who had
the better chemistry.
00:11:51.97\00:11:53.74
Well I know what the results
of that study would show.
00:11:53.77\00:11:56.60
A lot of chronic
disease would go away.
00:11:56.63\00:11:58.88
A lot of these
causes of death that we see
00:11:58.91\00:12:01.02
would
dramatically be diminished.
00:12:01.05\00:12:03.41
Then I also work
on this nightly rest.
00:12:03.44\00:12:05.58
In people that
don't sleep well at night,
00:12:05.61\00:12:07.76
even if they
don't have sleep apnea,
00:12:07.79\00:12:09.17
I say, "Why don't
you sleep well at night?"
00:12:09.20\00:12:10.87
Well, we found out the causes.
00:12:10.90\00:12:12.29
People are taking
too many stimulants...
00:12:12.32\00:12:14.42
caffeine, nicotine, alcohol
00:12:14.45\00:12:16.95
People were watching TV that
keeps them revved up at night.
00:12:16.98\00:12:20.23
Some people have the medical
problems like sleep apnea,
00:12:20.26\00:12:22.81
going to the bathroom.
00:12:22.84\00:12:24.21
Some people don't
exercise at night.
00:12:24.24\00:12:26.47
So there are lots of reasons
that people aren't resting well,
00:12:26.50\00:12:29.38
and if we can get at
the cause of the reason
00:12:29.41\00:12:31.17
they're not resting well,
we have a much greater chance
00:12:31.20\00:12:34.09
of getting them to rest
well and NOT need medications
00:12:34.12\00:12:37.03
which don't really
address the problem.
00:12:37.06\00:12:39.18
We are just out of sync
in what God wanted us to do.
00:12:39.21\00:12:43.53
It's just so obvious that
as I listen to you talk about
00:12:43.56\00:12:48.14
these causes of death
and I listen to you show
00:12:48.17\00:12:52.09
the consequences...
00:12:52.12\00:12:53.96
This is SERIOUS STUFF!
00:12:53.99\00:12:56.45
This is NOT... Well, okay
I'll just have to live with this
00:12:56.48\00:12:59.67
Or, it's just
because that's my genes.
00:12:59.70\00:13:02.98
It goes WAY beyond that.
00:13:03.01\00:13:04.38
It's the CHOICES
that we make day after day
00:13:04.41\00:13:06.98
that could make a huge
difference in our lives.
00:13:07.01\00:13:08.75
Yeah, and the real solution
to our health care dilemma -
00:13:08.78\00:13:11.83
the real answer is in plugging
into the Ultimate Physician,
00:13:11.86\00:13:16.70
the Great Physician -
learning what He wants us to do;
00:13:16.73\00:13:19.78
to stay well and to be
happy because He made us!
00:13:19.81\00:13:21.18
He knows what's BEST for us!
00:13:22.12\00:13:23.63
And yet we've
drifted from that plan.
00:13:23.66\00:13:26.01
And as medical
professionals, as individuals,
00:13:26.04\00:13:28.82
we need to get back to
that to find good health.
00:13:28.85\00:13:31.44
All right, we'll take a short
break and when we come back
00:13:31.47\00:13:33.93
your questions from
heartwiseministries. org
00:13:33.96\00:13:36.56
So stay tuned.
00:13:36.60\00:13:38.58
