Optimum health requires
the free flow of materials
00:00:16.41\00:00:20.77
into and out of your body.
00:00:20.80\00:00:23.64
We know about food;
today we talk about waste.
00:00:23.67\00:00:27.86
Stay tuned!
00:00:27.89\00:00:30.23
I'm Dr. James Marcum
00:00:30.26\00:00:32.25
Are you interested in
discovering the reason why?
00:00:32.28\00:00:35.46
Do you want solutions to
your healthcare problems?
00:00:35.49\00:00:38.33
Are you tired of
taking medications?
00:00:38.36\00:00:41.11
Well, you're about to be
given the Ultimate Prescription
00:00:41.14\00:00:46.29
Anyone who has ever
experienced the passing of a
00:00:46.32\00:00:49.09
kidney stone will tell you
that PAIN has a brand new name.
00:00:49.12\00:00:52.88
Then there is prostate problems,
00:00:52.91\00:00:55.30
embarrassing inconveniences
that can turn deadly.
00:00:55.33\00:00:58.34
What can we do to mitigate
such issue in our lives?
00:00:58.37\00:01:01.37
Are pain, drugs and
surgery our only options?
00:01:01.40\00:01:05.12
Dr. Marcum, how would
you answer that question?
00:01:05.15\00:01:08.06
Well I would say
- I hope they're not
00:01:08.09\00:01:09.77
our only options, Charles,
00:01:09.80\00:01:11.24
but unfortunately,
people do pass kidney stones.
00:01:11.27\00:01:15.27
They do have prostate problems.
00:01:15.30\00:01:17.52
They do have kidney problems.
00:01:17.55\00:01:19.41
Sometimes we have
urinary tract infections,
00:01:19.44\00:01:22.43
and a lot of waste passes
out through what I call the
00:01:22.46\00:01:26.34
"urogenital system"
00:01:26.37\00:01:28.17
So a lot of wastes
are passing that way,
00:01:28.20\00:01:30.76
and I want to talk a
little bit before we get going
00:01:30.79\00:01:33.11
about all these
questions that have come in with
00:01:33.14\00:01:35.23
stones and prostates, a
little bit about this system
00:01:35.26\00:01:38.40
that removes
waste from our bodies.
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.34
You know, we get all
these toxic substances in,
00:01:40.37\00:01:43.79
and we have to have good
systems to remove the wastes.
00:01:43.82\00:01:46.76
I guess a lot of people
know that when we breathe,
00:01:46.79\00:01:49.56
we remove wastes and a lot
of people take that for granted,
00:01:49.59\00:01:53.45
but our breathing is very
important to our chemistry
00:01:53.48\00:01:55.90
of our body.
00:01:55.93\00:01:57.07
When you take deep, slow
breaths, you get all that...
00:01:57.10\00:01:59.45
but when you
breathe fast under stress,
00:01:59.48\00:02:01.34
you can build-up,
eliminate wastes and it
00:02:01.37\00:02:05.46
comes from the lungs. Wow
00:02:05.49\00:02:07.26
So we want to get rid
of oxygen well easily.
00:02:07.29\00:02:10.47
Then we have, of
course, the GI tract,
00:02:10.50\00:02:12.92
everyone knows about that.
00:02:12.95\00:02:14.46
And we get waste - we
eat our waste from that
00:02:14.49\00:02:16.64
tract and it gets in our
system and then it doesn't
00:02:16.67\00:02:18.80
get removed.
00:02:18.83\00:02:20.06
We've talked about the
different things we breathe in.
00:02:20.09\00:02:22.88
The only way we can
remove those wastes is with our
00:02:22.91\00:02:24.90
breathing patterns.
00:02:24.93\00:02:26.39
Then we have the blood waste,
00:02:26.42\00:02:28.92
and a lot of that
comes out through our kidneys
00:02:28.95\00:02:31.81
and urogenital tracts -
so that's very important.
00:02:31.84\00:02:33.96
That's why we encourage
lots of water to help flush
00:02:33.99\00:02:36.55
that waste out.
00:02:36.58\00:02:38.36
Then we encourage - of course,
the liver helps us detoxify
00:02:38.39\00:02:41.71
waste and that
eventually moves through the
00:02:41.74\00:02:43.76
blood system as well.
00:02:43.79\00:02:44.83
So waste is a big
deal and we have to have
00:02:44.86\00:02:47.04
the parts of our body
that REMOVE waste working well,
00:02:47.07\00:02:50.79
otherwise, these toxic
substances build up in us.
00:02:50.82\00:02:53.67
When our kidneys fail
from whatever reason...
00:02:53.70\00:02:55.64
Let's say a stone
clogs up one of the ducts,
00:02:55.67\00:02:58.52
you can go into kidney failure,
you can't remove your wastes.
00:02:58.55\00:03:01.49
And if you can't remove
the waste called "potassium,"
00:03:01.52\00:03:03.92
that can be fatal.
00:03:03.95\00:03:05.72
In your GI tract, you
know, you move carcinogens
00:03:05.75\00:03:09.13
throughout the system -
that's why FIBER helps move
00:03:09.16\00:03:11.78
transit time through.
00:03:11.81\00:03:13.18
If you don't get enough fiber
and you have all these wastes,
00:03:13.21\00:03:15.51
you increase the
chance of getting CANCER...
00:03:15.54\00:03:17.73
so that's another thing.
00:03:17.76\00:03:18.89
Also breathing - if you can't
get the wastes out of your lungs
00:03:18.92\00:03:22.25
and that, you also
have all sorts of problems.
00:03:22.28\00:03:24.66
Okay, air, fiber, and water...
00:03:24.69\00:03:28.65
Yeah, that's going
to help get some good
00:03:28.68\00:03:30.58
stuff moving through our system.
00:03:30.62\00:03:32.06
So how are we doing as humanity
in air, fiber and water?
00:03:32.09\00:03:38.04
Well, I think we could
probably keep doing better.
00:03:38.07\00:03:40.35
You know, we're not
breathing as good as well like.
00:03:40.38\00:03:42.93
We now know that 7 out of 10
people don't drink enough water,
00:03:42.96\00:03:46.33
and we now know that people
aren't taking in enough fiber.
00:03:46.36\00:03:49.39
So we're not doing well
and we wonder why we're getting
00:03:49.42\00:03:52.44
these diseases because we
don't allow the body to do
00:03:52.47\00:03:55.32
what it should do on it's own.
00:03:55.35\00:03:58.23
Hippocrates, one of my
favorite doctors, he says,
00:03:58.26\00:04:01.32
"Let the body heal thyself"
00:04:01.35\00:04:03.30
So if we give things to
let the body help itself out,
00:04:03.33\00:04:06.15
then we're in pretty good shape,
00:04:06.18\00:04:07.80
but unfortunately, we
don't help ourselves out,
00:04:07.83\00:04:10.28
and sooner or
later, we have problems.
00:04:10.31\00:04:12.17
Now this program, we just
specifically want to focus
00:04:12.21\00:04:15.32
on the urogenital system,
00:04:15.35\00:04:17.23
and a lot of people
don't know what that is,
00:04:17.26\00:04:19.08
so I want to talk a
little bit about what that is.
00:04:19.11\00:04:20.90
Well, it starts
with the kidneys, okay...
00:04:20.93\00:04:24.20
The blood moves
through the kidneys,
00:04:24.23\00:04:26.63
and the kidneys
are a giant filter.
00:04:26.66\00:04:28.90
It filters the bad things
and keeps the good things;
00:04:28.93\00:04:31.77
gets the wastes, keeps the good.
00:04:31.80\00:04:33.75
So if the kidney's
aren't working good,
00:04:33.78\00:04:35.92
you can't filter
out the bad. Right
00:04:35.95\00:04:37.80
That's not good - so you want
to have good kidneys working.
00:04:37.83\00:04:40.41
And, once the
kidneys get the waste out,
00:04:40.44\00:04:43.20
it goes through 2 tubes called
the ureter and then it passes
00:04:43.23\00:04:46.73
into a storage container
which is called the bladder,
00:04:46.76\00:04:49.69
and then it usually passes out
00:04:49.72\00:04:51.01
through a tube
called the "urethra"
00:04:51.05\00:04:52.92
and with that, there's lots
of other parts that go with it.
00:04:52.96\00:04:56.69
On the male, we have a
part called the "prostate,"
00:04:56.72\00:05:00.01
that sometimes is
around the urethra;
00:05:00.04\00:05:02.00
as it goes up, we have our
reproductive organs in that area
00:05:02.03\00:05:05.65
So a lot of stuff is going
on in this urogenital system.
00:05:05.68\00:05:09.56
And whenever we have
damage within the kidneys,
00:05:09.59\00:05:12.19
the ureters, the
urethra, we could have problems
00:05:12.22\00:05:15.83
eliminating wastes.
00:05:15.86\00:05:17.03
We can having
problems with infections,
00:05:17.06\00:05:18.68
and, of course, if anyone
has passed a kidney stone,
00:05:18.71\00:05:21.32
they can know it can
be very, very painful.
00:05:21.35\00:05:24.06
Have you ever passed a
stone? Never have... Okay
00:05:24.10\00:05:26.12
I've never
passed a stone either,
00:05:26.15\00:05:27.65
and we're going
to talk about stones,
00:05:27.68\00:05:29.59
and I hope no one out
there has passed a stone,
00:05:29.62\00:05:31.83
but I have heard from some men
and women that passed stones,
00:05:31.86\00:05:35.84
that passing a stone is
more painful than giving birth.
00:05:35.87\00:05:39.88
Oh MY! I've never done either
00:05:39.91\00:05:42.20
one of those and I
don't want to know,
00:05:42.23\00:05:44.40
I really don't want to
know either one of those,
00:05:44.43\00:05:47.10
but it's very painful.
00:05:47.13\00:05:48.23
So it's important that we learn
about what this system does.
00:05:48.26\00:05:50.04
We've talked about the water
to help take care of this system
00:05:50.91\00:05:54.20
And now, we're going to
sort of work on some questions
00:05:54.23\00:05:56.58
and answers regarding all
the things that can go wrong
00:05:56.61\00:05:59.24
with this from the
kidneys to the ureters,
00:05:59.27\00:06:01.40
to the bladder, to the urethra.
00:06:01.43\00:06:02.95
Now it's important for
us to stop right now...
00:06:02.98\00:06:06.02
You kept saying water...
00:06:06.05\00:06:09.45
Soda pop... Nope Tea... Nope
00:06:09.48\00:06:11.52
Coffee... Nope, nope, nope
Milk... Nope, nope - not as good
00:06:11.55\00:06:13.99
Orange juice - not
as good Apple juice - No
00:06:14.02\00:06:16.72
PRUNE juice - Well
prune juice has some benefits,
00:06:16.75\00:06:20.30
but we don't want to substitute
00:06:20.33\00:06:22.68
that instead of
water. There we go so...
00:06:22.71\00:06:24.60
And if anyone is watching
today that can't come away
00:06:24.64\00:06:27.53
with ONE thing today...
00:06:27.56\00:06:29.11
If you can do ONE
thing for your health today,
00:06:29.14\00:06:31.14
it would be for
the urogenital system -
00:06:31.17\00:06:33.03
to want to eliminate some
of the bad toxins in the body,
00:06:33.06\00:06:36.56
drink more water!
00:06:36.59\00:06:38.04
Did you take a shower this
morning, Charles? Absolutely!
00:06:38.07\00:06:40.36
You know, almost everyone
takes a shower every morning...
00:06:40.39\00:06:43.41
On the outside of
the body. Yeah, they do
00:06:43.44\00:06:44.71
And how many
people take a shower
00:06:44.74\00:06:47.00
on the inside of the body?
00:06:47.03\00:06:48.39
Not too many people
take a shower on the inside,
00:06:48.43\00:06:51.45
but it's just as important.
00:06:51.48\00:06:52.66
So what I tell people, in
the morning when they get up,
00:06:52.69\00:06:55.63
as they brush their teeth,
drink 3 or 4 glasses of water;
00:06:55.66\00:06:59.18
start to detoxify the system.
00:06:59.21\00:07:01.82
Before each meal,
drink a glass of water.
00:07:01.85\00:07:04.30
Everyone wants to know
how much water they need.
00:07:04.33\00:07:06.12
About 30 minutes before
each meal, I understand...
00:07:06.15\00:07:08.35
I will take it
ANY way! Really? Yes
00:07:08.38\00:07:10.46
They can take it during
the meal, after the meal;
00:07:10.49\00:07:12.22
I will just TAKE
IT. During the meal? Yes
00:07:12.25\00:07:13.95
I will just take it...
00:07:13.98\00:07:15.05
It's better than not
drinking it at all... EXACTLY
00:07:15.08\00:07:18.03
I will take water anywhere
that they will drink it.
00:07:18.06\00:07:22.01
So once people start
doing this, they always ask...
00:07:22.04\00:07:25.17
"Well, how much should I drink?"
00:07:25.20\00:07:26.90
You know water helps you fill up
... how much should you drink?
00:07:26.93\00:07:29.44
Well if you don't
have health problems,
00:07:29.48\00:07:30.90
and there is no sodium problems
or other medical condition,
00:07:30.93\00:07:33.90
if you take your
weight, divide it in 2,
00:07:33.93\00:07:37.14
that's about the
baseline you need.
00:07:37.17\00:07:39.27
In ounces... Yes in ounces
00:07:39.30\00:07:40.85
So if you weigh 200 pounds,
you need about 100 ounces,
00:07:40.88\00:07:43.65
that's just the
BASELINE. All right
00:07:43.68\00:07:45.37
Now a lot of people say,
another thing you can do is
00:07:45.40\00:07:47.51
just drink enough water until
your urine comes out clear,
00:07:47.54\00:07:51.30
and I will tell you,
you can have a lot of health
00:07:51.33\00:07:53.63
issues that water almost takes
care of all of them. Really
00:07:53.66\00:07:57.43
It thins the blood;
00:07:57.47\00:07:59.01
it helps the
kidneys eliminate waste;
00:07:59.04\00:08:01.28
it helps the bowels with toxins;
00:08:01.31\00:08:04.31
it lubricates all the joints;
00:08:04.34\00:08:06.26
it helps you think better;
00:08:06.29\00:08:07.70
it helps lower
the blood pressure;
00:08:07.73\00:08:09.38
it goes on and on about all
the good things that water does,
00:08:09.41\00:08:13.10
and yet, 7 out of 10
people are not drinking
00:08:13.13\00:08:16.28
enough water every day.
00:08:16.31\00:08:17.70
It thins the blood - are we
talking what Coumadin can do?
00:08:17.73\00:08:20.80
Well, not that same pathway.
00:08:21.49\00:08:24.04
It's more viscosity. I see
00:08:24.07\00:08:26.26
If you have a blood
that's full of fat and sludge,
00:08:26.29\00:08:28.87
and if you put more
fat and sludge in it,
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.14
it's not going to be thin,
but if you put water in it,
00:08:31.17\00:08:33.58
it dilutes what's
there. True - got it, got it!
00:08:33.61\00:08:35.71
So it's sort of a
dilution factor...
00:08:35.74\00:08:37.63
So actually, in some
studies, it lowers the risk of
00:08:37.66\00:08:40.48
heart attack much more effective
than even aspirin will. Wow...
00:08:40.51\00:08:43.59
So water, you know,
the universal solvent,
00:08:43.62\00:08:46.20
is sort of the
universal treatment.
00:08:46.23\00:08:48.66
Now that we're on water,
not only does it help the
00:08:48.69\00:08:51.01
urogenital system, but have
you heard of hydrotherapy? Yes
00:08:51.04\00:08:54.79
Yeah, we use water - you
know, hot and warm compresses
00:08:54.82\00:08:58.01
that increases or
decreases the blood.
00:08:58.04\00:09:00.10
So the body, again,
can help HEAL itself.
00:09:00.13\00:09:02.80
So the urogenital
system needs lots of water,
00:09:02.83\00:09:05.92
and if you don't
do one thing today...
00:09:05.95\00:09:07.62
I want you to, right
NOW, no NOT right now,
00:09:07.65\00:09:09.77
during our break, go
get a BIG glass of water.
00:09:09.80\00:09:12.68
Now everyone asks - Well what
type of water should I have?
00:09:12.72\00:09:14.66
You know, there are
so many waters out there.
00:09:15.35\00:09:17.22
There is distilled
water, well water...
00:09:17.25\00:09:20.24
There is lots of water
out there, and of course,
00:09:20.27\00:09:22.71
you already
mentioned when to drink water.
00:09:22.74\00:09:24.73
and I guess type A
people would want to drink it
00:09:24.76\00:09:26.97
at the right times,
but for most people,
00:09:27.00\00:09:29.36
since 7 out of 10
don't drink water,
00:09:29.39\00:09:31.76
if you'll just drink it,
that's the first step, you know.
00:09:31.79\00:09:34.43
Some people are worried
about the plastic bottles
00:09:34.46\00:09:36.98
that leach
phthalates out of it...
00:09:37.01\00:09:38.79
Well that does happen,
but mainly in people that
00:09:38.82\00:09:41.78
leave the bottles
in warm situations.
00:09:41.81\00:09:45.22
So I would just drink water,
00:09:45.25\00:09:46.89
that going to be the big thing.
00:09:46.92\00:09:48.10
Personally, we have
a filter on our water;
00:09:48.13\00:09:50.78
we have filtered water.
00:09:50.81\00:09:52.23
Some people argue that takes
minerals out of your water,
00:09:52.26\00:09:55.88
but the bottom line is...
00:09:55.91\00:09:56.94
I just want everyone to drink
water instead of soda pops,
00:09:56.97\00:09:59.73
teas and all this other stuff
00:09:59.76\00:10:01.39
that will help
the urogenital system,
00:10:01.42\00:10:03.06
and also will help numerous
other organ systems in the body.
00:10:03.09\00:10:06.74
The idea of
drinking water as a medicine,
00:10:06.77\00:10:10.91
it is just so simple and
is so not costly that people
00:10:10.94\00:10:16.48
believe that that can't
possibly do me any good.
00:10:16.51\00:10:18.70
WATER - to thin my blood?
00:10:18.73\00:10:20.58
WATER - to help
move things through?
00:10:20.61\00:10:22.44
WATER - to clean out my body?
00:10:22.47\00:10:24.20
WATER - To bring an end
to some of these diseases?
00:10:24.23\00:10:27.30
SOMETIMES the truth is
so simple and so powerful
00:10:27.33\00:10:32.80
that NO ONE
believes it! That's right!
00:10:32.83\00:10:35.10
It's so easy, but you
know, it only makes sense if you
00:10:35.13\00:10:38.81
have bad stuff in your body
that's literally poisoning you,
00:10:38.84\00:10:41.68
you want to move that
stuff OUT of your body
00:10:41.71\00:10:43.55
so it doesn't
continue to poison you.
00:10:43.58\00:10:45.42
Now, we talked
about kidney stones,
00:10:45.45\00:10:47.65
and that's a very
obvious problem that we can have
00:10:47.68\00:10:50.03
when we don't
have enough water...
00:10:50.06\00:10:51.37
What are some of
the other indications
00:10:51.40\00:10:53.03
other than the color
of the urine that we can
00:10:53.06\00:10:56.38
feel or sense that is saying...
00:10:56.41\00:10:58.53
"We don't have enough water"
00:10:58.56\00:10:59.64
I can give you one that
happened to me this morning.
00:10:59.67\00:11:01.41
You know, you can
get dizzy especially
00:11:01.44\00:11:04.69
when you change positions.
00:11:04.72\00:11:06.01
Your mouth might be dry.
00:11:06.04\00:11:08.16
You might not be able
to form tears very well.
00:11:08.19\00:11:12.85
There is a test
called "skin turgor"
00:11:12.88\00:11:15.03
where you hold up the
skin and when you release it,
00:11:15.06\00:11:17.65
it goes down.
00:11:17.68\00:11:19.14
If you're dehydrated, it
just sort of stays up there.
00:11:19.17\00:11:21.76
Right, because there's not
good hydration in the skin.
00:11:21.79\00:11:25.56
So that is something
that we can all do today is
00:11:25.59\00:11:28.72
we can all drink enough
WATER to help not only our
00:11:28.75\00:11:31.79
urogenital system
but our entire bodies,
00:11:31.82\00:11:33.93
helps move that waste out of us,
00:11:33.96\00:11:36.03
and if you think
about it, you know,
00:11:36.06\00:11:37.28
a lot of people
spend a lot of money on
00:11:37.31\00:11:39.39
detoxifying agents...
You've heard about them.
00:11:39.43\00:11:41.48
The special cleansing
formula and it do that and this,
00:11:41.51\00:11:44.19
and stuff you put up your
bottom and pull stuff out,
00:11:44.22\00:11:46.52
and stuff you eat
and it pulls stuff out...
00:11:46.55\00:11:48.54
Well you know what?
00:11:48.57\00:11:51.16
This is not too funny, but
I was into this for a while.
00:11:51.19\00:11:54.88
You know, I drank
water and I really felt good,
00:11:54.91\00:11:57.13
but someone said, "Why don't
you try some chlorophyll, okay,
00:11:57.16\00:12:00.32
to pull out things in
your body. Chlorophyll?
00:12:00.35\00:12:02.42
Yeah, that stuff
got me really messed up.
00:12:02.45\00:12:05.10
So all that stuff
you cannot believe,
00:12:05.13\00:12:07.47
but the simplest
things that God has given us
00:12:07.50\00:12:09.91
sometimes works the best as
far as detoxifying our bodies.
00:12:09.94\00:12:13.10
This morning when we
were doing a program,
00:12:13.13\00:12:15.02
I was beginning to
feel a little dizzy,
00:12:15.05\00:12:16.87
and my thoughts were not as
clear as I wanted them to be
00:12:16.90\00:12:19.79
as we were talking
here and I thought,
00:12:19.82\00:12:21.07
"Well what is wrong with me?"
00:12:21.10\00:12:22.71
And during the
break, I went out and took a
00:12:22.74\00:12:24.80
couple of glasses of
water, just straight water,
00:12:24.83\00:12:27.05
out there in the lobby
and the problems went away!
00:12:27.08\00:12:29.78
I felt great, energy came back.
00:12:29.81\00:12:32.27
Thoughts became
clear, so dehydration can
00:12:32.30\00:12:35.10
affect our
ability to think clearly,
00:12:35.13\00:12:37.50
and can bring about
all kinds of bad problems.
00:12:37.53\00:12:39.78
So I think that that
water message should be
00:12:39.81\00:12:42.42
preached from the
hilltops that we need to
00:12:42.45\00:12:44.24
have a good supply of
water to keep ourselves healthy.
00:12:44.27\00:12:46.99
And, wasn't it wonderful
of God to provide this simple
00:12:47.02\00:12:49.92
inexpensive solution to
so many problems that we have
00:12:49.95\00:12:53.67
in our health - WATER!
00:12:53.70\00:12:55.04
Good old water.
00:12:55.07\00:12:56.22
When we come back, we'll
answer some questions from
00:12:56.25\00:12:58.21
heartwiseministries. org
00:12:58.24\00:12:59.65
so don't go away!
00:12:59.68\00:13:01.66
