00:20 into and out of your body. 00:23 We know about food; today we talk about waste. 00:27 Stay tuned! 00:30 I'm Dr. James Marcum 00:32 Are you interested in discovering the reason why? 00:35 Do you want solutions to your healthcare problems? 00:38 Are you tired of taking medications? 00:41 Well, you're about to be given the Ultimate Prescription 00:46 Anyone who has ever experienced the passing of a 00:49 kidney stone will tell you that PAIN has a brand new name. 00:52 Then there is prostate problems, 00:55 embarrassing inconveniences that can turn deadly. 00:58 What can we do to mitigate such issue in our lives? 01:01 Are pain, drugs and surgery our only options? 01:05 Dr. Marcum, how would you answer that question? 01:08 Well I would say - I hope they're not 01:09 our only options, Charles, 01:11 but unfortunately, people do pass kidney stones. 01:15 They do have prostate problems. 01:17 They do have kidney problems. 01:19 Sometimes we have urinary tract infections, 01:22 and a lot of waste passes out through what I call the 01:26 "urogenital system" 01:28 So a lot of wastes are passing that way, 01:30 and I want to talk a little bit before we get going 01:33 about all these questions that have come in with 01:35 stones and prostates, a little bit about this system 01:38 that removes waste from our bodies. 01:40 You know, we get all these toxic substances in, 01:43 and we have to have good systems to remove the wastes. 01:46 I guess a lot of people know that when we breathe, 01:49 we remove wastes and a lot of people take that for granted, 01:53 but our breathing is very important to our chemistry 01:55 of our body. 01:57 When you take deep, slow breaths, you get all that... 01:59 but when you breathe fast under stress, 02:01 you can build-up, eliminate wastes and it 02:05 comes from the lungs. Wow 02:07 So we want to get rid of oxygen well easily. 02:10 Then we have, of course, the GI tract, 02:12 everyone knows about that. 02:14 And we get waste - we eat our waste from that 02:16 tract and it gets in our system and then it doesn't 02:18 get removed. 02:20 We've talked about the different things we breathe in. 02:22 The only way we can remove those wastes is with our 02:24 breathing patterns. 02:26 Then we have the blood waste, 02:28 and a lot of that comes out through our kidneys 02:31 and urogenital tracts - so that's very important. 02:33 That's why we encourage lots of water to help flush 02:36 that waste out. 02:38 Then we encourage - of course, the liver helps us detoxify 02:41 waste and that eventually moves through the 02:43 blood system as well. 02:44 So waste is a big deal and we have to have 02:47 the parts of our body that REMOVE waste working well, 02:50 otherwise, these toxic substances build up in us. 02:53 When our kidneys fail from whatever reason... 02:55 Let's say a stone clogs up one of the ducts, 02:58 you can go into kidney failure, you can't remove your wastes. 03:01 And if you can't remove the waste called "potassium," 03:03 that can be fatal. 03:05 In your GI tract, you know, you move carcinogens 03:09 throughout the system - that's why FIBER helps move 03:11 transit time through. 03:13 If you don't get enough fiber and you have all these wastes, 03:15 you increase the chance of getting CANCER... 03:17 so that's another thing. 03:18 Also breathing - if you can't get the wastes out of your lungs 03:22 and that, you also have all sorts of problems. 03:24 Okay, air, fiber, and water... 03:28 Yeah, that's going to help get some good 03:30 stuff moving through our system. 03:32 So how are we doing as humanity in air, fiber and water? 03:38 Well, I think we could probably keep doing better. 03:40 You know, we're not breathing as good as well like. 03:42 We now know that 7 out of 10 people don't drink enough water, 03:46 and we now know that people aren't taking in enough fiber. 03:49 So we're not doing well and we wonder why we're getting 03:52 these diseases because we don't allow the body to do 03:55 what it should do on it's own. 03:58 Hippocrates, one of my favorite doctors, he says, 04:01 "Let the body heal thyself" 04:03 So if we give things to let the body help itself out, 04:06 then we're in pretty good shape, 04:07 but unfortunately, we don't help ourselves out, 04:10 and sooner or later, we have problems. 04:12 Now this program, we just specifically want to focus 04:15 on the urogenital system, 04:17 and a lot of people don't know what that is, 04:19 so I want to talk a little bit about what that is. 04:20 Well, it starts with the kidneys, okay... 04:24 The blood moves through the kidneys, 04:26 and the kidneys are a giant filter. 04:28 It filters the bad things and keeps the good things; 04:31 gets the wastes, keeps the good. 04:33 So if the kidney's aren't working good, 04:35 you can't filter out the bad. Right 04:37 That's not good - so you want to have good kidneys working. 04:40 And, once the kidneys get the waste out, 04:43 it goes through 2 tubes called the ureter and then it passes 04:46 into a storage container which is called the bladder, 04:49 and then it usually passes out 04:51 through a tube called the "urethra" 04:52 and with that, there's lots of other parts that go with it. 04:56 On the male, we have a part called the "prostate," 05:00 that sometimes is around the urethra; 05:02 as it goes up, we have our reproductive organs in that area 05:05 So a lot of stuff is going on in this urogenital system. 05:09 And whenever we have damage within the kidneys, 05:12 the ureters, the urethra, we could have problems 05:15 eliminating wastes. 05:17 We can having problems with infections, 05:18 and, of course, if anyone has passed a kidney stone, 05:21 they can know it can be very, very painful. 05:24 Have you ever passed a stone? Never have... Okay 05:26 I've never passed a stone either, 05:27 and we're going to talk about stones, 05:29 and I hope no one out there has passed a stone, 05:31 but I have heard from some men and women that passed stones, 05:35 that passing a stone is more painful than giving birth. 05:39 Oh MY! I've never done either 05:42 one of those and I don't want to know, 05:44 I really don't want to know either one of those, 05:47 but it's very painful. 05:48 So it's important that we learn about what this system does. 05:50 We've talked about the water to help take care of this system 05:54 And now, we're going to sort of work on some questions 05:56 and answers regarding all the things that can go wrong 05:59 with this from the kidneys to the ureters, 06:01 to the bladder, to the urethra. 06:02 Now it's important for us to stop right now... 06:06 You kept saying water... 06:09 Soda pop... Nope Tea... Nope 06:11 Coffee... Nope, nope, nope Milk... Nope, nope - not as good 06:14 Orange juice - not as good Apple juice - No 06:16 PRUNE juice - Well prune juice has some benefits, 06:20 but we don't want to substitute 06:22 that instead of water. There we go so... 06:24 And if anyone is watching today that can't come away 06:27 with ONE thing today... 06:29 If you can do ONE thing for your health today, 06:31 it would be for the urogenital system - 06:33 to want to eliminate some of the bad toxins in the body, 06:36 drink more water! 06:38 Did you take a shower this morning, Charles? Absolutely! 06:40 You know, almost everyone takes a shower every morning... 06:43 On the outside of the body. Yeah, they do 06:44 And how many people take a shower 06:47 on the inside of the body? 06:48 Not too many people take a shower on the inside, 06:51 but it's just as important. 06:52 So what I tell people, in the morning when they get up, 06:55 as they brush their teeth, drink 3 or 4 glasses of water; 06:59 start to detoxify the system. 07:01 Before each meal, drink a glass of water. 07:04 Everyone wants to know how much water they need. 07:06 About 30 minutes before each meal, I understand... 07:08 I will take it ANY way! Really? Yes 07:10 They can take it during the meal, after the meal; 07:12 I will just TAKE IT. During the meal? Yes 07:13 I will just take it... 07:15 It's better than not drinking it at all... EXACTLY 07:18 I will take water anywhere that they will drink it. 07:22 So once people start doing this, they always ask... 07:25 "Well, how much should I drink?" 07:26 You know water helps you fill up ... how much should you drink? 07:29 Well if you don't have health problems, 07:30 and there is no sodium problems or other medical condition, 07:33 if you take your weight, divide it in 2, 07:37 that's about the baseline you need. 07:39 In ounces... Yes in ounces 07:40 So if you weigh 200 pounds, you need about 100 ounces, 07:43 that's just the BASELINE. All right 07:45 Now a lot of people say, another thing you can do is 07:47 just drink enough water until your urine comes out clear, 07:51 and I will tell you, you can have a lot of health 07:53 issues that water almost takes care of all of them. Really 07:57 It thins the blood; 07:59 it helps the kidneys eliminate waste; 08:01 it helps the bowels with toxins; 08:04 it lubricates all the joints; 08:06 it helps you think better; 08:07 it helps lower the blood pressure; 08:09 it goes on and on about all the good things that water does, 08:13 and yet, 7 out of 10 people are not drinking 08:16 enough water every day. 08:17 It thins the blood - are we talking what Coumadin can do? 08:21 Well, not that same pathway. 08:24 It's more viscosity. I see 08:26 If you have a blood that's full of fat and sludge, 08:28 and if you put more fat and sludge in it, 08:31 it's not going to be thin, but if you put water in it, 08:33 it dilutes what's there. True - got it, got it! 08:35 So it's sort of a dilution factor... 08:37 So actually, in some studies, it lowers the risk of 08:40 heart attack much more effective than even aspirin will. Wow... 08:43 So water, you know, the universal solvent, 08:46 is sort of the universal treatment. 08:48 Now that we're on water, not only does it help the 08:51 urogenital system, but have you heard of hydrotherapy? Yes 08:54 Yeah, we use water - you know, hot and warm compresses 08:58 that increases or decreases the blood. 09:00 So the body, again, can help HEAL itself. 09:02 So the urogenital system needs lots of water, 09:05 and if you don't do one thing today... 09:07 I want you to, right NOW, no NOT right now, 09:09 during our break, go get a BIG glass of water. 09:12 Now everyone asks - Well what type of water should I have? 09:15 You know, there are so many waters out there. 09:17 There is distilled water, well water... 09:20 There is lots of water out there, and of course, 09:22 you already mentioned when to drink water. 09:24 and I guess type A people would want to drink it 09:27 at the right times, but for most people, 09:29 since 7 out of 10 don't drink water, 09:31 if you'll just drink it, that's the first step, you know. 09:34 Some people are worried about the plastic bottles 09:37 that leach phthalates out of it... 09:38 Well that does happen, but mainly in people that 09:41 leave the bottles in warm situations. 09:45 So I would just drink water, 09:46 that going to be the big thing. 09:48 Personally, we have a filter on our water; 09:50 we have filtered water. 09:52 Some people argue that takes minerals out of your water, 09:55 but the bottom line is... 09:56 I just want everyone to drink water instead of soda pops, 09:59 teas and all this other stuff 10:01 that will help the urogenital system, 10:03 and also will help numerous other organ systems in the body. 10:06 The idea of drinking water as a medicine, 10:10 it is just so simple and is so not costly that people 10:16 believe that that can't possibly do me any good. 10:18 WATER - to thin my blood? 10:20 WATER - to help move things through? 10:22 WATER - to clean out my body? 10:24 WATER - To bring an end to some of these diseases? 10:27 SOMETIMES the truth is so simple and so powerful 10:32 that NO ONE believes it! That's right! 10:35 It's so easy, but you know, it only makes sense if you 10:38 have bad stuff in your body that's literally poisoning you, 10:41 you want to move that stuff OUT of your body 10:43 so it doesn't continue to poison you. 10:45 Now, we talked about kidney stones, 10:47 and that's a very obvious problem that we can have 10:50 when we don't have enough water... 10:51 What are some of the other indications 10:53 other than the color of the urine that we can 10:56 feel or sense that is saying... 10:58 "We don't have enough water" 10:59 I can give you one that happened to me this morning. 11:01 You know, you can get dizzy especially 11:04 when you change positions. 11:06 Your mouth might be dry. 11:08 You might not be able to form tears very well. 11:12 There is a test called "skin turgor" 11:15 where you hold up the skin and when you release it, 11:17 it goes down. 11:19 If you're dehydrated, it just sort of stays up there. 11:21 Right, because there's not good hydration in the skin. 11:25 So that is something that we can all do today is 11:28 we can all drink enough WATER to help not only our 11:31 urogenital system but our entire bodies, 11:33 helps move that waste out of us, 11:36 and if you think about it, you know, 11:37 a lot of people spend a lot of money on 11:39 detoxifying agents... You've heard about them. 11:41 The special cleansing formula and it do that and this, 11:44 and stuff you put up your bottom and pull stuff out, 11:46 and stuff you eat and it pulls stuff out... 11:48 Well you know what? 11:51 This is not too funny, but I was into this for a while. 11:54 You know, I drank water and I really felt good, 11:57 but someone said, "Why don't you try some chlorophyll, okay, 12:00 to pull out things in your body. Chlorophyll? 12:02 Yeah, that stuff got me really messed up. 12:05 So all that stuff you cannot believe, 12:07 but the simplest things that God has given us 12:09 sometimes works the best as far as detoxifying our bodies. 12:13 This morning when we were doing a program, 12:15 I was beginning to feel a little dizzy, 12:16 and my thoughts were not as clear as I wanted them to be 12:19 as we were talking here and I thought, 12:21 "Well what is wrong with me?" 12:22 And during the break, I went out and took a 12:24 couple of glasses of water, just straight water, 12:27 out there in the lobby and the problems went away! 12:29 I felt great, energy came back. 12:32 Thoughts became clear, so dehydration can 12:35 affect our ability to think clearly, 12:37 and can bring about all kinds of bad problems. 12:39 So I think that that water message should be 12:42 preached from the hilltops that we need to 12:44 have a good supply of water to keep ourselves healthy. 12:47 And, wasn't it wonderful of God to provide this simple 12:49 inexpensive solution to so many problems that we have 12:53 in our health - WATER! 12:55 Good old water. 12:56 When we come back, we'll answer some questions from 12:58 heartwiseministries. org 12:59 so don't go away! |
