Remember the old commercial
for the hamburger chain?
00:00:17.37\00:00:20.88
A lady looks up from her bun
and shouts, "WHERE'S THE BEEF?"
00:00:20.91\00:00:24.35
What she should have
said was, "Where's the truth?"
00:00:24.38\00:00:28.35
Stay tuned...
00:00:28.38\00:00:29.63
I'm Dr. James Marcum
00:00:29.97\00:00:32.22
Are you interested in
discovering the reason why?
00:00:32.25\00:00:35.65
Do you want solutions to
your healthcare problems?
00:00:35.68\00:00:38.45
Are you tired of
taking medications?
00:00:38.48\00:00:41.40
Well, you're about to be given
the "Ultimate Prescription"
00:00:41.43\00:00:45.38
Everyone wants to make
you healthy these days.
00:00:49.29\00:00:52.22
Everyone has a plan,
a product or a procedure
00:00:52.25\00:00:55.22
guaranteed to -
choose one, make you thinner,
00:00:55.25\00:00:58.27
smarter, hairier, faster,
more restful, more attractive,
00:00:58.30\00:01:01.93
longer lived, able to
sleep, able to stay awake,
00:01:01.96\00:01:04.91
able to think and
even able to fight cancer.
00:01:04.94\00:01:07.77
What works? What doesn't?
00:01:07.80\00:01:10.43
Where oh where is the truth?
00:01:10.46\00:01:12.52
Dr. Marcum, tell us what we
need to do and TELL US the TRUTH
00:01:12.55\00:01:16.63
Well you mentioned hair, could
you fill me in on that one?
00:01:16.66\00:01:19.65
I use it all the
time! Does it actually work?
00:01:19.68\00:01:22.02
Ah, you look for yourself!
00:01:22.05\00:01:23.92
WOW, you're going to
have to share that with me.
00:01:23.95\00:01:25.81
It's called "genetics. "
Oh genetics... oh Charles
00:01:25.84\00:01:29.39
You know, one of the reasons I
enjoy doing a television program
00:01:29.42\00:01:34.30
is because it forces me to
learn and it forces me to answer
00:01:34.33\00:01:38.35
questions as I
serve other people
00:01:38.38\00:01:40.46
And so many people have
written in to our website - the
00:01:40.49\00:01:43.26
heartwiseministries.
org with their questions
00:01:43.29\00:01:45.84
and I write blogs and I
try to find the truth too
00:01:45.87\00:01:48.64
because I think there
needs to be a voice OUT THERE
00:01:48.67\00:01:51.95
that proclaims truth
the best that we can...
00:01:51.98\00:01:55.24
And what we do a
little bit differently is
00:01:55.27\00:01:58.06
we let people know the
place for modern medicine,
00:01:58.09\00:02:00.89
we talk a lot about lifestyle,
00:02:00.92\00:02:03.05
but we also talk
about relationships,
00:02:03.08\00:02:05.40
brains in our
relationship with God
00:02:05.43\00:02:07.06
and how He brings
everything together.
00:02:07.09\00:02:08.99
Because it's discouraging,
you know, when people are
00:02:09.02\00:02:11.87
sick and feel bad,
but we do know that
00:02:11.90\00:02:14.64
as long as they are
in this relationship
00:02:14.67\00:02:16.31
they're going to be
healed in God's time.
00:02:16.34\00:02:18.45
So that's very
exciting, but "Where's the beef"
00:02:18.48\00:02:21.75
that was a good one, Charles!
00:02:21.78\00:02:23.68
Where's the truth? And
that's what we always are,
00:02:23.71\00:02:26.23
seekers of truth.
00:02:26.26\00:02:28.27
A few years ago, that
commercial was very POPULAR,
00:02:28.30\00:02:33.01
and I think the people
want to know where the truth is.
00:02:33.04\00:02:36.41
They want to
know truth deep down,
00:02:36.44\00:02:38.02
and I think our
genetics is built to know truth.
00:02:38.05\00:02:40.89
In other words,
this chain was saying,
00:02:40.92\00:02:42.78
"We have the most wonderful
beef and she was opening up
00:02:42.81\00:02:45.81
and says, "It's not here"
00:02:45.84\00:02:47.50
And that happens
to us so many times.
00:02:47.53\00:02:49.16
We hear a claim, we hear
someone talking about something,
00:02:49.19\00:02:52.65
and when we open it up
and we actually look at it
00:02:52.68\00:02:54.95
and examine it, it's not there.
00:02:54.98\00:02:57.39
And this is an
exciting time in earth's history
00:02:57.42\00:03:00.41
because everyone is
looking for the truth.
00:03:00.44\00:03:02.84
You know, they know that
health care is not going well;
00:03:02.87\00:03:05.55
they know that the
government is not doing so well;
00:03:05.58\00:03:08.76
the world itself
is not doing so well,
00:03:08.79\00:03:10.42
so people are looking for truth;
they're looking for answers,
00:03:10.45\00:03:12.86
something to guide them by,
something to look to for hope!
00:03:12.89\00:03:16.92
On September 18,
2013, Google announced the
00:03:16.95\00:03:22.15
launch of a new entity.
00:03:22.18\00:03:24.01
Now Google is a
pretty big company, Charles.
00:03:24.04\00:03:26.22
They call this "Calico"
00:03:26.25\00:03:28.14
This is a whole new
company designed to improve
00:03:28.17\00:03:31.49
the health of the world.
00:03:31.52\00:03:33.00
So Google, knowing
something is not going...
00:03:33.03\00:03:35.38
we need some improvement.
00:03:35.41\00:03:36.91
So Google announced this and
with the rates of heart attacks,
00:03:36.94\00:03:40.90
strokes, cancers,
chronic pain, diabetes going up,
00:03:40.93\00:03:44.90
I think it was very reasonable
for them to spend all this money
00:03:44.93\00:03:48.57
into developing
this new company.
00:03:48.60\00:03:50.55
Now what is this
company going to do?
00:03:50.58\00:03:52.76
Well, with billions and billions
of prescriptions and medications
00:03:52.79\00:03:56.55
being written every year
that don't fix the problem,
00:03:56.58\00:03:59.69
they're hoping
to give some answers
00:03:59.72\00:04:01.61
to this healthcare dilemma.
00:04:01.64\00:04:02.92
They know that
we're not doing this.
00:04:02.95\00:04:04.53
Needless to say, right
now I think our world is
00:04:04.56\00:04:08.61
sicker than
ever, would you agree?
00:04:08.64\00:04:09.98
I would too and the thing
that just stuck in my mind
00:04:10.01\00:04:12.91
when you were saying that
- is Google trying to make
00:04:12.94\00:04:15.26
healthcare as it
is - more available
00:04:15.29\00:04:17.55
like the government
is doing right now? No
00:04:17.58\00:04:18.84
They're going to come up
with a company called "Calico"
00:04:18.87\00:04:22.16
that gives us the answers;
00:04:22.19\00:04:23.40
that tells us how
we can prevent aging;
00:04:23.43\00:04:25.52
that can tell us this,
that can tell other people
00:04:25.55\00:04:27.88
how to do it better -
that's what they're hoping. Wow
00:04:27.91\00:04:31.11
No one even asked us about that.
00:04:31.14\00:04:33.17
I was going to say...
They didn't consult us.
00:04:33.20\00:04:35.49
But anyway, people have been
trying to do this for a while,
00:04:35.52\00:04:38.14
and I don't know if you remember
Kevin Trudeau, remember?
00:04:38.17\00:04:40.82
Kevin Trudeau is one of these
guys that get up late at night,
00:04:40.85\00:04:43.96
and he has made millions
and millions from promoting
00:04:43.99\00:04:47.22
various remedies, you
know, this is the best thing.
00:04:47.25\00:04:50.29
Infomercial-type things...
Yeah, infomercial-type things.
00:04:50.32\00:04:52.39
Well he now has a
court order to pay all these
00:04:52.42\00:04:56.36
multimillion dollars BACK
for fraudulent work. WOW-wow!
00:04:56.39\00:05:00.84
But it begs a question...
Why would people spend
00:05:00.87\00:05:04.31
millions and millions of
dollars on unproven remedies.
00:05:04.34\00:05:09.27
Why would they buy
all these supplements?
00:05:09.30\00:05:10.98
Why would they try this or that?
00:05:11.01\00:05:12.67
Well, people are
searching for something more.
00:05:12.70\00:05:15.31
They're searching for truth.
00:05:15.34\00:05:17.11
They want to feel better.
00:05:17.14\00:05:18.79
They realize they're
not being told the truth,
00:05:18.82\00:05:21.06
and they will go
anywhere to find a cure.
00:05:21.09\00:05:24.33
Now hopefully, this entity
of Calico will find answers.
00:05:24.36\00:05:28.56
But I've been looking
for the answers myself,
00:05:28.59\00:05:31.68
and really, the source
of truth for the answers
00:05:31.71\00:05:34.47
to what they want to
find is in the Bible.
00:05:34.50\00:05:37.04
If they would have asked
me, I would have told Calico
00:05:37.07\00:05:39.66
the place to look for the
answers to the health care
00:05:39.69\00:05:41.85
problems is in the Bible,
the Great Physician, the Creator
00:05:41.88\00:05:46.11
He has made wonderful
suggestions to change our
00:05:46.14\00:05:48.99
chemistry, to help
the healing process,
00:05:49.02\00:05:51.62
and what I've done through the
years is - I go back and find
00:05:51.65\00:05:54.47
biblical texts and then
prove the chemistry behind it.
00:05:54.50\00:05:57.41
Then I try to incorporate
it into people's lives.
00:05:57.44\00:06:00.69
Now that's just the
absolute opposite of what most
00:06:00.72\00:06:03.79
scientists do, they say -
"Here's the scientific proof,
00:06:03.82\00:06:06.18
let's go see if the
Bible talks about that"
00:06:06.21\00:06:08.15
But you're
starting with the Bible,
00:06:08.18\00:06:09.84
"Here's what the
Bible says is truth,
00:06:09.87\00:06:11.48
let's see if
science talks about that"
00:06:11.51\00:06:13.04
And you know what,
that's why I like to try
00:06:13.07\00:06:14.66
to make you
laugh on this program,
00:06:14.69\00:06:16.40
because I know
when I make you laugh,
00:06:16.43\00:06:18.28
"A merry heart does
good like a medicine"
00:06:18.31\00:06:19.92
it makes your endorphins go
up and your stress goes down
00:06:19.95\00:06:22.85
and you're happier.
00:06:22.88\00:06:24.08
That's why, last night, I
said, "Well go to bed Charles,
00:06:24.11\00:06:27.13
get plenty of rest"
There's healing power in rest.
00:06:27.16\00:06:30.22
Two hundred years
ago or 300 years ago,
00:06:30.25\00:06:33.89
you remember George
Washington, don't you, Charles
00:06:33.92\00:06:36.45
Not personally, but I've
heard about him in the books.
00:06:36.48\00:06:38.42
Well they put leaches on
him to help his infection,
00:06:38.45\00:06:42.81
and in the process, the leaches
00:06:42.84\00:06:44.92
took out half of
his blood volume.
00:06:44.95\00:06:47.49
So he didn't have any
white blood cells left
00:06:47.52\00:06:49.08
to fight an infection because
they took all of his blood out.
00:06:49.11\00:06:51.77
If you were a doctor hanging
around with those fellows,
00:06:51.80\00:06:54.87
and you didn't
do the leach thing,
00:06:54.90\00:06:56.99
they called you a bad doctor,
you know, you were a bad doctor.
00:06:57.02\00:07:00.24
In the mid 30s, if you
didn't prescribe cigarettes
00:07:00.27\00:07:05.14
for people that smoked - asthma,
you were considered a bad doctor
00:07:05.17\00:07:08.85
For people that had asthma,
they'd say - smoke a cigarette,
00:07:08.88\00:07:11.08
it will help your asthma.
00:07:11.11\00:07:12.14
Yeah, and if you didn't do that,
00:07:12.17\00:07:13.53
if you didn't
join the bandwagon,
00:07:13.56\00:07:14.92
you were considered a
bad doctor, a bad healer.
00:07:14.95\00:07:18.03
Now I'm wondering
about when people look back
00:07:18.06\00:07:21.08
at this time in history today,
if you look back at the leaches
00:07:21.11\00:07:24.69
and this, what are
they going to say about us,
00:07:24.72\00:07:26.48
and the way
we're treating things?
00:07:26.51\00:07:28.61
Are they going to
say we're bad doctors?
00:07:28.64\00:07:30.57
What do you think, Charles?
00:07:30.60\00:07:32.14
Well when you look at
today's world, the answer is,
00:07:32.17\00:07:36.15
if you don't prescribe a
drug, a powerful, powerful drug
00:07:36.18\00:07:39.66
for this disease,
you're a bad doctor.
00:07:39.69\00:07:41.54
And you're saying that that
may someday fall out of favor?
00:07:41.57\00:07:45.81
Well, I think as
history shows itself...
00:07:45.84\00:07:48.40
Look what history -
history tends to repeat itself.
00:07:48.43\00:07:51.16
They didn't think these George
Washington doctors were so good
00:07:51.19\00:07:54.13
or the people that were
given medicines for asthma.
00:07:54.16\00:07:55.75
Now, I think that they
probably did the best that they
00:07:55.78\00:07:57.41
could at the time.
00:07:57.45\00:07:58.49
But as the governments
from all over the world,
00:07:58.52\00:08:01.26
as the governments searches
for answers to healthcare
00:08:01.29\00:08:04.11
delivery and as we
see in our own country,
00:08:04.14\00:08:06.73
this Affordable
Care Act going into place
00:08:06.76\00:08:08.80
and people getting
confused, as Kevin Trudeau now
00:08:08.83\00:08:11.94
with all his snake
oil sits in detainment,
00:08:11.97\00:08:15.46
Google is putting
resources into the problem.
00:08:15.49\00:08:18.30
Google is not alone.
00:08:18.33\00:08:21.01
The ministry that I work
with Heartwise Ministries,
00:08:21.04\00:08:23.71
we're doing the same thing.
00:08:23.74\00:08:24.84
We want to improve
the health of the world.
00:08:24.87\00:08:26.59
We want to teach
people how to live better,
00:08:26.62\00:08:29.10
and the solution is right in
front of us, right in the Bible.
00:08:29.13\00:08:32.35
And that's why we do
these medical programs,
00:08:32.38\00:08:34.57
the radio program
that you help with,
00:08:34.60\00:08:36.51
the television
programs, the blogs...
00:08:36.54\00:08:38.60
Because we want to give
someone something else to
00:08:38.63\00:08:40.78
think about and look at
the evidence themselves.
00:08:40.81\00:08:43.70
Don't accept it
blindly, look at the evidence
00:08:43.73\00:08:46.14
see if it works in
your life and if it works,
00:08:46.17\00:08:49.35
share it with someone else.
00:08:49.38\00:08:51.48
This is true evangelism,
the way we can spread
00:08:51.51\00:08:54.57
health message and
truth to other people...
00:08:54.60\00:08:56.95
And when they say -
"You're life is doing good,
00:08:56.98\00:08:59.29
you're feeling good,
you're looking good, Charles,
00:08:59.32\00:09:01.73
you're feeling good, Charles,"
00:09:01.76\00:09:03.08
they want to
know more about you...
00:09:03.11\00:09:04.74
And then they start looking
for truth and say, "Charles,
00:09:04.77\00:09:06.88
where did you find truth?"
00:09:06.91\00:09:08.36
And then they eventually,
hopefully, will find that
00:09:08.39\00:09:11.75
relationship with the
Master, the Ultimate Creator,
00:09:11.78\00:09:15.39
and that's what we all want.
00:09:15.42\00:09:17.14
And, you asked the
question "Where's the beef?"
00:09:17.17\00:09:20.05
"Where's the truth?"
THAT'S where the truth is!
00:09:20.08\00:09:23.24
And we can't be ashamed to tell
people where the truth really is
00:09:23.27\00:09:27.52
What are we - when we mask
the truth or hide the truth?
00:09:27.55\00:09:30.82
Think about it... What if I
have a great health program,
00:09:30.85\00:09:33.71
and say all the nice things
about vegetables and fruits
00:09:33.74\00:09:36.84
and exercise and thinking good,
00:09:36.87\00:09:38.28
but don't tell
them the real truth.
00:09:38.31\00:09:40.40
...98% truth is STILL a lie.
00:09:40.43\00:09:45.40
That's the
difference, that extra 2%
00:09:45.43\00:09:48.97
There are entities out
there who talk about food,
00:09:49.00\00:09:52.46
and about studies and about
nutrition and about exercise...
00:09:52.49\00:09:56.11
And so that's a good
98%, it's a good start. Yeah
00:09:56.14\00:09:59.50
Then they talk about good mental
health too, that's good too.
00:09:59.53\00:10:02.68
But what is missing?
And you've hinted at it now.
00:10:02.71\00:10:07.33
What is missing in this search
for truth that so many people
00:10:07.36\00:10:11.02
don't have in their
process of looking for truth?
00:10:11.05\00:10:14.84
They've come to a point and
they just sort of stop there.
00:10:14.87\00:10:17.50
Heartwise Ministries
wants to take them a little bit
00:10:17.53\00:10:19.71
beyond that point.
00:10:19.74\00:10:20.77
WHAT is that you're
doing for them? What is that?
00:10:20.80\00:10:23.20
Educate them and you
know, so we want to teach them
00:10:23.23\00:10:25.16
about that
relation and in the process,
00:10:25.19\00:10:27.11
we want to serve
everybody and that's why we
00:10:27.14\00:10:28.99
answer all these
questions that come in,
00:10:29.02\00:10:31.04
so we can serve, we can love
each other and we can sort of
00:10:31.07\00:10:34.53
point them in that direction.
00:10:34.56\00:10:35.72
So the RELATIONSHIP is
that 2% that's missing.
00:10:35.75\00:10:38.11
Well it's probably more than 2%.
00:10:38.14\00:10:40.80
It's probably 99%,
but if you have that
00:10:40.83\00:10:43.45
relationship, you have it all.
00:10:43.48\00:10:44.98
If you eat right,
if you think right,
00:10:45.01\00:10:47.88
if you do right,
you're only 98% there.
00:10:47.91\00:10:52.29
Until you have made that
one little jump. No, no, no, no
00:10:52.32\00:10:55.78
I'd say, if you don't have that,
you are zero percent there.
00:10:55.81\00:10:59.16
Okay, all right.
What does it matter if you
00:10:59.19\00:11:01.02
do everything in
the letter of the law,
00:11:01.05\00:11:03.29
and at the end of your days,
that's it for Charles Mills.
00:11:03.32\00:11:06.26
Your life was
lived for yourself,
00:11:06.29\00:11:09.51
you did everything you could,
00:11:09.54\00:11:10.75
you did everything perfect,
00:11:10.79\00:11:11.91
and then it's over...
I'm a perfect dead person.
00:11:11.94\00:11:13.95
You're a perfect dead
person, but when you have
00:11:13.99\00:11:15.97
that relationship
that transcends everything.
00:11:16.00\00:11:20.09
When you live for a purpose,
you're not living for yourself,
00:11:20.12\00:11:23.48
you're living for someone else,
you have a purpose in living.
00:11:23.51\00:11:26.54
When you have
that purpose in living,
00:11:26.57\00:11:28.26
it helps you do these
things for the right reasons.
00:11:28.29\00:11:30.83
You can do
everything for the wrong reason,
00:11:30.86\00:11:32.77
and still be healthy, but
it's not the kind of health
00:11:32.80\00:11:36.98
we want to have
people have forever.
00:11:37.01\00:11:39.29
You know, and you look
at the Bible examples...
00:11:39.32\00:11:41.22
A lot of fellows
didn't live a long time,
00:11:41.25\00:11:43.42
they gave their
life for a cause.
00:11:43.45\00:11:45.64
They believed in
what they were doing
00:11:45.67\00:11:47.32
because God sees things
much different than we do.
00:11:47.35\00:11:50.05
So I have a lot of people
that live by the law perfectly.
00:11:50.08\00:11:53.36
They are perfectly healthy,
00:11:53.39\00:11:54.82
but are they
really healthy throughout?
00:11:54.85\00:11:57.31
And that's the definition of
what's the definition of health.
00:11:57.34\00:12:00.07
Mine is having that
safe relationship with God.
00:12:00.10\00:12:03.98
That's my definition
of having good health.
00:12:04.01\00:12:06.67
As long as I have that, I
might not have anything else,
00:12:06.70\00:12:09.44
but at least if I have
that, that's a great place
00:12:09.47\00:12:11.98
to build truth on.
00:12:12.01\00:12:13.73
Let's talk about
that relationship...
00:12:13.76\00:12:16.23
You know, there are
many ways of bringing
00:12:16.26\00:12:18.89
healing to the body,
there are many methods
00:12:18.92\00:12:20.71
of doing that - modern
medicine may be one of the ways,
00:12:20.74\00:12:23.14
the natural ways
may be another way.
00:12:23.17\00:12:25.35
Are there many
ways coming to God?
00:12:25.38\00:12:28.45
Is there just - here are
the steps you need to take
00:12:28.48\00:12:31.15
A, B, C, D, or
can we be creative,
00:12:31.18\00:12:34.02
and is God flexible
enough to accept our
00:12:34.05\00:12:36.49
searching as we look for Him?
00:12:36.52\00:12:38.13
Well I think if you
look at the Scriptures,
00:12:38.16\00:12:40.59
people came to God
from many different ways.
00:12:40.62\00:12:42.47
Adam and Eve, in the garden
outside, taking care of things.
00:12:42.50\00:12:46.25
Later on, they came
in many different ways;
00:12:46.28\00:12:48.84
people out in nature
looking at His creations.
00:12:48.87\00:12:51.59
Some people come through church,
00:12:51.62\00:12:53.10
some people come
through the spoken Word.
00:12:53.13\00:12:55.08
Sometimes God intervenes
in life through other people
00:12:55.11\00:12:58.14
and circumstances.
00:12:58.17\00:12:59.42
Sometimes God, as you let
Him take control of your mind,
00:12:59.45\00:13:02.72
He puts thoughts in your mind,
00:13:02.75\00:13:04.40
and leads you each step of the
way - where you need to go next.
00:13:04.43\00:13:07.88
So I think it's
different for different people.
00:13:07.91\00:13:10.43
You make an
interesting point there,
00:13:10.46\00:13:12.24
and I want to talk
about it after the break that
00:13:12.27\00:13:14.75
when we search the Scriptures,
00:13:14.78\00:13:16.51
which is a good thing for
us to do, it has limitations.
00:13:16.54\00:13:20.39
Believe it or not, the
Scriptures do have limitations.
00:13:20.42\00:13:22.78
I wrote an article
called, "Love Beyond the Letter"
00:13:22.81\00:13:24.85
It's talking about
how we need to search for
00:13:24.88\00:13:27.27
God beyond the Bible.
00:13:27.30\00:13:28.75
The Bible gets us going.
00:13:28.78\00:13:30.18
The Bible gives us a foundation.
00:13:30.21\00:13:31.99
The Bible is there
to introduce us to God.
00:13:32.02\00:13:35.03
Just like the love
letters my wife and I wrote
00:13:35.06\00:13:37.02
back and forth
before we were married,
00:13:37.05\00:13:38.57
introduced us to each
other, but should I use those
00:13:38.60\00:13:41.26
love letters then as the
foundation and as a continuing
00:13:41.29\00:13:44.50
source of information
for my relationship my wife,
00:13:44.53\00:13:49.06
or should I move beyond
that and say, "Look, here we are
00:13:49.09\00:13:52.24
in life, here's what
we've learned together"
00:13:52.27\00:13:54.28
And I'd like to believe
that there is a way for us
00:13:54.31\00:13:57.35
to get to know
God, to find truth,
00:13:57.38\00:13:59.49
even beyond the Bible.
00:13:59.52\00:14:00.88
It gets us going,
but there is more to it,
00:14:00.91\00:14:03.05
and we'll talk
about that on our return,
00:14:03.08\00:14:04.52
so stay right where you are.
00:14:04.55\00:14:06.57
