00:43 Hello, and welcome to "Health for a Lifetime"
00:45 I'm your host Don Mackintosh, 00:47 and today I'm delighted to be joined with Dr. Richard Nelson 00:51 who really is passionate about, not only medicine, 00:54 but especially we're going to talk today a little about 00:57 international medicine... what you call "Health Expo" 01:02 and it doesn't have to just be in North America, 01:05 it can be around the world. 01:07 Exactly what is "Health Expo?" 01:08 Well health expo is a blended program where people are 01:12 our program, and we're out there to help prevent 01:17 so many of these lifestyle related diseases, 01:19 and bring health and happiness to the whole family. 01:22 Now you're a medical doctor, and you are the vice president 01:25 at Weimar Institute in Weimar, California, 01:30 and I understand that Weimar recently has won an award 01:33 for it's NEWSTART Programs. 01:34 Tell us a little bit about that. 01:36 Well, Weimar has been offering the NEWSTART Lifestyle Program 01:40 as it now stands, for about 23 years... 01:43 And we've been recognized by private, and other agencies 01:48 for our good work, especially in long-term results. 01:52 The "Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine" 01:54 ranked us top 2 in the nation for long-term obesity treatment. 01:59 But more recently, we've had 2 universities... 02:02 their cardiology departments kindly looking over our program, 02:07 giving us suggestions, and seeing how they might 02:10 incorporate some of OUR techniques in their own practice 02:13 Well that's gratifying and it's also 02:15 a great opportunity that's probably 02:17 a little stress-producing too, isn't it? 02:18 Well actually, it's a lot of fun to have somebody 02:22 who spends their whole life in the hospital come up, 02:24 and see how rapidly people can come off of medications 02:29 they've been on for 5 or 10 years safely 02:32 and under monitoring of a physician. 02:36 You know, another interesting thing that I've heard is that 02:39 recently the insurance providers or Medicare, or whatnot 02:44 is starting to pay for lifestyle-type programs 02:46 like the NEWSTART Program... Is that correct? 02:48 Well, in 1998 they were looking at doing a retrospective study 02:52 from the Healthcare Finance Administration 02:55 and 4 areas were listed in the government packet, 02:59 and we were honored to be listed as in that document. 03:05 At that time, they decided to go with a prospective 03:08 study instead, and they have announced 03:11 on the Internet Web page of HCFA, 03:14 that they're going to be choosing 2 multicenter sites. 03:17 The first one selected was the Dr. Dean Ornish Program 03:21 for reversing heart disease... because he's the one who 03:24 published, in the Journal of the American Medical Association 03:27 December of 1998... 03:29 that through the Lifestyle Heart Trial, 03:32 coronary artery disease, it appears, can be reversed 03:37 in a SIGNIFICANT percentage of cases, 03:41 and now a large scale perspective multicenter study 03:45 is underway; it's a demonstration project. 03:48 Weimar Institute's NEWSTART Lifestyle Program, 03:51 we feel would be an ideal second site selection, 03:53 but that's not our only goal. 03:57 We're working with university departments to 04:03 enter into long-term studies to carefully look at 04:06 the components of the NEWSTART Program 04:08 as applicable to the public. 04:10 Now some people may be watching today, 04:12 and we want to talk about Health Expo which is 04:14 a little bit different than NEWSTART, 04:15 but some people may be watching today, 04:18 and I want to just, kind of, rapidly go through 04:20 NEWSTART just to recap that. 04:21 I can give it to you in 2 things... 04:22 Whole plant foods eaten whole, and walk, walk, walk! 04:26 If you forget everything else, remember those 2 things, 04:28 and that our Creator wishes for us to have good health, 04:33 and He loves us whether we follow His principles or not. 04:36 We have a Web page that you've given us to let people know 04:40 about and that's: www. newstart. ws 04:45 And if you go to that Web page, newstart. ws 04:51 you'll be able to get more of the particulars 04:53 about the program, I'm sure about when the schedules are, 04:55 and whatnot, but let's switch gears... 04:57 You know, I've talked now to you, just during this program, 05:01 and another taping where we were talking about another subject 05:04 but I've noticed that you're really passionate about 05:07 one thing especially, and that's this Health Expo idea 05:11 What is Health Expo, and how exactly does it work? 05:14 Just try to imagine if you're a physician, 05:16 and you're able to see 5, 10, 15 patients in a day... 05:21 But what if you were able to 05:22 influence a THOUSAND people in a day? 05:25 And that's what's exciting about Health Expo... 05:27 because Health Expo takes the 05:29 principles of preventive and therapeutic medicine 05:33 in a public display with high resolution graphics 05:37 ...8 exhibits on each on each of the principles of health 05:40 followed by a platform presentation, 05:42 a NEWSTART for Kids Program 05:44 and a whole package that a community can receive 05:48 and literally thousands of people can benefit. 05:53 We've gone from our largest program which was 05:56 over 20,000 people in attendance 05:58 to smaller programs where a few hundred will attend... 06:00 but the results are the same. 06:02 So, you've done this in other countries... 06:05 What other countries have you done this in? Well 30... 06:07 I'll just mention a few... 06:09 Of course, the United States and Canada, Mexico, Norway, 06:14 India, Hungary; a modified program in China, 06:19 and in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, 06:28 Ghana, the Pacific Ocean Islands ... that's just to name a few! 06:35 And so, in these particular governments 06:38 some of these governments are not typically open 06:40 to people from the American culture, or Western nations, 06:44 how have the governments in 06:45 these different countries responded? 06:47 Well first, when they get to know the program, 06:50 and they see that we're there to benefit the whole community, 06:53 and also they know that with all the technology that 06:57 North America has, and Europe has, 06:59 in many of these lifestyle diseases, 07:02 they're not making a tremendous dent on long-term 07:06 mortality statistics. 07:08 And what they want to see is ... how can we prevent 07:11 these lifestyle diseases in our country? 07:13 They don't have the resources 07:14 to have the best heart centers over there. 07:17 And, as a heart surgeon will tell you, 07:19 I can only help a few people every day. 07:22 Think about the thousands out there that can't get help. 07:25 And I used to have the privilege to work with an 07:28 open-heart surgery team, in a nonphysician role, 07:31 and I saw even the very best team in the world could only 07:35 help 5 or 10 people in a day. 07:38 Whereas with Health Expo format, 07:41 we can bring those surgeons and other doctors 07:44 to give a guest lecture, and what an impact! 07:47 We've had tremendous support from the medical community 07:50 and coming and joining us when they're not in the 07:52 operating suite or in the clinics to come and help 07:56 us share freely with the public on how 08:01 you can change your lifestyle. 08:02 Tell us about China... what happened in China. 08:04 You mentioned you did it there; 08:05 did you do it on the Great Wall of China? Where did you do it? 08:07 We in China, we use the Health Expo panels 08:10 as a backdrop for a series of infomercials 08:14 featuring Dr. Mark Finley... 08:16 and this was shown throughout China in 20 provinces... 08:20 Very well received by the government and by the public 08:22 since China is the world's largest producer and 08:25 consumer of tobacco, they need to attack the problem of tobacco 08:30 So we use the NEWSTART exhibits as a backdrop and focused in 08:35 on the areas of prevention of lung disease and heart disease. 08:39 Okay, so in China, it was really focusing on antismoking. 08:44 Most of the studies I hear coming out of about 08:47 large population studies and disease... 08:50 they rank China as very healthy 08:52 except for maybe in the cities. 08:54 They're estimating that in the next 25 years, 08:56 50 million of the young smokers in China will 08:59 die of cigarette-related disease. 09:01 So it's a SIGNIFICANT health problem. 09:03 Are they upset at all at the Western nations 09:06 who started them on this habit? 09:07 Wherever I go, people really tend to like and receive 09:14 some of our fast-food ideas, 09:18 and a lot of our lifestyle factors which are debilitating; 09:22 but we're there to give them a different picture... 09:24 a different perspective of lifestyle medicine. 09:27 Some of the most exciting areas have been in some of the 09:30 new Central Asian Republics 09:33 whose leaders really don't want to follow the American model. 09:37 And are looking right from ground zero on how they 09:41 can educate the public and we've received 09:45 tremendous support from these governments. 09:48 Health Expo... we go at invitation of the government 09:52 health authorities. 09:53 Usually our invitation will come from a minister of health 09:56 and when our program opens, we will have either the 10:00 minister of health or his designate open our program. 10:03 We invite doctors from the community 10:05 to come and participate. 10:06 This program is open to people of all faiths... 10:09 Yes, it's a Christian program and the physicians 10:13 and health educators who are involved, 10:14 are Seventh-day Adventists but we work side-by-side 10:17 with our colleagues. 10:18 So it doesn't matter if you are in an Islamic country, 10:21 or a Buddhist country, or whatever it is, 10:24 they seem to respond quite well to it. 10:27 Well this message is not only for people of other faiths, 10:31 it's also for people in my own church, 10:33 and what I found so interesting... 10:36 we brought the vice-governor of an important state 10:39 in Central Asia to Weimar to go through the NEWSTART Program 10:43 and when she went back, she said, 10:44 "You know, I'm going to be visiting the Adventist priest 10:47 frequently to find out if he's putting these practices 10:50 to use in his own life, and for his own members. 10:53 So, she's going to call on the 10:54 Adventist priest when she gets back... She already has! 10:58 You know, I have a question for you... 11:01 because it sounds as though you've traveled to 11:03 many of these places, or at least aware of those places 11:05 where the Health Expo has been... 11:08 and, you know, a lot of people will say.. it's a cultural thing 11:11 If I'm an Indian, I eat this way... 11:14 If I'm an American, I eat this way... 11:16 and you can't change culture, you can't fight it. 11:19 It seems that Health Expo is really saying, 11:21 "No, that's not true" but what do you talk about then? 11:24 Just a couple of months ago, I was in India, 11:27 and we held a Health Expo, 11:29 and a Health Expo training seminar there... 11:31 And some of the leaders that I was working with, 11:34 they said, "You know, the NEWSTART Program is great 11:37 perhaps in America, but some of the nutritional aspects 11:41 will just not fit Indian culture. " 11:43 Let's take, for example, the area of refined vegetable fat. 11:47 You talk about the importance of trying to use 11:52 whole plant foods as much as possible, 11:54 and avoiding refined oils... 11:56 which are subject to oxidation especially when you're cooking. 11:59 And so they said... "Dr. Nelson, you have 12:01 to understand" You know, when you're dealing 12:04 with an Indian culture, if you take out the oil, 12:07 you're kind of attacking our whole way of eating. 12:10 So I listened, and then I went out to a bookstore... 12:15 And there I saw... was the featured 2 books of 12:19 the month; one was "Diet for Reversing Heart Disease" 12:23 and I go, "I've got to get this" 12:24 And I looked inside, and it was 100% oil-free whole plant foods 12:31 all the way through, English and Hindi, all the way through! 12:34 And what I thought to myself, "My own church members 12:38 are not aware of this" 12:40 But here's an individual who is a scientific cardiologist, 12:44 not religiously affiliated, and he's out there saying 12:48 "This is the diet for a new India" 12:51 Right there, so it was in English and in Hindi... 12:54 And I bought one, brought it home with me, 12:56 and just out on the press... 12:58 I'm sorry I don't recall the name of the book, 13:01 but you probably can find it with a good Internet search 13:04 on "oil-free Indian cooking" and it's possible. 13:07 Why do we go, some people say to the extreme of saying 13:11 "whole plant foods" and one reason is 13:14 ...if we show them how to do it with whole plant foods 13:18 without the refined foods, when they go home, 13:20 they'll say "I can do this" 13:22 If we showed them how to do it 100% the best way, 13:25 chances are, when they go home, changes will be bigger. 13:28 So the real motto is "Don't assume that 13:33 people don't want to hear the whole truth... 13:34 give them the whole truth, then let them do 13:36 with it what they want to do. " 13:38 I'm told that the "American Heart Association" reviewing the 13:41 Dean Ornish Program, for example, was saying, 13:43 "This is not very practical in 13:45 American culture... it's difficult" 13:47 The answer is, that's right! 13:49 It's different, but I understand that Dr. Ornish said, 13:52 "Let's not hide the truth from the people, let them know" 13:56 And we were pleased to have his endorsement of our 13:59 NEWSTART Cookbook. 14:01 Our program is different in that we are a little bit 14:03 higher fat, but we use natural plant fats still protected. 14:08 And in the Health Expo, no matter where we go, 14:10 the first thing we do when we arrive, we want to go out 14:13 and find out... Are all the ingredients 14:15 for good health in that community. 14:16 So, if we're in the former Soviet Union, 14:19 we go to the bazaars... we go shopping. 14:21 I take pictures with my digital camera, 14:23 and on the first time we talk about nutrition, 14:25 I don't talk about American food, I show them their own food 14:30 We weigh it. We look at the prices. 14:32 We show them that eating can be healthy in their own culture. 14:35 I remember one city, Arkhangelsk, Russia, 14:38 and the people came to us, and they said, 14:40 "We have 2 problems here; 1. We're too fat. 14:43 2. We can't get enough to eat. " 14:45 I want to hear more about that story. 14:46 We're talking to Dr. Richard Nelson. 14:48 He's telling us the truth about your health, 14:51 and about Health Expos... Join us when we come back! 14:56 Have you found yourself wishing that you could shed a few pounds 14:59 Have you been on a diet for most of your life... 15:01 but not found anything that will really keep the weight off? 15:05 If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, 15:07 then we have a solution for you that works! 15:10 Dr. Hans Diehl and Dr. Aileen Ludington 15:13 have written a marvelous booklet called 15:15 "Reversing Obesity Naturally" 15:17 and we'd like to send it to you FREE of charge. 15:20 Here's a medically sound approach successfully used by 15:23 thousands who are able to eat more and lose weight 15:26 permanently without feeling 15:27 guilty or hungry through lifestyle medicine. 15:30 Dr. Diehl and Dr. Ludington have been featured on 3ABN 15:34 and in this booklet, they present a sensible approach 15:37 to eating, nutrition and lifestyle changes 15:39 that can help you prevent heart disease, diabetes, 15:42 and EVEN cancer. 15:43 Call or write today for your free copy of 15:45 "Reversing Obesity Naturally" 15:47 and you could be on your way to a healthier, happier YOU! 15:50 It's absolutely FREE of charge, so call or write today. 15:56 Welcome back! 15:58 Welcome to "Health for a Lifetime" 15:59 We've been talking with Dr. Richard Nelson 16:01 We're glad you're with us Dr. Nelson... 16:02 And I kind of cut you off in the middle of the story, 16:04 but you were telling us the truth about what 16:07 can really happen in communities 16:09 when they change their lifestyle habits. 16:10 You were talking a little bit about a country you were in, 16:13 and you say, "Hey, here are your foods, 16:15 here are the ways you can actually change in your culture" 16:18 So it is possible to change our 16:20 habits no matter what culture we're in. 16:22 We're going to talk about nutrition... 16:24 we have to be practical, 16:25 and we have to know that all the ingredients for good health 16:28 are in their community. 16:29 It's not true of every community in the world, 16:32 but MOST communities now that you go into... 16:35 If you go down to their bazaars and their supermarkets, 16:38 you can find that all the ingredients are there 16:40 if you make the right choices. 16:41 So you're dangerous with your digital camera. 16:44 In one city, Northern Uzbekistan called "Zarafshan" 16:49 which is a unique place... 16:50 It was the first time that a member of my church 16:53 had ever been in that city. 16:55 We had 1,200 people attending, 16:56 and it was so popular, that the government said, 16:59 "Could you please be on live television, so we can 17:01 do Q&A... So we did. 17:03 We were supposed to be on for an hour, and went 2 hours. 17:05 But during the program, we were showing pictures 17:08 of what's in their bazaar, and comparing the prices. 17:11 And, near the end of the week that we were there, 17:14 they were saying, "Dr. Nelson, 17:15 if you wouldn't mind... staying away from the butcher shops... 17:17 because business is really going down" 17:20 Because people are discovering that they could eat healthfully 17:23 for the same price! 17:25 Not necessarily cheaper but for the same price. 17:27 So, for some people it was good news that you were coming 17:30 and, others, it was bad news. 17:32 I was up, recently, at a conference where there were 17:33 a lot of people that were vegetarians in the city, 17:36 and in the newspaper it said, 17:38 "It's a wonderful time UNLESS 17:41 you sell this, that and the other... it's a boom time. " 17:45 I want to just show this flyer 17:46 to the folks that are watching here. 17:48 This is your actual new flyer on Health Expo... 17:51 It says, "Into all the world.. " 17:52 and then it begins to profile some of the different things 17:54 ...the Health Expo weekends, the actual Health Expo, 17:57 and it has a whole bunch of resources that 17:59 you can get a hold of concerning Health Expo... 18:03 the exhibit coordinator guidebooks, 18:06 the 8 NEWSTART exhibits, the banners, flip charts, 18:10 the stuff for children and everything else 18:12 is mentioned there. 18:14 So there's a lot of resources there... 18:16 You had put it all on computer, 18:18 and so if you have a computer or those types of things, 18:23 you can go to the Web page and look at that. 18:24 Correct me if I'm wrong, it's 18:26 www. healthexpo. org 18:30 That's right? That's right, and all this 18:32 information is there as well as you can call us 18:35 ...We'd be happy to share our experience, 18:38 and our expertise with your professionals in your community, 18:41 or your lay personnel. 18:42 Very likely if you do go to the Web page 18:44 and get your phone number, or call 3ABN, 18:47 you will be talking to someone like Dr. Nelson 18:50 because they really make a 18:52 good attempt at answering your questions. 18:54 I want to just show one other thing here... 18:56 I have a CD... tell us a little bit about that. 18:59 This CD created by Dr. Milton Crane and my brother, 19:02 Ken Nelson, also a physician, describes what makes people sick 19:07 It looks at "You-Surely-Blew-It and "How-He-Blew-It" 19:10 as they get old, develop disease, 19:12 and then discover how to reverse it. 19:15 It's full of great graphics and cartoons as well as 19:18 good scientific information. 19:19 So there are a lot of resources that kind of put 19:23 flesh on what you've been saying today, 19:25 or tangible objective things you can hand out 19:28 and you can get people knowing about this. 19:29 We want people to know that they can do this in their home 19:32 with their families, and do it practically. 19:35 So anywhere from a family to a community, 19:37 you can be involved in sharing these 8 natural laws 19:40 in a very compelling way. 19:43 And Health Expo has demonstrated that around the world, 19:45 and not just in the United States, 19:46 but also in developing nations and other developed nations 19:51 Governments have recognized that it is much cheaper to prevent 19:56 and that lifestyle diseases can be reversed in some cases 20:01 effectively, and our own government, 20:04 the Healthcare Finance Administration is studying 20:07 long-term with the Lifestyle Modification Project, 20:11 sponsored by Medicare. 20:13 With Health Expo, we want to get that information as rapidly 20:16 to the public as we can. 20:18 ...presented in a culturally sensitive way, 20:21 and use their own physicians and health educators 20:24 working side-by-side with us. 20:26 So they can learn it, and continue to teach it. 20:28 What's your success in any country like America, 20:30 or a Western country where they think they "know it all" 20:34 How do doctors, how do health professionals, 20:35 how does the public respond to a Health Expo? 20:38 Say, you went to Chicago, or 20:40 some major city... How do they respond? 20:42 We make it fun, and by making it fun 20:44 involving the whole family, we catch their interest. 20:47 We started with hand-painted panels, original art work 20:51 It took us 3 months to make each set, 20:53 and we continued to produce 4 sets a year for years. 20:57 Now we've gone to a wide format printer 20:59 which has high resolution, and we can put graphs 21:02 and charts, and also the artwork. 21:04 We want to make it interesting so that people... 21:07 their interest is caught. 21:09 There's plenty of information out there on health, 21:11 but making it practical for the whole family, 21:15 and also making it artistic, and where they can come in 21:18 and see... "That's myself, that's where I'm at. " 21:21 And combining that with some sophisticated 21:23 but inexpensive screening techniques... 21:26 i. e... looking at the common carotid arteries intima-media 21:30 thickness combined with the 21:32 brachial endothelial response test which 21:35 Dr. Helmut Fritz... 21:36 You said some big words there Ah yeah! 21:38 So you mean, they take these arteries and they see how 21:42 they respond and whether or not they're healthy. 21:44 We're using some sophisticated ultrasound equipment 21:46 to look at an area of the arterial wall in the 21:50 common carotid which actually reflects coronary artery disease 21:55 So if it's thick, they're bad news, 21:56 if it's thin, they're not so bad Basically. 21:58 And we combine that with another test which looks at 22:02 the response of your artery to ischemia, or lack of oxygen. 22:06 It's not real comfortable, for 4 minutes, we pump up a cuff. 22:10 We're still in preliminary studies but we can get a 22:14 pretty good idea if you have 22:16 increased risk of coronary artery disease. 22:18 Sounds like a real motivational tool as well. 22:20 Well, that's the whole idea. 22:22 We are not going to replace competent cardiology evaluations 22:26 What we'll do is identify more people who need to go 22:29 and see their cardiologist. 22:30 I bet you and I would imagine that coming out of these 22:35 health expos, you have just a lot of special interest stories, 22:39 or, you know, interest stories about individuals. 22:43 Do you have any of those types 22:44 of things that just come to mind? 22:45 As you know, we travel around the world, 22:48 and one place we went to, which is in southern part of 22:52 Central Asia... they brought a little child to me... 22:54 And I was all ready for my can speech that, 22:57 "You know, we're not running a clinic here, 22:59 I'm going to refer you to the government health clinic," 23:01 when I noticed this boy had significant heart disease, 23:03 and I knew in this country, they really had no heart surgery team 23:07 And so I said, "Look, I'll try to help" 23:09 And I called up Loma Linda University, 23:12 and I said, "Would you be willing to help a little child 23:14 from this country?" 23:16 And, I was kind of hoping they'd say "no," 23:18 because then I'd be off the hook. 23:19 I've done my best, but they said, "You know, we'll try. " 23:22 And make a long, interesting story as brief as possible, 23:26 that child, we took him to the United States 23:29 Flew him over there. That's right. 23:31 Brought him, spent 3 months with us. 23:32 His hemoglobin was only 8.0 which is pretty low. 23:36 Normal is what... 11 to 14 23:38 And, we put him on a whole plant food diet. 23:41 He had nutritional anemia, 23:42 and his hemoglobin was 14 by the end of 3 months. 23:45 But when we took him and did a cardiac echo, 23:47 and a cardiac catheterization, with some of the world's best 23:50 cardiologists and surgeons, they discovered 23:53 his heart couldn't be fixed. 23:54 What was the... What it was is, he had 23:58 no pulmonary arteries, nothing from the right side of the heart 24:01 connecting the lungs. 24:02 And in utero, he had developed these collateral vessels. 24:06 and it's a very complicated situation called 24:09 "tetralogy of Fallot with complete pulmonary atresia" 24:13 which is a fancy way of saying... 24:14 "no connection from the right heart to the lungs" 24:17 And, can you imagine having to take a child back 24:20 with an unmended heart! 24:22 We took him back to that city where there are only 24:24 4 Christian church members of my church 24:27 and when we got there, we presented the case 24:32 to all the physicians and they saw 24:34 we were part of a global healthcare system of the 24:36 highest standard... 24:37 And, we went to hold another health expo in their city, 24:41 and the program had been closed after the first day 24:45 because they said, "You know, this program appears to have a 24:48 strong Christian emphasis. " 24:50 And I said, "Well that's true because I believe in Creation 24:53 just like you do. " 24:54 But, the person who had closed the program, 24:57 called the governor, and the governor said, 24:59 "These people are the ones who are helping our community; 25:02 they have reached out to even help a small child... 25:05 even though his heart wasn't fixed, 25:07 we know they're part of a global healthcare system, 25:09 and they're helping people of other religions as well. " 25:13 And that opened up a new registered center... 25:16 and they saw our Christian church as a 25:18 center for health dissemination. 25:21 The very principles that they said our Ministry of Health 25:25 should be doing, we want you to help us with. 25:28 Our visas come from the Ministry of Health 25:30 in these countries and they appreciate the impact 25:32 we're having on the community. 25:33 So, sharing yourself with just one individual, 25:38 and it wasn't just you, it was a team, an international team. 25:43 We've seen that repeated in a number of other cities 25:45 and in 30 seconds to tell you in one place, 25:48 the largest church building project in ALL of the 25:51 Central Asia Republics was taken away because 25:54 the government didn't understand what its use would be 25:58 When they hosted the Health Expo, they said this is 26:01 the type of work we need... 26:03 And we realized that Health Expo isn't just 26:05 for people outside of their church, it's also for the 26:07 people in their own church. 26:08 This is something that we need in our Ministry of Health 26:12 and that's when the vice governor from that state 26:14 came through the NEWSTART Lifestyle Program 26:17 and today, throughout that country, 26:19 as well as some of the other nations we've been to, 26:22 the Ministries of Health are actually helping sponsor 26:24 the Health Expos! 26:26 Amazing... So doors open up that are going to benefit people 26:30 not only physically, but also spiritually... 26:32 But you're very respectful of whatever the culture is, 26:35 and they realize that, "Hey, this is going to help us 26:38 bottom line physically with our health. 26:41 Our motivation is Christ's love and, as our Creator, 26:44 we know He didn't wish these diseases upon us. 26:47 ...On anybody. That's right. 26:48 And by employing these lifestyle techniques, 26:53 we can bring a lot of happiness and health to a lot of families. 26:55 Someone is watching right now, Dr. Nelson, 26:57 in the last 30 seconds or minute together, 27:00 they're saying, "Look, I need to get in touch with 27:02 some of these principles, both either to 27:05 share or for myself personally, what should they do? 27:07 Call us, visit our Website, or call 3ABN for more information 27:12 about how lifestyle modification can work for you and your family 27:16 Let me give you the Website if you're interested in it... 27:20 If you're interested in the NEWSTART Program, 27:23 just go to... www. newstart. ws 27:29 ...that's 3 w's www. newstart. ws 27:35 And then if you're interested in Health Expo 27:38 either for yourself, your family or your community, go to... 27:41 www. healthexpo. org 27:45 We're glad that you've joined us today. 27:47 We hope that this has been inspiring to you to do 27:49 something for yourself, your family, or your community. 27:52 And, we hope that as a result they'll have health 27:54 that lasts for a lifetime! |
