00:46 Hello and welcome to "Health for a Lifetime"
00:48 We've glad that you've joined us today! 00:50 Today we're going to be talking about a fascinating subject 00:53 about foods and how they affect the mind, 00:56 and talking with us about this 00:58 important subject is Dr. Tim Arnott 01:01 Dr. Arnott is a medical doctor who practices medicine at the 01:06 Lifestyle Center of America in Oklahoma 01:09 Dr. Arnott, we're glad that 01:10 you're with us today. Thank you, it's good to be here 01:12 You've been practicing medicine for about 14 years. 01:15 You've been at the Lifestyle Center for what... 3 years now? 01:17 4-1/2 years... 4-1/2 years - time flies 01:20 when you're having fun! Yes it is 01:21 And you're helping people REVERSE the common killers 01:25 in our Western diseases, isn't that right? That's correct 01:28 At the Lifestyle Center of America, 01:29 we're involved in removing the CAUSE of disease. 01:33 Now, you know, we've entitled the program today, 01:34 "Medicine for the Mind" 01:36 and I assume that there are a lot of people that come 01:39 with a lot of illnesses and different things, 01:40 but ultimately it comes down to things that they can actually 01:44 deal with on the basis of choices and things in their mind 01:48 There are things that we can do to actually 01:50 help fight depression besides taking a medicine, 01:54 and many individuals are familiar with the Prozac, 01:58 the Paxil, the Serzone, different medicines that help 02:01 raise this neurotransmitter, the chemical in the brain 02:05 called serotonin and that does help to boost our mood, 02:09 but there are some side effects, 02:11 and there's always side effects with medicine 02:12 and so researchers are looking for other ways to do what 02:17 these medicines do. 02:18 So, you know, sometimes there's an axiom - 02:20 "Physician heal yourself" 02:21 but what about patient - "Heal yourself" 02:23 If you were recommending a food that people should eat 02:27 or something that would help 02:29 relieve depression, what would it be? 02:32 Well, Dr. Smith, at Littlemore Hospital, 02:34 in Oxford, England actually took patients 02:37 that had MAJOR depressive disorder. 02:40 They had been treated with medicine and they had recovered. 02:45 They were no longer on medicine... 02:46 And what he actually did was to 02:49 feed them 2 different beverages. 02:51 And one beverage actually had no tryptophan in it. 02:56 And so they were getting nutrients but they were NOT 02:59 getting tryptophan and in the other beverage, 03:02 and they were treated in a serial manner so they could 03:05 see what happened to these individuals with their 03:08 depressive symptoms after getting tryptophan, 03:11 and after getting NO tryptophan. 03:13 And what they discovered was that almost two-thirds of those 03:18 individuals who had been depressed 03:20 but were no longer depressed, reverted back 03:24 to their depressive symptoms when they were given 03:28 this beverage that had NO tryptophan in it whatsoever... 03:31 And actually measured this with a test - 03:34 one of the typical Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 03:38 and what they found was the individuals who GOT the 03:40 tryptophan essentially had NO 03:42 increase in that depression scale, 03:44 Those who had NO tryptophan in their diet actually had a 03:48 significant increase in their depression scale. 03:51 So foods high in tryptophan... 03:53 What IS tryptophan? 03:54 Tryptophan is amino acid, it's one of the protein-building 03:57 The building blocks of protein. That's right 04:00 What foods would this be in? 04:02 Well, nuts and seeds and beans are important. 04:06 Tofu?... Tofu is an excellent source of tryptophan. 04:09 What if I don't like tofu and have never tasted it? 04:11 Well, you know, seeds are important... Soybeans? 04:14 Soybeans, of course, absolutely. 04:16 In fact, that would be the best way to get your SOY 04:20 is in the WHOLE form. 04:22 But tryptophan is the raw material that 04:25 serotonin is made out of. 04:27 It has actually shown that if you INCREASE the tryptophan 04:32 in the diet, you can increase the serotonin 04:35 that's going to be made in the brain because, you know, 04:39 we're made on this basis of you're only what you eat... 04:42 I mean... you are what you eat. 04:43 If you get the raw material to the body, 04:45 then it can make the important neurotransmitters. 04:48 So tryptophan is then made into, 04:49 I guess, serotonin or something like that. 04:51 Is there anything else that we need to eat with it, 04:53 or can we just go ahead and eat those seeds and we're okay. 04:56 Well actually, vitamin B6 is also very important 04:59 Where do you find that? 05:01 Well, vitamin B6 is going to be found in vegetables, 05:04 it's going to be found in grains ... WHOLE grains - of course. 05:08 So if you're eating a WIDE variety of vegetables... 05:11 If you're eating things like bananas, 05:14 and if you have insulin resistance or diabetes, 05:16 you want to get those bananas on the green side 05:18 rather than on the very ripe 05:19 side because they are more starchy there 05:21 rather than so much sugar. 05:23 But these foods, vegetables, bananas, and grains 05:26 are rich in B6 and that can help reverse... 05:29 So seeds and vegetables - so in other words, 05:31 the Genesis 1:29 diet, the original 05:34 diet in the Bible - just look at that... That's correct 05:36 If you eat foods as the Creator 05:38 offers them to you from the ground, you're going to 05:42 get B6 and be able to make that serotonin. 05:44 So depression, you know, it's a huge thing people struggle with 05:46 and I suppose people that come 05:48 to the Lifestyle Center of America deal with this; 05:51 maybe it's an underlying cause 05:53 that you identify right while they're there - is that right? 05:56 Absolutely, depression is an underlying side diagnosis 06:02 in many conditions and once you develop diabetes 06:08 and its complications, THAT can lead to depression. 06:11 Having a heart attack can lead to post MI depression. 06:17 Or even talking about it can depress us. Absolutely 06:20 But what about high protein diets? 06:22 Some people say - Well I'm doing this kind 06:23 of diet to lose weight... 06:25 Are there any hazards with that on the mind? 06:27 Well actually, there are problems with high protein diets 06:31 in that high protein simply means that you have 06:34 LOTS of amino acids coming at the body. 06:36 You have a lot of amino acids coming at the cells of the body 06:39 and actually, the amount of tryptophan that your body 06:45 is able to take advantage of and USE to make serotonin 06:49 under the conditions of a high protein diet are reduced. 06:52 So if you're on a high protein diet, 06:54 you get less serotonin because you have less tryptophan 06:59 being converted into serotonin. 07:00 There are competing amino acids in high protein foods 07:05 that compete with tryptophan reducing your serotonin level. 07:11 So certainly, if you're struggling with depression 07:13 or different things, the low carb plan of losing weight 07:17 is not something to look at. 07:19 That is ABSOLUTELY the case and in fact, fatigue 07:23 and symptoms of depression are likely to show up 07:26 on a low carbohydrate diet because of all the competing 07:29 amino acids competing with tryptophan... 07:32 And again, tryptophan is THE RAW MATERIAL for 07:36 what you need in your brain to feel happy, 07:40 and to have that positive mood. 07:42 Okay, so we've talked about tryptophan, seeds of all kinds, 07:46 and we've talked about vitamin B to change that 07:50 into what we need, but anything else 07:52 that we need to know about vitamin B? 07:54 Well actually, there are researchers, 07:55 Dr. Bernstein, for example, 07:57 of the New York Academy of Sciences, discovered that 08:00 there are B vitamins that are important; 08:02 folic acid is one of the important B vitamins; 08:06 B12 is also important. 08:08 Researchers have discovered that individuals who are 08:12 depressed are LOW in folic acid; 08:14 they are low in vitamin B12... 08:16 And, folic acid, for example, is going to be found in 08:21 whole grains - it will be found in beans, 08:24 AND especially in the dark green, leafy vegetables. 08:28 Ahhh - there they are again! 08:30 That's always the way - when I was in nurses' training 08:32 taking exams - whenever it said 08:34 dark green leafy vegetables, I knew that was the right answer 08:37 You know, that's the MOST protective food on the planet... 08:40 And the most TOXIC food on the planet is 08:43 partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, 08:45 so, you know, B vitamins are important. 08:47 Folic acid is important and vitamin B12 also 08:52 may be important for limiting depression and reducing symptoms 08:56 And that's important because as your transfer over to a 08:59 plant-based diet, one of the things you're going to be 09:01 missing out on more and more is vitamin B12. 09:04 Where do you get vitamin B12? 09:05 Well vitamin B12 is made only by bacteria on this planet. 09:09 It's made only by anaerobic bacteria which are bacteria 09:12 that don't require oxygen. 09:15 So you can get B12 from animal products because 09:19 animal products have a lot of bacterial contamination... 09:22 That's a very nutritious thought 09:24 to think that we need those animal products... 09:25 But the problem with animal products is they can give you 09:27 all these Western diseases! 09:29 So you have to take a supplement? 09:31 So you really do need to take a supplement. 09:32 Now if you're in a Third world country... 09:35 if you're in Siberia, if you're in Africa... 09:37 I was in Africa just last year and I sat down with 09:41 a bunch of individuals to eat a meal and they were 09:45 using fingers for utensils... 09:47 And so you're going to get more 09:50 bacteria into your system that way... 09:53 And, you know, individuals are living closer to the earth; 09:56 they're growing their own food; 09:57 they're growing organic produce... 09:59 And they're not using all of the hot water, detergents 10:03 and soaps and antibacterial soaps... 10:06 They're going to have more friendly bacterial exposure. 10:08 They're going to get more of the vitamin B12, 10:10 and that's what we see individuals in these 10:12 Third world countries who are even vegan - total vegetarians 10:14 ...They are not B-12 deficient, but here we are 10:17 in every study that looks at it... 10:19 I never thought I'd hear a doctor talk about 10:21 friendly bacterial exposure. Well it's true! 10:25 So in other words - maybe not 10:26 wash my hands or brush my teeth as much? 10:28 Well, I don't know if I would necessarily recommend that. 10:32 But definitely get away from the antibacterial soaps. 10:36 But in this country, where we are not growing our own food, 10:38 you know there is a lot of pesticides going onto the 10:41 fruits and vegetables, for example... 10:43 you really need to take a supplement. 10:47 You know, you don't have to take my word for that, 10:49 but CHECK your vitamin B12 level and if that is not near the top 10:53 of the range, right around 800-1000, 10:56 you're going to missing out. 10:57 What happens when you're low in vitamin B12 10:59 besides depression - can it mess your body up otherwise? 11:02 Absolutely! Your immune system can be compromised. 11:07 In fact, they have actually done studies taking nursing home 11:10 patients - individuals in extended care facilities 11:14 and they have vaccinated them with the Pneumovax; 11:17 the bacteria, the pneumococcal vaccine... 11:20 And they vaccinated those who had enough B12 in their body, 11:23 and those who did NOT have enough B12, 11:25 and those who were B12 deficient actually had a significantly 11:30 lower antibody response to that vaccine... Interesting! 11:34 And so, in fact, I remember being a total vegetarian, 11:38 back in Iowa and if I stepped outside for just the 11:42 shortest period of time, I would invariably come down 11:45 with a head cold, sinus infection, bronchitis. 11:49 So there are people out there that seem to be doing 11:52 everything healthy but they get sick all the time, 11:54 they need to check their vitamin B12 level. 11:55 Absolutely, once I started taking vitamin B12, 11:58 never had a problem, can go out without a shirt in the 12:00 coldest weather - not an issue. 12:02 B12 is important whenever you're going to divide a cell, 12:06 whenever you're going to make DNA... 12:08 And 2 of the most rapidly dividing cell populations 12:12 in the body are red cells and white blood cells which are... 12:15 Are your immune system... 12:16 Your immune system, your oxygen-carrying cells... 12:18 So if you don't have enough B12, you can become anemic, 12:23 not iron-deficient anemic, but anemic, 12:25 and you can become white blood cell - weak, 12:28 in other words - white blood cells don't work as well. 12:29 That really explains a lot because I've heard 12:31 so many people that talk about how they do everything 12:33 healthy but they may be having had... 12:36 So you can get that checked easily - vitamin B12 12:38 Can you get it checked easily with your physician? Absolutely! 12:41 Now talking about foods and the mind again, 12:43 we're talking about the mind and medicine, 12:45 and this sense of well-being that comes from 12:47 serotonin levels, are there any other things we need to know? 12:50 What's the most powerful way to increase that level? 12:53 Well you know, we talked before on this program about 12:55 something that is very simple, 12:58 and there are 2 natural remedies the Creator talks about a lot, 13:05 or that He emphasizes a lot 13:06 and those 2 are fresh air and sunlight. 13:08 I think you have a graphic on sunlight, don't you here. 13:10 Sunlight- yes, we probably have a graphic, 13:12 and sunlight is probably the MOST POWERFUL way 13:17 that you can raise your serotonin level. 13:20 Just go outside - how long? 13:22 As soon as your eyes are exposed to that bright intensity light, 13:27 your serotonin level will shoot up. 13:29 So in this graphic it shows on a 395. 13:33 ...395 is the amount of serotonin being produced 13:37 on a bright day if you're standing outside. 13:39 Versus a dull day, it's only 49. 13:41 That's right, it's actually 8 times more serotonin 13:45 made in your brain when you're standing outside on a bright day 13:48 But notice, the amount of serotonin that you make 13:51 outside on a dull day is not anywhere near what... 13:56 In other words - Excuse me, it's much MORE than what you 13:59 would make INSIDE day in and day out. 14:02 So, even on a dull day, you're going to make more 14:04 serotonin than you make inside, so you need to get outside! 14:07 So it's really true that little song... 14:09 "So let the sunshine in and face it with a grin" 14:11 That's EXACTLY RIGHT! 14:13 And in fact, we're told in the Scriptures that in His 14:17 presence is fullness of joy. 14:20 We're told that Christ is the Sun of righteousness, 14:24 and there is a story, so-to-speak, in nature 14:30 that shows a spiritual lesson and that is... 14:33 If you're in front of the sun - You know, the sunlight 14:37 the powerful intensity, you're going to raise your 14:39 serotonin level, you're going to be improving your mood, 14:42 and if you're in the presence of the SON, 14:45 you're also going to be experiencing joy. 14:47 So there's a lesson in nature that illustrates 14:50 the spiritual principle. 14:52 Now, another study you talked about, 14:54 and I think you have a graphic on this as well is... 14:55 the relationship between postpartum depression 15:00 and this whole idea - talk to me about that. 15:02 Yeah, I mean one of the things that we find after 15:05 a lady delivers a baby is - you know it's not uncommon 15:09 about 5% of women will actually 15:12 have depression - postpartum depression... 15:14 And these individuals, they're probably deficient in 15:20 omega-3 fatty acids which are 15:22 important for fighting depression. 15:24 But what they have found, that is they will take these 15:26 individuals - Get light therapy, 15:28 they have a #1, what does that mean? 15:30 The #1 actually is telling us what their depression scale is. 15:36 That's their depression scale. 15:37 In other words, that's the worst situation... 15:39 And then after 3 weeks of bright light? 15:41 After 3 weeks of bright light therapy, 15:43 they take these women and they do the Hamilton Depression Scale 15:48 again and they actually are at significantly lower; 15:53 50% less depression manifested on this test than when they had 15:59 none of the bright light. 16:01 So bright light is actually able to help boost serotonin level 16:05 in these women at the time of pregnancy, 16:08 and help them move away from depression. 16:11 We're talking with Dr. Tim Arnott 16:13 He is a physician at the Lifestyle Center in America 16:16 He helps people that are suffering with the common 16:19 Western diseases - one of which is depression. 16:22 And we're talking about the mind, 16:24 and medications for the mind, if you will, 16:26 that you can access. 16:27 When we come back, we're going to talk about exercise. 16:29 We're going to talk about other things and how they relate 16:31 to your mind and to those qualities you need to have 16:34 to have that sense of well-being. 16:36 We hope you join us when we come back. 16:39 Have you found yourself wishing 16:40 that you could shed a few pounds? 16:42 Have you been on a diet for most of your life, 16:44 but not found anything that will really keep the weight off? 16:47 If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, 16:50 then we have a solution for you that works! 16:53 Dr. Hans Diehl and Dr. Aileen Ludington 16:56 have written a marvelous booklet called... 16:58 "Reversing Obesity Naturally" 17:00 and we'd like to send it to you FREE of charge. 17:02 Here's a medically sound approach successfully used 17:05 by thousands who were able to eat more and lose weight 17:09 permanently without feeling guilty or hungry 17:11 through lifestyle medicine. 17:13 Dr. Diehl and Dr. Ludington have been featured on 3ABN 17:17 and in this booklet, they present a sensible 17:19 approach to eating, nutrition and lifestyle changes 17:22 that can help you prevent heart disease, diabetes, 17:25 and EVEN cancer. 17:26 Call or write today for your free copy of... 17:28 "Reversing Obesity Naturally" 17:30 and you could be on your way to a healthier, happier you! 17:33 It's absolutely free of charge, so call or write today. 17:39 Welcome back, we've been talking with Dr. Tim Arnott 17:42 We've been talking about medicine and the mind... 17:44 And Dr. Arnott helps people at the Lifestyle Center of America 17:49 to reverse or stop, or better yet, prevent 17:52 the common diseases that afflict those in Western countries, 17:56 and around the world as well. 17:57 Dr. Arnott, we've been talking about the mind! 18:01 We've been talking about substances that give us 18:02 a sense of well-being, that we eat foods that are 18:04 high in tryptophan. 18:06 You've said - seeds, nuts, grains can help us with that... 18:10 And then also make sure and get vitamin B6, 18:13 the B vitamins that can help that process go on. 18:16 You've talked about folic acid and you've talked about 18:19 vitamin B12 and make sure we're getting those things. 18:23 And it is pretty simple to find out whether 18:24 you are or are not just by looking at what you eat. 18:28 And we've talked about sunlight. 18:30 What about exercise though. 18:32 Well before we talk about exercise, 18:33 I just want to mention about B12 18:35 B12 again... okay. Because there is a wide 18:38 B12 range - anywhere from 200-1000 18:43 and if you just get a B12 level and you're told that you're okay 18:49 ...that may mean you have a level of 300 or a level of 400 18:53 But what you need to know is that the best B12 level 18:58 for getting a strong immune system, 19:00 and frankly for helping depression probably, 19:02 is going to be getting your B12 level near the top 19:05 of the reference range... 900-1000 somewhere up there. 19:08 The reason for that is that you will actually help lower 19:12 another amino acid that's important for 19:15 chronic disease prevention, heart attack prevention, 19:18 stroke prevention and that is homocysteine. 19:21 So just be careful that you don't just get a B12 level, 19:24 and be told that it's okay. 19:26 You want to make sure it's optimal right up near the top, 19:29 that's where you want to be. 19:30 Now exercise, yes, exercise has been shown to be important... 19:33 In fact, there are studies that have shown that exercise 19:37 put head-to-head with an SSRI - one of the 19:41 serotonin reuptake inhibitors that raise the serotonin level, 19:45 they are just as effective - exercise is just as effective 19:49 as one of the serotonin reuptake inhibitors 19:52 when put head-to-head for mild depression. 19:55 So, that's something that you definitely 19:58 want to include in your regimen. 20:00 So if you're depressed or struggling with that or know 20:03 someone that is, maybe walk with them out in the sunlight 20:06 as you're eating seeds! That's exactly right 20:08 Now Dr. Kennedy at the University of New Orleans 20:11 actually showed that exercise can reduce a number of 20:15 important parameters including depression, including anger, 20:19 including fatigue and he found out that the more intense 20:25 the exercise - the better. 20:27 So if you can be doing a brisk walk, 20:29 that's actually the most value exercise 20:32 for reducing symptoms of depression... 20:34 And interestingly enough, a more brisk walk, 20:37 and again, you want to build up to this gradually, 20:40 you don't want to just go out 20:41 and start a brisk walk necessarily... 20:42 You can just run down the block and not be depressed. 20:44 That's exactly right. 20:46 But the more intense the walking, 20:48 and you don't have to be jogging, 20:50 the more intense the walking, 20:51 the lower the risk of developing diabetes, 20:54 the lower the risk of developing heart disease, 20:56 the lower the risk of getting a stroke. 20:59 The more intense the activity, the better. 21:01 How does health of the mind affect the body? 21:03 I mean we alluded to that some, 21:05 but can you expand on it a little more... 21:07 Well you know, there was a friend of mine who 21:09 lived on the East Coast and this gentleman was 21:12 suffering with depression for a number of years. 21:15 And, I mean, it was a chronic problem, 21:17 it was affecting his relationships with his family. 21:19 It was affecting essentially all areas of his life. 21:22 And he was like in a pit and couldn't get out of this 21:25 pit of depression. 21:27 And then he came across some information, 21:30 and that information was in a book by Dr. Neil Nedley 21:34 and the book was called, "Depression, the Way Out" 21:39 And what that book basically said was... 21:42 There are individuals who are not getting enough of 21:45 an essential fat - essential means the body cannot make it, 21:50 you must eat it in order to get it into your body... 21:53 An essential fat - they're not getting enough. 21:55 Their brain isn't getting enough of these essential fats. 21:57 And what they've discovered - that individuals who are low 22:01 in the omega-3 fats, 22:02 the alpha linolenic acid - for example, 22:05 these fats that are only made by plants, 22:08 if you're not getting enough, you could be depressed. 22:10 When he found that out, he learned, in Dr. Nedley's book, 22:15 that salmon and fish were an excellent source 22:18 of these omega-3 fats. 22:21 And there was quite a bit of information in the same book 22:24 about the disadvantages of fish, 22:27 but it did say that they were rich in omega-3 fats, 22:31 and so he went out and started 22:33 having salmon a number of times a week. 22:36 Well, lo and behold, this individual's depression 22:39 symptoms started to abate. 22:42 And at that point... So they went away - okay 22:44 It started to go away and at that point, he had a 22:47 spiritual transformation and so it was for this gentleman, 22:51 it was not until he had replaced the physical needs... 22:55 He had met the physical needs of the body, 22:57 in this case omega-3 fat, of course there are many others, 23:00 that he was able to understand and appreciate spiritual things. 23:05 So, a lot of times, we may wonder why we are feeling down; 23:08 we're having a Christian experience SLUMP, if you will, 23:12 maybe we're backsliding, maybe we had forgotten about God 23:14 It could be that we're MISSING something INSIDE the body, 23:18 a nutrient that we need. 23:19 So there is a significant connection between our 23:24 physical body and nutrition and whether we're able 23:27 to have a healthy mind and a healthy spirituality. 23:30 So you have alluded then to something here as well... 23:33 Another marker that can help us know that we may be 23:36 struggling with depression is 23:39 our spiritual sense of well-being and whatnot... 23:42 And you've alluded to the fact that there is a Creator, 23:45 and there is a Lord there that is interested in us. 23:48 And I know He has an owner's manual as well - 23:51 we call that the Bible. 23:53 Is there anything - any help in the owner's manual, if you will, 23:56 when people are struggling or suffering with depression? 23:59 Well you know, one of the things that we face quite a bit 24:03 in lifestyle medicine and trying to help people overcome habits, 24:09 is this whole idea of - okay you move away from a habit 24:13 for a short period of time but within 6 months, 24:17 you're back doing the very same thing. 24:19 And so there is this idea in lifestyle medicine 24:23 or lifestyle change of recidivism, 24:25 and that's one of the major complaints that people have 24:29 with lifestyle change - is that they actually say... 24:32 Well, people are going to go back to it! 24:34 So what does the book say about that? 24:37 Well, at the Lifestyle Center of America, 24:39 we actually have one of our lectures where we share 24:41 with individuals tools to help them achieve permanent 24:45 lifestyle change. 24:46 And, part of those tools come from the owner's manual, 24:51 and there is something very important in the owner's manual 24:54 and THAT IS that we have a Creator that doesn't have 24:59 lifestyle hang-ups. 25:00 He doesn't have depression. 25:02 He is the SOURCE of happiness, 25:04 and there's a principle - a law in the universe 25:07 that by beholding, we come changed. 25:09 You'd say that's the most important law. 25:11 That's the MOST important law! 25:13 In fact, one of the reasons for depression is that 25:16 we spend a lot of time looking and listening 25:19 to things on the news, in the newspaper, on the radio, 25:23 over the airwaves - in many different ways that are negative 25:26 that are very depression- promoting. 25:30 You have a graphic here that has these ways that we can 25:34 avoid going back to destructive behaviors. 25:37 Let's look at those as we're closing out the program. 25:39 The first one here - it says... "Behold the Lamb of God, 25:41 which taketh away the sin of the world" 25:43 So looking at Jesus... Right? 25:45 That's correct - in fact, most of us are short on time. 25:49 And if you're short on time, and you want to actually 25:53 focus on an area that can bring the MOST change 25:56 for the time that you spend, 25:57 you want to focus on the crucifixion... 26:00 The CLOSING scenes - you want to focus on the suffering Savior 26:05 and that is where you're to actually have the most 26:07 power to change lifestyle habits. 26:11 The most power to raise you up and bring you into the 26:14 presence of the Creator... 26:15 And remember, "In His presence, is fullness of joy" 26:19 The next graphic we have is... 26:22 "The Creator is holy, harmless, undefiled" 26:27 That's right, in fact, we were talking earlier about 26:30 one of the reasons for depression is that we focus on 26:33 things that are depressed or depressing! 26:36 So when we look at Him, we don't get depressed... 26:37 As we focus on someone who is holy, harmless, undefiled, pure, 26:42 then that is what we become like. 26:44 That's a LAW of the universe that we can take advantage of. 26:46 Next, we have... "I if I be lifted up from the earth, 26:52 will draw all unto me. " 26:54 There are some who think that they're hopeless. 26:56 You know, that they've gotten discouraged. 26:58 They think there's really no hope for me. 27:01 The owner's manual tells us that ALL will be drawn 27:07 to the Savior IF they behold... 27:10 Of course, He's the center of health and healing and wholeness 27:13 Our last one here on your list was - 27:15 let's look at that last one. 27:16 "This is life eternal, that they might know the Creator" 27:20 That's right... One of the things we tell or we encourage 27:24 our participants in the Lifestyle Center of America 27:26 is, yes, you can adopt healthy principles, 27:29 and maybe live a little bit longer, 27:30 but if you miss out on eternity, you've missed out on everything. 27:34 We've been talking with Dr. Tim Arnott 27:36 We've been talking about medicine for the mind, 27:39 and Dr. Arnott is a physician 27:42 at the Lifestyle Center in America 27:43 He has written a recent book summarizing many of 27:46 these different principles. 27:47 We hope that today's program has been helpful to you 27:50 and that as a result of it, 27:52 you'll have health that lasts, not just for now, 27:54 but lasts for a lifetime! |
