Oh, they did. 01:17 Okay, just checking, all right. 01:19 Okay, now, first of all. 01:20 First of all... 01:21 I want to talk about 01:23 what you just did on that opening? 01:24 Oh, the opening. Yeah. 01:26 I mean, you called a lot of stuff out. 01:27 I could have couple on going, 01:29 but this was only about 30 minutes. 01:31 I understand that. 01:33 So there are so many drugs out there. 01:38 And my question is why are there so many drugs? 01:42 Well, honey, now, of course... 01:44 Now, first of all, we need to understand, 01:47 there's only two countries on planet Earth 01:51 that advertise direct drug to consumers, 01:55 two countries, United States and New Zealand. 02:00 All other countries don't do this. 02:02 So we along with New Zealand is the only two countries 02:05 that have drug commercials 02:07 advertise directly to consumers, all right. 02:12 And so, it's big money. 02:14 I mean, we're talking about $5 billion last year, 02:18 and it has doubled from four years ago. 02:22 So it's actually increasing in increasing rate 02:24 these drug commercials and evidently is working 02:27 because it's making a lot of money 02:31 for the pharmaceutical companies. 02:33 Well, yeah, it seems like when you're watching a program 02:36 now that almost every single commercial has a drug on it. 02:40 So I guess the question is who exactly are they targeting? 02:45 Well, now they're targeting 02:48 more or less to 65 years and over 02:52 because that age group, 02:54 they're still watching television. 02:56 The other age group, watch computers and laptops, 02:59 and whatever, so it's a 65 and over. 03:02 And quite frankly, 03:04 you can't blame them because as we age, 03:06 we also increase our drug medication as well. 03:10 So about 70% of people in United States 03:13 take at least one medication, and a lot takes two or three. 03:18 I remember, I worked at the Huntsville hospital 03:20 many years ago in the area of digestion. 03:23 And they will come in, 03:25 they will either call and ask me 03:26 or guess to ask me endoscopy. 03:29 And so I was assigned to write down on their chart, 03:33 the list of medications 03:35 that people are taking on a routine basis. 03:37 I remember, one person came, honey, one morning, 03:40 the lady said, she had a grocery bag, 03:43 she put it on the desk, she say, 03:45 "Here, you take them out, and you go through them 03:47 because it's too many for me to, 03:49 you know, list and everything." 03:51 So she had a big bag of drugs. 03:54 I see. Medication. 03:56 And so a lot of people are taking medication 03:57 as we get older. 03:59 And so in the top five, depending on your list, 04:03 top five is going to be synthroid 04:06 for your thyroid, 04:08 that's going to be on the top five 04:09 depending on your list. 04:10 You're going to have some type of medications 04:13 for blood pressure, 04:14 such as an ACE inhibitor, lisinopril, 04:18 okay, that's going to be in the top five. 04:20 You're going to have some type of stun drug, 04:24 such as crestor or lipitor, 04:28 that's going to be in the top five. 04:30 You're going to have maybe some medication for pain, 04:34 vicodin, that's going to be in the top five 04:36 somewhere in there. 04:37 And then various different lists, 04:39 but you're going to have maybe one for asthma, 04:43 then you have one probably for amoxicillin, 04:48 and then also neuciti you have up there as well 04:50 in that top five category depend on the list, 04:54 metformin for diabetes. 04:57 And all of those drugs, honey, have baleful side effects 05:01 and this is the dark side 05:04 of drug medication. 05:07 Okay, now, when you're talking about the side effects, 05:09 I mean, you started off with a lot of different ones. 05:12 I think the most amazing thing 05:13 that I've found and we have found 05:15 when we have clients that come to us 05:16 is the amount of drugs they bring when they come over. 05:18 That's true. 05:19 And the side effects 05:21 are not necessarily for the drug itself, 05:24 it winds up being another set of side effects 05:27 that come from it. 05:29 Yeah, yeah, that's true, honey. 05:30 Yeah because normally, let's say for instance, 05:33 and just a matter of record, let's say, you have diabetes. 05:38 Okay. All right? 05:40 So the first line of drug therapy, 05:43 of course, is metformin. 05:44 Okay. 05:46 But by taking metformin, it also is a definite leap 05:50 because it deplenish vitamin B12. 05:54 We need B-12 for cognition. 05:57 And so therefore with metformin, 05:59 there's a direct link to also, hold on to your seat, folks, 06:04 dementia and Alzheimer's disease. 06:07 Okay now. 06:08 Taking metformin deplenish B12. 06:11 So there's a lot of research on that as well. 06:14 And so therefore, a lot of people there, 06:16 all sort of disease has really increased, 06:18 a lot may be due to metformin 06:21 for those who are taking that drug for their diabetes. 06:24 So that's another dark side of drugs. 06:27 So you're taking other drugs for the side effects 06:29 of the first drug that you took, 06:31 so the list goes longer and longer and longer, 06:35 the dark side of medication of drugs. 06:39 Okay. 06:40 I know that on some of these drugs, 06:42 they also have a warning in black... 06:46 Yes. Or red. 06:48 Yes. 06:49 Well, just black. 06:52 Somehow, it looks like... 06:56 Even though what's on there... 06:58 Yes. 06:59 People are still taking them. 07:00 That's true. Yeah, that's true. Okay. 07:02 So the warning is there. 07:04 Yeah. 07:05 And the people still take them, 07:07 and other things are going to happen. 07:09 Okay, yes. Yes. 07:10 Now let me... 07:11 I think we have a graphic. 07:13 Let me say this, now in order for a drug to have a black box, 07:16 one is called a black box warning. 07:18 It's actually a warning in a black box. 07:21 Hence, black box warning. 07:23 Now for FDA to have any drug to have a black box warning, 07:26 it must have a tremendous amount of death 07:30 associated with some severe adverse reactions 07:34 to that drug 07:35 to have a black box warning, all right? 07:39 And several drugs have that. 07:41 But more drugs should have a black box warning 07:46 that they do not have right now. 07:48 So I want to go to our first graph 07:49 because this is going to be a profound statement 07:52 as far as that black box warning is concerned. 07:54 So let's go to the screen at this time, all right? 07:57 So I want to read this and let's say it's here. 08:02 "We found that this black box warning 08:06 was based on very low quality evidence 08:10 with a high rate of bias in addition to inconsistency." 08:16 Journal of clinical epidemiology, 2015. 08:19 So what it's saying is that a lot of drugs 08:23 may need this black box warning, 08:25 but it's bias, so therefore, a lot of drugs don't have it 08:28 but should have it on there. 08:30 And there's a lot of reference 08:32 as far as drugs not having this black box warning 08:35 and people don't even know it. 08:37 Now of course, the thing about the side effects, honey, 08:41 they're really legally by law 08:45 to disclose the side effects of the medication. 08:49 So you hear the medication, the drug itself, 08:52 then the last part of that is the side effects. 08:56 What they do to minimize that, 08:59 you see, there is a voice change. 09:02 So there's a nice voice talk about the benefits of the drug, 09:07 a pleasant voice, people smiling, etcetera, 09:11 but then when they list a side effects, 09:13 there is a voice change, monotone voice, 09:17 and they read faster of all the side effects. 09:21 So therefore, you might miss the side effects listed 09:26 that they talk about it in a commercial. 09:30 I just remember... 09:31 I remember when I was going through my cancer experience. 09:35 That's right. 09:36 And of course, at the time of this taping, 09:39 I'm a 12-year survivor. 09:41 And you're looking good too. 09:42 But I remember 09:44 when the oncologist began talking to me 09:47 about what I need to do, 09:51 50-50 percent chance of survival 09:53 and the recommendation, chemo radiation, 09:57 three to five years hormone treatment. 09:59 I asked this question, 10:01 "Tell me, what could be the possible side effects 10:05 if I take the chemo cocktail that you're asking me to take?" 10:10 And the comment was congestive heart failure, vomiting, 10:15 but we have something to stop that. 10:17 Lethargic, you'll be in a bed a little while. 10:20 You might wind up with breakage of... 10:23 Osteoporosis. 10:24 Yes, the hip, the wrists. 10:29 I said to myself 10:31 and then I said to my oncologist, 10:33 "How does that sound to you?" 10:37 Because I'm not feeling that, 10:38 I'm not feeling neither one of those things, 10:41 and I'm not with my family 10:42 under having to keep me day in and day out. 10:45 So, you know what, I'm going to go to the cross 10:47 and talk to the father about this, 10:49 but I'm definitely not going to be taking this cocktail. 10:53 Okay, I'm not taking this cocktail. 10:55 Okay. Yeah. I know. 10:56 And on our oncologist's report, 11:00 he has on your report on your chart, non-compliant. 11:04 Yeah, but I love him still. 11:06 Yeah, can we love him still? 11:07 Yeah. I have to go. 11:09 So remember, he had assistant come in with him 11:11 and he pointed you 11:13 talking about his assistant, pointed you say, 11:15 "You see this lady over here, so do you think I tell her." 11:18 I do go to the appointments however. 11:20 But you do. 11:21 Yeah, you go to appointments, but not to medication. 11:23 Yes. 11:24 But all I can say is God is awesome, okay. 11:27 Because here's the thing, folks, 11:29 we're not totally against drugs. 11:32 Case in point if by chance we're driving in our van, 11:36 going down, I-65, whatever, 11:39 and we get hit by a two wheeler, 11:41 hit our van, we roll over three times, 11:45 window broken, glass and cut and bruises, 11:47 and bleeding, in excruciating pain. 11:51 If you just happen to be driving by, 11:54 do not make me any herbal teas, 11:57 you know, take me to the hospital, 11:59 get on your cell phone, dial 911. 12:01 If I have to have surgery, 12:03 I want the best drugs that hospital has to offer. 12:07 I don't want a local, I don't want a expound, 12:09 I want complete anesthesia, 12:10 I want to be put out completely, all right? 12:12 I heard you. 12:13 But again with a lot of the medication, 12:16 sometimes, you know, drugs do have that dark side. 12:20 There's a powerful statement that there's one author said, 12:25 Christian author, Ellen White, 12:26 and this is going to be an eye-opener. 12:28 So let's go to screen, 12:29 let's see what she says about drug therapy, all right? 12:32 Let's go to the screen. 12:33 "Drugs given to cure 12:37 may reappear such as skin diseases, 12:42 ulcers, painful joints, 12:45 and the liver, heart, 12:48 and brain are frequently affected." 12:54 So that's that dark side 12:56 and she goes on to say 12:57 that side effects of drugs and drug therapy 13:02 and disease, they come from side effects of drugs 13:05 are the most stubborn, 13:07 the most incurable types of diseases. 13:11 So you have diseases due to poor lifestyle, 13:13 we got that. 13:15 Not drinking enough water, not exercising, 13:17 not eating properly, we get disease from that. 13:19 Sure. 13:21 But disease, we get from the side effects 13:23 of taking other drugs, 13:25 those diseases are more stubborn 13:29 and most incurable, those diseases. 13:33 Remember what I said, 13:35 I asked for, I asked the question. 13:37 That's what we tell people to do. 13:39 Yes, you did. 13:40 I asked the question, 13:42 "What could be the possible side effects of the chemo? 13:45 Oh, yeah. I remember that. 13:46 Okay, so my thing is that I always say, 13:49 "That's what people don't ask." 13:50 Sometimes, the doctor tells them something, 13:52 gives them the prescription, and they walk away with it. 13:54 And then of course, we've got to come back 13:56 to all the things that happened as a result of that. 13:58 So my thing is ask the question. 14:00 Yes. 14:01 Ask the question and hear what they have to say. 14:03 And they'll say it, they'll tell you exactly, 14:05 you know, the possibility is. 14:08 I said to myself the possibility 14:09 is I could see me now 14:11 going through every single one of those things, okay? 14:14 And they really don't disclose everything, 14:15 like they said before, and that's why 14:18 there are so many lawsuits on medication right now. 14:20 Absolutely. 14:22 $13 billion of criminal civil lawsuits 14:27 on the top five pharmaceutical companies, 14:30 13 billion, right now. 14:31 I realize that they did not disclose all the information 14:35 that they were aware of to general population. 14:39 What about the Bible? 14:41 Does the Bible say anything about drugs? 14:43 Well, it really does, 14:45 and we're going to probably read 14:46 just a few texts of scripture. 14:49 The Bible, it does not use the word drug in the Bible. 14:53 The word drug is not found there. 14:55 But there are two words in the New Testament 14:58 that points to where we get the word 15:02 pharmacy, pharmaceutical, and pharmacists. 15:06 Now this may be eye-opener. Okay. 15:09 But so just hold on to your seat. 15:11 The first text is Galatians 5, and I'll start with verse 19. 15:16 Let's go with verse 20. 15:18 Galatians 5:20, it says here, 15:21 "The works of the flesh which are manifest, 15:23 which are these, adultery, fornication, 15:25 uncleanness, lasciviousness," verse 20, "idolatry..." 15:28 Then next word is witchcraft. 15:31 Witchcraft in original Greek is pharmakeia 15:36 in which we get the word 15:38 pharmaceutical, pharmacy and... 15:44 Yeah, well, pharmaceutical and pharmacy, all right? 15:46 Witchcraft, all right? Yes. 15:47 Then we have another text 15:49 in Revelation 18:23, 15:55 I guess. 15:57 Yeah, verse 23. 15:58 Revelation 18:23, excuse me. 16:01 It says here, 16:03 "For thy merchants were great men of the earth, 16:05 for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived." 16:09 So this is kind of the end of verse 23. 16:12 Yeah, by thy sorceries... 16:14 Yeah. Okay. 16:15 And the word witchcraft, we get the word sorcery, 16:17 lot of respect. 16:18 So it's not saying that if you take medication 16:21 that you're practicing witchcraft, 16:23 we're not saying that. 16:24 But the underlying objective of witchcraft was sorcery 16:30 is to deceive. 16:33 People think that when we take medication, 16:36 it cures. 16:38 Drugs do not cure, 16:40 they just change the location of the disease 16:43 to a new location, 16:45 may manifest itself years later, 16:47 we think we're healed. 16:48 No, it's a deception, 16:50 that's where we get the word pharmacy 16:53 from witchcraft and sorcery, 16:54 that's the root word in original Greek. 16:56 So therefore drugs' dark side and if you stay with us, 17:00 we're going to give you some healing properties, 17:04 Helios is coming your way. 17:06 I think we're going to the kitchen right now, honey. 17:08 We're going to go in the kitchen. 17:09 And especially after all that information 17:11 about the negativity about what's going on up there, 17:14 we're going to make this Parmesan, 17:16 green onion skillet corn bread. 17:18 Oh, yeah. 17:20 So get your paper and your pencil 17:21 and meet us in the kitchen. |
