00:06 Hey buddy. Hey, hey.
00:08 Proverbs 18:24 states
00:11 "A man that has friends must show himself friendly
00:15 and there is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother. "
00:19 Hello and welcome to From Sickness to Health.
00:22 I'm Rico Hill. your host, and this is Sickness my...
00:26 What are we exactly? We're friends.
00:29 Really? I mean you're all about the whole sick thing
00:32 and I'm more about health and we don't agree on anything so...
00:34 Well, that's because you're... how do I say this gently?
00:38 EXTREME!
00:40 Really? Give me one example. OK.
00:44 I'll give you one example. All right.
00:45 Let's take your definition of health. OK.
00:48 You think people should be healthy every single day.
00:51 That they should never get sick.
00:53 You know, people like some sympathy when they're sick.
00:55 For instance: "Oh baby, how're you doing?
00:59 Do you feel OK? " People love that stuff!
01:02 Then let's talk about sick days. People love sick days.
01:06 All right. Fine, fine, fine... but...
01:08 but here's the thing: You're my friend, right?
01:10 That's right. OK, so as my friend it wouldn't bother you if
01:14 I had aching joints? Having sleepless nights
01:19 because of migraines? What if I had to fork out
01:23 thousands of dollars for expensive rehabilitation
01:27 and all this. Or heart attack? It wouldn't bother you
01:30 if I? Oh, how about deforming crippling arthritis?
01:34 I'm totally fine with it.
01:36 Wow! In today's program we're going to identify
01:41 real friends versus those that just hang around like
01:46 friends but they're really not. Hey! I can hear you.
01:49 Right over here. I can hear you talking about me.
01:51 Come on... Roll it!
01:54 Rico. Oh Rico, come back here.
01:56 Hey... get back over here. Hey!
01:59 We're friends and you should identify that.
02:35 Have you ever had a pain in your neck
02:39 or somewhere else on your body that just wouldn't go away?
02:42 Or better yet, have you ever had
02:45 something that hung around and you embraced it like a friend
02:49 or family member? You know, we're talking about
02:54 arthritis today. And you know sometimes people embrace
02:57 their pain like it's a friend or a family member.
03:01 Now we wouldn't do that if someone robbed our house.
03:03 We wouldn't say, you know: "My robber. "
03:06 So today we want to separate what's a friend and what's an
03:11 enemy and who we should be embracing.
03:13 Today we have joining us our good friend, and he IS a friend,
03:17 Dr. Jim Said who is a board-certified chiropractor
03:21 and a naturopathic doctor.
03:23 And as I always say, he is on the forefront of
03:27 educating people about good health.
03:29 Welcome to the program.
03:31 Thank you so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.
03:34 Well we're really happy to have you with us
03:35 because we're talking about a subject that people need
03:38 to understand today. Now, we find that millions
03:43 of Americans, doc, millions of them
03:46 are affected by this lifestyle disease.
03:50 Certainly in the African- American community. Sadly.
03:53 But what really sort of strikes me is that this particular
03:57 lifestyle disease has become affectionately known
04:01 as "Arthur" or "Uncle Arthur. " Um-hmm.
04:07 So in other words, it's being embraced as if it
04:09 were a family member. But we want to really show
04:12 that this is no friend and it's no family member, right?
04:15 Absolutely. But before we do that, let's allow
04:18 our, well so-called friend Sickness
04:22 on this program to get his point in
04:25 before we get into the discussion. Let's see what he
04:27 has to say.
04:30 Hey Rico, since we're talking about friendship
04:33 one of my good friends is in town today.
04:37 You may know him: Arthur. You know, a lot of people
04:39 call him Arthur-ritis. Arthur-ritis... get it?
04:44 Sixty million Americans suffer from this doctor diagnosed
04:48 disease. That's nearly 1 in 5... do the math.
04:52 I just did. Anyway... 2/3 of those are under the age
04:57 of 65 so it's not just an old folk disease.
05:00 You know what I mean? Let's take this lady over here for example.
05:04 As you can see, she's got a lot of blue areas.
05:08 That's my friend Arthur at work.
05:11 Let's just see. Lady... does that hurt? AAAH!
05:15 Well, you can see what a real friendship looks like.
05:19 We may not have it but Arthur and I do.
05:22 Back to you, Rico.
05:24 Whoa! Poor lady, right?
05:27 Absolutely. Well doc, what do you have to say about
05:31 this issue of "Uncle Arthur? "
05:35 I feel badly for the family member, that's for sure -
05:38 yeah, yeah - because it's a huge issue.
05:40 It affects so many and we see that there are over 100 types
05:46 of arthritis. How about this? There are some common ones...
05:50 over 100... but there are some common ones, right?
05:52 Osteoarthritis; rheumatoid arthritis.
05:55 You've got infectious arthritis and there's a fourth one.
05:58 What's that fourth one? Rheumatoid?
06:00 Juvenile rheumatoid? You mean this is affecting children?
06:02 Um-hmm. Talk to us about these common ones.
06:05 The biggest issue about arth- ritis is very straightforward.
06:09 It means inflammation of a joint.
06:11 Whether it's acute. In other words, it's hurting
06:15 from some kind of an injury that's an arthritis.
06:18 From an infection can be an arthritis.
06:21 Or in the case of rheumatoid or juvenile-onset it can be
06:25 a connective tissue disease... that is, the body is attacking
06:28 the joint itself. The immune system has gone awry.
06:31 It's gone haywire and it's seeing its own tissues
06:34 as foreign and it wants to get rid of them.
06:37 All these lead to inflammation of the joint.
06:40 The biggest issue most people suffer with
06:42 is chronic arthritis. Chronic arthritis.
06:45 Osteoarthritis it's also called.
06:48 And this is a condition that really has two drivers.
06:52 One is by the mechanics of the body:
06:55 posture and how we use the body.
06:57 And the other has to do with what we eat -
07:00 our style of living - and also how we exercise
07:04 and stretch and keep movement and flexibility of the body.
07:08 I'll give you an example.
07:10 This is something I see literally every day in practice.
07:12 OK. Bad posture. People... Sit up!
07:18 Go ahead. People who chronically slouch.
07:20 Yeah. The classic couch potato
07:23 or someone sitting over a computer desk
07:26 or over a counter all day
07:29 where the back is forward and the back is "slunched"
07:32 and that's how they spend hours and hours a day.
07:35 The problem with that is the effect is has on the body.
07:39 Give an example: in a slouched position
07:43 the low back goes in reverse.
07:46 It's designed to go forward; slouching has it come backwards.
07:50 Then what it does is it causes the mid back to round
07:54 and then the shoulders start wrenching forward.
07:57 Then the neck has to come up to be able to keep the eyes
07:59 level to the horizon. Um-hmm. That's how we're designed.
08:02 At the same time, the back of the thighs - the hamstrings -
08:06 tighten. So do the calves. So people can't touch their toes
08:11 easily for example. Um-hmm. What that does
08:15 is it causes the whole spine to come forward
08:17 and now the muscles have to splint or tighten
08:20 so you don't collapse forward.
08:22 At the same time the feet literally start to duck.
08:27 They splay outwards. They start duck walking.
08:30 Yeah. And then the hips start to tighten behind the hips.
08:35 Called the external rotators: the hip muscles that turn
08:39 the hips out. And it perpetuates itself.
08:42 Then what happens is it causes the brain to compress.
08:47 The net effect. Now let me try to understand that.
08:50 So the brain is compressing? Yes. How so?
08:54 How is the brain compressing? The brain has a covering
08:57 around it called meninges. It just means covering in Latin.
09:01 And those coverings anchor to the skull
09:05 and the beginning and end of the spinal cord
09:09 in the neck and in the sacrum... the tail bone.
09:13 As it compresses, the brain is like a water balloon
09:18 if you will. You're pulling on it -
09:20 um-hmm - and so it starts to compress.
09:22 Then what happens is the vertebrae in the spine
09:26 start to reshape
09:29 and become arthritic literally.
09:32 Now I like something you said there.
09:35 I like all that you said, but you used the word designed.
09:38 So we specifically were designed by God
09:42 to walk a certain way, to sit a certain way.
09:45 To have good posture and all these things. When we don't
09:49 do that it affects our skeletal structure.
09:53 Now I want to show a video real quick here
09:56 that's going to give us some insight because
09:59 they were talking about arthritis on the news.
10:01 So let's take a look at this video.
10:04 Dr. Holly Phillips is with us. Good morning.
10:07 Good morning. OK, we all did it when we were younger:
10:09 cracking our knuckles. Fact or fiction? Does that cause
10:11 arthritis? Well, cracking your knuckles...
10:14 that's absolutely fiction. It does not cause arthritis.
10:16 But you know, if your mom told you not to do it
10:18 she was on to something.
10:20 Even though it doesn't cause arthritis it damages
10:23 the joints in other ways. It stretches out the tendons
10:25 and the ligaments and in really bad cases can
10:28 decrease your grip strength. So mom was on to something
10:31 when she said "Don't do it. " How about wearing high heels?
10:33 High heels, regretfully for many of us,
10:36 that is a fact. It does lead to arthritis.
10:40 And what's interesting is two inches seems to be the
10:43 critical break point. Heels higher than two inches
10:45 cause something called medial loading... where you put more
10:48 pressure on the inside of your knees.
10:50 That degenerates the joint and leads to arthritis.
10:53 This is a little bit more than two inches.
10:55 Just a tad... just a tad... maybe three times as much.
10:57 I may have arthritis tomorrow after wearing these.
11:00 All right. The higher the heel the longer you wear it, too,
11:02 that raises your risk. So you can wear those for five minutes.
11:05 You're good. OK... good. What about weather?
11:07 It certainly can exacerbate I think arthritis, but does it
11:10 cause it? That's absolutely right.
11:12 It's fiction that it causes arthritis.
11:14 The weather cannot trigger arthritis in somebody who
11:16 doesn't already have it. But cold and damp conditions
11:20 can really worsen arthritis pain for sufferers.
11:23 It causes swelling of the tissues around the joint
11:25 and then causes pain. And weight?
11:28 Does it affect arthritis? Weight is very much a fact.
11:31 It very much affects arthritis.
11:33 Now overweight and obesity are a top cause of osteoarthritis
11:37 of the hips, of the spine, and of the knees.
11:39 And just keep in mind every pound that you gain
11:42 feels like four pounds on your knees.
11:45 So it can add up very very quickly
11:47 and really degenerate the joints.
11:48 All right. Dr. Holly Phillips. Some good information.
11:51 Wow! You know, doc, it's interesting. When you...
11:53 When you watch the news they give you information
11:56 but there's not a lot of understanding there.
12:00 You know, they talk about the high-heeled shoes
12:03 and they talk about the weather
12:05 and how that affects. And Lord knows I've heard
12:08 many of my relatives say: "Oh, it's going to rain. "
12:12 "I feel it's about to rain because Arthur is acting up. "
12:16 That's what they say. So... But there's no understanding.
12:19 Why does that happen? And then they also mention obesity.
12:23 Let's take those three areas.
12:25 And then I want to make sure that we cover before... Maybe
12:27 before we go and check what people are saying on the street
12:31 we want to hear what we have to say here.
12:32 We want to check what they have to say on the street
12:34 but I want to make sure that we... What about the high heels?
12:37 What about the weather? What about the obesity?
12:42 And then what about diet? Um-hmm.
12:45 So let's start with high heels.
12:47 OK... here's the problem: when high heels are worn
12:51 it causes the calves to tighten and the back of the thighs -
12:55 the hamstrings - to tighten causing the low back to round
12:58 and the upper body to go forward.
13:00 Also it forces the tail bone to go at a higher angle
13:04 than we're designed. Um-hmm. So the body is trying to compensate
13:08 for two things in opposite directions.
13:10 Pulling against each other. Pulling against each other.
13:13 So the muscles force shortening... tighten...
13:15 and as a result it causes compression
13:18 on all the joints that are involved...
13:20 especially in the spine.
13:22 So I see this with many women that have worn high heels
13:24 for a long time. Not only does it cause bunions
13:27 because it's forcing the feet down -
13:30 yeah - and the foot shortens and the toes start to cross
13:34 and hammer toes start to form commonly but it also
13:38 starts creating problems in the neck and low back
13:40 and the joints start to inflame
13:42 because they're used in a way that they're not designed.
13:45 Not designed that way. How long would it take
13:48 for a woman who's wearing high heels to end up
13:51 in the place where arthritis may set in?
13:54 Is it 10 years? 15 years? 20 years?
13:56 Well it depends. It depends on the person's age,
13:59 what they're eating, how high the heels are. OK.
14:02 For example, a two-inch heel is what the body can usually
14:05 accommodate at the upper limit. Um-hmm.
14:07 3, 4, 5 inches puts a greater stress on the body.
14:11 If a person's younger, they're more resilient.
14:14 They're more flexible; they're more of an athletic
14:16 constitution that can accommodate it more easily
14:19 than someone who doesn't exercise, who doesn't stretch.
14:22 Someone who's older, someone who's overweight:
14:24 these are the things that start becoming progressive issues.
14:26 I see, so... All right, so that's high heels.
14:29 So this is something that can lead obviously to arthritis.
14:32 Yes. Now in that little news clip we saw we saw also
14:36 weather. Now I have certainly heard, and I mentioned that,
14:38 that people say you know: "It's about to rain
14:41 because Arthur's acting up. " What is it about weather?
14:44 Yeah, I have many patients who are more accurate than
14:46 the weather people. And here's what happens:
14:49 when a weather front comes in the barometric pressure drops.
14:53 That's what brings that weather front in.
14:54 When it drops - like at night- time the same kind of thing
14:58 happens - anything that's inflamed inflames even more.
15:01 So the joint that's inflamed will express greater pain
15:05 because it's swelling more than it was when the barometric
15:08 pressure was higher. OK. That's the issue with weather.
15:11 For those who may not know what barometric pressure is
15:14 what is that exactly? It's the pressure
15:16 that we have around us in the atmosphere. OK.
15:19 And it's going up and down depending on many different
15:22 factors. And when it's about to rain, the pressure is?
15:25 Pushing down. It drops. It drops.
15:27 Right. That's what brings the weather front in.
15:31 So as that happens, joints will inflame more than they were
15:35 even prior to that. Well doc, who wants to be
15:37 a... you know... telling the weather with pain?
15:40 That's the hard way. That's the hard way!
15:42 I'd rather just watch the news, right? No question.
15:45 Now in that news clip - speaking of news -
15:47 they also mention obesity. Ahh... yes.
15:51 That's kind of an easy one, right? It's an easy one.
15:53 We're designed for height and weight within optimal range.
15:58 OK. When we exceed that range
16:01 our joints take the brunt of that 'cause they have to
16:03 carry more weight than they're supposed to.
16:05 OK... this is heavy... this is heavy:
16:06 so you're telling me that genetically our DNA is
16:10 designed - there's that word again - designed to bear
16:14 a certain load. When we exceed it
16:17 we are putting too much stress? Yes. Oh boy.
16:22 Oh boy. We are carrying a load more than our body is designed
16:25 to carry. Now no matter what type of clothing they make
16:29 to fit and all that you are bearing too much weight
16:33 and you could have an arthritic condition.
16:35 Example: put a backpack on and stuff it with 20 pounds
16:39 of rocks and see what that feels like on your hips and knees
16:43 at the end of the day. If a person puts on 20 pounds
16:46 of weight, that's also being carried by the body.
16:50 This is kind of like what it's like for me when I'm going
16:53 through the airport with all my bags. Exactly.
16:55 OK. OK. Now what we're seeing as it relates to
16:59 obesity and weight, this is a lifestyle/diet issue.
17:03 This is sitting in front of the television... Yes.
17:05 This is eating certain foods and not to mention the foods.
17:09 In a previous broadcast in a previous program we talked
17:12 about how milk is not doing a body good but actually
17:16 affecting the bones. Yes? Yes. Talk about diet for just
17:21 a few moments before we switch to another segment.
17:23 Very simple: when we eat foods
17:27 that are not designed for our physiology, the way our body
17:30 is made... OK. We're designed to live in a garden.
17:35 That's according to Genesis, right? The Bible.
17:37 Genesis the first chapter. That's right. We're designed
17:39 to live in a garden. That's how our body is made.
17:41 Our physiology accommodates food from the garden.
17:45 If we take things out of its original state
17:49 and we alter them and then take them in,
17:52 we pay the consequences. As an example,
17:54 the garden does not have white sugar.
17:58 It does not have white flour, biscuits, and white bread
18:02 or white rice or white flour pasta.
18:04 These are all refined, right? They're refined
18:06 so they cause the body to become acid and therefore
18:09 they are pro inflammatory. They actually trigger inflammation.
18:14 Other foods - the flesh foods especially -
18:17 meats, fish, fowl... OK, hold on a second.
18:20 I really want to talk about that, but before we do that
18:23 I want us to see, because we're speaking about this but
18:27 I know someone at home is saying: "Wait a minute.
18:29 you know you guys have an unfair advantage.
18:32 What about what I have to say? "
18:34 So we're going to go with Sickness. We're going to see
18:36 what he's saying or what people are saying on the streets
18:39 about "Uncle Arthur. " Let's see what they have to say
18:42 then we'll come back and we'll see maybe what the
18:44 Word of God says and what God, who designed us,
18:47 what He says that we should eat from the garden. Yes.
18:50 Let's take a look.
18:53 Now there's somebody who I like to call a dear friend.
18:58 OK. His name is Arthur. Do you know Arthur?
19:01 No! Arthur-ritis.
19:04 Arthur? Oh, arthritis!
19:08 Pains in your hands and your joints.
19:10 You know anybody with arthritis?
19:12 Your mom... does she enjoy it? No!
19:14 She hates it. She's actually grouchy.
19:16 Grouchy. Gets on my nerves when it happens.
19:18 You need to give her a pep talk. Tell her: "Mama,
19:21 Arthur is your friend. " Is he really?
19:24 He is your friend. You should say: "Mama,
19:26 how do I get me some arthritis? "
19:30 No... I don't want that.
19:32 Yes you do! There's confusion on the streets...
19:34 we're trying to clear it up.
19:36 You got a little arthritis? A little something there.
19:39 How does that feel? It does not feel good.
19:41 Not good at all. Oh man, you're insulting Arthur.
19:44 He's in town. He might hear you!
19:46 He can leave town, man. I don't want no bump with that.
19:48 Yeah, arthritis. You call him Arthur or arthritis?
19:51 Either or. Either or? So you know Arthur?
19:54 This guy knows Arthur.
19:55 Crampin' up. What do you mean by that?
19:56 It's all the time in your hands. You move your hands
19:59 it's all stiff. Oh no, that's just Arthur
20:01 getting some exercise. You know, Arthur's in town this week.
20:04 Oh he is? I can send him to your place.
20:06 Free samples? Free samples. You know, he can hook up your
20:09 joints and make you feel just great. You know, some people
20:11 don't like Arthur-ritis but he is my friend.
20:14 Sure guy. I'll introduce him to you Mark.
20:16 Here we go. Back to you.
20:18 Well as we can see people do love their sugar
20:21 and all the different things that are causing these
20:23 inflammatory arthritic situations. Yes.
20:27 And you know, but here's my question:
20:29 what can we tell people that will help them to
20:33 to realize that chronic pain and lifestyle diseases
20:38 it's not a normal way of life. It's not something
20:40 that you just say: "Oh that's MY... " claiming it
20:44 as MY diabetes or MY arthritis in this case.
20:48 You know, I'm thinking of a scripture, doc,
20:50 that is in Proverbs chapter 16 and verse 24.
20:54 Speaks of bones. It says: "Pleasant words are
20:57 as a honeycomb... sweet to the soul
21:00 and health to the bones. " Amen.
21:03 So God wants us to have healthy bones.
21:07 And you were going to tell us about some of the things that
21:10 were in the Garden of Eden and the diet that God had
21:12 for this design that He fashioned and formed
21:16 that is best. And when we don't use that
21:18 we have inflammation. Exactly. Talk to us about that.
21:22 As I mentioned earlier, we're designed to live in a garden
21:25 and our bodies are designed to partake of the garden.
21:28 We put a seed in the ground and it comes up as something
21:30 edible. Have you ever tried planting a chicken?
21:33 It does not come up. OK. Or a cow. OK.
21:38 So hamburgers... Well somebody would say that doesn't mean
21:41 you're not supposed to eat it. It's not from the garden.
21:43 So when we try to eat something apart from the garden
21:46 or processed from the garden like for example
21:50 white flour products. Pasta, white flour pasta as an example,
21:54 or white rice. White sugar? White sugar.
21:57 Pastries, cakes, pies.
22:00 All of these kinds of things. So if I'm someone who has
22:03 arthritis - um-hmm - and I'm calling it my "Uncle Arthur"
22:07 and I've got knee pain and joint pain in my elbow
22:10 and back and all this you're telling? What we're telling them
22:13 is that if you're eating white refined sugar...
22:16 Now there are some sweeteners that they can use,
22:17 but white refined sugar, white flour - um-hmm -
22:20 different meats... Yes! Yes?
22:23 Then I'm going to have an inflamed painful life.
22:26 Yes. Coffee! I call coffee nothing more than
22:31 liquid sandpaper to the joints.
22:35 Liquid sandpaper? Yes!
22:37 Same thing with bad fats.
22:40 Any fat that's been fried is now carcinogenic and inflammatory.
22:45 Fried foods carcinogenic? That means they can lead to cancer -
22:49 yes - and it is going to cause the bones, the joints to hurt.
22:54 Yes. Same with animal fats.
22:56 Like what kinds of animals are we talking about?
22:59 Anything that breathes.
23:01 Anything that had a mama or a face. You've got it!
23:03 If it's got 4 legs and fur, let it keep on walking
23:07 'cause it has an acid in it called arachidonic acid.
23:10 Arachidonic acid? It's a fatty acid
23:13 in the lean muscle mass, not the marble you cut away -
23:16 um-hmm - that causes inflammation.
23:18 So even if I get... You know a lot of times people say:
23:21 "Well get a leaner cut. Cut away that like white meat. "
23:25 Right. "Get the... " What is it? "the breast of the chicken. "
23:29 Right? White meat? So this is less fat
23:33 but you're saying that it's even in the muscle of the chicken.
23:38 Yes. Even in eggs. It's in eggs? Yes.
23:40 Even in dairy like cheeses and milk and yogurt and ice cream.
23:45 It's found in all of that also that triggers inflammation.
23:49 Another issue is all the artificial foods.
23:53 Artificial sweeteners; artificial flavors and colors and dyes.
23:58 They not only cause inflammation of joints
24:01 they cause inflammation of the brain.
24:03 MSG... another one of what are called free glutamates.
24:07 Yeah. It's a class of chemicals that causes brain inflammation
24:12 like nutritional yeast for example.
24:14 So these are things that are in peoples' diets...
24:17 All your oils - heavy oils - especially what are called
24:21 the industrial oils: corn, cotton seeds,
24:24 soy, canola... And especially when you're frying them.
24:28 I tell you: we could go on and on and on, but - yes -
24:32 I tell you we have... We have to do another program and
24:35 deal with some more of these issues because
24:37 this isn't enough time to really share all the things that people
24:41 are having to deal with with these lifestyle issues.
24:44 OK... so we have to wrap it up. You know, here's the point:
24:49 you want to make sure that as our good doctor has shared
24:54 with us, you need to be eating foods that come close
24:57 to the hand of God or have come from the hand of God
25:02 as we like to say. We're talking about your fresh fruits and
25:06 vegetables. We don't eat enough of those.
25:07 We need to do more of that. And how about water?
25:10 Drinking more water. You need fluid in the joints
25:13 to actually make sure that you are not having an inflamed
25:17 situation. So a lot of us are preferring to drink
25:19 sodas instead of drinking water.
25:23 So the things that God has provided: these are the things
25:26 that are going to actually keep us healthy.
25:29 Now until next time we'll see you again here on
25:32 From Sickness to Health.
25:34 Now, here is my admonition to you:
25:37 stay healthy!
25:43 It's good to know that we don't have to embrace illness
25:47 as some close companion.
25:49 Once we make healthier lifestyle changes
25:52 then we can truly embrace that Friend who sticks closer
25:57 than a brother... namely Jesus Christ, our Friend
26:00 and Savior. You know, Rico, this program has taught me
26:03 a lot about true friendship.
26:05 Whoa! That is excellent. Are you serious?
26:08 Yeah! That I have many friends like Arthur
26:10 and frenemies like you. You know, let's be honest:
26:12 people aren't going to make the necessary lifestyle changes
26:15 to get rid of Arthur. They treat Arthur like a friend.
26:18 They give him what he wants; they feed him what he wants.
26:21 Well I have to say that's kind of deep.
26:25 And think about if Arthur was a real person.
26:27 He'd have 60 million friends in America alone!
26:31 If he was on Facebook and Twitter and Foursquare
26:34 he'd be a popular guy. All right, OK, OK, I get your point.
26:37 But listen: Arthur-ritis is a lifestyle disease
26:42 that can be controlled and even reversed.
26:45 You know, as seekers of truth and people desiring to be
26:49 healthier we can do much better.
26:51 We don't have to have these lifestyle diseases.
26:53 Let's do what is practical and simple.
26:56 Let's heed the Word. That's our program for today.
26:59 I'm Rico Hill... and I'm your friend, the blue guy.
27:02 Friend? Fine... whatever. Frenemy.
27:06 And as always I like to end with III John 2:
27:09 "Beloved, I wish above all things
27:12 that thou mayest prosper and be in health. "
27:16 Maranatha!
