Speaker 1: with your creator. Here's your Heartwise host, doctor James Markham.
0:37
Speaker 2: We are glad everyone has joined us today for Heartwise,
0:40
Speaker 2: and you know, on Heartwise we talk a lot about
0:43
Speaker 2: how the food you eat or the nutrition you take
0:46
Speaker 2: in can both cause disease as well as prevent disease.
0:51
Speaker 2: So I want everyone out there to think the next
0:54
Speaker 2: time you eat a piece of food, is this piece
0:57
Speaker 2: of food helping me get better or could it be
0:59
Speaker 2: caused me to get worse. That's a great place to start.
1:03
Speaker 2: Our heart Wise nutritional expert, Doctor Charlene McCulloch is joining
1:07
Speaker 2: us today. Charlene, welcome the Heartwise.
1:10
Speaker 3: Thank you, Doctor Markham. It's great to be here again.
1:13
Speaker 2: We are glad that you've been helping everyone out there,
1:15
Speaker 2: and you've been doing this for years, helping everyone to
1:17
Speaker 2: realize that the food they eat not only can make
1:20
Speaker 2: them better, but it also can make them worse. Answering
1:23
Speaker 2: their questions to the things that many people don't even
1:26
Speaker 2: know about food. Did you find that a lot of
1:27
Speaker 2: people are confused about the issues as far as nutrition goes.
1:32
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, and we have to go back to
1:35
Speaker 3: the very same premise that we've heard for many years,
1:37
Speaker 3: centuries really that's been said, let your food be your medicine,
1:42
Speaker 3: and let medicine be food. The food be your medicine,
1:45
Speaker 3: so that that's what you take to heal your body.
1:49
Speaker 3: Because we're created in a way that we live on
1:52
Speaker 3: the food that God made for us. And if that
1:55
Speaker 3: is our food and then also our medicine when we
1:57
Speaker 3: are ill, then we're going to stay healthy for.
1:59
Speaker 2: A lot of time longer, well, said doctor McCall And
2:02
Speaker 2: we've had a lot of questions that come into our
2:04
Speaker 2: website at Heartwiseministries dot org, and we want to invite you,
2:09
Speaker 2: if you have an nutritionally related question, to send a
2:12
Speaker 2: question to our website and we'll get it over to
2:13
Speaker 2: doctor McCullough. And we've had a few questions come into
2:16
Speaker 2: our website, and let me start with one. And this
2:19
Speaker 2: person asked me, he says, I'm very confused about organic foods.
2:23
Speaker 2: On the website on commercials at the stores. I hear
2:26
Speaker 2: that organic foods are good, and then I hear that
2:29
Speaker 2: they're not good. Can you enlighten me on this subject?
2:33
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, that's a wonderful question, because there's so much
2:36
Speaker 3: controversy about that right now. In fact, the USDA has
2:40
Speaker 3: announced recently that they're putting fifteen out of thirty federally
2:44
Speaker 3: accredited organic certifiers on probation because they're finding that they're
2:50
Speaker 3: using the label organic when the foods are really not organic. Well,
2:54
Speaker 3: how can they not be? Because there are strict laws,
2:56
Speaker 3: in other words, to be organic. We know that foods
2:59
Speaker 3: have to be grown without pesticides, without chemical fertilizers. They
3:03
Speaker 3: have to be They cannot be genetically modified, and that's
3:06
Speaker 3: also a big subject right now. They cannot contain growth
3:10
Speaker 3: hormones or antibiotics or any other drugs or anything artificial,
3:14
Speaker 3: or any preservatives. And the animals, if that's part of
3:18
Speaker 3: what's in our organic food the animals have to be
3:21
Speaker 3: grown free with no hormones and no antibiotics and all
3:25
Speaker 3: of that. So why should that be a big deal?
3:27
Speaker 3: That sounds pretty good, But what we're finding in organic
3:31
Speaker 3: foods that even have our labels on them in the
3:34
Speaker 3: United States. Those foods are coming over partially either part
3:39
Speaker 3: of the food that's in an organic based thing or
3:42
Speaker 3: the whole food. They're coming from other countries, and unfortunately
3:46
Speaker 3: a lot of those foods are coming from China, and
3:49
Speaker 3: China is sending over foods or the portion of something
3:53
Speaker 3: that's going to be in a food that is not organic,
3:57
Speaker 3: and so it gets dumped into foods that we considered
4:00
Speaker 3: to be organic. But when those foods are analyzed, they're
4:04
Speaker 3: not completely organic by the rules that we just sat. Therefore,
4:08
Speaker 3: those companies are on probation. So we have to be
4:11
Speaker 3: careful about the foods that are coming from China. You
4:15
Speaker 3: know what, Doctor marka my way the other day to
4:17
Speaker 3: the store just to buy a can of the little oranges,
4:21
Speaker 3: the little mandarin oranges, and I could not find a
4:25
Speaker 3: single can of oranges in that store that did not
4:28
Speaker 3: come from China. We need to be really careful about
4:31
Speaker 3: things that come from China because they are not up
4:35
Speaker 3: to the standards of quality that we desire or that
4:39
Speaker 3: we even command by the USDA in America today. So
4:43
Speaker 3: when everything say organic, we have to really know that label,
4:47
Speaker 3: the label that we can depend on because there are
4:50
Speaker 3: several labels that say that they are organic. We have
4:52
Speaker 3: to depend on the one that's the round circle. It's
4:55
Speaker 3: white on the top with a green USDA in it
5:00
Speaker 3: on the bottom, and it says organic. And that's the
5:02
Speaker 3: only seal that we can really depend on that those
5:06
Speaker 3: foods have been tested and they are truly organic by
5:09
Speaker 3: the standards that I just laid out.
5:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's good. And tell us what are some
5:15
Speaker 2: types of foods that are important to get organic and
5:17
Speaker 2: which ones might sort of not be so important as
5:20
Speaker 2: far as our health goes.
5:21
Speaker 3: Now, that's yes, thank you. That's a really great question too,
5:24
Speaker 3: And there's a reason for this. For instance, I could
5:27
Speaker 3: list just quickly twelve foods here that you don't have
5:30
Speaker 3: to buy organic, because organic things always cost more. And
5:34
Speaker 3: so if we have a choice that we cannot spend
5:37
Speaker 3: that money on some things and be sure we're spending
5:41
Speaker 3: our money on things that it's very important to have organic, well,
5:44
Speaker 3: then we could understand that better from this list. Now,
5:47
Speaker 3: this is a list of things that are safe to
5:49
Speaker 3: buy conventionally grown, because these particular foods do not have
5:55
Speaker 3: to have a lot of pesticides and preservative things to
6:01
Speaker 3: make sure that they're safe for consumption. And the list
6:04
Speaker 3: starts with broccoli. See, broccoli is one thing that you
6:06
Speaker 3: don't have to buy organic conventionally grown. They're excellent to
6:11
Speaker 3: eat and they're very safe for you and very clean.
6:13
Speaker 3: So broccoli, eggplants, cabbage, bananas, keywee, fruit, asparagus, frozen sweet peas, pineapple, avocados,
6:26
Speaker 3: and onions. Those things do not have to be organic
6:30
Speaker 3: to be safe, good, wholesome, clean foods for us. Now,
6:35
Speaker 3: the things that we do need to buy organic or
6:38
Speaker 3: the should be. And the two main ones here, doctor Markham,
6:42
Speaker 3: are apples and strawberries. Now, it's because of the way
6:47
Speaker 3: they have to have so many preservatives and pesticides and
6:50
Speaker 3: things put on them to make them grow so they
6:52
Speaker 3: get the stage that they're still ripe and not rotten
6:57
Speaker 3: whenever we eat them. The two main ones strawberries, we
7:00
Speaker 3: can understand. Apples. A lot of people have questions about that.
7:04
Speaker 3: They say, oh, my goodness, apples, you scrub them good,
7:06
Speaker 3: and what difference does it make? But the difference is
7:09
Speaker 3: that those the apple trees have to be sprayed when
7:12
Speaker 3: the apple is in its blossom. If not, the insects
7:16
Speaker 3: gets there, then they never produce an apple. So the
7:19
Speaker 3: pesticides that are sprayed onto the apples are sprayed starting
7:23
Speaker 3: with their bloom all the way out till they are ripe,
7:26
Speaker 3: and you can't get rid of the pesticides are inside
7:29
Speaker 3: the apples. So it's very important if you can. Now
7:32
Speaker 3: I'm not saying if you can't eat organic apples, don't
7:35
Speaker 3: eat any at all. But if you can buy organic
7:37
Speaker 3: apples and strawberries would be the two best ones, and
7:40
Speaker 3: then the other ones would be peaches, zelery, cherries, lettuce,
7:48
Speaker 3: grapes that are imported, and a lot of them are,
7:51
Speaker 3: especially in the winter when they don't grow here. You
7:53
Speaker 3: get imported grapes. Make sure if you can, that you
7:56
Speaker 3: get those organic pears, spinach, and potatoes. Oh, potatoes that
8:02
Speaker 3: if we can, we need to buy those organic.
8:04
Speaker 2: Wow, that's great information. Now I had a question. You know,
8:08
Speaker 2: you know all these fruits when you go to the
8:09
Speaker 2: produce sections, some of the fruits and vegetables, they look
8:11
Speaker 2: so shiny. You know, do you think they put chemicals
8:15
Speaker 2: on those to make them look so good? And is
8:17
Speaker 2: there any danger of that in our bodies?
8:19
Speaker 3: Well, actually, that's the kind of wax that to make
8:23
Speaker 3: them shiny, and sometimes it's to preserve them so that
8:27
Speaker 3: you know they're shipped. Like we get a lot of
8:29
Speaker 3: our apples here in the United States from Washington area,
8:33
Speaker 3: and they come a long way and it takes a
8:34
Speaker 3: while to get here. But really, I don't think that
8:37
Speaker 3: God created our bodies with a deficiency of wax. Yes, right,
8:41
Speaker 3: I don't think we need that wax. So you're exactly
8:44
Speaker 3: right to target that because we need to wash our
8:47
Speaker 3: vegetables now if we use a really good vegetable wash,
8:50
Speaker 3: and one that comes to mind is veggie wash. It's
8:52
Speaker 3: available in every grocery store, and you just soak your
8:56
Speaker 3: vegetables and your fruits, and especially the ones that have
8:59
Speaker 3: the wax on them, soak them even for just five minutes,
9:03
Speaker 3: and then rent them really good. You'll get all that
9:06
Speaker 3: wax off, as well as any pesticides that might be
9:08
Speaker 3: on the outside of the foods. So like I mentioned,
9:11
Speaker 3: especially spinach and lettuce and some of those that should
9:15
Speaker 3: be organic. If ever we cannot buy those organic, well,
9:18
Speaker 3: then go ahead and just make sure you're using a
9:20
Speaker 3: really good vegetable wash, soaking those vegetables about five minutes,
9:24
Speaker 3: especially the leafy ones. You know, we need kale, and
9:26
Speaker 3: we need all of these green leafy vegetables, but there
9:29
Speaker 3: are a lot of little areas in there that pesticides
9:32
Speaker 3: can get into, even while they're growing or even after
9:34
Speaker 3: they're harvested. So we want to be sure we wash
9:37
Speaker 3: those goods. So you wash them soaking five minutes and
9:39
Speaker 3: a good dastable wash rent some really good. Let them
9:43
Speaker 3: dry well before you put them in the refrigerator. Ratherwise
9:45
Speaker 3: the water will start to rot them a little bit
9:48
Speaker 3: too soon. So you drive them real good on paper towels,
9:51
Speaker 3: put them in your refrigerator into plastic bags, and they'll
9:54
Speaker 3: stay fresh for so long. Once you've done that wash,
9:57
Speaker 3: and you get the wax off, and you also get
9:59
Speaker 3: all the little insects that might be left, and the
10:03
Speaker 3: pesticides off as well.
10:05
Speaker 2: Wow, well that is some excellent practical situation. We're about
10:09
Speaker 2: ready to go to break now, but you actually are
10:12
Speaker 2: what you eat. No one wants to be a bunch
10:14
Speaker 2: of pesticides if you don't have to be. And after break,
10:18
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask doctor Charlene a question about GMOs.
10:21
Speaker 2: Everyone's interested in that, so stay with us on heartwise.
10:25
Speaker 2: We're going to be back after this short break.
10:43
Speaker 1: In his book The Ultimate Prescription, now available from Tendale
10:47
Speaker 1: House Publishers, Cardiologists, doctor James Markham writes, I was reading
10:52
Speaker 1: a recent poll of men who were asked who they
10:54
Speaker 1: thought was the most influential male in the world today.
10:57
Speaker 1: Number one on the list was Don Draper, character on
11:00
Speaker 1: a television series He's not even a real person. Number
11:04
Speaker 1: two was Usain Bolton, Olympic athlete who many believe defines
11:07
Speaker 1: the true spirit of competition, and President Barack Obama slipped
11:10
Speaker 1: in his number three. This is just another example of
11:13
Speaker 1: how the media has the power to create an influential character,
11:17
Speaker 1: market him as an ideal to the world, and affect
11:20
Speaker 1: the minds of a large segment of the population. That
11:23
Speaker 1: same media is doing the same thing when it comes
11:26
Speaker 1: to telling us how to build and maintain optimum health.
11:30
Speaker 1: Doctor Markham's book The Ultimate Prescription is available from Amazon
11:34
Speaker 1: dot com and wherever quality books are sold. To learn
11:37

11:43
Speaker 1: I'd like to take a moment to invite you to
11:45
Speaker 1: visit the Heartwise Ministries team on the internet. Stop by
11:48
Speaker 1: Heartwisemanistries dot org and discover for yourself that optimum health
11:52

Speaker 1: combination of pharmaceuticals. No, optimum health is the result of
11:59
Speaker 1: making the right choices each and every moment of each
12:02
Speaker 1: and every day. If you're like me, you're probably a
12:05
Speaker 1: little confused about what the media and marketing moguls are
12:07
Speaker 1: feeding us. There are a lot of potions, pills and
12:10
Speaker 1: promises out there. Some work, some don't, and some are
12:13
Speaker 1: downright dangerous. Whom do you believe? Whom do you trust?
12:17
Speaker 1: Board certified cardiologist doctor James Markham, a founder director of
12:20
Speaker 1: Heartwise Ministries, says, there is a source of information that
12:24
Speaker 1: can be trusted and followed. That's the Bible, God's Owner's
12:28
Speaker 1: Manual as he calls it. For us, all the information
12:31
Speaker 1: you find on Heartwiseministries dot org is information backed by
12:35
Speaker 1: biblical truth. It can be trusted because God can be trusted.
12:39
Speaker 1: So stop by, won't you? That's Heartwiseministries dot org.
12:52
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Heartwise. I'm doctor James Markham. I'm talking
12:55
Speaker 2: to with our Heartwise nutritional expert, doctor Charlene mccullus, answering
13:00
Speaker 2: questions that have come into our website, heartweiresministries dot org
13:04
Speaker 2: g and doctor McCullough. The next question asked person is
13:08
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what a GMO is. Can you explain
13:11
Speaker 2: what this is and why it might be important to
13:14
Speaker 2: my health?
13:16
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, and that is so in the news right now,
13:19
Speaker 3: especially since there's a promotion in California to make sure
13:24
Speaker 3: that the companies that do these genetically modified foods that's
13:28
Speaker 3: what the GMO is, They have been genetically modified, and
13:32
Speaker 3: that that needs to be on the label of our
13:36
Speaker 3: foods and it is not on the label. I know
13:38
Speaker 3: corn is one thing right now that is being genetically
13:42
Speaker 3: modified that we're not being told about. So what does
13:45
Speaker 3: that mean? What difference does it make?
13:47
Speaker 2: Why would they do that modified?
13:49
Speaker 3: Well, because see there are things in those foods that
13:52
Speaker 3: are not good for us. And the companies, you know,
13:55
Speaker 3: it's the big industry, the multi billion dollar companies that
13:58
Speaker 3: are making these foods. They're fighting really hard to keep
14:02
Speaker 3: the list of modification they do to our foods, to
14:06
Speaker 3: keep that off the label. You know, a long time ago,
14:09
Speaker 3: we didn't even have to label foods. Auto can of
14:11
Speaker 3: something and you didn't know what was in it, And
14:13
Speaker 3: then the industry had by law was required then to
14:18
Speaker 3: start listing the ingredients that were in that food. And
14:21
Speaker 3: we're glad we have that. One thing I've always said
14:23
Speaker 3: is read your labels, know what's in your food. And
14:27
Speaker 3: now we're getting a group of foods that are coming
14:29
Speaker 3: out that are not labeled properly, and they're the genetically
14:32
Speaker 3: modified foods, and they're not good for our bodies that
14:37
Speaker 3: they've been modified or transformed in such a way that
14:42
Speaker 3: our bodies do not even recognize the chemicals that are
14:45
Speaker 3: in those as food, and they turn into toxins in
14:48
Speaker 3: our bodies, and then our liver has to get rid
14:51
Speaker 3: of the toxins, and then we have the defective liver
14:55
Speaker 3: that can keep up with all the junk we're putting in. Exactly.
15:01
Speaker 3: And there are two reasons why the industry, the multi
15:04
Speaker 3: billion dollar companies I could name somebody I will not,
15:07
Speaker 3: but there are several reasons why they do this. And
15:09
Speaker 3: a lot of times, and listen to me, listeners, listen carefully.
15:13
Speaker 3: A lot of times they're trying to give us what
15:15
Speaker 3: we want. Now, the women in the kitchen, what do
15:18
Speaker 3: we say we want? We want foods that last a
15:20
Speaker 3: long time, that don't spoil easily, that taste good, that
15:25
Speaker 3: are easy to fix, quick and easy to fix. And
15:30
Speaker 3: my slogan here doctor Markham is don't eat anything that
15:33
Speaker 3: won't spoil, just eat it before it spoils. Whenever we
15:38
Speaker 3: have food in our pantry that stays a long time
15:40
Speaker 3: without spoiling, it has been modified to the point that
15:44
Speaker 3: a lot of the nutrition that would spoil it has
15:48
Speaker 3: been taken out. Other genetically produced nutrition has been put
15:52
Speaker 3: in so that it does it can still on the
15:55
Speaker 3: show for a long time and not spoil, but it
15:57
Speaker 3: reachs havoc in our bodies. When we talk about the
16:00
Speaker 3: process of metabolism, digestion, utilization, what's absorbed, what's not absorbed
16:06
Speaker 3: in our foods. And one thing I could mention that
16:08
Speaker 3: you can really understand about this is what we went
16:11
Speaker 3: through with trans fat. Now, when trans fats were first invented,
16:16
Speaker 3: if I can use that word, because they're not normal,
16:19
Speaker 3: it was a fat that tastes good that we can
16:22
Speaker 3: eat and have the joy of tasting it, because fat
16:25
Speaker 3: really does taste good. We all like fat, and we
16:28
Speaker 3: need fat, but we need the right kind. But if
16:31
Speaker 3: we absorb too much fat, we know what it does
16:33
Speaker 3: to our heart. To our liver to our vessels and
16:36
Speaker 3: clogs up everything. And one of the major causes for
16:39
Speaker 3: many years of heart disease the wrong kind of fat.
16:42
Speaker 3: So this modified fat called transpats. They reversed, transferred or
16:47
Speaker 3: reversed some of the process of making that fat so
16:50
Speaker 3: that your body cannot absorb it. So did not that
16:54
Speaker 3: sound like a wonderful thing. You can eat fat, you
16:56
Speaker 3: can taste it, It can be wonderful, make your food
16:58
Speaker 3: taste wonderful, but your body can't absorb it. So it's
17:01
Speaker 3: not going to get in your bloodstream to go to
17:03
Speaker 3: your heart and liver and do all the bad things.
17:05
Speaker 3: What they didn't realize, and it wasn't until years later
17:07
Speaker 3: that we found out that that modification reaps havoc with
17:12
Speaker 3: other systems of your body. Not just what they were
17:16
Speaker 3: looking at don't absorb it. It reaps havoc with other
17:19
Speaker 3: systems of your body, to the point that now the
17:22
Speaker 3: USDA has required that not be taken out of foods,
17:25
Speaker 3: and so many foods that we buy now you'll see
17:28
Speaker 3: right on the front of the package, no trans fats
17:32
Speaker 3: or no trans fatty acids, because now we know not
17:36
Speaker 3: to buy those suits where we're getting to that place
17:38
Speaker 3: with these gel mosess the ones that are genetically modified
17:42
Speaker 3: so that they last longer. There have been things put
17:46
Speaker 3: in there so that the bugs can't get in, but
17:48
Speaker 3: it's the wrong kinds of chemicals. So these are the
17:51
Speaker 3: things that we really need to avoid anytime you find
17:54
Speaker 3: out that a food has been genetically modified, just to
17:58
Speaker 3: avoid it like the plague. But see we go back
18:01
Speaker 3: to the to the law of them having to put
18:03
Speaker 3: on the food labels what's in there, because I know
18:06
Speaker 3: corn especially, that's what's being fought in California. Corn is
18:09
Speaker 3: one of the things that now has been genetically modified
18:12
Speaker 3: and we don't know it. We don't know if we're
18:14
Speaker 3: buying corn that has been or hasn't been, because there's
18:17
Speaker 3: no truth in labeling for genetically modified foodshed. So that's
18:21
Speaker 3: what's being fought now in the courts, especially in California,
18:25
Speaker 3: to make that a law that we know when those
18:27
Speaker 3: when the genetically modified or the GMO foods are in
18:31
Speaker 3: the food that we're buying, because it has to be
18:33
Speaker 3: on the label. So it's really important. What a great
18:36
Speaker 3: timely question that was, because it's really important that we
18:40
Speaker 3: know that. And so if you have any buying California.
18:43
Speaker 3: It's going to be voting on that. Be sure you
18:45
Speaker 3: call them and say, hey, vote for having to put
18:48
Speaker 3: these on the label so that we'll all know what
18:50
Speaker 3: kind of things are in our foods that we are buying.
18:53
Speaker 2: You know, you know that's so applicable years ago. You
18:57
Speaker 2: know cigarettes, You know, they used to use cigarettes as
18:59
Speaker 2: a treatment for asthma in the thirties. They didn't know
19:02
Speaker 2: all the bad chemicals that were on cigarettes. And it
19:05
Speaker 2: sounds like this GMO might be sort of the same thing.
19:08
Speaker 2: We don't really know what havoc all this genetic manipulation
19:11
Speaker 2: might do to us twenty years down the road.
19:14
Speaker 3: That's right, And that's why you know, it's not testing enough,
19:17
Speaker 3: and that's why sometimes it takes years to find out.
19:21
Speaker 3: But for those precious people who don't survive to find
19:25
Speaker 3: out and never knew why it was, it was life threatening. Well,
19:30
Speaker 3: you're exactly right. It's really important that we not put
19:34
Speaker 3: foods on the market that have not been tested over
19:36
Speaker 3: a long period of time. And you know what, if
19:38
Speaker 3: you just go by Genesis one eleven and Genesis one
19:42
Speaker 3: twenty nine, when God created our foods, he gave us
19:45
Speaker 3: fruits vegetables, whole grains. He gave us the foods that
19:49
Speaker 3: would sustain our life. In fact, you know God created food.
19:53
Speaker 3: You go through those first few chapters of Genesis and
19:56
Speaker 3: you find that God gave us our food before he
19:59
Speaker 3: ever created us us, so he gave us perfect food.
20:02
Speaker 3: Now I'm not saying that all of us can grow
20:04
Speaker 3: our own food and never have a pesticide or a
20:08
Speaker 3: bug fly over and drop anything on our food. We
20:10
Speaker 3: don't live in the perfect world that God created in Genesis.
20:14
Speaker 3: But if we can live as close to that, use
20:17
Speaker 3: our food as close to the way God created it
20:20
Speaker 3: without it being altered in any way, we're going to
20:23
Speaker 3: be healthier for a longer period of time. We don't
20:25
Speaker 3: have to worry what's in it. He put everything in
20:27
Speaker 3: there we need. He put the vitamins, the minerals, all
20:31
Speaker 3: the nutrients in there that we need. And our goal
20:34
Speaker 3: in my family we try to eat at least seventy
20:37
Speaker 3: five percent raw. Now we don't always do that. People say,
20:40
Speaker 3: how do you eat out? Well, we go to restaurants
20:42
Speaker 3: that have really amazing salad bars, and that salad bar
20:46
Speaker 3: will be three fourths of what we eat, and then
20:48
Speaker 3: we'll eat a small portion of the meat or of
20:50
Speaker 3: the cooked foods. And you may not get there the
20:53
Speaker 3: first day that you try this, but if you start thinking,
20:56
Speaker 3: let me use foods or eat foods in as near
21:00
Speaker 3: the way they were created without altering them so much,
21:05
Speaker 3: then we're going to be healthier and start on a
21:08
Speaker 3: journey to let that be a goal. Get to twenty
21:10
Speaker 3: five percent raw or ten percent raw, and just start
21:14
Speaker 3: from there, and you'll find that if you nourish your
21:17
Speaker 3: body the way God intended you to, you will start
21:19
Speaker 3: to crave the foods he created instead of craving candy
21:23
Speaker 3: and junk food and those things that we're trying to
21:26
Speaker 3: nourish our bodies on, particularly in America today. So that's
21:31
Speaker 3: a real good rule.
21:32
Speaker 2: To follow, you know, doctor mccaullaugh, I frequently wonder, you know,
21:35
Speaker 2: when a person comes in not feeling well with either
21:38
Speaker 2: a GI complaint or just they just don't feel good inside,
21:42
Speaker 2: and you know, we do a battery test and we
21:44
Speaker 2: can't find anything anything possible that it could be. You
21:48
Speaker 2: just wonder whether it might be something that a person's
21:50
Speaker 2: eating that might have you know, maybe it's a GMO
21:54
Speaker 2: type issue or a pesticide or something that's stimulating their
21:57
Speaker 2: immune system to attack or their body. Always wonder when
22:00
Speaker 2: you can't find anything, well, maybe it's something a person's.
22:03
Speaker 3: Eating that's exactly right. And another thing. We could do
22:06
Speaker 3: a whole program on this too. What I have found
22:08
Speaker 3: out over the many years that I've been studying this
22:11
Speaker 3: and teaching it, that a lot of times. And Anne
22:14
Speaker 3: Louise Gigelmann, who's the parasitologist extraordinaire who studied and written
22:19
Speaker 3: all of this for years, She says, and I totally
22:21
Speaker 3: agree that whenever doctors cannot find anything wrong with you,
22:25
Speaker 3: they need to look for parasites. She says that seventy
22:29
Speaker 3: five percent of Americans have some form of parasites in
22:34
Speaker 3: their bodies. And we get parasites from the food we
22:39
Speaker 3: eat and the junk we eat, the food that's not
22:41
Speaker 3: cleaned or that has the wrong chemicals in it that
22:44
Speaker 3: stimulate this or whatever. And these are living organisms that
22:48
Speaker 3: live off of our bodies. One book she wrote was
22:51
Speaker 3: It's what You're eating You not a very not a
22:55
Speaker 3: yuck it's yuck yuck. It's not a very pleasant subject.
22:58
Speaker 3: But when you consider generally we have some form of
23:03
Speaker 3: parasite in our body, that if we don't have a
23:05
Speaker 3: strong immune system to get rid of those parasites, that
23:09
Speaker 3: they can be affecting and our health in a way
23:13
Speaker 3: that you can even find out from those normal tests
23:15
Speaker 3: that we do when we do the medical testing. But
23:19
Speaker 3: toxins don't show up in medical testing. An overload of
23:23
Speaker 3: chemicals in your bodies don't show up show up in
23:26
Speaker 3: those kinds of tests, and neither do parasites if they're
23:29
Speaker 3: in your body. And I know sometime we do the
23:31
Speaker 3: occult test and you see, well you don't have parasites.
23:34
Speaker 3: What about if they're in your liver or any other
23:36
Speaker 3: organ in your body, they don't show up there, we'll
23:38
Speaker 3: call it.
23:38
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we're all out of time, and if you want
23:41
Speaker 2: to get yeah, we are. If you want to get
23:43
Speaker 2: a hold of doctor, we'll call it. Go to our website,
