male announcer: The following program is sponsored by friends 00:00:02.669 --> 00:00:05.672 align:start line:85% position:44% size:78% of Life Outreach International. 00:00:06.573 --> 00:00:09.076 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Don Colbert: And we need to realize that this body is not 00:00:09.076 --> 00:00:10.410 align:start line:69% position:50% size:21% our own. 00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:11.979 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% We've given it to Jesus when you've accepted Jesus as your 00:00:11.979 --> 00:00:13.347 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% Lord and Savior. 00:00:13.347 --> 00:00:15.883 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so, it's important that your body is the temple of the 00:00:15.883 --> 00:00:17.217 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% Holy Spirit. 00:00:17.217 --> 00:00:18.619 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% So, we need to take care of this temple. 00:00:18.619 --> 00:00:21.355 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Most people are polluting their temple, and when we look at it 00:00:21.355 --> 00:00:25.425 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% this way, we can literally say no to the foods that invite 00:00:25.425 --> 00:00:26.793 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% disease in the body. 00:00:26.793 --> 00:00:28.128 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% The main food is sugar. 00:00:28.128 --> 00:00:29.796 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% That means lay the sugar on the altar. 00:00:29.796 --> 00:00:33.934 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% announcer: Dr. Don Colbert helps you live long and strong, next 00:00:33.934 --> 00:00:36.937 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% on "Life Today." 00:00:36.937 --> 00:00:46.947 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:00:46.947 --> 00:00:53.687 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:00:53.687 --> 00:00:55.355 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Randy Robison: Welcome to "Life Today," I'm Randy Robinson. 00:00:55.355 --> 00:00:58.025 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Blynda Lane is with me, and Blynda, we're getting healthier, 00:00:58.025 --> 00:01:00.394 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% at least learning how to get healthier, and I think 00:01:00.394 --> 00:01:01.728 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% that's good. 00:01:01.728 --> 00:01:03.096 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% Blynda Lane: It's baby steps. 00:01:03.096 --> 00:01:05.432 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% This is what I'm learning from our last show with Dr. Don 00:01:05.432 --> 00:01:10.137 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Colbert, is knowledge is great to have and maybe not changing 00:01:10.137 --> 00:01:13.340 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% everything in one day, but taking a few steps to make some 00:01:13.340 --> 00:01:16.743 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% changes, and the biggest change you can make is being faithful 00:01:16.743 --> 00:01:19.947 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% to go get these tests done at the doctor. 00:01:19.947 --> 00:01:23.383 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% That is what I'm learning, is you talked in the last program 00:01:23.383 --> 00:01:27.120 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% about these 12 markers and how it's so important that every 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.922 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% person get these tests done to know their markers. 00:01:28.922 --> 00:01:32.492 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And we went over a few like high blood sugar and high blood 00:01:32.492 --> 00:01:36.396 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% pressure and the obesity epidemic, but we're gonna talk 00:01:36.396 --> 00:01:37.731 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% about some more. 00:01:37.731 --> 00:01:39.099 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% We're gonna discuss a few more. 00:01:39.099 --> 00:01:40.867 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Randy: I think so, but hit--just so people may have missed the 00:01:40.867 --> 00:01:44.304 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% last program, what are these 12 things you're talking about that 00:01:44.304 --> 00:01:46.106 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% we can know and we should know? 00:01:46.106 --> 00:01:49.743 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Don: Well, these are 12 numbers that are generally from lab work 00:01:49.743 --> 00:01:52.679 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% that we do, and I do this lab work on my patients every six 00:01:52.679 --> 00:01:56.350 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% months and myself and my wife, and there's a fact that we know 00:01:56.350 --> 00:01:58.919 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% that numbers do not lie. 00:01:58.919 --> 00:02:03.557 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And when we check these numbers, these 12 key numbers actually 00:02:03.557 --> 00:02:08.495 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% are--reflect one's longevity and one's health status, and these 00:02:08.495 --> 00:02:11.231 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% numbers include a lot of silent killers like high 00:02:11.231 --> 00:02:12.566 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% blood pressure. 00:02:12.566 --> 00:02:15.235 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% The blood pressure is critical, the blood sugar, but not just 00:02:15.235 --> 00:02:18.105 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% blood sugar, but hemoglobin A1C that tells me what your sugar's 00:02:18.105 --> 00:02:20.173 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% been over the last three months. 00:02:20.173 --> 00:02:24.044 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Also, there's high cholesterol, high triglycerides, but not just 00:02:24.044 --> 00:02:27.147 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% cholesterol, the worst cholesterol is actually your 00:02:27.147 --> 00:02:30.951 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% oxidized cholesterol and your pattern B cholesterol, those are 00:02:30.951 --> 00:02:32.819 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% the ones that cause plaque. 00:02:32.819 --> 00:02:36.590 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% There's also, besides that, there's C-reactive protein, high 00:02:36.590 --> 00:02:39.526 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% sensitive C-reactive protein, homocysteine. 00:02:39.526 --> 00:02:41.028 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% There's--know your filters. 00:02:41.028 --> 00:02:44.164 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% We check the filters, the liver, we check the kidneys, the 00:02:44.164 --> 00:02:45.565 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% functions in both. 00:02:45.565 --> 00:02:49.169 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% We check testosterone levels in men, the PSA level, we check 00:02:49.169 --> 00:02:52.472 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% also the thyroid test, but especially the free T3, the most 00:02:52.472 --> 00:02:56.209 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% active form of thyroid, and finally the D3 level, those are 00:02:56.209 --> 00:02:59.813 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% your 12 key numbers that we need to know and we need to balance 00:02:59.813 --> 00:03:03.583 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% and bring them to normal to have divine health is the key. 00:03:03.583 --> 00:03:06.887 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Randy: Yeah, now, when I go get a blood test because my doctor 00:03:06.887 --> 00:03:08.989 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% will--you know, they'll take the blood and are they checking all 00:03:08.989 --> 00:03:11.224 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% those things or do I have to ask? 00:03:11.224 --> 00:03:12.592 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% Don: They will check a few. 00:03:12.592 --> 00:03:14.261 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% They would--most will check your lipid panel. 00:03:14.261 --> 00:03:17.631 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Most will check your filters, your liver and your kidneys. 00:03:17.631 --> 00:03:21.401 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% They'll check your TSH, but most will not check your free T3. 00:03:21.401 --> 00:03:24.704 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% Most do not check your 25OHD3 level. 00:03:24.704 --> 00:03:27.374 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Most do not check the homocysteine, nor do they check 00:03:27.374 --> 00:03:30.377 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% the HSCRP, which are critical because those are 00:03:30.377 --> 00:03:31.912 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% inflammatory markers. 00:03:31.912 --> 00:03:34.781 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% When those are high, you're inviting disease in your body, 00:03:34.781 --> 00:03:37.484 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% and your arteries, plaque in your arteries, Alzheimer's in 00:03:37.484 --> 00:03:40.654 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% your brain, and osteoporosis in your bones. 00:03:40.654 --> 00:03:42.989 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% So, we have to know those, and very few doctors ever 00:03:42.989 --> 00:03:44.357 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% check them. 00:03:44.357 --> 00:03:47.027 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Blynda: I had multiple times my TSH, if that's the right--if I'm 00:03:47.027 --> 00:03:50.931 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% saying that right, came back normal until I got the deeper 00:03:50.931 --> 00:03:54.000 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% panel and it came back that my thyroid was really not healthy. 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.503 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% Don: Exactly, we see that all the time, 00:03:56.503 --> 00:03:59.272 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% and I use small amounts of natural thyroid. 00:03:59.272 --> 00:04:01.241 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% You say "Why natural thyroid?" 00:04:01.241 --> 00:04:05.145 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Because the pig thyroid is the closest to the human's, 00:04:05.145 --> 00:04:09.583 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% and it has a 4 to 1 ratio of T4 to T3, 00:04:09.583 --> 00:04:15.722 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% but it also has the T1, T2, T3, T4, calcitonin, and iodine. 00:04:15.722 --> 00:04:20.127 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% It has all these cofactors in it and as we age, we get tired. 00:04:20.127 --> 00:04:23.330 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% The reason we get tired is because our thyroid gets low. 00:04:23.330 --> 00:04:26.666 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% It's like the heat going out of the--you know, the heat does not 00:04:26.666 --> 00:04:28.034 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% produce enough heat. 00:04:28.034 --> 00:04:30.570 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% We get--when we have low thyroid, our body gets cold. 00:04:30.570 --> 00:04:31.905 align:start line:69% position:50% size:31% We're tired. 00:04:31.905 --> 00:04:34.007 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% We need gloves and socks all the time, even to go to bed. 00:04:34.007 --> 00:04:35.442 align:start line:69% position:44% size:78% But we're tired during the day. 00:04:35.442 --> 00:04:38.311 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Our skin is dry, we're constipated, we gain weight, our 00:04:38.311 --> 00:04:41.047 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% hair gets thin, we lose the outer part of our eyebrow. 00:04:41.047 --> 00:04:44.417 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And so, we put them on a little thyroid, we bring that free T3 00:04:44.417 --> 00:04:48.855 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% up to about 3.0 to 3.5, and boom, their energy comes back, 00:04:48.855 --> 00:04:51.691 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% put on a little testosterone, the other hormone for men and 00:04:51.691 --> 00:04:54.895 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% women, real important, especially after 60, builds 00:04:54.895 --> 00:04:56.263 align:start line:69% position:48% size:33% strong bones. 00:04:56.263 --> 00:04:58.198 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% It prevents grumpy old man syndrome, irritable 00:04:58.198 --> 00:04:59.533 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% woman syndrome. 00:04:59.533 --> 00:05:02.269 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% It prevent--it helps to prevent belly fat. 00:05:02.269 --> 00:05:05.305 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% It prevents--you know, when men sit down after dinner in 00:05:05.305 --> 00:05:08.408 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% their La-Z-Boy, they fall asleep, that's low T. 00:05:08.408 --> 00:05:11.645 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% You know, they get low energy, low strength, 00:05:11.645 --> 00:05:14.147 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% low stamina, then the testosterone helps 00:05:14.147 --> 00:05:17.384 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% both men and women, real critical. 00:05:17.384 --> 00:05:20.320 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Blynda: You mentioned a few things earlier, and they were 00:05:20.320 --> 00:05:23.757 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% words I didn't even really understand. 00:05:23.757 --> 00:05:25.825 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% Don: Homocysteine or C-reactive protein? 00:05:25.825 --> 00:05:28.128 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Blynda: C-reactive protein, homocysteine, can you explain 00:05:28.128 --> 00:05:29.496 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% what those are? 00:05:29.496 --> 00:05:33.133 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Don: Sure, well, homocysteine is a toxic amino acid. 00:05:33.133 --> 00:05:37.904 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I check it on everyone because the range in the lab is 5 to 15, 00:05:37.904 --> 00:05:42.275 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% they say is normal, but we found anything over 10 is too high. 00:05:42.275 --> 00:05:45.779 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And we find that people--a lot of people that have Alzheimer's 00:05:45.779 --> 00:05:50.517 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% and memory loss, their homocysteine is above, you know, 00:05:50.517 --> 00:05:52.919 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% 10 and many times above 15. 00:05:52.919 --> 00:05:55.355 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% When it's above 15, that's red alert. 00:05:55.355 --> 00:05:58.792 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% That means your body, your brain is forming beta amyloid which 00:05:58.792 --> 00:06:00.227 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% progresses on to Alzheimer's. 00:06:00.227 --> 00:06:03.163 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% It also damages the arteries, creates plaque in the arteries, 00:06:03.163 --> 00:06:05.198 align:start line:69% position:50% size:65% and it destroys the bones. 00:06:05.198 --> 00:06:08.335 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Progressing one toward osteopenia and osteoporosis. 00:06:08.335 --> 00:06:11.471 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% So, what it does, it causes the brain to accumulate beta 00:06:11.471 --> 00:06:16.276 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% amyloid, which is plaque and just think of a, you know, a 00:06:16.276 --> 00:06:19.145 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% plum becoming a raisin, how it kind of shrinks. 00:06:19.145 --> 00:06:21.848 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Well, that's what it's doing when you have high homocysteine. 00:06:21.848 --> 00:06:24.050 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% Now, you know what raises homocysteine more than 00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.385 align:start line:69% position:50% size:35% anything else? 00:06:25.385 --> 00:06:28.822 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Excessive caffeine, if you drink three or more cups of coffee a 00:06:28.822 --> 00:06:32.192 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% day, you are producing more homocysteine. 00:06:32.192 --> 00:06:35.629 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% So those people I find, I find to get the homocysteine down, 00:06:35.629 --> 00:06:39.466 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% you've got to cut your caffeine down to three 8-ounce cups of 00:06:39.466 --> 00:06:42.702 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% coffee a day because most people will get, you know, 16, 24 00:06:42.702 --> 00:06:44.037 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% ounce cups. 00:06:44.037 --> 00:06:46.439 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so, they're signing up for higher homocysteine that's 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.608 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% destroying their brain, destroying their arteries and 00:06:48.608 --> 00:06:51.211 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% their bones, and raising their blood pressure. 00:06:51.211 --> 00:06:53.346 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% So, homocysteine is critical we get this down. 00:06:53.346 --> 00:06:56.683 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% We get it down with simple B vitamins. 00:06:56.683 --> 00:07:00.920 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Forty percent of people have a mutation in the MTHFR gene, so I 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.123 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% use the active forms of these B vitamins. 00:07:03.123 --> 00:07:04.491 align:start line:69% position:50% size:70% It's in our brains on basic. 00:07:04.491 --> 00:07:05.825

00:07:09.029 --> 00:07:10.363 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% it's easy to get down. 00:07:10.363 --> 00:07:13.133 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% It takes pennies a day to lower

position:50% size:81% reverse any damage that's been done or will it just stop it, or 00:07:20.206 --> 00:07:21.541 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% does it depend? 00:07:21.541 -->

position:48% size:48% point of no return. 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.931 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% If we get an amyloid PET scan and it shows excessive amyloid, 00:07:44.931 --> 00:07:46.399 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% then it's hard to reverse it. 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.003 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% We do have some new monoclonal antibodies

position:50% size:75% new that just came out last year, that helps to reverse it 00:07:55.809 --> 00:07:57.811 align:start line:69% position:50% size:75% if you catch it in time early. 00:07:57.811 --> 00:07:59.646 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% But again, many times if it's been there for a long time, 00:07:59.646 --> 00:08:01.181 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% you can't

00:22:04.323 align:start line:69% position:46% size:68% Randy: Well, and that's it. 00:22:04.323 --> 00:22:06.392 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And so we know some that are doctors, that are nurses, that 00:22:06.392 --> 00:22:10.396 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% are teachers, policemen, even lawyers, and then we see some 00:22:10.396 --> 00:22:13.666 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% who have come back and said, "I want to help the children the 00:22:13.666 --> 00:22:15.201 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% way that I was helped." 00:22:15.201 --> 00:22:16.569 align:start line:69% position:50% size:21% I just-- 00:22:16.569 --> 00:22:20.139 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Blynda: And you see Ermelinda helping a younger generation, 00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:21.473 align:start line:69% position:48% size:23% you know? 00:22:21.473 --> 00:22:22.841 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% It's so beautiful. 00:22:22.841 --> 00:22:26.045 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Randy: This is how we work to get people out of poverty, out 00:22:26.045 --> 00:22:27.846 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% of abject poverty. 00:22:27.846 --> 00:22:31.050 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% And it does take time, but it is working. 00:22:31.050 --> 00:22:34.320 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And that's what we want you to see in that particular piece. 00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:38.390 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% We want to see, yes, it's helping to give people a hope 00:22:38.390 --> 00:22:41.994 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% and a future, but also, it's still necessary. 00:22:41.994 --> 00:22:45.998 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% And in fact, in many of the areas where we're working, the 00:22:45.998 --> 00:22:48.934 align:start line:63% position:48% size:48% situation right now is very urgent. 00:22:48.934 --> 00:22:53.739 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% And so, Blynda, it's tough sometimes to see the great need, 00:22:53.739 --> 00:22:55.874 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% but I think there's hope in knowing that we can be 00:22:55.874 --> 00:22:57.209 align:start line:63% position:48% size:33% the solution. 00:22:57.209 --> 00:22:58.577 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Blynda: It is so much hope. 00:22:58.577 --> 00:23:03.115 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% When I think about Emilio saying he was 1 of 11, and the idea 00:23:03.115 --> 00:23:06.218 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% that there were so many chances that in his family there would 00:23:06.218 --> 00:23:10.022 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% be loss, and yet he got to stand--or sit there today and he 00:23:10.022 --> 00:23:14.627 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% got to say, "I am a case of I made it. 00:23:14.627 --> 00:23:19.131 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% And not only did I get the food I needed, but I am now giving 00:23:19.131 --> 00:23:22.401 align:start line:58% position:50% size:56% back, and I'm thriving and I'm educated." 00:23:22.401 --> 00:23:25.738 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% This is--it's such a success story, and what it should do in 00:23:25.738 --> 00:23:29.708 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% each of us is it should say, I really do know that every dollar 00:23:29.708 --> 00:23:32.177 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I give, that could be the story. 00:23:32.177 --> 00:23:33.545 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% That could be the story. 00:23:33.545 --> 00:23:34.880 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% Randy: Absolutely. 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.449 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% And so while we celebrate the success stories, I have a simple 00:23:37.449 --> 00:23:38.917 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% question for you. 00:23:38.917 --> 00:23:43.322 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% Will you step in and give another child that hope for 00:23:43.322 --> 00:23:47.159 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% success, that opportunity for education, by giving them that 00:23:47.159 --> 00:23:51.096 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% bowl of food that they desperately need today and 00:23:51.096 --> 00:23:54.667 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% tomorrow, and until they get to a position where their health is 00:23:54.667 --> 00:23:58.937 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% stable and they can focus not on where the next meal will come 00:23:58.937 --> 00:24:02.574 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% from, but focus on, what can I learn? 00:24:02.574 --> 00:24:07.880 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% How can I get to that point where I have a hope and a future 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.450 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% beyond the desperate need in front
