Fasting Page #5

---

you feel like you could,

ravenous like you could eat a horse, yeah.

- [Megan] What reading

did you get this morning?

- I got down to 6.4 in the morning.

- Nice!

So I started intermittent

fasting about five years ago.

Within six months I had

reversed my hemoglobin A1C

from 6.4% to 4.6%.

I was diagnosed with fatty

liver disease when I was 12.

In six months, no more

fatty liver infiltration.

Another thing that I was

diagnosed with when I was 14

was polycystic ovarian syndrome

and I would go to the

hospital all of the time

from cysts rupturing and

it just being so painful.

You couldn't bare it.

About six months into fasting,

everything sort of regulated

and when I saw another

specialist later on, my OB,

and we started talking about

it and she said, Megan,

when was the last time

you had a cyst rupture?

And I said I don't know.

I don't remember and I

said I know my periods

are regular now and so she

sent me for an ultrasound

and everything anatomically,

there was no sign of

polycystic ovarian syndrome,

none at all, which is pretty mind blowing,

my progesterone hormones

and all my fertility stuff

and it was fantastic.

It was so much better than

it was when I was a teenager

and my early 20's when

I had measured those.

So fertility for me is not

really gonna be an issue anymore

and I spent most of my life

thinking that I wouldn't

be able to have babies.

They actually saw me improve

so I think that's how we

got some initial success

in how our program

really started to snowball.

People just didn't want

to die from Diabetes.

- But I was walking with a

cane, I wasn't breathing well,

I was, I had put on 130

pounds with the insulin.

- The patients come back to

me with incredible stories.

- I was talking 210

units of insulin a day.

I did the 21 day fast and I

haven't had insulin since.

I've lost close to 100 pounds.

- So everyday I come in,

almost every single day,

I come in and I say, wow, Mr.

So And So or Mrs. So And So,

look, your numbers are such to the point

that you are not classified as diabetic.

That is amazing.

- It saved my life, is what it did.

- [Megan] You're off the Coversyl too

for your blood pressure.

So you're off of everything.

And around her waist she

has lost 27 centimeters.

- Sometimes people find

that when they fast,

that a lot of these cravings just stop.

- Energy is unbelievable.

As I said, I was walking with a cane.

- Gotta treat everybody as individuals

and that's what we do.

So we see all different regiments.

We use all different regiments.

- I stop eating at about

seven in the evening

and after that it will be

just liquids until dinner

the next day.

- Avocado, slice it up with

two eggs and I will eat that

maybe about 10 o'clock in the morning.

I do not eat again until maybe three,

four o'clock the next day.

That is almost (inaudible),

I don't even feel hungry.

- We can tailor it to people's needs.

If you need it for weight loss,

then I can give you something

that's gonna do weight loss

but you only wanna do it

for say overall wellbeing,

mental clarity, well, I'll

give you something different.

- Sometimes seven days.

It depends, okay?

When I feel that it's more comfortable,

then I will take longer one.

- And the key rule and

especially for the elderly is

if you don't feel well, stop, let us know,

let's re-evaluate.

- I have a dinner or lunch,

then you have to keep

36 or 24 hours fasting.

That's what I prefer.

- But the financial benefits

are actually just mind blowing

because think about it, you

have Type 2 Diabetes, obesity,

you've got all kinds of costs.

- I had a new consult a

couple weeks ago and he said,

"I watched my grandparents

follow the guidelines

"and I watched them die.

"I watched my parents

follow the guidelines

"and now I'm watching them

die and they're gonna be dead

"20 years before my

grandparents and look at me now.

"I'm Diabetic, I have fatty liver disease,

"my eyesight's going to hell,

I don't want this to be me.

"Clearly what they're doing

and the method of treatment

"that these physicians are having,

"had my grandparents follow

"and are having my parents

follow don't work."

- You've got your medications,

you've got surgeries,

you've got heart attacks,

very expensive, strokes,

hospitals.

You've got stuff, you need

to pay for nursing care,

you need to pay for nursing homes.

So an incredible amount

of cost all built in

to take care of these sick people.

- I watched my family

die from heart disease.

I watched my grandmother

die from Diabetes.

I watched my mother suffer from Diabetes

following the guidelines to a T.

It doesn't work.

Clearly something is broken

there and I think people more so

than a lot of physicians

understand that science

needs to evolve.

- Well, what if you could

get rid of all that for free?

For free.

Like that's just unbelievable.

Then you'd have money to fight poverty

and you'd have money for

education at the same time

that everybody's healthier

than they've ever been

and the crazy part is that

it doesn't require anything

but the right knowledge which

has the potential to save

like our entire nation's budget.

- Having that diagnosis

of borderline Diabetes

and being told by my

family doctor that 6.4%,

that was scary.

I've had cancer and the

diagnosis of Diabetes

being delivered to me

was so much scarier to me

than the cancer diagnosis

'cause at least with cancer

there's a shot.

With Diabetes, it's a death sentence

and it's a long, painful, slow,

progressive death sentence.

- People sometimes say the

three most influential people

in the history of the world -

Jesus Christ, the prophet

Mohammad, and Buddha -

probably only agreed on one thing

and that was the power of fasting.

(angelic choir)

- Fasting is an essential

part of our Christian faith.

Christ taught it by his own example.

He also commanded his disciples to fast.

When they were trying

to help other people out

and they weren't so successful, he said,

these problems are only

resolved by fasting and prayer.

- The scriptures teach us

that there are some things

you cannot do if you don't fast.

Miracles, some miracles,

cannot happen without fasting.

- Fasting is such a personal experience

for everyone who fasts and

when it's coupled with prayer,

it changes our life.

- I truly believe that fasting

can change people's heart.

- In the scriptures from ancient

times to the present day,

we read about those who fasted

and in the process of fasting,

they changed.

- I was living in Peru

and I made the decision

to go to my mission.

My father didn't want me to go.

It was for safety reasons.

The country had a lot

of terrorism problems.

So when I went to talk

to my sect president,

he counseled me to fast and to

pray and then to talk to him.

So I did, I fasted and I prayed,

and then I went to talk to my dad.

We cried together and he told me that,
