why why did you come out tonight on a
Tuesday night that’s raining like this
in terrible weather did you come out to
listen to ten of us talk about things
that we’re passionate about what I
assert is that you came to learn
something and it’s human nature to want
to learn something about ourselves so
I’d invite you to sit back I’m gonna
give you some information that’s going
to change your life it’s going to change
the lives of the people that you love
and it’s probably going to keep some
more money in your pocket so we’re gonna
get down to this medicine is in a state
of crisis we all know that look at our
rising premiums look at our rising
out-of-pocket expenses look at what our
coverage is doing now there’s a saying
that many of us heard Humpty Dumpty sat
on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
all the king’s horses and all the king’s
men couldn’t put Humpty back together
again
if Humpty Dumpty is our health care
system the king’s horses and the king’s
men are the government programs
insurance companies pharmaceutical
companies do we want them putting back
our health care system
Einstein said you can’t fix a problem
with the same thinking that created the
problem now we’re going to talk a little
bit about what happens in our health
care system and I told you I’m going to
give you I’m gonna give you some
information health was defined by the
World Health Organization in 1946 as a
state of physical mental and social
well-being not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity this was 70 years
ago we’re not here yet now the World
Health Organization also keeps track of
how much it costs for health care in
this country we are spending about eight
thousand dollars
for every man woman and child that lives
in the United States that’s 330 million
people
the next closest country is Switzerland
and they’re spending less than five
now Switzerland and overall health is
rated in the top five the United States
were rated at 37th we look at the state
legislative on health care in December
of this last year and they said we spend
twice as much money as any other country
on health care we have the highest
obesity rates the highest cancer rates
the highest infant mortality rates the
highest chronic disease rates and the
shortest lifespan why that’s not a good
return on our investment most of us
wouldn’t invest in that but I want to
talk a little bit about what happens in
our health care system the first
physician that we recognize is
Hippocrates he was the father of
medicine he was the first physician that
said disease is not the result of design
intervention it’s not the results of sin
and so his students when they studied
there were diagnosticians and then there
were holistic practitioners and the
treatment for everything that they saw
proper nutrition proper rest and good
hygiene
now the Latin word for doctor is to
teach now William Osler is a founder of
John Hopkins University and one of the
things that he did was he took students
out of the morgues studying people that
had deceased about their disease and he
took them into the hospital wards and he
began to study live people with disease
our current medical system does the same
thing we study disease we study people
that are sick
we study how to get them past their
sickness we’re not trained we don’t
study healthy people or healthy
lifestyles or how to get people healthy
once they’ve had a disease or get out of
the hospital you have disease and then
you’re on your own to get healthy now
one of the things that he said is the
role of the physician is to educate the
masses not prescribe medicine he saw us
as teachers the Mayo brothers William
Mayo said the aim of Madison was to
prolong life prevent illness and promote
health the aim being the physician would
become obsolete now people ask me all
the time
why do physicians not practice that way
now why did they not educate why are
they not focused on health there’s a
physician is Amos mo vice in the 1850s
he had some radical ideas in medicine at
that time he thought that physicians
should wash their hands before they saw
patients before they did surgery before
they deliver babies to reduce infection
it was such a radical thinking that he
was outcast from medicine they committed
him to an insane asylum and he was
killed there this still happens today in
the last three years there have been
nearly a hundred physicians with radical
ideas about medicine that have either
disappeared or died under mysterious
circumstances why now I said that I was
going to teach you how to bring out the
physician inside of you how to put more
money in your pocket what do physicians
do really well as a physician we plan
when you’re sick we plan we develop
treatment plans we develop care plans
but you plan if you built a house you
have a house plan if you built a
business you have a business plan if
you’re planning for retirement
a tyrant plan you plan your vacations we
all know how to plan but what is a plan
it is simply a road map to get us from
where we are to someplace that we want
to be that plan is only as good as the
commitment to take actions on that plan
where most of us fail to plan as we fail
to plan to be healthy and if we fail to
plan to be healthy by default we plan to
be unhealthy now I’m going to talk about
some structures that can be part of your
plan so as we talk in the next few
minutes I want you to think about what
can be a plan do I want to continue like
I am now and get the same state of
health that I have now or do I want
something more so we’re gonna talk about
nutrition and everything that we need to
know to be healthy we learned in grade
school what do they teach us about
nutrition he breakfast our parents had
us try to eat breakfast we also were eat
our fruits and vegetables we also talked
about drinking water drink plenty of
water in fact taking our weight dividing
it in half drink that many ounces of
water if you’re going to sit around and
watch TV if you’re going to do more than
watch TV you need to increase that
amount of water and it’s not coffee it’s
not soda it’s water because our body is
a moving column of water everything
that’s live depends on the moving column
of water if you put bad flu it in you’re
gonna get bad results out in Japan they
have sumo wrestlers
do you know how they make assume a
wrestler that big they get up in the
morning and they work they eat their
first meal at 11 o’clock it’s a large
protein meal with lots of carbs in the
afternoon they take a nap they don’t do
anything they eat their next meal about
6 or 7 o’clock at night in the evening
what do they do nothing what was your
day like yesterday most of us are eating
that type of way where we one or two
meals a day we eat large protein and
large carbs no wonder we have a problem
with weight in this country now there
are other things that we’re doing we’re
paying attention to foods that we think
are healthy some of them are and some of
them may not be some of them may be
destroying the bacteria in our GI tract
that keeps us healthy when that happens
we have problems with obesity there
problems with autoimmune disorders high
blood pressure chronic disease
cholesterol problems diabetes all the
chronic diseases may actually be related
to the foods that we put in our mouths
but in grade school we also learned
about play what do we learn about play
what’s the kids on a playground it’s
social play is social it’s out there
with other people and it’s physical it’s
physical activity in a social
environment in fact it’s physical
activity with no intended outcome and
it’s participation but play is
participation so if we want to learn how
to play watch the kids on a playground
but when was the last time that we
played when was the last time that we
had physical activity with no intended
outcome we go to the gym we workout
because we’re running away from disease
and being sick we’re running away from
something that makes us a victim but if
I’m running towards health I’m empowered
to do something to get me something that
I want
and no longer feels like a chore to go
to the gym it’s giving me something that
I want next we talk about rest and sleep
you remember as a kid how many what time
do people go to bed when you were in
grade school and we thought our parents
we’re trying to keep us from doing for
learning about something that they had
secret that they did as adults we tried
to stay up all night we tried to stay up
with them it was I need a drink I need
food I need something so we could stay
up well guess what we won the battle
with our parents we get a stay up as
late as we want now and what’s that
costing us the next day we’re tired it’s
costing us our vitality for those of you
that are college students what’s it like
to stay up for 24 hours to cram for a
test how do you feel the next day when
you’re taking that test I don’t perform
quite as well in fact our body is in a
catabolic State most the time that we’re
awake so if you want to lose weight
exercise in the morning when it’s in a
catabolic state and then in the
afternoon if you want to gain weight
after 3 o’clock eat large food amount of
food and don’t do anything you’ll gain
weight ok so sleep long it takes about 7
to 8 hours for us to regenerate during
sleep and that’s sleep before 3 a.m.
next we could talk about stress we are a
stress factory we stress and worry about
everything I know I heard it we stress
about money we trace that chase that
green piece of paper all over town how
much do we keep how much do we give away
we stress about our relationships we
stress about asking somebody for a date
and we stress when they give us a date
what we’re gonna do but we stress about
everything and stress is causing us all
kinds of medical promise but we worry
about things that happened yesterday
what can I do about that nothing we
worry about things that are gonna happen
tomorrow what can I do about that
nothing
did you know that worry is like praying
for something bad to happen to us we
want it bad let’s worry about it so
there are several things that we can do
about that one when we’re stressed how
can we actually clear our minds and one
of those is what can I be grateful for
am i grateful for the people that I have
in my life am i grateful that I have the
things that I have am i grateful for the
son am i grateful for the person that
causes me stressed that at least there’s
enough emotion that it caused any stress
what can I be grateful for and finally
it’s our relationships our relationships
are important to us because illness
starts with an i our illnesses happens
inside of our isolation we know that one
of the most detrimental things to people
as they get older is their isolation for
those older population that’s what’s
leading to their disease and illness
wellness starts with a we our Wellness
happens inside of our communities and
our relationships however the most
difficult relationship that we
oftentimes have is a relationship with
ourselves
what’s the self-talk do you love me
am I good enough did I do that right is
there a scarcity of love in this world
it’s a free gift that we can simply give
and we can simply receive it doesn’t
cost us anything can we turn to the
person on our right and the person on
our left can we love them simply because
they exist in our world it’s a gift we
can give away all of those things will
impact our house there I’m gonna give
you an example there’s a 20 year old boy
his name was Brian he was a college
student
Brian got sick in college and he was
admitted to the hospital and while in
the hospital he was on a round and a
wrap rounds of antibiotics he’d get out
go back in the hospital get another
round of nr
eventually after many rounds of
antibiotics in a year he’s pretty much
incapacitated couldn’t function in
college he dropped out he went to live
with his parents his parents then were
doing the same thing rounds of
antibiotics for another six months and
then they decided to do something
different they changed the way that he
ate they added some nutritional support
for him they changed his friends and got
him involved with people within two
months he no longer had any of his
symptoms the next semester he went back
to school and now he’s an engineer he
developed a plan and that plan was to
get from where he was sick to change
things about his life that could
actually give him what he wanted now the
plan is only as good as our commitment
to the action and what action do we take
do we sit here with the same actions
that we took before getting the same
results or do we change something take
some actions and committed to those
actions to get where we want to be
Einstein said or Edison said the doctor
of the future will prescribe no medicine
he’ll educate the patient in the human
form proper diet prevention of disease
and promotion of health our physicians
are not there yet so now we’ve talked
about a plan talked about the access to
being healthy and the physician inside
of you has a plan the access to keeping
more money in your pocket is what is my
plan to be healthy what are you what
will you do now the same things over and
over it is totally up to you thank you [Applause]
[Applause]
