DR. COLBERT: I'm trying to reach the Church. We need to reach the
Church before these diseases become so ingrained that it
literally takes every bit of your faith, the Church's faith,
intercessor's faith to pull you out of this rut.
(Singing) I know my God has made the way for
me. I know my God has made the way for me.
ANNOUNCER: Today on the Believer's Voice of Victory,
Kenneth Copeland and guest Dr. Don Colbert uncover the dangers
of sugar and its tie to cancer and multiple diseases. Stop the
cycle. Be equipped with revelation and
understanding to live in God's divine health.
KENNETH: Hello, everybody. I'm Kenneth Copeland.
Welcome to the Believer's Voice of Victory broadcast.
(Laughs) You're going to like this today. I--I can
already tell. Amen. Don't you think so, Doc? DR. COLBERT: Oh,
yeah. KENNETH: Oh, yeah. I want you to join me in welcoming Dr.
Don Colbert into the studio today. DR. COLBERT: Praise God.
(Applause) KENNETH: I'm so glad that you're here, man. Praise
God. Now, you really want to download the notes to what
you're going to get all this weekend and all next week.
Mm-hmm. You're going to need them, and you're going to want
them, and you're going to be glad you have them. Father, we
thank You today. We give You praise for this broadcast today.
We uplift our hearts and our minds to receive revelation from
heaven, words from heaven that move heaven on the earth. And we
thank You for it. We give You all the praise and the honor and
the glory for it. In Jesus' name, amen. We've got a
wonderful studio audience in here today. Praise God. Welcome,
everybody. And--(Applause) DR. COLBERT: And my wife, Mary's,
here-- KENNETH: Yeah, I see. DR. COLBERT: --in the front row.
KENNETH: Wonderful to see you over there. (Laughter) Yeah,
amen. Hi, Mary-Mary. We love you, girl. Amen. And members of
the the KCM staff and members of the EMIC staff and just some
people that just love us, you know. We've got partners here.
Amen. DR. COLBERT: Yes. KENNETH: Hey, we're going to have--we're
going to have a good time for a couple of weeks here. How come
you're sitting way back there, and way up-- DR. COLBERT:
(Laughs) Well, I'm sort of relaxed right here. I'm just
kind of laying back, leaning back, relaxing. KENNETH: Amen.
Let's open our Bibles, first of all, to the 23rd chapter of
Proverbs. We're going to be talking about--and talking from
Dr. Colbert's new book, "The Keto Zone." Ha-ha-ha-ha. This
thing is so good. I'm--I just--I can hardly wait to get into
this. The first time--now, I'm 81 years old. And the first time
in my life that my weight has been stable, not--like somebody
said, "How much weight have you lost?" I said, "You know,
probably 35-, 40,000 pounds." (Laughter) Yeah, probably more
than that now. And--but for the first time, it's stable, where I
get up Sunday morning, weigh, and it's the same thing it was
last Sunday. (Laughs) Amen. And--but we're going--we're
going to pick him for everything he knows. (Laughs) Praise God.
And, listen, hey, guys, be ready for Fridays because we're just
going--I'm just going to open it up and let--you're just going to
ask him what--whatever you need to ask. So you're going along,
write down questions and stuff, and--and we'll have a good time
with it. 23rd chapter of Proverbs, are you there?
AUDIENCE: Yes. KENNETH: "When thou sittest to eat with a
ruler, consider diligently" --very important word
"--consider diligently what is before thee." Stop and think
before you eat it. DR. COLBERT: Amen. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH:
"Put a knife to your throat, if you be a man given to appetite.
Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful" food,
"deceitful meat." They look good, taste good, smell good,
and they're worthless. Now, look at the 20th and the 21st verse.
There's some--in both of these places, there's just a major
revelation that came to me a number of years ago. I never
would have been able to--I weighed 263 pounds one time.
Now, I didn't stay there very long, but that--that was the
peak. So "Be not--" Verse 20. "Be not among winebibbers; among
righteous eaters of flesh: for the drunkard and the glutton
shall come to poverty: drowsiness shall clothe a man
with rags." So, I wanted you to notice here that the drunkard
and the glutton are mentioned in both--together. Every verse
that--in the Bible that I've been able to find that mentions
the glutton mentions the drunkard in the same--in the
same context. Now, here's what's so important about that: This is
addiction. DR. COLBERT: Yes, absolutely right. KENNETH: And
food addiction is one of the meanest addictions there is. And
I knew I was addicted to it, particularly bread. I
like--well, what I didn't know back there then, it metabolizes
into sugar and alcohol. DR. COLBERT: Right. KENNETH: I mean,
it'll make a drunkard out of you. DR. COLBERT: Mm-hmm.
KENNETH: And--and I didn't know how to get free from it. And I
asked the Lord, I said, "Ha, you delivered me from--you delivered
me from smoking, You delivered me from drinking." I never was
a--I never was a drinker. I didn't like it in the first
place. And the few times that I did get drunk and I lost control
mentally, boy, I didn't like that at all. I really wanted out
of that. And--but, I said, "How are you going to deliver me from
food?" I mean, come on. AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: And I
kept on about this, and I--I did some serious fasting and praying
over this. It sounds like it happened in a few minutes, but
it happened over a period of time. And then when I heard Him,
oh, it wasn't audible, but it was really close. He said,
"Kenneth, I didn't deliver you from drinking. I delivered you
from drinking alcohol." DR. COLBERT: Mm-hmm. KENNETH: "I
didn't deliver you from breathing. I delivered you from
breathing smoke." AUDIENCE: Amen. KENNETH: And He said,
"You're a hypocrite." I said, "Lord, that--you hit me a low
blow here." (Laughter) Whoa, whoa. Why--it really--really
just almost brought me to tears. He said, "Well," He said,
"You'll fire somebody for putting the wrong brand of oil,
particularly in your airplane." I said, "Yeah, I will." He said,
"You'll put anything in your body, and it's--it's a much
finer machine than your car or your airplane." He said, "You
put stuff in there you haven't got any idea what's in it." See,
I was not diligently considering what was before me. And He said,
"You never read the label on a can. You have no idea what
you're stuffing in your mouth." And the only thing, if it looks
good and tastes good, well, you know, why not? And He said,
"That's--you have to make a choice and put a stop to it." So
that's when it began, back there years ago. And it worked. DR.
COLBERT: But you had a revelation. KENNETH: Yeah. And
that's--without that, you're in trouble. DR. COLBERT: Right. But
most people--and this is what I found in my practice, people
come to my practice, and I give them the plan, yet they don't
follow through until usually they get a revelation. Now,
usually, the revelation they come in with is, "Hey, Dr.
Colbert, I just had a massive heart attack. Now only half of
my heart is functioning, and now my lungs are filling up with
fluid, and my feet are filling up with fluid, and I'm
exhausted, and I can only walk a few steps before I have to
stop." Or they come in with cancer, stage three or four,
when they've only given them six months to live. Or they come in
with Alzheimer's, and it's moderate Alzheimer's, and the
doctors have said, "Hey, within a few years, you'll be in a
nursing home." Now, again, I'm trying to reach the Church. We
need to reach the Church before these diseases become so
ingrained that it literally takes every bit of your faith,
the Church's faith, intercessors' faith to pull you
out of this rut, okay? Now, what I--what the statistics
show--it's alarming what's happening in this country with
our food. Realize, in 1960, one in seven Americans were obese.
1960. Now, today, over one in three are obese. And it's
projected by 2050 one in two Americans will be obese.
KENNETH: 50 percent. DR. COLBERT: 50 percent. And it is
predicted by 2050 one in three Americans will have Type II
diabetes. And it's predicted by 2050 that Alzheimer's disease
will triple. Now, what is happening if you look at this
story? When you choose to eat a lot of sugar, carbs, and
starches, you are literally inviting into your body, into
your brain 35 major diseases. You're--it's the same principle
as Galatians 6:7 and 8, "Brethren be not deceived; God
is not mocked: whatsoever seed you sow, that will you also
reap." And then it goes on to say, "will reap corruption of
the flesh." Now, what corruption is is destruction of the flesh.
Well, what's Alzheimer's? Destruction of the brain. What's
cancer? Destruction of the body and forming cells that literally
start to hijack all your nutrition, and it grows off your
body, and it starves your body. KENNETH: You know, I see now why
God put the drunkard and the glutton in the same verse. From
what you're saying, the drunkard knows what he's inviting. DR.
COLBERT: Yes. KENNETH: "I know where I'm going. I'm going to
wind up drunk. I'm going to wind up driving. I'm liable to kill
somebody," but he does it anyway. The insidious part of
this is inviting all of this disease-- DR. COLBERT: Disease.
KENNETH: --and sickness and death into your body, you don't
even know it. DR. COLBERT: Don't even know it. Now, here is the
key now. Because alcohol, you get addicted to. Here are the
key foods we get addicted to. The key foods we get addicted to
are sugars, carbs, and starches. What's the common denominator in
all these foods? Well, sugar forms sugar, and sugar feeds
cancer. Sugar actually is cancer's favorite food. It
invites cancer into the body when you choose to eat a lot of
sugar. When you eat a lot of carbs and starches, potatoes,
bread, corn, even rice, you're actually--it's breaking down to
sugar, and you're, again, inviting all these diseases into
your body because your body sees sugar as--sees starches, carbs,
and sugars as sugar. Now, what's happening again is, by choosing
to do this, sugar actually increases dopamine in the brain.
What's dopamine? One of the most powerful neurotransmitters in
our bodies. It's in charge of the reward system in the body.
In other words, when you eat sugar, you get a boost or burst
of dopamine. Dopamine is this incredible feel-good chemical.
And it actually causes us to have bliss, euphoria, and it's
the pleasure reward system of the body. And so when you
continually eat sugar and starches and carbs, you get
addicted to it due mainly to this dopamine surge that you
get. And most people are wanting that surge every three or four
hours. That's why they're reaching for sugar. The other
thing it does--rats and mice choose sugar over cocaine, which
is amazing. That's how addictive this is. KENNETH: Mm-hmm. DR.
COLBERT: And then what sugar does is it increases a powerful
hormone in your body. Whenever you eat sugar, carbs, or
starches, excessive carbs and starches, it increases insulin.
Now, here's what insulin does: Insulin programs you for fat
storage, particularly in your belly. And so when you choose to
eat that sugar, your insulin's going up. But then what happens,
after a few hours, your sugar drops, because that's what
insulin does, it drives sugar in the cells. Your blood sugar
drops and unleashes a ravenous appetite. And so you get stuck
in this cycle. Every three to four hours, you need another
sugar, carb, or starch hit in order to get your burst of
dopamine, in order to raise your blood sugar so you don't have
that hypoglycemic reaction, or low blood sugar. So it's highly
addictive when we continue to eat all these sugars and
starches, because what happens over time--and this is what
happens in most people, between the ages of 40 and 50, something
happens in most Americans. They can't--they can no longer eat
that pizza and not gain weight. They can no longer go and eat
that big plate of pasta or all these bagels or all that bread
or all that corn, all those corn chips, because when they do,
they notice something happen. They notice their waist is going
up. They notice they're getting sluggish. But what is happening,
they are becoming insulin resistant, because as your belly
gets bigger, you become more insulin resistant. When that
happens, you are inviting diabetes into your body. And
that's what sugar does. So this insulin eventually stays high
all the time as we get older. 40, 50, it keeps creeping up.
When insulin creeps up higher and higher, eventually what that
does is causing you to have more belly fat, more belly fat. Then
it invites every--35 major diseases into your body,
especially Type II diabetes, especially obesity, especially
heart disease, because sugars and carbs cause plaque buildup
in your arteries. So literally, what we're doing is we're
trapped in this cycle. And so until people get the
revelation--and again, sometimes it takes a heart attack, a
stroke, you know, severe complications of diabetes like
amputation of a limb, kidney failure, Alzheimer's disease,
cancer. Now you see what's happening. One in three
Americans will die of heart disease. That's the number one
cause of death in this country. What's it due primarily to?
Excessive sugars, carbs, and starches. And the number two--
KENNETH: Which created the plaque-- DR. COLBERT: Exactly.
KENNETH: --which shut down the arteries and kills it. DR.
COLBERT: Number two, the number two cause of death to this
country is cancer. One in--approximately one in four
will die of cancer. And cancer's favorite food is sugar. In fact,
when a person has advanced cancer, they do a special test
called a PET scan. You remember a PET scan? In a PET scan, they
inject a radioactive sugar into your body called FDG,
fluorodeoxyglucose, which is sugar, a radioactive-tagged
sugar. Now, what happens is, cancer cells gobble up that
sugar because they're sugar feeders. And so that's how we
find out where the cancer is, by injecting a special
radioactive-tagged glucose, or sugar. So again, we've got to
get people to understand, you have got to receive the
revelation, "Hey, I don't want to wait until I'm diagnosed with
a heart attack, a stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's disease,
complication of diabetes. I want to go ahead and start now." And
that's the key. What I found is, people need that revelation,
that "aha" moment, that epiphany. KENNETH: Mm-hmm, like
happened to me. DR. COLBERT: Yeah. So it happened to you.
Now, again, he--the good thing about it is, he didn't have any
health catastrophe. AUDIENCE: Yes. DR. COLBERT: Why wait until
you have a health catastrophe before you have that "aha"
moment, that revelation? Now, once they get the revelation,
you know what they have to do? They have to make a decision.
What is that decision you want to do? "I lay sugar, excessive
carbs, excessive starches on the altar and follow the plan." Now,
when you make that decision, you have to follow it with a
commitment. You've got to commit to the program. I tell people,
"If you can commit three weeks, watch three weeks--it takes
three weeks to form a habit. It takes three months to form a
lifestyle. Now, if you can commit to three weeks, bingo, we
have just--we'll turn--we'll put the sugar on the altar. A lot of
people say, "Oh, if I do that, I'll go through withdrawals."
Some people do. But that even shows you even more so why you
need to do it. KENNETH: Yeah. And so what? (Audience Agrees)
DR. COLBERT: So what? That's right. KENNETH: So what? DR.
COLBERT: And that's why you need to. You're going through a
detox, literally, from sugar, carbs, and starches. AUDIENCE:
Yes. DR. COLBERT: But then that's why it's so important to
get a partner. And I tell people, "Get a partner to help
you through this." A prayer partner can be a friend or
any--someone that's a strong person that can help you through
this. You've got to make that commitment. And then once you
make that commitment, you follow through. And we need support.
The Church has got to band together. Realize, the Church is
sicker. The Christians are usually the sickest religion;
have more disease in Christians than most any other religion.
Did you know that? KENNETH: Hmm-mm. AUDIENCE: Mm. DR.
COLBERT: And what's happened, again--Jesus has called us to do
three key activities. You know what these three activities are,
anyone? Number one, we are to pray. Number two, we are to
give. Number three, we are to fast. When you follow the Keto
Zone lifestyle, you are following a fasted lifestyle. So
like John the Baptist, which is just not eating wild--honey and
wild locusts, okay? (Laughs) And so, do you realize the
incredible benefits medically from therapeutic fasting? Now,
again, I'm kind of switching the subjects. But therapeutic
fasting is the--is the most amazing new thing of research
they're doing now to show the tremendous health benefits. Do
you know, when you fast for like 12 hours, like from 7:00 in the
evening to 7:00 in the morning, or even longer, up to 18 hours a
day, you unleash a process in the body called autophagy. I
know that's a mouthful. That just means self-eating. Your
body goes into a state of self-cleaning the cells on a
cellular level. Your body starts to take out old, worn-out
proteins, mitochondria, organelles, and cell membranes,
and it starts to get rid of them and recycle them to rebuild new
cells. Isn't that cool how it works? KENNETH: Now, the
beginning of Gloria and my transformation-- DR. COLBERT:
Mm-hmm. KENNETH: --was back there some years ago when you
taught us this, and we began having supper at 5:30 in the
evening. DR. COLBERT: Yes. Praise God. KENNETH: And 5:30 to
6:00. DR. COLBERT: Right. KENNETH: And then didn't eat
anything else until 8:00, 8:30, 9:00-- DR. COLBERT: Right.
KENNETH: --the next morning. DR. COLBERT: Now, let me tell you
what it does. When you do that, your body--your cells go into a
self-cleaning mechanism. And what happens, it takes old,
damaged proteins and cellular structures and starts to recycle
them. Kind of like having an old car, and you take out the--you
know, the spark plugs. Some people have--take--I mean, some
people take the motor out of the car and put a new motor in
there. That's what your body is doing. It's removing old
proteins and old damaged parts of the cell, and it's creating
new parts. Now, what happens, damaged proteins create damaged
cells that can either undergo three things we usually find.
Either you can keep your damaged cells and feel rotten, or the
cells can go through apoptosis, or programmed cell death, or
it's more prone to form a cancer cell. So by doing this, you're
cleaning out these bad cells, and you are preventing cancer.
The other thing you're doing, you're cleaning--and this is the
Keto Zone program, too, you go into a state of autophagy when
you do this program. And just like I told you, you wait 12
hours from the time you eat dinner to the time you eat
breakfast. But then for Alzheimer's disease, it starts
to clear out those abnormal proteins in the brain that
trigger Alzheimer's. It clears out the beta amyloid, the tau
protein. The body literally shuttles these abnormal proteins
into a structure of the cell called the lysosome, and it
breaks it down, and it reuses the amino acids to form more
good proteins. Isn't that amazing? KENNETH: It is amazing.
DR. COLBERT: So that's the exciting thing. And this program
does that for you because you literally take the--the thing
that turns off autophagy. You know what it is? Sugar, carbs,
starches. High insulin turns the self-cleaning process off. So
again, you can rid your body and prevent, many times, cancer,
Alzheimer's, and many other diseases just by taking away the
sugar and carbs for 12 hours a day; at least 12 hours, I tell
people. Now, if you can go 13, 14, 15, 16--some people do it 16
hours a day. Some people have a window where they eat eight
hours a day, and they fast 16 hours, and it's amazing how the
body changes. KENNETH: Well, I mean, that's what God told
Israel. On the sabbath, don't eat until evening. DR. COLBERT:
Right. KENNETH: I don't do it because it was part of the law,
I do it because it's intelligent. DR. COLBERT: Amen.
Amen. KENNETH: But if it worked back there then, it works now.
DR. COLBERT: Right. KENNETH: And so--and Gloria doesn't do that,
but I do. DR. COLBERT: Praise God. KENNETH: And come Saturday,
I just--I just don't eat or--I drink a lot of water, and I
drink my tea-- DR. COLBERT: Good. KENNETH: --and stuff, my
hot tea. Yeah, you know. DR. COLBERT: (Laughs) KENNETH:
And--but then in the evening, I eat protein. DR. COLBERT:
Mm-hmm. KENNETH: Then I get up the next morning, and I weigh
exactly the same that I did the last week. DR. COLBERT: You are
living a fasted lifestyle. And when you do that, and especially
that 12-hour period during the night, you're unleashing one of
the most-- KENNETH: Wow. DR. COLBERT: --wonderful mechanisms
in the body to prevent cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and every
other diseases. KENNETH: Oh, you've got to love it. Glory to
God. DR. COLBERT: It's exciting. KENNETH: Hallelujah. Where are
we, Tim? Ooh, yeah. Okay. I tell you what, this has been good,
hasn't it? Have you enjoyed it? (Agreement & Applause)
Hallelujah. Praise God. Okay. We'll see you tomorrow. But
grandson Jeremy will be back in just a moment.
ANNOUNCER: We hope you enjoyed today's teaching from Kenneth
Copeland Ministries. And remember Jesus is Lord.
