=== Why We Left Traditional Medicine (03:14) ===

[00:00:10]  Hello everybody and welcome to the backstage show with Ricky and Marie.
[00:00:14]  Today we're extremely excited about the guests we have today.
[00:00:17]  We have Dr. Don and Mary Colbert.
[00:00:20]  It's so good to have you guys here.
[00:00:22]  Yes, Dr. Don is a New York's bestsellers list.
[00:00:26]  He's written over 40 books and has sold millions of copies altogether.
[00:00:30]  And his wife Mary, not only does she work alongside of her husband, but she is a minister herself and she's worked in schools, prisons, women's groups all over the United States.
[00:00:41]  And also together they have been featured on Fox News, ABC World News, BBC, and a bunch of other Christian prominent television shows.
[00:00:51]  Yes.
[00:00:51]  Now, you guys believe that eating the way you eat is the way, like a key to a long and joyful life.
[00:00:59]  Now, have you always believed this way?
[00:01:01]  Well, no, I haven't.
[00:01:02]  I had to get sick back in the early 90s.
[00:01:05]  See, I developed chronic fatigue.
[00:01:07]  I developed chronic sinusitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and psoriasis, the heartbreak.
[00:01:13]  They call it the heartbreak of psoriasis.
[00:01:15]  And I developed these diseases, and I didn't realize it, but literally, what I was eating was a major trigger to causing these diseases when I identified the foods that were the triggers and controlled the stress or learned to cope with stress and cleared a few key things like learn how to think God's thoughts instead of stressful thoughts, as well as get adequate sleep.
[00:01:38]  See, I was on call every night for years.
[00:01:41]  And when I implemented these principles, psoriasis gone, totally gone.
[00:01:45]  Irritable bowel gone.
[00:01:47]  You know, chronic siniasitis gone.
[00:01:49]  Chronic fatigue gone.
[00:01:50]  And so I learned right then that to let my food be my medicine and let my medicine be my food.
[00:01:57]  It's interesting too because a lot of people think that, you know, that God doesn't care what you eat, that you can eat anything that you want and just pray over it and bless it.
[00:02:07]  So the message that we often try to bring to the church, the church really isn't interested in hearing because the mindset is, you know, God doesn't really care what I eat.
[00:02:18]  What's the big deal?
[00:02:19]  As a matter of fact, he cares a lot.
[00:02:21]  And it's amazing how much as you get into the world, how much he does care what you eat.
[00:02:26]  And what Don had to find out as a practicing physician is just how true that was because some foods that people are eating is actually causing their disease.
[00:02:36]  Wow.
[00:02:37]  And yet they think, oh, it's okay to eat.
[00:02:39]  You know, God doesn't care.
[00:02:40]  Well, if it's causing disease, I think God cares, you know, what you're eating.
[00:02:46]  And it does.
[00:02:47]  Don't one of Don's favorite lines is, you catch a cold, you catch a flu, but you develop disease and you develop.
[00:02:56]  By making wrong food choices consistently.
[00:03:00]  You see, if you can't resist a donut or a bowl of ice cream or a candy bar, then how are you going to resist the devil trying to kill you?
[00:03:08]  That's so true.
[00:03:09]  Audience, this is Donna Mary.
[00:03:12]  And you guys need to stay tuned if you want to know more.
[00:03:14]  This is how real they are.
[00:03:16]  You guys are so amazing.
[00:03:17]  This has been so fun to interview you guys.
