The Body is Designed to Heal - Dr Richard Ruhling

welcome back to another episode of

Christian Natural Health today I am

excited to have Dr Richard ruling with

us Dr rueling was a board certified was

board certified in Internal Medicine and

had a Cardiology fellowship before

teaching health science at Loma Linda

University a community featured on the

National Geographic cover story on

longevity as the only Blue zone for

health in North America there he gained

insights on how the body is designed for

self-healing without the need for

prescription drugs that have become a

leading cause of illness and death

welcome Dr rueling thank you so much for

joining us

thank you so much Dr Lawrence good to be

with you and uh with an ally yeah

absolutely so uh tell me a little bit

about your paradigm shift because you

started in the traditional allopathic

world and then you went to Loma Linda

and everything kind of shifted what was

that Journey like

okay well I really wanted to be a

missionary and I went to Loma Linda to

take medicine and be a medical

missionary and uh favorite author uh

made a statement a factor founder of

Loma Linda who really did not want drugs

taught in her Med in her school she

wanted to have natural remedies yeah and

uh sadly uh administrators hijacked her

school uh to get AMA accreditation that

seemed to be a good deal to them but uh

she said no and

um bad situation I I struggle to

understand her statement that drugs

changed the form and location of disease

and I I couldn't understand how that my

medical school was teaching me

pharmacology when she made the statement

she was considered actually a prophet uh

Seventh-day Adventist I'm not

denominational I'm no longer a member I

believe they made so many stupid

mistakes but basically

um uh she was very accurate which is why

NIH gave my school a 4 40 million

dollars to learn why the community

Adventists live about seven years longer

than other non-smoking groups and it's

really because of her writings and uh

she in her writing she said the drugs

changed the form and location she did

not use modern terminology like

cholesterol that was before that time

but uh now we call adverse drug

reactions exactly what that is it

changed the form and location and I have

a personal experience that helped me

with that uh former wife had a bladder

infection went to her doctor for a

prescription and uh she took it for an

antibiotics she took it for about three

days didn't need it anymore just took it

as prescribed but months later she had a

rash and she went to her doctor again

who called urgently the next morning

after a blood test and said she needs to

see a hematologist she has no platelets

and he put her in the hospital did a

bone marrow took out her spleen treated

her with high steroids gamma globulin

transfer fusions in and out of hospitals

until she died of a stroke from an

antibiotic that she took for three days

huge situation and now I understand uh

Ellen White's uh statement that has

changed the form and location she had a

bladder infection died of a stroke

that after app description from what we

call adverse drug reactions which are

now a number one cause of death really

medical literature supports it but the

CDC never reports it in their top 10

lists they're Liars in business with

Pharma and uh don't uh they may think if

they don't say something they're not

lying well they're you know the the

public look to them for this and that

and uh it's a it's a tragic situation

even today's headlines about lamenting

the fact that um uh the vaccination

rates are low in children dropping well

you know I reared six children we

adopted four and um none of them ever

had any shots they all grew up healthy

you know we we don't need the Mercury

that's in those shots that can give

autism except better as far as I'm

concerned sure yeah absolutely so

backing up a little bit can you tell us

what a blue zone is like that that's

what got your your support there what

does that actually mean well it was

reported in the uh National Geographic

cover story of November 2005 that

featured the Loma Linda community and uh

they call uh certain uh you know it's

the only Blue Zone in North America for

uh Healthy Living actually I had a uh

one of my teachers died a couple years

ago November at 104. he helped teach

surgical residents until he was 95

standing in surgery at age 95 uh still

training them and uh one of my teachers

just uh about a year ago I got a

Christmas card he had a chainsaw and a

tree down he was 95 at the time so

I'm I have I'm 81 but I'm looking for

good stuff amen absolutely that's

fabulous so when you began to kind of

have your perspective shift how hard was

that for you I mean at what point did

you actually kind of flip over and say

maybe what I was taught wasn't the way

it really is

when did it shift I I practiced medicine

with um

um

for example if I had prescribed for my

wife I would have used ampicillin

because penicillin unless you're

allergic to it it's not a a real problem

you know but doctors go with the newer

drugs the stuff that uh is the latest

and the greatest in fact every week in a

medical office you have a free lunch

someday when the drug company is locally

sponsoring the meal and this is the

latest and greatest for the doctor okay

um bad situation basically it's like uh

letting the fox guard the hen house in

many you know we we really I stayed with

drugs that I knew to be within my scope

and I would try to encourage them

towards healthy lifestyle so they don't

need the drugs basically yeah exactly so

uh just out of curiosity was it a

quinolone the antibiotic that they gave

uh it was Cipro

um okay so given your work on Cardiology

and Internal Medicine what is your

perspective on heart disease now how do

people prevent it and how and what do

they do if they have it currently

okay

um I have uh on a website a a

introductory uh video showing how that

uh most diseases are reversible by diet

like uh vegan the the video is vegan I'm

I've been vegetarian most of my life I

uh my current wife fixed some animal

products but not it's not a dominant

thing uh every day or every meal and so

uh I would just say uh that is healthy

healthy stuff uh prescriptions people

pay thousands of dollars for uh in a

year's time some of them more than that

uh just if they can do it without and I

would say go to the website this health

happiness Destiny those are three words

everybody wants no and just health

happinessdestiny.com and uh watch an

eight minute video and if they want they

can uh

that full video I offer as a part with a

book as well so basically uh

um tell you about it later maybe but

that's what um I would say uh eating

what we put in our mouth is the main

thing of what makes our body you know

it's not the air it's not the water uh

yeah those things can be a trouble if

you got something bad in it you know but

basically uh healthy habits of what the

body becomes is comes from the common

entry path to the mouth and so uh it's

our choice what we put in our mouth so

it's diseases of choice that we've got

which ones do we want you know

and people can get used to a diet that

isn't quite as rich and if I if we uh we

learn to eat what we like and and you

can uh throw something in the salad

besides oil grease and and you know the

salad dressings are usually high in fat

but uh throw a few beans or peas or

tomatoes whatever in the salad and it

still tastes good or apple slices yeah

absolutely so mostly it's just make sure

that you're eating Whole Food the way

that God made it essentially yes good

for you yep absolutely so and then you

made you had a little teaser in here a

popular beverage is the most overlooked

cause of a dozen medical problems so I'm

assuming you're gonna say soda but what

where are you going with that the brown

liquids coffee actually

um I know and lots of Americans do it or

tea but I I could just start at the top

uh high caffeine uh is insomnia and

nervous disorders okay and basically

um going down the body cleft palate uh

hereditary defect you see little kids

with a uh you know we want to sponsor

the surgery well it's it's caffeine in

the first trimester high doses and um

[Music]

heart I I in my Cardiology training they

didn't allow caffeine in the coronary

Care Unit it could trigger a fatal

arrhythmia uh ventricular fibrillation

uh it causes extra heartbeats and in the

context of a heart attack could be bad

uh High uh acidity in the stomach

caffeine turns the stomach acid on you

have gastritis ulcers uh gerd

gastroesophageal reflux disease my

daughter got breast lumps drinking the

Cokes and Pepsis uh in the night shift

at the hospital she couldn't stay awake

and she uh her breast lumps went away

when she quit the the caffeine and um

cancer the pancreas reported in 1981 in

March issue of of Jama

um I'm sorry New England Journal of

Medicine leading Journal uh uh several

hundred cases of proven cancer of the

pancreas compared to uh control groups

the the people who wrote the article

quit drinking coffee okay cancer

igniters also okay wow that's amazing I

wonder

just out of curiosity with respect to

the the cancer of the pancreas do you

think it was because of like the

contaminants in the coffee the solvents

and whatnot or do you think it was the

coffee itself or does I mean I usually

usually don't speculate on mechanism but

I was just curious

um I don't know but my favorite author

said it causes uh coffee and tea causes

problems of every stripe and type so uh

it you know

um I would just say uh not just

contaminants maybe but uh caffeine is a

drug basically and we think it's just uh

you know

um you know nicotine is a drug clearly

caffeine keeps you in Balance by the way

and if you try to quit smoking and you

have all the stimulation of caffeine you

can't quit you need another you need

another smoke to balance your nerves and

so they go together this

um Pavlov called coffee bad habit glue

it glues our bad habits together we can

live lousy and and we would never wake

up in the morning for the job unless we

did it going with the with the drug

caffeine yeah that enables you to keep

doing it gotcha interesting so what

would you say to somebody who's already

on a very long list of pharmaceuticals

where would they start

well uh exercise is a good way to start

uh uh it makes you less less picky about

what you eat okay and so uh then you can

uh and I would say the the video that I

have available or you know a link online

health happiness and Destiny is

excellent on motivating people I've had

people uh uh you know it it's the best

tool I have found to try to get people

to change their diet basically because

it documents uh on the video so many

benefits from uh eating well and there's

a wide variety of fruits nuts vegetables

things like that that we can eat it's

not just uh and you know I I eat very

well now I you know I and I've got a

good my wife is a good cook so I I just

say uh can do that you know yeah yeah

awesome so uh what about acute illness

so there's certainly a lot of that going

around at the time at the moment uh what

are some of your favorite natural

approaches to dealing with acute illness

well for acute things I do think that

Medical Care has a place you need to

know what's the cause I was taught in

medical school from a teacher who who

had graduated from Harvard he said they

taught him at Harvard 50 of what we

teach you is not true well

that's really bad is the treatment you

know with the rugs but uh diagnosis is

really uh not a true diagnosis because

they're not telling you what's the cause

most of the medical textbooks say

unknown etiology they don't know what

costs because they don't talk to people

about what they eat okay it's just you

know so it's a bad situation but I I

believe that

um uh diagnosis especially in acute

problems can be helpful it's just that

if you have cancer I wouldn't want

chemotherapy or radiation and in fact

the video also shows that idea and

people have beaten it with natural

remedies and and good diet basically

yeah absolutely but what about like

acute short-lived illness like the flu

for example or a cold like that what

would you suggest for that

I um I was working on emergency room one

night when I was catching the flu

scratchy throat runny nose achy felt

cold took my temperature and it was

normal they taught us in medical school

that viruses are killed or arrested

faster with a fever so here I am a

Sitting Duck no fever what can I do I

took a break 20 minutes filled a tub in

the hospital with a hot water as I could

stand and soaking up to here in my ears

I I had in 20 minutes a fever of 102 and

a half and as the water was running out

it actually felt good the poor cold

water front and back contrast hot and

cold can double your white blood count

so twice as many Soldier cells

circulating and I didn't need any supper

so those white blood cells would be

hungry you know we get flu after the

holidays Christmas cookies cakes candies

and all the goodies well uh none of that

you know fasting is better for the

immune system it makes the white cells

hungry and I I felt pretty good I saw my

patients till 11 and decided that the

the bath had helped me so I did it again

a second hot bath fever treatment

finished with cold went to sleep in the

morning I had no symptoms it was all

gone I aborted the flu okay with no with

no drugs I didn't even have vitamin C

but it was just for diet and Etc yes

hydrotherapy is amazing absolutely

um okay and then what about people who

are struggling with weight loss I'm

guessing I probably know where you're

gonna go with this but what would you

suggest that doesn't involve super

strict dieting where you know people

aren't starving themselves okay I do

have a tip or two for that most people

haven't considered it's not just

calories it's also when you eat them

okay what you eat for breakfast you can

burn up through the day I eat an early

afternoon meal but uh nothing at night

okay and fasting there's there's

benefits to intermittent fasting you can

read it in the literature and so why not

fast uh from the you know if I can't

last from afternoon or one day to next

morning it's big trouble you know you

know we should be able to last that long

uh you know you said uh I I'm Christian

basically and I see that Christ lasted

40 days surely I can wait till tomorrow

morning

in perspective yep

so yeah that's great very cool so what

have I not asked you that you think is

important to leave with our audience

oh um

natural is is best uh we don't need to

to fry things you know uh if it has a

weight problem I think uh organic is

more and more necessary uh and animal

products are more and more dangerous as

they uh try to squeeze every dollar out

of every uh cow even feeding them manure

uh to get more nitrogen in their diet

along with the hormones antibiotics and

things that they inject them with uh I

we had a lady uh who worked at a chicken

plant but also clean house she said she

would never eat a chicken you know that

was uh that was 40 years ago that she

would never eat a chicken I don't think

it's any better today so basically

um you know

I just say stay with nature and as

another cardiologist said if it grows

out of the ground it's fine well even

now there's so many sprays and things uh

go organic as much as possible yeah yeah

absolutely so you alluded to your book

tell us more about it what is it called

and where can people get it

well I couldn't find a copy real quick

but this one here shows the cover from

health happiness and Destiny uh at the

website

healthhappinessdestiny.com and it was uh

the Grady harp MD top Hall of Fame

Amazon reviewer top 100 Hall of Fame he

said Splendid book uh and uh highly

recommended so uh if they want something

on the topic of health and other things

I I think it's it's helpful uh from that

website I would just say uh uh even as

an example uh I'm coming from a

Christian perspective Christ said study

the Book of Daniel when he was asked

about the end times and in the Book of

Daniel Daniel opted out of medical

government Health Care in the first

chapter you know basically he uh I think

stay away run from the government

they're trying to control us all with

you know what Etc so big trouble you

know I don't the media is is hijacked

with uh all the money they're making

from Pharma and and by the way in the

Book of Revelation the word pharmacia is

the Greek word that deceives all nations

okay that's in the 18th chapter verse 23

badly translated as sorcery sorcery

disease All Nations but the Greek word

is pharmacia why would they translate

pharmacia as sorcery you know except

that maybe it seems like magic but it's

not magic at all you know I'm gonna go

study that very interesting very

interesting okay and can you say your

website one more time okay three words

health

happinessdestiny.com and there's a book

DVD tab at the top that they can watch a

video and get more if they like whatever
