Every believer has
a voice, and it's the
Voice of Victory. ♪ ♪ My God has made a way for me Hello everybody,
everywhere. I'm Kenneth Copeland. This is the Believer's
Voice of Victory broadcast. That's Dr. Don Colbert. That's his wife, Mary. Jesus is here and this
studio audience is here, so what's left? Glory to God. Let's have fun. Give the Lord a praise. Glory to God. (clapping) Now the Lord dropped
something in my heart and on yesterday's broadcast. Dr. Colbert's new book,
Healthy Gut Zone, heal your digestive system
to restore your body and renew your mind, and
renew your mind. So, we were talking
about, when yesterday, you got into what
leaky gut actually is. Now I'd heard that term. I really didn't
know what that was. That's nasty. - It really is. - That thing,
that's a killer. - That's the root cause
of most every GI disease and most every systemic
disease known to man, yet very few doctors
even recognize it. - Now part three. Gut answers, full of answers,
provides you with a healthy gut zone, diet outline,
practical steps that you can take to get your
gut back to healthy state. This is where your gut
wants to go and now you have the tools to get there. Now, we talked about this. Jesus said, "You shall know
the truth and the truth will, it won't set you free, it
makes you free," he said. - Amen. - But you can know
it and not act on it, and what good is that? - Right. - You have to do it. And God's not going to
make your decisions for you, but this book will
make your decisions, and the decision is ours. So now, what do I do? And as I said yesterday,
taking communion is a huge part of this. I learned this long ago. To take communion
and I do it a lot. It just says, "As often
as you do this." It didn't say you had
to do it at church. Communion and all of
this now, don't forget the power of covenant. - Amen. - There's blood
behind these words. - Amen. - Amen. - Open your Bibles to First
Corinthians Chapter 11. Now notice the apostle,
this great apostle said, "For I received of the
Lord," and it goes back to those times that he
separated himself for years and got before the Lord. "I've received of the Lord,
that which I delivered unto you, that the Lord
Jesus, the same that which he was
betrayed took bread. And when he had given
thanks, he broke and said, 'Take and eat this as my
body, which is broken. Do this in remembrance of
me.' After the same manner, he took the cup and when
he had supped saying, 'This cup is the New
Testament or the new covenant in my blood. This you do as often as you
drink it in remembrance of me. As often as you eat this
bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's
death until he comes.'" Now, Verse 28, you don't
stop right there. Most churches stop there. That's not it. "Let a man examine himself. And so, let him eat of that
bread and drink of that cup for he that eateth and
drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
condemnation to himself, not discerning
the Lord's body." Now look. Verse 31. Don't quit till you
get to verse 31. I set this food that
is just tearing me up. - Amen. Amen. - Just tearing me apart. I haven't been able to put
this thing down and I did this over cigarettes, and I
learned to do it over coffee. Coffee was tearing me, and
not everybody does this way. It'll do it to anybody that
abused it the way I did, because I did a lot of
flying and I just- - You drank by the pot,
not by the cup. - But I did, and my elbow
started hurting me, and so I set aside and
fasted for three days for the wisdom of God. I received it. And he said, "If you want my
will for you don't ever drink another cup of coffee as
long as you live." I said, "Now you want me
to preach this?" He said, "I wasn't
talking to everybody else. I'm talking to you,"
because I abused it. So I've got that whole
pot and everything, and that nasty old
green bag that... and I had. Had my Folgers and
my little coffee pot. He said, "Set it out there."
And I put it out there. I have no need of you
again, hereafter forever, and I haven't had a cup
of coffee since and it's been 40 years. - That's awesome. - You do the same with
sugar, didn't you? - I did the same
thing with sugar. Now, judge yourself. If you don't judge yourself. - That is so good. - You will be judged. - Amen. - That is so good. - Now remember, in Mark 11, Jesus saw that fig
tree afar off, went over there expecting
to find figs on that tree. And he didn't. Now listen, it didn't say
he spoke to the fig tree. He answered it. You better speak to
that chocolate cake. - Amen. Amen. That's good. That's good. Amen. - Take communion and
start talking to it. I don't like you. You're death to me. You're death to my gut. You don't go in
my gut anymore. You understand that? No. And write it down. God wrote the covenant to you. You write down your
covenant with him. Now, to show you
how you do this. He is my strength. I'll never be hungry again
for the rest of my life. I believe I received
my strength. Jesus is my strength
according to the scriptures in the spirit, soul and body. I'll go on the
strength of the Lord. I love you, oh
Lord, my strength. Strength and so
forth and so on... And I carried this, you can
see how long I carried this. - I know you carried
that a long time. - And all of this, double
strength in my spirit. All of this was over food. On this day, Monday,
September the 10th, 2000, I enter into the final phase
of the Simeons protocol and you remember that. - Yes, I remember that. - That's what
actually broke me. - Absolutely. - I never had to do it again. - What's amazing. Now, my problem, when I
had developed psoriasis, I didn't just... What happened, I woke up
one morning with psoriasis, but it took me
years to develop it, and what I was doing unknowingly
back in the late eighties, I'd gone in solo practice and I
didn't have time to be sick. So if I were to get a sinus
infection or something, I had no problem. I'd go to my cabinets, where
I had tons of antibiotics. I was taught during residency,
if you're sick with a sinus infection, take an antibiotic. So I took the strongest
antibiotic back then, which was Augmentin, and
I took a whopper dose. I only took it for maybe a week
and then I didn't miss a lick. I didn't miss work at all. I could do anything. But then what happened- - He's been in practice 40 years and he has never missed a day. - ... missed one day of work. - For sickness ever. - Praise God. - But what happened is, I
didn't realize when I did that, I was damaging my gut,
until back in early 1990, around '91, I woke up
covered with psoriasis. I mean, covered, and it
was the itchiness reddest, most inflamed rash, but
I had invited it in. Now, the first time I was
healed miraculously by God. The second time I
prayed, it didn't happen. He said, "You're going to
have to choose the right
foods to eat," and he literally led me
with his insatiable appetite to learn what
the answers were. I had to find it. I had to look for it. And what I found is I found
that certain foods inflame the gut for most
everyone, but especially, this was back in early 1990s. They didn't have this
information out. I had to search for it,
but I found that back then, when I checked my blood,
I checked for food
sensitivities. I found my body was highly
sensitive to gluten or wheat. I found out it was also highly
sensitive to tomatoes and peppers, which are night
shades, which by the way, inflame almost every
autoimmune disease. It's like an accelerant
putting a fire accelerant on a fire to make it
burn hotter. - Listen to that. - And so, what I was doing
every day, realize church, the flesh is dumb. The flesh usually craves the
very foods that invite disease into the body, and I was
inviting disease in every meal with wheat bread and every
lunch when I'd have that big old bowl of salsa with
tomatoes and peppers in it, and I loved it so much when
I was finished with it, I'd take the whole
bowl and drink it, and then an hour or so later,
I'd be on fire, itching. But the Lord- - And then he'd eat
cheese sandwiches, which was inflaming
his sinuses. - Exactly. So again, the Lord
dealt with me. - Well, it's a
never ending cycle. - The flesh craves the foods
that invite disease into it. But here's what happened,
when I gave up these foods, within a month, just like
Mary, I quit craving them. And then the rash totally went
away and hasn't come back. The gut healed. - I had to do the
same thing with bread. I was a bread addict,
particularly back Kenneth B.C. - Well, let me tell you
something about bread. - It was killing me. - Oh, I know. Bread is... Can I tell you? Again, Jesus taught us to
pray, give us this day, our daily bread. This is not the same
bread as in Jesus' day. - No. It isn't even close. - This bread is from dwarf
wheat that is cross-bred and hybridized, and
as a result now, wheat contains approximately
23,788 different inflammatory
peptides that can inflame our bodies. The worst two are
glutenins and gliadins. - We mentioned this earlier
in my dressing room. My grandson by
marriage is Greek. - Yes. - Can you imagine I have a
granddaughter that lives
in Thessaloniki. - That's great. I love it. - Oh, come on. Anyway, in Greece, they
protect the food chain by law. That happens in France. You don't mess with
the food chain there. These are very old countries. They have people that
live a long, long time, and because they
habitually eat good food. Don't know God, live a long
time, die and go to hell, but still they live good
while they were here. - What's amazing is,
they have little bitty refrigerators there. They don't have these
great big Sub-Zero. - It's true. - They don't need them because
they eat fresh every day. That was the biggest
eyeopening for me when we went to Greece. - Now, you remember Carlo. - Yes. - And of course,
Yvonne, his son is- - Yeah, Yvonne's great. - But Carlo is Italian
and his grandmother, he was raised by
his grandmother, and his grandmother went
to market every day and she prepared for what she
was going to fix breakfast the next morning, but she
would go to market then after breakfast
and get lunch. Then she would go to
market after lunch and get the evening meal. That's the way they lived. They just lived a long time.
Amen. - Amen. Well, that's what we saw. A few years ago,
we went to Greece, and one of the most amazing
experiences is when we went to the island of Crete. - Tell me about that. - And Crete's this huge
island, but the food... We went there with one that
used to live in Crete, and now her family
still lives in Crete. We went to the little local
restaurants that no one knows about way out in the
country, and it was amazing in this restaurant where we
would be with the whole family, and first they'd
bring a huge salad. Now they set before us a big
old bottle of olive oil. - Well, sure. - And what we did, by
the time that- - They probably brew it outside. - They did. - They did. - We were in the
plains of Messara, which is some of the
most fertile olive
groves in the world, surrounded by the Aegean Sea
where it's in a valley, surrounded by mountains, where the breeze comes through
there and creates them, and you have goats and
sheep fertilizing the olives- - This is where Paul was
shipwrecked. Same place... - What happened is
in this restaurant, we would start with a
big old Greek salad. We'd have cucumbers and
lettuce and we'd have lots of olive oil and lots
of veggies on it, and we would literally
pour the olive oil all over our salad. We didn't have other,
vinegar or anything else, just olive oil and
olives, lots of olives. And they were
grown right there. We were right in the middle
of the Plains of Messara. What happened then, they would
bring fish and chicken that was grilled or baked. - Organic. - Organic, and
lots of veggies, and it was just literally
food right out of the garden. - They don't have
to do organic. It just is. - No, is. - It is organic. - That's what I told Don. I said, "I am about ready
to move back to Greece and live there." - The
lifestyle, guys. - It's amazing. - It was amazing how
we sat there for hours. We laughed, we fellowship,
they were Greek Orthodox, but they were Christian. They love the Lord
with all their heart, but what was so amazing is
literally the joy that was there. We were no strife. What I find is so many
Americans, they eat so quick, they chew that bite one or
two times and they wash it
down with, usually soda, and what happens
is all that undigested food sits in there and becomes
food for the bad bacteria. And then, so many Americans
are having heartburn, indigestion, bad gas,
bloating, and it can, we need to chew our food. The most important thing for
digestion is chewing your food and being in a
state of relaxation. Now here's how Americans are. We just have maybe five
or 10 minutes to eat and we're rushed-
- We're too busy. - ... or we're sitting in
the car eating fast foods. - Too busy. - And so what happens
is that food, literally, as we're not producing the
enzymes or the hydrochloric acid that digest the food. - Well, there you go. - Now when most
everyone gets to age 70, they run out of pancreatic
reserve where the pancreas does not produce the
digestive enzymes you need. And most every
patient at that age, I have to put them on
digestive enzymes, and I have to instruct them. I say, "Chew each
bite 20 to 30 times. I used to say 30. Forget it. I came down to 20 because no
one was doing 30." So I said, "Okay, I'll compromise. Come down to 20 times. Take your enzyme." Some people
need hydrochloric acid. Why is it, I found that
so many people over 70, they lose their muscles in
their arms and legs and they grow bellies? It's because they don't have
enzymes and hydrochloric acid. They're going to their doctor. They're taking proton pump
inhibitors, acid blockers, and when you don't
have acid, guess what? You don't absorb your calcium. You don't absorb your magnesium
that create strong bones, and you start to
get muscle wasting because you don't have
the protein. We literally lose-
- And no exercise. - And you lose your B12. You can't absorb B12. And so what we do,
when we do this, we literally jumpstart
the digestion, but digestive enzymes- - Let me ask you something,
Dr. Colbert. You remember back some years
ago, I was sensitive to B12. - Oh yes. - And back there
then, to get B12, you had to give me a shot. - A shot, right. - Well, of course, and now I
get just about everything in the food that I eat and
I have less supplements
and so forth, but I'm no longer
sensitive to that. What caused that
sensitivity to B6 and B12? - Well, again, it's usually
not chewing your food. It's stress, when
you eat stressed, and you get your B12,
and a lot of these synthetic vitamins people
get sensitized to, but when you eat protein
and chew the protein, B12 is in protein, animal
foods, animal products. So is CoQ10. It just so happens, vegetarians
don't get enough B12 and CoQ10, which we get from
animal products. You get chicken and
meat, and again, fish. All of these are important. That's why you chew your food. You don't take so many
synthetic vitamins. You literally let your
food be your medicine. God's designed it, but
again, after age 70, a lot of people need those
digestive enzymes and/or some need hydrochloric acid. I see so many people... I see so
many people on these acid
blocking drugs because so many people have
heartburn. So many doctors
think that heartburn is an acid overproduction. Usually, when people have
heartburn and indigestion, it's too little acid,
and it's a valve problem. You see, we have a little
valve at the top of our stomach called the lower
esophageal sphincter. It's a sphincter. It's a valve that contracts
a muscle that contracts and certain foods cause
that valve to pop open, but the worst thing that cause
valve to pop open is obesity. The more belly fat you have,
the more that valve is going to pop open and then you're
going to get a proton pump inhibitor and acid
blocking. - Is it because of
the pull against it? - It's because the pressure. - It pulls it open? - Just picture this. Picture putting a watermelon
on a hot water bottle. What's going to happen? The water is going to come out
of that hot water bottle. - Pressure. - Well, that's
what we're doing. This happens to every woman at
six months pregnancy almost. At six months pregnancy,
their uterus grows up above the umbilicus
or belly button, and most women start to
get acid reflux. So they tell the woman
elevate the head of your bed. What happens with men? They're not pregnant, but they
got triplets or twins as far as the belly goes. They get a big old belly
that's overlapping their belt, and that belly fat is
pushing their stomach up through their diaphragm,
creating a hiatal
hernia, creating reflux, and they're taking these
proton pump inhibitors and these proton pump inhibitors
destroy or lower the acid by as much as 80%. When your acid goes
down, God gave us acid to kill the bad bacteria and
the viruses and H. pylori and parasites we take in. When you've cut out- - So now, you can see why
with COVID, the obese people were at risk for it
to be taken out. - Well, certainly. Yeah. - That is the reason they were
more likely to be taken out. - But here's what happens. When you're on proton pump
inhibitors and antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, you
get an overgrowth of this bad bacteria
in your gut. And so, that's why so
many women and men, when they're on these, they
eat sugar carbs and starches and their belly will swell
up like they pumped up with an air hose, and they
think, oh my goodness,
what is going on? Is there an alien in there? No, you've got what
condition we call SIBO, small intestinal bacterial
overgrowth from your proton pump inhibitor because
the acid is designed to kill off those bad bacteria. It's that simple. - Well, I can see what that
would do to the sinuses then. - Well, then the
acid comes up. It causes a sore throat. It can also create all kinds
of, eventually sinus issues. I cannot tell you how many
people lose their voice, have hoarseness, and it's
due to their acid reflux, and I fix it every
day in my office. I simply pull the
hiatal hernia down. I simply align the T7,
usually that goes out. I tell my women, "Throw away
the Spanx and the girdles. You're asking for reflux."
There's four main foods that create reflux, coffee or
caffeine, number one. Alcohol, number two. Peppermint, spearmint,
number three. Those all dilate
that sphincter. And dark chocolate. The darker the chocolate,
the more the reflux. I say, "Chocolate
is good for you." Yes, it is but you eat
it late at night, many people have acid reflux. There's other foods I talk
about in my book, Gut Zone, because we show you how to
overcome these most common gut diseases that people
are going to the doctor, getting these meds that's
making their gut worse. And with simple things
like apple cider vinegar. How simple. You take a teaspoon to a
tablespoon in water before or after your meal and boom,
turns off most reflux. If you don't like the taste,
get the little gummies without the sugar, and it turns
it off most of the time, it's that simple. I tell them how to do it, and
most everyone that comes in with reflux, I can usually
improve it dramatically within one minute. - Back when I was young boy,
if I had a sore throat or something like that, my mother would fix honey
tea and apple cider vinegar and just
a little touch of honey the sour didn't get to
me and it'd just be gone in a few minutes. And we're out of time. Give the Lord a praise. - It was too fast. - Amen. Thank you, doc. (clapping) - Hallelujah. Come on, Jeremy. Help
us here, son. Thank you, Pawpaw. When we follow God's
