Mark: TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH," PRESIDENT OBAMA
HEADS TO ISRAEL.
A LOOK AT WHAT TO EXPECT
DURING HIS FIRST TRIP TO THE
JEWISH STATE SINCE BEING
ELECTED IN 2008.
PLUS SYRIA'S CIVIL WAR
SPILLING OVER, HOW FIGHTING
IN THAT COUNTRY COULD
THREATEN OTHER AREAS IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
Mark: AND A NEW REPORT
SHOWS MORE DEATHS DUE TO
ALZHEIMER'S.
THE TREATMENT THAT COULD
HELP REVERSE THAT TREND.
ALL THIS AND MORE TONIGHT ON
"NEWSWATCH."
PRESIDENT OBAMA LEAVES
TONIGHT FOR ISRAEL.
GOOD EVENING.
I'M MARK MARTIN.
AND I'M LORI JOHNSON.
IT IS HIS FIRST TIME
VISITING THE JEWISH STATE AS
PRESIDENT.
HE IS ALSO VISITING THE WEST
BANK AND JORDAN.
Mark: THE TRIP COMES AT
A CRITICAL TIME AND THE
MIDDLE EAST.
JENNIFER WISHON HAS MORE.
Reporter: IT HAS TAKEN
PRESIDENT OBAMA MORE THAN
FOUR YEARS TO VISIT
AMERICA'S CLOSEST ALLEY IN
THE MIDDLE EAST, AND
ISRAELIS HAVE NOTICED.
NEARLY 70% OF THEM HAVE AN
UNFAVORABLE OR HOSTILE
ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE
PRESIDENT.
AND A GALLOP POLL SHOWS
AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR ISRAEL
IS AT ITS HIGHEST LEVEL IN
MORE THAN TWO DECADES.
IF YOU'RE BENJAMIN
NETANYAHU, WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TALK TO PRESIDENT OBAMA
ABOUT?
RIGHT NOW ABOUT IRAN.
THAT'S HIS MAIN CONCERN, THE
BIGGEST THREAT TO THE NATION
OF ISRAEL.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
NETANYAHU SAID IN HIS FAMOUS
SPEECH AT THE U.N. LAST FALL
THAT THE RED LINE, THE POINT
BY WHICH IF IRAN CROSSES IT,
ISRAEL WILL NO LONGER HAVE
THE ABILITY TO STOP IRAN'S
NUCLEAR PROGRAM -- THAT RED
LINE IS APPROACHING SOME
TIME BETWEEN SPRING AND
SUMMER.
WELL, HERE WE ARE.
Reporter: AMERICAN
INTELLIGENCE INDICATES THERE
IS MORE TIME, BUT IRAN
CONTINUES TO PRESS AHEAD,
EVEN COZYING UP TO NORTH
KOREA.
IRAN HAS SEEN NORTH KOREA
TESTING NUCLEAR WARHEAD, AND
ITS SCIENTISTS WERE THERE AT
THE LAUNCH.
WHICH MEANS THIS
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IRAN
AND NORTH KOREA IS VERY
CLOSE.
Reporter: THE FIRST
THING THE PRESIDENT WILL
VISIT WHEN HE TOUCHES DOWN
ON ISRAELI SOIL IS THE
NATION'S MISSILE DEFENSE
SYSTEM, CALLED THE IRON
DOME, A SIGNAL, THE WHITE
HOUSE SAYS, OF THE
PRESIDENT'S COMMITMENT TO
THE SECURITY OF ISRAEL.
THE PRESIDENT DECIDED
AGAINST ADDRESSING ISRAEL'S
KENESIT.
INSTEAD, HE'LL TACK AT THE
JERUSALEM CONVENTION
CENTER.
HE IS EAGER TO TALK TO THEM
ABOUT AMERICA'S SUPPORT OF
ISRAEL AND THE FUTURE OF
U.S.-ISRAEL RELATIONS.
AND POLICY EXPERTS WILL BE
WATCHING CLOSELY TO SEE IF
THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP IS
HEAVIER ON OPTICS OR
SUBSTANCE.
YOU CAN'T JU JUST VISIT
THE WESTERN WALL AND PRAY
AND VISIT THE SHRINE OF THE
BOOK AND EAT A FALAFAL, AND
MAKE EVERYONE FEEL HAPPY.
Reporter: HOW BIG OF A
DEAL IS IT FOR THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES TO
VISIT A FOREIGN COUNTRY?
IT IS AN ENORMOUS SYMBOL
AND SIGNAL TO BOTH THE
COUNTRY THAT HE VISITS AND
THE COUNTRIES AROUND IT.
Reporter: THE LAST
THING THE PRESIDENT WILL DO
BEFORE LEAVING ISRAEL AND
THE WEST BANK ON FRIDAY IS
TO VISIT THE CHURCH OF THE
NATIVITY IN BETHLEHEM.
A WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL SAYS
THE PRESIDENT HOPES HIS
VIDEO BRINGS ATTENTION TO
THE PERSECUTION OF
CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE
EAST AND THE NEED TO PROTECT
RELIGIOUS MINORITIES.
JENNIFER WISHON, CBN NEWS,
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mark: DAVID REUBEN IS
THE FORMER MAYOR OF SHILOH,
ISRAEL.
AND HE IS NOW AN ISRAELI
POLITICAL ANALYST AND AUTHOR
OF THE NEW BOOK, "PEACE FOR
PEACE."
HE JOINS US WITH MORE.
DAVID, THE PRESIDENT IS IN
HIS SECOND TERM AND ONLY NOW
IS MAKING A TRIP TO ISRAEL.
TALK A LITTLE ABOUT THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT?
WELL, THE FACT THAT
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS NOT BEEN
TO ISRAEL SINCE 2008 IS A
STATEMENT.
THE PRESIDENT, ON HIS FIRST
FOREIGN POLICY VISIT, WENT
TO CAIRO, EGYPT, AND TO
ISTANBUL, TURKEY, WHERE HE
SPOKE ABOUT HIS AFFINITY FOR
ISLAM AND THE QURAN, AND HIS
BACKGROUND IN INDONESIA,
WHERE HE HAS NEVER, SINCE
BECOMING PRESIDENT, REACHED
OUT TO THE ISRAELI PEOPLE.
SO IN THIS TRIP, IT SEEMS
LIKE THAT IS WHAT HE IS
TRYING TO DO.
THAT IS HIS MAIN GOAL.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM
PRESIDENT OBAMA ON THIS
VISIT?
TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
THAT.
WHAT WILL BE THE MAIN
TOPICS, DO YOU THINK, THAT
HE'LL DISCUSS DURING THE
TRIP?
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE
SEEING A VERY WARM AND FUZZY
TRIP ON THE SURFACE.
VERY TOUCHY-FEELY, REACHING
OUT TO THE ISRAELI PEOPLE,
TRYING TO SHOW HE IS A
FRIEND OF ISRAEL.
AND WE'LL HEAR STATEMENTS
SUCH AS THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN
ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES
IS ROCK SOLID, THAT THERE BE
UNBREAKABLE BONDS BETWEEN
OUR TWO COUNTRIES.
WHILE IN PRIVATE, I THINK
THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT
OF INTENSE PRESSURE ON PRIME
MINISTER NETANYAHU, ON THE
ISRAELI GOVERNMENT, TO
WITHDRAW FROM THIS
HEARTLAND.
YOU NOTICE IN MY BOOK,
"PEACE FOR PEACE," WHICH
JUST CAME OUT -- THE REASON
IT IS CALLED "PEACE FOR
PEACE," BECAUSE LAND FOR
PEACE, TO FORCE ISRAEL TO
GIVE UP ITS BIBLICAL
HEARTLAND, TO CREATE A
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY STATE,
WHICH WOULD BE A TERRORIST
STATE -- THAT APPROACH OF
LAND FOR PEACE HASN'T
WORKED.
AND THAT'S THE APPROACH THAT
PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE
CONTINUING TO PRESSURE PRIME
MINISTER NETANYAHU FOR, BUT
I BELIEVE IT IS A BIG
MISTAKE.
Mark: OKAY, ONCE AGAIN,
DAVID REUBEN, THE MAYOR OF
SHILOH, ISRAEL.
THE NEW BOOK IS "PEACE FOR
PEACE," CHECK IT OUT AT YOUR
LOCAL BOOKSTORE.
DAVID, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
TODAY.
THANK YOU.
PEACE BE WITH YOU.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE BACKING
A SYRIAN CLAIM THAT REBELS
HAVE USED CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
IT IS REPORTING REBELS FIRED
A ROCKET WITH CHEMICAL
WEAPONS IN NORTHERN ALEPPO,
KILLING AT LEAST 25 PEOPLE
AND WOUNDING A NUMBER OF
OTHERS.
THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT IS
ALSO BELIEVED TO HAVE A
LARGE ARSENAL OF CHEMICAL
WEAPONS.
WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN JAY
CARNE SAYS THE U.S. IS
LOOKING AT ALLEGATIONS THAT
BOTH SIDES ARE USING SUCH
WEAPONS, BUT SAYS HE IS
SKEPTICAL OF ANY CLAIMS MADE
BY THE SYRIAN REGIME.
SYRIA WILL BE A TOP ISSUE
DURING PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
VISIT TO ISRAEL.
THE U.S. IS ARMING REBEL
FORCES AND MAY BE HELPING
TRAIN THEM IN JORDAN.
NOW SOME OF THOSE SAME
GROUPS ARE THREATENING TO
INVADE ISRAEL.
OUR MIDDLE EAST BUREAU CHIEF
CHRIS MITCHELL EXPLAINS.
Reporter: TWO YEARS OF
SYRIAN CIVIL WAR HAVE KILLED
70,000.
NOW FIGHTING THREATENS TO
SPILL OVER INTO SURROUNDING
COUNTRIES, INCLUDING
ISRAEL.
SYRIA IS DETERIORATING
FROM ANY POINT OF VIEW.
THE ORGANS OF THE REGIME ARE
TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL, AND A
LARGE AREA ARE TODAY PREY
FOR ALL OF THE MALITIAS.
Reporter: WELL THE WEST
AGREES A SHIITE REGIME MUST
GO, THE JIHADIS COULD BE
JUST AS BAD.
BOTH ARE BAD.
BOTH ARE ABUSING WOMEN.
Reporter: THE FIGHTING
WITHIN SYRIA HAS REACHED ALL
THE WAY TO ISRAEL'S
BORDERS.
BELOW THIS RIDGE, THE SYRIAN
ARMY AND REBEL FORCES HAVE
BEEN FIGHTING FOR CONTROL
OVER THIS VILLAGE.
JUST OVER THE HILL IS
ABSHAD.
HE TEACHES THERAPEUTIC
HORSEBACK RIDING HERE.
IT IS ISRAEL'S CLOSEST
COMMUNITY TO SYRIA, ONLY
ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THE
BORDER.
WE HEAR BOMBS.
WE HEAR SNIPERS, WE HEAR
THEM ALL THE TIME.
BUT THEY ACTUALLY -- THE
LIFE IS GOING ON.
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE.
Reporter: RECENTLY
REBEL FORCES KIDNAPPED 21
U.N. PEACEKEEPERS, HOLDING
THEM THREE DAYS IN THIS
VILLAGE.
WHILE THEY WERE RELEASED
UNHARMED, THEIR 40-YEAR
MISSION HERE IS IN
SHAMBLES.
SEVERAL COUNTRIES HAVE
WITHDRAWN THEIR TROOPS, AND
OTHERS MAY FOLLOW.
POTENTIALLY LEAVING A
DANGEROUS AREA IN CHAOS.
JIHADIS RELEASED THIS
INTERNET VIDEO BLAMING ASSAD
AND HIS FATHER BEFORE HIM,
FOR NOT FIRING A SINGLE SHOT
ON THE GOLAN HEIGHTS IN 40
YEARS.
BUT MIDDLE EAST EXPERT,
DR. MORTIKI, SAYS THAT IS
NOT ALL.
AFTER THEY TAKE CARE OF
US IN SYRIA, THEY WILL GO TO
TAKE OUT NAFALLA, FROM HIS
HOME IN THE GROUND, AND TO
KILL HIM.
AND THIS WILL BE ON THE WAY
TO JERUSALEM, TO LIBERATE
JERUSALEM FROM THE ZIONISTS
AND THE JEWS.
Reporter: THE GOLAN
HEIGHTS SITS 40 MILES FROM
DAMASCUS, EGYPT TOOK THE
PLATEAU DURING THE 1967.
SIX-DAY WAR, AND IT HAS BEEN
ISRAEL'S QUIETEST BORDER FOR
NEARLY TWO DECADES.
BUT HE SAYS THAT COULD BE
CHANGING.
THEY'LL INFILTRATE.
THEY'LL CARRY OUT A TERROR
ATTACK.
IT IS A QUESTION OF TIME
BECAUSE THERE IS NO LEADER.
THERE IS NO AUTHORITY.
NO LAW THERE.
EVERYONE IS DOING WHAT'S IN
HIS OWN HEAD.
Reporter: SO WHILE
ISRAEL WANTS TO MAINTAIN
QUIET ON THE BORDER, THE
CHAOS IN SYRIA FORCES ISRAEL
TO BE READY FOR WAR.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
THE GOLAN HEIGHTS.
Mark: TERRORISTS
LAUNCHED A WAVE OF BOMBINGS
TO MARK THE 10th
ANNIVERSARY OF THE WAR IN
IRAQ.
IT KILLED AT LEAST 65 PEOPLE
AND WOUNDING MORE THAN 200.
IT LOOKED LIKE THE WORK OF
al-QAEDA IN IRAQ.
THEY'RE JUST THE LATEST
EVIDENCE THAT INSURGENTS
REMAIN A SERIOUS THREAT TO
IRAQ'S SECURITY AND
LONG-TERM STABILITY.
A MORTER EXPLOSION KILLS
SEVEN MARINES AND INJURED A
HALF DOZEN MORE DURING AN
EXPLOSION AT A TRAINING
EXERCISE IN NEVADA.
IT IS BASED OUT OF CAMP
LEJUNE.
IT IS UNCLEAR IF THE MORTER
EXPLODED PREMATURELY INSIDE
THE FIRING TUBE OR IF MORE
THAN A SINGLE ROUND
EXPLODED.
THE PENTAGON HAS PLACED A
WORLDWIDE HALT ON THE WEAPON
UNTIL FURTHER
INVESTIGATION.
Mark: HOUSE DEMOCRATS
HAVE PUT TOGETHER A BUDGET
FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
IT RAISES $1.2 TRILLION IN
NEW TAXES OVER THE NEXT 10
YEARS.
THE PLAN WOULD BRING IN THE
MONEY BY GETTING RID OF TAX
BREAKS FOR BUSINESSES AND
INDIVIDUALS.
DEMOCRATS SAY THEIR BUDGET
FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING THE
ECONOMY AND GROWING JOBS,
BUT HOUSE REPUBLICANS SAY
THE PLAN IS NOT SERIOUS.
THE G.O.P. SAYS ITS PLAN
WOULD GET RID OF THE FEDERAL
DEFICIT WITHIN A DECADE.
A BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS
WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN A
GUN CONTROL MEASURE SET TO
GO TO THE NO ONE FLOOR NEXT
MONTH.
THE BAN WAS ONE OF FOUR
APPROVED BY THE SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, BUT NOW
HARRY REID HAS DECIDED TO
REMOVE IT FROM THE LARGER
BILL.
IT WILL BE ADDED AS AN
AMENDMENT, AND THAT ALL BUT
GUARANTIES THE ASSAULT
WEAPON BAN WILL FAIL TO
BECOME LAW.
DIANNE FEINSTEIN SPONSORED
THE BAN AND SAYS SHE VERY
MUCH REGRETS REID'S DECISION
TO DROP IT.
Mark: COMING UP, THE
POPE OF THE PEOPLE ATTRACTS
WORLD LEADERS FOR HIS
INAUGURAL MASS.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE GATHERED IN ROME
TODAY FOR POPE FRANCIS'
INAUGURAL MASS.
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN WAS
AMONG THE POLITICAL AND
RELIGIOUS LEADERS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD. THE
266th POPE RODE AROUND FOR
ALMOST A HALF HOUR GREETING
PEOPLE IN HIS POPEMOBILE.
AT ONE POINT HE ASKED THE
DRIVER TO STOP SO HE COULD
GREET A SEVERELY DISABLED
MAN.
THAT, PERHAPS, IS THE
MOST STRIKING THING.
THE FACT WITH ALL OF THESE
DIGNITARIES HERE, THE JEEP
OF THE POPE STOPS SO HE CAN
GREET A SEVERELY HANDICAPPED
PERSON.
I THINK THAT SUMS IT ALL
UP.
IN HIS HOMILY, POPE
FRANCIS SPOKE ON MERCY,
TENDERNESS, AND A DESIRE TO
FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE
POOR.
HE CONCLUDED BY ASKING FOR
PRAYERS FOR HIMSELF.
Mark: HERE AT HOME,
ANOTHER CHRISTIAN GROUP HAS
BEEN BOOTED FROM A COLLEGE
CAMPUS.
THIS TIME IT IS INTERVARSITY
CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AT
ROLLANS COLLEGE IN ORLANDO,
FLORIDA.
THE COLLEGE WAS TRYING TO
FORCE THEM TO ALLOW ANY
STUDENT TO BE A LEADER IN
THEIR GROUP, EVEN IF THEY
DON'T SHARE THEIR BIBLICAL
BELIEFS.
THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT
VANDERBILT AND SEVERAL OTHER
COLLEGES.
ROLLANS IS INVOKING STUDENT
FUNDING.
GROUP LEADERS SAY THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO SEARCH STUDENTS
AS AN OFF-CAMPUS MOVEMENT AT
ROLLANS.
SOME OF THE GREATEST
MOVEMENTS OF GROWTH IN THE
GLOBAL CHURCH HAVE BEEN
DURING PERIODS OF
CHRISTIANITY BEING ILLEGAL
AND UNDERGROUND, THEY SAY.
GOD IS SOVEREIGN, AND THERE
IS NO AUTHORITY ON HEAVEN OR
EARTH THAT CAN SUPERSEDE
HIM.
Lori: UP NEXT, WHY MORE
AND MORE SENIOR DEATHS ARE
BEING BLAMED ON
ALZHEIMER'S.
Mark: ALZHEIMER'S
DEATHS IN THE U.S. ARE ON
THE RISE.
BETWEEN THE YEARS 2000 AND
2010, ALZHEIMER'S DEATHS
INCREASED BY 68%.
ONE REASON FOR THE RISE,
DEATHS FROM OTHER CAUSES
LIKE HEART DISEASE AND
CANCER ARE GOING DOWN.
STILL, THE ALZHEIMER'S
ASSOCIATION REPORTS THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE OVER 65 WHO
GET THE DISEASE WILL MORE
THAN DOUBLE BY 2050 WITHOUT
TREATMENT BREAKTHROUGHS.
RESEARCHERS SAY MORE FUNDING
IS NEEDED TO MAKE A DENT IN
SLOWING, PREVENTING, AND
TREATING ALZHEIMER'S.
BUT COULD THERE BE A SIMPLE
AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR
THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE?
AS LORI HAS REPORTED IN THE
PAST, THE ANSWER MIGHT BE
COCONUT OIL.
Lori: MORE THAN FIVE
MILLION PEOPLE WATCHED THAT
REPORT ON OUR CBN NEWS
WEBSITE, AND NOW SOME
HEAVY-HITTERS IN THE
ALZHEIMER'S MEDICAL
ESTABLISHMENT ARE ALSO
TAKING NOTICE.
STEVE NEWPORT'S ALZHEIMER'S
SYMPTOMS REVERSED AFTER HE
STARTED TAKING COCONUT OIL.
HIS WIFE DOCUMENTED STEVE'S
ASTOUNDING PROGRESS IN HER
BOOK "ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE,
WHAT IF THERE WAS A CURE?"
THIS CLOCK TEST ILLUSTRATES
HIS DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT.
HERE IS HIS CLOCK DRAWING
BEFORE THE COCONUT OIL.
TWO WEEKS INTO THE
TREATMENT, HE DREW THIS AND
LOOK AT THE CHANGE AFTER
FIVE WEEKS.
STEVE'S STORY SPREAD LIKE
WILDFIRE AND HIS WIFE IS
BUSY GATHERING THE
REACTION.
SOME OF THESE RESPONSES
HAVE BEEN QUITE DRAMATIC.
AND I DO HAVE A COLLECTION
NOW OF ALMOST 220 REPORTS,
MOSTLY FROM CARE-GIVERS AND
SOME FROM THE PERSON
THEMSELVES REPORTING THAT
THEY SAY IMPROVEMENT AFTER
THEY STARTED TAKING COCONUT
OIL.
Lori: ALL OF THESE
TESTIMONIALS ARE TURNING THE
ALZHEIMER'S COMMUNITY ON ITS
EAR.
FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE WORLD
REKNOWN BIRD ALZHEIMER'S
INSTITUTE, PEOPLE CAN'T STOP
TALKING ABOUT THEM.
WHEN A PATIENT OR A
FAMILY MEMBER COMES IN WITH
A PATIENT, AND THEY'RE
INTERVIEWING WITH THE
PHYSICIANS, THEY ALWAYS HAVE
A QUESTION: I'VE HEARD ABOUT
COCONUT OIL; WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH THAT?
AND AT LEAST UP UNTIL THIS
TIME, ALL WE CAN SAY IS
THERE IS ANECDOTAL
INFORMATION IT MAY BE
BENEFICIAL.
THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY KIND
OF RESEARCH STUDY THAT HAS
EVER BEEN DONE.
Lori: THAT IS ABOUT TO
CHANGE, WITH THE INSTITUTE'S
FIRST STUDY OF HOW COCONUT
OIL AFFECTS HUMAN BEINGS
WITH ALZHEIMER'S.
IF THE STUDY FINDS EVIDENCE
THAT COCONUT OIL HELPS,
DOCTORS WILL FINALLY HAVE
THE PROOF THEY NEED TO BEGIN
RECOMMENDING IT TO THEIR
PATIENTS.
I THINK THEY FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE MAKING A
RECOMMENDATION OF SOMETHING
THAT THEY DON'T FEEL
JUSTIFIED BY THE SCIENCE
BEHIND IT.
AND THAT'S PART OF THE
REASON WE'RE GOING TO DO THE
STUDY, IS TO DETERMINE CAN
WE THEN PROVIDE THAT
JUSTIFICATION.
Lori: HERE IS HOW IT
APPEARS THE COCONUT OIL
WORKS: IN PATIENTS WITH
ALZHEIMER'S, INSULIN
RESISTANCE PREVENTS THEIR
BRAIN CELLS FROM ACCEPTING
ACCEPTING GLUCOSE, THEIR
PRIMARY FUEL.
WITHOUT IT, THE CELLS DIE.
BUT THERE IS AN ALTERNATE
FUEL, KNOWN AS KETONES,
WHICH CELLS EASILY ACCEPT.
THEY ARE METABOLIZED IN THE
LIVER AFTER EATING COCONUT
OIL.
INSULIN RESISTANCE DOESN'T
JUST AFFECT PEOPLE WITH
ALZHEIMER'S, BUT ALSO FOLKS
WITH DEMENTIA, M.S.,
DIABETES, PARKINSON'S,
A.L.S., AND EVEN AUTISM.
SO CAN COCONUT OIL HELP
THESE PEOPLE, TOO?
IT APPEARS SO.
AT LEAST SOME OF THEM.
DOCTORS DIAGNOSED SAM STOUT
WITH PARKINSON'S DISEASE
SEVEN YEARS AGO.
HE SOON BEGAN LOSING THE
ABILITY TO PERFORM MANY
FUNCTIONS.
BUT FIVE MONTHS AGO HE
STARTED TAKING COCONUT OIL,
AND HIS LIFE CHANGED AGAIN.
I CAN NOW WRITE.
I'VE WRITTEN LETTERS, WHICH
I HADN'T DONE IN THREE
YEARS.
I HAVE -- I CAN SWIRL A WINE
GLASS.
I CAN BEAT AN EGG.
I CAN GRATE CHEESE -- ALL OF
THESE THINGS I COULDN'T DO.
I THINK I HAVE BETTER
BALANCE.
Lori: HE ALSO NOTICED
BETTER MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL
IMPROVEMENT.
I THINK I'M MORE CLEAR
CLEAR-HEADED.
PEOPLE HAVE SAID TO ME YOU
LOOK GREAT THIS YEAR.
I CAN ONLY TRIBUT ATTRIBUTE
IT TO THE COCONUT OIL
BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY
THING THAT CHANGED.
Lori: THEN THERE IS
BUTCH, AN AMERICAN LIVING IN
MEXICO CITY, AND HE SUFFERED
WITH A.L.S. FOR ALMOST FIVE
YEARS, AND SAYS HIS SYMPTOMS
HAVE REVERSED, THANKS TO
COCONUT OIL.
YEAH, I CAN PICK UP --
YEAH.
AND THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I
HAD DIFFICULTY WITH THAT.
NOT JUST PICKING IT UP, BUT
JUST HOLDING ON TO IT, AND
GETTING AHOLD OF IT.
GETTING MY FINGERS TO GO
AROUND IT.
AND THAT'S GONE.
Lori: WHILE BUTCH ISN'T
WALKING PERFECTLY, HIS LEGS
ARE STRONGER AND ABOUT TO
GET EVEN BETTER.
I HAVE BAD KNEES FROM THE
PAST, OKAY?
BUT NOW, OKAY, I'VE IMPROVED
ENOUGH THAT THE DOCTORS HAVE
SAID THAT I QUALIFY FOR A
NEW KNEE IN MY LEFT LEG.
Lori: SO WHILE NOT
EVERYONE HAS EXPERIENCED
GREAT RESULTS WITH COCONUT
OIL, THERE ARE PLENTY WHO
HAVE.
ENOUGH THAT THE MEDICAL
COMMUNITY WILL SPEND TIME
AND MONEY LEARNING EXACTLY
WHO IT HELPS AND WHY.
Mark: WOW, LORI, THAT
IS AMAZING.
IT IS SO WONDERFUL YOU'RE
GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT
THIS.
Lori: A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE SO INTERESTED I IN
COCONUT OIL.
AND I GET E-MAILS, WHERE CAN
I BUY IT?
YOU CAN GET IT AT EVERY
STORE.
MAKE SURE IT IS PURE, NOT
HID HIDE DROCH
HYDROGENATED.
AND JUST MELT IT AND TAKE A
COUPLE TABLESPOONS A DAY.
Mark: THAT'S GREAT.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Mark: CONSUMERS MAY BE
SEEING A LOT MORE TAGS
CLAIMING TO BE "MADE EN THE
U.S.A.."
Lori: THAT'S THANKS TO
ONE UNEXPECTED AMERICAN
CITY, DETROIT.
THE CITY ONCE KNOWN FOR ITS
AMERICAN INDUSTRIALISM HAS
RECENTLY FALLEN ON HARD
TIMES.
THE COMPANY PURCHASED THE
NAME FROM THE DEFUNCT SHOE
POLISH COMPANY.
HE PLANS TO MOVE ON TO
BIGGER ITEMS LIKE BICYCLES
AND LEATHER PRODUCTSMENT.
BY AND LARGE, ALL WATCHES
ARE MADE IN SWITZERLAND OR
ASIA, SPECIFICALLY.
AND MADE IN THE U.S.A. IS
SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN
DONE IN A WHILE.
BRINGING IT BACK HOME, WE
THINK IS IMPORTANT.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO
THE CONSUMER.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT
DETROIT FOUND US BECAUSE
EVERYTHING FELL IN PLACE FOR
US TO BE ABLE TO BUILD OR
FACTORY AND TELL OUR STORY
FROM HERE.
Lori: IN ABOUT 60 DAYS,
THE WATCH ASSEMBLY WILL
BEGIN.
MADE IN AMERICA.
Mark: HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
AND WE'LL HAVE TO SEE HOW
THINGS TAKE OFF.
THAT'S ALL FOR THIS EDITION
OF "NEWSWATCH."
