What a joy it was to interview Dr. Scharffenberg! Who else loves his laughter and smiles? 🤩
Michelle Cen,
Please forgive me but your laughter and smiles are more beautiful than those of Dr. Scharffenberg.
Great interview!
@@johndoe9362 Cmon dude
We should get Dr. Sharffenberg and Nick Offerman in a room and make them laugh. It would be a chorus of giggles
@@fahrenheigh Yes how dare he compliment someone
His laugh is full of fun, very nice interview ty.
My dad is almost 94. Takes no medication. He became vegetarian in his 60's. Walks every day, took up guitar in his 70s.. sings and still travels with his lady friends. Never smoked or drank. 🎉 celebrate life every day. Every morning is a gift from God. ❤
But can he lift 50#, 30 times a day , 5 days a week...without straining???
Meat is what strengthens the body for work like farming, carpentry, and hanging on a cross.
You don't hang by your wrists and toes without enormous body strength.
@bethwalters1772 Your comment is full of nonsense, I'm afraid
Humans will live forever after death. This life is temporary. True life is the life after death. Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in hereafter life.
God Almighty says,
“Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose) and that you would not be brought back to Us?”
(Quran 23:115)
From above verse, we can conclude, we were indeed created for a purpose beyond that of simply play and enjoyment in this life. We have the purpose of life that we should know and have to live life according to that purpose.
God almighty describes purpose of this life,
I have not created the jinn and the men except for this that they should worship Me. I do not ask any sustenance of them, nor do I ask them to feed Me. Allah Himself is the Sustainer, Possessor of power and might.
Quran 51 (56-58)
From the ayah, it is clear that the creation of humans, as well as jinns, is for the purpose of worshiping Allah Almighty.
We believe that there is only One Creator Who created us and we acknowledged Him, we all know that He created us (humankind) to serve Him. There is a reason behind the creation of this world and humankind.
If you worship Allah then it's for your own benifit. Because we don't have that much power. Allah sustains us. He feed every single creature on the face of the earth. We all are dependent on Him.
God almighty says,
We have not created the heavens and the earth and whatever lies between them merely in sport: We have created them with the truth, but most of them do not know. For the resurrection of them all, the appointed time is the Day of Decision.
Qur'an 44 (38:40)
The day of Decision means the day of Judgment when Allah almighty will gather all Mankind starting from First to the last. Allah almighty will resurrect them which means Allah will give us life after death.
And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his final revelation Qur'an then we will be given eternal life in Paradise.
Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Hell or Paradise depending upon the good deeds.Hereafter life is true life we all should work for that life not for that which is temporary.
The people of Paradise will visit one another, recognise one another and meet one another in the Gardens of delights. This is part of the perfect delight of the people of Paradise. There is nothing to prevent someone of a lower status in Paradise from visiting one who is above him, as also happens in this world.
God almighty speaks about life after death,
As regards those, who believe and do good deeds, We will admit them into Gardens underneath which canals flow, wherein they will abide for ever. This promise of Allah is true and who can be truer in his word than Allah?
Qur'an 4 (122)

@@CuriousCat0347 Beth, trolls are an unhealthy group as we recognize, and you're wading deep into that style of murk. Or do you consider it 'humor'. Get help.
I was able to work with Dr Scharffenburg about 20yrs ago when I was a young doctor and we did a few community health seminars together. I was just thinking about him and wondering if he was still alive. It's SO good to see him still doing what he loves best. Thank you for sharing; you have made my day!
I bet he would love to hear from you. Older people usually love to talk to people
This is so good to hear❤
Hi, do you have his waffle recipe?
Oh, that's so wonderful❤
Great respect of our elders🙏
Would love the waffle recipe?
He presents as limber; bright-eyed; is well-read; cognitively alert; hears well; communicates clearly; has critical thinking; cites medical journals & biblical wisdom; appropriately engaged socially & when he ways: "we need to have doctors properly educated in nutrition", gives wonderful insight & appears comfortably bilingual (in Chinese!) & his giggle is delightful! ❤ Wow!
Yes, he is a wonder!
many vegans, many meat eaters, and many smokers are just like that too.
Yep, despels that whole idea, we have to get old and wither. We just have to take better care of ourselves 🍎
Man’s sharp as hell for 100. True inspiration.
Although I wouldn't say hell was very sharp........
it's sharp enough
Honestly, he’s sharp as hell for pretty much any age. What a legend
@@bensuperdetka Agreed! 😀
Sounds very sharp to me! He's in superb health!
He keeps saying "it's exciting!" I guess that's one reason why he lives long: curiosity, life long learning, eager to solve problems and help others .. RESPECT and Admiration!
THIS is a very good point! Got to have the will power!
Very true
That sure is a good reason to live. Ive seen several cases already where people retired and only then, they began to decline rapidly because they were lacking purpose and something to do. Curiosity and purpose are important
And joy! he laughs all the time
Yeah, this curiosity keeped him far from the bad habbits 😅
If you can laugh and giggle, put coherent sentences together at 99 ...what else can one wish for ?
What a splendid human being ❤
I can't do that at the age of 31. 😢
❤❤❤thanks so much.
Please bottle up and sell his laughter, it’s priceless. ❤🎉😂
Can't do it and I'm 22
I saw this by accident. I can’t express how lucky I am to listen to this amazing man. The young girl who interviewed did a wonderful job. Learnt a lot about how to live a healthy life. Thank you so much Doctor. Bless you.
Thank you ♥
100% agree, I think it is not easy to talk to a huge personality, she was so respectful and sweet as well as the other interviewer. Good job
❤
The man is 100 years old and is having a conversation for an hour sitting on a wooden bench and spreading his knowledge and experience as well, amazing! Also, his demeanour is brilliant, always smiling, curious and very down to earth. Thank you
I kept wondering if he was getting stiff and tired of sitting on a wooden bench… nope! And he showed no struggle when getting up and walking around afterward!
Exactly
My mom is 101 and she's barely able to do anything at all. She needs round the clock care. But she sure lived a long life.
Thanks .GOD BLESS YOU ❤
My grandma is 97, lives by herself in her house. As I live abroad, we talk on the phone. We spend easily 2 to 3 hours. She mainly talks and I listen, because she likes to talk about the old times, her childhood before the war, then during the war, then after the war when she met my grandpa, etc…. We also talk about cooking recipes, what we watch on tv, the family, the neighbors, etc….
As a cardiac surgeon, in his early thirties. I have to admit, he’s in far better shape than many of my patients in their 50s. Bless his soul.
Bless you for the lifesaving work you do!
Thank you, much obliged. That’s awfully kind of you 🙏
Okay, Mr Cardiac Surgeon, but what are the underlying causes?
indeed, Mr Cardiac Surgeon, should i leave my beer, wine, wisky and just drink water instead?
As a cardiac surgeon, I sure hope you are educating your patients, your peers, your employer, and anyone else whose path you cross about lifestyle "musts" to have a healthy heart (as well as other parts!)! If you're NOT doing that, you are selling out your patients. I hope you're doing the right thing.
He’s so sharp and quick witted. God bless him.
This interview was a privilege and honor to listen to a man who truly has the education, span of experience over a span of time. That’s a amazing interview. Love his laughter!
It’ll not just the diet… Look at his mental framework, he’s the ultimate optimist! Also: he does only 2 meals per day and undergoes a long period of fasting; his mantra “when hungry, drink a glass of water “. He kept himself physically and mental active. He uses food to support his whole being and therefore he needs small portions of very nutritious foods. Look how frugal his food stack was; he has massive respect and appreciation for food. It’s the combination of all these dimensions that got him to 100 years. Not just one thing… ❤
Thanks for this beautiful summary 💖
Astute observation.
So true!
That's right!
Also his Seven Day Adventist beliefs and community. Read Ellen's Whites Book The Ministry of Healing. He has devoted himself to God and thought of other people more than himself.. he was born in Shanghai.What were his parents doing there?
@@michelle_cen Great interview Michelle.Insightful and interesting.Years ago I read a 25 year study byDrs on Okinawa,which had the largest amount of Centenarians in the world.Great man .Thank you -Gareth Morris.
He is a rare person who is healthy in mind, body and spiritually. Happy, charitable and a blessing to mankind. Cheers.
Truly wholesome without all the ego. Refreshing. No virtue signaling just walking the walk.
Indeed ! A true blessing to mankind.

Original Sin means 100% of all humans are 100% guilty of 100% of all cannibalism Jeffrey Dahmer-ism Dr. Frankenstein-ism Adolf Hitlerism joint amputations diagnoses and treatment there's no such entity as hypertension or high cholesterol or dementia or Alzheimer's or bunions or neuroscientists or doctors were role-playing hiding the fact that we are what we are in our history reveals what we do which is pedophilia hate rape child abuse cannibalism baby killing abortions abandonment living children cook to death in hot cars during the summertime and freeze to death doing the winter time because mom's gotta go do blowjobs. To make money that don't exist. Yet moms and dads insist money rules the world makes the world go round.
Nope the world goes around all by itself no human intervention.
I am a self-appointed child protector I am attempting to get children off the bottom of the food chain and thanks to Adolf Hitler shutting down hospitals literally slaughterhouses children are being poisoned body parts harvested to be reprocessed into Viagra Cialis DDT plutonium methamphetamine crack cocaine artificial joints silicone breasts silicone butts so what it means to be human is how we decide to replicate clone each other: Masturbate procreate versus rape procreate is the question.
Dude….Japanese people live to be One-Hundred.
My grandmother smoked like a chimney and she was obese. She didn't eat veggies and didn't exercise. She lived to 103. She never had cancer, diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, nothing. But she was totally calm and laid back. It was her personality. You either have it or you don't.
IT IS luck.
Was she blood type 0?
When was she born or rather how much of her life did she live after the 80s? How much processed food? The current thinking is that the Standard American Diet has changed health dramatically to the negative.
I agree, my mom is 102 next month, she never ate veggies or anything green. She ate fried food, McDonald’s !, & snacked on cookies, muffins, cream puffs, chips, bagged salty snacks … she walked everywhere … but never exercised. She didn’t even go to the garden , she sat & watched TV . Also no high blood pressure , no medications ! She didn’t worry about anything either , total narcissistic
@@Moms1958 Happy Birthday to your mom!!! 102 is amazing! What do you see as some of the contributions to her longevity?
Credit due to the very respectful, dignified, and informed interviewer!
Thank you, that means a lot ❤
Wow that is the youngest 100 year I’ve ever seen…. Just amazing! ❤❤❤
Summary of advice given by Dr. John Scharffenberg:
1. Eat at the proper time, avoid snacking, and consume a variety of natural, non-processed foods in quantities for ideal weight.
2. Follow a vegetarian or lacto ovo vegetarian diet, emphasizing a variety of plant-based foods.
3. Avoid tobacco and alcohol.
4. Engage in regular exercise and maintain a healthy weight.
5. Be cautious of excessive meat and sugar intake.
6. Control high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.
7. Prioritize lifestyle changes over medication, especially for cardiovascular health.
Other interesting facts shared in the video:
1. Dr. Scharffenberg is a 99-year-old Adventist vegetarian.
2. Studies have shown an association between increased meat intake, particularly beef, and higher risk of lymph gland cancer.
3. Avoiding seven lifestyle risk factors can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes: tobacco, alcohol, inactivity, overweight, excessive meat consumption, excessive sugar consumption, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol.
4. Cholesterol level alone is not a reliable indicator of heart health, and lifestyle factors have a significant impact on cardiovascular disease risk.
5. Controversies exist in the field of nutrition, including conflicts of interest and lack of nutrition education for doctors.
Informational sources and authors mentioned:
1. Dr. Alan Cunningham - Author of books on longevity and the association between meat intake and lymph gland cancer.

Thank you Chuck Norris for synopsis. And thank you Michelle Cen for being a great interviewer, asking interesting questions and not interrupting. 0:54
Thank you for generously taking the time to capture and share all what was said!!! Very helpful !!!
Thanks!! :) :)
Meat is only an issue when it's fed crap, and filled with antibiotics and other drugs. If it really was an issue, humanity would have died out a very long time ago! Always choose grass fed meat, and organic or biodynamic food.
Thank you so much
Hard to believe he's 100. By observing him, how well-put he is mentally, and how energetic he is, you'd think he was maybe 80.
Alot of poeple cant even walk or talk at 80 and probably have dementia
I can't believe how sharp he still is at his age! He kept whipping out statistics. His memory is better than most people decades younger
OMG. How sharp he still is. It's just phenomenal to see him making so much sense at this age. And such awesome personality he has. It felt as if he's my family. I smiled whe he smiled. I laughed when he laughed. God bless this sweet grandpa
Finally I'm validated!! I'm 80.
@@PaparoxxI’m almost 82! Drive and play water volleyball, do volunteer work and love life and my dog & cat!
Yeah, imagine if our 80 year old Presidents and political representatives had nearly as much cognitive ability as this 100 year old man. Or half the compassion.

Me too!!! He's adorable! 🥰
I love his laughter. Thats the number 1 medicine to take.
That’s not his daughter but they have a great connection for a nice interview.
When I was 8 years old, in 1977, I took my dad in Olivos, Buenos Aires, Argentina to a course to stop smoking in 5 days, my dad used to smoke 4 packs of cigarets a day. On the first day, they played a movie called "One in 20.000" after watching that movie, my dad never touch a cigaret ever again in his life up until today, we also became Adventist. How reviling was to watch this amazing interview and learn towards the end, that his father made that movie. Thank you God for having these helpers on earth. God bless you John and give you many more years of happiness!
The problem is there is not enough doctors who think like him now. All are taught to administer pills in most cases.
1. No Tobacco
2. No Alcohol
3. No Inactivity
4. No Overweight
5. Too Much Meat and Sugar is Bad
(6. High Blood Pressure)
(7. High Cholesterol)
Meat not bad depends how you cook it and eat moderation. Meat is good source of protein. Sugar is very bad.
I agree, these points are not my opinion but just a recapitulation of the video @@Bitcoin_Gold
@@Bitcoin_Gold
Maybe, consider the source of the meats and what kind it is, in the first place. For instance, eating swine or ceratin seafood, such as shrimp, catfish and lobster and other toxic meats. Even too much beef. I prefer, not to consume these particular foods.
you can get rid of high bp and high cholesterol easily just take VitD3 10,000 iu/day minimum. solved my hubbys decades of high bp in 48 hrs!
@@Bitcoin_Gold
Some meats are bad and very toxic and unclean. Doesn't matter how you cook certain meats! It is, what it is.
I wish I were his neighbor, I’d be happy to go for a walk with him every day.
Same!!
Wouldn't that be amazing! You could learn so much. Love this idea.
He radiates light. So joyful and beautiful to see. I have been going through a lot for a long time and was praying about my struggles to our Heavenly Father and this video came up on my feed and I have felt so much joy and hope and smiled so much watching and listening to him. I am not Adventist, I am Christian (I believe in Jesus Christ and salvation through faith in Him and His finished work on the cross- His death and resurrection.. and that the bible only is the inspired Word of God… although there may be truths in other writings, I take only the bible as scripture… I just wanted to point that out incase someone didn’t know the difference) and thank God for this man, and I pray he and his loved ones have true faith in Jesus Christ because I would love to meet him in eternity!
I am a nurse of 50 years and I find this man “spot on”. I have learned young about what he speaks of. I do NOT take any meds, have thorough check up / labs every year. I keep active. I have lived in the same style that the good doctor has. Thank goodness I have reaped the same rewards. I still work! Carry on sir with your messages. I know for me I am beating the system that too many people are falling victim to.
I am over 70, female, healthy and happy, still working as interpreter freelance, I am a student of holistic health and nutrition and I love life, am very keen to live a long HEALTHY life. I am curious to learn a lot more and finally have time to ponder the great questions ;-). I agree with all the good doctor says, he has the right mindset and a positive, generous attitude, I only would like to add: yes, the doctors rarely have time to ask about lifestyle, mental health, nutrition these days ...I thought with what I am studying I could encourage people of my age and the young just as well to take charge of their lives, all the points mentioned plus not to forget: community and purpose, self-efficacy, courage, curiosity, empathy. However I realise that many men and women of all ages expect the doctors and the pharmacy to provide the quick fix. The knowledge and information can be found .. but has to be applied.
It's great to see that he is still that sharp at 99. People can learn a lot from him.
He's sharp yet he doesn't take algal DHA/EPA supplements? He said he only takes vitamins B12 and D.
@@moondog7694Because he eats dairy and eggs. He should eat fish too.
It's all a crap shoot.
At this age, that he can stand tall, walk, defend his points, remember his childhood spoken language, he already set the bar *_TOO HIGH_* for me and some billions of others. We will try our best to follow your steps. Live long and be healthy, Professor.
If this generation is poisoned with bad food and toxins... doesnt mean its something super extraordinaire...
My grandfather also lived til 96, who lived thru ww2 winter war, siberian gulags @ -40c in pyjamaz for 2 weeks etc.. buried 4 wives , and solo raised my dad ettc...
our generation is just losers...
we supposed to be version 3.0 of our gene pool as males... but our fathers wqere better than us ,and its embarrasing to even compare ourselves to our grandfathers....
i thinks thats why there's so much hedonism and nihilism in society as well... inferiority complex subconciously... well the generations go in circles... we are approaching Crisis era again,
You dont have to be him. Just make 1 change and you will be in a better place.

Awww thank you!!!! ❤❤❤ I appreciate that so much 🥰
@@michelle_cen Seriously, it's just like the fox told the little prince. And yes, I could listen to it everyday till the end of time! If you know what I mean🤣🤣
I love listening to elderly people talk about their life's experiences. They have so many stories to tell.
That Mans laugh should be compulsory for anyone suffering from depression. Honestly his laugh & smile are the BEST
My great uncle went vegan at 90 and lived to 105, still sharp as a tack mentally and he had a personal trainer to the end.
Thks for the encouragement... Im 70 & just decided to start with a personal trainer.
@@philippabowles4323 People your age and above see the most benefits from weight training in terms of muscle mass than any other age group! Just keep the weights low and only increase as you see fit. I worked out as a vegan and saw the biggest gains of my life.
My friend (at 104) stated that her secret to longevity was NO VITAMINS and avoiding visits to DOCTOR'S OFFICES!
My friend who is an AVID reader of holistic medicines (which our INSURANCE companies wont' cover, of course.)
said she'd "rather pee her pants than take any STATINS" and that included pee running down the back of the horse she was riding at the time. ha . like to see a WHOLE VIDEO DEDICATEDTO this "medical push" on "manufactured statins." I put her picture as athe cover on a song titled "Her High Horse." btw.
WHAT GREAT INTERVIEW with Dr. Scharffenberg!
Being a Seventh Day Adventist Church member and in commeration of those wonderful Church Members whose RECEPIES were absolutely excellently prepare, today we made a GIANT pan full of an half of an eggplant SLICED and yes, FRIED in Canola oil, then with added real butter and spaghetti on top...I want to ask Dr. Scharffenber, why does he think we get "addicted" to the "flavor of" the fried (cooked) egg plant ? We dip the sliced egg plant (peeled, sorry?) into the egg with some milk, and coat it with Whole wheat flour... Now, whenever my daughter and I cook egg plant, we with automatically THINK of Dr. Scharffenberg! Google spell check rolls wont' correct my word. COMMERATION, but I swear it's a word! To "commerate" HONOR and respect !
Please ask the doctor where he'll be in the next few months and see if he's like to vist San Diego, California sometime soon?
Btw, in thinking that most of the BEST opera singers were always overweight, and believing that "weight "might have "added somewhat, to the physical power of the human voice..." I' asked the classical guitarist in Italy, to please back me up on my COMEDY, titled "Opera at its Worst!" The Doctor seem to have, BTW, bypassed a "dissertation upon" the healthy wine drinkers of Sicily in his diagnoses, uthink?
Well one glass of red wine, and here goes my offer !

He is doing far greater at this age then many in their 20's 😢
What a ray of light this gentleman is
I am a nurse. I have always said doctors should have courses in nutrition. Sometimes they consult their nurses because we are required to. I also believe in continuing education because new things are discovered all the time.
Absolutely!
So true I totally agree with you they should know about nutrition and apply to the patients
It's called the Medical Industry for a reason.
Well we have dietitian, don't we? That's why health practitioners must work together as a team.
Life long learning is so important. Glad you called that out.
I just loved this man. His kindness, intelligence, positivity, knowledge and his common sense. His laughter and interest in learning. What a wonderful person.
He reminds me of my grandfather, miss him so much
I agree - an amazing human being!
Dr John had reached 99 years old because he is such a jolly good fellow. I like him. He looks like he never been stressed at all. That’s probably the reason why he lived longer.
3:51 I read this sentence to myself every morning. It gives me a peace of mind.
His laugh is infectious 😂
Just love him!
He was born BEFORE the breakthrough of Penicillin!! He’s amazing. So glad I switched to plant based. Only 8 months in at 63, but i can tell a difference. Random joint pain in my hands has mostly disappeared. Im an artist-so that is especially good news to me! This interview is great. He giggles and has joy in his heart despite being a man who’s mostly lost the world that is his generation. Being so happy is a testament to his lifestyle. Thanks for this interview.
That was the thing that got to me most: his infectious positivity. 👏
If you try and have meat now does your pain flare back up. I found out that's not the case for me. I had extremely bad knee pains so I eliminated sugars and processed carbs and I'm doing fine now. No pains and I still eat fish, eggs and beef.
@@Nikkattsu The elimination of pains are one thing, but the benefits of going all in on plant based is:
1) Reduction of all cause mortality
2) Mitigation of animal cruelty
3) Much better for our planet
@CristinaAcosta i wish it had an effect on my joint pain, because yes, being an artist with sore hands is murder, but everything else HAS improved. (blood pressure, cholesterol, overall energy and mood, plus no longer overweight)
@@PlantChompers Chris, in January 2022 I asked you in the comments whether you knew of any second generation and beyond life long vegans, and you replied with the following:
"As for the question of multi-generation vegans from birth, I don't have examples so I have an email into Hans Diehl of Loma Linda University (Seventh Day Adventist) to see if he knows."
I'm still waiting for a list of names, Chris.
BTW, our good doctor is not vegan, and has never been vegan.
DR. John is so amazing. I got the opportunity to talk and laugh with him at his church which he is a member of in Sacramento for his birthday. 12/09/2023.
Terrific, so joyous lovely person. I love the way he's laughing😂❤No tobacco,no alcohol,no meat,I never take pills, lots of trekking,walking in nature and I have got dogs, always surrounded by dogs,they give me every single day lots of joy,fun and beautiful ambient😅😅😅so I have a happy healthy life❤
I love these types of elderly people. There is no faking it, the results are visible.
This doctor is amazing! He is a REAL DOCTOR, genuinely concerned about people and their health. At 100 years old, his knowledge is impeccable; we could all learn so much. THANK YOU CZcams, for this video about "real life."
Amazing interview
yes he is xxx
He isn't an MD, he's a dietician. He probably has a PhD since he taught at the University level.
@@annemccarron2281actually, he does hold an MD as well as an MPH degree.
55:29 in vid, he's an M.D. (published multiple time). I'm guessing you didn't get that far in vid.... @@annemccarron2281
Lord, may we have more men and women who love people continue this man's work.
100 years? May he live another 100 he looks so full of life and optimistic what a good man.
he's joy and laughter alone will carry him for another 20 years!
That he is SDA does not surprise me at all. It’s proven they have longer and healthier lives. He reminds me so much of my grandmother. The same type of smile and spirit. She was 91yo, SDA, & lacto-ovo vegetarian. Full of positivity and grace. Prayed virtually 24/7. Was fully independent with her ADL’s. If it wasn’t for her broken hip after a fall I reckon she would still be with us. She said she would become an astronomer once in Heaven. 😁 I miss her every single day and every time I dreamed of her I see her smiling.
I am 100% sure this is how God meant for us to live.
Yes, in addition to their healthy diet, they have something that is an important aspect to health but sometimes left out of the conversation, which is FELLOWSHIP!.
God must've love dr. scharffenberg so much, that he kept him for a very long time and gave him so much knowledge to help others, loveeee this doctor sooo mucchhh❤
Who can argue w a man that’s lived to be 99 years old and still sharp as ever?
Oh my, when he said "Now what's going to happen today? The lord is going to bring someone to me that I can help"... precious moments that grips
the heart. I love this man of a titan. I would like to follow his wisdom.
That might be my favorite sentence in this whole interview ❤
My friend (at 104) stated that her secret to longevity was NO VITAMINS and avoiding visits to DOCTOR'S OFFICES!
My friend who is an AVID reader of holistic medicines (which our INSURANCE companies wont' cover, of course.)
said she'd "rather pee her pants than take any STATINS" and that included pee running down the back of the horse she was riding at the time. ha . like to see a WHOLE VIDEO DEDICATEDTO this "medical push" on "manufactured statins." I put her picture as athe cover on a song titled "Her High Horse." btw.
WHAT GREAT INTERVIEW with Dr. Scharffenberg!
Being a Seventh Day Adventist Church member and in commeration of those wonderful Church Members whose RECEPIES were absolutely excellently prepare, today we made a GIANT pan full of an half of an eggplant SLICED and yes, FRIED in Canola oil, then with added real butter and spaghetti on top...I want to ask Dr. Scharffenber, why does he think we get "addicted" to the "flavor of" the fried (cooked) egg plant ? We dip the sliced egg plant (peeled, sorry?) into the egg with some milk, and coat it with Whole wheat flour... Now, whenever my daughter and I cook egg plant, we with automatically THINK of Dr. Scharffenberg! Google spell check rolls wont' correct my word. COMMERATION, but I swear it's a word! To "commerate" HONOR and respect !
Please ask the doctor where he'll be in the next few months and see if he's like to vist San Diego, California sometime soon?
Btw, in thinking that most of the BEST opera singers were always overweight, and believing that "weight "might have "added somewhat, to the physical power of the human voice..." I' asked the classical guitarist in Italy, to please back me up on my COMEDY, titled "Opera at its Worst!" The Doctor seem to have, BTW, bypassed a "dissertation upon" the healthy wine drinkers of Sicily in his diagnoses, uthink?
Well one glass of red wine, and here goes my offer !

My grandma just turned 98. She ate bread, fruits and veggies. She did a lot of physical work all her life. She's also curious and positive. She survived WWII and a two year famine, as a child. During the famine she ate grass.
Bless her x
@@patriciagallagher5671 thank you!🙏
If we have faced hardships we appreciate living out our lives more. I am 75 and am not on any medication. I only use eye glasses for sun protection not for sightedness or vision

Wow grass & the Grace of God
Thank you Dr, John Scharffenberg for sharing your wisdom!!! You're an amazing person! Shalom.
Such a gentleman and what an inspiration! Our world needs more like him!
Shirt and tie!
I hope I'm half as lucid as he is if I make it to 99. It's startling to see how clear his mind is.
This man...is absolutely amazing at ..nearly 100....he does not even have dementia...like my father got at 97......he even has a good sense of humour...soo wise and intelligent..
Jane Johnstone what was your father’s diet and lifestyle occupation ??
I've been gathering information on mental health, childhood trauma, longevity, diet, exercise you name it. And it took me about two years to reach some solid conclusion. Here Professor Scharffenberg summed it all up in couple simple answers. This is absolutely amazing, the wisdom he possesses.
It’s not about food or smoking or else. It’s all about attitude towards life. Look how positive he is, glowing with wit and humour. That’s the secret.
Good diet, exercise, no drinking, smoking, are all very well. But it's actually your state of consciousness that dictates the state of your body. A loving consciouness equals a healthy body!
@@niallbourke7963Not exactly both go hand in hand. You can't be putting garbage in your body and expect to have a good positive mindset..
There all important things!
The information and dates he can recall at his age is amazing. What a great interview!
Forget about other facts, i think his positivity about life and being soo happy all the times must be the reason for his long healthy life, such a delightful cheerful gentleman!🥰👍👍👍
I could listen to this man for hours
he is so cheerful... smiling and laughing... and so sharp at the age of 100!! I really enjoyed listening to his sharing...👍
I just love Dr. Scharffenberg’s pleasant personality. His lightheartedness and kind face just keeps me listening to his wonderful and truthful wisdoms.
Soms verhuisd de vrolijkheid van je hart,naar je hersenen met ouder te worden! En hij is wijs genoeg om de humor in de ernst te herkennen ,net zoals ik de ernst in zijn humor Herken!
He's adorable ❤
He is like in his 70s.
Such a lovely, warm-hearted, informative interview or more like a Grandpa-grandkid conversation. Thanks for introducing such an amazing man to us. Loved it.
yesssss right! I've seen similar podcasts/ interviews and they give lil to nothing just merely making an APPEARANCE but this wonderful young at heart sweat dear man lets it all loose. I love him for that so helpful
🎉🎉
@@yoyospaceYTl🎉😢
O
😢
I could listen to him for hours. So sweet and very intelligent. ❤
The quality of his voice and speech are remarkable for his age, not to mention the sharpness of his mind!😮 my admiration Dr. S.
One of the best interviews ive ever listened to. Shes attentive ans askes smart questions. Hes very articulative and an amazing funny guy.
Thank you :) Dr. Scharffenberg is a real pleasure to talk to.
The most important thing I learned from this interview (that he didn't say)
"Be cheerful if you want to live to be 99 and still be healthy"
Having a cheerful nature is a massive life-extender. It lowers the stress chemicals in your bloodstream. That impacts everything in your body....everything.
Exactly my thought. Nutrition is important but attitude is top most
Yeah I'm fucked then
100% agree. 😊 This made my day. I'll be giggling and smiling all day long****🌹🙏
I love his witty smile. What a treasure!!!
Even his fingers are straight! No arthritis! What an inspiration
One line for Dr. Scharffenberg......
You're an amazing person ❤️
I grew up in Loma Linda. My dad was one of his students in Public Health and also taught his 5-day stop smoking plan! It’s such a treat to see him.
tell me more about this smoking plan , please
I just love this guy!What a spirit!l wish they play this video in all high schools so kids realize how to live a great life!!Not drinking and drugging!!
I was going to watch this, but then I realised listening to a 100 year old man for over an hour when stoned is probably not the best choice to make, I'll come come back to this when I'm not high👍
I watched it while stoned. I'm glad I watched it. I watched it at 2x speed, but I always watch videos at 1.5x-2x speed. Allows me to take more information in at a quicker pace, lol. I'll watch an interview with 100+ year olds any day!
First of all thank you so much for doing this interview. This is a pure gem! This man is amazing and we can learn a lot from him. My mom is 80 and she is as goods as a healthy 60 years old. She never drank or smoke (only now she drinks a little wine 8oz max once in awhile). She take one pill for Thyroid and that’s all. She drives, oversee construction projects , travel abroad every 6 months and is always doing something around the house- no process foods and very limited on sweets. I am 40 and she is my inspiration. One day we were talking and I asked if she was ready to go and she said yes but I don’t want to because I still have a lot of projects in my head that I want to complete. That made my heart warm.❤😊
Awww!!! Sooo sweet! I observe that universally in people, they need things to do to maintain that will to live. Your mom is fabulous ❤
Great
Right on , red wine is very biblical one of the greatest substances one can ingest as well as whole grains and olive oil . All three mentioned together numerous times .
THIS PRECIOUS PHYSICIAN IS A JEWEL. THE WORLD COULD LEARN SO MUCH FROM HIM. LOVE HIS FANTASTIC ATTITUDE AND CHUCKLE. THANK U FOR THIS AWESOME INTERVIEW🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
wrong about carnivore for sure - 97 years old
He is so adorable! He will live to 200 years old!!!
What a great human being! If all people on this planet could learn from him and help each other, the world would be a beautiful place. I feel so blessed to have watched this video. Thank you Dr. Scharffenberg. The lord brought one more person to you today that you helped immensely. May God bless you always, and give you even greater health and happiness!
His laugh is absolutely infectious! Full of joy and wisdom❤ Wishing him a life full of richness and abundance for all his days to come!
His plans to train the youth as Health and Nutrition Ambassadors is a wonderful idea! He is brave to take a stand against “ pill pushers” !
Professor John Scharffenberg is a rare centenarian with wisdom, light heart and good spirituality. Thankful for his shared brilliance and inspiring demeanor. Cheers! ❤
I love how happy he is and how he keeps chuckling and smiling.
I haven't known a single person who didn’t start falling apart by the age of 78, and was dead by 85. This man is doing something right 😊
My grandpa smoked 100 cigs a day and drank booze like there was no tomorrow. He was siring children in his early 70s, travelling the world with his mistress and generally raising hell. He ate whatever he wanted, kept his mind active with debates and chess, and was surfing on the day he died at 80.
That was in 1942, when a man's average life expectancy was 60.
@@ThePlataf sounds like a real stud muffin
@@ThePlatafwow 👏he just enjoyed his life. His Way ✨
100 years young! Such a pure soul he is and his laugh is so innocent! 👌🏼
Healthy humor is the key to a happy and healthy long life . Great respect for this lovely Gentleman .
My god he’s so mentally sharp for his age. Bless that man
What a sweet and knowledgeable man. Love his smile and laugh 😀
This is the most important vlog I have ever listened to over an hour spent in this man's company is not enough, it's such a privilege thank you so much x
Wow this man is such an inspiration! I wish I will be so healthy physically and mentally at this age, bravo! 👏🏼
The professor has LIVED the life of a Public Heath Specialist and his memory, vigour, laughter is a proof of the validity of the advice he is giving. He is still learning and continues on his mission to spread the message that lifestyle is the key to a full and healthy life.
I am a public Health specialist myself in his eighties and follow the lifestyle advocated by the Professor. I suggest, from obsrvations and personal experience, that yogasanas in addition to the 2 mile walks prescribed by the Professor, plus maintaing the attitude to keep on learning, will add to the prescription. I have forwarded this interview to colleagues and relations. It must get a wide viewership.
Thank you! Yes, he's living proof of the power of lifestyle :)
Amazing that he could remember all those statistics! Best of health to you, too!
What fun to watch this man. I think one of his biggest secrets was on display every time he laughed. Enjoy living.
❤❤❤
Oh my gosh, he is sharp, quick-witted, full memory, great sense of humor....and i love it.This is so good!
dr.john is a joy for life.....i wish i lived closer to learn and share your message. my mom took up tennis at 40 and played til 70 and danced til 80 or so....unfortunately she has memory issues.....i myself am 65 and been exercising since 15......no meds for me ust exercise, dancing, golf, sewing, painting. thank you for this wonderful interview and message. fake food...processed .....drugs are hurting our nation.
Such a great interview - he’s not jus positive and sharp with a great sense of humour, he is dead honest (with compassion) in a way that many practitioners are becoming afraid to state these days - he is SO smart on point talking about ACES , obesity, exercise, etc. Notice he is not afraid to say the truth but yet does it with a lifetime of accumulated knowledge and experience, genuine kindness and humour. Wow.!!!
TACTFUL TOO! He could have easily mentioned the SUGARY SPORTS DRINKS, PEPSI AND COKE in regard to the great obseity problems we're having among our YOUTH now, but he didn't.

How can I get to meet him? He is such an inspiration! 😊
It was heartwarming to see that room full of Dr. Scharffenberg's pamphlets, he's really trying his very best to help the community around him to become a healthier place even as he's about to be 100 years old
That's what I also felt - total awe for his dedication to education ❤
@@michelle_cen yeah, and he even gives free university lectures!
*Michelle:* "So in one sentence, what should people eat?"
*John:* "Well, I'll give you a university course in one sentence. What should people eat? Eat at the proper time. That means no snacking. Eat as a proper time. A variety - not all. at one meal. You get too fat that way. But over a ten day period to make sure you get all the nutrients you should have. Eat a variety of different food. So eat a variety of natural non processed foods in quantities for ideal weight. That's all you need to know."
*Note:* No mention of not eating animal sourced foods.
