Transcripts For KGO Nightline 20140319 : vimarsana.com

Here for all of us. And the search is on for the black box that could solve the mystery of flight 370. But its losing battery life with every passing minute. [ ] good evening. Scientology has strenuously denied that it forces its members to quote, unquote, disconnect with anybody who leads the faith. Cut all ties, even with loved ones. One woman says the Church Turned it into a choice between her son and her daughter. This is the image that most people have of scientology, tom cruise, John Travolta and kirstey alley who lauded the religion as helping themselves out in their mind. This woman may have a less recognizable face, but she was a longtim member who was coming forward with a very different story about scientology. Im speaking out now because i dont want this to happen to other people. I dont want this to happen to other families. Reporter she blames the church for breaking apart her family effectively, she says, forcing her to choose between her son and daughter. No mother should ever have to make that choice. They were giving me a sophies choice, and its not right. Reporter shi says she spent 36 years in the church, founded by l. Ron hubbard and she and her husband both reached the top level of spiritual progression known as operating satan eight. I was sort of the poster child for a signologist. But the problems began when her sonic developed doubts about the faith. You grow up in it so its all you know. You believe whatever your parents tell you to believe, right . Then when you reach adulthood, i mean, theres things i didnt like, the way they recruited, the theories about life and the universe. He was an engaged signtologist, actively recruiting people to the faith. I sold books. I didnt want to. I just did it because i had to. I kind of feel bad that i did that. He started associating with vocal critics of church. The head of the church had physically struck subordinates. He just takes off across the room in front of 80 people and delivered just a beating to the guy. I mean beat him up bad. Reporter the church has repeatedly and strenuously denied those allegations while condemning them as liars and apostates. He was cast out of the church, declared a quote, unquote, suppressive person. It was devastating. I mean, i felt the pain he felt. Reporter his mother says Church Officials repeatedly pressured her and her husband, also a signtologist needed to cut ties with her son. She briefly did sdis cdisconnec nick until she got drunk, got a gun and threatened to kill himself. I didnt have many reasons to stick around at the time. My son said i have a gun and i have. Bottle of booze and a heart just drops and falls out of your chest. This contradicts the churchs longstanding position that it does not tell its followers to cut ties with anyone. The accusations are untrue. The record shows the church acted with compassion, responding for requests from assistance including requests to help their son deal with a drug and alcohol addiction. The church is lying when they say there is no disconnection practice and enforced. Its not true. I have proof. Reporter in fact, goldberg gave us this document, one she first shared with the Tampa Bay Times which broke the story in which a Church Official says he cannot approve of her continued relationship with her son, explicitly using the word disconnection. Ultimately, she says, she and her husband chose to stand by nick. The result, she says, they were both called in front of what the church calls a committee of evidence and ultimately declared suppressive. At which point her daughter ashley chose to cut ties in what her mom describes as a wrenching scene. We talked and we cried and she said, mom, i have to d disconnect from you. It was just very sad. I know my daughter loves me and she loves her brother. So that was the last time i saw my daughter and my granddaughter. Goldberg says she Still Believes in the teachings of scientology, but now shares her sons dougts abodoubts about ho church is being run, especially since she went online, something Church Members are discouraged from doing and saw what critics were saying about scientology. She saw this interview nightline gave with debbie cook, a former scientology official who claimed in court that the leader ordered his secretary to slap her. Why . He was displeased with how i was answering a question. It wasnt what he wanted to hear in some way. Scientology has labelled debbie cook a bitter apostate and liar. But goldberg says she was dee y ly troubled by cooks testimony. I started to understand why the church doesnt want its parishioners to go on the internet and read stuff. Because theres too many things they would have learned. Reporter its now been nine months since she had in contact with her daughter, soninlaw and granddaughter. Its just cruel. I cant even email my daughter. I sent a package of presents to my granddaughter for christmas and it was refused and sent back. Reporter all that she has left is pictures and memories and hope. I want my family back. And i have wonderful memories. The evil practice of disconnection destroys families. Its got to stop. Its got to end.

Some of us believe we need it in order to maintain our edge, in fact, but any doctor will tell you too much stress is down right toxic. And so tonight, an experiment. Were going to wire up one of the most stressed out guys you have ever seen. A bigtime College Basketball coach gearing up for march madness. Dr. Oz says the results contain lessons for all of us. Host of Sports Science on our Sister Network on espn has the report. Reporter this is coach tom iz izzo. A jumping jack and a double axel. One of the highest paid coaches in College Basketball. In the heat of game, the pressure gets the best of him. It looks like hes enjoying his afternoon. Thats how i feel. Reporter its all part of a long tradition of coaches who appear to be going mad. Youre a liar, earl reporter he looks like he wants a technical. Reporter and some go straight into full tilt metdown. You piece of [ bleep ]. Just broke a stick over the ice. He lost his mind. Reporter coaches are no stranger to health issues. As seen in this dramatic video, nfl head coach gary kubiak suddenly collapsed on the field last season. A few years back, duke coach Mike Krzyzewski fainted in the middle of this game. But what is all this hair pulling, foot stomping and hand wringing do to ones health . Im going to wire you up. To find out, nightline was granted unprecedented access top wire the Michigan State coach during an actual game. Tracking his breathing rate and heart rate. I just got to pop this in. Pop that in. Reporter and we even had him swallow a sensor that tracks his core body temperature. So what do you expect to find out . I dont think anybody understands all the things that you go through. Maybe the biggest one is stress. Reporter right. And its probably one of the harder ones to measure. Reporter toms wife lupe knows the drill. But what will our experiment reveal . Is her husbands stressful job putting him at risk . Theres so much that comes into the basketball program. So yeah, hes very stressed. We recruited two doctors, dr. Redford williams, who joined me court side, and dr. Oz back at the nightline lab, one of the nations top cardiologists. One of the number one reasons for stress is you dont control the world outside of you. Reporter its game time. At the start, coach izzo seems pretty calm, breathing easy. 14 breaths per minute. Heart rate, 68 beats per minute. But as things get going, nerves kick in. His heart rises even from just hearing his own name being announced. Tom izzo reporter when the imposing team scores the first basket, his heart immediately starts racing. If you suddenly jerk your heart rate up, things can happen. Irregular heart beats that become permanent. They can be dangerous because they can cause strokes. They can make you faint. Up to 122. The second basket. Coach izzos team is losing big time and its having an impact on his body. Theres definitely a correlation between the number of points theyre down and his heart rate. His core body temperature has actually gone up. Its approaching 100. Your body temperature isnt supposed to vary that much. It means that his body is feeling not only stress, but being fatigued by that stress. Lays it in. Reporter izzos team starts to rally. Finally, izzos heart gets a break. If things are going poorly, his heart rate goes up. If things are going well, his heart rate comes down. Reporter when the game starts up again, it doesnt look good for his team. He just blew his stack. 9 14 to go in the game. Slammed the table. Reporter the referees start calling fouls. And izzo gets mad. Really mad. Izzo, izzo, izzo. Reporter in the control room, the crew finds izzos reactions down right entertaining. But dr. Oz says this is potentially dangerous. Dealing with a quick sudden burst of anxiety like someone called you up and scared you about some news is one thing. Having chronic stress that never gets better, thats even more detrimental. His heart is up to 130 now. Reporter his core body temperature climbs to 100 degrees and his heart rate spikes to a game high 135 beats per minute. Thats 70 of his max heart rate, which is the same percentage experienced by a marathoner. And izzo hasnt even left court side. This is definitely not a laboratory experiment. I mean, this is in the Real Laboratory experiment. I mean, this is in the real world. And thats when i realized that some things are more important than winning. To teach us how to give conceding defeat. The givingup process allows your body to come down to a normal place. But thats, of course, what happens no matter what. Whether you win or lose, your body quits. Izzos team, Michigan State was supposed to win this game, but they lost by seven points. We met up with him the next day to show him the results of our unique experiment. Hi, coach. A little bit of a tough game, but probably the ideal game for us to wire you up and take a look at whats really going on, right . Upted to see disappointment, you know, maybe my heart stopped because of some of the things that went on. Reporter another play where you got a little upset, and this time you physically did a jump sp spin. You were very passionate. I loved gymnastics in the olympics. I wanted to see if i could do one of those 360s. It was kind of a poor version. I definitely thought there was a foul called on that critical, critical moment. Reporter coach izzo didnt seem surprised by the data we found during our realtime stress test. The italian in me, maybe emotions are worn more on the sleeve. If you came out with something positive, it might make my wife happy, my maker sad. The insurance policy is paid up. Reporter every time coach izzos heart rate spiked, it quickly returned to a more normal level. This shows that his heart is in good shape. But its this kind of internal roller coaster dangerous for your longterm health . The kind of chronic appearance can lead to longer term with your immune system, problems with blood pressure. The body feels its always under attack. Keeping calm isnt exactly in a coachs job description. Stom is really passionate. He doesnt mix words. He says what he means, he means what he says. I dont try to hide my emotions very often. It gets me in trouble sometimes. Most coaches have their moments, but i think that theyve gotten this far because they can handle things, you know . Because theres stressful things that happen each and every day in these jobs. Reporter for nightline in east lansing, michigan. Speaking of basketball and pressure, its time for march madness.
