. all right, everybody. here we go. it is time for sunday house call. you are about to get help here. right? >> and welcome to sunday house call as always. we have dr. mark segal, the will medical center and author of the inner pulse. the secret code of sickness and health. >> professor of urology and chief of robotics surgery. great to have you here. >> hello. good to see you guys. >> we start with what affects so many americans like eating disorders. this is national eating

disorders week and raises awareness about the conditions that impact 24 million americans and affects people of all ages and genders. how serious is this and how do people address this? >> this is a huge problem. there is a national eating disorders website that has a lot. we are talking 20 million women, mostly teenagers and 10 million men. men as well. this is a very, very serious problem in this country. it runs in families. it's related to body image, self image. there is a lot of underlying depression involved. anorexia nervosa, the person can't get thin enough no matter what they do. starvation, binge eating and vomiting. probably because they have a terrible self image. bulimia is binge eating followed by burging. they can be normal weight.

they don't have to have that ultra thin part. that gives you brittle nails and brittle hair. you have problems with your metabolism and electrolytes are off. the third category is binge eating. when you can't stop eating. those people are very, very overweight. what do you think is behind all of this? >> i think this is a very anything topic. it affects not just women, but men. what mark just mentioned, this is a disease of biological social. they have taken this mri of the brain and when we eat food, when we eat food, we enjoy it. there is a pleasure and a joy of food that comes with it. on the brain, you will see that the dopamine ander is serotonin go off. that reward center is up where

as with anorexia that you are talking about, it's flat. there is no activity. it's 100%. they look at food as a medicine. it's a torture. it's affecting them and there is a background noise always bothering them. that's why they stay away from it. the biocyclone. this is one of the worst mental disorders you can have. mortality is high. 95% are really young teenagers and come from family issues. the big question i will pose is -- it's more academic. is it a real disease? is eating disorders a real disease or a symptom of the things mark talked about? >> we hear stories of it being fatal. what do you think is the most successful treatment if you have a loved or you know you have an issue. >> one of my patients lot of a daughter with this and destroyed the whole family.

that points with the treatment of hospitalization and therapy and 18 times greater risk of suicide with anorexia nervosa than normal people in the same population. underlying depression and self image and anxiety and substance abuse is high. get them to the hospital and get them to the program and get them treated. >> what kind of doctor? >> you should see endocrine, nutritionists and people that can -- they look at all the hormones. the hormonal changes. you need to see a psychiatrist and you need to manage it. the biggest thing is i think what jamie is trying to get out there, there is help. this national eating disorder association, there is a number i will post. you need to seek help. cognitive behavior. we need to talk about how it being looks and on and on. >> you can seek help. very important. >> especially for a loved one.

we touched on it with the fox news channel. we always play you the latest breakthroughs. this might be one in the fight against prostate cancer. there is a new screening test that researchers are working on. it may detect which men are more at risk for a deadly disease. this is your field of study. are you impressed by this? >> we are excited more than impressed. it is coming off and right now what we use for prostate cancer is the psa. prostate-specific antigen from the blood. it's not prostate cancer-specific. you can have an enlarged prostate and information or prostate cancer. it's not really tailored screening. >> i thought they tested for cancer. >> now coming with this genetic test and it was published in the journal of cancer and they look

at 191 men. if they have mutations in about eight series of the gene, they are at risk for getting the cancers. why is that important? whether you have families, you can get the genetic markers and find if they are going to get prostate cancer so they change their diet. who should we operate? there are genetics. >> the first thing you should do is go for the psa. you are supposed to give them and you haven't been in the last year. also you need to go for the exam. if we have two patients that diagnose it, who do we offer? we will tell you when it go. >> i wanted to ask you, a patient comes to you for a general physical, do you always check psa and when do you go a step further? >> i always check over the age of 40. i want the information. i want the screening.

what i do about it is the next question. do i send the patient to a urologist? what do i do? the genetic testing is probably about a year away for the prostate. you know what is exciting here? the cancer genes are the same as theve been looking at for breast cancer. these are ones that we are already checking for breast cancer. they may be cancer genes. they are doing a bigger study with 2,000 men involved. i may be able to say you are overweight and you have a lot of medical problems. i wouldn't normally send you for radical detection, but because of that jean, i better do it. one site sends the patient to a urologist for the decision for the expert. what would your point be after that. once you get it, how can

genetics help you then? >> like angelina jolie. would you parade on a prostate? >> now you are getting into that area. it's a good point. going back to what mark mentioned, you may actually give someone radiation after surgery with these kinds ofs. if you know somebody has aggressive cancer and a higher chance of recurrence and the cancer will come back, we may get radiation. it will be tailored and personalized screening as opposed to operating. we don't know who is going have this aggressive cancer. >> dr. segal is thinking that way. you have to ask how familiar they are. >> you should be. the doctor should be ready for this. we will be able to treat them and that's the real holy grail.

you may be able to get that. >> or the families with the prostate cancer. is going for that surgery. >> the ps attest and a good test. >> we will get that. another breakthrough that has to do with transplant waiting list. can you imagine 24e78 being a thing of the past? why the doctors say that could happen, giving a lot of new hope to the transplant patients across the country. is this the bacon and cheese diet? this is the creamy chicken corn chowder. i mean, look at it. so indulgent. did i tell you i am on the... [ both ] chicken pot pie diet! me too! [ male announcer ] so indulgent, you'll never believe they're light. 100-calorie progresso light soups. i'm saving a ton of time by posting them to my wall.

oh, i like that one. it's so quick! it's just like my car insurance. i saved 15% in just 15 minutes. i saved more than that in half the time. i unfriend you. that's not how it works. that's not how any of this works. [ male announcer ] 15 minutes for auote isn't how it works anymore. with esurance, 7 1/2 minutes could save you on car insurance. welcome to the modern world. esurance. backed by allstate. click or call. welcome to the modern world. (knochello? hey, i notice your car is not in the driveway. yeah. it's in the shop. it's going to cost me an arm and a leg. that's hilarious. sorry. you shoulda taken it to midas. get some of that midas touch. they tell you what stuff needs fixing, and what stuff can wait. next time i'm going to midas. high-five! arg! i did not see that coming. trust the midas touch. for brakes, tires, oil, everything. (whistling)

t! [bell rings] this...is jane. her long day on set starts with shoulder pain... ...and a choice take 6 tylenol in a day which is 2 aleve for... ...all day relief. hmm. [bell ring] "roll sound!" "action!" . >> okay. back to sunday house call only

on the fox news channel. breakthrough that could revolutionize transplant medicine. researchers at the texas medical branch successfully growing a human lung in a laboratory for the first time. >> wow. >> it is the first time? >> it's the very first time it has been done with humans. they have done it with pigs and they take one lung and strip it down and get a scaffold and put it to stem cells or in this case they took cells from another lung. i am going to post this on my facebook page. we will have it. >> we may have a liver being able to regenerate itself. >> it's a great question. one has so many different kinds of tissue. it's hard getting a whole lung like that. it's about ten years away from being able to be used with humans. we can take you outside and try

emphysema and try damage and fibrosis and see treatments that we could use to fix broken lungs and lungs that are damaged. down in pennsylvania, we talked about her and fox news reported on her how hard it was for an 11-year-old to get a pair of lungs because there is such a shortage. 1600 people a year waiting on the list. thank god she got her lung and she is doing well, but in the future, we may be able to use artificial lungs. >> glad to hear she is doing well. >> they have lungs and bladders. this is a matrix. instead of ink, you have the human cells. you put this through the printer and you see the human bladder

cells that go in and what comes out on the other side of the printer. a bladder. when i operate on someone with a bladder cancer, we create it out of the small intestine. we have to create a new bladder and put it in. if you have a real transplant, a real bladder from outside, then it will be an auto part. you take the bladder out and put it back in. >> it sounds like cars or something. >> it's there. it's coming up. heart valves are being developed this way. in vascular bypass. this is important because they don't have to get the medication for anti-rejection. >> there is something that people will be able to afford.

they have to figure out how to get it where it functions like a lung and costs is going to be high. it's not going to be covered by insurance. it's going to be very, very difficult at the beginning. when they figure out how it will save the need for lung transplants, it will be widely used. it will be like we can put it into the office and accepted it to the car dealership. >> if it can be done and it should be done in america. >> singles. do you have it or did you get a vaccine. if you did, you still need to worry about spreading it to others. our doctors weigh in on shingles. what it is, how you get it. how you can stop it when we come back. [ male announcer ] how do you get your bounce?

well, did you know that just one sheet of bounce outdoor fresh gives you more freshness than two sheets of the leading national store brand? who knew? so, how do you get your bounce? with more freshness in a single sheet.

and back now with the doctors, in our segment, should i worry? every week, we talk about everything that worries us. one viewer is worried about shingles. she wrote, i just had a vaccine for shingles. i have two new great granddaughters. do i need to stay away from them? am i contagious? dr. samadi, first of all, what is shingles and is shingles contagious inspect. >> you don't become contagious as a result of getting the vaccine. shingles is really the result of a virus. it's almost like chicken pox. so if you get chicken pox when you are young, that virus stay necessary your nerves and it stays quiet. you can go on for the rest of your life and never get shingles.

but if you're under stress or for unknown reasons, shing that virus will go through that nerve and you will get shingles and it's painful. so that's what it is. cdc is recommending getting these vaccines over the age of 60 because that's where the pluck of shingles exists. you don't get shingles or get contagious as a result of this. but if somebody has shingles, okay, and i'm exposed to them, i don't get shingles. but if i've never had chicken pox, i can get chicken pox from that person. this person doesn't have shingles. he or she went to get the vaccine, which sa good thing. i think the person is not contagious. >> the grandchildren are young and maybe didn't have chicken pox. i want to say the shingles vaccine is terrific. >> how did i do, by the way? >> that was excellent. 11 million cases of shingles in the united states. $1 billion in costs. it's not is shingles, it's post

huretic neuralgia. that's what you get after the shingles goes away. the vaccine prevents that 70% of the time. so whereas the vaccine is 60% effective, you have to get it every six years, it prevent that's painful condition afterwards 70% of the time. now, it is a live virus, so i want to warn people. pregnant women can't have it. if you're immunocompromised, you can't have this. if you're run down for another reason, you can't have this pep. we no longer check the titeers to see if you have the chicken pox when you were a kid. >> a lot of people would say this is a live virus. can you get some sort of a disease from this when i'm perfectly fine? are there real major side effects as a result of this disease? in the past, when it comes to flu vaccine, we said you're not going to get knit fluid, although some people would have symptoms. what's the deal with this

vaccine that we don't hear a lot? that's the question that a lot of people would want to hear. >> it's a great question. it's an attenuated vaccine, which i like to say the claws are offered. it doesn't have the viral claws. it shouldn't make you sick, but if you have immunocompromised, if you have hiv, if you are pregnant and you took this vaccine, you could get a mild form of chicken pox or shingles from it. i don't think people like that should get it, but i don't want to scare anyone else out there. the cdc is recommending it for everyone over the age of 60 and maybe 50 to 60. >> so most of the side effects, there are headaches and some -- >> headaches and -- >> and local rejections. >> i think the good news is, if you have shingles, it's not contagious, correct? >> correct. >> unless someone hasn't had chicken pox. >> that's right. these promise dramatic results, but all those hair skin and nail supplements you see,

how many of them really work? our doctors are going to tell us so you can have those gorgeous nails and that silky hair. that's next. yeah... try new alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already. [ male announcer ] new alka seltzer fruits chews. enjoy the relief! [ male announcer ] new alka seltzer fruits chews. so i can reach ally bank 24/7, but there ar24/7.branches? i'm sorry, i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? look! mommy's new vacuum! (cat screech) you feel that in your muscles? i do... drink water. it's a long story.

well, not having branches let's us give you great rates and service. i'd like that. a new way to bank. a better way to save. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

oh, i've got to make a joke. americans spend millions of dollars every year on products for our hair, our skin, our nails. eric, you stay out of frame. but the thing is, a lot of them don't work. now, i go to the drugstore and i buy bioten. you buy one bottle and you get another one free. i'd like to know if that's included in the list, dr. siegel. >> now, why did you start with me? i know why. i know why. my son, sam, is 9 today. he has the full head of hair that i lost. biotin and zic may be a very good combination. it's been studied a year ago and it looks like it's prevents hair

loss in women. i like biotin, i like zinc. but here is the question, the million-dollar question. do you take these as supplements or do you just get them in the foot food you eat? you get geologic it in brown rice and oats. i think if you have a well balanced -- oh, samadi knows the answer to that. >> he raised his hands. >> i'm a little sensitive about my hair and i want to preserve it. >> you're sensitive? >> there are a lot of programs saying too much of these vitamins are not good for you. that probably may be true. if you take a lot of vitamin e, but certain vitamins are absolutely great. you and i should be taking biotin. it's too late for him. so 500 millie gram of biotin is good. i like niacin. >> niacin?

>> it's great for hair, great for collagen, it's great for skin. and the other one is cilica. now, you may want grow new hair, but you can preserve it. but that doesn't mean if you take three of them, it's better. so you've got to stick to it. i think what mark is trying to say, if you have a well balanced diet and you have a good portion of fruits and vegetables, and you lisp to "housecall" every sunday, you don't need it. but i work hard, i have a lot of surgeries, i may not get a well balanced diet, which i should. >> all the vitamins you need are in a regular diet. fish oil was studied and found to decrease hair loss and be good for your nails. one last thing, vitamin e may help you, but it's terrible for your prostate. so i would say stay away from vitamin e. >> gotta leave it there.

and i would just say you don't have to spend a ton of money. you can get these vitamins at the drugstore. that's going to do it for us. >> that's "housecall." media buzz with howard kurtz comes up here on the fox news channel right now. >> on the buzz beater this sunday, the racially charged murder case that was utterly inflamed by cable news is back in the media spotlight. george zimmerman returns to television after the trayvon martin verdict. and cnn gets hammered online for giving him a platform. >> do you regret that night? do you have regrets about it? >> certainly i've -- think about that night. i think i -- my life would be tremendously easier if i had stayed home. >> and another cnn anchor explodes over the mistrial of michael dunn on a murder charge for killing an african-american teen. in this case, over the playing of loud music. why does television turn these
