learning to be more of a healthy you. all righter, here we go, time for "sunday house call." you are about to get healthier. >> that's jamie coleby, i'm eric shawn and welcome to "sunday house call" dr. marc siegel author of "the inner pulse: unlocking the secret code of sickness and health." >> and dr. david samati, chief of robotics surgery, great to have you here. >> hello. >> good to be here. >> good to see you guys. >> we start with something that affects so many americans, eating disorders such as anorexia and other conditions. this happens to be national eating disorders week and it

raises awareness about these conditions that impact 24 million americans and affects people of all ages and genders. doctor siegel, how serious is it? >> eric this is a huge problem and there's a national eating disorders website, nationaleatingdisorders.org, we're talking 20 million young women, mostly young teenagers, 10 million men, not just women, men as well, this is a very, very serious problem in this country, it runs in families, it's related to body image, self-ima self-image, a lot of underlying depression involved. let me give you an idea what it is. anorexia nervosa the person can't get thin enough no matter what they do, starvation, binge eating, purnging with laxatives and diuretics. bulimia nervosa is binge eating followed by purging but they can be normal weight, they don't have to have that ultrathin

part. the ultrathin part with anorexia gives you brittle nails, brittle hair, you have problems with your metabolism, your electrolytes are off. the third category is binge eating, when you just can't stop eating, those people are very, very overweight. david what do you think is behind all of this? i wonder what is causing all of this. >> i think this is a very interesting topic, because it really affects a lot of people as marc just mentioned not just women but also men, one out of four are affected by this. to summarize what marc just mentioned this is a disease of bio, psychosocial. they have taken the 3-d mri of the brain and when we eat food we enjoy it. there is a pleasure, a joy of food that goes with this and on the brain you would see that the whole dopamine ander i er is ts

the activity in the brain is up. with anorexia nervosa you're talking about it's completely flat, no activity. and they look at food as almost a medicine, it's a torture, it's affecting them and a background noise always bothering them and that's why they stay away from this. there's a bicycle, a psychological issue because this is one of the worst mental disorders you can have, mortality is very high, 95% of really young teenagers comes from family issues, the big question that i would pose is and it's more academic than anything else, is it a real disease? is eating disorder a real disease or a symptom of some of the things that marc just talked about. >> this has to be treated we hear stories of it being fatal. what do you think, dr. siegel, is the most effective treatment if you have a loved one or you have an issue? >> one of my patients lost a daughter with this a few years ago, it destroyed the whole family.

that points to what the treatment is, hospitalization, getting therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, there's 18 times greater risk of suicide with anorexia nervosa than of normal people in the same population so underlying depression, self-image problems, anxiety, substance abuse, get them out of a hospital and into a program. >> what kind of doctors? >> you should see endocrine and regulate the weight. endocrine, nutritionist, people that can -- >> what is aben endocrine? >> they look at hormonal changes, you need to see a psychiatrist, they need to manage but the biggest thing is what i think jamie is trying to get at, there is help out there. you can't be in denial. this national eating disorder association a number which i will post on my facebook you need to go and seek help, cognitive behavioral therapy and stop putting pressure on each other how thin we should look and on and on. >> seek help, absolutely important. >> especially for a loved one. we touched on this yesterday

here at the fox news channel we always bring you the latest medical break-throughs and this one might be one in the fight against prostate cancer a new screening test that researchers are working on and it may detect which men are more at risk for what can be a deadly disease, dr. samati clearly this is your field of study. are you impressed by this? >> we are excited more than impressed by it. it's coming up in our tools that we use. jamie right now we use the psa, the prostate specific antigen. it's not prostate cancer specific so when someone comes to my office and the psa is elevated action you can have an enlarged prostate, inflammation or prostate cancer so it's not really tailored screening. it's a little bit of guess -- >> i thought the psa was a test for cancer. i'm glad you're bringing this up. >> now come the genetic tests, coming from the uk, published in the "british journal of cancer" and they looked about 191 men,

looked at their genes and if they have mutation in about eight series of the genes they are at risk for getting this aggressive prostate cancer. why is that important? somebody who has family history of prostate cancer we can get the genetic tumors, markers and find out if they're going to get prostate cancer so we can change their diet. when they're diagnosed with prostate cancer are we operating on someone -- >> can you get it now? >> there are some genetic. >> i go into my doctor and get a psa? >> you should goer your psa, you're supposed to give me your psa, you haven't been in the last year so you need to go for the exam. if we have two patients diagnosed with prostate cancer, who do we operate on? genetic tests tell us when to radiate after surgery. >> i wanted to ask dr. siegel a patient comes to you for a general physical. do you always check psa and when do you go one step further? >> i always check psa over the age of 40 because i want the information, i want the screening information. what i do about it is the next

question, do i follow a trend, send the patient to a urologist like david? what do i do? the genetic testing is probably a year away for the prostate but what's really exciting here some of these cancer genes are the same as the ones we've been looking at for breast cancer, braca one and two, palb two, check two, atm, these are ones we're already checking for breast cancer so there may very well be cancer genes and they're doing a bigger study on the prostate with 2,000 men involved to see. i may be able to say to a patient you're overweight, i got a lot of medical problems, i wouldn't normally send you for a robotic prostatectomy but because of that gene i better do it and once i send the patient to a urologist for the decision for a prostate x-ray, david, what would your point be after? once you biopsy the prostate how can genetics help you then?

>> would you prophylactiall operate like angelina did? >> you may give someone radiation after surgery with these genes. if you know that somebody has real aggressive cancer and a higher chance of recurrence that the cancer will come back we may give radiation. the big thing about it here it's going to be a very tailored personalized screening as opposed to operating on everyone or just radiate everyone because we don't know who is going to of this kind of aggressive cancer. >> you have to go to a doctor lix dr. siegel who is thinking that way, ask your doctor how familiar are you with the kinds of things. >> doctors should be ready for this. this is coming down the pike now. we're going to be able to check for genes and one last thing we may be able to treat those genes. that's the real holy grail, someday we may say i'm going to make that gene do the right things, get rid of that,

reengineer the gene so you don't get the prostate. >> and the family and the son who is going to be really at risk if the father has prostate cancer, you have three sons, one of them may be going for that surgery and the other two maybe we watch. >> and the jeeb test about a year away or so. fantastic. >> next week we'll hear about your psa and wait for that. >> meanwhile another break-through that deals with transplant waitingleys. can you imagine them being a thing of the past at some point? coming up why doctors say that could happen giving a lot of new hope to all the transplant patients across our country. . life with crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis is a daily game of "what if's". what if my abdominal pain and cramps end our night before it even starts? what if i eat the wrong thing? what if? what if i suddenly have to go? what if? but what if the most important question is the one'ot test.

i'm justine clarke and this is heart healthbeat. we all know how important diet and exercise are to heart health but that might not be enough. jennifer, is there more to the story? >> absolutely.

balanced diet rich in omega threes is important for heart health. most don't get enough through diet alone. >> we recommend supplements specifically megared omega 3 krill oil. >> why are omega 3s important? >> they support the healthy function of your heart and support three markers of heart health. first, the crp blood test a marker systemic inflammation, second, triglycerides, a type of fat pleasured in the blood and omega 3 index. megared has ingredients shown to support these three markers. okay, back to "sunday house call" only on the fox news

channel. break-through that could one day revolutionize transplant medicines, researchers at the university of texas medical branch in galveston successfully growing, ready for this, a human lung in a laboratory for the first time. >> wow. >> it the first time? >> it's the very first time it's been done with humans. they've done it about rats and with pigs. they take one lung, strip it down chemically and get a scaffold and they put stem cells or in this case took cells from another lung and i'm going to post this on my facebook page. people out there, don't know i have a facebook page i'll link it to dr. samati's page. >> we know of a liver being able to regenerate itself. lung? >> that's a big problem because lung is a great question you're asking, lung has so many different kinds of tissue. it's very hard to get a whole lung like that. that's why it's taken this long and eric, it's about ten years away from being used in humans but in the meantime we can take this lounge outside the body and

try pneumonia and emphysema and see treatments that we could use to fix broken lungs, to fix lungs that are damaged. sarah murnaghan in pennsylvania i want to show her picture. we talked about, fox news reported on her, how hard it was for an 11-year-old to get a pair of lungs because there's such a shortage of lungs, 1, 00 people a year waiting on the list. thanks to fox news and government interventions thank god she got her lungs, she's doing well. but in the future we may be able to use artificial lungs instead of waiting on a list. >> two for one positive update, glad to hear she's doing well. dr. samati? >> look, we have some of the organs already. they're going to lungs but already have bladders and this scaffold that marc was talking about is a matrix. you heard of 3-d printers. instead of ink you have human cells and put the scaffold through the printer, human

cells, bladder cells that go through the scaffold and what comes out the other side of the printer a bladder. when i operate on somebody with bladder cancer and we remove the entire bladder with he create a new bladder out of the small intestine. we take part of the small intestine and create a whole new bladder and put it in. if you have a real transplant a real bladder from outside it becomes like an auto part, you take the bladder out, give me the new bladder i'll put it back in. >> this is not like cars, though. >> it's not science fiction. it's already there and it's coming up. heart valves are being developed this way, in vascular bypass we have vessels. this bioengineering is taking a whole new wing and this is important. all of the organs we have shortage, transplant is in trouble, they don't have to be on the anti-rejection medications for the rest of their life so i think it's exciting this is coming up with the lungs. >> is this something people will be able to afford? we don't want to get folks'

hopes up. it is ten years away. >> the reason it's ten years away by the way is because they got to really figure out how to get that definitive in the body where it doesn't get rejected and functions like an original lung and cost is going to be quite high. it's not going to be covered by insurance, it will be very difficult at the beginning but when they figure out how it's going to save the lung transplants the cost also come down and it will be widely used. it will be like you pull into your surgical office instead of your car dealership. >> if it can be done it should be done and it will be done in america where we have the best health care system. >> that's amazing. thank you. sihingles, do you have it o get a vaccine. do you still need to worry about spreading it others? our doctors will weigh in on shingles, what it is, how you get it, how you can stop it, when we come back. back. hey kevin...still eating chalk for heartburn? 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! starts with freshly-made pasta, and 100% real cheddar cheese. but what makes stouffer's mac n' cheese best of all. that moment you enjoy it at home. stouffer's. made with care for you or your family.

>> back with the doctors and "should i worry." we talk about everything that worries us. a viewer is worried about shingles. i just had a vaccine for shingles. am i contagious? what is shingles? is shingles contagious? >> do not worry. you are not contagious as a result of the vaccine. shingles is a virus that is like chicken pox. if you get it when you are young the virus stays in your nerves and stays quiet. you can go for life and never get shingles or if you are under stress, the virus can become active and travel through the nerve and you will get a strip

of the shingles which itches and red and painful. centers for disease control recommends the vaccine over the age of 60 because that is where the bulk exists. thou not get shingles or contagious as a result but if someone has shingles and i am exposed i don't get shingles but if i never had chicken pox i can get chicken pox. that is important. this person doesn't have shingles and they got the vaccine and -- it is not contagious. >> worry is the grandchildren young. >> shingles vaccine is terrific. >> a million cases of shingles each year in the united states over $1 billion in costs. it is not the shingles which you describe but it is a painful condition you get in a third to half of the cases after shingles

goes away. the good news is the vaccine gets prevents that 70 percent of the time. the vaccine is 60 percent evervictive you have on get it every six years and it prevents the painful condition 70 percent of the time. it is a live virus so protect women can not have this. if you are compromised can you not have this. if you are run down, you cannot have this. most people can have it. we in longer check to see if you have chicken pox when you are a kid. we give it to everyone over the age of 60. >> a lot of people will ask this and i know how you believe in vaccination, people will say, this is a live virus. can i get some sort of a disease from this when i an perfectly fine? are there major side effects? >> in the past when it comes to flu, we say you are not going to get in although some people have symptoms. what is the dole with this vaccine?

that is the question people want to hear. >> it is a great question, a vaccine which means the claws are off. it does not have the viral clause. it should nature make you sick but if you are compromised or have h.i.v. or pregnant, and you took this vaccine you could get a mild form of chicken fox or mild form of shingles. i don't think people like that should get it but i don't want to scare anyone else. centers for disease control recommended it for everyone over the age of 60. maybe 50 to 60, that category, probably, if you don't have an underlying problem. >> most of the side effects, there are headaches and some local rejection. >> the good news is if you have shingles, it is not contagious. >> correct. >> unless someone has not had chicken pox. >> these promise dramatic results but all the hair, skein and nail supplements, how many really work? our doctors will tell us so you

can have the gorgeous nails and silky hair next. lovely read susan. may i read something? yes, please. of course. a rich, never bitter taste cup after cup. 340 grams.

♪ honestly, i want to see you be brave ♪ ♪

>> got to make a joke. see the long silky hair? americans spend millions on products for our hair. the thing is, a lot of them don't work. i go to the drugstore and i buy a special you buy one you get a bottle free. is this included in the list? doctor? >> why did you start with me? my son, sam, is nine, and he has a full head of hair that i lost. here is what i tell you, zinc is good, tested and studied a year ago and it looked like it prevents hair loss in women post

menopausal, so i like that and vitamin a and b and c but do you take these as supplements or just get them in the food you eat? you can get it in seeds and brown rice and oats. i don't know the answer. dr. samadi knows the answer. >> what do you take? >> look, i'm sensitive about my hair and i want to preserve it. there were a lot of programs saying that teach of the vitamins are not good and that is probably maybe true. if you take a lot of vitamin." we know it increases your prostate cancer but certain vitamins are absolutely if my opinion great. we should be taking biotin so 500 milligrams is good and i like niacin, all the b complex are great for hair and skin and

the other is sillica and i take biotin each day. you may not grow new hair but you can reserve it. that accident mean if you take three of them it is better. just stick to it. >> biotin works. if you have a well balanced diet and all the proportional prunings and vegetables and you listen to us each sunday you don't need it but i work hard and have a lot of energies and i may not get the well buildingsed diet which i should so i take supplements. >> all the vitamins you need are in the diet. fish oil was studied and found to decrease hair loss and be good for the nails. >> also, vitamin e could help you but it is terrible for the prostate i would say stay away. >> got to leave it there. >> i would say you don't have to

spend a ton of money you can get the vitamins at the drugstore. that does it for us. great to have you afternoon. >> that is "house calls." media buzz comes up right now. >> this sunday, the racially charged murder case inflamed by cable news is back in the media spot lit. george zimmerman runs to television after the trayvon martin verdict. cnn is hammered online for giving him a platform. >> do you have regrets? >> certainly. i think about that night. my life would be tremendously easier if i stayed home. >> another cnn anchor spreads over the mistrial of michael dunn on a murder charge for killing an african-american teen for playing loud music. why do they turn these
