♪ hello. i'm arthel neville. >> and i'm eric schaub. welcome to this special father's day edition of "sunday housecall." joining us as always is dr. marc seigle, a dad, professor of medicine at langone medical center. >> and dr. david samadi, chairman and professor of urology at lennox hill hospital and chief of robotics surgery. good to see you both. >> good to see you both. >> happy father's day. >> happy father's day. in honor of father's day we want to go over some healthy tips for taps dads and the best way to help him stay active and healthy as he grows older, so

dr. siegel, you're first on this one. is there a way to continue to meet your challenges and to keep your mind and your body active? >> well, first of all, my father, arthel, is also 90 today, and i want to wish him a happy father's day. president bush jumping out of that helicopter at the age of 90 is an inspiration for all of us, meeting your challenges, having a goal, overcoming that goal. he has parkinson's disease. plenty of patients that are 90 that have high blood pressure and heart disease and deebtize. not everyone can jump out of a helicopter but what can you do? can you keep active to overcome cognitive decline and can you work on your computer and can you even walk you? know, what can people at 90 do? the idea of having a goal, reaching that goal and helping you stay active physically and mentally will help you stay alive. this is an inspiration not to see president bush do it because

he's done it every five years. to see him do it at 90 is such an inspiration. >> such an inspiration and so impressive but most people can't be like president bush. can what can the average person do to stay active? what's a good amount of exercise? >> first of all, he's set such a high bar for everybody else and if every 90-year-old out there is going to try to get into some plane and start jumping i would be worried but there's a great story. >> absolutely. >> wouldn't be surprise federal he does it again at 95 and god bless him. i would say that there are three things we want to be careful about. our population is getting older. by 2020 we'll have a quarter of the population over the age of 65 and that's not such great news, by the way, for medicare, but putting that aside i will tell that you mind, heart and your bones, those are the three things that i can summarize for you. as we get older you don't necessarily have to be sicker. so how many times have you gone to the kitschen and say oh, my

god, why am i here again? that senior moment is leer. and as we get older sleep more. good quality sleep helps with your cognitive skills and memory. one of the things i want you to know is vitamin b12. talked about the fact that deficiency in vitamin b12 can mimic symptoms of alzheimer's so check your blood and find out your level and when you supplement that, it's great. going back to what you're saying is what's good for the heart is good for the mind and vice versa the healthy diet and exercise. now when you get older you'll have arthritis and weight issues. non-weight bearing, swimming, yoga, jumping from a plane sometimes. >> it's harder to sleep, it's more difficult. people who are older are not sleeping more. >> that's why you have to watch out and not have alcohol late in the evening or caffein late in the evening and stick to a regular sirkdian rhythm, more important when you get older. the most important thing is belief in yourself and i've

written a book about the mind-body connection. this is mind and body. the spirit has something to do with the physical health. as david says not everyone can jump out of a helicopter but you can do something that stretches you and challenges you and makes you meet a goal. >> how strong is that mind-body connection? >> it's huge. many studies show the connection between how your brain is doing and how the rest of your body is doing. >> stimulating your brain, even if it comes to playing blackjack, trying to play some sort of a game, making sure you're constantly teasing, do some homework with the grandchildren. as long as you're teasing your brain and your heart, the other thing is vitamin a, b, c and d, remember, as you get older at vitamins will go less and less. not niacin, maybe poe tnot pota. as you get older a, b, c and d. i personally take 2,000 units a

day with supplements for calcium to prevent osteoporosis. >> a, b, c, d. >> a for your eyes, b for cognitive eyes and c is important for your bones and nail and skin and d, obviously, emtree -- vitamin d3 is the secret to all of our health. >> because we don't get enough sunlight. and to emphasize david's point about b12, especially in elderly people, it leads to a cognitive decline. i check the level in every patient. >> the bowels are not absorbing the vitamin b-12 so check with your doctor. >> what presence h.w. bush did was amazing. >> happy father's kay. >> keep your mind active. >> and this may sound like science fiction, but could it one day be possible for doctors to diagnose patients without physically examining them? we'll ask our doctors about that and what it could mean for the future of medicine. that's next. okesperson: the voln passat is heads above the competition,

[ male announcer ] look for the easy-open red arthritis cap. i'm captain jeff ross to employed in afghanistan from forward operating base ganbury with the second brigade combat time. wanted to give a shutout to my father-in-law eric and my dad dave and to my wife and daughter back home at ft. campbell. i miss you all and will see you all soon. >> imagine being treated by your doctor without ever having to visit his office. it may sound far-fetched but according to a growing number of doctors it's actually the future of medicine. dr. samadi, you're up first on this one. so is video diagnosing easy to do? >> it's easy but the question is whether it's a good thing or

not. i'm a huge fan of this. i like the technology. the fact that your doctor could be sitting here and the patient could be in cincinnati, and we can have a conversation and take care of them. in fact, i will tell you that as of a month ago when we announced this prostate cancer 911 website for prostate cancer patients, a lot of people came in and i was able to talk to them so i opened the access of good doctors to a lot of patients that may not be able to really come and see us so i think this teleconferencing is actually a great way to go. medicare, up until last year, spent about 6 million years paying the doctors and always had a problem with the fact that i'm not face-to-face with you and i'm not in my office, are we going to get paid what is the reimbursement, those questions. american medical association this week came up with a huge guideline that doctors can use some of this technology and do remote control consultations, and actually can get paid so i think with 30 million people coming on health care system. patients from the v.a. system and other countries, this for me

as a robotic surgeon, teleconferencing, a great way to go. >> marc, what if you don't have a doctor? what if you don't see a doctor, don't have a doctor? could this be the only way you could actually get assistance instead of going to the e.r.? >> if you're in the rural area that may be that. that's one of the reasons why the ama endorsed it this week. two kinds of telemedicine and one is in realtime where we're live, like this. another is where they are sending me or david the information and we'll get to look it over later to see if it can help us. the limitation is a lot happens with intuition, taking a look at somebody. you don't look quite right, eric, i don't mind it but trying to figure out what a person looks like and carries themselves. that's intuitive medicine, but i want to say a lot depends on the quality of medicine you're receiving and it depends all the time. a group starting with ekgs, beam

an ekg across the world. what is the information i'm getting, because if i'm sitting there and you're on a video screen i might not have what i need, but if i can get your heart rate and blood rate and ekg and blood test, if you can show a picture of your rash and i can see it with a really good cameras, maybe in the future telemedicine can take place of most of the medicine. >> what if you live in the mountains or live in a rural area where you don't have access to medical care? can you do this and have experts from the big cities take care of you by telemedicine? >> absolutely. this is the way it's going to go. in 2020 they are expecting this market wore $6 billion. right now the way it would work is you would go to a local doctor. have prostate cancer. you are equipped with that information. then the local doctor in ohio, for example, does only like 50 surgeries a year. you'll want to come to new york city and see us where we do 50 hundred surgeries. we have all of that information and go online and do a

teleconference together. i already have the physical exam. marc talks about history of physical, i agree, because to a lot of diseases that's important. if i have your pathology and know your psa i can have enough information to solve your problem. >> something called telementoring that david is talking about, may do an operation some place like the domincan republic and somewhere else they get to see it. another thing that's really exciting. in rural areas you can go into a clinic. seen by a nurse, nurse practitioners and the doctor is there on a video screen. i'd rather be there on person but that's in a situation where i can't physically get there. >> we're there now. >> medicine is change, and his point is well taken. the fact that we sit here at lennox hill hospital right in the heart of manhattan and we're doing a robotic surgery and people in the dominican republic, south america and other places can see the live operation and learn from us the teleconferencing and

telementoring. >> marc, your point is fantastic. if you don't have a doctor, you can go to an office and have an expert like you guys take care of you. >> and we're not on here endorsing or replacing ourselves. not quite extinct. >> i'm going to convert him by the end of the year. >> you want a nurse there and then you look in by video. it's terrific. even on an iphone. >> you're not advocating the face-to-face because as you mentioned, dr. samadi, the -- you know, the population is getting older and some of this technology stuff is very frightening for older people. whoa, is this the only way i'll see my doctor in the future is through a computer and then that there leave me how the? >> people will get used to it. will get more used to it. in the end the best is to be face-to-face, but in the future even older people will say, hey, i'm sitting at home. i can't go anywhere. let me beam that information to my doctor so he can help me now. i have chest pain, an ekg, slap it on. it goes to the doctor. >> he's been in our operating

room. the idea 12 years ago, arthel, sit here and do a remote-controlled surgery ten feet away and operating inside you was like "star wars," crazy. today prostate surgery under pros kate cancer at the hands -- >> do you envision a row to the operating thousands of miles away? >> we're getting closer and closer and with verizon, high speed wiring, a dream come true. it's a great point. >> could have someone operating on you and you never get to meet him. >> coming up, does this sound like you? >> meet him on tv. >> does this sound like you? >> sounds like me. take your medicine for high blood pressure and cholesterol, right, but you don't have a lot of time to exercise, so coming up what doctors will tell us what you could be neglecting the most important part of staying healthy. stay with us.

and back now at "sunday housecall" and our weekly segment should i worry, the segment that we talk about everything that worries us. one viewer asks i'm taking meds for blood pressure and chet ral, but i don't feel like exercising. should i worry? dr. siegel? >> yes, you should worry. >> wow. >> and i'll tell you why. there's a new study out of oregon this week that worries me. it's a study that looks at 3,000 men over seven years, so this is a really long study, and it says that men over the age of 65 who are taking statins were 40 minutes less per week of exercise, 40 minutes less per week. that's the amount of exercise we

actually need to prevent heart disease and actually we said earlier in the show you needed if you have heart disease. we need the exercise and one-third of all older americans, eric, take statins so what's the cause here, eric, that's what i want to talk about. what is the cause? because statins give you muscle aches and people out there because of the muscle aches don't want to exercise or because you say, huh, i got the statins, i don't don't need anything else. my cholesterol's going to be low -- >> you're looking at numbers your cholesterol's just gone right down into the basement. >> but exercise is more important than anything else. much more important. statins are very important. and i'm not going to go on the show here and say not to take them because if your doctor prescribes them you may need them. if you're at high risk of heart disease, if you alrea heart disease. i am pro statin but i'm even more pro exercise. >> dr. samadi, a lot of people have o'take blood pressure medication. and i understand that. but is there any other better way to treat it? there are so many side effects

to this medication which i think causes problems. >> listen, i'm with you 100% on this. and we've talked about, for example, if you have to take something start with something which will have the same effect as lipitor. lifestyle changes. watching what you're eating. low fat, high fiber would reduce your cholesterol. you should try all of those. but my concern, and again, this is not a criticism of medical doctors but everybody should be on aspirin until proven otherwise and every cardiac surgeon, a lot of them say take your lipitor or crestor and now we're pulling back and saying wait a second, it causes muscle pain, we don't know why they're not exercising and now we're back to square one. you're taking the effect of people doing the exercise because they have this kind of muscle pain. we're back to the same exact thing. are we overtreating our patients with these medications? my answer is yes. i think you should change your lifestyle first, change your diet, stick to exercise. as a last resort, then you write

the prescriptions. not the other way around. >> you hear the mantra, like baby aspirin, fish oil, and statins. >> well, here's where i want to agree with david. there's no such thing as a one size fits all in medicine. it's got to be a doctor and a patient, hopefully not by telemedicine, a doctor and a patient sit there and decide what is useful. i say statins are useful. i don't think they're last resort, but not everybody should be taking them. for a while everybody was going on them. and one out of three elderly americans are taking them. that could be too much. >> baby aspirin. >> again, not for everyone. >> but we had a segment about this, eric, if you remember. if you have some of these receptors, after the colon biopsy, remember, those patients would benefit from aspirin. but to say that everyone should take aspirin, every patient is coming and taking aspirin, we're overdoing it. it's too much. >> you mentioned taking the vitamins. and i like that approach. but you should obviously talk to your doctor first because is it possible that some of the over-the-counter herbal remedies may counteract with your

prescribed medication? >> point well taken. and red yeast rice, you should talk to your doctor and tell him you're taking it. but there's also some genetic component to high cholesterol. some people automatically have extremely high triglycerides, no matter how much you run and whether you jump from the plane or whatever healthy food. it's not going to go -- that's when medication can save your life. >> in the future, and he's sitting right in this direction i was going to say. >> is that a compliment? >> yes. >> in the future we're going to be able to tell who needs what based on their genetic profile. we're going to say this group needs an aspirin, this group needs lipitor. >> until then exercise, even if you are taking your statins. >> talk to your doctor. absolutely. >> we've heard of cow's milk and even goat's milk. but camel milk? that's right. milk from a camel coming out. why some are calling it the next big thing. what you wear to bed is your business.

well, it is being hailed as the next super food. what is it? camel milk. yeah, it's now getting a lot of attention after research showed it has less cholesterol than cow's milk as well as having more protein, vitamin c, and iron. dr. samadi, so -- >> you're not convincing me to start camel milk. >> i'm not convinced. i need to know. >> camel milk is becoming

popular. and unfortunately, or maybe for a good reason, the train has left the station already. 40 whole food companies out there are selling these camel milk. and exactly the reason why you said. it's easier to digest, supposed to have better -- more insulin that's going to help with diabetics. it's supposed to reduce inflammation. that's great for crohn's. and the literature goes on and on and on. number one, i think if you can afford it. it's $18 per pint. i'd rather put gas in my car than drink camel milk. but also, look, we talked about this mers. middle east respiratory syndrome. but they keep saying it's coming from drinking camel milk. so for me at least i'm not advocate -- >> does it taste like milk? >> it tastes -- it's supposed to taste like vanilla and salt, a little mix of that. but it's as closest as it comes to the mother's milk. now, i don't know if you're up to drinking mother's milk. >> i'm not endorsing it for a

reason i'm going to reveal at the end here. but i will say that it is high in protein, that it's lower in cholesterol, that it's got the kind of fatty acids we like, and most importantly it doesn't cause as much allergies as cow's milk. so maybe these people have to have it because they're allergic to cow's milk and it's good for your immune system. there's big positives. very expensive. but i'm going to reveal now on national tv that i am kosher and will not drink cow's milk because it is not kosher. but other than that -- >> cow's milk? >> i'm sorry. camel's milk is not kosher. camel's milk is not kosher. cow's milk is kosher. camel's milk is not kosher. >> it's supposed to be easier to digest kind of a milk, but i don't think we have enough camels in the country. we have about 5,000 camels. >> a lot of camels to make that milk. >> it's expensive. it's very expensive. and it's got some advantages. so it's for certain people. tastes good. it's got a little too much salt in it. but it's high in protein, low in fat. >> anybody wants to donate a camel for father's day, i'm

ready. >> and scene. happy father's day. happy father's day. that does it for us. >> happy father's day. and of course thank you for watching here on the fox news channel. the iraqi military fires back as al qaeda-linked fighters consolidate their hold over cities in the north and set their sights on baghdad. three years after u.s. troops left iraq president obama considers his options. what should or shouldn't the u.s. do now? chairman of the house foreign affairs committee congressman ed royce will join us live. and in the last few months tens of thousands of children, mostly from central america, have been crossing into the u.s. alone, no parents in sight. now in limbo in holding centers, where will they go and who's to blame for what all sides are calling a humanitarian crisis? my conversation with republican senator jeff sessions, coming up. and the shock waves are still reverberating across capitol hill and the political world after eric cantor's
