hello, i'm arthel. >> joining us now is two members

of the fox's medical a-team. the professor of medicine as the lang lin medical center and author of the interpols. chairman and professor of urology. good to see you both. >> doctors, good to see you. >> great to see you. >> of course, we're talking about muhammad ali on this sunday. we know his greatest fight was with parkinson's disease. that was for the last 30 years. dr. sigell, what are the treatments and challenges in and out in parkinsons. he exhibited this defiance inspiring others. >> when he stood up there in 1996 and lit the olympic torch,

he was an inspiration to parkinson sufferers. it can be very debilitating. it can start with a tremor or a loss of the sense of smell. it is a resting tremor. not when you're moving, literally when you're at rest. it looks like you're tried to roll a pill. you get very rigid and your movement is very slow. it is because of a loss of dopamine. more recently for severe cases we're doing deep brain stimulation where we can cut off the electrical signal to the part causing the problem. nerve growth factors are being looked at, they are years away. the courage to overcome and

fight this, muhammad ali was an inspiration. >> i want today ask because dr. sigell did point out about the tremors, is it always very obvious, and what does it do to the body and is there any way to slow it down? >> i think the symptoms could be -- usually this is chronic and progressive. early diagnosis is the way to go. why does this happen. we don't have a real blood test or imaging study. it is all based on clinical symptoms. someone with a shuffled gate. tremors that start with one hand and go to another, and maybe loss of balance. that is parkinson's until proven

otherwise. part of the midbrain doesn't produce that el dopamine. i grew up watching him, but he defeated parkinson's. the brain is not meant to be punched at, and he took thousands of hard punches. what happens is because there is no room in the brain, it will have a ripple factor and it hits the brain back and forth. if it is midbrain you could get parkinson's, and outside could be alzheimer's. and there is scars and plaque that can form in the brain.

i think he should have quit earlier when there was symptoms. but he got the same mechanism of his muscles not functioning in the body. i think he got respiratory in x infection, the infection got into the system and became septic shock and we lost a champ and a hero. >> we're not boxers, we have not been susceptible to that, so what do we do if you're young. i know someone about his age with parkinson's and they live with it. >> there is a much better chance if you have head trama. it increases your risk by four

times. for most, 10% is not related, and for those i would say get seen by a neurologist who is an exneither this. the subtle signs can be seen by a top neurologist that understand what tremor is which. go to a specialist and they will put you on medication early that may make your life a lot easier. in the future we'll have new treatments for this and we need to shed a spotlight on this. he also had a parkinson's center in phoenix. it is very important that we keep doing that in his memory. >> is there a way to slow it down? >> yes, talk to your nutritionist. there is herbs that can mimic what dopamine is. you keep taking more and more of it. talk to an expert in centers of

excellent. it is the way to go. i want to emphasize this deep brain stimulation is a real entity. for a lot of people that tried everything else and fails, now it is making a big difference by putting the mid fiber midbrain and using a pacemaker. it is a real entity. thank you so much. >> thank you. so we're going here now. a ground breaking study that may give doctors a new tool in the fight against pancreatic cancer. why oral health may play a critical role in the early detection of this often deadly disease. a heart attack doesn't care if you run everyday, or if you're young or old. no matter who you are a heart attack can happen without warning. if you've had a heart attack, a bayer aspirin regimen can help prevent another one.

be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. bayer aspirin. every ingredient is the main ingredient. whether it's big... or small. first to go. or best for last. sweet. or not so sweet. whether it's tossed... or twirled. if it's easy prey. or plays hard to get. every last crunch, sprinkle and drip... should be as clean as it is delicious. panera. food as it should be. it's how i try to live... how i stay active. so i need nutrition... that won't weigh me down.

p pan. poor oral health could be associated with this deadly disease. also, how do you know if you have it and what do you do about it? >> it is a lethal weapon. a lot of people may not know what this is or what it does. it sits behind the stomach. it gives you digestive abilities. unfortunately they are always at late advanced stage because

there is at love of room for it to grow. we just got a call from a family friend that say my husband just turned yellow. if you have pain, just don't ignore it. it could be an early sign on pancreatic cancer. unfortunately 40% plus are already advanced. but our skills have improved we can do a lot of surgeries to save these patients. >> usually the pain radiates to the back, and just mal digestion. >> so as what point do i go to the doctor? >> if you take it and it is after fatty food and it goes away, you may be fine.

if you continue to have the problem, don't ignore it. even a month or so can make a big difference. we have tumor markers, we can find fout theout if there is ca. >> yes have a deer friend with that very same thing. stomach pains for awhile. it was digestion, and sadly she had pancreatic cancer. >> by the time you have the symptoms, painle lesless jaundi bloodi bloating. most of the time it's too late.

if we can identify the bacteria in inflammation of the gum that's is associated 60% of the time with pan degrkr pancreatic. by the time you have yellow eyes o or you're losing weight, it's too late. we have to catch it before it escapes the pancreas, but we can't do cat scans on everyone. a ct scan of abdomen is the most. 20% of the time i can do a whipple to remove it. we have to improve our imaging studies, but have to get it earlier. but maybe with something like this, we can find a marker, a bacteria. this bacteria has been found in

06% of sufferers. >> and there is a new test coming up that is very promising. coming from london, and it has three panels that can check for pancreatic tests, and if that pans out, it can change the world. so stay opportunitied, we'll have a update in the next few months. >> and also immotherapy. it has not worked for us, but we're trying to find a way to activate that. >> so important and we're losing too many people. what are the tide effects if you take them for a long term time. we'll have that, next. another day, and i'm still struggling with my diabetes.

i do my best to manage. but it's hard to keep up with it. your body and your diabetes change over time. your treatment plan may too. know your options. once-daily toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly to provide consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours. toujeo® also provides proven full 24-hour blood sugar control and significant a1c reduction. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor.

tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. ask your doctor about toujeo®.

now for our segment "should i worry" where we talk about something that worries us. one viewer writes, i'm a 50-year-old man who have been taking statins for most of my

adult life. although i've had no side effects. but what are the long-term risks? >> i treat this every day. here's the bottom line. everyone who has had heart disease or stroke should be on statins but only 70% who are. for those with risk disease for heart attack or stroke like diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, it cuts down your risk of heart attack, stroke and death. but it also increases your risk of diabetes, muscle problems. i check for muscle problems for everyone i have on this and muscle enzymes, fuzzy thinking or difficulty with memory has not been proven. but if someone complains about it, i will take it seriously, stop it and the problem reverses. >> dr. samadi, you take statins, i think, for high cholesterol. what's considered high cholesterol levels? and how long is too long to take

these statins? >> anything over 200 is high cholesterol. you also have to look at the ratio of bad and good cholesterol. this is a discussion you should have with your cardiologist and medical doctor. i think lipitor and statins are actually good medication and in certain patients who have had heart attack and stroke, it can actually reduce the risk of mortality, i think the whole concept of death from cholesterol -- we need cholesterol. it's a great thing for us. we have it in cell membranes, all over our body. this knee-jerk reaction that everyone should be on lipitor because it can prevent any heart problems, i don't buy it. i think many people are too many medications. the side effects are horrendous. although it's rare, breaking down the muscles and kidney failure, but that has happened. i too, myself, a couple weeks ago i had severe muscle pain,

fatigue, there's some memory loss. there's a lot of debate. i think too many people are taking too many things. let me tell you why i think -- >> i don't think you should treat a number here. you can't treat a number. you have to treat a patient. a patient with risk factors for heart disease up. don't just treat the cholesterol number, you treat the overall risk factor. those at high risk of heart disease or stroke, you really go to this. >> what i was trying to get at, i think for short-term period it's a good thing to go on these medications. mark is the expert in this, but i want people to try to get out of this statin zone, get exercise and healthy food. i know it's the same, boring stuff but short term is the way to go and then get to your normal habits. if you take statins and end up with diabetes, what do we do? we're not helping you. don't be on this for a long time. >> great advice.
