do you urinate less than two hours after you've just finished? do you start and stop several times while urinating? do you have a weak urine stream? when you have to go, do you feel an urgency like you might have an accident? do you strain or push? and finally, do you get up two or more times a night? if you answered yes to any of these questions, you may already have an enlarged prostate, and if you've answered yes to more than one, you've got to do something about it now. >> and prosvent can help? >> prosvent can absolutely help, and it does it without side effects. prescription drugs can help, but they do it with side effects that may diminish your sex life. and surgery, while it can sometimes help, can be bloody, dangerous, and often has to be repeated. >> how long till they start seeing changes? >> many men will see changes within two weeks, but most will experience benefits within 30 days. >> if you or someone you love suffers from the symptoms of an enlarged prostate-- frequent

2:05 am
enlargement continues, but now symptoms begin to occur. the prostate squeezes the urethra, slows the urine, ultimately stopping the urine flow. recently, i sat with a group of men who'd been experiencing some of those symptoms. this was the first time they'd talked in a group. >> i can't remember the last night i didn't have to get up four or five times. i mean, i was saying it to myself just two or three nights ago, "god, wouldn't it be nice to experience an eight-hour uninterrupted sleep?" >> when you get to a certain point, it's almost like being a drug addict, where you're worrying about your next drug. i'm worrying about where the next bathroom is. if i'm on a plane, am i in the aisle seat? the worst one was, though, i took my son to go see the last lord of the rings. i thought it was a two-hour movie. i'm in there-- i make it two hours on the nose. all of a sudden, this thing's going, and i'm going, "oh, no." >> you're going, "throw the ring, throw the ring..." >> please... is this the end? >> i got news for you. i'm very happy that my wife is an r.n.
2:06 am
she worked in a hospital, and we used to get urine... the urine cups. put it in the trunk. i'd reach down, "hello there, how's everything?" [laughter] "oh, yeah, sure, fine." >> i thought it was normal to pee two or three times a night. >> sometimes my doctor would say, "you know, you're not 21 anymore," so i just sort of wrote it off as that. until finally he said, "well, just how many times are you going," you know? i said, "five, six, sometimes seven." >> you got up five or six, seven times a night? >> yeah. >> you didn't think there was something strange about every hour-- did you ever sleep? >> i thought what goes in goes out. >> are we that stupid or that embarrassed over something that we shouldn't be embarrassed about? >> yes! >> i think embarrassed and, um, living in denial. >> we notice these changes so subtly that they don't really register, and that's why we always become aware of a problem when it's too late. >> the truth is that now i start mentioning it to my friends. i go up to guys that, you know, when i'm standing at the urinal and there's a guy standing next to me and he's slower than i am, i ask him how long his prostate's been enlarged... [laughter] and he doesn't know
2:07 am
what the hell i'm talking about. >> it's a great pickup line, absolutely. [laughter] >> man: does he slug you? >> in the john-- they love me for that! [laughter] ...what happened when you started taking prosvent? >> it probably took, you know, maybe two weeks-- 10 days to two weeks-- before i really started knowing-- instead of three times a night, i might get up once now, and i had one or two nights where i didn't get up at all. i was, like, shocked. i mean, i hadn't slept through an entire night maybe 10 years. i like it. i'm taking it. >> i am very happy. i am thrilled beyond compare. i mean, i take the stuff and, hey, i'll sleep all night long. >> it's really funny. i was just-- we went on a trip. my wife and i said, "let's get away before the holiday." so we had to sit in the car. >> oh, boy. >> oh, boy. >> before i started taking... i would have had a fit, but i was o.k. i was really surprised. say, six, seven months ago, no. so i love it. it's a great product. >> when does someone-- when should you start doing something about all this? >> at the first sign of any symptoms, that is, that your urinary stream has gotten a little narrower, or you wake up
2:08 am
once a night, or you find that you can't make it through the whole movie, that's when you absolutely should start treating it so you don't progress to three of four times wakening at night. >> for me it's remarkable, because i found it to be, you know, probably one of the, maybe the most significant, lifestyle- altering things, and that's, that's huge. >> having gone through what i've gone through, had that been available when i was in my mid- 20s, i certainly would have talked to my doctor about it, you know, 'cause i mean, i wouldn't wish what i've gone through on anybody. >> if no one takes anything else away from this show, i want them to figure out what's going on, because being silent is being stupid, and i don't want to be stupid anymore. >> absolutely. >> nope. >> right. >> tell us again about what's in prosvent. >> prosvent has a unique combination of natural substances and minerals that both help alleviate symptoms and protect the prostate's health. there's pygeum africanum, stinging nettle, pumpkin seed
2:09 am
oil, and saw palmetto. acting together and in concert, they inhibit prostate enlargement, reduce frequent overnight urination, lessen urgency, and dramatically increase urine flow, but we wanted an even more comprehensive formula, so to all of that we added lycopene, a powerful anti-oxidant, plus zinc and vitamin d for overall prostate health. >> before i did anything, i would always go to the restroom. leave the house, go to the restroom. when you get to the next destination, go to the restroom. i haven't experienced that since i've been taking the pill. so it definitely has improved my daily routine and the quality of my life. >> it happens every two, three hours, and then, as i said, when i get up and go to the restroom, come back to bed, i, i have problems to go back to sleep, you know? now that after taking this pill for two weeks now, it helps me a lot, you know? i think i'm more productive and more restful during the day also. >> if somebody had the same symptoms that i had, i would tell them to try this product because of the fact that
2:10 am
i don't want them to be an idiot like i was. >> he was on a constant search for whatever bathroom he could get to in whatever quick amount of time he could get there, and this has enabled him to see life a little bit differently. >> it made my husband a completely different person, and i'm not crabby either, because he kept waking me up every time he would get up. i'm very happy for him, and i'm happy for me too. >> so many times wake up at night-- five, six times at night-- and even for only a few drops, and i have to go. i cannot hold. so my life is a lot better now. it has changed my life, changed my life. >> there was some times when i didn't quite make it to the, to a bathroom sometimes, some places, but now, oh, jeez, i can't... i just can't get over how great these here pills work. >> the best thing about taking prosvent is, not only do i not have to get up three or four
2:11 am
times a night, but i don't have to take drugs. >> now is your chance to order. you really can change your life for the better. and still ahead, we have callers with questions for dr. may. >> announcer: do you or someone you love make too many trips to the bathroom? suffer from urgency that is hard to control? have a weak stream or find it difficult to start and stop? do you get up more than once a night or find it next to impossible to sit through a movie? worse yet, is a diminished sex drive destroying your life? if you answered yes to more than one of those questions, you are probably one of the 30 million men who suffer from an enlarged prostate. until now, you had three choices: take expensive drugs with potentially serious side effects, suffer painful and bloody surgery that often must be repeated, or try and live with it. you don't have to live

2:15 am
we can only tell you that with time they will get worse. but if you start prosvent, it has the ingredients that will reverse that process, and from the day you start, the healing will begin. >> our next caller is lou from new york. do you have a question for the doctor? >> hi, yes, doctor. i'm 62 years old, and i'm having some of the symptoms you're discussing today. can some of these lead to cancer? >> lou, the simple answer is no, but the man of 62 who has benign prostatic enlargement is also the man who is at risk for cancer. remember, i encourage every man at the age of 50 to see their physician, have a digital rectal exam, and get a p.s.a. measure. you've got to rule out cancer. then prosvent can help alleviate the problems of an enlarged prostate and increase your overall prostate health. >> barbara: and no side effects? >> these ingredients have been studied countless times with thousands of patients and no side effects.
2:16 am
>> i'm glad to say we have a woman on the line. francine from philadelphia, what's your question for dr. may? >> i'm really worried about my husband. he says he's fine, but i know something's wrong with him because he just gets up all night long to go to the bathroom, and when he goes to the bathroom, he's in there forever. he said nothing's wrong because his p.h.-- p.s., whatever you call it, p.s.a.-- is negative, and he just won't talk about it. what should i do? >> francine, you've got to talk to him. understand that it's unlikely that he has cancer. that's what the p.s.a. means. but those symptoms are horrible, and they're interfering with his life and yours, and you've got to persuade him that there is something that can be done and he doesn't have to live with those symptoms. >> this is a perfect example of how it not only affects the man but his loved one too. i can't believe how men just think this is gonna go away. francine, if you're still there, you got to pick up the phone and you got to order this for him, put it down, and make him take
2:17 am
it, because it's not gonna only help him, it's gonna help you and your relationship before it gets any bigger problems. >> and he's gonna be grateful for your help. >> all right, we have time for one more caller, dr. may. neil from los angeles. how are you doing, neil? you have a question? >> yes, doctor, you know, i've been having these symptoms that you've been describing for many years now, and you know, i've tried a lot of things. why don't i just have the prostate removed? >> that's a good question. >> neil, your body is not like a car. you can't just change the oil filter. you may be trading a bad problem for a worse one. if you have your prostate removed, you run the risk of damaging the nerves and winding up incontinent, impotent. it is not the treatment of choice. it is truly your last resort. >> now, we only have a couple of minutes left. is there anything else that you want to add? >> the problem of an enlarged prostate is inevitable. it's going to happen to every man listening out there today. so far it's been a silent epidemic. don't be afraid to talk about it.
2:18 am
don't be embarrassed. don't wait until the problems overtake your life. if you have a family history of prostate problems or have any symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, hesitancy, getting up frequently at night, pain or discomfort when urinating, or a diminished sex drive, try prosvent today. get back your life. >> for dr. may and myself, thank you for joining us and be well. [♪...] >> i had run out of the samples at one time, and i noticed going back to getting up once a night, then twice a night, and i said-- that's when i really realized that i really-- this product was really working and that i should continue taking it. >> going to bed and being able to get a full night's sleep, get up in the morning, and make believe i'm a racehorse was unbelievable. >> i want to be healthy, and i am. maybe i'm a little overweight, but that's because i eat too many cookies, but what are you gonna do? >> announcer: introducing

2:20 am
2:21 am
powerful people have asked what does henry think? and he has never been shy about telling them. >> dr. henry kissinger -- >> schieffer: he first appeared on this broadcast on november 10, 1957. he was a harvard professor and he had just written a book called nuclear weapons and foreign policy. >> the point is that the soviet union possesses a growing nuclear stockpile and that the choice that a war is going to be conventional or nuclear is no longer up to us. >> schieffer: kissinger would go on to be richard nixon's national security advisor. he received the nobel prize for getting peace starts talked on vietnam and was point man for the opening to china and invited the effort to forge new arms agreements with the soviet union. the media loved him. he became secretary of state and as watergate exploded kept american foreign policy together at a time when america had never
2:22 am
been more vulnerable. as an elder statesman he is still working to eliminate nuclear weapons and his advice is still eagerly sought by world leaders. and is syrians -- when we sat down what i wanted to know was why all of a studied russia president putin want to work with the united states on syria. >> i would think its biggest security problem is radical islam. and he does not want to, the united states to look totally irrelevant in the middle east, because otherwise he would be stuck with having to deal with radical islam. so it is part of this competition that is partly inherent in the russian american relationship, and there is also a necessity for the selfish interests of both sides for cooperation, and especially if
2:23 am
one looks at the long-term situation of russia, the long frontiers and covering a large -- in a sense, you can trust him but not all of a sudden he has been converted to our point of view. >> schieffer: where do you see this going? >> well, i have been in the minority that have believed that focusing syria policy on the removal of assad was not the best way to go. it did not seem to me to be a fight between assad and the people, it was a fight between the alawite shoo shy a, shia group and the sunni group, so the removal of one man was not a problem but the coexistence of these two groups is an element of pa peace and therefore, paradoxically a total victory
2:24 am
for one side would lead to the high probability of a massacre. i think we now have a possibility that we can talk about the element of peace and that russia and we, together with other interested countries, can distill out of can chemical removal, removal of chemical weapons, some sort of peace process. >> schieffer: the visit of iran's new leader to the, mthis week and his recent declaration that iran will never build a nuclear weapon has prompted some to say the president should push for a face-to-face meeting. kissinger says not just yet. >> it has been building with great energy a nuclear program, iran has, and i would be more at ease if the meeting of the president occurred at the end of
2:25 am
some diplomatic achievement, but i can see the temptation. >> schieffer: with so many common interests, kissinger believes the united states and iran can resolve their differences, but if iran is allowed to develop nuclear weapons, the middle east would be vastly different. >> the security element for countries in the region would be -- would be totally changed. it is not just toward israel, which would be, of coursing, directly under the gun, but countries like saudi arabia, turkey, egypt, would have enormous temptations to which they would succumb. to get some kind of nuclear capability. so if we want to start a nuclear arms race and if one really wants to have a, a more
2:26 am
transquill region then iran should not have nuclear weapons. >> schieffer: kissinger says government gridlock and things like the stop and start decision-making process on syria caused the world to leak on america with some uncertainty. still, he is optimistic about america's place in the world. >> we are on the way to solve the problem by becoming a, but, by becoming a major player in the energy situation of the world, other countries like china and even russia have enormous challenges that are concentrating on domestic affairs, so if we can get our economy going in which again the energy situation helps, which in turn will help in terms of
2:27 am
manufacturing of the united states, if we are a brilliant chess player and, the rest of the world and the united states, you would play the american hand, but it requires that we have -- an understandable direction and with some unity. >> schieffer: henry kissinger. here to talk about what he had to say this morning and more on all of what we have discussed on the broadcast this morning, our panel and we want to start by congratulating nancy gibbs, who was named managing editor of time magazine last week. she has been here on face the nation many times. her colleague, bobby ghost, time national times editor and chief washington correspondent for the new york times david sanger with us this morning and own political director john dickerson. bobby and david, let me start with you, because i know both of
2:28 am
you have been getting ready for this u.n. session to get started, the iranians coming here and so forth. first, kissinger's theme, i was a little bit surprised that he is fairly optimistic about this syrian deal that he thinks it might work. >> he does, and, you know, just in the past 24 hours, bob, the syrians have turned in the first piece of homework they were given, which was an accounting of their chemical weapons stockpiles. we haven't seen it publicly yet but from what we have heard about it yet it sounds at least credible. the hardest question then is what do we do for the next step. when they let the inspect tors in let them know where it is and get in on this very rapid effort to disarm them. i don't know anybody who believes that syria can get disarmed over the next year which is what the agreement calls for. but as long as they are in the process i think it is probably very difficult for them to
2:29 am
launch a chemical attack on anybody, and so in that case it may have a good deal of deterrence underway. >> schieffer: and, bobby, let me ask you about what dr. kissinger said on the iranians. he said maybe not right now on a face the nation, face-to-face meeting with president obama. what are your syrian -- i mean, your iranian sources tell you? do they want a meeting right now? where are they on all of this? are they serious with these feelers they are putting out, do you think. >> they would like a handshake and like more, but they also, we have been seeing more of the iranians in the last few days than we have in the last five years, and there is clearly a big push to take advantage of this moment, to present rowhani as the kinder gentler face of iran and the change in tone is very important .. and it is not to be taken lightly. that having been said i think
2:30 am
kissinger is right that there has to be more than language. they have to show more good faith before they can get a meeting. i think there has been a change in tone from the administration as well, a little more substitute, perhaps, but the total exchanges are where they ought to be but now something concrete needs to be brought to the table and the iranians need to show they are serious. they have offered to help out with syria, but i think we are -- we probably don't need them for that at the moment. the central issue is their nuclear program. what can they do to reassure us, the neighborhood and the rest of the world. >> schieffer: well, david, what do you think has caused this change? >> well, the main thing that caused it it is one of these rare moments where international sanctions have worked. the iranians have seen their oil export revenue drop by more than half, their currency has crashed. he can't get their ships around to a lot of places in the world
