since the 1990s, painkillers like vicodin and percocet have become household names, often prescribed to treat severe pain following an injury or major surgery. the number of deaths from abusing those kind of drugs has soared since 2001. the centers for disease control is now urging doctors to reconsider whether prescription painkillers are really necessary in certain cases. >> the point is that they work great in the short term. they don't work very well if used daily over many weeks. the reason for that is because the body adapts to the presence of the opioid. >> reporter: for some, that means needing increasingly high doses, which can lead to addiction. the obama administration has already called for $1.1 billion in new funding for addiction treatme treatment. what about the roughly 100 million americans who live with chronic pain? there are other options. >> physical therapy,

shouldn't be used at all for pain, but because they don't work long term, we need to retrench and think about other ways to treat it. >> i've binterviewed so many people who wish they were never given the prescription following a surgery or car accident. they've end upded up an addict. when they become too expensivex they switch to heroin. >> dr. mehmet oz joins us now. >> the cdc has gotten involved in this and pushed medicine more further along. 20 years ago, when i was training, we were pushed to consider pain as the fifth vital sign. it was a worthy endeavor. medicine was trying t

over 100 million americans who suffer pain. we went too far. we stopped discusses, what is the amount of pain you can tolerate? we gave you a false promise that we can solve all your pain and it comes with consequences. as we push doctors to prescribe more pain medications, we on byline -- obliged. the average person on pain medications are construction workers who worked every day of their lives, hurt their back, and within a week or two, they're hooked. >> as a patient, i have an assumption what a doctor is giving me is safe. do we need new rules of the road for doctors when they can prescribe and how much? >> we have new rules. we have had a year-long program working with the american dental association, the association of family physicians, may jjor medl groups asking questions. patients need to ask

questions. do i need the med? how long do i need it for? you shouldn't get more than three days of narcotics. i'm a heart surgeon. i can send people home after opening their chest with over-the-counter medications like motrin. most don't need narcotics. if they get it, it should only be two or three days. you don't want it. it's danger in your home. >> there are people that have chronic pain and motrin doesn't do the trick. they go to pain specialists. people can chronic back pain. what are they supposed to do? >> there are folks who have chronic pain. i'm excluding the cancer pain patients because it's a different category. there is a disconnect here. chronic pain isn't all that well managed with narcotics. exercise is a much more effective therapy. i mentioned over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen, which works well for a lot of folks. there's hypnosis and alternative approaches. acupuncture, chiropractors mig

search for those first. yes, there are people who need opioids. no question. but not the dramatic number we've been giving out. >> you brought an number new drug, saving lives. it can stop an overdose from heroin. >> if you have narcotics in your life, pick up one of these. three versions of the same basic drug which is an immediate antidote from an overdose of opiates. walgreen's will have it by the end of the year. we're discussing in washington the legalization of this medication. it's a medication without side effects. these are in your nose, in infusions. this is like an epipen. they save lives. we gave away 50,000 of these to a company and they've saved 1,000 lives already, just from having it around. within 30 seconds, you're awake. >> used to be more controversial in your reporting, kate. >> we did a series on heroin two years ago on the program and

were worried about if it was so prevalent -- the governor of maine at the time was resistant to having this drug available, even to ems. now, we're at the point it's over the counter in cvs. >> if anyone had narcotics at home, half the people who get narcotics get it from people other than a doctor. crush it up and toss it in the trash. they're fire. don't have it in there. >> kate and dr. oz, thank you very much. you can see more of dr. oz on the dr. oz show on weekdays. check your local list igs. sheinelle has the buzz over lemonade and the message beyonce is sending after this.

i have to start with the iconic shot, perhaps the most famous photograph in sports photography. this is 1965. tell us how you got the picture. >> wherever one uses the word "luck," you found like you're being modest. in sports photography, luck is key. look at the photography between ali's legs. he was my competition in "sports illustrated." i got lucky. when you get lucky, don't miss. i didn't miss. >> what's interesting about this, a lot of people initially view the picture as a taunt by ali, standing over him, but that's not what happened, right? >> you have to focus the camera, wait for the strobe lights to recycle. i had no idea what i had. that evening, you don't see the replay on the news at night. probably six months, maybe a year later, i saw a video of it and couldn't believe how quickly it'd happened. >> these are twin kenyan brothers.

actually, that's your favorite ali shot, right? >> my favorite. that's my favorite because it wasn't luck. i planned that. you know, i worked on that. i got it exactly the way i dreamed of getting it. it was the only picture i've ever taken in my career that i wouldn't change a thing? >> let's jump ahead to 1984, kenyan twin runners. how did you incorporate the giraffes? >> olympic preview for "time" magazine. i traveled the world photographing athletes in front of the picture post guard of their country. a greek at the parthenon. an egyptian discus thrower in front of the pyramids. i wanted the animals with two of the great kenyan distance runners. there is a wrangler in nairobi who sets up movie sets, so the animals appear -- >> giraffe

>> animal wrangler. he fed the giraffe in that spot for three days. sure enough, they showed up. we had four but two got frightened by a buffalo. i was lucky with those two. >> great picture. this is incredible. a lot of people know you for your sports photographs. you've done so much more over the course of 50 years. fidel castro lighting your cigar. what were the circumstances? >> this was the last picture in the olympic preview i did. i appealed to the cubans and said, fidel castro is the picture postcard of cuba. i wanted to photograph their great boxer with fidel castro, with a cigar holding up their arms. when the cubans agreed, i had a great session. i ask the subject if i can take a picture. i had this idea when i left new york. i looked at castro and said, could i ask a special favor? coul

lighting my cigar? he loved the idea. that's how it happened. i don't smoke. the match kept burning his fingers. went through two matches. he was getting a little upset because i couldn't get the cigar lit. >> before we go, i love this picture. jfk and lbj at a ball game in 1961. >> when the washington senators played, it was tradition for the president to throw out the opening pitch on opening day. i went to griffith stadium. he's sitting with lyndon johnson. the president didn't do a thing for seven or eight innings. johnson ate a couple hot dogs. in the seventh or eighth inning, it got cold. two things happened. the president put his coat on, and he put a hat on, which caroline kennedy told me years later she never saw a picture of him with a hat on. wore a top hat. there was a foul ball that went in the direction of the presidential box. i like to call it the kennedy administration leaning to the left. >> we've only scratched the surface. this is a remarkable

bill fixers and bill cutters. they'll essentially do it for you. sometimes you'll be on the line with them. sometimes they will masquerade as you. they take 50% of the first year's savings for doing this for you. >> i'll take off one of my shoes, too, in solidarity. well done. >> thank you. >> for more advice on how to trim down your bills, today.com. we're back in a moment. this is "today" on nbc.

with parchment. set that down. we are going to take a pearing knife and score the dough. don't cut through the dough, but lightly score the dough, drawing a rectangle. we're leaving an inch border around the puff pastry. we just do that. then we're going to take a fork and pierce the center. what's going to happen while this is baking, the edge is going to puff up. that's going to become a crust. >> okay. we have it right here on this side. already baked. >> we want to bake this in a 400 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes. this is ready to go. we want to spread on some honey dej dijon mustard. >> we have 30 seconds. >> i couldn't get that flavor. >> then coat it with the cheese? >> if you have kids at home, i know you do, and i do,
