grove hospital, an expert on nutrition is here to tell us. should we be ditching our multivitamins? >> i wouldn't ditch your multivitamins right away. i think you need to look at on an individual basis with what you do. one of the things that we do find in the hospital is some people are taking multivitamins and then they have multiple things that they take. and when you see what they take, they have duplicates of several things and the picture ends up with too much of one mineral. >> that makes sense. >> in this particular case, they talked about iron. >> you can over dose on iron. with all minerals, the key is moderation. if you get too little of iron, you are tired, out of breath. no energy for anything. too much and you are storing it in your oregons and all this great process going on.

you want to be in the middle. >> a multilevel is a safe level? >> yes. what they do say in this particular study, they are looking at post menopausal women. the amount of iron drops considerably. it's less than half of what you needed before when you are menstruating. but calcium needs to be taking that. women need to take calcium and vitamin d. >> yes. especially when they are over 50. you need to be taking 1200 milligrams and you have to break it up in the day. if you can have some as a dairy product, that's great. that will give you 300 milligrams. but then the most you can absorb at one time is 500 milligrams. you don't want to take a giant pill and be done for the day. >> really good advice. thank you so much for joining us with insight on this. derek, back to you. >> thanks anita. the office of earl bradley, the former delaware pediatrician convicted of sexual abuse is now being demolished.

doctors. >> good. let's take a listen to your tummy. >> this mobile medical unit has offered physicals and checkups, dental care, and the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses for almost twenty years. southeast residents, like michelle say they can't imagine being without the van. >> my middle daughter, she had asthma real bad. i came to the mobile and they prescribed medicine for her and wala. she is doing wonderful now. >> the van visits 11 sites weekly. most near public housing. the staff provides care and referrals for children with special needs. but most importantly, families without insurance are not turned away. >> we provide services to families where historically there's been a barrier to access of care. where there weren't doctors in the neighborhoods, our vans would go. where there weren't dentists, our vans would go. we provide not only a medical

home, but a home for our families. >> this state of the art medical unit is providing high quality services to approximately 1500 youngsters each year. and it's also giving them a brighter future. >> when you leave here today, you make your dental appointment, okay? >> services we provide are weekly. they are great for our family because we are making sure the family as a whole is getting the best benefit of healthcare. >> once the children is mobile, it was on. i love them. they greeted us. they are wonderful. my kids health is up today. they are all just fine. i have my grandson going on the mobile. what more could you ask for? >> i'm jc hayward, 9news now. >> the foundation donated some $5,000 to the mobile health van. the money will come in handy to help with maintenance costs. for more information, go to

buffalo. mike shanahan just finished up his daily briefing and if you want to know how big sunday's game is, listen to the coach. >> we know how important these division games are and you always want to finish first in your division. we talked about it before. so the emphasis is always there and we know how important these games are, especially at home. we know the situation they are in. we're going to get their best shot. >> big week, big announcement, and we're going big. we are expanding our 9sports team. you know him of course, covered the redskins. first of all, welcome david, it's an honor for me to be working with you. you just heard what mike shanahan had to say. 3-1 at the top of this very uneven nfc east. >> they are the only team that feels good, because the cowboys are coming off that loss against the lions where they blew the biggest lead. the eagles are 1-4 and the giants loss at home to a team

they beat by 37 points. so they feel good about themselves. >> who would have thought that at the beginning of this season? i don't think you would have thought it. we see some of the runningbacks at practice today. let's dig into some of your insight. you are an insider. who starts with this football team at runningback? >> i have to believe it was ryan. hightower is banged up. he has not run well in three out of four games. even if he starts, to me, mike shanahan is a one bat guy and tear rain has every opportunity to have this job and run with it. >> ryan looks like a pretty good choice. the eagles can't stop anybody that has been their mo all season long. you expect the physical back to get the nod from mike shanahan. >> brought him here last year. he obviously likes this guy. a little more recent acquisition. hightower would play as a receiver and a blocker, because he does that well.

>> it's only week five, but if they could beat the eagles, it would be an early blow to philadelphia chances. >> and their best pass rusher and jason, left tackle isn't quite as important, but he is still a pro bowl player. advantage redskins right now. >> i would say so. it's going to be a pleasure working with you. nobody knows the skins like dave. welcome to the team. we look forward to working with you throughout the season. back to you guys. >> we like. right now at 6:00, from coast to coast, to protests to just getting bigger. demonstrators are camped out in cities from new york to ohio to l.a. all of them rallying against what they call corporate greed and the widening gap between the rich and the poor. and there is breaking news right now in the protests here in washington. the standoff between the cops and protesters appears to be done. protesters just announced they made a deal. bruce leshan joins us live. he has the details on any possible deal. what's the deal, bruce? >> well, it sounds
