and my new governor, dr. john kansas city hopper -- and there are going to be others -- very much wants to speed up the opportunity for the states to be innovative, to have a chance to champion approaches that insure we don't have one size fits all health care. that they have an opportunity for flexibility, more choice and more competition. would you be open within the department, because it has to be a departmental effort, to start reaching out now with the governors to start looking for ways to be encouraging of this approach that would give not just my state, but every state as much flexibility as possible as soon as possible to be innovative? >> yes, senator. i would. the cliche about states as laboratories of democracy is not just a cliche, it's true. and the diversity of approach that we're seeing emerge state by state, it's been there a long time. i think we should do everything in consistent with protecting the trust fund and protecting the well being of beneficiaries. releasing this kind of state energy i

dr. clark, we were talking about, john was talking about complicating factors in terms of health challenges that may present at the time of intake for some special population individuals. can you address, continue to address that? well, one of the things that we at samhsa are stressing is that every person who has a mental health issue or substance use issue needs to also get a good physical health assessment. one of the things we know about the misuse of alcohol or drugs is that it does have an effect on the organic integrity of the body. so you may get liver disease, you may get gastritis, you may get heart disease, you're at greater risks for various infections like hepatitis c or hiv. and we want to make sure that anybody who is on the course of recovery has as much information as possible. there was one quote i read recently and a guy says, "i spent all this time using alcohol and drugs and shooting up, etc., etc., so i finally get into treatment only to discover that i have hepatitis c." so we want to have that as an integral part because that becomes part of the cultural dynamic. and

dr. susan ford is a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at st. john's university. are these dosages enough to really harm someone or kill someone? >> yes. those are... these are 250 milligrams and that is the fatal dose. >> reporter: so just that much sodium cyanide is enough to kill me. >> yes, it is. >> reporter: leading to a difficult debate-- the need to inform the public without alarming it. michael, these things are a delicate dance on a good day. >> correct. >> reporter: former homeland security secretary michael chertoff. >> a threat that you might feel is sufficiently specific and credible to tell the people who are professionally involved might not be specific or credible enough to tell the general public. >> reporter: chertoff says it's important to let public health officials know that what looks like food poisoning could be a terrorist attack. in a statement late today, a d.h.s. spokesman told cbs news "we are not going to comment on reports of specific terrorist planning." but the fact remains the government and hospitality industry are on alert. arme

dr. gupta, do we know why jim gets it and john doesn't? >> well, that's an interesting question.ot of people sort of subscribe to the idea that, you know, you may be born with some sort of predisposition, if you will, some likelihood of getting cancer and then something in the environment or something that you have done to your own body in some way may sort of cause the cancer to actually happen. so it could be that, but there's still sort of bewildering questions. we talked a lot for example afternoon peter jennings when he developed lung cancer and he had been a smoker and then dana reeve developed cancer and had never been a smoker. >> larry: it is a puzzle. why does -- when it kills us, what kills us? why do we die? >> well, much like the disease itself is heterogene you. in most cases, cancer kills through metastasis that's when cells go to different parts of the body and take over different parts of the body. but that's not always the reason. in the case of leukemia which is a cancer of the white blood cells that grows in the bone marrow. lots of time they die from infectio
