marc siegel, nyu langone medical center. we're not being had here? >> it is not a hoax.e science, i want to say the real issue the headline is at each other's throat over this. another example of the divisiveness of our time. bill: hang on. who is at throats with each other? >> people don't want to be told they're not seeing reality. if you say to someone it is not gold and white, it is black and blue, then the person says, what do you mean? i'm not seeing reality properly? that -- bill: get to the why okay? on the screen now this we have image split three ways. what is in the middle what was posted on twitter, okay? apparently on the right where it is blue and black, that is what? >> that is what the dress actually looks like. i give away the answer. it is actually a blue dress blue and black. bill: stop. what is that on the far left? >> that the way people are seeing it the way the light is hitting it. supposedly there is a blue light. your brain, here is the real issue. your brain take as mental snapshot of colors coming in. it make as decision, your brain or my brain

marc siegel, nyu's langone medical center and author of "the inner pulse: unlocking the code of sicknessnd inner health." >> great to see you both. we have an action-packed show. the hollywood movie shedding light on a debilitating disease. take a look. >> it's called motorneuron disease. life expectancy is two years. >> the brain. what about the brain? >> the brain isn't affected. your thoughts won't change. it's just no one will know what they are. >> that was a clip from the oscar-nominated film "the theory of everything," depicting the life of physicist stephen hawking, following his diagnosis of motorneuron disease, also known as als or lou gehrig's disease. dr. smadi, hocking's an unbelievable person, his perseverance, intelligence, his brilliance, but this terrible disease. >> eric, but even more powerful than this is when you pay attention to this movie, you learn so much not just as a patient but also as a doctor. what is the message that we all learned from this? is that "the theory of everything." it's love is everything, life is everything and hope is everything, which is wha

marc siegel. >> what about the rabbits?n the rabbits, do the tests on rabbits or something? >> that's how come cholesterol is in there it's in there because the studies from 1913 on looked at rabbits, and rabbits are very vulnerable to dietary cholesterol. stuart: you medical people misleading us all these years. have you! >> i have heard good information that you have the metabolism like a rabbit. [ laughter ] >> he does eat cucumbers for lunch. stuart: jon stewart there is leaving "the daily show," like him or not, it's the end of an era. the times he's made me the punch line. >> hold an exclusive event for the president's re-election bid. >> you know what stuart varney, that's a [ bleep ] much. the president is doing fund-raisers, you don't have to put on the accent. you don't need to put that on, that's not right. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a

marc siegel has an answer to that and so many more questions. doc, how does it happen?ually -- it goes down into the stomach and then it makes a right hand turn into the pancreas and there's a lot of bacteria and it can cause contamination. if it's not properly sterilized, then it can be transmitted to other patients. it's not just deadly bacteria but all bacteria we worry about. this one in particular because it's hard to treat. >> when it comes to something like this superbug infecting on this scope, is this an issue of the scope not being sterilized in the right way and in the sense that the superbugs are really hard to kill when they're on the scope? or is it the issue that the superbugs are hard to treat or both? >> well, first of all, it's a great question. it occurs because the scopes aren't in my opinion being properly sterilized and the scope i describe has to be sterilized much more than any other. because it gets into dirty areas. the second problem you pointed to is we're not disinfecting our hospitals properly and we're overusing antibiotics which causes ba

doctor marc siegel weighing in on that after the break. >> the government can say that we won't let youment cannot force needles and pins into your kids skin without your approval the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. tom: gas is on the rise and refinery workers on strike across the u.s., the biggest in 35 years. liz macdonald, a lot of refineries. >> yes, apparently 10% of the refining capacity, the question is will gas prices go up. last time there was an oil refinery strike like this that lasted three months. this was settled earlier that is what we heard from wall street, no confirmation yet. what we need to realize is that oil stocks that used to make gas are at levels unheard of since 1982 when the government started tracking it. even though oil is popping up gas and oil c

stuart: doctor marc siegel talked about nestlÉ. candy bars.vors and colors. you have three children. are you happy with that? >> it is fabulous. they do not have these things every day. will it make or break my kids health at the end of the day? probably not. it will just make holiday and easter that much more healthier. this is not something that is part of the basic food groups that you are eating every day. maybe the moms will be more inclined to buy them. stuart: tracy byrnes looks out for basic food groups before she feeds her children. will any ills. ditching their tv sets in record numbers. 20% fewer young people are watching primetime tv then were four years ago. >> will leave it. i absolutely believe it. everyone is on their own devices watching something. stuart: my generation always complained that or mom came home from work, the kids were watching tv. >> nobody is talking to each other. >> they can multitask. stuart: i talk to my kids on this. i think communication is good. >> i do not think it is fair to say they are not indicatin

marc siegel says cre is hard to catch. >> i don't expect this to cause an outbreak in the community. this bacteria is not airborne. we have been talking about measles. this is nothing on that order. >> reporter: ucla says the patients who may have been infected have been sent home testing kits. martha: what can be done to stop it? >> reporter: medical experts say medical equipment need to be better sterilized, better cleaned. ucla says it did sterilize its enditsendoscopes. and the medical industry needs to create new antibiotics to better fight super bugs like this. bill: from the deep south to the upper midwest and northeast much of the country locked in a deep arctic freeze. how cold? zero in atlanta with the with. all right. so how about this, folks. jeb bush says the u.s. is no longer the super power that it once was thanks in part to the obama administration's policies. is he right. our fair and balanced political panel take that on. >> the president should call on leaders of both parties to fix the budget and address the short falls in our defense spending. he should show lead

marc siegel takes a look.ctor, thanks for being with us. >> good morning doc. >> how accurate is this story for folks dealing with lou gehrig's disease? >> i think this film was incredible in terms of eddy's performance. stephan hocking has been involved in. this he lent his voice to this. hockings said famously look up at the stars and not down on your feet. black holes and putting together great with quantum theory and relativity. he has lived to the age of 73 with lou gehrig's disease almost unheard of. a lot of lieu gehrig's. slow loss of muscle and ability to coordinate muscle to it where he started falling, to where his breathing got affected. to where his swallowing and voice got effected extremely accurate. i think. hocking himself weighed in on this and said the film was very accurate. >> you see how the caretakers. the spouse of the patient very often are dealt the burden of dealing with them and gladly in some cases. >> speaking of the burden and having to deal with an affliction like this. julianne

marc siegel is here. wait a second. i didn't have a flu.as not diagnosed with the flu. >> you emailed me and said you didn't have the flu. >> i don't know that. what were your symptoms? >> i didn't go to the doctor. you cannot diagnosis me with the flu. besides, i was incapable of getting out of the room. and therefore, i was looking for a doctor who does house calls, and i couldn't find one. >> i have a show called house calls. how did you know i wouldn't do a house call? stuart: i'm still not going to get a flu shot next year because i don't believe they're effective, but i will have my children and grandchildren they're already vaccinated against the measles. i think that's a responsible position to take, do you not? >> i don't think that's a farfetched position. listen certainly the measles mumps vaccine is better than the flu shot. this year's flu shot only 30 to 40%. but i'm still wondering you may have had one of those cases which knock you out and you have to stay in the house for a week. a flu shot may have helped you. i don't see

marc siegel from the fox medical a team joins us live. this survey and talked about it in an advertising journal. they said you've got the stuff from the c.d.c. and some other organization, all official. but many people trusted the comments from anonymous people they did not know who were fake than the c.d.c. >> three out of four people go on-line to get their health information. that is where the problem start. i think it is because parents are very nervous and worried about their children and they see a change of behavior and they don't want to hear you're imagining things. i think as physicians we first have to understand that if this problem exists maybe we're not doing a good enough job taking people seriously. we can't be dogmatic. we have to hear people's fears and respond. whether it is fear of measles, mere of vaccines. if people go to the internet they are not going to find the answer. it is too contradictory the wild west. >> what do we need to know about vaccines? >> i think vaccines are predominantly safe and i think they've

marc siegel. sunny side up? >> i don't want to go that far yet.ize that cholesterol in your blood is bad for you. that causes heart disease. if you have high cholesterol level and your doctor says bad cholesterol is high, it's bad for your heart. what's this saying is you may eat an egg or shrimp and lobster and it may not end up in your arteries. only 25% of the time do we think that's the case. this is being changed because people may be able to eat an egg and not end up with a higher cholesterol level. that's really good news. >> they say it's genetics and not food. if you fall into that 25%, you're not off the hook. that food could pose a potential danger for you. >> i look at people at high risk for heart disease like diabetics and if you have a family history. i'm more concerned about saturated fats. all of that dairy. all of that milk. all of that fatty meat. that's what i'm really worried about. >> good to keep in mind. thanks for clarifying that for us. let me ask you about this. can snorting chocolate like cocaine be good for someone? th

marc siegel the unintended consequence of a woman like that smoking -- >> we have a lot of pot videos's legal i can smoke it. it's safe. it is not safe for your unborn child. here is dr. siegel. >> there's direct impact on the fetus that could affect brain development. two studies out last year shows that it affects how nerves conduct in the brain of an unborn child. kids that are on marijuana when they're born -- they didn't intend to be on it. they end up having problems in school, judgment problems making decisions. behavior problems, more adhd and later on problems when they grow up. >> they're looking at this now because a few days ago nine former heads of the dea, republicans and democrats with concerns of this new emerging health crisis. before what they were looking at kids who accidentally ingested edible pot from their parents who were ending up in the emergency room. now they're saying let's take it a step further and look at the baby in the womb. >> we were talking in the break with judge napolitano. he said in some states if a woman who is pregnant takes a drug or smokes
