samadi.> if you look at all the studies out there, there's no research or proof this is an airborne virus. we're talking about flu, which is airborne, meaning if you sneeze, many feet away you may be exposed to this. this is not the case with this virus. we also know that droplets can be affected. for example, if somebody sneezes, it can stay on the door knob, on a dry surface, for about three hours or so. the flu can stay for many days. >> i would agree because i think one of the things you mentioned at the top of the hour that we should take some comfort in is that all those individuals in dallas that were exposed to mr. duncan over a protracted period of time, besides the nurses that took care of him, those people were probably exposed to hugging, to intimate exact, to sharing dinner tables. none of those patients have become positive for ebola. so i think there is some comfort in it's got to be contact with body fluids. unfortunately, the nurses exposed were probably exposed to a large am

david samadi onset with me. to keep people calm, i would imagine in your area of ohio, you've had to have a lot of conversations with the medical staff you lead. what have you been able to tell them? >> we really have had a lot of conversations, both with the medical staff, the nursing staff, and with the general public. number one that we believe the chance of us getting a case of ebola is still very, very low. we believe the people that came in contact with the nurse when she was in northeast ohio is a finite number. the contact would probably not lead to ebola. having said that, we have to prepare. we have to be ready to screen these patients, to isolate these patients and to care for these patients. so we really -- since that news hit last week, we've ramped up our plans big time. >> dr. samadi just brought up a really big, important point about screening at the airport. fever may not be the best way. so what are our options at this point? if we're going to continue to let flights route through different cou

samadi bringing you into this. people are wondering sure this lady is a health worker, she has a family that she's in contact with. we're not trying to incite panic. you tell me your take on this. >> my take is totally different. and i think someone said that you are the only doctor so far that has talked about closing the flights out. i have no problem with america saving the world. i have no problem with us sending humanitarian, our soldiers, building all these ebola treatment centers over there. but there are a lot of rituals and burial rituals, there's a lot of things that are coming out of this, and we don't completely understand ebola. you have to tell me, how exactly the nbc cameraman got ebola just from shooting the video. you have to tell me how the nurse -- >> excuse me one minute. >> -- how she was able to put the gloves on her face and got ebola. >> we're not talking about that case. we're talking about the nurse in the hospital here. you're going to incite panic here. >> no, no, no. -- >> on national t

samadi, welcome, as always. >> good to be here. >> good to see both of you, doctors. we're awaiting a major announcement from the cdc on ebola. the agency is set to issue clearer guidelines about the way doctors, nurse and other health care providers should protect themselves when it comes to getting contact with infected patients, specifically when it comes to their protective gear. dr. samadi, i want to start with you, and i want you to talk to us about the importance of a uniform standard of guidelines for all hospitals. >> this is going to play a huge role because cdc so far has been sending a lot of mixed messages, great institution, but when it came to this disease a lot of statements went out which was not appropriate. every hospital in america can take care of this virus. now we're finding out that our nurses and doctors are not really prepared for this. the whole concept about what to wear. right now the guidelines are that you would wear a pair of gloves. you would wear the gown. you want to make sure that you wear a mask, et cetera, but these guidelines are

samadi, there are people out there who have that same question. why aren't we cutting off flights from these countries at the moment from people coming in from the countries where it's just an outbreak there. >> you have to let me speak. because if i can't get the word out, then there's no issue to do this. you don't have any vaccine right now, right? the vaccines will come many the next few months. you're not prepared to have the antibodies. all i'm saying is, until we get our emergency rooms ready, until we get our act ready and until we understand exactly how the virus is going to spread, i will tell you, mr. president, bring up those walls. control the flights out. you have to protect americans. this whole thing about, we are going to be okay, we are going to be okay. there will be no more number of e bo bola ebolas. this is not to create panic. they stid a great job with s.a.r.s. wear your mask, the airlines were ready. >> they stopped flights in toronto, canada. >> right. so the cdc should not say 1.4 million people are going to be affected

david smam samadi and harris faulkner will be here at 4:00 p.m.stern time, "ebola in america" and we'll continue our conversation with our doctors on "sunday house call" which is momentarily coming up on the fox news channel. stick around for that. . >>> and it's time now for "sunday house call." i'm eric shawn. >> and i'm arthel neville. welcome now is dr. david samadi. >> and as always dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine at langone medical center. he's not in the studio today. he's joining us live from las vegas where he's giving a talk at gathering of the american academy of dermatology. dr. siegel, dr. samadi, welcome, as always. >> good to be here. >> good to see both of you, doctors. we're awaiting a major announcement from the

samadi, you're up on this one.ant to find out how much time in the sun are we talking, and also, do you have to couple that with over-the-counter vitamins, like vitamin d-3 as well? >> yes, this is actually a big, big news. we've been talking about vitamin d when it comes to prostate cancer, dementia, many other diseases, even cognitive skills. when it comes to prostate cancer, there are recent studies coming in that low vitamin d is associated to very aggressive prostate cancers. we didn't know exactly how vitamin d is going to prevent prostate cancer. now we have the answers. we think that sun activates that vitamin d under your skin. once it's activated, it activates another gene. that's what inhibited inflammation and the tumor growth. big news. for a lot of people who are thinking about taking vitamin d, you should be taking at least 1,000 iu a day. that's minimum. talk to your doctors and find out exactly. this is great news for people that are taking this. now, low vitamin d increases prostate cancer, causes

doctor david samadi, you get the last word.view on that travel ban and what we have to do to assure the american public that they are safe. >> i think showing the american public is critical. i think one good move that was made yesterday's the establishment of the emergency operations center. that is something that we desperately needed to get started now that the situation has been going on in the united states. i'm afraid the cat is out of the back bag as far as the travel ban goes. in reality we have to start thinking of other ways in which we can control what is going on right here and we have to pay attention to what just happened with the cruise ship that went to mexico and how other countries will respond to us if we, as the leader -- lou: does it not seem entirely with rational but the governor of mexico would not permit the landing of that ship imap i certainly hope that our authorities would not permit a ship with possible ebola victims aboard. that's utter madness. >> i totally see your point of view. what i am tryin

david samadi, chairman and professor of urology and chief of robotic surgery. >> good to see you. >> we're going to start with something that's a ground breaking advancement in the fight against cancer. they have engineered stem cells that are able to target and destroy brain tumors. what is it and can we be able to achieve it and use it? >> first of all, i want to start by saying what is a stem cell. we're talking about adult stem cells. it's before the cell specializes into what it ends up being. before that, it's a general cell and has a lot of potential. we can manipulate it in the laboratory. we can manipulate it. in this case, they are manipulating it to release poison that kills cancer. they call it a targeted therapy. what they accomplished here for the first time is they got it to release these toxins to kill cancer without killing itself. it doesn't die from its own toxins. the reason that that's important is because when you give it systemically, you end up with all kinds of side effects. you start giving the poison, you lose your hair, it's problems with your stomach. if

samadi and the fact -- how did they get it wrong? they sent mr. duncan home with just a prescription, with antibiotics and that's just it. >> arthel, let's review what has happened with this patient. there's so much we can learn. in a way, it's not good that this happened but it's a wake-up call. mid-september, he was taking care of a pregnant woman who had ebola. a pregnant woman who probably compromised and then we found out she died of ebola. four days later, he gets on the plane. looking for fever and trying to find out if they passed a fever. the day after he's in brussels so he's already in europe. and then he gets here on the accept september 20th. that's five to seven days where the symptoms of ebola kicks in. somehow the doctors didn't put two and two together to figure this out. fever coming from west africa should, at this point, mean ebola until proven otherwise. and somehow we missed it. two days later, he comes back on the 28th of september with a real full-blown vomiting, diarrhea, and really sick. now, that's where he contaminated,

here is the samadi formula. first you eidfy. if you see anybody with those symptoms in west africa, you have to think ebola. isolate them quickly. if you isolate them over there, that is better, gerri before they go to the other countries. gerri: much better. >> improve and treat them aggressive and expect anybody else that has been involved. those are the four is you have to remember. i think take the war to west africa until we get prepared. gerri: focus on it there instead of here. dr. samadi, thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me. gerri: programing note for you now, coming up all next week it will on our user's guide to health insurance. it is open enrollment season. right around the corner what is new for 2015. how to maximize benefits and minimize costs. on monday we start with how obamacare will impact the coverage. >>> moving on, troubling new information on the massive hacking of american financial terms we're telling you about. fidelity, the mutual fund company, reportedly joining jpmorgan chase as among co

samadi and the fact that they -- how did they get it wrong, sent mr. duncan home with a prescription with antibiotics and that's it. >> so let's review and summarize everything that happened to this particular patient. i think if we can take it as a case study, there's so much we can learn. in a way, it is not good this happened, but it is a wake up call for all of the emergency rooms and doctors out there. september 15th, mid september, he was taking care of a pregnant woman who had ebola. a pregnant woman who probably -- later we found she died of ebola. four days later, mr. duncan gets on the plane, after three stages of screening, looking for fever, these are infrared equipment used to find out if he has fever. he passed through the test, gets on the plane. the day after in brussels, already in europe, then he gets to u.s. on the 20th of september. interesting enough, from september 19 to now, which is five days, he presents to the emergency room as we mentioned, that's around five to seven days where the symptoms of ebola usually kicks in. at that

samadi, please educate us. >> what you just said is absolutely important.also -- the reason why people there's panic and fear out there because they are not getting a very strong message of what's going on. at every level, whether it's the public or nurses or hospitals, for example, we're going to have a new guideline coming down the pipeline tomorrow. i like that. that's a great idea. we need to know exactly what we're telling our nurses, putting the hazmat suits, it takes hours and hours of preparation. and it really means if your neck is open and you get the virus, make it clear and all of these nurses who are hard working core of our hospitals, cover their necks but cannot blame the nurses later on with the confidence of the public. that's part of the problem over here. cdc is a great organization. they have done an amazing job over the years. i think they are ludsing the battle, the psyche part and that's why there's fear in public. what you said is very important. this is a difficult virus to get. but it's a deadly virus and because we don't have a va

david samadi, lennox hill hospital chairman of urology.lways a pleasure to talk to you, doctor. >> thank you, david. david: what makes people most nervous all the miscues that happened in texas in the first hospital mr. duncan was in. at first they sent him back home when he actually had, not completely full-blown symptoms but almost. have hospitals learned from the mistake in hospital in texas? >> yes. so one of the critics from cdc we have been talking about is, when they made the statement that every hospital in america is able to take care of ebola patients, we soon realized that is not the case. we learned a lot from the case in dallas and bellevue hospital in new york city is one of the designated spots to take care of patients with adebolajo. debola this is high-risk patient it was exposed to patients in guinea. from what i understand he has fever of 103. 10 days since he has entered. that is around the time, between eight to 10 days when you would see the symptoms. and course once you have symptoms of ebola that is when you're extr

david samadi. thank you so much for being here. start with ebola and then we'll get to the enterovirus that we want to talk about as well. ebola, this screening, the screening process the president is talking about, is that enough to prevent an outbreak here in the united states? >> certainly screening on the west african side is helpful. they were able to get about 78 patients that were really sick and keeping them away from flying out, so that helps to some extent. but the incubation period is about 21 days so you may have no symptoms, no fever or muscle aches and by the time you get to the u.s. within those two or three days within the passage you're going to see ebola is going to expand. by the time they get here we should be able to screen them. already there are infectious disease doctors in place. is that enough to get every one of those cases? absolutely not. we have to be really careful about how we take care of those patients in our emergency room. first thing is to really identify them. we have to look for these, the s i
