Mmmm, yoplait. All right. Were back at 7 42. Were launching a new series today second opinion. Seems like were being bombarded with results from medical studies and, yes, often, they contradict each other and dr. Natalie azar is here to let us know what we need to know about a couple of studies this good morning. Statins. A lot of people take statins for cholesterol, and now theres a new study that says perhaps it effective. Which is exactly the population that we dont want to if you think about howowany people over the age of 65 o o 75 take statins, its same shot. Why a a i saying vulnlnable . In elderly patients, number one, and number two theree an agerelated decline in your immunity as you get older soo now we have two studies that are hypothesisgenerating. Not definitively saying they do reduce the effect i wasness but it raised the possibility that it can reduce the response to the vaccine which could translate into more respiratory illness. This puts people in a pickle. You mentioned if youre older youre more susceptible to flu, more likely to die of the flu and if youre on statins the flu hot is not effective, what am i supposed to do . A really important bottom line. Given the fact this is the first study that has even looked at this the theres absolutely no formal recommendation that if you are take aggrastatin you should forgo the flu shot, and if you are planning on getting the flu shot that you should stop the statin, nobody is saying that. Theres a highdose flu shot. And this is incredibly important, approved last year theres a highdose flu vaccine which is roughly four times as strong as standard dose. Over the age of 65. It does boost the response to the vaccine andlso has a modest effect on efficacy. Next topic. Yes. There w w a study that read essentially as i read it lowfat diets dont really work. Not the headline, not a good headline. What are we supposed to take from this. This was interesting, actually what we call a meta analysis over 63 randomized controlled trials on all these different dietary interventions. Headline red lowfat diets dont work to lose weight. Thats not exactly true. The real find some things that low carb diets edged out lowfat diets in terms of weight loss, but real thing was lowfat diets actually do result in weight loss. Its just if you compare them to people who dont make any dietary intervention, thats where they really come out on top. Its kind of like if you think about a high put it this way. Anything you do to try to lose it really depends on the individual. If you want to do a lowfat diet, great, thats going to work for you. If you want to do a highfat low carb diet thats probably going to work for you also as long as youre including exercise, physical activity and all those other things and you stick with it. Justtith the bottom line, i i you say im going to gon a diet, should do low carb or lowwt. Seems like the low carb wowos better better. The lowcarb works better over the lowfat b any diet wi work as long as you stick with it. Thats really take yoem. Dr. Natally azar, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

I sure had a lot on my mind when i got out of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. What about my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happpping again. Not only does eliquis treat t t and pe blood c cts, but eliquis also had signififantly less major bleeding than the standarddtreatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Rned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. I am here for your heads [ bump ] ugh. Im the horseless headsman.

Got a good one, a little bit lighghr okay giving it to you this way. About nfl is that they love a capella. A story of Green Bay Packers who became Pitch Perfect. The movie Pitch Perfect premiereded in 2012, and immediately struck a chord with an unlikely demographic. Mire brother showed me the move, and as movie went on i like fell in love, awesome move, and just like laughing the whole time. Green bay packers offensive lineman David Bakhtari showed his love of the movie on social media caring the eye of the producer actress elizabeth banks. He was tweeting about it and i followed him on twitter and he immediately bm eid me they would love to be in the film. They were offered a cameo but the packers were nervous about stepping off the field and on to the silver screen. Well, professionals, you know, in football, but in this we were completely new. The and there was one other problem. I would like it to be known how much i detest the pack ersers. As a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, kay canon didnt want to write a part for players from the bears biggest rival. I had this visceral response of like, no, i cannot have this happen. Despite the obstacles the players took a chance. We were terrified going into the filming of this. The first day we showed up on settnd we had to rehehese, and theyeyere like, all right. Packers, your turn and we were like, what . We were definitely out of our element. T. J. , can you handle this. David, can you handle this . Clay, can you handle this.

When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us. How do they make starburst taste so juicy .

So perhaps its only fitting we sent dylan dreyer to an old ghost town to try to find some. And i think we might have. Thats at least what i felt there. We headed to a town frozen in time 30 miles south of the california state capital. Theres definitely something strange in the neighborhood. We didnt call ghost busters but we called the true from travel channels ghost adventures. Pulled me down these stairs here. Whats wrong .

The old casino was pitch black, but we were equipped with devices specially designed to first, using an audio device that turns energy into words. What do you want from us . Im going to put this on the table. I just put this on the table. A bet on the blackjack table was a good start but we continued our quest for more evidence using a structured light sensor camera and an audio device called a spirit box to talk to the casino killer. Come on, george, we know that you murdered chris. I i just saw a stick figure thing over on that. Are you serious. Did you just show yourself to dylan . I did. Three strong signals in less than an hour is rare, even for the ghost Adventurers Group who wanted to take a close look this is an nbc news special report. Heres matt lour and savannah guthrie. Good morning everyone. Nbc news has learned the white house is about to announce a shift to the u. S. Military strategy in iraq and syria. We understand this will mean more troops involved on the ground in that region. Lets bring in richard angle. Richard, good morning. Tell us about this change and it sounds like its an acknowledgment what weve been doing in syria and iraq is not working. Reporter the white house is calling this a shift and were expected to hear from the white house shortly making this announcement. Others, however, will call it a significant change. First of all, it involves sending a small number of americans special Operations Forces into syria. That means american boots on the ground in syria working with local partners. In the past the u. S. Has only been advising and assisting from afar mostly through air strikes. More fighter jets will be sent here to turkey conducting more air strikes against isis. A a10s are already here and a15s are on the way. Action will be placed in Northern Iraq to assist this campaign against isis. When you look at it altogether, there are three significant announcements, all of them involve deeper u. S. Military engagement on the war on isis. Thank you for that. Stand by there. Lets go to nbcs nick. What are they saying at the pentagon . Matt, after more than a year of yearly 8,000 air strikes against enemy forces in both iraq and syria, the best that senior military officials can say is that the fight there against isis is at a stalemate. The overall plan is just not working. Training and equipping iraqi forces, syria rebels has not proven to be a breaking point. They need a game changer. Theyre going to be far more aggressive in terms of the special forces operations on the ground. Military officials will tell you you cannot win a war with air strikes alone. You need some boots on the ground. The white house says these are not boots on the ground, this is not a change but in fact, it is a change for a more aggressive strategy and effort to defeat and destroy isis which afterall is president obamas goal. Before you go, i want to go over these numbers again. Richard angle is saying not to these are special Operations Forces, will they be fighting alongside serian rebel groups . That is still unclear. They will indeed be fighting along with kurds as they did in iraq just a little more than a week ago in which the army maeser sergeant was killed. Not clear they will be fighting side by side with the serian rebel groups. Theres still a lot of gray area and doubts about exactly who you may be fighting with when youre on the ground in syria unless, of course, its the serian kurds. All right, thank you. Lets go to the white house now. Kristin welker is live there. This president has not wanted to be more involved in these conflicts finds himself once again sending more troops into these dangerous areas. Reporter and that is the key point here. The white house trying to down play this announcement. We do not anticipate well hear his press secretary will address the media at 12 30 today. This is a shift in policy for a president who wanted to ramp down the wars in iraq and afghanistan and were called just a few weeks ago president obama said he was going to leave a larger troop presence in afghanistan and now for the first time troops in syria. Well hear more. Were announcing the white house plans say theres going to be an enhancement and shift in strategy that will involve more were going to be hearing jeb bush was a very strong governor, probably the strongest governor in the history of the state of florida. He was a young guy and i think there were some folks in the legislature that thought they might be able to run over him. That didnt happen. One tax cut wasnt enough he had to do more. It wasnt enough to have 15,000 kids with School Choice in florida, he wanted to have 100,000 kids. If he didnt like a project, it was going to be vetoed. It didnt matter if you were a republican. It didnt matter if you were his best friend. He said this is where were going, this is how were going to reform state government. every politician comes in talking about making change, and generally theres not much change. But governor bush made a lot of changes. He got the nickname veto corleone. If he saw something in the budget that he thought violated his conservative principles, you could guarantee it was gonna get whacked. He vetoed a bunch of my stuff and i was the senate president. The message to washington, d. C. , is get ready. because there will be change. Taking a look at headlines, theres a fire alarm recall to tell you about.
