A New and Honest Detroit Doctor Show on WADL

     

DETROIT, June 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ – If there’s one message viewers and guests alike will take away from the cutting-edge, conversational new health TV talk show, ask Dr. Nandi, it’s that “you have to be an advocate for your own care.”

That’s the premise behind ask Dr. Nandi, a new talk show airing on Wednesdays on WADL. The first episodes focusing on topics like yoga, Celiac disease and childhood obesity and featuring the Detroit-based physician, Dr. Partha Nandi, aired in California to wide acclaim. Now, the show comes to his hometown.

“I want patients to know the truth about their care,” says Nandi. “If you feel you’re not being heard, please get another opinion. be an advocate for your own care; this includes fighting for appropriate care from your insurance plan.”

Every episode of ask Dr. Nandi focuses on a single health problem. “We talk about a problem in detail for people so they understand it and know how to resolve it,” says Nandi. “This show offers real solutions. We like to say, ‘we’ll go there’ and we will! We are not afraid to tell the truth.”

Guests include Julie Silver of Acupuncture Healthcare Associates of Michigan; fitness guru Nikki Fayne; dermatologist Dr. Wendy Sadoff; cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn; and patient Cheryl Grossman, among other guests.

The show airs on WADL, Detroit’s Channel 38, on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. Episodes will air in succession throughout the summer.

“I was asked to come on the show to share my story of physical transformation,” says Nikki Fayne, who was obese as a child and is now a gorgeous, fit, healthy woman who teaches fitness classes and helps others get fit. “I loved being on the set and filming the show. Dr. Nandi has a gentle approach that is authentic. he is a brilliant man yet so very open in mind and heart. it is unusual for such a genius to also be totally bad ass!”

“It was a pleasure to work with Dr. Nandi, talking about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine,” says Julie Silver. “His combined expertise and interest on a variety of subjects as well as his compassion and interest in the human spirit make him the perfect talk show host! it is very exciting to have his show in the Detroit area and, as important, to feature the wonderful local skills and talent in our area.”

Dr. Partha Nandi practices in metro Detroit. Born in Calcutta, India, he immigrated to the United States as a child and completed high school by age 16. he attended Ohio State University on a full scholarship, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in chemistry and classical Greek civilization. Nandi was both the Rhodes scholar representative and Homecoming King.

“I became a physician because I want to be there when someone’s world stops – I want to help people when they are most vulnerable and help them recover fully,” says Dr. Nandi. “I always tell the truth about a medical condition and work hard to ensure my patients fully understand their problem. my goal with this TV show is to eliminate intimidation and fear from health care and put the power in the hands of the patients.”

Dr. Nandi obtained his medical degree from Wayne State University, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society and graduated in the top of his class. his internal medicine training took place at Wayne, where he was intern of the year; he completed his gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Michigan.

“I want to leave a bigger footprint on this Earth, and really help people,” says Nandi, who would one day like to open an urban medical clinic offering care to anyone who walks through the door.

Dr. Nandi speaks nationally about health and medicine, educating physicians and patients, and serving as a patient advocate, promoting empathy in care and comprehensive, integrated treatment. Dr. Nandi is married to Kali Nandi (an R.N.) and the father of two children; they live in Sterling Heights. his approach is widely known as “honest medicine,” offering straight talk with patients so they have all the information they need to make informed decisions about their health.

On the list or off it – it’s a different world

We love lists, whether they’re relevant (The 10 events that shaped the world we live in) or contrived (The 10 best songs with “moon” in the title).

Lists are harmless fun, potted knowledge or opinion masquerading as knowledge pandering to our urge to put things in their rightful place and provide a yardstick of our own erudition and taste.

but don’t be too hard on yourself. “Best of” lists often have a strong one-upmanship component, the list-makers wanting to show how well-read or travelled or worldly they are.

Plus there’s a natural gravitation towards the new or the obscure, otherwise this year’s list would be much the same as last year’s. hence the high turnover of beautiful people even though faces, especially those lovingly maintained, don’t change much from one year to the next.

Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world is a classic of the genre. There’s a generous sprinkling of people most of us have never heard of. There’s the rubbery premise: “most influential” and “world” seem hard and fast, leaving little room for manoeuvre, but it doesn’t quite work that way.

For a start there’s an underlying assumption that America more or less is the world, or at least the part of it which really matters. Nothing new here: the World Series is a baseball championship contested by 29 American teams and the Toronto Blue Jays. Mind you, navel-gazing isn’t an exclusively American pastime: according to the Australian edition of Who magazine, more than a third of the most beautiful people in the world are Aussies.

Apparently Portia Simpson Miller, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, a Caribbean island nation of 2.8 million noted for reggae music, murder and homophobia, is one of the most influential people in the world.

this seems absurd, so we refer to the accompanying mini-essay by US Congresswoman Yvette Clarke. (In a rather cosy arrangement, these blurbs are written by friends and admirers of the nominees or people very much like them. Thus, septuagenarian gadfly Ralph Nader, who has run six quixotic campaigns for the US presidency, contributes a piece explaining why septuagenarian gadfly Ron Paul, now winding down his forth quixotic campaign for the US presidency, is the only figure in US politics who tells it like it is.)

“There is a great sense,” writes Clarke, “that [Miller's] leadership will expand far beyond her island nation.” We’re not told what gave rise to this great sense nor who, apart from the author, is gripped by it. In fact, this airy assertion invites the conclusion that Time has jumped the gun; if and when Miller’s leadership does expand far beyond Jamaica, then her claim to global influence might have some substance.

The same applies to comedian Louis CK. “Spielberg without the beard and with humour” says his blurbist Joan Rivers, the antique comedienne and survivor of multiple plastic surgery misadventures, even though the full page photo shows Louis CK sporting what looks for all the world like a beard. “He’s the next Big One,” she gushes, leaving the reader to wonder how someone who’s not yet big in their relatively narrow field can be so influential.

Then there’s the woman who opened a bookshop in Nashville, Tennessee (population 600,000) after Amazon.com had seen off every bookshop in town. good luck to her, but I wouldn’t have thought owning a bookshop in Nashville would make you one of the million most influential people in the world.

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, love, claims that “the world watches carefully, wondering will this endeavour actually work?” Really? I strongly suspect that most people on the planet couldn’t give a rat’s arse whether a bookshop in Nashville sinks or swims.

Sometimes the blurbs are more about the author than the subject. The words “I” and “my” appear eight times in Elton John’s 12 sentences on singer Raphael Saadiq.

Then there are the glaring omissions. Influence works both ways, for good and bad, yet the dark side has only four representatives: two tyrants and two terrorists. Surely the heads of the major drug cartels whose malign influence is felt in practically every corner of the globe are more influential than celebrity chefs and the star of Homeland.

and sometimes you have to wonder if they’re talking about the real world or an alternative, bowdlerised version. Given the pervasiveness of pornography, it seems bizarre to include E.L. James, author of the so-called Mummy-porn trilogy Fifty Shades of Grey, while ignoring those who run the industry that dominates cyberspace and is increasingly infiltrating and influencing popular culture.

On the list or off it – it’s a different world

Los Angeles Laser Hair Removal Review

What is Laser Hair Removal?

The first laser hair removal was preformed 20 years ago but did not become commercially available till 1995 with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which technically wasn’t even considered a laser due to the fact that it emits a full spectrum of light. The basic premise behind laser hair removal is to remove unwanted or unsightly body hair using selective photothermolysis (SPTL), in which lasers are used to selectively damage to the follicle that causes hair growth while not heating the rest of the skin. The part of the skin that is damaged is, melanin, and the laser works best for dark coarse hair and is commonly used to remove hair from the lip, thighs, bikini area, hands and toes. it works best for dark colored hair on light colored skin but it there are new technologies that will remove hair from dark skin as well.

Since 1997 the FDA has approved laser’s for hair removal for laser hair reductions, and the procedure has grown in popularity, along with electrolysis this has grown to be one of the most poplar procedures to remove unwanted body hair.

Los Angeles and Cosmetic Surgery

Along with San Diego, Los Angeles has been a mecca for plastic surgery and the go-to place to get cosmetic surgery; with more plastic surgery centers per square mile than almost any metropolis around the globe, Los Angeles is considered the arena of the cosmetic surgery industry. with the affordability and availability of cosmetic surgery reaching new heights in the 21st century, the act of going under the knife hasn’t been a practice only reserved for the elite and wealthy. Firemen, teachers, and others see the benefit of cosmetic surgery and are now getting work done.

If you’re anywhere close to the Southland and you are looking for any type of procedure you are definitely going to be shifting your eyes towards Los Angeles to research practices, doctors and surgical centers.

As far as Los Angeles and laser treatment centers there are three primary leaders in this field and our review of the top three centers of laser hair removal in Los Angeles are reviewed here.

Westside Medical Spa

Westside Medical, with locations in Malibu, Westwood, and Beverly Hills uses two types of laser hair removal, the Soprano Diode Laser and Palomar StarLux Intense Pulsed Light system, depending on which Los Angeles laser hair removal center you’re located in.

The Soprano Diode is a 810 nm diode laser, which supposedly is the gold standard of lasers when it comes to laser hair removal, which has been toted as the most comfortable and painless laser on the market today. Head practitioner Dr. Ravkin, a graduate from Yale, and a UCLA faculty member brought the Soprano laser to the Westside Medical Spa recently and it has been very profitable for him.

The staff at Westide Medical Spa is friendly and courteous, and Dr. Rivkin, from what we can gather from his testimonials is complete professional and expert in his field.

Cosmetique Med Spa

Cosmetique Med Spa is also one of the top Los Angeles medical spas that offers a doctor-administered laser hair removal in the greater Los Angeles area. Cosmetique uses the widely popular Fraxel laser, which was actually showcased the show The View, highlighting the non-abrasive laser as the future of laser hair removal, praised for it’s virtually painless treatment of sun spots, unwanted hair, Melasma, and wrinkles around the eyes.

Although Cosmetique is not an exclusive user of the Fraxel laser they may have the most experience in Los Angeles with this particular laser hair removal product.

Medical Director, Ramin Sarshad, M.D. has been practicing medicine for 13 years, graduating from Loma Linda University and is considered an authority non-invasive aesthetic treatments, with many laser skin treatments under his belt he is held in high-regard in the cosmetic surgery arena.

South Coast Med Spa

With over 50,000 laser treatments performed, South Coast Med Spa is the laser treatment center to contend with. The original South Coast Med Spa was launched in Newport Beach, but they’re practice has grown by leaps and bounds and have opened up shop in LA and soon to be in San Diego.

Laser hair removal is the procedure that seems to be their core competency but they are familiar with all non-invasive cosmetic surgery treatments. with more and more spas, medical practices and even nail salons offering laser hair removal it’s hard to sift through the chaff but luckily for us places like South Coast Med Spa have set the bar high.

What it comes down to is who you feel comfortable with and who you trust. someone one wise once said, do business with who you like and trust. so if you check out these places and you don’t like them or don’t trust them than you should probably extend you’re search. But don’t take my word for it, do your own diligence and check out these practices yourself.

Los Angeles Laser Hair Removal Review

The Secret Circle can do all that, but it’ll never top that (top that)

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Thursday, March 29. all times are Eastern.

TOP PICK

The Secret Circle (The CW, 9 p.m.): In what sounds like the premise of a supernatural teen-comedy from the 1980s (or something you’d find on Cinemax at 2 a.m. during the 1990s), Adam enlists Faye and Melissa to lend a hand around the Boathouse—as long as they can all team to use their powers for romantic purposes. of course, as 1989’s Teen Witch taught an entire generation, there are a million ways to magically ensnare someone’s heart: Rap battles, popularity spells, “believing in yourself” (snore) …  If events proceed along the lines of the first option, Katherine Miller requests a performance of “top that.”

REGULAR COVERAGE

The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8 p.m.): This show was previously missing from the nightly wrap-up—which is absurd, seeing as Leonard Nimoy is the special guest star on this week’s episode. we hereby apologize to Nimoy and Oliver Sava, who are currently forcing us to recite “Highly Illogical” for their personal amusement.

The Vampire Diaries (The CW, 8 p.m.): Operation: Kill Klaus is in full effect. First order of business: Buy protective vests that prevent Klaus from ripping your heart out. He’s already done it to Carrie Raisler, and she’s not pleased with the results.

American Idol (Fox, 8 p.m.): It’s results time for “Sing something by your idols” week—we predict Jessica went with something big-and-ballady-y by Jennifer Hudson, Heejun chose Keyboard Cat, and Skylar covered a shotgun and a bottle of whiskey. Just try to prove us wrong, Claire Zulkey!

Community (NBC, 8 p.m.): The growing schism between Troy and Abed manifests in opposing blanket forts, the construction of which threatens to finally rend this troubled nation in two. what? This troubled nation still isn’t watching Community? Well, it’s going to give Todd VanDerWerff reason to worry, at least. 

30 Rock (NBC, 8:30 p.m.): Kristen Schaal’s Hazel has been a frustratingly scattershot addition to 30 Rock’s ensemble, and her Single White Female routine with Liz might be its most exasperating component. Can’t the character just be one type of crazy? Nathan Rabin would even settle for “considers squirrels her closest confidants”-crazy.

Up all Night (NBC, 9:30 p.m.): Just like the white-winged dove sings a song, sounds like Ava and Reagan are singing “We’d like Steve Nicks to appear on Ava—Ooo, baby, ooo. Ooo.” Margaret Eby rings like a bell through the night—and wouldn’t you love to read her review?

Awake (NBC, 10 p.m.): Portlandia has really cast a spell on other television shows, hasn’t it? First The Simpsons went to the Rose City, and now Britten’s therapists suggests a head-clearing trip to Oregon. He’ll be living the dream of the 1890s soon enough, growing a full beard and using Zack Handlen’s blue-ribbon pickling methods.

Delocated (Cartoon Network, midnight): Jon is the last person who needs help being impulsive, but this week he’s enrolled in an “impulse therapy” course that pushes him to reveal his face for the cameras of a Girls gone Wild-style series. Steve Heisler did the same thing once, but he did it for the beeeeeeeeeads! (SPRING BREAK!)

TV CLUB CLASSIC

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (11 a.m.): A last-minute audible (and an excellent episode) prompted Zack Handlen to push his showdown with DS9’s big science-versus-faith episode to this week. enjoy the end of the series’ first season, where aliens and people of the future engage in arguments that we present-day human beings can’t seem to stop having ourselves.

Seinfeld (1 p.m.): In the buildup to what will likely be a contentious, ugly electoral season in the United States, remember that none of the real candidates for public office will represent you the way Cosmo Kramer will represent the people of Morty and Helen’s condo complex. David Sims has the pocket Willard organizer to prove it!

Cheers (3 p.m.): Given Cheers propensity for leaving larger-than-life characters—Vera and Derek, for instance—unseen, it’s surprising the series put a face to Carla’s sleazeball ex-husband Nick halfway through its second season. of course, that face belongs to Dan Hedaya, so our Cheers review squad (and future Tortellis review squad?) couldn’t be happier to see it—or the ear hair growing alongside it.

WHAT ELSE IS ON?

Rules of Engagement (CBS, 8:30 p.m.): Returning from a Rob-induced hiatus, “that show with Puddy and David Spade” returns to squeak itself past the syndication barrier. “How did I end up watching four hours of Rules of Engagement?” your future self wonders on a lazy Saturday afternoon—four hours before you wonder the same thing about ’Til Death.

Punk’d (MTV, 10 p.m.): With Jersey Shore on hiatus, MTV bolsters its Thursday-night lineup (and the debut of Jersey Shore spin-off The Pauly D Project) by putting Justin Bieber in a Ashton Kutcher costume and letting him pull practical jokes on his celebrity friends. Are you being punk’d? Nope, Punk’d is a thing again, and we’ll probably have a review.

My Mom is Obsessed (Discovery Fitness & Health, 10 p.m.): In the TV modification of a 12-step program, the first step is admitting you have a problem; the second step is making sure there’s a cable documentary series that will exploit that problem for money. In the première of the latest addition to the ranks of “addicted”/“obsessed” shows, daughters confront mothers about fixations on plastic surgery and exercise.

Mary Mary (We, 10 p.m.): Gospel sister act Mary Mary is only a duo, which reduces the potential for Braxton Family Values histrionics. But get a load of all the sass in the press images for Mary Mary. Also, the sacred nature of their music doesn’t preclude Erica and Trecina Atkins-Campbell from the music business’ shady side, and Mary Mary comes complete with a skeezy lawyer who looks and behaves an awful lot like a Bob Odenkirk character.

Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World (HBO, 6:30 p.m.): This cracking adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s rock-’n’-roll-kung-fu-romance epic was a costly misfire for Universal and an unfortunate barrier toward mainstream acceptance for Shaun of the Dead/Spaced director Edgar Wright—but it quickly found the cult audience it deserves. A cult audience whose members, much like its underachieving hero, probably have time to take in a movie at 6:30 on a Thursday night. 

Fresh (Flix, 8 p.m.): Before he was Breaking Bad’s Gustavo Fring (please don’t remind us he’s Once upon A Time’s magic mirror now), Giancarlo Esposito played another even-keeled drug kingpin in Boaz Yakin’s directorial debut. Instead of pushing around a dying chemistry teacher and his junkie flunky, Fresh finds Esposito guiding a 12-year-old drug runner, which is marginally more seemly.

NIT Title Game: Minnesota versus Stanford (ESPN, 7 p.m.): Common logic dictates that the winner of the NCAA’s National Invitation Tournament is only the 69th-best men’s college basketball squad in the country. Well, at least the Golden Gophers and the Cardinal can content themselves with this fact: Win tonight, and they’ll be the 75th 69th-best men’s college basketball squad in the country. That’s like being the world’s tallest dwarf—but encrusted with diamonds! 

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT 

Survivor: Sadly, the episode title “the Beauty In A Merge” refers to shifting allegiances, not a challenge where the castaways are rewarded with selections from the Merge Records catalog. Carrie Raisler weighs in on an episode that could’ve benefited from a few No Pocky for Kitty cuts—but what wouldn’t?

The Secret Circle can do all that, but it’ll never top that (top that)

Breast Implants Surgery – Recovery Advice

Breast implants surgery is also known as augmentation mammoplasty. it is a surgical procedure where the doctor enhances an individual’s desire to have a fuller chest or want to regain her bosom size after childbirth of injury. The enlargement of the chest is actually a matter of aesthetics in which the woman has a desire to have breasts in a size that she sees as more fulfilling and satisfying than her current one.

The Procedure There are three common techniques in breast implants surgery. These three methods operate on the same premise of implanting a filled bag into incisions made by the surgeon. The difference in the methods is in the areas where the incisions are made. These bags are either filled with silicone or saline, whichever the patient may prefer.

There are certain advantages of either substance as well as disadvantages. The incisions are usually made in places where they make the least risk of scarring or even being noticeable. The areas may be close to natural creases of the body such as the armpits, the areola and the crease below the breast itself.

Recovery Recovery for breast implants surgery is relatively short and easy since the incisions are kept to a minimum. some swelling and soreness is to be expected for patients of this type of operation as well as a minimal degree of pain or discomfort in the area of the implant and the incisions.

Patients are advised to keep activities to light and minimal for just two days or 48 hours. They can return to work and some of their daily activities around three to four days or when they feel comfortable enough to do so.

Swelling and soreness will begin to grow less as the days go on and you can expect these to disappear within a few weeks. The marks from the incisions will eventually fade away but some may end having more pronounced scars than others.

It is best to consult the doctor with regards to more visible scars. Medication will be prescribed by the doctor to reduce the risk of infection and to minimize swelling and pain. it is not advisable to bear the pain until such time that the incisions will be complicated. if the pain is more than one can handle, it is best to take some painkillers and to consult the doctor when the pain is uncomfortable and extreme.
