*Long Island Press<br />
Back to School… These words may evoke fear, excitement,<br />
trepidation, stress, or relief, depending on your perspective. Regardless<br />
of your feelings about this time of the year, Fall can be a very exciting<br />
time, with the season changing, the weather cooling and the holidays<br />
looming ahead. It is also the right time to think about how you can<br />
finally deliver on your commitment to doing something for yourself.<br />
Back to the gym, back to the diet, the new season brings with it the<br />
impetus to look better and feel better. Now that the kids are going<br />
back to school, this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic<br />
procedure you’ve always wanted. Utilizing only the latest and most<br />
advanced products, your recovery is fast, and the sooner you act –<br />
the sooner you’ll look fantastic. Get ready for your winter vacation<br />
or spruce up for the holidays with SmartLipo MPX ® , the most<br />
advanced technique in liposuction available. If you have been<br />
considering a Tummy Tuck (post-pregnancy or for weight loss), this<br />
procedure can have you in great shape in a very short period of time, and you can show<br />
off that terrific figure at holiday parties. Another option to consider is Zeltiq , the newest<br />
CoolSculpting ® , fat-freezing, non-surgical procedure that reduces inches quickly!<br />
Use this time to tune up and make a difference in your appearance. Using a customized<br />
plan for cosmetic surgery, coupled with a comprehensive needs assessment ensures<br />
positive results. The determination of what areas of the body could benefit the most<br />
allows people to achieve a positive and realistic result as well as a natural and younger<br />
look. It is often a combination of services that produces the best result, often including<br />
breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction, with the appropriate procedure<br />
determined by each individual’s body. Several packages are designed to address your<br />
specific needs. Ultimate Breasts includes breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast<br />
reduction – separately or in combination – for the most beautiful, natural looking results.<br />
Good Advice<br />
Fall Into Shape<br />
by Stephen T. Greenberg, M.D.<br />
Fall is the perfect time to have the<br />
cosmetic surgery procedure you’ve<br />
always wanted. Surgical or nonsurgical<br />
procedures will create a<br />
younger and fresher look!<br />
SmartLipo MPX TM is light years ahead of competing liposuction systems with less<br />
bruising and shorter recovery time. About Face turns back the hands of time with the<br />
appropriate combination of facelift, eyelid lift, rhinoplasty, chin reshaping and more. If<br />
childbirth has made some changes to your body that you would like to correct, the<br />
Mommy Make Over package provides the right combination of Tummy Tuck,<br />
liposuction, breast lift or implants to transform you from “new mom” to “hot mom.”<br />
If you decide that this isn’t the time for cosmetic surgery, but would like to look younger,<br />
consider “injectables”, which are very effective in reducing lines and<br />
wrinkles on the face without surgery. As recently reported by the<br />
Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research Foundation (ASERF), the<br />
use of Botox ® Cosmetic and other dermal fillers are continuing to<br />
grow in popularity. Exciting new products including Dysport ® , a<br />
wrinkle relaxer, and injectables such as Restylane ® (containing<br />
Lidocaine), have expanded the market and increased the options<br />
available to people seeking immediate results with significant<br />
reductions in facial lines and wrinkles. As you look toward improving your appearance<br />
this Fall, consider achieving a younger and fresher look by combining injectables with<br />
microdermabrasion, Photo Rejuvenation, peels and laser hair removal that will<br />
dramatically improve your appearance.<br />
The season is changing and this is the perfect time to have the cosmetic procedure<br />
you’ve always wanted. Start on the path to a younger looking you!<br />

Breast Surgery Combined with Tummy Tuck and/or Liposuction<br />
by Charlotte Rhee, MD, F.A.C.S., P.C.<br />
Many of my patients come to me seeking help with the changes that<br />
can occur after childbirth. Following childbirth, a woman’s breast can<br />
grow to uncomfortable proportions or just the opposite can happen. A<br />
woman’s breast can actually lose volume and shrink, resulting in the<br />
breast appearing “deflated”.<br />
Additionally, a large number of women come to me seeking help with<br />
the post partum changes of their abdomen. During pregnancy the skin<br />
and abdominal wall muscles are stretched. Following childbirth, the abdomen can protrude<br />
Good Advice<br />
Many of my patients<br />
who have breast<br />
surgery also have other<br />
procedures performed at<br />
the same time. This<br />
allows for one surgery<br />
and one recovery<br />
advertisement<br />
and the skin can be loose or sag. In some cases, the abdominal muscles can<br />
be so weakened that the individual may look like she is still pregnant. Despite<br />
daily workouts including sit ups and crunches, a tummy tuck may be needed<br />
to restore these muscles.<br />
Breast Reduction<br />
Women with very large pendulous breasts may experience varied medical<br />
problems including back and neck pain. Also, the weight of large breasts can<br />
cause the bra straps to dig into the shoulders leaving groove markings. Large<br />
breasts get in the way of physical activities such as running, making exercise<br />
and weight loss very difficult if not impossible. Breast reduction (reduction<br />
mammaplasty), is a surgical procedure which makes breasts smaller.<br />
There are many different breast reduction techniques. The more traditional method (inverted T-<br />
scar) leaves the breasts with a vertical, long horizontal scar (along the breast crease). “I utilize the<br />
Lejour technique, which leaves the breast with a single vertical incision (lollipop scar) and, in my<br />
opinion, with a rounder more natural appearing breast and a better cosmetic result.” Breast reductions<br />
are performed as an outpatient procedure and are covered by insurance.<br />
Breast Augmentation<br />
Women who come to me seeking breast enlargement have very similar goals to those seeking<br />
breast reduction. Both groups of women want to have breasts that are proportional to their<br />
body size with the most natural result possible. In certain situations, a breast lift is also needed<br />
to tighten lax skin. The laxity can be the result of pregnancy or weight loss. When a breast<br />
lift is needed, I utilize the lollipop scar technique. A breast lift procedure is very similar to a<br />
breast reduction. The only difference is that with a breast reduction, breast tissue is removed.<br />
Combined Breast/Tummy Tuck and Liposuction Procedures.<br />
Many of my patients who have breast surgery also have other procedures performed at the<br />
same time. This allows for one surgery and one recovery. The most common combined procedures<br />
performed by Dr. Rhee are breast surgery, whether it is a breast<br />
reduction or augmentation, combined with tummy tuck, also known as<br />
abdominoplasty. For those patients who desire breast augmentation together<br />
with a tummy tuck, I am able to place the breast implants through the<br />
tummy tuck incision, leaving the breasts without any scars.<br />
Liposuction is also commonly performed at the same time. Despite diet and<br />
exercise, certain areas of the body are prone to carry excess fat. For these<br />
areas, liposuction can help. The most common areas for liposuction are the<br />
love handles (upper hip area) and thighs.<br />
Patients who have combined procedures do surprisingly well. In addition to<br />
having the benefit of just one recovery process, there can also be a significant<br />
savings in price.<br />

HIGH TEA<br />
As a tea aficionado, I am thrilled every time I hear<br />
about an authentic tearoom on Long Island. Teapot<br />
in Bellmore is just such a place: a Victorian-inspired<br />
tearoom that serves a proper Afternoon Tea, with an<br />
assortment of delectable<br />
sandwiches and<br />

more than 30 types of<br />
teas—black, Oolong,<br />
Rooibos, white, green<br />
and herbal—all served<br />
on fine china, including<br />
beautiful teapots and floral tiered stands. Teapot<br />
is the perfect spot for showers and other events.<br />

I grew up in Maspeth, New York, went to St. John’s University<br />
and worked for Citibank, Merrill Lynch and on the trading<br />
desk of L.F. Rothschild. I moved to Garden City to raise<br />
my children, and as my children grew up, I found time to<br />
play tennis in the bubble in Garden City. After years of playing<br />
and the knees going out, I found golf through EWGA.<br />
I get to play on beautiful public and private golf courses<br />
throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.<br />
From the day I joined EWGA, I knew I was in the right place<br />
with the right people. Over time, I learned about EWGA’s<br />
Core Values: Honesty, Integrity, Respect, Honor, Sportsmanship,<br />
Fun and Friendship. I took many beginner clinics, went<br />
to all the Rules, Ettiquette and Handicap seminars, and<br />
signed up for the Beginning Mentor Outing. In my second<br />
year, I felt comfortable enough to volunteer, so I signed up<br />
to marshal at the Senior PGA event at Eisenhower. I was<br />
totally blown away when I saw four of our members playing<br />
in the Pro Am with a Golf Professional. I knew right there<br />
I wanted to feel as comfortable as they were, able to play<br />
golf with anyone. The next year, I became Tee Time Captain<br />
for Eisenhower Park and met so many different members,<br />
some of whom have become my best friends for life. I was<br />

Most women in the U.S. have heard of osteoporosis, but what<br />
are some of the issues related to prevention and then treatment.<br />
How can women avoid seeing the neurosurgeon for this preventable<br />
disease<br />
Following menopause 1 in 2 women will sustain a spinal fracture,<br />
called a compression fracture, if osteoporosis exists. Indeed,<br />
spine fractures are twice as common as hip fractures in this population.<br />
A major problem with spinal compression fractures is that<br />
unless they are devastating fractures that cause significant instability or a neurological<br />
deficit, they can be remarkably asymptomatic. As a patient develops more of<br />
these fractures, he or she will start to develop a “kyphosis” which is<br />
Good Advice<br />
<br />
by Matthew B. Kern, M.D.<br />
Spine fractures are<br />
twice as common<br />
as hip fractures.<br />
advertisement<br />
a forward curvature of the spine resulting in reduced height and that<br />
“bent over” look. Difficulty with activities of daily living may ensue,<br />
including difficulty walking and breathing. It may not be until multiple<br />
fractures exist that the patient realizes that there is a problem. The<br />
patient may also develop chronic pain that will no longer be amenable<br />
to treatment. These fractures can be caused by a little as a sneeze or<br />
cough or even just reaching for an object in a cupboard.<br />
The diagnosis of osteoporosis and osteopenia (low bone density) is usually made<br />
by a bone density scan of the wrist, femur or lumbar vertebrae. The test is also commonly<br />
called a dexa scan.<br />
The best treatment for osteoporosis and thus hopeful avoidance of all the sequale<br />
of this insidious disease is prevention. The major risk factors for the development of<br />
osteoporosis include smoking, inactivity, low calcium or vitamin D, diet, excess alcohol,<br />
certain medications, and a history of cancer.<br />
In the absence of the above mentioned risk factors, all adult women should be cognizant<br />
of the prevention of the disease. Once a woman reaches menopause methods of<br />
preventing osteoporosis include maintaining a good body weight, remaining active, not<br />
smoking and taking calcium supplements. Women should also consult with their physician<br />
regarding the addition of estrogen or hormone replacement therapy. Both of these<br />
are FDA approved and can slow loss of bone or even help regain lost bone. The difference<br />
between the two is related to whether or not a woman has her uterus.<br />
Once a woman does develop osteoporosis there are a number of medications now<br />
available to help reduce the progression of the disease (Fosamax, Evista, Boniva,<br />
Actonel, Reclast and more recently, Prolia). These drugs are of different classes and<br />
act in different ways so the primary care physician should decide which is best for<br />
his/her patient. Potential side effects should be discussed with the<br />
prescribing physician.<br />
In the event that one develops a painful compression fracture, the<br />
mainstay of treatment is still medication. If, however, the pain is intractable<br />
or intolerable the procedure of choice may be Kyphoplasty.<br />
This is a procedure by which a neurosurgeon or radiologist places<br />
two balloons into the fractured vertebral body and then fills them<br />
with cement thus hopefully regaining some of the lost height of the<br />
fracture. This seems to help ease the pain. If the fracture is more severe and stability<br />
is compromised, or worse, neurologic deficit occurs (leg weakness or bladder and<br />
bowel dysfunction) surgery may be required. The surgery for these problems can<br />
involve removing the entire vertebral body by approaching through the flank. Of<br />
course, since the original problem is weak bone the vertebral body above and below<br />
may also be weak and may further complicate the surgery.<br />

DOWNING TOO MANY SUGARY DRINKS CAN RAISE<br />
WOMEN’S RISK FOR GOUT<br />
Women who consume fructose-rich beverages, such as sugar-sweetened<br />
soft drinks and orange juice, are at an increased risk for gout,<br />
according to research presented recently at the American College of<br />
Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Scientific Meeting in Atlanta.<br />
Gout is a painful and potentially disabling form of arthritis. Initial<br />
symptoms usually consist of intense episodes of painful swelling<br />
in single joints, most often in the feet (especially the big toe).<br />
Gout occurs when excess uric acid, a normal waste product, accumulates<br />
in the body, and needle like crystals deposit in the joints.<br />
This may happen because either uric-acid production increases or,<br />
more often, the kidneys are unable to remove uric acid from the<br />
body adequately.<br />
Which leads us back to that soda on your<br />
desk… Fructose-rich, sugar-sweetened<br />
beverages may increase serum uric acid<br />
and the risk for gout. Researchers have<br />
recently noted that the prevalence and incidence<br />
of gout has been in the rise in the<br />
U.S. over the past few decades and this<br />
has coincided with a substantial increase<br />
in soft drink and fructose consumption.<br />
So they examined, over a 22-year period,<br />
the relationship between the intake<br />
of these beverages and the risk of gout<br />
in 78,906 women who were participants<br />
in the Nurses’ Health Study. They used a<br />
questionnaire to determine if participants<br />
met any of the ACR’s criteria for gout and<br />
estimated each participant’s future risk<br />
for gout after considering things such<br />
as age, total caloric intake, alcohol consumption,<br />
body mass index, menopause<br />
status, the use of hormonal replacement,<br />
the use of diuretics, history of high blood<br />
pressure, total vitamin C intake, and the daily intake of meats, seafood,<br />
dairy products and coffee.<br />
In the 22 years’ worth of data they examined, researchers noted 778<br />
confirmed cases of gout. They also noted that increasing the intake<br />
of fructose-rich drinks was independently associated with increasing<br />
a woman’s risk of gout.<br />
When the participants in the study who consumed one serving of<br />
sugar-sweetened soft drinks a day were compared with those who<br />
had less than one serving per month, they were found to have a<br />
1.7-fold increased risk of gout. Those who consumed two or more<br />
Researchers have<br />
recently noted that<br />
the prevalence and<br />
incidence of gout<br />
has been in the rise<br />
in the U.S. over the<br />
past few decades and<br />
this has coincided<br />
with a substantial<br />
increase in soft drink<br />
and fructose<br />
consumption.<br />
servings per day were at a 2.4-fold increased risk. (When looking at<br />
diet soft drinks, researchers found no association with an increased<br />
risk of gout.)<br />
Researchers also made these comparisons for those who drink orange<br />
juice, a common source for naturally-occurring fructose. Participants<br />
who consumed one serving of orange juice a day were at a<br />
1.4-fold increased risk of gout and those who consumed two or more<br />
servings per day were at a 2.4-fold increased risk.<br />
“From a public-health viewpoint, we are particularly concerned<br />
about sugar-sweetened sodas, whose consumption has grown so<br />
much over the past few decades. It is possible that this increased<br />
consumption has contributed in part to the doubling frequency of<br />
gout in our society during the same period,” says Hyon Choi, M.D., a<br />
rheumatologist at the University of British Columbia and lead investigator<br />
for the study.<br />
WANT LOWER BODY FAT EAT MORE WHOLE GRAINS,<br />
CUT BACK ON REFINED GRAINS<br />
People who consume several servings of whole grains per day, while<br />
limiting daily intake of refined grains, appear to have less of a type<br />
of fat tissue thought to play a key role in triggering cardiovascular<br />
disease and type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. Researchers at<br />
the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Researcher Center on Aging<br />
(USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University observed lower volumes of visceral<br />
adipose tissue (VAT) in people who chose to eat mostly whole grains<br />
instead of refined grains.<br />
The researchers examined diet questionnaires submitted by 2,834<br />
men and women enrolled in The Framingham Heart Offspring and<br />
Third Generation studies. The participants then underwent scans to<br />
determine fat in their tissues.<br />
“VAT volume was approximately 10 percent lower in adults who<br />
reported eating three or more daily servings of whole grains and<br />
who limited their intake of refined grains to less than one serving<br />
per day,” says study author Nicola McKeown, Ph.D., a scientist<br />
with the Nutritional Epidemiology Program at the USDA HNRCA.<br />
“For example, a slice of 100-percent whole wheat bread or a half<br />
cup of oatmeal constituted one serving of whole grains and a slice<br />
of white bread or a half cup of white rice represented a serving<br />
of refined grains.”<br />
MEDICAL-TEST RESULTS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO<br />
PROTECT YOUR HEALTH<br />
Whether you’re healthy or ill, there are a variety of medical tests your<br />
doctor might recommend for you. A yearly checkup often includes routine<br />
tests such as blood sugar and cholesterol levels, vision and hearing<br />
assessments, tests for heart function and others used to monitor a<br />

End Urinary Incontinence<br />

One of the few physicians on Long Island trained to do<br />
Interstim Sacral Nerve Neuromodulation therapy.<br />
So many of my patients are young mothers with young children.<br />
They have experienced the thrill and the agony of labor,<br />
enjoyed nursing, and endured diaper changes. Now as they<br />
enter the “soccer mom” years, life enters a new phase. Moms<br />
want to get to play and enjoy sports with their kids (ie. soccer,<br />
baseball, basketball, skiing etc.), they want to get to go to the<br />
gym, run, and exercise to get back to pre-baby shape.<br />
Unfortunately for many women in this situation, urinary control<br />
problems can rear their ugly head and deprive many women of this<br />
important time. Now there is something that can be done that with<br />
a small investment of time can restore urinary control forever.<br />
Stress incontinence is urine that leaks out during laughing,<br />
coughing, sneezing or vigorous activity. It can be caused by many<br />
factors but one of the most common is childbirth. After child birth<br />
many women complain that they leak urine when they laugh or cough. This<br />
unfortunately can progress to losing urine during physical activity such as playing<br />
with the kids, working out at the gym or while being intimate. The natural<br />
response to this leaking problem is to compensate by avoiding these activities.<br />
So many women in my practice complain that they just want to be able to go to<br />
the gym and go on the elliptical machine or kick box without worrying about<br />
leaving a wet spot on their workout clothes. This can be very embarrassing.<br />
Many women tell me that when they are chasing their kids around the house or<br />
Everyone wants to be<br />
able to laugh without<br />
worrying about needing<br />
to wear a pad.<br />
advertisement<br />
at soccer, they have to consciously think about holding in the urine otherwise an<br />
embarrassing stain can result. This has the effect of making women feel old<br />
before their time. Many women stop doing the things that active young women<br />
do and become sedentary. Everyone wants to be able to laugh without worrying<br />
about needing to wear a pad. Most women who come to my office are surprised<br />
that there are minimally invasive treatments available that can restore<br />
their urine control and allow them to get back to doing the things that they<br />
loved but had to put on hold.<br />
The state of the art in treatment of stress incontinence is the<br />
vaginal tape procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive with<br />
minimal recovery time. It is done as an outpatient and is performed<br />
so easily and quickly that I call it the 7 minute sling.<br />
Patient come in the morning for the procedure and are out before<br />
noon. When they leave, they are dry immediately. Soreness and<br />
downtime is so minimal that many women do not even require pain medication.<br />
What a surprise and thrill the first time a woman coughs and nothing leaks out.<br />
Women are back to their activities in no time. Of all the procedures that I do,<br />
this is the procedure that time and again I hear changed a patient’s life. Moms<br />
are returning to the gym and chasing their children free of any worry about urinary<br />
control. They can keep up with their kids without leaving anything behind!<br />

chronic condition, such as a lung-function test for those with asthma.<br />
You also may be tested to diagnose or confirm the presence of a disease,<br />
or to see how well a particular treatment or medication is working.<br />
But if the wrong test is given, or if you fail to receive or understand<br />
your results, your health may suffer. In a recent study of medical- testing<br />
errors, researchers found that nearly three out of four patients<br />
involved in a testing error had their treatment delayed, suffered additional<br />
pain or had a worse health outcome as a result of the error.<br />
Every time your doctor orders a test for you, the results become<br />
part of your medical history and a potential guide or reference<br />
for your future care. But many patients walk away from<br />
their doctor’s office with important, unanswered questions:<br />
• What tests will I take<br />
• Why have these tests been ordered<br />
• What will the tests show<br />
• When should I expect to see the<br />
results<br />
• What should I do after the test<br />
results are in<br />
If you don’t understand the answers,<br />
don’t be afraid to ask again, says Dennis<br />
Novak, M.D., a general internist<br />
and associate dean of medical education<br />
at Drexel University College of<br />
Medicine in Philadelphia. In the exam<br />
room, you often get a lot of information<br />
that might be hard to remember<br />
later. Feel free to ask your doctor for<br />
written information about the test, or<br />
to recommend a website for more information,<br />

With or without insurance, what are your out-of-pocket costs<br />
Once you’ve taken the test, follow-up is essential. And it’s one place<br />
where mistakes happen often. For instance, in a recent study of California<br />
primary-care doctors, about 20 percent of patients didn’t get<br />
timely or appropriate notification of their abnormal test results.<br />
The lesson Never accept that “no news is good news,” says Davis<br />
Liu, M.D., a family physician in Sacramento, California. “Always request<br />
to see your test results, good or bad.” You also should be sure<br />
you know how you will be notified about the results, how long you<br />
should wait for the results and who you should call to follow up after<br />
receiving the results. ●<br />

A patient came into my office the other day for a facelift consultation<br />
and said, “Two of my friends just had facelifts, but their results are very<br />
different. One of them told me she had a ‘full-facelift’ and that was<br />
why she looked ‘better’ than our other friend. What did she mean by<br />
‘full-facelift” and is there really a difference” This is not an uncommon<br />
question, as there are several different types of procedures that<br />
can be performed all under the title of “facelift.” But the truth is, there<br />
is no one specific medical procedure called a “full-facelift.”<br />
Ultimately, all facelift procedures seek to achieve a natural and more youthful face and<br />
neckline by tightening sagging skin and muscle tissue of the face,<br />
jawline and neck. The common term “facelift” refers to a procedure<br />
that addresses the lower half of the face (from the corners of<br />
the mouth down through the neck). Most cosmetic surgeons perform<br />
this procedure.<br />
There are also more advanced facelift techniques that address a<br />
larger area of the face, namely the mid-face, which is the area of the<br />
cheek from the corners of the mouth up to the lower eyelids. Elevating<br />
the cheek, in addition to the sagging skin and muscle tissue of the lower face, jawline<br />
and neck, produces a more natural result since the aging of the face is addressed in whole,<br />
rather than just in part. To date, the only procedures that help reposition the cheek are<br />
named the deep-plane facelift, the mid-face lift (which can be performed endoscopically),<br />
and the composite facelift. Because of their technical difficulty, these more advanced facelifting<br />
techniques, unlike the traditional facelift, are not universally available and are only<br />
performed by surgeons with greater expertise in treating the problem of facial aging.<br />

advertisement<br />
Another type of facelift is the mini-facelift, or minilift, which is a scaled-down version of<br />
the traditional facelift. In general, in a minilift the amount of skin raised is less, the amount<br />
of manipulation of the underlying musculature is smaller, and the incisions are generally<br />
shorter. Because not as much is done surgically, bruising and swelling are reduced and recovery<br />
may be somewhat quicker. Minilifts are often performed under local anesthesia, rather<br />
than general or deep sedation, and tend to cost less than traditional facelifts. Minilifts have<br />
become very popular for these reasons and are offered by different doctors and facilities<br />
under varying names. In my own practice, we call the minilift procedure the EZ-Lift.<br />
Determining what facelift procedure is right for you depends on several different factors,<br />
some of which include where on your face you have aging, the<br />
amount of aging you may have, cost, and recovery time. Selecting<br />
the right surgeon to perform your procedure is just as important as<br />
assessing what procedure is right for you. Make sure the surgeon<br />
you choose is board certified, operates in an accredited facility, and<br />
is experienced in multiple facelift procedures. A highly qualified surgeon<br />
who utilizes many different techniques is more likely to identify<br />
what type of procedure will best help you address the type and<br />
amount of aging particular to your face. If you have any questions about facelifts, submit<br />
your inquiries to my website at www.marottamd.com. Find a response to your questions<br />

important for a parent to understand<br />
that seeking “wellness<br />
care” is not tantamount<br />
to relinquishing independence.<br />
In fact, having<br />
a non-medical companion<br />
makes life safer<br />
and easier. This is the<br />
very thing that increases<br />
independence. Seniors<br />
deserve wellness care<br />

lives. As Managing Director of familyoperated<br />

Supplemental Security Income (SSI), an<br />

will likely disrupt such government benefits<br />

is based on having minimal income and<br />

Much in the way you can’t go three blocks without passing a Starbucks, try flipping cable<br />
channels without seeing a sitcom featuring <strong>Wendie</strong> <strong>Malick</strong>, the tall, striking actress who, along<br />
with Christine Baranski, has become television’s go-to girl for regal and sarcastic working<br />
women with just a hint of craziness. Her ubiquity on the dial actually belies the fact that she<br />
hasn’t been in a hit sitcom since Just Shoot Me stopped shooting in 2003.<br />
The relative dry spell (she’s done dozens of television episodes and guest shots in the intervening<br />
time) ended last year, however, with the arrival of the TV Land series, Hot in Cleveland.<br />
The sitcom, featuring Frasier alum Jane Leeves, One Day at a Time’s Valerie Bertinelli and living<br />
goddess Betty White is now entering its third season with no cooldown in sight. For <strong>Malick</strong>,<br />
Cleveland might as well be paradise.<br />
“I’m very, very lucky,” she says in our early spring phone chat as she drives to rehearsal. “Just<br />
to be able to work at the thing you love is a gift in itself, and to actually get to work with great<br />
writers who do wonderful things for you. Remember that my career took off late; I’m sort of<br />
a late bloomer. I had done theater in New York and then took five years off to model. Then my<br />
career very slowly started to build, but it was incremental. I was almost 40 years old when I did<br />
Dream On, the HBO series. I was not a great ingénue; I didn’t quite know what to do with that.<br />
So I didn’t really hit my mark until I became a character actress, and that was my strength.<br />
Once I had a chance to have a strong point of view, it changed everything.”<br />
Still, the revelation was as much about doing comedy as it was about moving into<br />
more mature roles. “I think [comedy] was in my bones,” notes <strong>Malick</strong>, “but I never really worked<br />
as a comedienne until I did Dream On. Before that, I had been kind of typecast because I was<br />
tall and brunette and, I guess, somewhat imposing, so I was often the lawyer/doctor/ex-wife/<br />
murderess – things like that. I did a lot of drama, and on Dream On, I started as the straight<br />
woman for Brian Benben, but during the first season, they found out I was funny, so they allowed<br />
my character to become a lot more neurotic.<br />
“I love doing comedy,” continues <strong>Malick</strong>, “and it’s something you can never take for granted<br />
because comedy is not easy! I think right now, more than ever, everyone needs to laugh every<br />
day because the world is getting increasingly bizarre.”<br />
Speaking of bizarre, our phone chat is briefly interrupted as <strong>Malick</strong> runs her vehicle through<br />
a car wash. “I have an event to go to tonight,” the actress apologizes. “And after so much rain<br />
the past few weeks, the car is covered in mud. You probably never interviewed anybody going<br />
through a car wash before, have you”<br />
After replying that I hadn’t and overhearing her thank the attendants, I asked <strong>Malick</strong> whether<br />
being famous is a burden when you’re simply trying to get your daily chores done. <strong>Malick</strong> laughed,<br />
“I still consider myself a mid-level celebrity. And I can move through my world pretty easily without<br />
being recognized – unless I open my mouth, and then people recognize my voice. But I would<br />
have to say that 95 percent of the people who come up to me are lovely and just want to thank<br />
me for making them laugh before they go to sleep at night. Or they’ve been touched by something.<br />
Or for the work I do for the Humane Society.”<br />
Thanks to <strong>Malick</strong>’s husband, Richard Erickson, that animal<br />
advocacy organization is only one of the many charities<br />
to which the actress lends her time and money. Perhaps<br />
the most personal involves assisting villages in Africa. “My<br />
<strong>Wendie</strong><br />

Causes & Career<br />

husband’s parents were missionaries in Congo,” <strong>Malick</strong> explains,<br />
“so he spent about seven years there as a child. And<br />
he loved the people and has stayed in touch with a lot of<br />
them. We have one good friend whom we still see every year;<br />
(Richard’s) father helped him get an education, and he’s now<br />
an eye surgeon.<br />
“So my husband is a great influence on me in that area,”<br />
continues <strong>Malick</strong>. “He has built a medical center in Congo and<br />
has gone back every two years to see what else they needed.<br />
My first summer with him, we took motorcycles over to the<br />
infirmies (for the nurses in this small Eastern Congo village). So<br />
I’ve been involved with him there as well as starting some micro-lending<br />
to the women in that village. Very small loans. The<br />
idea is that they can start a small business that might be going<br />
into a bigger town and bringing back things they can trade or<br />
sell. And then they pay back what you loaned them, and it goes<br />
on to the next woman. It’s the idea of `paying it forward.’”<br />
<strong>Malick</strong> had been married previously to screenwriter Mitch<br />
Glazer, a union that lasted seven years. “We were young and<br />
just grew in different ways, but he was a great guy, very talented,” says the actress, who<br />
divorced Glazer in 1989 and married Erickson in 1995. “I met Richard when we were building<br />
houses in Tijuana,” <strong>Malick</strong> recalls. “I met a number of my dearest friends to this day on that<br />
trip. I think oftentimes you meet the most interesting people when you’re out there giving of<br />
yourself.”<br />
Asked for reasons her second marriage has run 15 years and counting, <strong>Malick</strong> laughs, “Oh<br />
man, I don’t know the answer to that, but I think kindness is at the core. Kindness and humor.<br />
You can’t take stuff back, so be mindful of that when you’re pissed off. Take a deep breath before<br />
you say anything because you could really wound those closest to you. Also, don’t sweat<br />
the small stuff, and, as my grandmother said, `Never go to bed angry.’”<br />
Regarding the delicate question of children, <strong>Malick</strong> replies, “It just didn’t work out for me.<br />
I wasn’t able to, and maybe that’s why the animals in my life are so important. As a child,<br />
my older `sister’ was a collie. Plus, I used to rescue seagulls from the beach in front of our<br />
summer house and take them to the neighboring doctor. Now, Richard and I have three<br />
horses, donkeys, and two dogs that we rescued. But we also helped to raise my niece.<br />
“N<br />

bec<br />
get
“Now, more than<br />
ever, everyone needs<br />
to laugh every day<br />
because the world is<br />
getting increasingly<br />
bizarre.”<br />
She’s my brother’s daughter who lives with us part time and goes to school in our little town.<br />
So there are always children in our lives, and we have wonderful godchildren. I think that<br />
whether you’re an actual parent or not, the option for helping to raise children is always there.<br />
Of course, my hat is off to every mother out there who ever raised a child. I am absolutely<br />
stunned by the amount of patience, and love and generosity it requires. It’s really extraordinary,<br />
and it’s been a great, great lesson to me in trying to be a more patient human being.”<br />
That patience is coming handy now that <strong>Malick</strong> has taken on a new role in Hollywood:<br />
producer. “I’m involved in producing my first movie,” she explains, “and it’s a very interesting<br />
new hat for me to wear. A friend brought me an amazing book, Mustang: The Saga of the<br />
Wild Horse in the American West. As a big animal advocate, I’m very concerned about our<br />
last remaining wild horses being rounded up. We’re soon going to lose them. This story is<br />
about a woman who started the fight to save them.” <strong>Malick</strong> hopes to shoot the film during<br />
her summer hiatus from Cleveland. “I’ll produce, executive produce and star as Wild Horse<br />
Annie,” adds the actress/producer. “We have a budget, but we’re probably gonna need some<br />
more money, so that’s part of (my job), too. But we hired a screenwriter who’s supposed to<br />
be handing (the script) in this week. Then we have to cast it and find the director, so we have<br />
our work cut out for us!”<br />
When I ask how <strong>Malick</strong> made the jump from performer to producer without the usual actors’<br />
siren call of “wanting to direct,” she notes, “I have directed some plays and staged readings.<br />
And it was really fun; I didn’t know I would like it so much. So that still is a possibility. But I<br />
can’t imagine wearing two hats, at least not initially.”<br />
Certainly acting has been a constant in <strong>Malick</strong>’s life since her high school years in Buffalo,<br />
New York. In fact, her first professional summer<br />
gig was at Bellport’s 70-year-old Gateway Playhouse<br />
where she played Hope Harcourt in Anything<br />
Goes. “I think it was 1973 maybe” mulls<br />
<strong>Malick</strong>. “I’m 60 now, so it was when I was 22. It<br />
was after college and after doing my internship<br />
in Washington, D.C.”<br />
Continues <strong>Malick</strong>, “I had always wanted to<br />
act. I minored in theater in college (Ohio Wesleyan<br />
University), so I knew that was where I<br />
was going. It was either that or being a veterinarian.<br />
But I sucked at science, so that decision<br />
was made for me. I also took a year off to work<br />
for Jack Kemp; he had been our congressman<br />
and asked me if I wanted to come try it after<br />
college, which I did.” To this day, <strong>Malick</strong> remains<br />
politically active and lobbies often for federal funding of arts and education. “It’s how I got<br />
my start in high school, through a great music program,” she notes. “And I lobby on behalf of<br />
animals and animal welfare, as well as being very pro-choice, so I have been a spokesperson<br />
for Planned Parenthood, as well.”<br />
Still, for all the causes and contributions, <strong>Malick</strong> could never stay away from the spotlight<br />
for long. After her D.C. days, she returned to New York “and worked in theater - where you<br />
make $75 a week,” she recalls. “Someone approached me and said, `Would you be interested in<br />
modeling Would you come and meet Wilhelmina’ I did, and I ended up for the next five years<br />
working between New York and Paris and Milan, seeing the world and having a great ol’ time.<br />
But I knew it was only a finite departure and that I would come back to acting.”<br />
And waiting tables. “I was trying to be a working actor,” notes <strong>Malick</strong>, “but I had to supplement<br />
my income with waitressing. Then I got my first full-time job, on the soap opera, Love of<br />
Life.” Fans of Hot in Cleveland can appreciate the connection, since on that show, <strong>Malick</strong> plays<br />
an Emmy-winning former soap star. “I actually went back and did a day on All My Children,<br />
recalls the actress. “Susan Lucci was a guest on our show, so I went back and did a day as<br />
Victoria Chase, my character, on hers. It’s mindboggling to think about it. I think they shot over<br />
100 takes in one day. It’s like a factory where they go, `boom boom boom’ – so much work.<br />
They cover so much ground in so much exposition every day.<br />
“On our show,” continues <strong>Malick</strong>. “we have five days to put on a little play in front of an<br />
audience. So we really get to hone our craft. It’s great fun, and I love it.” ●<br />
<strong>Wendie</strong><br />
ON HEALTH<br />
I’m very blessed. My dad is 92 years old and going strong. And my<br />
mom is in good shape. She walks her dog twice a day, every single<br />
day. And she lives in Buffalo, NY. (laughing) It keeps you honest.<br />
ON DIET<br />
I’m a pescatarian, so I eat fish, but otherwise I just eat vegetables,<br />
fruits and raw nuts. I gave up the whites: white flour, white sugar. I<br />
do drink wine and an occasional martini, so instead of dessert, that’s<br />
my vice.<br />
ON EXCERCISE<br />
I exercise almost every day and feel so much better when I do. I<br />
do Pilates and I ski. I love to feel in touch with my body because<br />
the older we get, the more you really have to not let it slip. It’s much<br />
harder to get it back. We’ve got dogs and horses, so I have critters<br />
I have to get out anyway. Having animals is a great enforcer of<br />
exercise!<br />

It’s September and eight year old Annisa is back<br />
in school, just like thousands of kids on Long Island.<br />
This year Annisa is in second grade - again.<br />
Annisa is a Fresh Air Fund kid from a low income<br />
apartment in Staten Island that she shares with her<br />
mother and three sisters. Last summer, Annisa was<br />
only seven years old when her mother put her on<br />
a bus so she could travel a few hours and spend a<br />
week with total strangers.<br />
Elle and Jack are from Long Island, but for the<br />
time being Jack’s job has taken them to a pretty<br />
nice home in Massachusetts. It’s more expensive than the Long Island houses<br />
either of them grew up in, although they’ll tell you their childhood homes were<br />
rich in love. Knowing how fortunate they were then and are now, Elle and Jack<br />
wanted to give back somehow, but they thought writing a check was too easy.<br />
They wanted to do something “hands on.” They loved parenting their 3 kids<br />
who are now college age, so it just seemed right to love another child.<br />
Jack went to work that first day. Elle and Annisa went to Build a Bear. That<br />
night Annisa was glued to Elle’s side. She wouldn’t talk to Jack. But her new bear<br />
Sylvia would. And Sylvia the Bear told Jack, “Sylvia doesn’t like you. She thinks<br />
you’re going to get drunk tonight and then get angry.” Jack gently told her, “We<br />
don’t drink here. We don’t even have alcohol in<br />
Elle and Jack<br />
wanted to give<br />
back somehow,<br />
but they thought<br />
writing a check<br />
was too easy.<br />
this house. And I don’t get angry like that.”<br />
Over the next few days Annisa witnessed gentle<br />
love. She saw how Jack treated his wife, and even<br />
their little dog. She saw how proud Jack was of<br />
the letter her mother had instructed her to write<br />
to her father during the week’s vacation. Annisa<br />
had brought a stamped envelope for the letter, addressed<br />
to the prison where her father was. And<br />
she felt how gently Jack held her little seven year<br />
old hand when she finally agreed to take walks<br />
along the shore of a Massachussets lake.<br />
After she left, Annisa, Elle and Jack talked<br />
during the year. They sent presents for Christmas, Valentines Day and Easter.<br />
And she came back this summer. There’s no mention of Annisa’s Dad these days,<br />
and Elle didn’t want to ask. Annisa’s mom did ask for a favor - to help get her<br />
now eight-year old on a normal sleep schedule. Annisa’s single mom works a lot<br />
of hours, and sometimes lets her girls stay up all night watching DVDs so when<br />
she’s home in the day they can all sleep a few hours.<br />
This summer Elle got some books for Annisa, and a little journal with a lock she<br />
wanted. Elle is a Special Education teacher and hopes her experience can help.<br />
Annisa can’t read, so she has to repeat second grade. In fact, this winter they’ll<br />
be writing letters. Maybe that will help too.<br />
And that should help them plan for next summer. Annisa plans to come back<br />
next year. She told me, “It’s because Elle and Jack are fun.” And Elle and Jack will<br />
be there waiting for her. Elle says, “We were really trying to do something more<br />
than just dropping a check in the mail – and giving back to one child has made<br />
a world of difference.” To everyone, I’m sure. ●<br />

Good Advice<br />
The aging process, if you haven’t noticed, has a wear-and-tear effect on<br />
our skin and our bodies. As we enter our forties and early fifties the jaw line<br />
and neck begin to loosen, creating jowls, neck laxity, vertical bands in the<br />
neck, and that much dreaded “turkey neck.” In recent years we have<br />
become intolerant of these consequences, and more of us are seeking to<br />
rewind the clock and revitalize our physical being.<br />
There were over 100,000 facelifts performed in 2009 according to the<br />
American Society of Plastic Surgeons, but the techniques used vary widely. There are corporate<br />
sponsored face lifts that are advertised on television claiming no downtime, trademarked lifts,<br />
mini lifts, S-lifts, MACS lifts, and deep plane lifts. This is all very confusing,<br />
and most of us do not understand the vital differences. How do you decide<br />
what procedure gives the best results, with minimal scarring and downtime,<br />
and the longest lasting results This is the most commonly asked<br />
question by my patients.<br />
Short-incision “mini” face lifts, often the ones advertised on television,<br />
utilize an abbreviated incision to lift the skin. While the incision is small<br />
(hidden inside the ear) leaving minimal scarring, post-operative bleeding<br />
and bruising is a trademark of these procedures. They typically tighten only the skin and do<br />
not lift and tighten the muscles. As a result, they can leave patients with a windswept,<br />
“pulled” appearance, and the results last only three to five years, as the underlying facial muscles<br />
are not tightened. The facial muscles are the structure of the face, the beams that hold up<br />
the face lift if you will; and if not treated the lifted face will fall earlier than desired.<br />
Compared to “mini” face lifts, a deep plane face lift yields more effective, longer lasting<br />
results with my patient population. It is a procedure that lifts the skin and muscle as one unit,<br />
as well as lifting the mid-face and cheek area. On the downside, deep plane face lifts require<br />
a very large incision, resulting in more noticeable scarring which makes hiding your procedure<br />
virtually impossible.<br />
The most state-of-the-art face lift is a recently developed hybrid technique, that I call the<br />
The Future Lift: A New Hybrid Facelift Technique<br />
by Andrew A. Jacono, M.D., FACS<br />
The most state-of-the-art<br />
face lift is a recently<br />
developed hybrid technique,<br />
that I call the Future Lift.<br />
advertisement<br />
Future Lift, which fuses the optimal features of older-generation, short-incision “mini” face<br />
lifts with deep plane face lifts. Hybrid face lifts yield superior, natural looking results with minimal<br />
scarring and a shorter recovery (7-10 days). In addition, this lift restores volume to the<br />
cheekbones and smoothes nasolabial folds, resulting in a youthful, beautiful, heart- shaped<br />
face and authentic result that does not appear tight or “overdone.” For years, my patients<br />
have had to choose between better results or less scarring. With hybrid face lifts, they get the<br />
best of both worlds.<br />
The Future Lift uses a short incision, while lifting the facial tissue and muscles simultaneously<br />
so patients get the superior results of a deep plane face lift, combined with the minimal scarring<br />
of a “mini lift.” It is not only an option that delivers best-in-class<br />
results, but a procedure that offers longer-lasting results as well. The standard<br />
lifetime of a “mini lift” is between three to five years, but with newer<br />
hybrid face lifts results typically last 12 to 15 years.<br />
Just like a “mini face lift,” The Future Lift can be performed under local<br />
anesthesia in about an hour and a half. General anesthesia is not necessary,<br />
making this a safe procedure as well. Given the level of difficulty in<br />
performing this procedure, as a more detailed understanding of the anatomy<br />
is required, I encourage any patient considering this procedure to seek a physician who specializes<br />
in facial plastic surgery and possesses the level of expertise required to perform a hybrid<br />
face lift. As a committed facial plastic surgeon, I assure that all of my patients have a clear<br />
understanding of the different types of procedures. Any patient considering a face lift should<br />
be aware of all of their options.<br />

Survival Studies<br />
Independent Bookstores Get Creative<br />
Given the dramatic rise of e-book sales over the past couple of years,<br />
the recent news about the downfall of bookselling giant Borders Books<br />
may not have surprised anyone. It certainly hasn’t surprised the thousands<br />
of independent booksellers in the U.S.. They’ve been practicing<br />
survival strategies for years. The American Booksellers Association, which<br />
began in 1900 (and welcomed Mark Twain as the keynote speaker at<br />
its 1902 convention), is the main organization supporting independent<br />
booksellers, or “indies,” as they are called. Since its founding, the ABA<br />
has provided support, advice and a sense of community to independent<br />
bookstores throughout the country, but with recent developments in e-<br />
book technology, the ABA has had to innovate on a scale seldom seen<br />
in its history. In 2008, the organization created IndieBound, a “unique,<br />
community-oriented movement that celebrates independent bookstores<br />
and promotes shopping locally,” according to IndieBound.com. The site<br />
(indiebound.com) allows readers to connect with their favorite indie<br />
bookstores—and with other like-minded readers.<br />
Owners of independent bookstores throughout the country have been<br />
doing a lot of soul-searching, reconciling new business models with the<br />
desire to remain true to their missions. They are<br />
“Unlike the chain<br />
stores, the money<br />
spent here goes<br />
right back into<br />
the community.”<br />
Book Revue’s local and independent book table<br />
also trying to be as creative as possible in contriving<br />
new and exciting methods to draw customers<br />
back to brick and mortar bookstores by<br />
offering opportunities to learn, socialize, and stay<br />
connected to their communities. Perhaps it’s an<br />
amazing new “print-on-demand” machine that<br />
can print a book in about five minutes. Maybe<br />
it’s adding a wine bar, offering knitting or writing<br />
classes, holding raffle drawings or photo contests,<br />
or hosting children’s book fairs.<br />
The owners of two of Long Island’s most beloved independent bookstores—The<br />
Dolphin Bookshop in Port Washington and Book Revue in<br />
Huntington—are well aware of the challenges, and both have adapted<br />
in order to thrive in these difficult times.<br />
Patti Vunk owns The Dolphin Bookshop, a staple of the community<br />
with a very loyal following. The store opened on Main Street in 1946<br />
and Patti’s family bought it in 1971. Patti and her sister grew up working<br />
in the bookstore. “It was trial by fire,” says Patti, but the family worked<br />
together and learned together and made a go of the business. “I was<br />
shy,” reveals Patti, so she stayed behind the scenes and developed a keen<br />
sense of merchandising and display. Her talent is evident as soon as you<br />
enter the store, which has always been fun and inviting and so much<br />
more than a bookstore. Patti believes that her store is well-suited to respond<br />
to challenging times. “While many independent bookstores are<br />
now scrambling to sell merchandise other than books, the Dolphin has<br />
always sold these items: puzzles, games, plush toys, greeting cards, gift<br />
baskets, and much more.”<br />
Patti has always wanted to open a café, and now, with a new location,<br />
that dream is becoming a reality. But Patti’s vision for the café space is<br />
more than just a place to drink a latte. “I envision the store becoming an<br />
arts center, one that hosts book discussions, poetry readings, and other<br />
arts-related events.”<br />
“Independent stores are important to local downtowns,” says Patti.<br />
“Unlike the chain stores, the money spent here goes right back into the<br />
community.”<br />
Robert Klein, co-owner (with his brother Richard) of Book Revue in<br />
Huntington, is upbeat about the current state of indie bookstores. “Our<br />
customers know us and support us.” During a recent dispute with<br />
their landlord, thousands of customers offered their support. The<br />
store opened in 1977 and has expanded five times, including adding<br />
a café in the early 1990s. Perhaps best known for its high-profile<br />
events, the store is also a haven for readers searching for deeply<br />
discounted remainders and rare and collectible books. Book Revue<br />
is even getting in on the e-book trend, offering “BLIO” (a division of<br />
mega-distributor Baker & Taylor) e-books on its website.<br />
Authors enjoy their book events at independent bookstores. Long<br />
Islander Saralee Rosenberg, author of Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead and<br />
several other novels, is a big fan of indies. “Independent booksellers,<br />
such as Book Revue, have been instrumental in bringing readers<br />
together with writers in a way that the chain stores can’t. It’s the indies<br />
that have always been willing to introduce the important books<br />
that may not be bestseller-bound. They have always had the passion<br />
to promote exciting, original books that don’t always get reviewed<br />
by the New York Times but are worthy of attention. Mostly, they’ve<br />

of stores are turning author visits into real<br />
‘events.’ I did a signing last week at City<br />
Lights in San Francisco and they served martinis<br />
and played vinyl records on a wonderful<br />
old turntable to set the mood. Many indies<br />
also bring in a couple of authors at once<br />
for “conversations”–which you just can’t<br />
get anywhere else. I also think many bookstores–indies<br />
or chains–are maximizing their<br />
local book/local author selection. Otherwise, many readers would<br />
never find books set in their own town or written by a hometown<br />
author. Most of all, though, booksellers at stores have become even<br />
greater “handsellers” than ever, with strong relationships with customers.<br />
They’ve been known to set aside books they expect specific<br />
customers might like. You can’t beat that personal relationship. It’s the<br />
great gift of bookstores! ●<br />

BONE DENSITY TESTING FOR MEN & WOMEN<br />
The first step towards the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia<br />
After the age of 35, both men and women begin to lose bone mass unless they take action to prevent it. Early intervention can<br />
prevent future problems since bone health is crucial to our overall health and well-being.<br />
The absolute amount of bone as measured by bone mineral density (BMD) testing generally correlates with bone strength and its<br />
ability to bear weight. By measuring BMD, it is possible to predict fracture risk in the same manner that measuring blood pressure<br />
can help predict the risk of a stroke.<br />
The World Health Organization has developed definitions for low bone mass (osteopenia) and osteoporosis. Determining a person’s<br />
BMD helps our doctors decide if a person is at increased risk for osteoporosis-related fracture. Osteoporosis is not only treatable,<br />
it is also preventable. By the time we begin to think about our bone health, we may already have suffered serious damage.<br />
At Linchitz Medical Wellness, our mission is to help our patients achieve and maintain bone health by emphasizing natural<br />
treatment and the prevention of illness. Strong and healthy bones are a cornerstone to successful aging.<br />

Zwanger-Pesiri<br />
Radiology has taken a<br />
group pledge to “Image<br />
Wisely.” The “Image<br />
Wisely” campaign is a<br />
joint initiative undertaken<br />
by the American College of Radiology,<br />
the Radiological Society of North America<br />
and other radiology organizations, with<br />
the goal of reducing the<br />
amount of radiation<br />
patients receive from medical<br />
imaging exams. We at<br />
Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology<br />
whole-heartedly embrace<br />
this cause as our philosophy<br />
which has always been to<br />
provide exceptional care to<br />
our patients, and this<br />
includes safe and appropriate imaging.<br />
As a part of this campaign, our goal is to<br />
increase awareness about performing<br />
only necessary testing that uses radiation,<br />
and when doing so, using the lowest possible<br />
radiation dose.<br />
To show our commitment, Zwanger-Pesiri<br />
Arthritic pain is due<br />
to the synovial fluid<br />
surrounding the joints<br />
becoming too acid<br />
thereby causing the ligaments,<br />
tendons, and<br />
cartilage to deteriorate causing pain.<br />
All diseases thrive and survive in an<br />
acid environment as it is<br />
the culprit of all ailments.<br />
Once the body is brought<br />
to a proper PH and maintained,<br />
the body can regain<br />
health rapidly and do<br />
the repairs necessary, but<br />
only in an alkaline state.<br />
When your body has no more alkaline<br />
minerals left it must neutralize the acid<br />
ash as the human body will do anything<br />
to survive. One of these 4 alkaline<br />
minerals, calcium, is stored in the body<br />
(in our bones) in great abundance. It is<br />
a cumulative effect; year after year of<br />

Radiology took the lead and purchased the<br />
first CT Flash scanner in the Northeast. The<br />
CT Flash scanner emits the lowest radiation<br />
dose of all CTs, and is also the fastest scanner<br />
on the market today.<br />
Our commitment to dose reduction also<br />
extends to educating both patients and<br />
referring physicians. We provide all<br />
patients who receive a CT scan a “dose<br />
card”. The dose card is a calculation<br />
of the effective dose<br />
of radiation received during<br />
the CT exam. The radiation<br />
dose is also provided to the<br />
referring physician. Knowing<br />
the actual dose received from<br />
a given study will help<br />
patients and their doctors<br />
keep track of how much radiation<br />
they receive over their lifetime.<br />

eating too much food the body will<br />
take loans from the bones and never<br />
pay it back! The body will take more<br />
than it needs always to err on the side<br />
of caution of course, and takes it from<br />
the largest bone mass in our body; the<br />
pelvis. This is why after the age of 50<br />
you can fall down and break a hip!<br />
Brittle breaking bones are<br />
all due to an acid body.<br />
The good news is that this<br />
can be reversed through<br />
diet education, eating<br />
more alkaline foods and<br />
keeping toxins out of the<br />
body! As soon as the body achieves a<br />
positive healthy balance; calcium robbing<br />

Help With Weight Loss and Diabetes<br />
by Dr. Dazhi Chen, PhD, LAC, IPA of N.S.-L.I.J.<br />
Recent reports show that<br />
two thirds of American<br />
adults are either overweight<br />
or obese in this country and<br />
obesity rates have grown<br />
from 15% in 1978-1980 to<br />
32% in 2003-04.<br />
Not only does obesity increase the risk for<br />
developing major diseases, including type 2<br />
diabetes, heart disease<br />
and stroke, but may lead<br />
to some forms of cancer<br />
as well. Many therapeutic<br />
weight loss programs may<br />
work in the short term,<br />
however, as most Americans<br />
know, the patient<br />
gains the weight back<br />
almost immediately after he or she discontinues<br />
the program — usually under<br />
unhealthy conditions during treatment or<br />
after the patient has stopped exercising.<br />
Weight gain can be attributed to many<br />
things, but metabolism is a key consideration<br />
and should be looked at seriously.<br />
I recently developed a healthy, successful<br />
way of losing weight with acupuncture,<br />
advertisement<br />
which can actually change your metabolism.<br />
There are several unique characteristics with<br />
this therapy:<br />
1. You do NOT gain back the weight you lost.<br />
2. You will see the results as early as the<br />
FIRST WEEK.<br />
3. Stop craving food.<br />
4. Health Issues such as insomnia, constipation,<br />
menopause and stress will be alleviated<br />
simultaneously during<br />
the treatment.<br />
5. It is effective for how<br />
your whole body will function.<br />
If other weight loss programs<br />
have failed call Dr.<br />
Chen at 516-562-9221 or<br />
516-526-2058 (located at<br />
277 Northern Blvd., Suite. 306, Great Neck)<br />
for an appointment or email<br />
altmedny@gmail.com. Acupuncture is also an<br />
effective treatment for menopause, pain management<br />
(neck pain, shoulder and back pain)<br />
as well depression, fatigue and infertility.<br />
