Dr. Van Nguyen: Holistic Medicine 'Practice Makes Perfect'
For Dr. Van Nguyen, M.D., opening her family and alternative medicine practice in Pacific Palisades last November 5 represented the culmination of a lifelong journey that began in Vietnam. When she opened Holistic Medical Clinic in the U.S. Bank building on Sunset, Nguyen had arrived at a place in life where she could expertly apply both conventional Western medicine and alternative methods to treating a broad range of ailments. 'My practice is rooted in three parts: body, emotion and spirit,' Nguyen says. 'The body manifests symptoms because it is stressed by physical factors (germs, food allergies, nutrition), psychological factors, or spiritual factors. This is why it's important to treat all three. And the magic of alternative medicine is that I can get all three parts to de-stress by using seven healing techniques.' Call it a case of 'practice makes perfect.' Everything came together for Nguyen while she worked at a San Francisco-area general medical practice, after she received her degrees from UC Davis and the University of California, San Francisco.

New dot therapy lasers away skin irregularities
Posted: Friday, April 11, 2008 at 11:53 a.m. Don't like your wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, discolorations? Zap them away. It's called dot therapy because that's precisely what you see on the treated skin, a patch of dots. Deborah Bonelli says she'll give the dots a shot. "I have some wrinkles in here from some prior smoking and I'd like to get rid of them. I have some acne scars from adult acne that I had and I'd like to see if it could help me out a little further," she says. This latest version of the carbon dioxide laser delivers the beam in little micro dots, leaving untreated skin in between. According to dermatologist Dr. Deborah Sarnoff, this aids in healing. "It's from those islands of normal skin that you can heal, heal rapidly, so it's really breakthrough technology because the healing period is much faster than it was before," she says.
