Talk on Being Vegetarian and Detox
Ami Mehta
Ami is a self taught vegetarian cook with plenty of inspiration given by her Mother and her Mother-in-law, both excellent cooks in their own right. She specializes in vegetarian cooking in various multinational cuisines.
Ami grew up in Bombay (now known as Mumbai) in India. Bombay has always been a major cosmopolitan city, with a melting point of cultures from all over the World, thus giving exposure to the international cuisines experienced there.
Ami is also a folk art teacher and cooking to her is a form of art. She believes that quality & presentation of food is very important in any form of cuisine. When preparing or planning a meal, she  looks into different criteria of the meal, like the colour of the food, the place, the occasion, the effects and the compatibility, the time & of course the people at the dining table!
She hails from a Hindu vegetarian family and did not have any exposure whatsoever to meat till she moved to Singapore after her marriage to a Singaporean in 1996! Imagine the culture shock she faced then. However, her commitment to Vegetarianism has remained steadfast and she has even inspired her husband to cut down on his meat eating ways!
She has a husband who is a strong supporter of bringing her talents to the fore. Being a Singaporean, he had a strong penchant for local food and encouraged her to replicate local Singapore cuisine in a vegetarian fashion. He enjoys good quality food and is a great compliment to her by being a great test taster and a constructive critic of her cooking. Also, her late Father-in-law was a source of inspiration & encouragement to revive the traditional dishes.
Ami, who has also worked as a travel agent has picked up recipes, tips and ideas from this additional experience and she is also well read and knowledgeable about various places and their cuisines. She tastes and observes the presentation of the food and works on the recipe until she gets it just right.
Ami is a new wave Vegetarian Chef who puts her “heart” into her craft and exhibits warmth and homely cooking in all her recipes.

Robotic Assisted Operation in Gynecology
Over the past two decades, great strides have been made in how surgeons do operations.  One significant advance has been “key-hole” surgery or minimal access surgery (MAS).  The traditional way of doing an operation requires the surgeon to make large incisions on the abdomen to remove or repair diseased or damaged organs. 

Revolution in surgery – robotic enhancement
Now there is a surgeon-controlled robotic “humanoid hand” that is miniaturized such that it can be passed into the abdomen with just an 8mm incision!
The da Vinci robot is an immersive (i.e. as if the surgeon is looking through a glass clad abdomen)  telerobotic surgical system designed to accurately follow movements of the surgeon’s hands i.e. a slave robot not an auto-robot like in the automobile industry

How to Keep Your Immune System at Peak Performance?
It is common for us to hear such remarks:
“You got the flu because your immunity is poor!” or “Boost your immune system and you will not get sick easily!”

What exactly do the above statements mean? Have you seen how your immune system responds when activated or called upon to protect you?

The basic rule of thumb to maintain healthy blood cells that are well separated and oxygenated is to eat high fibre and low protein diet. But it is a function that is highly dependent on the ability for the digestive system to absorb the nutrients. Many a time our blood cells are poor due to environmental stresses and contaminations.

• Learn how you can by-pass the digestion and absorption to ensure a good immune system?
• What is so important about regeneration of new cells?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic functional disorder of the digestive tract with no demonstrable organic disease. It manifests with abdominal cramps, pain or bloating, accompanied by a change in bowel frequency and stool form, either towards constipation, diarrhoea or both in alternation. IBS can occur at any age, but the older the patient, the more important it is to diligently exclude serious illness. The diagnosis of IBS is based on the confident exclusion of other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, malabsorption syndromes, biliary and pancreatic disease and cancer of the colon and the rectum. A good history and clinical examination combined with judicious use of some investigations, which may include colonoscopy, are often sufficient to establish a diagnosis of IBS. Although not life threatening, treatment of IBS can be difficult and symptoms may be hard to control. Psychological factors which exacerbate IBS are not uncommon and they must be dealt with.

“Do I have a fertility problem?  What can I do about it?”
Fertility is on the decline worldwide.  Couples intending marriage or who are planning for a child will benefit from knowledge of various infertility issues that affect both husband and wife.  Problems with male fertility are rife and require investigation into the status of the sperm and its function. The causes of malfunction should be identified and appropriate treatment given.  The state of health of the reproductive system of the female should be determined, and again malfunction identified and the causes found and treated.  Common problems include disorders of ovulation, tubal function, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, and pelvic endometriosis, all of which are amenable to treatment.  Modern day management include laparoscopic surgery and assisted reproductive procedures (including IVF).  Overall the pregnancy success rate may be of the order of 50%.

Questions:
(1)  I am told I have a sperm problem.  What can I do about it?
(2)  I am troubled by severe menstrual pain, what can this be due to, and what can I do?
(3)  I have gone for IVF three times and failed.  Is there any hope left?

Andropause (Male Menopause)
Males undergo menopause too. Hormones in both sexes decline from the early 20′s on. In many women this culminates in the 40s or 50s with the syndrome known as menopause. Technically the menopause is the precise time a woman stops having her periods. Symptoms in women often start years earlier and this has become known as the perimenopause and is associated with a gradual decline in womens’ sex hormone levels.
Men have no specific marker such as stopping periods in women to delineate their menopause. But their hormones decline from the early to mid twenties. At some point, usually in the early – mid forties this hormonal decline becomes apparent with physical and mental changes occurring.

Find out what the changes are and how these changes have an enormous impact on men’s lives. Learn about prostate cancer, testosterone and the treatment for andropause!

How to Keep Your Immune System at Peak Performance?
It is common for us to hear such remarks:
“You got the flu because your immunity is poor!” or “Boost your immune system and you will not get sick easily!”

What exactly do the above statements mean? Have you seen how your immune system responds when activated or called upon to protect you?

The basic rule of thumb to maintain healthy blood cells that are well separated and oxygenated is to eat high fibre and low protein diet. But it is a function that is highly dependent on the ability for the digestive system to absorb the nutrients. Many a time our blood cells are poor due to environmental stresses and contaminations.

• Learn how you can by-pass the digestion and absorption to ensure a good immune system?
• What is so important about regeneration of new cells?
