The $2.3 million Yamam Sports Center, a gift from Michigan supporters, contains sports, training, rehabilitation and recreation facilities. "We went on the shooting range with them. We fired a Glock 19 handgun and an MP5 automatic weapon. We were learning from the best. These guys are professional soldiers. Hiller noted the kidnapping of the young Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, still held hostage in Gaza after five years. "In last Thursday's terror attacks, there were potential hostage-taking situations, with a lot of civilians around. You need almost surgical accuracy. You're talking about guys that do this professionally, and Yamam is the best." The Michgan FIDF-built sports and training building at the Yamam base includes a fitness facility with a modern weight room. "They also have a number of padded rooms where they do their hand-to- hand combat training as well as state- of-the-art rehabilitation facilities," said Hiller. `And there are some areas just for recreation — a place with air condition- ing, TV and video games to kick back at the end of a hard day of training and to forget about the reality that they have been forced into. "At every single base we went to, there was something donated by the FIDF. "As American Jews, we have a duty — and our duty is to support Israel;' Hiller said. "Whether that responsibility is served in active duty in the Israeli army or in support of the Israeli army, we have a duty to support the future and well being of the State of Israel. "As a member of the young leadership of FIDF, I'm happy to be able to intro- duce the next generation of American Jews to our opportunities to take care of the State of Israel." I I "Hair is everywhere — my comb, floor, drain, clothes ... is this normal?" "I think I can actually see through my hair." Suzanne Tedesco, a certified laser therapist, has been hearing these con- cerns from men and women for 5 years when they first call or visit Michi- gan Hair and Skin Center in Troy. Many are frustrated because they can diet and exercise to help control their shape, and they can keep their smiles healthy with regular dental care, but they feel a total loss of control over their thinning hair."All of our clients have stopped losing hair and experi- enced regrowth," she says. The Michigan Hair and Skin Center uses an FDA-approved system of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to reverse hair loss,and make thin weak hair thicker and healthier. Most importantly, LLLT actually re-grows hair with- out surgery, implants, drugs, or invasive practices. LLLT is medically tested and proven to be safe and effective. A study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology showed a 93 percent increase in hair among the respon- dents using the laser."Thinning hair occurs when the follicles are stran- gled by excessive DHT (dihydrotestoserone),"Tedesco explains."The laser breaks away the DHT, allowing the hair follicles to get the nutrients nec- essary to re-grow hair." In fact, she says,"Anyone who still has active hair follicles can benefit from laser therapy. Even where hair isn't visible, active follicles may still be present, making re-growth a possibility. Of course, follicles die after a few years, so the sooner someone seeks treatment, the better." LLLT isn't a fad or gimmick. It has been used in Europe for more than 20 years, and has been featured on Dateline, the ABC news, MSNBC, and in Women's Health and Men's Health magazines. Recently, there was a laser hair therapy segment on CBS-TV's The Doctors, and Barbara Walters of The View called it a "hot new product." The Michigan Hair and Skin Center in Troy uses Michigan's only pre- mium LLLT machine.The machine's 451 lasers are housed in a salon hair dryer-like cap, and they stimulate hair growth over the entire scalp."Simi- lar to how sunlight stimulates the body to produce melanin, resulting in a tan, the laser light stimulates the follicles to re-grow hair,"Tedesco says. "It simply helps the body heal itself." STOP HAIR LOSS TODAY!
