Hi.

Alan and I always look forward to these meetings. Sometimes lots of people come, but if it's bad weather, then sometimes only a handful.

But there is ALWAYS something new to chat about, new opinions, various treatments, etc. We discuss what works for some and doesn't work for others. We discuss side effects.

For example, last night one of the people at the meeting had gone to his dentist and he was prescribed Prescription Toothpaste (which is essentially fluoride in big amounts). Never heard of this. And guy who got the prescription went to the pharmacy and was told "I have no idea how to fill this and his insurance would not pay for it"

So today I walked into my local pharmacy and asked "What is prescription toothpaste?" and he said "oh it hardens the enamel and some people have big issues with that so they are prescribed this toothpaste and it costs about $40 bucks or so.

I said "And it's just fluoride and nothing else?" and he said "that's right?" and I said "But isn't Fluoride dangerous"? and he said "not really".

Now I've been on the internet and I've read where it is very dangerous so who do we believe?

See what we learn at the meetings??
