Greetings!

Greetings from sunny & HOT Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! By now you have probably heard the news about the new study released hailing the anti-oxidant value of... coffee. My eyes bugged open the other morning (in the midst of munching on my breakfast of blueberries and strawberries) when I opened an email from my best friend containing this report on coffee - hot off the press. The claim is that coffee is shown to contain more antioxidants than many of those I once considered 'superfoods' in that sense. Needless to say, I finished the cup I was on and was encouraged to have another! If you haven't seen this story read about it here: http://mizar5.com/coffee.html

Of course the top news this week is of the devestation brought on by the recent hurricane hitting the Southern United States a couple of days ago. Many customers from overseas have inquired about it while placing orders and their concern is appreciated. Those victims of this huge event are in our prayers.

On with the newsletter...


Sugar operates like addictive drug in body
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In colonial times, the average amount of sugar consumed was four pounds per year. Cardiovascular disease and cancer were uncommon.

Currently, the average person eats 155 pounds of sugar a year, which is equivalent to more than half a cup per day. The average teen boy eats twice as much sugar than any other age or gender group. That puts him at over a cup of sugar a day.

Most children get on average 20 percent of their daily calories from sugar - that means 29 teaspoons of refined sugar daily.

New *Floss It Jet* Water Floss Oral Irrigator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Funny how a seemingly bad incident can open the door to new opportunities...

We recently had to drop the line of QuickPik and ShowerPik irrigators - a couple of days go by and a new product comes along with an EVEN BETTER concept.

Many people liked the idea of an irrigator which connected right to the bathroom faucet, but how did you go about adding an irrigant to it, other than water??

The new 'Floss It Jet' Water Floss oral irrigator provides BOTH of these features - and we're more than happy to be able to offer it! For those of you looking for a good way to irrigate using your OraMD, for example, this is it...

Floss It Jet Irrigator


Clarifications of OraMedia Methodology and Products
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many of you write or call with questions and I would like to address the most currently common ones as well as explain my position on a few things:

First, I simply want to clear something up about the Sonicare toothbrush which we have available. It is a toothbrush and does not replace irrigation. The Sonicare units and some of the Oral B operate in conjunction with the emittance of a certain, patented ultrasonic frequency which strips the fimbria from microbes so that they cannot attach themselves to the enamel surface of the tooth. If they cannot attach themselves, they cannot form plaque. This is the theory and it seems to work very well.

With irrigation, you are also cleaning between the teeth, along and below the gumline. No amount of brushing, either 'electronically' or manually, is going to do the job that an irrigator can do. Typical 'standard' irrigator tips allow you to clean below the gumline up to around 2-4mm deep. If you have deeper pockets, you need a cannula tip to adapt to the handle which allows you to soak the deeper pocket with an antimicrobial solution. In doing so, the theory is that you are cleaning the infected pocket and allowing the body to heal the area. If done properly and dilligently, it tends to work well.

Finally, many of you who call suggest this or that product, whether it is African Ant Poop or the skeletal remains of goats, ground and mixed with Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey... As far as I am concerned, if whatever you are using works then it is valid. It's that simple. I carry the small amount of products I carry because they are known to be effective and I know that there are tons of other good products out there.

What I would like to strees is this: More important than whatever product you are using is the frequency, dilligency and amount of time spent brushing, flossing and irrigating. By that, I mean - get out of the bathroom and brush for 5 or 8 or 12 minutes while watching the news or sitting on the porch while grabbing a sunset. Most Americans brush for 37 seconds and call it 'done.' It ain't done in 37 seconds and that is probably why dentistry is one of THE MOST lucrative of the medical professions in the New Millenium. We aren't doing the job thoroughly....

If you are brushing with copier toner and bacon bits and getting results, who am I to say you are wrong? Just brush longer, floss and irrigate and the majority of you will keep your teeth, gums and wallet healthy for a long time.

Finally, I wanted to make a quick statement about hydrogen peroxide. Many of you are using this exclusively for brushing or irrigating. It was suggested to me that hydrogen peroxide dilutes too quickly to be effective as an antimicrobial. However, it does a good job, apparently, of drawing the bacteria from its secure biofilm rendering it more or less 'free-floating' and more vulnerable. If you were to use hydrogen peroxide first, for that purpose, then brush, floss and irrigate with your usual antimicrobial paste, powder or liquid you may just be acheiving great results in 1/2 the time!


The Life Bible
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





As with product suggestions I frequently receive offers to 'joint-venture' with other authors, inventors and so on.

A couple of days ago I received such an offer to promote 'The Life Bible.' I got a copy, opened it up and really could not put it down!!

I was so impressed with John Evans' words that I decided, less than 1/4 of the way into it, I would take this book and tell others about it. I am excited about it and I want you to be too. This is one of those titles you'll want your kids to read and keep with them throughout their lives.

I've read a lot of self-help, motivational and other related material and I think John has a winner here, covering everything from relationships to finance...

Read this book at least three times (every year)!

It was the dentist's fault...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Woman Sues Dentist After She Allegedly Loses Job For Bad Teeth

AKRON, Ohio -- A Cleveland woman is suing her dentist after she allegedly lost her job for having bad teeth.

Theresa Maczko, 42, was working as a carpenter in the South Pole. She said she was fired after a company dentist determined she had periodontal disease that was untreated, NewsChannel5 partner The Akron Beacon Journal reported.

In order to work in the South Pole, Maczko said she had to undergo a physical and dental exam, so she wouldn't be in need of emergency medical care once she arrived.

There have been at least four emergency medical evacuations reported in the past several years, some of which have posed problems for rescuers because of the area's dangerous climate.

Maczko is asking for $150,000 from her Cuyahoga Falls dentist, claiming she suffered mental anguish and physical discomfort from his alleged failure to diagnose her periodontal disease.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Summit County Common Pleas Court.


More on Manuka Honey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last month I received an email from a dentist wanting to know when I was ordering more Manuka Honey. It seems one of his patients came down with a pretty good infection right after oral surgery and came back to see him. She was, however, not one to use antibiotics so she went home and applied some Manuka honey to the gums and the healing was incredibly fast! she later phoned and left a long message describing the whole procedure and claimed that you could virtually watch as the healing took place...

I will try to get a write-up about this posted for the next newsletter.

For those with outstanding orders, our next batch is due in from New Zealand shortly and you should see your jar between the 10th and 13th of September. Overseas orders will be about a week later.

Fair Tax for Americans
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are a long-time subscriber to this newsletter, you may recall that back before 2000 I would always add a little promotion at the end for FairTax.org. Although it was not necessarily in line with the subject matter, I felt strongly about it and wanted to spread the word.

Recently, talk show host, Neal Boortz and Congressman John Linder have published the Fair Tax Book, which is an outline of a great proposal to simply and introduce sanity to tax collection in the United States.

If you are an American Citizen, I urge you to put this Amazon best seller in your hands right now!
