Greetings!
...welcome to another OraMedia Newsletter.
What are you going to do when you can't find a dentist when you need one?? Wait it out, eat zucchini and listen to Zappa, right?
Well, not quite, but I managed to fit all of that in this newsletter somehow.
Hope you like it. It beats cutting the grass in this heat.
On with it...

 No Dentist?? Oh, no!
Gary F. Arnett DDS
Dental emergencies can occur at home or in
the wilderness without warning and can incapacitate a person in an
instant. "No problem, I'll get right over to the dentist," you think.
Hopefully, that is possible, but not always. You may live some distance
from a dentist, it may be a night or weekend when it is hard to find
one, or there may not be any available.
One of the first things that stop during a
disaster is dental care. Major natural disasters, such as earthquakes,
fires, or floods, and human disasters, such as terrorism or riots,
close dental offices in a second. Electrical shortages, as seen in
California recently, or any disruption of the regional power grids and
there is no help since dentists can't operate without electricity.
Hospitals rarely have any dental services, so you could be on your own
for hours or days.

 I Might Be Movin' to Montana Soon...
...gonna be a mental toss flycoon.
Well, that's only partly true. I have had to remove the Glide Floss from the catalog due to unavailablity (to me, anyway) so, don't you know that the Dr. Collins folks have a nice floss and Mary sent us some. We all like it, so it is going into the catalog soon - probably around the 11th and I'll make an announcement, of course. I expect to sell millions...
In the meantime, enjoy this old video of Zappa doing 'Montana' in case you ever wondered where dental floss actually came from. It will bring back memories - or not, but I thought it was fitting, novel and one of the safer Zappa tunes for this audience.
Raisin' my lonely dental floss,

Dr. Collins Perio Toothbrush
Hi Tom,
I just received my Dr Collins Perio Toothbrush
yesterday and I LOVE IT !!!!!!! It is the BEST toothbrush I have
ever used !!!!!!! It is soft and very soothing to the gums
like a great massage. It felt soooo good that I rebrushed my teeth this
morning. I will definitely be ordering more brushes.
Thanks,
Brenda A. Simmons

Now, I was a couple of days late getting Brenda her order and she called to let me know just how disappointed she was, so when she called again, I thought I was really going to catch it. Instead, she left that message (above) on my voicemail. It's nice when someone actually takes time out of their day to call and tell you how much they like yer product, eh?? I really do like this toothbrush! (...and I like Brenda a whole lot better now, too!)

 What are you going to do with all of that Zucchini this summer?
Last issue we talked about dealing with inflammation. Well, if you have an abundance of zucchini, start eating it - for inflammation and a whole lot of other reasons (it all helps you teeth). Someone sent me this article and I don't know the source, but it was probably Dr. Weil.
Zucchini is an excellent source of manganese and vitamin C. It is
also a very good source of magnesium, vitamin A, dietary fiber,
potassium, copper, folate, and phosphorus. In addition, summer squash
is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B1, vitamin B2,
vitamin B6, calcium, zinc, niacin, and protein.
Health Benefits
Promotes Optimal Health
Although not as potent as root vegetables like burdock, garlic or
onion, squashes have been found to have anti-cancer type effects.
Although phytonutrient research on squash is limited, some lab studies
have shown vegetable juices obtained from squash to be parallel to
juices made from leeks, pumpkin, and radish in their ability to prevent
cell mutations (cancer-like changes).
Supports Men's Health
In research studies, extracts from squash have also been found to help reduce symptoms of a condition occurring in men called benign prostatic hypertrophy,
or BPH. In this condition, the prostate gland becomes problematically
enlarged, which can cause difficulty with urinary and sexual function.
Particularly in combination with other phytonutrient-containing foods,
squash may be helpful in reducing BPH symptoms.
Well-Rounded Cardiovascular Protection
The traditional nutrients provided by summer squash are equally
impressive. Our food ranking system qualified summer squash as an
excellent source of manganese and vitamin C and a very good source of magnesium, vitamin A (notably through its concentration of carotenoids, including beta-carotene), fiber, potassium, folate, copper, riboflavin, and phosphorus.
Many of these nutrients have been shown in studies to be helpful
for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease.
Summer squash's magnesium has been shown to be helpful for reducing the
risk of heart attack and stroke. Together with the potassium in summer
squash, magnesium is also helpful for reducing high blood pressure. The
vitamin C and beta-carotene found in summer squash can help to prevent
the oxidation of cholesterol. Since oxidized cholesterol is the type
that builds up in blood vessel walls, these nutrients may help to
reduce the progression of atherosclerosis. The vitamin folate found in
summer squash are needed by the body to break down a dangerous
metabolic byproduct called homocysteine, which can contribute
to heart attack and stroke risk if levels get too high. Finally, summer
squash's fiber has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels, which
can help to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart
disease.
A Disease-Fighting Food
The nutrients in summer squash are useful for the prevention of
other conditions as well. High intakes of fiber-rich foods help to keep
cancer-causing toxins away from cells in the colon, while the folate,
vitamin C, and beta-carotene help to protect these cells from the
chemicals that can lead to colon cancer. The antioxidants vitamin C and
beta-carotene also have anti-inflammatory properties that make them
helpful for conditions like asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid
arthritis, where inflammation plays a big role. The copper found in
summer squash is also helpful for reducing the painful symptoms of
rheumatoid arthritis.
