I'm almost ashamed to say that I read the National Enquirer. Many people tend to write it off as the next "alien sighting" mag. Whatever........it lets me escape reality for a few minutes now and then.

This week I was surprised, and elated, to see that they had an article about oral cancer. They quoted their statistics as correctly as I've interpreted them from this site, and urged everyone to have a dentist test them for this disease regularly.

Brian, I know your hard work had something to do with this. It's finally working!!!!!!!!! Bless you.

Thank you God!

Love,
Mandi

Mandi,

Don't be ashamed! I have to get my weekly fix of "brain candy" in People magazine. It is very superficial but let me be at ease for a few hours each week. As long as the word gets out is the most important thing. Sounds like NE is getting a social conscience? nah!
