Wm3250, I'm from the midwest originally, transplanted to CA then China. I can definately identify with the beer and barbque, the first stop on hitting U.S. shores is favorite barbque place, then the Mexican food. My oncologist, plus some of the written material from the cancer center sugget the occasional Guiness for calories and to help saliva. I know, Guiness and barb-que definately heresy, but there it is.

Mark, could you let us (or me) know the OTC flouride treatment the doc suggested?
