Have at it songw. The axe is LEHM in case you didn't know. They have been sitting on the bid most of the last couple of days. I don't think it's going to see the double digits for a long, long time, but what do I know? I'll hold my short for the inevitable, it would take one heckuva squeeze before I'm at a loss on this trade. Barb

FYI, A friend showed me the April 98 issue of the Journal of The American Denatal Association (JADA). On page 419, there is an Enamelon ad which reads: "Flouride alone will not remineralize...If you put in vitro lesions into a fluoride solution, no remineralization will occur. "1 INTRODUCING ENAMELON ...Because fluoride needs soluble calcium and phosphate for remineralization. <there is picture of an enamel rod, with fluoride/calcium/phosphate ions> - Demineralization occurs when plaque acids attack tooth enamel causing loss of calcium and phosphate. - Fluoride fights cavities in a number of ways; however, its ability to remineralize could be limited by the amounts of calcium and phosphate ions present in saliva. - ENAMELON contains the active ingredient sodium fluoride formulated with soluble calcium and phosphate ions. - ENAMELON penetrates demineralized areas of tooth enamel with fluoride and an assured level of soluble calcium and phosphate ions. - ENAMELON enhances remineralization to strengthen tooth enamel. <logo> Remineralization Technology to Help Stop Cavities Before They Begin To find out more about Enamelon technology, visit us on the Internet at www.enamelon.com (1.
