    Oral cancer, in its early stages, can be detected by your DENTIST! Although most insurance companies WILL NOT pay for it, the cost is anywhere from $40-$60. Most oral cancers are missed, until the later stages, when it is usually fatal. The test is VERY simple AND PAINLESS! Simply swish with a vinegar-tasting rinse, then your doctor will examine tissues with a blue light! There are no pre-dispositions for oral cancer, so everyone over the age of 18 should have this test once per year! Shelling out the payment for this test would be well worth it if YOU or a FAMILY MEMBER are diagnosed with something soon enough to cure it!! Also, Everyone should get after their insurance to pick up the cost of this test!! (It only took them 15 YEARS! to pick up the mammogram!

    too many cancer causes, too many cures, too many precautions, too many assumptions, too many guesses, too many folk lores, too many heads up, too many scares, too many false hopes, too many naive beliefs, your days are numbered!!! get over it, you are gonna die. Go to the hospital and see how many there are from second hand smoke-- thats crap, but i guess we gotta blame it on something
