We provide you with the finest food-grade Diatomaceous Earth Powder for your Dogs and Cats. Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called diatoms. Our food grade diatomaceous earth comes from the finest fresh water deposits, to offer you the best quality diatomaceous earth. Food grade diatomaceous earth meets very strict regulations in terms of crystalline silica (must be less that 1%) and heavy metal content, making it safe for your dogs and cats to consume.
Diatomaceous Earth kills insects by PHYSICAL action---not chemical. Its fine, fossilized structure scratches the waxy outer coating of fleas and other insects so they dehydrate and die. Because the DE particle is so small--it has no harm to people and pets. It is a simple mineral---silica. As an added bonus Diatomaceous Earth has a negative charge. This allows it to act as an effective detoxifier since heavy metals, drug residues, and other pollutants, including radioactive ions, have a positive charge. The diatomaceous earth will attract those positively-charged toxic molecules like a magnet and allow them to be removed by the body efficiently through the colon.
Kills fleas, ticks and worms by physical action, making it an effective parasite control both externally and internally and a natural alternative to chemical products.
Helps remove drug residue for those animals that have been on medications for years.
Helps remove heavy metals left in the body from vaccinations.
Silica is absorbed into the blood stream leading to healthier skin, coat, nails, teeth and joints. It also helps to destroy bad fats helping to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
Promotes regular bowel movements leading to a healthier colon. A clean healthy colon keeps away polyps, cancers, and ulcers.
Helps promote increased overall health and energy. This is most likely a result of all the food and nutrients that are being better absorbed into the blood stream due to a cleaner and more efficient digestive tract.
100% food grade, fresh water quality diatomaceous earth powder.
Available in a 75 gram container.
Suggested Use for General Wellness:
1/4 tsp per 15 lbs daily. Mix with small amount of food or yogurt last thing in the evening before bed or first thing in the morning before breakfast for best results.
Intensive Use for Detox or Internal Parasite Control:
Work up to the following doses slowly. Continue for a minimum of 60 days. If fecal counts are not zero for worms and ova after feeding DE for 30 days, increase the daily dose. Feeding too small a dose of DE will not give desired results.
Kittens - 1/2 teaspoon
Cats - 1 teaspoon
Puppies - 1/2 to 1 tsp.
Dogs under 35 lbs. - 1 teaspoon
Dogs over 35 lbs. - 1 tablespoon
Dogs over 100 lbs. - 2 tablespoons
Caution: Can be an eye and lung irritant. Avoid breathing in dust. Not intended for human consumption. May cause cleansing/detox to occur resulting in soft stool or digestive upset. If this occurs reduce amount and slowly work up to desired dosage.

From Friendship To Romance
I don't want to discuss that... the futility of the struggle to get out of it (I don't believe it is a futile effort), or that "Men always.... Women always...." etc. etc. etc.
Instead, I'd like to know how does one suggest to a friend the desire to turn it into a romance as well? What works?
Of course we could just ask the other party, right? But let's be realistic... that's not what we'd really like to do. First, we're scared of losing the good friendship. Second, do we really believe that the other will be inspired to think romantically about us if we say, "I've been thinking about our friendship lately, and I really think we ought to give dating a shot. What do you think?"
So, dear Sirs, how should a female friend, who would like to inspire you to think romantically about her, behave? What behaviors, attitudes, actions, and words might change your perception of her so that you would desire to pursue her in a romantic sense?
So, gentle Ladies, how might a male friend who has been entertaining romantic notions about you suggest to you that dating him might be a good idea? What ways could he woo you from seeing him as a denizen of The Friend Zone and more of a romantic hero?
