Home > Wellness > Health Library > Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
Enzymes help a person who has cystic fibrosis digest food by replacing digestive enzymes that are normally released by the pancreas. Pancrelipase is available in tablet, powder, or capsule form.
These enzymes are used by people who have cystic fibrosis whose pancreatic ducts are blocked. The blockage prevents digestive enzymes that are made by the pancreas from reaching the intestines, where they are needed for digestion.
Enzyme supplements can replace natural enzymes so that fat and proteins can be absorbed properly, which improves nutrition and reduces fatty stools.
People with cystic fibrosis who receive enzyme replacement therapy can eat the same foods as anyone else.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects with high doses of this medicine include:
If you use the powder form of this medicine, do not breathe in the powder. You could have side effects such as stuffy nose, shortness of breath, or trouble breathing.
If you take the tablet form of this medicine, swallow it right away. It can irritate your mouth if you hold the tablet in your mouth.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
Follow the eating plan your doctor gave you. This can help the medicine work properly and can help prevent indigestion.
Drink plenty of water while you are using this medicine.
One brand or dose form (tablet, capsule, liquid) may work better for you than another. Don't switch products before talking to your doctor first.
Enzymes may not work as well if you have too much acid in your stomach. Your doctor may suggest that you take another medicine to stop the stomach from making too much acid. Do not use antacids that contain calcium carbonate and/or magnesium hydroxate. They may not let the pancrelipase work properly.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Capping deductions even at $50,000 is more regressive then increasing rates for the highest two tax rates. It would spread increases below the $250,000 per year marginal tax rate increases. It also wouldn't significantly touch most of the very rich who would still make most of their money off of capital gains. (Often what is called capital-gains is really smart accounting so that salary looks like capital gains e.g. for people in the finance and fund business). The reasons the GOP wants the deduction cap rather than a (marginal) top-rate increase is that they want to spread the impact of reducing the deficit around as low in the income stream as possible. If the cap is set to something lower like $25,000 it would be a punch in the guts to the upper-middle classes in places where property values are high and a higher percent of income is tied up in the home. Coincidentally, those places tend to be "bluer" than low property-value regions.
The mortgage interest deduction that should be eliminated is the one on 2nd (vacation) homes. That one is a giveaway to the quite rich.
While it's true that there are a few households that make below $250,000 and take more than $50,000 in deductions, there aren't many. Furthermore, someone with an income of $250,000 is still very rich. In fact, an income of just half that would still put you in the top 10%. Even if we agree that this represents a disadvantage to capping deductions, the efficiency gains from simplifying the tax code more than make up for that.
You claim that capping deductions is flawed in that it wouldn't impact those who make most of their money through capital gains, but the same is true of raising marginal rates.
A propensity to save stimulates the economy, which is why I'd rather have rates and not saveings deductions. Clinton had a surplus/savings in the government sector in the 1990's. The Chineese now have net savings as they purchase our T-Bills. A green federal excise carobon tax would easily spread the tax rate hikes to the middle class.
A green federal excise carobon tax would easily spread the tax rate hikes to the middle class.

This is probably the best bowwave video to date. And it will be the last for awhile I'm taking a break. The first part of the video shows the new water cannon on the 7 ft. sub.
The Nautilus is offshore Mysterious Island and is seen in ramming posture to sink an oncoming ship. A giant predatory seabird crosses in front of the Nautilus and the Nautilus than frightens several of these giant beasts while on a ramming mission.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I love the color scheme and texture.
Very quick delivery and love the styles that were offered.
Exactly what I wanted
This is exactly what I had in mind before I even looked at the site. The design is great and works well with my invitations that I also got from Magnet Street. The quality is great and they seem very durable. I was able to customize the program and when I put in a custom request, it was completed really fast. The program turned out perfect and I'm so excited.
Excellent quality and the product looks and feels first class
Great range of choice in every detail: style, font, colour, layout.
The options are easy to navigate and the their customer support is excellent (I needed to make a light change and it was done without any problem.
Very Easy, Very Cute!
Was a great experience, the personalization program was easy to use and extremely fast turnaround time. Would recommend to others!
Perfect Colors
These gift tags we customized for bridal shower gift tags. My wedding colors are coral and navy and the colors were a perfect match! I loved that there was a design on the back of the tag too instead of plain white backings!

My name is Alex and I am a student at Oregon State University. I am passionate about programing and finding out how computers and systems work. I love to learn, and i love math. I program every chance i get and try to learn how to do things more efficiently all the time. I have been working on a very basic video game for about a year now which is very fun.
I am not only interested in computer programing, however, I also am an bibliophile (book lover), and an autodidact. I am also very intrigued with creativity, for instance i am enamored with beautiful poetry, and great art, and i would contend that web design to be apart of that category, as well as great code.
my strongest programing languages are: PHP, AS3, C++, C, CSS, HTML (if you consider this to be a programing language. I use the term a bit loosely), javascript, java, and python.
I am better at some of these languages than others, but by no means do i consider my self to be great at any. I still have a lot to learn.
and that is a little information on who i am.

Long-time nickname of the Long Island town of Massapequa. It is often known for its large population of Italians and Jews. Guido teens speed down the tree-lined streets in their Infiniti's. Many of the kids are considered "half and half," having an Italian-Catholic father and Jewish mother. Pretty much Italians and Jews living in harmony.

Give these to my outdoor rescue cat who has FIV. So far they have kept him from getting outbreaks. Just one a day, and he's happy and healthy. And he loves them! Just wish they didn't contain canola oil and soy lecithin.

I have 2 cats that need these and one likes them and one doesn't. It's an easy alternative if they will eat them. If not, they can be crushed into the food.

Terrific value for full frame when Nikon 14-24 is out of your budget...
To be honest none really..
If you have recently move to digital full frame ( Nikon d610 in my case), it won"t be long before you want to take advantage of the extra wide angle capability over cropped sensors.
If like me you can't really justify the 14-24, this has prove to be a worthy substitute. I find it sharp well balanced on the camera with good colour rendition. It stacks up well with the more expensive f2.8's I have for image quality.
I would definitely recommend this lens to anyone - I won't be letting this one go..total bargain in my opinion.

FX-coverage, price, image quality
Flare, filters
I've had this lens since my Nikon F5 days. It went on the shelf when I went to the D100-D200, as I had the Nikon 12-24mm. But when I went to the D700 I retrieved it, and considering it cost even today, 1/4 of the cost of the Nikon 14-24mm, it is a winner. I can live with the loss of 1mm on the wide end for the price. Image quality is very good to excellent, but you do have to watch for flare from the sun or bright lights, although that can also sometime be an element of the image. I wish I could protect the front element with a filter, but to date I have been able to keep the lens undamaged by exercising care. All in all, it is an excellent substitute for the Nikon 14-24mm, especially at the cost point.

Very, very wide. Looks awesome. Very sharp in the centre when stopped down.
Not great on full-frame. 15mm setting gets old quickly. Doesn't stand out at narrower focal lengths.
I bought one of these to go on a Kodak DCS 460 (which has a 1.3x sensor crop), but I've also used it on a Nikon D1x, which has a 1.5x sensor crop, and a full-frame Canon 5D, with a Nikon-EOS adapter.
On a physical level it is very impressive. It looks wonderfully imposing and the front element resembles a glistening glowing robot eye. The build quality seems very good, and although it is bulky the lens is not heavy or a pain to carry. The matte finish attracts dings and scrapes.
On a full-frame body I tended to use it at f/8 and f/11, in which case it is very sharp in the centre of the frame, but stretched and blurry around the edges and in the corners. With clever framing and a little bit of cropping this isn't so bad, and the extreme wide angle effect is striking. It has a large "wow" factor that impresses people, although it is not the kind of lens you would use for a client who demands images that are sharp from corner to corner. The 15mm setting is tricky to compose for , and if you point the lens up or down even a little bit, the perspective effect goes beyond striking into the realm of the grotesque. I very rarely used the lens at focal lengths other than 15mm (I have other lenses for that - lenses that have filter threads). Geometric distortion was surprisingly well-controlled. My copy seemed to be blurrier towards the right of the image than it was towards the left. The aperture ring was a bit of a pain to use, because it's small and tucked away in between the camera body and the zoom ring.
On a full frame body there is no way to use a polarising filter unless the filter is a foot in diameter, and it would be extremely hard to use a graduated neutral density filter. There is a filter slot at the rear of the lens, and I experimented by putting coloured bits of plastic in this, but I was always worried that the filter would fall out and ruin the shutter curtains, so I gave up on it. On an APS-C D1x I had some success holding a neutral density filter against the lens hood, although I had to angle it slightly to prevent it reflecting the things that were behind me. Even if you had a foot-wide polarising filter you would run into problems with reflections on the glass.
The lens has a reputation for "Sigma yellow", and I can attest to this. That images that I took with this lens tended to have a mild yellow cast; my fingers became yellow, skies tended to look a bit duskier. It's not awful and you can correct it.
On a D1x or DCS 460 the lens makes more sense, because the offending corners and edges are cropped out. The problem is that, since the 15-30mm was released, there has been a wave of designed-for-digital APS-C ultrawide lenses that are much smaller and allow for the easy use of a front filter. On a D1x the supplied filter holder produced vignetting at 15mm, and although this went away when I zoomed in, I didn't buy a lens with a 15mm wide angle setting so that I could use it at 20mm. I bought it so that I could use it at 15mm.
Flare control is very poor. If you point it towards or just away from the moon or the sun or a street light you will either have a big blob of flare, or the image contrast will vanish.
If you're in a situation where you need a wide angle lens to fit on both a full-frame and a cropped sensor camera (e.g. perhaps you have a digital SLR, but you also like to shoot film with your Nikon N90 every so often), this is one of a very few choices. Indeed it is one of a very few full frame lenses that goes wider than 16mm. In my opinion, if you have an APS-C camera, you would be better off with a dedicated APS-C wide lens; if you have a full frame camera there isn't anything that will go this wide for less than £900 short of using a fisheye lens and software correction. For the novelty alone it intrigues you.
As far as I know it was discontinued by Sigma in favour of the newer 12-24mm, which is the widest full-frame zoom lens ever made, and one of the widest lenses of any kind ever made. Based on the samples I have seen the 12-24mm is less sharp than the 15-30mm in the centre of the frame, and it has all of the 15-30mm's practical problems, but its geometric correction is excellent and it is unique.

versatile wide angle, alright IQ, great build
awkward filter system, no HSM
I had this lens on a Sony / Minolta system I was using awhile ago. While not stellar, it was a very good wide angle lens. It required stopping down to /5.6 and beyond to get a reasonably sharp image but was otherwise quite fine for the price.
The only real drawback was the awkward filter system - a 82mm glass could be mounted on a front cap adapter, and this caused vignetting on a KonicaMinolta D7D (1.5x FOV crop). It wasn't a HSM lens - not even the Canon / Nikon versions of this Sigma have this - so the AF was a bit slow at times. But again, I got what I paid for.

Wide angle on aps sensor, sharp
Flare and ghoting, distortion
This lens works fine on a digital body.
Sharpness is overall good, but is better to stop down a little(at least 1 stop).
Distortion is visible in most situations, but easy correctable with software.
The major drawback is flare and ghosting with evrery light source.

Reasonable image quality, and useful range
Quite big and a bit heavy
Not a bad lens. Not the sharpest, but not bad even on full frame. About an inch longer than the 12-24 so a bit bulky. I would be careful to only use it stopped down two to three stops. Better to increase the ISO (within reason) than use it wide open.

good build quality. Quite sharp. Not very expensive for its range. Works on a full frame SLR
Distortion at 15 mm. Best sharpness when over f.8
Good wideangle zoom, one of the few suitable both for full frame and digital SLR. You could find it not so sharp wide open, but super wide zooms are a tricky affair for lens makers, and you cannot expect from them the same results you get from good tele zoom or fixed focals...If you want something more, go to the Sigma 12-24, that is certainly a better performer.

Build quality, image quality, affordability
no front threads
This lens is a good performer on both 35mm film and digital SLR's, as well as APS-C DSLR's. Image quality isn't the best if you're looking for a landscape lens to print 20x30" prints with and inspect the corners with a magnifying glass, (you get the point) ...but for what it was designed for, (journalism, events etc.) it does it's job amazingly well and at a decent price.
One tip is, there exists (I forget which make) a slip-on lens hood that converts this scalloped hood so that it has 82mm front threads, which you can use on an APS-C DSLR but not FF. So your'e not completely out of luck if you have a 30D or a D200 and want to use a circular polarizer- You just have to buy the expensive 82mm ones, and hunt down that adapter... Good luck!

angle of view, FF
size, slow
The Sigma 15-30 is one of my favorite lenses for wide angle work. The lens is a bit big, but not heavy at all, and offers sweeping rectilinear views that are beautiful for both film and DSLR users.
On a film camera the lens acts as an ultra-wide to moderate wide angle lens. The lens is a bit on the slow side, but images are sharp, and distortion is minimal. The lens can be used in manual focus or auto focus, with the focus ring being disengaged manually for the latter. The focusing is internal, but not all that speedy. Fortunately it hits infinity at less then 10 feet, and with its large DOF, the slow focusing speed is not all that important in general photography work. The zoom ring is smooth and the front element sides back and forth in the integral pedal-shaped lens hood. Flare can be a problem is if the lens is zoomed way out and the sun is in the frame.
The front element is a hemisphere and precludes the use of front-mounted filters. There is a small holder in the back of the lens that small gel filters can be slid into, but the use of standard polarizers is precluded.
The lens cap of the Sigma is in two parts, the first is a ring that fits over the pedals, and the second is an 88mm standard cap. When using the lens on a standard camera (35mm sensor/film plane) both parts of the cap must be removed to avoid light fall off. If the camera is used on a 1.5x or more DSLR, then the ring can remain on the lens without any problem. The lens has an angle of view with a 1.5x factor of about 22 to 45mm which isn't too bad for most applications.
The large diameter of the lens does have its drawback with my D100. The built in flash is shaded at all but the longest focal lengths, requiring a shoe or external flash mounting to shoot at wider angles.
As to be expected with a lens with this focal range, the depth of field is considerable, and keeping foreground and background elements in sharp focus is relatively simple, even when the lens isn't stopped down too much.
Included with the lens are a padded case with shoulder strap (very nice case), as well as front and rear lens caps, and a small template for cutting filters (easily lost).
A great lens for wide angle work, especially for DSLR's, and while more expensive then a lot of other more standard lenses, is very competitive for its class.

build quality, wide zoom range, great color
heavy, slow AF
This is a great lens that puts out punchy color and contrast. It is, however, heavy (for its relatively slow apertures) and AF is slow. It is also kind clumsy to switch from AF to MF (on the Canon model) since it requires two steps.

build quality
flare at the slightest hint of the sun, very large
Bought mine to go with a D100 before the 12-24 and 10-20's were available.
To be honest I should have waited !
Image qulaity was OK, but it flared at the slightest hint of the sun.
It is very large with its integral hood and quirky cap.
Wasn't all that keen on the push pull AF/MF selector which needs too much effort for camera to the eye changes.
The bulbous front element is an optical curiosity and no doubt the cause of the flare problems.
Did feel like it was built to last.
Traded mine in for the Nikon 12-24 !

superwide non-fisheye
poor edges on full-frame
I got this to go wide on a Canon 20d. It does a pretty nice job on that camera.
After upgrading to a Canon 5d, when I saw the edges that the 20d had been cropping out, I concluded this lens is not good enough for full-frame use. Chromatic aberration toward the edges is severe. Too many expensive 5d pixels would go to waste.

Light weight, optically sharp, useful for both digital and film bodies
flares, vignetting with filters, big (physically)
The latest rage in ultra wide-angle zooms is currently for the DX-type of lenses, i.e., those specific for digital SLRs, especially in the 12-24mm range.
When I bought this lens, at the end of October 2002, DX wide-angles hadn't saturated the market (note too that the Street price of this lens is now around $500). But I haven't regretted buying this lens at all, mainly because it is very usable on both my digital and film cameras. In fact, I think it really shines on the 35mm film camera. The wide angle at 15mm is mighty wide with only a tinge of corner fall-off. One has to make sure that the tripod legs aren't in the photo!
I couldn't quite go with e "10" rating on this lens because it is just shy of the level of "perfection" I've experienced with some other lenses. The optics are, for the most part, very fine, but they are susceptible to lens flares, especially when pointed in the direction of sun, even with the sun outside the image. The front element on this lens bulges out a fair bit (about 3/8 inch) and the internal optics are such that they are quick to produce flares.
There are three rings on this lens. From camera body outward, these are: aperture ring, zoom ring and focus ring, I don't use the aperture ring much since I set the aperture through the camera. The zoom ring is a little more than 1/2 inch wide, and requires about 45 degrees of turn to zoom from 15 to 30mm. Smooth in operation, and, as it's operated, the front element retracts into the built-in hood. The focus ring is about 7/8 inch wide, with smooth operation as well, and features internal focusing elements. The focus ring slides fore and aft, setting it for manual mode or AF mode.
I gave the build quality an 8 because it lacks a rock-solid feel. Its a tight lens, faithful and predictable, but the all-metal casing just feels light and not very substantial. But on the positive side, although about the same physical size (length and diameter) as a Nikon 28-70 f/2.8, it is considerably lighter. This lens is easy to carry to the edge of a canyon, in order to capture that sweeping view in one shot.
The lens cap is made of two pieces: a ring that fits snugly around the diameter of the petal hood (providing 82mm filter threads) and a "pinch-cover" typical of many of Sigma's lneses. Since I do not own any 82mm filters, I usually just take the who two-piece combo off when shooting. On other web sites, you'll sometimes hear the complaint that the filters cause some vignetting at 15mm folcal lengths. In my experience, I can't verify that assertion.
Given the going price, and the optical features of this lens (f/3.5-f/4.5), it is a terrific buy. The 12-24's run $710 and $900 for the Sigma and Nikons versions, respectively. Are those bottom-end 3mm really worth $210-400 more? For some it might. For those on a budget, don't overlook this lens—its certainly worthy of consideration.

Loc: Alaska He fell over a skate, hit his shank.
In a couple of days, how it stank!
Suddenly, with pain sharp
He acquired a harp.
Now he sings with the angels: how swank.
I agree with the Rhub: if you write one, post it. Who cares if you're not in with it first?

Loc: Alaska Llama, llama, willow ptarmigan.
Blasted snow covered up my farmagain.
I love living in Alaska,
'Cept in wintertime disaska.
Let ME explain: The willow ptarmigan is Alaska's state bird, and all the lovely snow we got in the last two days is going to get rained on tomorrow, then it'll freeze, then rain again. If I didn't love it here, I'd probably hate it.
Sure thing, jj, go ahead. I don't mind!

Spiking gas prices should not affect Mammoth's summer tourism as much as many might think, says Mammoth's Tourism Director, John Urdi.
"It's not a deal breaker," he said.
Average retail gasoline prices in California rose 17.5 cents a gallon in one week, averaging $3.72 on Monday, Feb. 28, according to gasoline price website CaliforniaGasPrices.com.
In Mammoth, Lee Vining and Bridgeport, gas prices were well above $4 a gallon and still rising. On Thursday in Mammoth Chevron's regular was at $4.39 a gallon.
Unrest in the Middle East is the prime contributor to the price spikes, the web site said.
Still, Urdi said he is unfazed, so far.
"We're unique because of a lot of things," Urdi said.
"One of them is the loyalty of the Southern California market. Many people may decide to drive up anyway. An extra $40 is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of things.
"We're in a location, too, where there are a lot of no-cost things to do, like hiking, cycling, mountain biking and fishing.
"It's not like going to Disneyland where it costs you $100 just to get in the door."
Urdi said the pinch might be felt in discretionary spending such as restaurants and retail.
Danna Stroud, formerly the town's tourism and recreation director, echoed for Urdi's prediction.
Stroud was here in 2008, when gas prices breached the $4 mark between spring and summer.
"I would say we had a decent summer," she said.
"Air fares really went up, and those long-haul vacations disappeared, so people came back to Mammoth. Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra rode it out pretty well."
One of the noticeable effects of the 2008 gas spike was that local businesses offered many different forms of value packages to attract visitors. In Mammoth, Chevron will give back 10 cents for every gallon purchased on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
A lodging business might offer to pay for a fill-up of gas in exchange for a three-night rental.
Or a restaurant might offer a two-for-one deal – that kind of thing.
"We saw a lot of packaged deals in 2008," she said.
Where the current spike is headed is unknown, but the current prices are prodigious.
Nationally, the average price for gasoline increased 17 cents a gallon in the last week to $3.34 a gallon, according to CaliforniaGasPrices.com.
In California, prices by last Monday were 75.6 cents a gallon higher than the same day one year ago, and were 38.5 cents a gallon higher than a month ago.
In Mammoth, the price of regular gas was at $4.17.
Nationally, the average increased 25.3 cents a gallon during the last month and is 64.9 cents a gallon higher than a year ago.

Five Dangerous Super Bowl Party Foods for Your Pet
Your slideshow will start shortly.
Avoiding Super Bowl Sunday Disaster
Super Bowl Sunday is a great excuse to get together with friends and family and pig out while watching football. Unfortunately, many of those same party foods can be dangerous for your pet. Here are five things you should keep far, far away from your cat or dog on Super Bowl Sunday.
1. Alcohol
Having a frosty one with your friends is quite alright (if you're of legal drinking age, that is). Allowing your pet to partake of the beer is quite another. Consumption of as little as a few ounces of beer or other alcoholic beverages can result in ethanol poisoning in dogs and cats. Signs of poisoning include involuntary urinating, hypothermia, slowed breathing, and even heart attacks.
2. Chicken Wings
Despite being an enshrined staple of football parties, chicken wings may prove problematic if your pet should stealthily grab one (or two!). In fact, the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) recently warned pet owners not to feed their pets chicken wings due to the risk of intestinal obstruction — or worse. Another often overlooked risk of chicken wings is salt. "One buffalo wing has almost 160 to 200 mg of sodium," said Dr. Ernie Ward, founder and president of APOP. "That's about the amount of sodium recommended for a 20-pound dog in a day. Feeding a dog too much salt can cause high blood pressure and can contribute to kidney and heart disease."
3. Chocolate
Though it comes in many shapes and sizes, one thing rings true for all forms of chocolate — it can be poisonous to your dog or cat. The compound in chocolate that is of major concern is theobromine, which is most concentrated in dark chocolate and unsweetened baking chocolate — the kind of chocolates found in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, in other words. Chocolate poisoning can cause heart arrhythmias, muscle tremors, and seizures.
4. Soda
Americans will spend over $2 million on sodas and other soft drinks during Super Bowl weekend, according to Shape.com. That is a lot of soda and a lot of caffeine, which isn't so great if your furry friend should get to any of it. Caffeinated drinks (and foods) can cause your dog or cat to suffer from restlessness, breathing issues, heart palpitations, and muscle tremors.
5. Guacamole
Your tortilla chips just wouldn't be the same without some guacamole piled atop them. Sadly, this creamy dip's recipe calls for three ingredients that are dangerous to dogs and cats: avocado, garlic, and onion. When consumed in sufficient quantity, onions and garlic can cause gastrointestinal issues, elevated heart rate, and red blood cell damage. Avocado toxicity, meanwhile, can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of stool production.

For years, natural health vets and pet sources tout the importance of Garlic to use for Tick and Flea retarding. But here you are saying it is toxic. UGH!!!!
Hi Putzangel,
While you may be correct that some pet health experts tout the benefits of garlic for fleas control, we simply wanted to inform unsuspecting pet owners of the possible toxicity of garlic (and onions,avocado) when consumed in sufficient quantities (as it states in the slideshow).
You can read more about garlic toxicity on Pet Poison Helpline's website:
petMD Editorial -
This is another slideshow that won't advance for me. (Most of them do, but occasionally there is one that doesn't and this one of them). I'm sure I;'m not the only one with this problem. If the article were printed in typical paragraph form, like a regular news article or anything else basic to get information distributed, it would be so much better than trying to be fancy and inadvertently excluding some readers. Waiting for the slideshow to load each new page when it does work is also more time consuming than some people prefer.
Keep it simple to serve your audience better.
Thank you.

Girly Quotes, Sayings for girls
I'm the type of girl that puts on her better smile, her better outfit, and better attitude and shows him what he left behind.
Girls will be girls! We laugh at the dumbest jokes, go along with the craziest ideas, and still manage to have the best times.
Girls who don't ask for much, deserve it all.
You can't compare me to the next girl. Because there is no competition. I'm one of a kind, and that's real.
When a girl cries, it's not usually over one thing. It's built up anger and emotions that she's been holding in for too long.
Dear Girls,
Dressing immodestly is like rolling around in manure. Yes you'll get attention, but mostly from pigs.
Real Men
I'm not a perfect girl. My hair doesn't always stay in place and I spill things a lot. I'm pretty clumsy and sometimes I have a broken heart. My friends and I sometimes fight and some days nothing goes right. But when I think about it and take a step back I remember how amazing life truly is and that maybe. Just maybe. I like being imperfect!
Make a girl happy. That's the most amazing feeling she can ever experience.
No girl should ever forget that she doesn't need anyone who doesn't need her.
– Marilyn Monroe
I am a girl. I don't smoke, drink or party every weekend. I don't sleep around or start a drama to get attention. Yes, we do still exist.
When a girl tells you about her problems, it does not mean that she's complaining, it means she trusts you.
When guys get jealous it can be kinda cute. When girls get jealous World War III is about to start.
I'm the type of girl that puts on her better smile, her better outfit, and better attitude and shows him what he left behind.
When a woman stops stressing, Stops getting jealous, & starting saying, "Nah I'm Not Mad, It's Cool" Stops arguing about small stuff, Stops worrying about you & Stops blowing up your phone….*JUST KNOW THAT THE LAST TEAR HAS DROPPED & SHE NO LONGER CARES!*
Whatever boys can do girls can do better.
A girl needs a hand to hold in every problem and that hand should be her boyfriend cos he could make her laugh when she's sad or any thing like that.
You know a gal or a woman is a person so damn weird at times, you will never understand them, where they are loved they don't love, where they are not loved they love.
That's why like the so called swagger, money, celebrities, men with expensive cars, they fall for such things and call it love. The next day they have the audacity to tell the world that someone disappointed them, broke their heart and so forth, oh please ladies, just know that a guy's expensive car, clothes, his looks, they he walks etc will never love you.
Do yourself a favor, know whats best for you, respect yourself, love yourself, you are so special, make your own money, buy your own car, have your dreams, be yourself and live your life independently. You can do it.
Who is a girl???
A girl is the most beautiful part of God's creation.
She starts compromising at a very tender age.
She sacrifices her chocolates for her brother.
Later she sacrifices her love for just a smile on her parents face.
She sacrifices her comfort and desires for her in- laws.
She sacrifices her full youth for her husband and children without complain.
And finally her life ends up only by compromising for others happiness.
She is that creature of God who no one can compete.
Respect every girl/lady in your life.
You will never know what she has sacrificed for you.
Smart girls open their mind, easy girls open their legs, and foolish girls open their heart.
Don't search for a man that will solve all your problems, he won't. Find one that won't let you face them alone.
Dear Girl, don't worry if you're still single. God is looking at you right now saying,"I'm saving this girl for someone special."
