Cape Ann Botanicals Bringing Hemp The Pink House Getting Some Love<br />
Products to Newburyport<br />

REGIONAL – Spencer Kalker,<br />
who opened Cape Ann Botanicals<br />
in Ipswich last summer, is so<br />
pleased with how the North Shore<br />
community has embraced his<br />
shop, which sells hemp-derived<br />
products, he is opening a second<br />
store in Newburyport.<br />
“We are lucky to have a<br />
community that is open to us,”<br />
Kalker said. That community<br />
includes a number of customers<br />
from the greater Newburyport<br />
area.<br />
Kalker, who is working with the<br />
city to secure a building permit,<br />
expects the shop to open in a few<br />
weeks.<br />
On Pleasant Street across<br />
from the Unitarian Universalist<br />
Church, it will sell almost 100<br />
varieties of hemp-derived creams,<br />
oils, edibles and vapes.<br />
More importantly, Cape Ann<br />
Botanicals is a center for education<br />
and information. Its experienced<br />
staff and medical personnel dish<br />
out remedies for ailments from pain and sleeplessness to epilepsy and anxiety. Some of<br />
the creams Cape Ann sells are designed to help improve skin.<br />
Carla Villa, manager of the Ipswich shop, said, “We are trying to change the culture.<br />
There is 100 years of stigma to overcome.”<br />
Cape Ann Botanicals is not a “pot shop,” Kalker said.<br />
None of the products sold at Cape Ann Botanicals will get you addicted or high. Its<br />
products have less than .03 percent per deciliter of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the<br />
psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.<br />
Cape Ann Botanicals is not the only shop that has begun selling hemp-derived products<br />
in Newburyport. Other shops sell the products, including the Natural Dog near the Rte.<br />
1 Rotary, which has had a run on a hemp-based honey, suitable for dogs and people.<br />
And two doors from the new Cape Ann Botanicals shop on Pleasant Street, BC<br />
Essentials has added a hemp-based oil to its variety of stress-relieving products.<br />
When the Cape Ann Botanicals shop at 8 Central St. in Ipswich opened in June, the<br />
staff expected most of the customers would be older people in pain and others who need<br />
help sleeping.<br />
Kalker and his team have made presentations at the Ipswich senior center and plan<br />
to expand the outreach to seniors when it opens in Newburyport.<br />

Plum Island Property Management painters at the Pink House<br />
NEWBURY – If you drove passed the Pink House on Plum Island Turnpike<br />
recently and saw painters working on the iconic house, it would be easy to get<br />
excited that work was finally being done on the mysterious and popular structure.<br />
But don’t get too excited. The whole house is not being repainted, as much as<br />
it needs it. And no permanent solution has been found -- yet. A citizens group,<br />
Support the Pink House (STPH), is working, along with a host of government<br />
officials and non-profit organizations, to find one.<br />
“No, we are not allowed to paint the whole house,” wrote STPH Chair Rochelle<br />
Joseph in her blog at SupportthePinkHouse.com. “It is federally owned and not<br />
ours to do.”<br />
The Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which bought the Pink House in<br />
20<strong>11</strong>, agreed to the request from the Support the Pink House citizens group to<br />
winterize it, including painting the porch skirting and door and window frames.<br />
“The Pink House is getting some love today, thanks to the OK by the Refuge<br />
to Support The Pink House’s requests,” Joseph wrote. “MANY thanks go to Bill<br />
Peterson, Refuge Manager, STPH Board Advisor Bill Barrett and his crew from Plum<br />
Island Property Management for doing the work, and to STPH Board Advisor Greg<br />
Jardis and his company Amesbury Industrial Supply for donating the paint!!”<br />
The Pink House, built in 1922, appears more often in photographs and on<br />
canvas than almost any other structure in New England. It had a small part last<br />
spring in a television commercial by the New England Honda Dealers, and the Trip<br />
Advisor web site just added the Pink House as a Place of Interest. Visit: http://bit.<br />

Anna Jaques Hospital Receives Two Prestigious<br />
Awards for Birth Center Efforts<br />
The Town Common Courtesy Photo<br />
Alison Sekelsky, MSN, RNC, Director of Maternal Child Health;<br />
Tasha Gunnarsson, RN, IBCLC; and Hannah Pawlendzio, RN,<br />
IBCLC, welcomed Baby Friendly-USA surveyors.<br />
NEWBURYPORT - Baby-Friendly USA, a credentialing<br />
program for hospitals that is part of an international<br />
initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO)<br />
and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF),<br />
announced that Anna Jaques Hospital has received the<br />
prestigious international recognition as a Designated Baby-<br />
Friendly birth facility. The initiative recognizes hospitals<br />
and birthing centers that offer an optimal level of care for<br />
families.<br />
Based on the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, this<br />
international award recognizes birth facilities that offer<br />
families the education, skills, and support needed to get off<br />
to the healthiest start and also to successfully initiate and<br />
continue breastfeeding their babies.<br />
Anna Jaques Hospital is one of only 14 hospitals in<br />
Massachusetts and the first on the North Shore who has<br />
successfully accomplished the honor of earning the Baby-<br />
Friendly designation.<br />
During the final assessment which was a rigorous<br />
two-day survey, there were no deficiencies cited under<br />
the Baby-Friendly model. Baby-Friendly surveyors<br />
shared that Anna Jaques, “promotes an extraordinary<br />
dedication to community health, wellness and passion to<br />
serve all mothers and infants. Staff exhibits a respectful<br />
and enthusiastic collaboration with community and<br />
state agencies to promote evidence-based prenatal and<br />
postpartum education and follow-up support for all<br />
mothers and infants.”<br />
In 2013, Anna Jaques began a rigorous evaluation of<br />
internal policies and procedures on the path to become<br />
a Baby Friendly-designated hospital. A multidisciplinary<br />
team of nurses, midwives, lactation consultants, obstetricians, pediatricians and community members implemented changes<br />
to foster compliance with the best practices for mothers and babies in the prenatal, delivery, and postpartum hospital stay.<br />
These include:<br />
•<br />
•<br />
•<br />
•<br />
Educating mothers prenatally on infant feeding and their hospital stay;<br />
Encouraging skin-to-skin time immediately following delivery through the first feeding for both vaginal and cesarean<br />
deliveries;<br />
Initiating breastfeeding within the first hour of birth;<br />
Encouraging rooming in (mother and baby staying together 24/7) by ensuring hospital procedures do not routinely<br />
separate mother and baby;<br />
• Discouraging pacifier use until the mother’s milk supply is well established<br />
except for medical indications;<br />
• Offering the option of human donor breast milk for babies requiring<br />
supplementation.<br />
Clinicians received updated training to fully ensure the multifaceted care plan is<br />
effectively followed throughout the entire pregnancy and hospital stay.<br />
This initiative was championed by Alison Sekelsky, MSN, RNC, Director of<br />
Maternal Child Health, and the Lactation Consultant team at Anna Jaques: Tasha<br />
Gunnarsson, RN, IBCLC; Hannah Pawlendzio, RN, IBCLC; and Judy Fayre,<br />
RN, IBCLC.<br />
Anna Jaques is also a recent recipient of the 20<strong>18</strong> Breastfeeding Achievement<br />
Award from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Anna Jaques is one<br />
of 14 birth hospitals that were recognized for implementing “Quiet Hours” within<br />
maternity units to allow mothers and newborns to rest, bond, practice skin-toskin,<br />
and support feeding on demand, and breastfeeding.<br />
“These recognitions exemplify our focus on fostering the most supportive<br />
environment possible for each family, while providing them with exceptional care<br />
and a personalized experience that honors their individual needs,” shares Alison<br />
Sekelsky, MSN, RNC, Director of Maternal Child Health.<br />

CORRECTIONS<br />
In the November 7th article "Powerlifting to Defeat<br />
Addiction" The John Ashford Link House was spelled<br />
incorrectly. This is a long time organization with Houses<br />
in Newburyport Amesbury , Salisbury.<br />
Also in the recent Town Common article about trash collection<br />
in Newburyport, there is a statement that could<br />
cause confusion. It was stated that “residents currently<br />
pay a flat rate for trash collection as part of their water/<br />
sewer bills” which is not accurate. It would be more<br />
accurately stated that Trash is paid through taxes which<br />
go to the general fund. Thank you for the overall communications<br />
that the City of Newburyport is addressing<br />
managing its future waste streams - from Solid Waste<br />
to Recycling to Composting Organic Waste - in a very<br />
thoughtful manner given the dramatic changes at a global<br />
and national level.<br />
Our apologies for these errors.

Standing alone against the great<br />
marsh, the unoccupied house<br />
has captured the imagination<br />
of generations of residents and<br />
visitors. A STPH Facebook post<br />
about the repairs last week was<br />
shared close to 300 times!<br />
For an icon with so many<br />
fans, its future, however, is at<br />
present uncertain. Joseph and<br />
the Steering Committee have<br />
worked closely with the refuge<br />
since 2015, looking for a longterm<br />
solution for the Pink<br />
House.<br />
Newbury town officials, state<br />
Sens. Kathleen O’Connor Ives,<br />
D-Newburyport, Bruce Tarr,<br />
R-Gloucester, U.S. Rep. Seth<br />
Moulton, D-Salem, and both<br />
U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren<br />
and Ed Markey’s offices have<br />
responded to requests from<br />
the ever-widening community,<br />
joining with STPH to find an<br />
appropriate owner so the house<br />
can be fully revitalized.<br />
The challenge is that the<br />
refuge is part of the U.S. Fish &<br />
Wildlife Service, which in turn<br />
is part of the U.S. Department<br />
of the Interior. The Fish &<br />
Wildlife Service normally does<br />

“The seniors are very interested,”<br />
he said.<br />
But to the staff’s surprise, a<br />
number of their customers has<br />
been parents of teenagers looking<br />
for a non-addictive product to<br />
reduce anxieties. These products<br />
are a positive alternative to many<br />
of the drugs being prescribed,<br />
Kalker said.<br />
“You could say we are the antidrug<br />
shop,” he said.<br />
The Ipswich shop has also<br />
attracted doctors, who come<br />
looking for answers for their<br />
patients. “We reach out to local<br />
doctors,” Kalker said. “But they<br />
have also reached in to us.”<br />
The staff, led by Kalker’s brother<br />
Kurt, a 25-year licensed pediatric<br />
nurse, consults with customers’<br />
physicians to make sure the<br />
hemp-derived products do not<br />
react with prescriptions.<br />
Kurt regularly attends and is<br />
often invited as an expert speaker<br />
at conferences, including one<br />
at Harvard University Medical<br />
Center and two weeks ago at<br />
an international conference in<br />
California.<br />
The Newburyport shop,<br />
Spencer said, will look much<br />
like the Ipswich shop, which<br />

not preserve houses. Yet they<br />
have kept the Pink House<br />
standing to allow the time to<br />
explore solutions. They have<br />
complied with STPH’s requests<br />
to protect the house against the<br />
elements and animals, but do<br />
not have any reason to invest in<br />
further refurbishment.<br />
And the Interior Department<br />
is facing its own reduced budget,<br />
which adds to the situation.<br />
Because the house is owned<br />
by the federal government, local<br />
volunteers cannot repaint it,<br />
Joseph said.<br />
What STPH is working<br />
toward is a new owner, who can<br />
make a total external makeover<br />
with new (pink) siding, she<br />
said.<br />
Several times a year, STPH<br />
asks the refuge for repairs to<br />
keep the house secure through<br />
winter months and particularly<br />
during the Nor’Easters that hit<br />
Plum Island hard.<br />
Joseph wrote, “As part of her<br />
(the Pink House) pre-winter<br />
upkeep we asked that the skirt<br />
running around the front threequarters<br />
of the house (most of<br />
which is actually an external,<br />
but enclosed porch) be replaced<br />
Cape Ann Botanicals Bringing<br />
Hemp Products to Newburyport<br />
resembles a high-end beauty spa,<br />
where customers can explore the<br />
products and ask questions of the<br />
staff. Customers do not have need<br />
a $250 medical marijuana card,<br />
and there is no age restriction.<br />
Questions are free, but if more<br />
consultation is needed, Kurt offers<br />
a 20-minute information session<br />
for $29.99, an hour for $99 and<br />
a three-month therapy course for<br />
$299.<br />
Spencer, who describes himself<br />
as a “serial entrepreneur,” is also<br />
building two medical marijuana<br />
dispensaries, one in Ipswich and<br />
another in Rowley.<br />
Besides seeing a business<br />
opportunity, Spencer and Kurt<br />
have personal reasons for wanting<br />
to offer people hemp products.<br />
They lost their mother and oldest<br />
brother to cancer, and Spencer<br />
watched three friends suffer and<br />
die from cancer and diabetesrelated<br />
illnesses. Spencer himself<br />
injured a nerve in his right arm,<br />
which causes numbness. And Kurt<br />
had two motorcycle accidents and<br />
13 orthopedic surgeries, which<br />
left him in pain that synthetic<br />
pain killers do not relieve.<br />
Hemp-derived products help<br />
reduce both brothers’ pain, and<br />
they believe hemp could have<br />
helped their brother, mother and<br />
or repaired and painted.”<br />
The group asked and the<br />
refugee agreed that the front<br />
porch needed maintenance.<br />
“We hope this will spruce her up<br />
a little - and that big vine that<br />
in 2017 we requested be cut at<br />
the base (to die rather than rip it<br />
off her clapboard) is dry enough<br />
to come off without doing<br />
damage,” Joseph wrote.<br />

Pink House remains strong.<br />
There are no leaks from the roof,<br />

Even during the three<br />

of the basement.<br />

“The thing that frustrates me is<br />
that so many people have suffered<br />
all these years,” Spencer said last<br />
summer.<br />
Cannabis has been around for<br />
at least 5,000 years. It fell out of<br />
favor in the U.S. because hemp<br />
competed with paper made from<br />
trees. Since 1937, until recently,<br />
such products were illegal.<br />
Hemp ropes also competed<br />
with a new synthetic product,<br />
polyester.<br />
When the federal government<br />
began to tax and ban hemp<br />
products, doctors complained<br />
that it helped patients with pain.<br />
But then aspirin was invented,<br />
Spencer said.<br />
Today, it competes with some<br />
pharmaceuticals, particularly<br />
opioids.<br />
While the Kalker brothers<br />
readily concede that much more<br />
research needs to be done on<br />
hemp, Kurt said, “What I don’t see<br />
is why any doctor would prescribe<br />
opioids, which are killing people,<br />
instead of cannabis, which has<br />
never killed anyone.”<br />
Spencer said, “This product is a<br />
miracle worker.”<br />

He received a B.S. degree in<br />
physics from University of<br />
Massachusetts-Lowell, then the<br />
Lowell Technological Institute.<br />
Drafted that year of graduation,<br />
he became a military policeman<br />
in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri,<br />
and later in Landing Zone<br />
Bayonet, Vietnam with the<br />
Americal Division. A journal of<br />
his military experience became<br />
his book Obscenities, published<br />
in 1972 by the Yale University<br />
Press. This first collection was<br />
chosen by Stanley Kunitz for the<br />
Yale Series of Younger Poets. These<br />

There It Is in 2017. Casey is a<br />
master of using the dialect of<br />
ordinary people, the language of<br />
the street, in his poems. His verses<br />

oddities and absurdities of human<br />
life. The Amesbury Public Library,<br />

ROWLEY - 2nd Annual Friends of the Rowley Library Cookie Walk to be held Saturday December 8th, 2-4 PM, at the Rowley<br />
Public Library, 141 Main St. Rowley MA With Holiday Music performed Live by Pianist/vocalist Nancy Day. Cookie Bakers<br />
Needed! Sign up today (via email) for the 2nd annual Friends of the Library Cookie Walk that will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8th.<br />
All varieties and types of cookies are needed: sugar cookies, decorated cookies, etc - or bake your family favorite. Many cookies are<br />
needed to make the walk successful. Email Olivia MacDonald with any questions, olivialeonemacdonald@gmail.com. What is a<br />
Cookie Walk? While many have experienced a Christmas Cookie Walk, others may not be sure what it is and how it works. This<br />
is a fundraiser where we sell homemade cookies by the tin. We ask that our members and friends bake and donate batches of one<br />
of their favorite Christmas cookie (about 3 dozen) to donate for the walk. The day of the cookie walk, we line tables up with large<br />
platters of the donated cookies. Buyers choose a decorative tin and walk around the tables to choose the cookies they would like to<br />
purchase. This is a great way to get a huge variety of holiday cookies without baking so many different kinds! All proceeds from the<br />
sale are donated to fund programming at the Rowley Public Library! This event is only successful because of all our bakers (you!) who<br />
spend the time to bake the cookies!!<br />

ROWLEY - Rowley Book Club to meet Thursday December 6 at 6:30 p.m. Join the<br />
Rowley Library Book Club for a discussion of The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a<br />
Memoir by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich, a different kind of murder mystery. The<br />
author believes she is anti-death penalty- until she starts her summer job at a law firm,<br />
and starts to work on the case of Ricky Langley. As she delves into the complicated<br />
truth of his story, she is forced to deal with her own family history, and the reality of<br />
a legal system more colored by our own pasts than we’d like to believe. Pick up a copy<br />
of the current book at the library, then join us on the first Thursday of each month at<br />

I met Kathryn when I was doing fire safety inspections as a fire<br />
inspector for a local fire department. I told my wife if we were to ever<br />
sell our home, I knew who the realtor would be. Well, the time came<br />
that we decided to sell our house and picking a realtor was not an<br />
issue, we called Kathryn. She was easy to work with and brought<br />
a wealth of experience to the table. She knew who needed to be<br />
contacted and involved and kept us updated through emails and<br />
phone calls. At the time of the closing she made a very stressful and<br />
emotional event much easier to go through. We will definitely be<br />
recommending Kathryn to our family and friends.<br />
Darrell and Donna Moore<br />
Don’t you deserve special attention<br />
like this when you sell your home?<br />

ARIES (March <strong>21</strong> to April 19) Although your energy level<br />
is high, be careful not to commit to too many projects at this<br />
time. You’ll do better focusing on just a few tasks rather than<br />
spreading yourself too thin.<br />
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your heart might be leading<br />
you in one direction, but pay attention to your keen Bovine<br />
intellect. I’m cautioning you to think things through before<br />
making any commitments.<br />
(c) 20<strong>18</strong> King Features Syndicate, Inc. GEMINI (May <strong>21</strong> to June 20) Your “serious” Twin has been<br />
dominant in your life for quite a while. It’s time now to let that<br />
“wilder” half take you out for some good times -- perhaps with someone very special.<br />
CANCER (June <strong>21</strong> to July 22) Career aspects are high for Moon Children who make a good impression.<br />
Show people not only what you can already do, but also how you can be more valuable to them in the<br />
future.<br />
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Things start to brighten for the Lion’s<br />
immediate financial future. But be careful to resist the urge to splurge.<br />
You need to tuck something away to help you through another tight<br />
period.<br />
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Having to do too many tasks<br />
in too short a time could lower your mood to just above the grumbling<br />
level. But if you handle things one at a time, you’ll get through it all<br />
soon enough.<br />
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your usually carefully made<br />
holiday plans could be subject to change later this month. Use this<br />
week to prepare for that possibility by starting a Plan B just in case<br />
you need it.<br />
SCORPIO (October 23 to November <strong>21</strong>) Be careful about joining<br />
a colleague’s plan to solve a workplace problem. Investigate it<br />
thoroughly. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a predicament with<br />
other associates.<br />
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December <strong>21</strong>) Slow down that<br />
high-paced whirl you’ve been on. Spending quiet time alone or with<br />
people you care for can be both physically and spiritually restorative.<br />
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Make suggestions, not<br />
demands. You’ll be more successful in getting people to follow your<br />
lead if you exercise quiet patience instead of strong persuasion to get<br />
your ideas across.<br />
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February <strong>18</strong>) You still need more facts<br />
before you can make an informed career choice. One note of caution:<br />
Be careful about whom you ask for that information; otherwise, you<br />
could be misled.<br />
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Changing situations through<br />
the end of the week could lead to some challenging opportunities for<br />
those perspicacious Pisceans who know how to make them work to<br />
their advantage.<br />
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of being both daring and<br />
cautious, traits that could make you a research scientist or maybe even<br />
a rocket-ship designer.<br />

By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD<br />
Xylitol is a sugar substitute<br />
that possesses 40 percent fewer<br />
calories than sugar and has been<br />
shown to help decrease cavities<br />
in teeth, among other things.<br />
However, it is important to<br />
know that xylitol, even in small<br />
quantities, is very toxic to dogs.<br />
The dental benefits of<br />
xylitol have been known since<br />
the 1970’s. Xylitol is not<br />
metabolized by the decaycausing<br />
bacteria Streptococcus<br />
mutans (S. mutans), making<br />
it nonacidogenic and thus<br />
noncariogenic (not decay<br />
causing). Studies have also<br />
indicated xylitol decreases the<br />
levels of S. mutans in both<br />
plaque and saliva. As a result,<br />
patients who use xylitol have<br />
demonstrated a reduction in<br />
decay.<br />
Xylitol is slowly absorbed by<br />
the human intestines; as a result,<br />
it has minimal side effects on<br />
humans. Some may experience<br />
minor side effects, mainly<br />
stomach upset, although this<br />
generally occurs after ingesting<br />
large amounts of xylitol (four<br />
to five times the recommended<br />
How many of us stick our old<br />
cellphones in a drawer when we<br />
buy a new one? Too many of us,<br />
more than 50 percent, according<br />
to a recent survey. Some of<br />
us have just thrown away old<br />
phones.<br />
If you’re in the market for a new<br />
phone and plan to buy it from<br />
the same company, chances are<br />
you can get money back or store<br />
credit toward the new phone.<br />
If you plan to buy from a<br />
different company and can’t<br />

amount for cavity prevention).<br />
There are studies that the body<br />
can adapt to higher dosages of<br />
xylitol and that symptoms can<br />
subside as the body’s tolerance<br />
increases.<br />
While the dental community<br />
embraces xylitol for its cavity<br />
prevention, many people,<br />
including dental professionals,<br />
are unaware of its toxic potential<br />
– not to humans, but to dogs.<br />
While xylitol has little effect on<br />
insulin production in humans,<br />
dogs can experience a rapid<br />
and severe increase in insulin<br />
production after just a small<br />
amount of xylitol ingestion.<br />
A dog that ingests a xylitol<br />
equivalent of three to four pieces<br />
of gum is at risk for hepatic<br />
(liver) failure and necrosis (tissue<br />
death).<br />
Dogs tend to be scavengers by<br />
nature and their likelihood of<br />
encountering potentially toxic<br />
substances in and around the<br />
house is common. The ASPCA<br />
web site lists a multitude of<br />
substances, many of which<br />
are harmless to humans but<br />
potentially dangerous to dogs.<br />
Chocolate, grapes, raisins,<br />
avocado, onion, and citrus<br />
fruits make the list. However,<br />
xylitol is unique in that it is<br />
contained within foods; as a<br />
result, consumers may not even<br />
be aware that a product or food<br />
item contains xylitol.<br />
trade it in for a new phone, there<br />
are still ways to recoup some<br />
dollars from your old phone.<br />
For example, you can sell your<br />
phone on eBay. The minute new<br />
phones come out, those eager to<br />
save money know to look for a<br />
recent previous generation of<br />
phone. EBay has made it easy<br />
for you with a selling kit. They’ll<br />
even send you the box to put it<br />
in for mailing.<br />
Check online prices offered on<br />
places like Gazelle, Swappa or<br />
Glyde. Read the details carefully.<br />
Craiglist will allow you to sell<br />
your phone in-person in your<br />
area. (Don’t fall for scammers<br />
who want you to mail them the<br />
phone in exchange for a check.)<br />
Toxic for Dogs<br />
For dogs suspected of ingesting<br />
xylitol, early intervention is<br />
paramount. Prompt medical<br />
treatment for uncomplicated<br />
xylitol-related hypoglycemia can<br />
yield a good prognosis. Once<br />
Xylitol has affected the liver, it<br />
yields a much graver prognosis.<br />
While veterinarians have been<br />
aware of the potential danger of<br />
The Town<br />
isn’t acciDENTAL<br />

With continually emerging evidence that a<br />
xylitol to dogs for several years,<br />

that awareness has escaped most yourself and your body to receive exceptional dental care.<br />
