r Capsule Comments
by Ernie Miatello
May is Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Awareness Month. CF
is a disease of thick mucus, too much salt, and
not enough water. It effects mainly the lungs and
digestive tract. "It's like breathing through a
straw", says one sufferer. CF is a genetic disease caused by one
error in a single gene. Hopefully gene therapy can fix in the future.
Right now, research is the key.
Prior to the early 70s, a diagnosis of a stomach ulcer meant copious
amounts of antacids, special diets and drugs to slow down the
movement of the stomach and intestines. Also, operations were
performed to sever certain nerves. Today, because of drugs like acid
inhibitors and antibiotics, operations are very rare and actual cures
are achieved through the use of medication alone.
Food for thought: In Belgium, euthanasia has been legal for over
one year. In the first year, 203 persons chose euthanasia to end their
lives.
Home pregnancy kits are very reliable if they are used properly.
False negative results can occur if testing is done too early after
conception (wait at least 7-9 days) or too late (hormone levels drop
after 60-870 days. Reading the directions carefully is the first step.

Some people say
where there's a
pig farm, there's
pollution.
Now
that
stinks.
Commitment On a farm, clean water
is everything. Most of us live on our farms,
and we know that animal health and business
success both depend on a clean environment.
So we invest millions of dollars every year
in research and new technology for reducing
environmental impact. We support Ontario's
tough new clean water legislation, and
we are committed to working under strict
Nutrient Management Plans that help protect
soil and water quality. In Ontario, a hog farm
is a smart combination of science, practical
experience and common sense, where commit-
ment to a clean environment comes first.
The truth is clear — and anything less than
that stinks.
