Dear John,
Warm winter greetings! The past week
introduced us to the first sub-zero
temperatures of the year in our area. We're
staying bundled up, cooking lots of roasts,
soups, and stews for warmth and nourishment
(and don't worry, the cattle are coping quite
well). Since we're on the subject of
nourishing soups and stews, we've got a great
one to share today (see below) which utilizes
not only our popular stew
beef but marrow
bones as well. If you're not already in
the habit of consuming nutritious beef
bone broth, this stew is a great way to
incorporate the nourishing goodness of marrow
bones into your diet.
Do to a January 2nd price hike by Fed Ex, and
after considerable study, we are being forced
to slightly elevate prices 4% or less on
February 1st. Final pricing decisions will be
decided in the next two weeks. We have
worked hard to keep our quality meats
affordable and take pricing decisions very
seriously.
The past week has been an extraordinary week
in smarts and heroism. The US Air saga is
one for the ages. The savvy skill of Captain
Sullenberger proves that all of us should
strive to be the very best at our station in
life in preparation for the unexpected. When
lives are on the line, there is no room for
error.
Our best regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, McKenzie and Tressa

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Good Morning Dr. Serrano,
I have a question that pertains to my DAD and
his illness. My DAD is 73 years old and is
in great health. He was diagnosed about a
year & a half ago with Polymyalgia
Rheumatica. He is presently taking
Prednisone to deal with everyday discomfort.
He has tried being weaned off the medicine 3
times already with a relapse of the illness
each time. His Doctor says he just has to
wait it out and allow his body to fight off
the illness. There is limited information
available for this illness and I was
wondering if there is any advice you might
give to us.
We believe in natural
cures and
feel that this illness maybe related to a
lack of a mineral or vitamin -- but again
there is limited information on this
illness.
Please help.
Thank you,
K.S.

Dear K.:
Happy New Year! I am sorry about your dad's
diagnosis, which by the way is very hard to
treat. Must people with Polymyalgia are
diagnosed because the severity of the pain
and we do not know where or how the disease
originates. I do know some things that help,
and these are:
- Check for food allergies, if no testing
done, start by eliminating milk and wheat and
oatmeal
- Start GLA or gamma linolenic acid with
olive oil (or call Mark for the alpha omegas
that contain all of the above, at (419) 239
9853)
- Check his testosterone, zinc, selenium
and vitamin D levels, mercury and lead
levels, cortisol and DHEA
- Eat more saturated fats - yes, saturated
fats - and less polyunsaturated fats like
canola oil or corn oil
- Eat more nuts, including pistachios
and
walnuts,
but no peanuts
- Add glucosamine and chondroitin as a
supplement
- Swimming and lifting weights has been
shown to help
I hope these suggestions help and let me know
how he responds.
Eric
