Dear John,
Our apologies
for the right
had margin error
in the lower sections of the News Alert
Sunday morning. We appreciate your patience
as you review the corrected copy below.

My Scotch-Irish roots will be tingling on
Tuesday as we celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
History tells us St. Patrick was captured as
a 16 year old in Wales and whisked off to
Ireland where he was used as slave labor in
Slemish, County Antrim. Now for the
surprise, St. Patrick worked as a
herdsman (short for grass farmer) for six years.
After six years he heard a voice calling him
home to Wales. He was reunited with his
family after a 200 mile escape to a port
where he was able to secure safe passage back to
the British Isles.
Several years later, St. Patrick had a calling
to return to Ireland and the rest is history
with a bit of mystery interwoven between fact
and fiction. Needless to say he was a true
leader in his time and lighting rod for change.
Flash forward 1549 years from the passing of
St. Patrick and you will see the NAIS
(national animal Identification system) train
barreling down the tracks. The NAIS train
left the station as a voluntary program for
animal agriculture. Unfortunately, socialist
political forces have taken the reins and
were attempting this past week to force this
very expensive intrusion into the pioneering
spirit of animal agriculture.
One of the reasons we enjoy the cheapest food
supply in the world today is the fierce
independence and resolve of the agriculture
community dating all the way back to our
ancestors in the days of St. Patrick.
We have managed to stamp out many ills in
animal agriculture without government
interference in our daily farming rituals.
The following quote from Max Thornsberry DVM
MBA sums it up succinctly:
"This is about forcing individual animal ID
on cow-calf producers, nation wide. Canada
can do it because they only have about 8 to
12 million head of cattle, and Australia can
do it because they only have about 20 to 25
million head of cattle. Imagine the
logistics of individually electronically
identifying 95 million head of cattle across
the entire geographical United States. You
will need an Individual Animal ID office in
every county seat in the United States in
order to manage the data base and trace the
movement of every cow and calf in every
county. The cost will be unimaginable."
If you are in the letter writing mood, the
following website has the necessary details
which just might put some common sense back
into a
government that is broke and in drastic need
of down sizing: Click HERE
Spring is off to a ferocious start in
Northeast Missouri this week. Three inches
of rain and the Mississippi River at moderate
flood stage on Friday reminds us that Mother
Nature never rests. Toss in some warm
weather this week and the countryside will come
alive in the solar collection business
creating an
easel of panoramic color.
Thank you for your patience in our struggle
to roll out a new website last week. We are
still addressing some minor glitches which
will be resolved soon. It will be good
number of years before we attempt another
transformation.

QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
Dear Dr. Serrano,
I have PCOS, trouble with weight gain,
irregular menstruation and infertility.
I am a vegetarian and I recently have been
trying to follow the Okinawa diet that
recommends soy and fish. Before adding fish,
eggs, and yogurt in my diet, I was a vegan.
I have been vegetarian since '91 but didn't
struggle with being overweight until I had my
second child. I used to be an aerobic
instructor though and that probably
compensated.
The only diets I have
had success with are raw diets but I can't
stick to it for long and then gain it all back.
Thanks for your help!
R. G.
Dear R.G.:
I told John that I hate vegetarians because
they are missing vitamins and minerals. I
see so many of them in my office with
difficulties including PCOS, iron deficiency
and B12 with severe depression.
R. G. to answer your question, I need more
information. For example, what kind of
vegetarian are you? Do you eat pasta or
wheat. I see you added eggs and dairy as
most vegetarians do not eat vegetables but a
lot of grains. R. G. the worst condition
for a PCOS person is hyperinsulinemia and
high androgens, which end up making you fat
and actually will make it difficult getting
pregnant. R. G. you also added soy, which
makes your situation worse by gaining weight
and also maybe changing your periods and even
making you depressed. I am going to make some
recommendations base on the information that
you given me:
- you are going to continue gaining weight
if you don't stop consuming carbohydrates all the
time
- start adding supplements that have good
fat in them, like nuts
etc, and if you don't
consume grass-fed
butter butter or good
fish sources buy Alpha
omega-3 from Scott at 614 596 7994
- add chromium pycolinate and gymnema
sylvestre to your diet
- add one to three tablespoons of organic
vinegar per day
- start lifting weights so you become more
insulin sensitive and you can start losing
weight; sorry, aerobics do burn calories but
don't add muscle
- raw is good but again if you are consuming
carbohydrates in large quantities you are
going to continue gaining weight
- 60%of my PCOS patients are fructose
intolerant, yes fruits, and juices, sorry,
keep fructose low
- if consuming carbohydrates, make sure that
they come from sweet potatoes, rice,
vegetables, and corn and consume 80% of them
after your workout
- Glucophage is one of the greatest
medications available for patients with PCOS,
it helps you with insulin, and weight
gain.
R. G. I hope these suggestions help, I am
sorry I couldn't make more suggestions, but I
didn't have enough info to make more suggestions
Best regards,
Dr. Serrano
