Dear John,
Another month has flown by here at US Wellness Meats. We are at the end of April already and still enjoying warm spring weather here in Northeast Missouri. We would like to thank our dedicated customers for another successful (and busy!) month.
We will be attending the Foundations Recovery Network Conference: Holistic Treatment: Changing the Way We Look at Recovery - Body, Mind & Spirit, this week. So if you are in the Las Vegas area please stop in at the Palms and visit our booth! We are looking forward to spreading the word about how important a healthy, grass-fed diet is to furthering treatment and improving health.
USA Today had a startling report last week about levels of contaminants in the US beef supply. According to an audit by the US Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General "We found that the national residue program is not accomplishing its mission of monitoring the food supply for harmful residues. Together, FSIS, FDA, and EPA have not established thresholds for many dangerous substances (e.g., copper or dioxin3), which has resulted in meat with these substances being distributed in commerce.
The grass-fed protocol is a simple production system that herbivores have perfected over the centuries. Growing high quality forage without synthetic chemical inputs is a huge advantage in the end product. We are turning solar energy into healthy forage that grazing animals convert into superior lipids, vitamins, protein and amino acids for your health and wellness.
For a tour of our farms, watch The Grass-Fed Difference.
 Have you met our new featured chef yet? Dan Whalen, author of the popular food blog "The Food in My Beard" was kind enough to sit down for an interview and share some of his amazing recipes with us! Visit his blog for some delicious in-depth recipes with pictures all along the way - he is an expert on everything from apple pie to traditional Mofongo, and everything in between! His recipe for Ancho-Coffee Braised Short Ribs is amazing, and if you are curious about what Mofongo is, see the recipe, which features a US Wellness roast!

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
___________________________________________
Dr. Serrano,
I read about the low iron test, I had one last October 2009. I have also been tested for GI and colon, both came back normal. I am 47 years old, 95 lbs and 4'11 in tall. I feel tired and cold all the time. I am not sure what my iron level is currently, possibly level 9. I do not eat red meat but have a good digestive system. I have been missing periods and sometimes have cramps. I currently take Humalog mix 75/25 insulin - 11 units every morning and 7 units with dinner. I also take Levothyroxine (150 mg).
My doctor wants me to take Ferrous Sulfate 5 Grains (325 mg), a dietary supplement and Vitamin C. I bought Vitamin C (1000 mg), but know this is toxic. If I don't take anything for my anemia treatment will it kill me? What will happen if I don't take the treatments asap?
Thanks,
Wendy

Dear Wendy,
I love your letter and I can tell you were not happy with my questions, and I knew some of the answers but still had to ask, if not then I am leading the blind. I dont think you are going to die if you don't take your iron, but you need to find out why your levels are low, or what kind of anemia you have.
You don't eat red meat and that is wrong especially if you have diabetes, because meat provides protein, fats, and other vitamins that are good for a diabetic without the sugars. Especially for you, it is the best iron nature can provide, so your first step is to start eating Organic Red Meat, it is the best way to get your levels up.
Your next step is to keep your carbohydrates lower than usual so you can lower your insulin even more. Also start lifting weights so you gain muscle, and reduce the need for insulin even more.
Last but not least, you feel cold because your thyroid is not doing its job. Try changing your thyroid medication to armour thyroid or nature thyroid, you will feel better and your absorption of iron will also get better.
Good Luck,
Dr. Serrano
