Inventory Notes
The following items have been restocked in
the past week. We apologize for the demand
driven shortages:
Brand New Sweet Surprise to the U.S.
Wellness Store!
U.S. Wellness is pleased to introduce an
un-filtered, non-pasteurized Christmas berry
pure
raw honey produced on the southern tip of
the Big Island of Hawaii. One of our meat
customers, Kieba, has introduced this
wonderful honey
and we have a limited inventory in 12 ounce
squeeze bottles.
We will feature Kieba in our next newsletter
and her unique personal training oasis near
Pahoa, Hawaii on the Big Island. For a
sneak preview, click here
for a tantalizing get-a-way in the South
Pacific. If you would like to own a piece of
the Big Island in Hawaii, here is a most unique
opportunity at the most Southern tip of
the USA.
New For Pet Owners
U.S. Wellness Meats has created a pet
food liverwurst sausage.
The experimental recipe
did not work out perfect in texture for the
food store but will be perfect for pets. We
have taken out all of the industrial binders
that make fabrication easy and are
experimenting with natural binders and
haven't found the perfect 1800's recipe yet.
It contains 30% beef trim, 30% beef liver,
20% beef heart and 20% beef kidney from
grass-fed beef animals.
My dog wagged his tail in appreciation of
his sample!
Consumption of Raw Milk May Offer
Protection
Against Asthma and Allergy
In a cross-sectional multi-center study
involving 14,893 children aged 5-13 years,
results indicated that consumption of raw farm
milk might exert a protective effect against
asthma and allergy.
Serum samples were obtained from the
participants and allergen-specific IgE was
measured. After adjusting for potential
confounders, raw farm milk consumption ever was
associated with a 26% reduced risk of asthma,
a 44% reduced risk of rhinoconjunctivitis, a
33% reduced risk of sensitization to pollen,
and a 50% reduced risk of sensitization to
horse dander.
The results indicate that consumption of raw farm
milk may offer protection against asthma and
allergy.

Conjugated Linoleic Acid May Reduce Body
Fat
and Prevent Weight Gain
In a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled study involving 49
overweight but otherwise healthy adults (aged
18-44 years), supplementation with conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA) for a period of 6 months
was found to reduce body fat and prevent
weight gain during the holiday season.
Subjects were randomized to receive either
3.2 g/day CLA or a placebo. Results found
that after six months, body composition was
improved among subjects taking the CLA -
specifically, body fat was reduced (-1.0 kg)
among subjects taking CLA, while no such
change was found among subjects taking the
placebo.
Furthermore, the rate of reported negative
emotions decreased significantly among
subjects taking CLA, compared to baseline
reporting.

Strongman Corner By John Wood |
|
Jesse
Marunde is fine tuning for the WSMSS
Muscle Beach Grand Prix to be held in Venice,
CA. on June 16th. To give you a taste of the
effort required, please note the course of
events and think about the strength required:
- 550 pound fishing pole dead lift
- 660 pound Apollo's Axle dead lift
- 705 pound power lifting bar
- Carry 880 pound frame 10 meters for time
To top off their tanks, contestants will be
required to lift and carry Odd Haugen's 410
pound tomb stone rock on a 20 meter course
for time.
I hope to live to see the
day when strongman athletes receive the same
recognition and compensation as the ultimate
fighters. No one works any harder for the
least amount of compensation than these
athletes who take their bodies to the brink
every time they compete.

What's Up Doc By Dr. Al Sears, MD |
|
Getting Back to a Natural, Healthy Diet
By Al Sears, MD
Conventional
wisdom tells
you to avoid fat
whenever possible, especially saturated
animal fat. That's too bad. Your body needs
fat. It's essential to life. The real problem
is that our modern world changed the
character of fat.
For millions of years, red meat has been
humankind's primary source of fat and
protein. But today, nutrition "experts" tell
you it's deadly. How can that be? Did our
bodies change?
No. The red meat has changed.

Sports and Nutrition Questions? By Dr. Eric Serrano MD, Ph.D., MS Nutrition and BS Corporate Wellness |
|
The format for Dr.
Serrano's question and answer session will be
very simple. Please
E-mail
U.S. Wellness Meats and we will
publish answers on a first-come, first-serve
basis.
This issue will be devoted to a special
article written by Dr. Serrano based on a
number of questions surrounding the fat
issues discussed below. This article is a
real gem and should be saved or printed for
reference.
The Power of Fat By Dr.
Serrano
I decided to write this article because the
number of questions U.S. Wellness Meats is
getting about the consumption of fat and the
types of fat. This article may raise some
controversy and some researchers may question
it, but this has real life application, and
it works 99% of the time--and rarely anything
works 99%.
Before I start with a
lesson on
fats, I will define what classes of fats are
out there, what they are, what they do, and
how to manipulate them to lose fat, and
increase muscle size, while adding some years
to your life.

Wife Consumes Her Body Weight in Jerky, Exposing and Evading Grocery Store Fat Traps By Shane Ellison, M.Sc. |
|
My wife recently consumed her body weight in
beef jerky. What was supposed to be a light,
healthy snack turned into an all out beef
eating binge.
Her ravenous consumption made me ponder that
it must be an especially good brand. Rushing
out of town, I bought it at my local health
food store. That was where I messed up big time!
Ignoring the label, I was ensnared by the
number one grocery store fat trap - which was
the cause of my wife's abnormal and ravenous
consumption of the beef.. If I can succumb
to them, then everyone is susceptible to the
fat traps lurking in grocery stores.

This article is a continuation of the story
first published in March regarding my golden
retriever, Buck, who recovered from a spiral
candy cane fracture of the femur in January
of 2006. Recovery was accomplished without
surgery or casting of any kind!
The picture above is proof positive ole Buck
is 100% healed on a diet of raw burger,
marrow
bones and knuckle
bones supplemented with
Or-ion concentrated
minerals and Or-ion
organic
calcium. Milliseconds after the
shutter closed, his rear legs were two feet
airborne in pursuit of a marrow bone in my
right hand.
We welcome your comments regarding unique pet
healing or nutrition related stories. We
will publish on a first come first serve basis.

Minimum Purchase Reminder |
|
Our new format enacted in April 2005
requires a
$75 minimum purchase and a 7 pound minimum
combined purchase of
beef,
lamb,
pork, nutraceuticals,
gourmet
rabbit, soap,
organic
shrimp, grass-fed
goat, grass-fed
bison,
raw cheese,
single piece poultry, and
butter.
The issue is the bulk chicken and ten pound
cheese bundles originate from separate cold
storage
centers where those products are produced. It
is not
efficient to ship one package of beef as a stand
alone item when the balance of the order
originates
400 miles away.
The shopping cart will keep track and remind
you if
you are under the 7 pound limit for a
combination of
beef, lamb, pork, raw cheese, butter, goat,
shrimp,
soap and single honey bottle
purchases. Red font will appear under the
shopping
cart if you are under the minimum price or pound
requirements
