Dear John,
U.S. Wellness would like to introduce Linda Wilson as our new customer service specialist. Linda has a worked many years in the customer service arena and will be rapidly getting up to speed with the U.S. Wellness product line. Remember, you are just one toll free call (877-383-0051) away from fast and friendly customer service.
Megan Baugh has stepped up into Lynn Day's marketing director position. We wish Lynn well in her new endeavor that requires a 5 minute commute compared to 40 minutes to Monticello! Megan is most enthused to carry her bundle of energy into her new position.
Many of you have asked about fresh portion sales over the past 7 years. That will become a reality later this year as we are working out the logistics at this time. We will keep the menu to beef cuts only and most likely you will need to have orders in by Friday noon so the order can be fabbed on Monday and with luck shipped same day or Tuesday overnight to your door. Final details to be determined. Please fill free to make suggestions.
Catherine's Corner is a great read today, as an insidious disease affects one out of little more than 100. Most of the sufferers don't know they have it, and doctors don't diagnose it very often, due to the fact that this disease can be cured by dietary changes alone.
U.S. Wellness Grass-fed beef and meats will help those who suffer from this serious malady to return to health and vitality.
Best Regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan and Linda
On behalf of the farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats.

Dollars Motivate Employees to Diet
Just $7 for dropping a few pounds is enough incentive
People will lose weight for money, even a little money, suggests a study that offers another option for employers looking for ways to cut health care costs.
The research published in the September issue of the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found that cash incentives can be a success even when the pay out is as little as $7 for dropping just a few pounds in three months.

GRASS-FED POWERED ATHLETE CORNER
|
John Wood shared a microphone on KRXA talk radio Saturday with host Glenn Brooks and Jon Andersen in a spirited discussion on the health benefits of grass-fed meat. Jon was asked what motivated him to commence his legendary work out schedule as a 15 year old. Jon responded he was a slightly over weight young man attempting to play high school sports when Jon flipped on a 'stoic training' switch on that has never been turned off. The key to Jon's success is he has never taken time off from training in 20 years. You will never get ahead in an on again, off again training regime. The first question Jon is asked is what do you eat. Jon was quick to point out that many folks consume food with little essential nutrition on board. Jon's biggest gains came when grass-fed was introduced in March of 2004. The epiphany came after doing his own research based on the foundation poured by U.S. Wellness staff at the Fit Expo in Pasadena, CA. when the grass-fed beef journey began. If all goes well in the next month, Jon should have a very interesting story to tell in a future newsletter. |

 Mysterious Disease is America's Epidemic
It can begin as severe intestinal distress, stomach pains, and diarrhea, malnutrition and extreme weight loss, or it can be as benign and subtle as anemia, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, or acid reflux. Often sufferers may go from doctor to doctor, only to have each symptom treated separately, or even to be told, "its all in your head," and sent home. Frustrated victims may even suffer from migraines, depression or even schizophrenia, in addition to other physical symptoms.
For many, it may take more than ten years, and several doctors to finally come up with a correct diagnosis. The treatment is simple, and it does not usually require heavy medication, surgery or hospitalization.
What is this strange and mysterious malady?

Hi Dr. Serrano:
Because of a family history of arthritis and blood work that indicated a predisposition to rheumatoid arthritis, I was told to avoid foods high in arachidonic acid, i.e. red meat, egg yolks, etc. I am wondering if grass fed beef is lower in arachidonic acid than grain fed beef? Thanks for any information you can provide. I have eaten grass fed beef for a couple of years and hope I don't have to give it up!
Regards,
Janet Mullinax
Dear Janet:
NO WAY.
Arthritis has nothing to do with the fats, especially rheumatoid arthritis, which has actually been associated with food allergies and viral infections. Recently some research has shown that the antibodies that attack and destroy your joints are identical to the gluten antibodies that your body produces. Almost every joint, pardon, every joint is made out of fat, and to make it worst they are made of saturated fats, so eating all those good things, will make your joints better. Now because you are talking about RA, we need to find out what you are allergic to, or what your body reacts with, usually a protein or a pieces of protein, or the body is intolerant to certain foods, and these foods are:
- gluten
- casein
- corn
- egg
- lactose
No fat in this list, so go for it, and enjoy your organic meats with fats.

WHAT'S UP DOC: Dr. Al Sears, MD

PICTURE THIS
By: Dr. Al Sears MD
You're about to bite into a nice, juicy steak at your favorite restaurant, when the waiter comes to your table and asks, "Do you all have enough antibiotics here? Are you enjoying your added lysine? How's the synthetic hormone?"
It's true. Unless you take steps to prevent it, the steak at your local restaurant or grocery store has artificial substances that, if given a choice, you wouldn't eat.
The cause is a simple one to understand: Produce the maximum amount of saleable meat per animal, as fast as possible, at the lowest possible cost. Commercial ranchers add growth hormones and feed low grade antibiotics to protect the liver from the acidic starch diet. This accelerates the animals' growth and yield, and protects them from the pathological bacteria they're exposed to.
Meanwhile, they're denied grasses and legumes, the only foods that their digestive systems have evolved to properly metabolize. Instead, they eat a high starch diet feed grains and a plant protein with unnatural additives. The result is a fat, inflamed and diseased animal. When you eat their meat, they have potential to pass these problems on to you.
High starch diet commercial cattle have significant less nutritional value than their pasture-fed relatives. A study in the Journal of Animal Science found that the more grass cattle ate, the more nutrient-rich their beef became. CLA and omega 3's rise while omega 6's decline.
These differences include your essential fatty acids, the omega-3 fat, CLA - so important for your brain and, the must-have energy nutrient for your heart, CoQ10.
For most of the 6,000 years since humans first domesticated cattle, they freely grazed hillsides, fields, and pastureland. If it's tasty, natural, and nutritious beef you're after, two words of advice: Go grass-fed.
French P, et al., "Fatty acid composition, including conjugated linoleic acid, of intramuscular fat from steers offered grazed grass, grass silage, or concentrate-based diets." Journal of Animal Science, 78(2000): 2849-2855.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
|
Dear Sir/Madam:
By the way, I cooked two of the 75% ground beef patties. They were fabulous -- the smell and flavor reminded me of the meat I used to eat as a child. Many years ago my father was a butcher and owned a small
shop. The beef we ate then had real flavor and the
melted fat was like "butter". Over the years we
forgot just how good real meat tastes like. We will
definitely be reordering.
Sincerely,
J.F.
N. Andover, MA.

$25 DISCOUNT FOR 40 LB. INCREMENTS
|
|
Do not forget
to take advantage of the 40 pound $25 discount by ordering 40 pound
combinations of beef,
lamb,
pork,
butter,
goat,
shrimp
and raw
cheese.
This is our way of saying thank you for purchasing in volume. This
can be any combination of products totaling 40 pounds and does not have to be
specific to any category. Each 40 pound interval will yield the discount. For example,
80 pounds of product will yield a $50 discount and a 120 pound purchase will
yield a $75 discount.
|
MINIMUM PURCHASE
|
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.
