Dear John,
 Sweet sunshine! We have been hot in Northeast Missouri this week
with excessive heat warnings in effect for over a week. Our cattle are taking advantage of shade trees during the day and still grazing on
green pastures. Looking for some new grilling ideas? Try some sizzling summer seafood! We found these
handy grilling tips for some of our favorite
seafood entrees. For a delicious way to get your daily amounts of omega-3s, try heart healthy grilled
salmon filets topped with melted
grass-fed butter. For for an eye-pleasing treat try steak and shrimp kabobs - our
NY Strip Kabob meat and
juicy
shrimp prawns make a
delectable summer dish! We are eagerly awaiting our next edition of the Paleo Magazine which should show up within the next week or
so. They have some awesome
recipes posted on their website, as
well as a
distribution map telling where you
can purchase this must-have magazine. They are getting tons of traffic on their
Facebook page, so be sure to stop by and see
what all the fuss is about! Fueled by
pemmican! We are honored to be supplying pemmican to fuel three brave souls who are hiking the Trail of Tears to aid
in the fight against domestic violence. When they contacted us looking for a source of pemmican, which is all they are eating while on the
trail, we spoke with the team and unanimously voted to support this worthwhile hike. For more information, and for trail reports and
updates visit their
campaign page.
Whey protein for weight loss? A
new study by the USDA's Human Nutrition Research Center shows that
whey protein may be more beneficial for weight loss compared to soy protein. Why? They found
that participants consuming whey protein had lower levels of the hormone ghrelin, which helps regulate food intake. If you are looking for
a whey protein from grass-fed cows, it can be hard to find. Luckily, we have three varieties available:
Natural Cocoa,
Natural Vanilla, and
Unflavored Whey.
For more information on our whey products, be sure to check out the
whey
blog page. Dr. Al Sears provides some very interesting news about a key nutrient aiding in the fight against cancer. No,
it's not a new finding, or the latest diet trend, but rather a nutrient that has been around forever. Read his article below for more information. If you have been following
the ag markets at all, you know that input prices have skyrocketed over the last year, thus raising feed prices for cattle feeders. How
does this affect the grass-fed industry? This will be the focus of
The Grassfed Exchange's upcoming seminar
where they will provide information for both consumers and producers and everyone is welcome to attend. The seminar will be held September
15-17 in Norfolk, NE, visit their
website for more details and speaking
schedules. Our good friend and 2007 "Culinary Entrepreneur of the Year"

 Nuts Good for Some With Diabetes
Study Shows Daily Serving of Nuts Improves Blood Sugar in
Type 2 Diabetes
Eating about 2 ounces of
nuts
daily in place of carbohydrates may be beneficial to people with type 2 diabetes by lowering bad cholesterol levels and improving blood sugar
control, a new study shows.
"There are two important factors in caring for diabetes: blood sugar control and heart health," study
researcher Cyril W.C. Kendall, PhD, of the University of Toronto, says in a news release.
Nut Study Design
The study involved
117 people with type 2 diabetes who were randomly assigned to one of three groups. One group's members ate about 2 ounces of mixed nuts daily,
another a healthy muffin, and the third half nuts and half muffin.
Researchers say those whose diet included 2 ounces of nuts showed
better results after three months in both blood sugar and LDL "bad" cholesterol levels than participants in the other two groups.
The
nuts consisted of a mixture of unsalted and mostly raw
almonds,
pistachios,
walnuts,
pecans, hazelnuts, peanuts,
cashews, and
macadamias.
The muffin was
concocted to be a healthy whole wheat product, sweetened with apple concentrate but with no sugar added. The muffins had similar protein content
to the nuts from the addition of egg white and skim milk powder. Calories from monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) in the nuts were the same as
the carbohydrate calories in the muffin, the researchers write.
During the three-month study, participants were asked to maintain
their oral diabetes medications.
Blood Sugar Improvement
The main outcome researchers looked for was change in a marker of blood
sugar control called HbA1c.
Kendall described the results of the study as "a very exciting and promising finding about the treatment"
of type 2 diabetes.
The researchers write that the reduction in the HbA1c level was significantly more in those in the nuts-only
group than participants in the other groups.
The reduction of LDL "bad" cholesterol was also significantly greater in those who
ate 2 ounces of nuts compared with the group eating muffins.
"We conclude that mixed, unsalted, raw, or dry-roasted
nuts
have benefits for both blood glucose control and blood lipids and may be used to increase protein intake in the diets of type 2 diabetic
patients as part of a strategy to improve diabetes control without weight gain," the researchers write.
The study is published in the
August issue of Diabetes Care.

The Original Cancer "Medicine"
By: Al Sears, MD
Dear Health-Conscious
Reader, Vitamin E is the Rodney Dangerfield of the vitamin world - it gets no respect. You may have heard that vitamin E
is not "safe." Or not to take vitamin E because it might raise your risk of lung cancer, it thins your blood, or even increases your risk of
death...But studies show vitamin E protects you from at least ten different kinds of cancer. And we don't need any new inventions or drugs
to prevent cancer. All we have to do is recreate our native environment. You see, cancer was almost unknown in the ancient world. In a study completed just recently and published in the journal Nature, researchers looked at tissue samples from hundreds of
Egyptian mummies. There should have been evidence of cancer in all of them, according to modern cancer statistics. And mummification would have
preserved any sign of tumors. But instead of finding cancer in nearly every mummy...they found only a single case. The hundreds of
other mummies showed no sign of cancer at all.(1) These results would be impossible if cancer were not an entirely modern plague.
Statistically, it could not happen. It wasn't because Egyptians didn't live long enough to get cancer. The mummies had evidence of
age-related problems like brittle bones and hardened arteries. Even as recently as 1930, cancer rates were 460% lower than they are
today. But with the development of modern farming practices that strip our food of its nutrients like vitamin E, cancer rates have shot
up. The Oldest Cancer Fighter Is New AgainVitamin E protects you because it stands guard on the outer
layer (the membrane) of all your cells. It's your cells' first line of defense against attacks from things like pollution, toxins, and other
free-radical damage that makes them older and weaker. As an anti-aging doctor, I've always thought of vitamin E as the original
anti-aging "medicine" - the original antioxidant. In fact, did you know that the ORAC scale, which was developed to measure the antioxidant
power of foods, is based on comparing foods to the antioxidant effects of vitamin E?

Safe Pain Relief With Out Side Effects - A Totally Unique Approach By: Jeffrey Morrison, MD This was a very special weekend for me. A natural drug company called Heel sent me and a group of
doctors to Boston for a speakers training course. The goal of the weekend was to learn about the company, get a better understanding of
their products and fine-tune my speaking skills. Despite all we read about such training sponsored by drug companies, I anticipated
learning countless tools that I could use to help my patients get well. As I left NYC to Boston, I had no idea that this was going to be
such an extremely enlightening and practice changing weekend.
As a board certified doctor, studying biology and pharmacology
in medical school was a central part of the education. I learned how our cells work naturally and how drugs affect our cells. These
sciences have been very well developed over the years and some of the biggest companies in the world rely on basic biology to create new
medicinal products to treat what ails us. Since 'pain' in general is one of the most important health problems today, pain medications
have become one of the biggest categories of drugs in production today.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH),
muscle and joint pain affects 43 million Americans and is the leading cause of disability of people 65 and older. In fact, at least 50% of
people over the age of 40 report they have pain. Pain is the result of an almost infinite number of accidents and strenuous
activities. Bumping your arm as you walk past a door, getting bruised from work accidents or playing sports, as well as twisting your
ankle or knee from walking or running can be the trigger that causes pain. The symptom of pain occurs as part of an inflammatory process that the body creates to
help heal the injury. The two main biochemical pathways that the body uses to create the inflammatory response are through the immune
system and through the cells directly affected by the injury. The immune system response is called TH1/TH2 mediated, and the local
response is the arachodonic acid pathway mediated. Conventional medicine has developed some amazing treatments directed at blocking these
pathways, with the goal of decreasing pain. Drugs like the steroid prednisone block the immune mediated response and non-steroidal drugs
like Diclofenac or Celecoxib have proven successful at blocking the arachonic acid pathway...

Hello Dr. Serrano,
Am I to take the Amino Acid supplements only when working out or can
they be taken on off days as well? Thanks.
I am a big fan of the information that you give us at US Wellness
Meats. Thank you so much sharing with all of us.
Warm Regards,
Lori
______________________________________________________
Dear Lori, You can actually take amino acids every day, even if you don't workout. They help you
with weight gain, weight loss, strength, intestinal problems, and even some mental and health conditions. The reason I recommend them
before and after workouts is because of cost and to maximize results when working out so you don't waste time and effort in things that do not
work.
Amino acids are the
foundation of every protein in your body and the amino acids have advantages: they will not make you bloated and you won't develop allergies to
them.
Good Luck,
Dr. Serrano

 Body Weight Action Training for Rapid Fat Loss
By: Scott Mendelson
Scott,
I am out of shape and need a workout to burn fat as well as improve energy, endurance, strength for daily activities, etc. What
program can I do with minimal equipment while having the ability to adjust the program to keep progress rolling? Where do I start with a
good diet?
Ron
____________________________________________ Ron,
We must walk before we can run right? I would encourage anyone reading this article to take
production action- NOW for a better tomorrow! Dr. Serrano suggests a body weight circuit workout with constant movement between
sets. For example do a set of pushups and during the 30 second rest period between sets, walk around to keep moving. This may seem
like a minor detail, but it can help not only with calorie burning, but also to increase the fat burning hormonal response from exercise.
Over time to make the workout more productive as your level of fitness improves, you can employ running in place between sets or even rapid jump
roping.
My advanced clients who have built up a high work capacity will do a few constant motion workouts in addition to their
gym training to accelerate their goal time table. With summer here we leave no stone unturned for clients. You would be amazed how
much a few 15-minute well structured routines done at home will do for accelerating body fat loss. These methods really put people over
the top provided they stay on top of recovery to ensure the body responds optimally to training from a hormonal and metabolic stand point.
They also provide a great opportunity to address lagging body parts or weaker muscles by providing additional target work to fix weak
links. Remember that you are only as strong as your weakest links and muscle imbalances are a top cause for injury.
The
sequence of exercises is very important to maintain a high level of intensity while also letting muscles recover between sets. This
is why we suggest pairing an upper and lower body movement together in a super set fashion. For example, a set of pushups followed by the
30 second active rest period then a set of body weight squats, a 30 second active rest period and repeat 3 to 5 times before moving on to the
next pair of exercises. This sequence allows the upper body muscles to recovery while the lower body musculature is working.
Constant Strategic Change for Rapid Fat Loss
The constant motion system can be adjusted to many different skill
and fitness levels and you make a good point about adjusting the routine. Too many people fall into the trap of never changing workouts or
making the wrong changes. As results diminish the interest fades and many people end up right back on the couch! To keep progress
moving many parameters can be altered such as speed of the reps, active rest period lengths, set sequencing, exercises, rep ranges and
more. On a daily basis I help clients earn rapid results by overhauling routines to ensure the new stimuli deliver the impact needed to
reach goals FAST!
