Dear John,

Warm winter greetings! The past week introduced us to the first sub-zero temperatures of the year in our area. We're staying bundled up, cooking lots of roasts, soups, and stews for warmth and nourishment (and don't worry, the cattle are coping quite well). Since we're on the subject of nourishing soups and stews, we've got a great one to share today (see below) which utilizes not only our popular stew beef but marrow bones as well. If you're not already in the habit of consuming nutritious beef bone broth, this stew is a great way to incorporate the nourishing goodness of marrow bones into your diet.

Do to a January 2nd price hike by Fed Ex, and after considerable study, we are being forced to slightly elevate prices 4% or less on February 1st. Final pricing decisions will be decided in the next two weeks. We have worked hard to keep our quality meats affordable and take pricing decisions very seriously.

The past week has been an extraordinary week in smarts and heroism. The US Air saga is one for the ages. The savvy skill of Captain Sullenberger proves that all of us should strive to be the very best at our station in life in preparation for the unexpected. When lives are on the line, there is no room for error.

Our best regards,

John, Lee Ann, Megan, McKenzie and Tressa on behalf of the farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Good Morning Dr. Serrano,

    I have a question that pertains to my DAD and his illness. My DAD is 73 years old and is in great health. He was diagnosed about a year & a half ago with Polymyalgia Rheumatica. He is presently taking Prednisone to deal with everyday discomfort. He has tried being weaned off the medicine 3 times already with a relapse of the illness each time. His Doctor says he just has to wait it out and allow his body to fight off the illness. There is limited information available for this illness and I was wondering if there is any advice you might give to us.

    We believe in natural cures and feel that this illness maybe related to a lack of a mineral or vitamin -- but again there is limited information on this illness.

    Please help.

    Thank you,
    K.S.

    Dear K.:

    Happy New Year! I am sorry about your dad's diagnosis, which by the way is very hard to treat. Must people with Polymyalgia are diagnosed because the severity of the pain and we do not know where or how the disease originates. I do know some things that help, and these are:

    1. Check for food allergies, if no testing done, start by eliminating milk and wheat and oatmeal
    2. Start GLA or gamma linolenic acid with olive oil (or call Mark for the alpha omegas that contain all of the above, at (419) 239 9853)
    3. Check his testosterone, zinc, selenium and vitamin D levels, mercury and lead levels, cortisol and DHEA
    4. Eat more saturated fats - yes, saturated fats - and less polyunsaturated fats like canola oil or corn oil
    5. Eat more nuts, including pistachios and walnuts, but no peanuts
    6. Add glucosamine and chondroitin as a supplement
    7. Swimming and lifting weights has been shown to help

    I hope these suggestions help and let me know how he responds.

    Eric
