Dear John,
Mother Nature is dishing out a nasty snow
storm in the heart of the Midwest tonight.
Biblical snows in Kansas, Oklahoma and parts
of Missouri. Luckily, the Northeast corner of
Missouri will be spared the heaviest snowfall
totals. This surprise mix of Gulf of Mexico
moisture will yield an abundance of Spring
forage in a matter of weeks.
The media dished out it's own snow job
this week when it tarred and feathered all
red meat as a cause of many human maladies. It
is interesting to note, Argentina leads the
world in per capita consumption of red meat
with fewer issues per thousand of cancer,
heart disease and diabetes than the USA.
Oh, by the way, a very high percentage of
that consumption is grass-fed
beef that they
have consumed in abundance for centuries.
The late Paul Harvey could have created a
great "The Rest of The Story" from the
headlines of last week.
I visited with a very savvy customer last
week on this issue. He has simply refused to
buy any consumables in a cardboard package.
He indicated how much better he felt buying
grass-fed
meats, grass-fed
butter & cheese and stocking up on
organic veggies
from a local farmer's market every Saturday.
Everything he brings to his kitchen is in a
recognizable form as close to to the
original plant or animal format as possible.
Catherine Ebeling will discuss this issue in
earnest next week in her column. Stay tuned.

QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
Dear Dr. Serrano,
My mother was diagnosed with a disease called
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis about 5 years ago,
which is a chronic disease of the bile ducts
eventually leading to cirrhosis of the liver.
This disease is now thought to be an
autoimmune disorder.
I am having a hard time finding information
on proper nutrition for this chronic disease,
and I am wondering if you have any
advice.
All we know is she is supposed to watch her
sodium intake.
Any information you can give me would be much
appreciated.
Thanks for your help!
J. K.
Dear R.G.:
PBC or primary biliary cirrhosis is a very
hard disease to trea, and with a very poor
prognosis. It is an autoimmune disease, but
we don't know what starts the disease, but we
must assume that it is our own body attacking
the liver and if we assume that something is
wrong with our immune system, then we should
turn it off. I don't want to give you the
wrong idea that these guide lines can work
miracles, but it is worth a try because
nothing else seems to work.
First thing is to start the patient on free
form amino acids, like Muscle Synthesis and
MR100%, or Density by Beverly International,
the only two supplements that are protein
sources in the simplest form, so the liver
can use them without digesting them and they
can be incorporated into proteins as the
liver needs. But before I would do this, the
most
important step is to eliminate any allergens
or any causes that will activate the immune
system, and you should start with food, and
the list should be:
- no wheat
- no dairy products; however, this does not
include grass-fed
butter
- no peanuts or peanut butter
- no eggs
- no tomatoes
You must also rotate the diet and try to
change the sources of proteins so the body
doesn't develop allergies or keep the intake
of free form amino acids high by ingesting
the supplements above, (note that I do make
money if you purchase Muscle Synthesis or
MR100 but not Density, the phone number is 1
(614) 596 7994).
In addition, to
keep the
digestive system working optimally, I will
use digestive enzymes like Creon, or Ultrase
MT12 or 18, with each meal and I would also
add probiotics, either from Klaire by going
to their website or calling the 1800 number
and using the code 614 and the name is
COMPLETE, or Ortho Molecular by calling 1800
842 0924, use the code "serr10"( I do make
money but I don't care, I just think these
two products are excellent) and the last
thing we will do is to add liver support by
adding:
- 600 mgs of glutathione
- 200 mgs of glycine (no need if you buy
MR100)
- Colostrum 300 mgs
- Lactoferrin 100 mgs
- Milk thistle 300 mgs
- N-acetyl cysteine - 600 mgs or try
Cerefolin NAC 2 tablets per day
J. K. Ii know this is a lot to digest but I
hope it helps some. Let me know how your mom
is doing.
GOD bless you
Best regards,
Dr. Serrano
