from SN:
Dr. McManus,
Today we had our first follow-up appointment since you put me on hormones and a different vitamin regimen about 7 weeks ago. I also finished your recommended yeast cleanse about a week ago.
As you know my main concerns were stress/anxiety, insomnia, and high blood pressure. What an amazing turnaround. Stress/anxiety is very minimal, my blood pressure is in the normal range, and, most importantly, I have been sleeping!!! Even when I wake up during the night, I am able to fall back asleep which was not the case when I came to your office for my first visit. I used to rely on melatonin and other sleep aids to help the problem but these are no longer necessary - yay!!!!!! Thanks.

You Don't Always Get What You Want

This month we're focusing on BEEF.
Traditionally, cattle were grass fed from start to finish. As little as three generations ago, a steer was fed grass its entire life and was not slaughtered for market until the age of four or five years old. Today, through misguided policies and government subsidies, our nation has figured out the route to cheaper and faster without considering the long term impact on humans, animals, and environmental health. Now, the majority of cattle spends just the first few months of life on pasture land and then are "finished", or fattened, in a feed lot (Confined Animal Feeding Operations, aka CAFO). The goal is to take a cow from birthweight of about 80 pounds to 1200 pounds in just a little more than a year. The only way to accomplish this unnatural feat is to feed the animal enormous quantities of corn, soy based protein supplements, antibiotics and other drugs, including hormones.
This article could easily take many avenues, from animal cruelty, environmental issues or government policy, but our purpose today is to focus on what kind of beef can offer the greatest nutritional value. Let me preface this by saying that most Americans consume far more meat than needed and are grossly insufficient consumers of vegetables and healthy, undamaged fats. Meats, which can be part of a well-balanced, nutritious diet, are far healthier and superior when obtained from animals that have eaten their natural diet.
