Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hi , I sent an e-mail to the US Wellness folks because they have a number of products (the jerky, the pemmican, and did you notice the beef stock made from the Nourishing Traditions recipe?) that would simplify my life greatly. They were really helpful and responsive, and though not familiar with SCD, told me they were adamant about using products that were pure, and that there was nothing added outside of their ingredient lists. Of course, pure to them may be something completely different that it does to us. I didn't ask about the turkey jerky, but the only questionable ingredient in the other products I'm interested in was the salt (and maybe the pepper, although I get the impression that anti-caking agents are usually not added to it), and they said they use pure sea salt. I'd like to talk to them on the phone, and get a letter on letterhead before I'm absolutely comfortable, since I've discovered the hard way that even long explanations with people providing me food (along with their reassurances) hasn't necessarily yeilded legal food. I haven't written to any manufacturers yet, but I imagine you just send a letter explaining the diet and asking for them to certify on their letterhead that the requested products do not contain illegal ingredients. It's on my to-do list, but who knows when I'll get around to it. If you do get a letter, it's good to share it with the group (I imagine by scanning and sending it to Marilyn?) The US Wellness people were really nice, and I got the impression that they care, which is half the battle.

The US Wellness people were really nice, and I got the impression that they care, which is half the battle. They were one of the companies recommended to me when I was hunting bison liver to make pate for after my cancer surgery. (Doctor wanted me on an iron sup, I said, no, it would have to be liver. She laughed at the face I made, because I don't like liver.) I ended up getting the liver from Black Wing Meats, who were also really, really nice. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
