NEWS FLASH!
On July 13 - 15 Dee and I attended the American Emu Association (AEA) annual convention. While there we learned even more about raising our birds and hatching the chicks. It was great to meet up with old friends and make new ones.
It was shared with us that the AEA had made a random purchase of emu oil directly from emu oil producers, ordered online from companies, and even purchased thru E-Bay and Amazon. All total eleven samples were purchased and then sent to a lab that had never analized emu oil before thus removing any bias that may be present from labs that regularly analize emu oil. A fatty acid profile was done on each sample, compared to the international trade rules for emu oil and the results were eye opening. Out of the 11 samples only 5 were confirmed as pure emu oil, a couple of them were just straight corn or soybean oil and some were blends although all labels indicated that they all contained pure emu oil. Please, if you are not purchasing your emu oil from us, be sure that you are getting what you pay for. A fatty acid profile should be available from anyone selling emu oil and this can be compared to the international trade rules. Questions - give us a call.
Also we learned that a clinical trial for reconstuctive breast surgery after a mastsectomy had been completed and has been published. Watch our newsletter for further details.
Great News - at the AEA banquet on Saturday Eve, Dee and I were awarded a prestigious award, The Bitsy Cartwright Pioneer award. This is awarded annually to the person/couple who have done a lot to promote the emu industry. We both were quite surprised and yes, we were honored. |

Hello from 4 D Acres Everything Emu
Recycle. When Mike was a child that word was not in his vocabulary but it was the way of life. Clothes and shoes from cousins and neighbors that had outgrown them and still in good shape were passed on down to younger members of the family. Soda, milk, etc came in glass bottles that were either sold or exchanged with the next purchase. In fact one sunny day Mike, his brother and some of their cousins walked six miles between two towns picking up pop bottles out of the ditches - then it was six miles back carrying those bottles (luckily an aunt came by to check on them and filled the trunk with a lot of those bottles). Upon returning to town they were sold to the local grocery for a penny apiece. All six of them each recieived just over a $1.00.
Here at 4 D Acres we continue to recycle. Our emu and chicken feed comes in 50 pound sacks and with 1 - 2 ton of feed consumed each month we take the empty sacks to the recycle center where they are classified as cardboard. We also take carboard when we go (everything from shipping boxes we have received to cereal boxes) as well as newspapers. The wood shavings that the baby chickens and emus are started on are used as mulch in the flower garden or placed on the compost pile. Trips to town are combined so to conserve fuel. Our thermostat is set at 82 in the summer and 68 in the winter, in fact the office is not air conditioned ( a fan moves air) and is heated with wood in the winter. |

Thank you so much! My daughter's psoriasis is improved, using Psori-Care, to the point ALL of the scaling is gone... only smooth red spots now. We've learned to slap emu oil on a burn right away to instantly relieve the pain and prevent scarring. Even my 5th grader told a school friend with a burn, "Oh! You need emu oil for that and it won't hurt or leave a scar." Simply amazing, really!!

I'm 20 years old and have had psoriasis for about 7 years. I never found any lotions that would make my spots stop itching until my dad found this product about 3 years ago. It makes my days go by a lot better because I don't have to worry about being uncomfortable and itching all of the time. It has even helped clear some of the spots where I use it twice a day. I don't use any other lotions for my psoriasis now.
