Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi Becky -  Just had to respond - one kid with sensory issues (that his PT has said are the worst she's ever seen in all her years of practicing!) is more than quite enough (although my shrink says I actually have two special needs kids - Josh and my ex! LOL!). I feel for ya with all you've got! As everyone says to me - hang in there, so I'm passing it on to you - HANG IN THERE!!  Good luck with the NV! I'm waiting for my shipment (just ordered it Sunday afternoon). Can't wait to see how it affects Josh with the sensory stuff as well, let alone all the other possibilities. Let us know how it goes!!!  Sherry and Josh From: tbniesh@... <tbniesh@...> Subject: [ ] Nutriiveda Date: Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 12:23 AM  Hey --- and all-- I just ordered 1 month's supply of Nutriiveda! I'm ready to try and see if this is something that will work for any of my guys. I know there's been a lot of talk about the price of it all, and I would have to concur that if this does what so many say it does, it's worth it, but I must add that it's worth it in theory to me at this point. What do I mean? Well, most people don't have more than 1-2 people that they would be buying Nutriiveda for, and right now I have FIVE Special Needs children (just got more Dx today making it 5 not 4) Right now, all 5 need special therapies in some way or fashion. The costs of those alone are astounding, and the cost of the extra therapies that actually WORK are even worse, then add in nutritional supplements, and now nutriiveda, you can imagine I'm ready to go bankrupt. (not to mention the actual medical costs for medicines that are necessary for the asthma for 1, and juvenile diabetes for another etc) anyway-- so for those that say it's not all that much, try multiplying it by 5 kids with issues, or funding for 10 people to be on it, and you'll understand my hesitancy. One thing I am quite concerned about, I admit, is the effect on SENSORY. After reading other people's experience, I am almost scared poopless, because all 5 boys have Sensory issues, and most of them very seriously affected by it to the point that they have daily problems with it. (meltdowns, flight or fight, etc) If this gets worse, I might commit murder on a child or two-- so let's pray it doesn't!!! lol I admit-- I'm overwhelmed right about now Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey Becky!! YAY!!!! I'm so glad you finally are trying nutriiveda!!! Don't worry about sensory- it's not an area that nutriiveda affects right away- the areas of surges typically within just a few days on Nutriiveda: SPEECH articulation, complexity and sophistication of sentence structure LANGUAGE better understanding of written and spoken word, development of better reading and writing skills ACADEMICS/LEARNING reported surges in all areas of school FINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS also multi tasking SENSE OF HUMOR both catching subtle humor and wanting to make others laugh-joking around AWARENESS OF SURROUNDINGS (for autism) reported following gaze and more interactions FACIAL EXPRESSIONS more non-verbal communication, for oral apraxia more expressions instead of blank stares when not engaged in conversation FOCUS on task, more willing to listen and try MULTI TASKING (for apraxia as this is something typically not done or done well) SOCIAL wanting to participate with others via play and communication MOOD reported seems " happier " for a number DEVELOPMENTAL CATCHING UP for those that never went through stages -reportedly going through them for the first time. DECREASE IN SEIZURES so far in several cases elimination of any seizures and headaches and decrease in seizure meds as well IMAGINATIVE PLAY increase in imaginative play and story telling http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html Tanner did appear to have surges in his ability to feel pain as you know from the sore throat story (for those that don't know Tanner -he broke his finger once and can calmly talk about it -shocked the ER docs -but it used to hurt him if someone tickled him softly or patted his head) What you 'may' be reading about and fearful of is the initial surges sometimes also bring temporary increased behavioral issues. My theory on that is that since the essential amino acids help so much in the production of the neurotransmitters and areas of the brain that were once dormant are not firing that it's just getting all the kinks out so to speak. So again here is a great testimony which sums up that temporary stage...as Teri now says -she doesn't even want to mention it but I'm so glad she did! from Hmurph101@... to testimonials@... date Fri, May 21, 2010 at 11:55 AM subject Thank You I must be honest and say that I was cautious in purchasing the Nutriiveda for my daughter, because the testimonies sounded almost too good to be true. Now, I am happy to be able to add my testimony to the growing list of parents and say that it has been an answer to prayer. We adopted our daughter from Ukraine when she was 2 years old. She is now 10 years old and after many years of therapy, she has been able to do well in school, but can't remember the material we have studied once a test is over. She has struggled and we have spent most days going over and over the same material just to keep up. Up until she started taking the Nutriiveda, we studied continuously. She just couldn't grasp what I would tell her and she was unable to understand the " why " questions or infer what a passage was saying. Her teacher even commented that even though she made good grades, it would be very difficult for her in the 4th grade.Well, that has all changed now. The week before we started the Nutriiveda, the class started doing fourth grade reading to prepare for the fourth grade. She made a 48, 56, and 66 on her reading grades. Instantly, after starting the Nutriiveda, her grades changed to 100's and she " understood " what she was reading. She now has an " A " in reading. Infact, without the excessive studying, her lowest grade in all subjects this past 2 weeks has been a 94. Another great improvement has been in her speech. She didn't start putting words together until she was almost 5 years old. She put sentences together when she was 7 years old. She continues to take speech therapy, but has had a problem with syntax. I can tell without a doubt that her speech has improved with the Nutriiveda. With so many positive things to report, I hesitate to even mention that it did seem to cause her to be hyper and jumpy the first week. We didn't give up using the Nutriiveda and now her disposition is back to normal.. She will now even admit that her mind feels sharper and last night we only had to study for her history test 30 minutes rather than days. This morning, I went over a few questions for history and I could tell that she remembered everything we had studied and it covered 40 pages. I am normally cautious when I read reports such as mine, but I would like to encourage parents to just give this a chance. This is the first time I have ever replied on a website. Please forgive my wordiness, but I am just so excited. It is like all the hard work our daughter has done over the years is now coming together in a wonderful way! THANK YOU LISA GENG and MR. BILL FARLEY! Please keep up the good work! Teri http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 We will be scheduling our initial visit with Dr. soon. I've read over everything, and I want to know if Nutriiveda is allowed since it contains whey protein isolate. Just curious. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 I started my son on a half dose and gave it to him after breakfast or lunch, so on top of his normal eating. He did gain 2 lbs in 3 weeks and another lb in the next 3 weeks. (and is right that he had only gained 2 lbs from 24 mo-36mo) I only recently upped him to full dose. Be sure to encourage him to drink, juice and milk is fine...I cut my son's juice with water. And we have water drinking contests. He now prefers water to milk and juice and sodas. It's the amount of liquid that goes in. NV flushes toxins out of the body and it's important to rehydrate.

Typically however with direct sales companies there isn't an option to purchase the product at the distributor cost. Also if any of us tried to recreate the same exact product -just finding an all natural casein free whey alone would cost you more than all that is in NV which is SO much more! It's an expensive product for sure. But when it comes to nutrients you get what you pay for. I just sent out a message last night to anyone using any supplement make sure they are tested free of heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides as they have found that is a huge issue for OTC supplements. Nutriiveda is not only tested pure of all of the above -but again carries with it the strongest endorsement in the industry. It's highest quality you can find and again cheaper than if we tried to recreate it. I know because some have already looked into that if God forbid they stopped making it! > > Nutriiveda is just food it's not a diet product. It was launched as a weight management product for marketing reasons by Zrii (who is run by a solid billionaire who has been a billionaire since the 80s Bill Farley http://www.meetbillfarley.com ) because obesity in both children and adults is at epidemic proportions as is type 2 diabetes etc. Bill doesn't need the money or stress- sometimes people do things to help the public but we are skeptical as a public. I have had the pleasure of meeting Bill Farley a few times now and I know there will be research to validate what we are seeing. Until then the company can't talk about it-but I am allowed to and yes all there including the MDs behind it http://pursuitofresearch.org/advisors.html (like Bill those that don't need money from this!!) are aware of what we are seeing. > > But again the product is just food. There are no drugs in it, no caffeine in it, there is nothing in it but all the essential amino acids and nutrients from whole food sources to support the metabolic system -so if one needs to lose excess fat and toxins they will. If one needs to gain weight and muscle they will. That's the difference between working with food rather than supplements or drugs -balance from whole foods. > > Below are just a handful of updates where the person shared the weight gain in the child on the same product that the parent lost weight on in many cases. We are also seeing and I can attest to this...miracle-gro type growth surges in height. Yes all these kids would grow anyway -but it's within a month of starting no matter what age. > > Liam discovers his inner Brittish > > We're seeing incredible gains with Liam. Took him to his DAN doc on Monday and she not only approved using NV (after verifying with me that the botanicals weren't tainted in any way and the whey was casein-free), but agreed with taking Liam off of the multivitamin (Vitaspectrum) she had put him on, adding only an extra Folate + B12 supplement and zinc, since blood work showed he is low in these things. She remarked on how much healthier he looks - no longer has translucent skin, lots of color in his face. Liam has also grown 1 1/2 inches and gained 3 lbs. He seems happier, and no longer begs to stay home from preschool. Still more attentive and engaged. Asking WHAT questions (had never done before) and speaking in more complex sentences. He is even imitating the British accent the Pig family has on Peppa Pig! too cute! His imaginative play has increased, including - and this was a big one we thought - bonding with one of his stuffed animals and actually naming it. He has never cared about stuffed animals before - ever. He has carried this one around with him now for 3 days and sleeps holding onto it. He puts it in his wagon and wheels it around the house, and it plays games and watches DVDs with him, too. We are thrilled! He is sleeping deeper/longer/better. His appetite, which has always been good, is even better. We are so very pleased! > > As for me - I've lost about 15 lbs., my energy level is great, I'm sleeping better, and my head is much clearer - not sure exactly how to describe what has happened, but I've felt so foggy for so many years that I've not even been able to recall the words to songs that I hear over and over. Maybe processing speed of some sort? At any rate, that has resolved, too. > > I wish I understood exactly what it is in NV that is helping my son and me so very much, but whatever it is its making me feel better than I have in years, and it's clearly making a big difference for our son, which everyone has noticed and remarked on! > > Dianne > > dwvic@... > Hi , > > Should we add the info about the NV is given as extra snacks or replacing a > meal?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I now mix it really thick in water and give it to her through a syringe. She will take it that way. She now knows that it keeps her from itching all over (no more eczema or dermalgraphism so far), so she knows it is worth it! Meyer [ ] Re: Nutriiveda It's so funny you just sent this -I just sent the following over for our pursuitofresearch.org webmaster to put up a new page as it appears some need more suggestions than what we have up on the FAQ page http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html#serve (where we share by the way you don't have to just mix NV in drink -can be mixed in food as well) Here's the first draft and probably by the end of the weekend we'll have the new page up to refer people to. If anyone reading this has more suggestions to add please let me know! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~new page going up on how to serve nutriiveda We have included the information from our FAQ page here, but expanded this with even more suggestions on how to serve nutriiveda! How do I serve the NutriiVeda? NutriiVeda (or NV as it's called in our group) is being used therapeutically and it appears to be dosage dependant based on anecdotal feedback from parents. You can serve it as a drink with a small meal, or you can mix it into food. For older children, teens and adults that need to lose weight NutriiVeda can be used to support weight as well as therapeutic goals. The following are some suggestions as to how to serve the NutriiVeda. As a drink: NutriiVeda can be mixed with any type of milk, juice, or water. You do not want to add it to any liquid that is boiling however as that may compromise the effectiveness. Some parents add ice and even ice cream and make it into a smoothie. You can also mix the product with any type of fruit or fruit juice and make a smoothie this way as well. baby eating cake NutriiVeda has also been mixed into any food such as yogurt, pudding, apple sauce, ketchup, ranch dressing and even frosting! Some parents have sprinkled it over pancakes or cereal including oatmeal. You can also take the smoothies and freeze them into popsicles! Just as you do not want to mix the product with any liquid that Is boiling, you do not want to cook with NutriiVeda. You can add to food once cooked once it is luke warm. If the above simple suggestions did not work for your child we have a few other suggestions. The first question to you however is what does your child like to eat or drink? It's best to start there and try to find ways to incorporate NV into your child's favorites! Nutriiveda provides all the essential amino acids and nutrients from whole food nutrition, the purest form, in a 100 percent natural, water soluble, GFCF, fat, sodium, caffeine free food that only has two grams of organic sugar per scoop as we share here http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html We should remember that children will gravitate towards foods that are high in sugar, sodium and fat. This is creating an epidemic as you can see in this segment based on a new study by the Trust for America's Health and the Wood Foundation on the health and obesity concern for a growing number of children http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9IKmwYv7uQ So how do we get children to 'like' something that is fat and sodium free and very low in sugar?!! Easy -mix a bit at a time of it in to what they like to start! If you find your child likes the ice pops as many do, try making smoothies mixed with lots of ice so it's super thick! Good oral motor exercise too!! Have your child use a straw not only due to oral motor exercise which is good in itself -but will make it harder to taste the drink. When initially making the shakes or Popsicles " doctor them up " a bit with food tastes the child does like and is used to (such as Nesquick which has fat, salt and 2 types of sugars) Again keep in mind as NV a powder you aren't limited to drinks and pudding. You can take the dosage you wish to serve your child for the day and put it aside in a baggie and sprinkle it bit by bit into food or drink throughout the day-just sprinkle a little in bit by bit. Nutriiveda is being reported to work across the board an dramatically in most cases. http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html Too well to not try to figure out something! Most don't think of mixing NV powder into for example spaghetti or cheese sauce to serve as either spaghetti and meatballs or mac and cheese but as long as the sauce is luke warm (not boiling) when you mix in nutrriveda powder you shouldn't compromise the essential amino acids in the powder. And think about it, who is going to serve their young child food that is piping or boiling hot?! On the same angle there are all type of sandwiches such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (nutriiveda mixed into the peanut butter and/or jelly) or even sprinkled on top of pizza. In these cases instead of looking to compliment the flavor of nutriiveda you are looking for flavors that are so strong the child shouldn't even notice the bit of nutriiveda mixed or sprinkled in or on. In all cases the NV powder should absorb right away into the heavy grease on pizza or the sauce used in their food. I too notice that people both parents and children tend to gravitate in general to one flavor, chocolate or vanilla over the other. You may know for example your child prefers chocolate, but you ran out and only have vanilla (or vice versa) you can find a creative way to mix in the other flavor where your child wouldn't notice. Keep in mind for example vanilla nutriiveda has the cinnamon in it- so when mixed with Cinnabon or apple pie type foods, and there are a few out there, the child shouldn't notice. For the chocolate if you wanted to try the frosting idea, you don't have to mix nutriiveda into a glob of regular frosting. You can mix water, nutriiveda and some regular store bought frosting or instead Nesquik or Hershey syrup and spread that as a chocolate " frosting " over chocolate chip pancakes, brownies, or make a peanut butter and chocolate sandwich etc. On the same dessert end it's been suggested to mix nutriiveda into whipped cream or cool whip which you can find in regular or chocolate flavor. You can then put the NV/whipped cream on just about anything, cake, pie, fruit, hot chocolate, even their noses! Below are some tips from the Mayo clinic you can perhaps pull from.

Consider these strategies to avoid power struggles and help the picky eater in your family eat a balanced diet. By Mayo Clinic staff Has your preschooler refused to eat anything other than peanut butter sandwiches for the past two days? Or would your toddler rather play than eat anything at all? If children's nutrition is a sore topic in your household, you're not alone. Many parents worry about what their children eat - and don't eat. However, most kids get plenty of variety and nutrition in their diets over the course of a week. Until your child's food preferences mature, consider these tips for preventing mealtime battles. 1. Respect your child's appetite - or lack of one Young children tend to eat only when they're hungry. If your child isn't hungry, don't force a meal or snack. Likewise, don't bribe or force your child to clean his or her plate. This may only ignite - or reinforce - a power struggle over food. 2. Stick to the routine Serve meals and snacks at about the same times every day. Nix juice, milk and snacks for at least one hour before meals. If your child comes to the table hungry, he or she may be more motivated to eat. 3. Be patient with new foods Young children often touch or smell new foods, and may even put tiny bits in their mouths and then take them back out again. Your child may need repeated exposure to a new food before he or she takes the first bite. Encourage your child by talking about a food's color, shape, aroma and texture - not whether it tastes good. 4. Make it fun Serve broccoli and other veggies with a favorite dip or sauce. Cut foods into various shapes with cookie cutters. Offer breakfast foods for dinner. 5. Recruit your child's help At the grocery store, ask your child to help you select fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. Don't buy anything that you don't want your child to eat. At home, encourage your child to help you rinse veggies, stir batter or set the table. 6. Set a good example If you eat a variety of healthy foods, your child is more likely to follow suit. 7. Be sneaky Add chopped broccoli or green peppers to spaghetti sauce, top cereal with fruit slices, or mix grated zucchini and carrots into casseroles and soups. 8. Minimize distractions Turn off the television during meals, and don't allow books or toys at the table. 9. Don't offer dessert as a reward Withholding dessert sends the message that dessert is the best food, which may only increase your child's desire for sweets. You might select one or two nights a week as dessert nights, and skip dessert the rest of the week - or redefine dessert as fruit, yogurt or other healthy choices. 10. Don't be a short order cook Preparing a separate meal for your child after he or she rejects the original meal may encourage your child's picky eating. Keep serving your child healthy choices until they become familiar and preferred. If you're concerned that picky eating is compromising your child's growth and development or if certain foods make your child ill, consult your child's doctor. In the meantime, remember that your child's eating habits won't likely change overnight - but the small steps you take each day can help promote a lifetime of healthy eating. © 1998-2010 Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER).

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I just wanted to share that I started my 2 1/2 year old son on nutriveda and more than a month went by with no obvious surges or changes. I, too, was thinking (hoping) that this meant his strong diet already provided him these things (or better yet, maybe he didn't have apraxia after all). The very same day that we took him to a developmental pediatrician (who said she thought he did NOT have apraxia) we gave him an extra dose of nutriveda because he was over-tired and begging for his " chocolate milk " ...and THAT SAME NIGHT we saw incredible surges in his sentence length, grammar and articulation. it was INCREDIBLE! At 32 lbs I thought 1 scoop would suffice but I guess he needed 1 1/2-2 scoops. Just wanted to share with those who may be questioning whether its working! > [ ] Re: Nutriiveda > > > > > Janel (new research mom you changed the variable. > > You were not supposed to stop fish oils as they are essential fatty acids that your child was already on and different than what is in nutriiveda which is all the essential amino acids and nutrition from whole foods. You can't stop fish oils, start nutriiveda and wait 12 days then add fish oils back see a surge and know what is from what. If you had been consistent with the fish oil dosage and just 'added' nutriiveda to the diet as well...and then saw nothing that would be different. > > It would be different if your child wasn't on any fish oils and then you started nutriiveda as there are many children on NV alone - that's fine. > > My suggestion for your next step of " research " is to stop the nutriiveda -put your child back on the fish oils which I think you did- wait a few weeks....THEN 'add' nutriiveda and see if you notice anything.

Add to that the toxins that are just part of our world as we all live on planet Earth. Also it is highly unusual to get ALL of the essential amino acids in a meal no matter how healthy you eat -which is another aspect that makes nutriiveda unique. It's not just healthy and clean, there are many theories as to why it's working. http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html > > Try not to change any other variable when you start nutriiveda (or NV as known here) when possible.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I will try going back to only fish oil then add the NV. I thought that I had read here to give the child one thing at a time, that was why I stopped the fish oil when I started NV. It would be interesting if our healthy way of eating does make a difference (is it possible that our children are not deficient in vitamins?) Soil nutrients are depleted by Industrialized farming. I know that our backyard was never farmed industrially. All of our veggies are 100% organic, fertilized with the peelings and leftovers of our previously eaten 100% organic veggies. Our garden is HUGE..it gets bigger every year and we can it for the winter. The kids eat it all because they grew it and that makes it fun. The kids garden expanded this year to over 200 square feet. That is their responsibility to plant, harvest and maintain. They love it! We started a small garden years ago for fun then my health declined. When I finally found a doctor who did the appropriate tests and discovered that I had 4 autoimmune diseases I started doing a lot of reading. I started eating better for myself then asked myself why am I feeding my kids packaged food when I won't eat it? We all eat that way now. Just because we eat healthy doesn't mean my kids don't get treats. I bake cookies and other things; it has been years since we have bought packaged cookies filled with preservatives. We also make our own chips, sliced potatoes in hot olive oil and lightly salted. They are a pain to make but they are soooo good.

If you had been consistent with the fish oil dosage and just 'added' nutriiveda to the diet as well...and then saw nothing that would be different. It would be different if your child wasn't on any fish oils and then you started nutriiveda as there are many children on NV alone - that's fine. My suggestion for your next step of " research " is to stop the nutriiveda -put your child back on the fish oils which I think you did- wait a few weeks....THEN 'add' nutriiveda and see if you notice anything.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I think the suggestion has been not to start fish oil and NV at the same time but if they are already on fish oil then add the NV or vice versa. I did the newbie thing of starting my son on fish oils (the highest dose) and NV at almost the same time and I think it was a bit much. I ended up cutting back on the fish oils and proceeding with the NV. I have a 3 year old and a 2 year old both now. With my three year old he made big surges at first but my 2 year old took awhile to really surge. With the NV, I noticed he was calmer but not much language explosion until I added fish oils with it. The two just seem to work together well for my kids.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 At what point is it recommended we " up " the dosage? I have been giving my 33 month old son 1 scoop for 6 days... haven't noticed anything with his speech... My son has been on fish oils for 3 weeks now... My doctor ok'd NV, but I was wondering about all the protein in it... my son is not underweight and as I am not using NV to replace a meal, just wondering if it will cause weight gain?

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 I believe at 3 they are recommending 2 scoops. I too was worried about weight gain as my son is 28 month and is 48 lbs. I think it is causing my son to eat less and it seemed to help his loose stools that he has had for months; although not completely normal. I've seen some awesome improvements although I'm not sure that some of them wouldn't happen without nv. Anyway he is only on one scoop but I have not seen any unusual weight gain and the food control seems better like 'knowing' he is full.
