Re: Re: Study on Nutriiveda/Happy Mother's Day!!

[Guest guest]

Eisser,

Your son's situation is very similar to my son and daughter.  It is different

from 's kids, who just have apraxia and no severe autism.  I have read

's book, and have given my kids fish oil, and other supplements recommended

by DAN.  I have not tried Nutriiveda yet but I doubt that it would work in my

kids' case or yours. 

I have a lot of respect for and the folks on this board but I just do not

think that the research that and her associates are working on has that

much relevance to severe autism.  I apologize if my honest opinion here offends

or any members on this board.

Actually, just today, I found another woman, who wrote a book that is more

relevant to your son's and my kids' situation and she is not keen on selling us

a supplement that has not been substantiated by research.

http://www.strangeson.com/

Apparently, her book has endorsed even by heavy-weight neurologists including

those in the group of Ivy league autism researchers in the URL below:

Hi Eisser and Happy Mother's Day!

Don't have time to go into all of this as like many have a fun day planned- but

just thought it would be good to mention mother like us, make food for our

family to eat, and that each ingredient in nutriiveda is 100 percent certified

food that is also made by a Mother, Mother Nature!

I do recommend sharing it with your child's doctor because too many of our kids

are put onto a medicine cabinet amount of supplements and the supplements in

nutriiveda are not added by man -but are from the whole foods which is the

purest form of supplementation. Many have found they can eliminate much of what

they are using (might I add that hasn't had the same dramatic results!) and just

use nutriiveda and fish oils outside of whatever is medical necessary. Or to

put it another way -nutriiveda is kind of like Carnation Instant Breakfast or

Pediasure if either of them could touch the formula of nutriiveda which in my

opinion and that of many experts I've spoken with (no way!). Many are still

afraid to give their children fish oils too (!!) but think it's cute to give a

preschool child their first french fry -which is one of the other reasons I

recommend knowledgeable health care professionals.

Please share the following with your child's doctor

http://pursuitofres earch.org/ NutriiVeda_ Information. pdf

And for theories behind why it's working

http://pursuitofres earch.org/ science.html

I can't say everything I know about research other than if you wish to wait for

that to try nutriiveda for your child it could be a few years. I highly

recommend not waiting!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of us and to Mother Nature too !!

,

I did read 's story.  However, my impression is that this is still a

rare anecdotal case.  If you have so much faith in Nutriiveda, I am wondering

why you have not convinced a mainstream neurology department of a major hospital

to organize a scientific placebo trial for you on the effective of Nutriiveda on

autism.  That is the right way for pursuit of research, if you would agree.

Mainstream neurologists normally write off all alternative treatment other than

fish oil as lack of scientific basis and not worth trying.  However, some has

warmed up to these ideas.  E.g., a major neurology department on the west coast

is organizing a placebo trial for B12 shots.

Also, I am wondering whether you have involved your developmental pediatrician

friend, Dr, Marilyn C. Agin, in having her patient try out Nutriiveda.

Anyway, I am not trying to be a " party pooper " but just to provide a fair and

balanced view for the parents on this board since all of them have gone through

a lot searching for a cure for our kids.

Xun we are all parents entitled to our opinions- but...you are making it

appear as if the only type child that has responded to nutriiveda is one with

apraxia and that is not true. There are not only success stories for children,

teens, adults with autism, TBI, seizures etc but there are have been success

stories for children with genetic disorders if you check the archives. And

because I have not written any details about research, and because you have not

viewed the survey- you can only state your viewpoint, not facts, so please don't

make it appear as if you know something you don't.

Some don't understand whole food nutrition- some of which I try to explain here

http://pursuitofres earch.org/ NutriiVeda_ Information. pdf or let their child

try it, that's their prerogative. Some people still feel that way about fish

oil. But why discourage another parent from looking into it? What did I write

Xun other than for her to share the info with her child's doctor? And what

makes you so sure your child or anyone else's child for that matter has severe

autism?

Did you read Ketchum's history?

....up till 17 years old various medical, speech, educational professionals all

over the US, including some fairly respected medical professionals diagnosed

Ketchum as autistic and mentally retarded. She was at the time of

starting nutriiveda twenty five years old, unable to feed, dress, bathe herself.

Essentially catatonic with little facial expression or ability to communicate.

She needed to be sedated to see a professional and wouldn't allow her sisters to

put make up on her or do her hair. Robin was unable to leave her side and had

to watch for any seizures as well because Mel had almost died twice of seizures

and was on high levels of Depakote. She had such severe headaches from her

seizures that she would hold her head and tears would just come down her face.

is not like my children who you state are the only type of children that

would respond to whole food nutrition/nutriived a We have over two hundred

children, teens and adults from our group on nutriiveda now. Were you aware of

that? In my opinion I'd consider Ketchum's situation quite severe -I'd

say most would. But the point is people make mistakes -professionals and

parents are people too. At 17 years old due to this group Robin learned about

apraxia and it was found out through further evaluations from more medical

professionals that was NOT autistic, nor mentally retarded and instead

had profound global apraxia and traumatic brain injury. The PA school system

was sued for abuse on behalf of who on top of her impairments also

developed post traumatic stress from the inappropriate therapy and placements

(ABA for example) and the Ketchum family won on Mel's behalf.

Twenty five years of silence and no progress after numerous methods were

attempted including off label adult medication for Alzheimer's which some

parents of autistic children don't seem to question...and no progress. THREE

MONTHS (not years) of nutriiveda has brought not just a voice -but a

life back...and not once but twice as if you took the time to read her blog and

background http://littlemermai dmelanie. wordpress. com/about Mel's background

http://littlemermai dmelanie. wordpress. com/about Most recent blog messages

Clearly based on how quickly she has responded to nutriiveda, how within months

she was able to sit at the kitchen table and discuss with Robin her dreams for

the future...there was something maybe really simple missing from Mel's diet.

So what if another parent read your message who has a child like and

instead of trying nutriiveda which is simple and inexpensive to TRY- they got

that book written by a woman who is 'not keen on selling you a supplement' Oh

yes I'm sure they all work for free. And again -food doesn't always need

research to prove it's necessary to our bodies as it's not electroshock therapy-

which BETTER (try) to back up it's abuse with " research " . I wrote about why

essential amino acids are important for our bodies- I didn't make that up -it's

well known. http://pursuitofres earch.org/ science.html

And speaking of credible doctors writing papers to support electroshock for

autism -I just posted one here by some autism doctors who state the reasons for

electroshock. ..and there are medical doctors recommending off label adult

medications for children too. Again if you are going to use possible dangerous

or life threatening means to possibly try to help a child -you BETTER have solid

clinical research behind it. And even more important in today's research you

probably have a huge pharmaceutical company behind you to help fund the

research. But do you have to have solid clinical research behind eating an

apple? Yes...and in that same light you can find solid clinical research for

each food in nutriiveda- because again it's nutrition from whole foods. But a

clinical study using fish oil or any other food is much harder to secure funding

in today. And we've tried. I mean I've been around this block more than once

and know there STILL isn't good

clinical research to show the importance of fish oils for our group of

children...but fish oils are working - there's no money from Mother Nature as

our Moms always told us money doesn't grow on trees.

And I get it Xun -I talked to one parent who spent in her own words a million

dollars on trying everything in the world for her autistic son who by the way

has had success with nutrivieda. So perhaps nutriiveda is some sort of threat

to not that mom -but to some who feel -how can it be that easy?

How many sailors died of scurvy prior to them learning all that was needed was

vitamin C...or an orange? Did some have to go through blood letting or whatever

" medical " means back then that failed? And what about Dr. Withering's life long

goal to find out why the witches brew cured that woman with heart disease only

to find out it was the herb fox glove which to this day is still better than any

man made drug for that particular heart condition?

http://www.historyo fscience. com/articles/ jmnorman- william-witherin g.php

isn't autistic but you are again 100 percent wrong in stating that

nutriiveda is not having an affect on those diagnosed with autism based on

feedback here even -there are possibly more with autism than apraxia on

nutriiveda doing really well actually! Or perhaps autism and apraxia -have to

check the survey. I am getting calls from doctors (Dan included) who work with

autistic children who are seeing the dramatic results in their patients and are

as shocked as anyone else. And again -up till 17 was considered so

severe autistic and MR that in Robin's words most 'gave up hope on her' And who

is to say since wasn't diagnosed appropriately up till 17 years old that

there are some of you reading this right now with a child diagnosed with autism

that is not progressing. ..and like Mel not because the autism is so

severe...but because it's a misdiagnosis?

It's up to each of us what we feed our children- I have no issues with whole

foods, fish oils...and while yes there will most certainly be research to

validate one does NOT need clinical research before they order dinner at a

restaurant or drink a protein shake! Or most I know anyway. The most logical

thing to me would be to try nutriiveda and come back and post here how it did or

didn't work for your child with autism or whatever the diagnosis. As a healthy

food -nutriiveda is showing strong results in 9 out of 10 children based on the

survey results, and again no...not all the children have just apraxia.

I don't know how many other ways to say this -nutriiveda is not a drug, it's a

food. Our nonprofit is selling it at our cost and using it as a fundraiser but

you are free to buy it from Chopra and pay more. Water it down and it's a

protein shake with an ayurvedic twist formulated by world renowned medical

doctors. I'm not sharing what I know about any upcoming research so as not to

compromise anything but let's just say I'll be happy a few years from now.

In addition to the testimonies posted here -and Mel's blog -you can read more

testimonies here and as you will read some of them are for children with autism

and other issues as well.

http://pursuitofres earch.org/ testimonials. html

Again hope all had a Happy Mother's Day and again thankful for Mother Nature so

Happy Mother's Day to Mother Nature as well!

just thought i would share my story about another subject, my husband. he has

ITP (CHRONIC autoimmune where his antibodies attack his platelets). he was out

of remission for 4 years----during that time, he had LOTS of mainstream

treatments such as a spleenectomy (which he nearly DIED from---given 48 hrs to

live at one point in ICU), rituxin treatments, steroids, n-plate (new injection

treatments), and i could go on and on....ALL failed!!! he got tired of being on

ALL these drugs for over 4 years---turned to an alternative dr who put him on

supplements and within a month---his platelets went UP to NORMAL for the first

time in 4 years!!! now, he went back to his hemotologist and of course he threw

his hands up in the air and REFUSES to believe it COULD have been from the

herbs!!! i just don't understand WHY people are SO against HERBS, etc. there

will NEVER be much SCIENTIFIC research behind herbs b/c the pharmaceutical

companies will never FUND research for it b/c its not a PHARM DRUG!!! it all

goes back to the $$.....sad to say, but its true!!! i just don't understand WHY

some people are so CLOSED minded. i bet if you did research---how many people

have DIED from trying nutriiveda???? how many people have DIED from a

pharmaceutical DRUG? hmmmmm....... if you look at kids with autism who try the

DAN protocol----MOST of them respond to the supplements, diet, etc!!! i think i

would MUCH rather try the diet, supplement route than to put my kid on RISPERDOL

for autism!! i think our society is WAY over medicated these days!! again,

just MY opinion. kim

I believe that Drs. Chopra & Simon will be doing research but it takes a while

to get started & finished. Research takes years to complete & publish!

I have both my typical kids on NV. I did NOT wait for research on it to give it

to them b/c:

1. NV is a food! It is made from whey isolate protein, brown rice, and

botanicals/spices (which are common in Indian cooking).

2. It's MUCH healthier than Pediasure, Boost, Carnation Instant b-fast, etc.

3. I can feel the difference in myself when I don't drink it 2x/day. I had Lyme

last summer & a torn cartilage in my knee. We went on vacation a few wks ago & I

only drank it once a day. By the time we returned home my knee was bothering me.

Now I'm back on it 2x/day & feeling much better.

4. My family has noticed positive changes in my son--in his attn since starting

it & noticed a decrease when he was off it.

5. I have several clients in my private practice that are using it & ALL are

seeing positive results in sp-language!

6. The company offers a money back guarantee so even if u return it, u would

only be out s/h + tax.

7. It offers a complete amt of vitamins/minerals w/in the foods--nothing is

added.

I agree w/others; I don't ask my ped if my kids can eat a banana or cheese

crackers so I didn't ask about NV either. . It's definitely healthier than

cheese crackers! My 2 cents.

is to say since wasn't diagnosed appropriately up till 17 years old that

there are some of you reading this right now with a child diagnosed with autism

that is not progressing. ..and like Mel not because the autism is so

severe...but because it's a misdiagnosis?

It's up to each of us what we feed our children- I have no issues with whole

foods, fish oils...and while yes there will most certainly be research to

validate one does NOT need clinical research before they order dinner at a

restaurant or drink a protein shake! Or most I know anyway. The most logical

thing to me would be to try nutriiveda and come back and post here how it did or

didn't work for your child with autism or whatever the diagnosis. As a healthy

food -nutriiveda is showing strong results in 9 out of 10 children based on the

survey results, and again no...not all the children have just apraxia.

I don't know how many other ways to say this -nutriiveda is not a drug, it's a

food. Our nonprofit is selling it at our cost and using it as a fundraiser but

you are free to buy it from Chopra and pay more. Water it down and it's a

protein shake with an ayurvedic twist formulated by world renowned medical

doctors. I'm not sharing what I know about any upcoming research so as not to

compromise anything but let's just say I'll be happy a few years from now.

In addition to the testimonies posted here -and Mel's blog -you can read more

testimonies here and as you will read some of them are for children with autism

and other issues as well.
