Re: NV just started

[Guest guest]

I am glad you started today. Give it some time. A lot of parents stop it way

too early if they don't see dramatic changes right away. Time seems to really

play a huge part on the changes that can be seen with the nutriiveda. I have

had a crazy day but will forward the info that I received from Betty. I looked

for it on my I Pad but the emails are not showing up. I will check my desk too

this evening. Please let me know how the nutriiveda comes plus how the ABA is

going. Call anytime with questions or you need a lending ear. I am always home

by 9:00 in the evening and happy to help.

Take care,

Robin

this evening. I thought the scoop would be smaller. I hope it balances his

neurotransmitters. How long does it take to notice anything? I thought I read a

week or a month. I heard that you see surges even after months on it. I would be

thrilled if it mellows my son out. When he feels well I think he can handle

academics and therapy . Well I am thrilled to be starting . I am more excited to

start this than the Depakote we started last Oct.

We just ordered NV and can’t wait to receive it so we can try it for our

three year old. We started him on fish oils last week and he’s already had

some surges. I am hopeful NV will add to that.

im about to start nutriiveda for my 3 yr old, who has been covering his ears for

the past year or so (off and on). has anyone seen this in their apraxic kids and

has the NV helped??

That is my thought too….sensory issues. It sounds like your son is

hypersensitive to sounds. Hence why he may be covering his ears. Does he

receive OT? If so, discuss possible sensory dysfunction --SD(integration)

with the OT. Also, Carol Kranowitz has several great books on SD—The Out of

Sync Child, The Out of Sync Child Has Fun, Growing An In-Sync Child, and

more. www.sensoryworld.com has a great selection of her books and others.

thanks we are in ot and know that it has some to do with sensory overload.

however just wondering if NV has helped any kids with their sensory issues,

covering ears, or stimming?

Sharon sensory was one of the areas that I didn't think nutriiveda worked for

out of the huge list we did find surges in. For us it wasn't an area we saw

surges in right away like the rest. In fact if you check this page I didn't

even list it here!! http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html And can't recall

who asked but no doesn't take a month for most of us to see surges -most of us

do see dramatic surges in various areas within the first week -speaking in the

majority. But again sensory doesn't come up as much -or as quick. Most be a

logical explanation in a neurological sense in regards to why.

But may have something for sensory from me- the following archive message which

looking back is kind of funny. Kind of reminds me when I took my parrot to the

vet for a cough to have to pay the vet's medical bill to find out that Woodstock

had perfectly nailed down an incredible imitation of a cough!! (to my defense I

did ask prior to taking her in -do birds actually cough?!!) I can't remember but

think Woodstock laughed when I told her she made me waste money (what Woodstock

looks like

http://www.birdsofhonduras.com/photos/chosen/field%20work/Yellow-naped%20Amazon.\

Macaw%20Mountain.jpg ) And I'd have to check the archives to see if others have

noticed sensory issues -but again for us this was a notable sensory difference.

So please do share if you notice sensory changes as well.

Nutriiveda sensory issues and antibiotics

I just want to finally document this here as it's now happened over a week ago

and even though I've shared this with a number of you thought it's important to

share with all before I forget any details.

Two weekends ago my boys were invited over for a sleep over at the neighbor's

for their son's birthday. Since it's right next door sometime Saturday Tanner

came back prior to the party ending and asked me " Mommy if someone is sick and

they cough right in your face can you catch it? " (me) " You know that -of

course! Who coughed in your face?!! "

Well seems like one of the children there was sick but his mother (supposedly)

thought it was allergies...needless to say by Sunday night a number of the

children had sore throats -including Tanner.

Now this is the part that is very interesting. If you check the archives Tanner

is the type of child that will break his finger and it won't really hurt. He

once split his eyebrow open on a doorway because he used to close his eyes when

he smiled or laughed early on and the only one that I heard scream was Dakota.

He got a fishing hook stuck in his leg and had to have that taken out and

everyone at the hospital was shocked at how " brave " he was. My boys are rarely

sick but once apparently Tanner had quite a severe ear infection and the doctor

was in total disbelief that it didn't hurt Tanner at all. Kept saying " that

doesn't make sense " And same goes for sore throats. Tanner's sensory issues are

that he can somehow know something is hurt -but he doesn't feel pain like

others. Yes Tanner has sensory integration dysfunction -same child used to say

" ow " and flinch in pain if you tickled him or patted his head.

Up till that Sunday night in spite of the tremendous amount of surges we all

witnessed in Tanner which you can read here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html as well as in my letter- I did

not believe nutriiveda was helping with sensory issues -and nobody hear reported

it either that I can recall. In fact as you notice I don't mention sensory here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html . I thought that was the one area is

'didn't' help -and oh well -it helped just about everything else so I didn't

really care much.

I told Tanner he was staying home from school the next day (Monday) so I could

take him to his pediatrician. The next morning Tanner woke up and said " Mommy

my throat hurts so much even when I don't talk or don't swallow. It's really

hurting me " So I said " Oh no Tanner that sounds like strep throat " I mean I'm

taking his pain which he is saying is so severe and in my head thinking " wow it

must be really bad "

Of course his pediatrician knows about Tanner pain/sensory issues and examines

Tanner -looks at his throat which is red -hears the entire story and decides to

do the more advanced strep test which means we won't know till that Wednesday

-but wanted to start Tanner on antibiotics that day just in case based on his

own report.

Now we go into step 2 of observations. Tanner didn't read much over the weekend

as he had been so busy with friends -but he was still spotted carrying around

one of his books (always a new one now) and reading here and there. By the 2nd

day of antibiotics I noticed Tanner's speech got bumpy -which didn't happen when

he was first sick which in itself is very cool. And...he had completely stopped

reading his books. So once again I was back to asking him about reading

-something I had not had to do for months now.

" Tanner why aren't you reading? "

" I don't want germs on my books "

" You're on antibiotics so you're not contagious "

" I just don't feel like reading right now "

Late Wednesday we found out that Tanner did NOT have strep- and yet his throat

still " really really hurt " It was the kind of almost hyper pain he experienced

when I had first put him on vitamin e at the low dosage- very unusual. Even

though Tanner didn't have strep he wanted to continue his antibiotics which the

doctor said he didn't have to..the reason " because his throat really hurt " but I

had him stop taking them so he was off them as of Thursday (he was only put on a

5 day dose -and only 2 days left anyway)

All that week he did not read except when he had to read at school.

Tanner did not go back to where he was prior in both speech and wanting to read

again until the following Tuesday -for sure by Wednesday -almost one week after

being off antibiotics. I know that nutriiveda is not known to contradict any

medications -but I am not curious if antibiotics can contradict at least to a

point the ability for nutriiveda to work to it's full capacity. From what I can

tell there was a regression, not severe- but bumpy speech and not reading are

the two main things I noticed -and it lasted days after we stopped.

So just wanted to throw this out there as Tanner has been on nutriiveda now

solid since mid October and this new found sensory ability which is awesome we

only just noticed recently. So perhaps sensory takes longer to kick in? Also

just wanted to give everyone a head's up about antibiotics not to worry if there

is a slight regression while on them.

Tanner is fully back ON to above and beyond where he was before. Did I tell you

guys how much I LOVE nutriiveda??? Yes I'm back to listening to him speak and

thinking " wow that's a great sentence! " Even just thinking of him speak so

normally makes me smile.

Matt is not a huge sensory kid anymore but I would not be suprised if NV helped.

NV suprises me everyday. Good luck

chocolate in almond milk. He drank it well but left a little in the cup because

he drinks slow.

We just started Nutriiveda with our 5 year old son about 3 weeks ago. I give

him 1 scoop of vanilla in the morning and 1 scoop of chocolate in the evening

(in a syringe, he won't drink anything but water and I can't trick him by adding

it to his favorite foods). I hope mixing the flavors throughout the day is ok.

At first, he had such a surge. He went from being almost non verbal, saying

only a few sounds, to attempting to repeat anything we asked him. We were so

excited. And his receptive language increased as well. He followed directions

very well. His cheeks even got rosy.

But now, for the past few days, he seems distant, not giving us much eye

contact, and not trying to say as much. And his stimming increased. Could this

be a sort of regression before things get better again? I'm starting to get

really worried.

Thank you for any advice,

Nadia

It sounds like it was quite a sudden surge. I don't know about NV but my son who

has apraxia is on fish oils and some days he too seems to regress. My son's

speech pathologist said that when they are learning one thing they can regress

in another area. Kate
