> I can not believe it has been 5 months since began her journey with

Nutriiveda. The life changing difference that have taken place in the last 5

months have turned our life around in a way we never dreamed possible. Not just

our lives, but Nutriiveda has completely change the way my husband and I are

thinking in regards to 's future.

> Last year this time was a very difficult time for . She needed our

assistance, mainly mine, for basic life skills like dressing and eating, didn't

communicate much if at all in spite of any therapies we tried, and we didn't

know if there was any hope in sight even though we never gave up. I prayed each

night she laid her had on the pillow to go to sleep not knowing if it was the

last time I'd see her alive as she had almost died of seizures and we never knew

when the next big one was coming. In addition she suffered so severely from

post traumatic stress syndrome from the years of inappropriate therapy and

placement when she had been misdiagnosed as autistic. We didn't even know if we

would be able to keep her in our home due to her home due to her extreme PTSD

issues -I can't believe I'm expressing this here, this was a worst fear of mine

I hid from most. But I feel I can be honest and share because life is so good

now and we are thankful. Last year feels like a bad dream now even though I

know that it wasn't just last year, it was most of Mel's life. But we can't

look back much as there is so much to look forward to today thanks to

nutriiveda. Who would have thought some of the most dramatic success she would

ever have could be so simple?

> Last I wrote Mel had gone through so much, another misdiagnosis as Mel still

is seizure free and had pneumonia , myopathies from too much Depakote in her

system which is all over now. A miracle our daughter is. continues to

remain completely healed from those illnesses that almost took her life once

again without showing any physical or emotional signs of the very scary times in

the ICU. healed in 3 weeks oppose to the 6 to 8 months time frame that

we were given upon discharge of the hospital.

> is happy today and she too is feeling like there is hope for her

future.

> I have learned so much in the past year. Especially in the last 5 months. I

feel I have become a better advocate for my daughter. Every time I learn

something it is like another piece of 's puzzle is getting completed. I

shared with you the last time that we were going to take to see a DAN

doctor. After several conversations with the one specific DAN doctor that we

had an appointment with, I quickly canceled her appointment as without me

knowing this person she was already looking to charge thousands of dollars and

have me sign a six month contract. I had shared Mel's background with this

person and she actually recommended ABA therapy! The very therapy that had been

linked to Mel's PTSD. I asked this DAN " Do you remember my daughter's history? "

Clearly she didn't bother to read Mel's blog even though it had been shared with

her. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but my husband and I truly

felt that we needed to have an appt. with one of the doctors who helped

developed the Nutriiveda product as that had been such a focal point of success

for Mel- and we just don't know why. I was able to get an appt. with Dr. Tom
