Nutriveda questions (from a new user)

[Guest guest]

Dear Family :-)

I'll add my input, but can tell you better once she reads your email

:-)

My son is 2 1/2 and he is just over 26 lbs, probably abut 28, but

will tell you, it doesn't really matter how much he weighs. Cale (my son) takes

one heaping scoop of NV a day and that's very appropriate for his age. I

BELIEVE that goes through age 3, though will correct me if I'm wrong. I

do know that you can't really take TOO much of it, as the body just gets

rid of what it doesn't need. Also, warned me of a period of about a

week of the hyper, crazy behavior. Lucky for us, we didn't experience it, but

it sounds like you are and so hopefully you are nearing the end of it! Let

me know if you have any other questions that you think I might be able to

answer, but is a wealth of knowledge and can answer ANYTHING,

seriously, she's awesome :-)

Hi (or any one else who wants to add in their input)

I have a couple of questions re: Nutriveda please...

My son is newly 3 and about 26 lbs... how much Nutriveda should he be

taking in per day?

I started him on a very tiny amount (less than half a scoop) a week ago

and I have noticed he is much more emotional, cranky, easily set off and I

would describe it as " his nerves are on the outside " ... and he seems to want

to crash, bang, be more physical than ever. He seems to be reverting to

some of his negative behaviors and handling of emotions that we (me and his EI

team) have worked so hard to get rid of. His sleep has not improved either.

How long does this generally last? What is causing this sensitivity from

the Nutriveda? Please someone give me some information or hope that it will

fade as it is hard to not want to quit...

Thanks so much,

The Family

Hope it's OK if I answer this from an archive as it's come up many times before

both now with nutriiveda/NV and fish oils. In both cases this stage is

temporary and the choice is to reduce and increase water, or most go full steam

ahead and it's over in about a week. As you will read below however not all the

kids go through this stage.

There could be more than one reason for the stage your child is in. On is many

of our special needs children do not go through developmentally important stages

and once on proper nutrition their bodies go through normal and healthy

developmental stages that some parents view as " bad " these stages include but

not limited to teething or " terrible twos " ... stages that are typically viewed

in younger children but that the child goes through later. Also nutriiveda is

dosage dependent and hydration is also important. You want to be using a full

scoop and making sure your child is getting enough liquid (a quick idea of how

much is take body weight and divide in half and that's about the amount of

liquid) I highly recommend you find a professional to work with as most parents

today are more fearful of natural whole foods than the KFC Double Down...or

genetically altered foods....or even (OMG) sticking their children on DRUGS that

are for adults that have side effects to knock out the liver of an elephant.

Nutriiveda is just food- whole food. It's the cleanest and probably healthiest

food you will ever feed your child and all the nutrients are from whole foods

and the entire product is water soluble. Working with a medical or nutritional

professional I believe parents can feel better about giving their child

something that is not made by Kraft, Nabisco, Mc s, Pfizer, Novartis...but

made instead by Mother Nature.

On a full dosage this stage lasts about a week but not knowing if you have

enough hydration and not using the correct dosage it would be difficult to say

how long it will last other than it's been reported to be temporary -typically

about a week.

Here are some theories as to why there may be changes in behavior from the

archives:

Nutriiveda question

Hi Marni,

Wow it goes well beyond acting calmer for my ADHD son who has for most of his 15

years been on mega dosages of fish oils -and as I pointed out nutriiveda does

not replace fish oils but compliments it tremendously. Dakota is light years

more focused, communicative -and not only calmer -but 2 nights ago when we had

family over for a dinner party...without asking he helped me clear the table and

actually spent time sitting and talking with his elderly Aunt and Uncle. Again

light years difference in maturity -getting homework done early...and grades

solid high 90s. The only time I see any old behaviors of teasing his brother

and acting up is if he forgets his fish oil. But fish oils brought him

amazingly far in that they kept him off medications all this year. But the

surges on nutriiveda are (and those of us that see them know what I mean) BEYOND

anything you can explain -across the board. And I can't explain it just a

difference -and it for sure appears to me as if not just helping but repair is

going on. I am seeing my boys as different -in an incredible way. Tanner did

go through a bit of a cranky period as well -my husband was more upset by it

than I was. I saw it as typical teen like attitude. It has passed -but again

to me it wasn't that big of a deal (especially in light of all the surges)

OK it wouldn't be a post from me without my version of why I think this is

happening right? I just read that a microchip, the brain of a worm and the

human brain are much more alike than we think

http://www.physorg.com/news191167208.html

Well perhaps when the body starts producing more of the neurotransmitters

dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, etc it's like a faucet that had the water

turned off for awhile. You know how when the water is first on sometimes you

have to let it run for a bit because when the liquid first comes out it's all

strange brown looking and you wouldn't drink it if they paid you -and maybe even

smells? Well not saying it's like the water exactly -but perhaps in a way?

Maybe that's why it's temporary because as the " water keeps flowing " it gets

clearer and more the way it's supposed to? Those neurotransmitters would for

sure affect mood, behavior etc. The essential fatty acids and the essential

amino acids both affect neurotransmitter production from what I read. (I have

some of this in the info for the docs on the PDF you find here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html )

So that may be the answer people -think brown water with lots of sediments (ama?

toxins?) and we have to wait till it runs clear!
