Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi there, I too have been reading so much about this product that I am now considering trying for my 3.5 yr old severely apraxic daughter. My only concern is that she is soooo tiny. She is 20 lbs and 30 " so she is basically the size of an 18 mth old and she is tube fed for top up. She cannot afford to lose an ounce of weight. Will she lose weight on this product? She is also extremely active and hyper ( Nonstop from 5 am til 8 pm no nap) Thanks Sam _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Lanny you have a unique situation as your child is so far under the percentile for weight -from this chart closer to a one year old at 3 and a half http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/height-weight-teens.shtml Is there a reason that you know of why she is this tiny? The nutriiveda is great to help nourish the body. It's not a weight loss product it's a weight management product and for example my son Dakota and my mother who both don't eat well and need to gain weight have gained weight on it. My son Dakota is an extremely picky eater and refuses to eat many things including most vegetables, and would rather hang out with his friends than eat lunch for example which is why we now give it to him for lunch. My mother has celiac disease and is on a gluten casein free diet and besides that she is lactose intolerant. She lives with my sister who will cook dinner for her family and my mother -but my mother always has stomach issues and doesn't eat enough or well. I know here we are sharing stories about how our children (like my son Tanner) are doing amazing on it -but the thing is for someone like my mother- well I don't even think I can go into all the ways it's helping outside of energy and needed weight for example...but let's just say it improves elimination issues for people who were not normal before -and if you know anyone with celiac that does NOT mean constipation even though it helps with that too. What I would do if I were you is show it to your child's pediatrician for your peace of mind. It does not have to be meal replacement and in fact at her age you should probably use no more than 1 scoop a day of it which would provide 10 grams of isolate protein amongst everything else that is nutrient rich. Like we do with my son Dakota who we just raised to 2X a day yesterday -you can have it along with a meal. You can mix it into food too or whatever you tube feed her with I'm sure. Like I said I'd just check with her doctor -but I would believe this could be a big help to her in regards to growth getting this much good nutrition. There is more info on the nutriiveda at the following sites http://www.pursuitofresearch.org http://www.nutraeasy.com And I found this article which makes it seem high protein would be important for a child like yours -and again the isolate protein is the most easily digestible out of the proteins. " A Pediatric nutritionist can also suggest ways that you can provide your child with more calories by offering high calorie foods that are high in protein with lots of nutrients, especially since he will need additional calories to help him catch-up with his growth " http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/conditions/failure_to_thrive.html ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Me too. 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? The weight change and height change info may be really valuable too. One of my boys increased 10% of his body weight and finally built up some muscle on his arm. Dawen NV update My son has been on NV for a few months now...but he's been taking the full dosage for only about a month. I thought it might be fun for all of us to give an update on our kids that have been on NV for several months. I'll start. Before NV my 36 mo old son had language, but he was largely unintelligible. He was not potty trained, woke up 3-5 times a night, would often trip when he ran, didn't sing, dance, was just learning to jump. Within the first month, he started sleeping through the night, potty trained, started singing and dancing and began playing imaginatively. He also gained two lbs in 3 weeks (much needed as he's in the 10th %) Within the next few months, he has made up songs, remembers 2-3 lines from movies he's just seen, has started jumping over things, gained another pound, dances with more coordination, has started making his toys talk to each other (or makes me be one toy and talk to the other toy), had developed a taste for water and prefers it to all other drinks. Things we are still working towards. pedaling his trike, getting him to use words instead of hitting in moments of frustration, talking more to his peers, eating a wider variety of food and food textures. What have you seen with your child in the last few months? Liralen And about weight Liralen added in a following email that her son…from 20 months to 36 months, my son only gained 2 lbs (BUT!!!) In the first three weeks on NV (half dose) he gained a little over 2 lbs and in the next month gained another lb. I suspect he's grown also, but I can't find my measuring tape. Liralen Some of the above from http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html and some from the archives here Hope that helps! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Go onto http://www.Pursuitofresearch.org. It will give you a lot of the into you need. [ ] Nutriiveda I'll admit up front that I am a skeptical person when it comes to MLM products and those that require automatic monthly shipments, but all of the positive reports are making me consider Nutriiveda. I can't seem to find any information online that discusses Nutriiveda use in special needs kids except for what is linked to your sites so I have a few questions. My son is always struggling to gain weight so putting him on a weight loss supplement seems counter-intuitive. Is it just a weight loss supplement if it is used as a meal replacement? Are children gaining or losing weight on this product? My son is four, but very small so I thought I would start with the 3 year old dosage first which is one scoop. Wouldn't one order last two months then and if so, can I reduce the automatic shipping to every other month? My son's primary diagnosis is cerebral palsy, but he has major speech and cognitive issues as well. I remember reading in your book that fish oil did not seem as helpful with children who had suffered brain injury. Is the same true of Nutriiveda? We are using fish oil due to its overall health benefits anyway. You have mentioned multiple times that hydration is important. We can't seem to get our son to drink water, but he does drink juice and milk and eats lots of fruit. Will it not be effective if we can't convince him to drink water? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Is he still picky? My son is and I keep hoping that that will start to resolve. liralen RE: [ ] Re: Nutriiveda My son who is 3 has gained some weight too. I haven't weighed him but you an tell. He was very thin before because he was so picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 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 July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 There are many ways---as many as your imagination can handle! Try sprinkling in or on his food throughout the day or try in yogurt, pudding, ranch dip, ketchup, cream cheese, icing, etc. The only don't is cooking with it. You can put it in something once the food cools to warm. Let the group know what works! Warmest wishes, Barbara , M.S., CCC-SLP www.helpmespeak.com 410-442-9791 Ask me about NutriiVeda!

The child was seen by various medical doctors for opinions on this including neurologists, a developmental pediatrician, urologist, and a geneticist who suspected it was due to a syndrome. The child was put through thorough genetic testing but tested negative for any syndromes. All the doctors said the penis was normal and should come out at some point but it was 100% inside the child's body. The child was at pediatrician right before starting nutriiveda so the mom could get it approved and at that appointment she happened to ask about his penis which was still an issue even though her son was starting to go through puberty and the pediatrician said that when he goes into stage 4 of puberty it should resolve. She started nutriiveda and her son had remarkable surges in various areas...but most remarkable was 8 days after he started nutriiveda he ran to his mother screaming in excitement " Mommy my penis came out! " It's been resolved ever since, and the parent called me a few weeks or so ago but I didn't know if it was just a coincidence even though the parents do not believe it is. And then I heard the second case. > > Case two > > 6 and a half year old boy with an inverted nipple diagnosed with apraxia > > While the one inverted nipple was a concern to the parents early on, the doctors were not concerned as the child was a boy and wouldn't have to breast feed at some point. The parents were told this would be the only concern for an inverted nipple. The child has been on nutriiveda for a few months with surges in various areas as most report. Three days ago the mom was giving the child a bath and when he got out of the tub she went to dry him off and noticed that his one nipple was no longer inverted. She didn't think that possible and thought it was from the change in temp from the bath. So an hour later she checked it again and it was still not inverted. She told her husband who (and you have to hear the way she said this -pretty funny) calls nutriiveda " the veeda " and with each surge just says in a joking way " I'm telling you it's the veeda! " And when she told him about the inverted nipple that is just what he said to that. The mom still didn't believe it possible and waited 24 hours to check her son's chest again and the one nipple was no longer inverted -still. That is when she called me. Neither mom or dad know how long it took for the inverted nipple to resolve because as the mom said to me -prior to her noticing that her son's nipple was no longer inverted -it wasn't something her or or husband payed attention to. But the child was only on nutriiveda a few months -so couldn't have been that long. > > I decided I would document both stories here to keep it confidential.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi. I'm thinking of starting my 5 year old son, who has autism, on nutriiveda. He is non-verbal. I'm just wondering does anybody have information about the suitable dosage and anything else that should be taken into consideration when taking it. Thanks, Sinead.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Does your son have any words,gestures,or utterances. My son Adam is five as well he has apraxia and spd. He has one word utterances and gestures. No parallel conversations. And difficulty with toileting at times.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 all three of my children are non verbal and still have toileting problems but my daughter seems to be ahead she is now 11 so she is doing well but sometimes at night still accidents but she has improved greatly over the year. since she hit puberty she has really matured and I think that has helped somewhat. but still keeping our fingers crossed  our children do a lot of vocal sounds and utters and gestures but no solid words as of yet  always hoping ________________________________ From: Bullock <primabullock@...> " " < > Sent: Tue, August 3, 2010 7:50:01 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Nutriiveda  Does your son have any words,gestures,or utterances.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 My son Tanner is also 5 and while he isn't a 100% non verbal , he has very few actual words, he also makes lots of sounds & noises and tries to say every word you ask. He has been on Nutriiveda for almost 2 weeks and I can't say I have noticed a whole lot of change. I actually saw more of a verbal explosion on fish oil.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Same here Kristie.Ă‚Â My son is 2 and has been on Nutriveda for 12 days.Ă‚Â There was a HUGE surge after starting fish oil before I started Nutriveda but not a whole lot of difference since starting the Nutriveda.Ă‚Â When I started Nutriveda I stopped the fish oil, 3 days ago I started giving him fish oil again and I am still giving him NV.Ă‚Â Again, he is having a surge in speech and speech attempts. I am going to stop the Nutriveda for a while and see what happens.Ă‚Â I feel like my little boy is my own science experiment. I know that NV is whole food and contains things that kids may not be getting enough of nutritionally and it contains nutrition that we can't always get in our food today.Ă‚Â While talking to my mom the other day she brought up the fact that my kids eat very healthy and maybe that's why there isn't a ton of improvement on NV.Ă‚Â My kids never drink pop or consume high fructose corn syrup (not an easy thing to do!), they eat veggies that come from our own organic garden (we have a compost pile year round to fertilize with),Ă‚Â I buy very little packaged foods, cook everyday from scratch with no prepared foods.Ă‚Â Ă‚Â The only thing is that we don't consume much if any fish.Ă‚Â Where we live high quality seafood is quite expensive and we very seldom have any. We also don't eat any soy products -soybeans contain omega fatty acids as well.Ă‚Â Ă‚Â Any comments on this?Ă‚Â I am just trying to figure this all out.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 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. But please stop giving the nutriiveda 100 percent for those weeks!!! Healthy diet is irrelevant unless you live in what they call a " blue zone " of the world -which if you are in the US is unlikely " Our life spans are about 20 percent dictated by our genes, Buettner says. The rest is lifestyle. " Buettner and a team of demographers work with census data to identify blue zones around the world. They found Icaria had the highest percentage of 90-year-olds anywhere on the planet, lower rates of cancer, heart disease and almost no dementia. " http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103744881 Soils are depleted of nutrients today http://www.drpasswater.com/nutrition_library/davis_1.html so it is suggested by Dr. himself to seek out vegetations that are " slow growing " All of the vegetation in nutriiveda are slow growing (the amalaki takes 15 years to even produce fruit!!) but most of us consume fast growing vegetation. 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. Start it and give it a few weeks -make sure your child is well hydrated as we talk about here http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html and then watch for surges. Yes of course you can lower or even stop the fish oils with it but I don't recommend doing either for months...and don't recommend ever stopping fish oils as again they are " essential fatty acids " An essential nutrient means the body needs it but can't produce it so needs to consume it but it's virtually lacking in diet. In the case of seafood the waters are laced with mercury which binds to the muscle/protein of the fish so even if you did consume or share " healthy " fish with your child you are also going to be sharing probably some small to larger amount of mercury which contradicts the positive. I waited a few months and have been my child's personal researcher for over a decade now. I did have a hunch that since nutriiveda supports the metabolic system and is based on what I am seeing that if I give the body enough time perhaps while I will continue and not stop fish oils I can lower them as the body may not NEED as much. I have lowered both of my son's fish oil dosage now and I don't know if there is any child that was MORE dependent on daily fish oils than Tanner -he was like a human barometer for fish oil and if we missed just one serving or lowered his dosage a bit he regressed within one day noticed by all....now Tanner has even skipped a day without fish oil and I have lowered his dosage in half and he continues to surge. That is because nutriiveda supports the metabolic system. What that means is you may be making it easier for your child's body to utilize the fish oils or essential fatty acids you are providing. Unless you understand what fish oils mean to our children from what I've seen and from what many professionals now believe it's very sad to stop fish oils just like that...another reason we need research to validate this as well -and for anyone even wanting to lower dosage I would suggest waiting at least a few months. The human body is amazing and a miracle but we can't fast food nation expect possible neuro changes within hours or days...it takes much longer!! But then again as a parent we are all free to do what is best. I'm working on getting research to validate what we are seeing in providing our children with essential nutrients which are clean (meaning tested free of heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides) which I don't believe will be hard at this point based on the extraordinarily high amount of surges reported across the board http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html but it will take years for that want to wait. Also some children have more on their plate then others, may want to read this from a medical research who is also a parent (look under Gretchen) http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html Janel I again HIGHLY encourage you to stop the nutriiveda...continue the fish oils for a few weeks..and then start the nutriiveda again without stopping the fish oils and watch for additional surges above and beyond what you see with fish oils alone. Please don't underestimate nutriiveda and what it's doing for so many!!! This is now just a fraction of the testimonies and success http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html and as I wrote in the last message wait until you hear Dawn Falley's update tomorrow for her two children!! PS...We have multiple members in this group who have children that didn't respond to fish oil who were just on nutriiveda with surges -and I also encourage those parents to add fish oils to the mix now your child is on nutriiveda as the two together are beautiful in providing the essential nutrients. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 I'm not Janel but I really am going to take this advice. I had so much hope for nutriiveda and when I didn't see any real results, I decided not to buy another can. The cost is quite high and not something I was going to pay for if it wasn't working. I had stopped fish oils before starting nutriiveda and think that was probably a huge mistake. I am going to start the fish oils back and wait a few weeks and then try nutriiveda again with the fish oils this time. Kristie Janel I again HIGHLY encourage you to stop the nutriiveda...continue the fish oils for a few weeks..and then start the nutriiveda again without stopping the fish oils and watch for additional surges above and beyond what you see with fish oils alone.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 How old is your daughter? For most kids, under 3yrs= 1scoop, 4-8yrs= 2 scoops/day, 9+yrs=4 scoops/day http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html#dosage So where did you see the 6 scoop recommendation? NV is water soluble so she will just flush out any that her body doesn't use. One option: Try the no bake cookie recipe-in archives. That may give her more room in her stomach for other food. Remember, NV IS food-slow grown-just not something you chew. Also, if she weighs as a younger child, then she may not need as much to have an effect. For ex, if she is 10 but is the wt of an 8 yr old, then it would make sense to give her the lower dosage.

I have searched, and cannot find the answer. I have an older child who should be using 6 scoops per day, according to the guidelines. I started to use it, and within three days, she would drink the Nutriiveda, but pretty much nothing else! I didn't feel comfortable with NV being the ONLY thing she consumes in a day, so I took it in to our doctor. He said that 6 scoops was giving her too much protein (60 grams -- he said she should aim for between 30-40 grams based on her height/weight). He said that it was understandable that she was " full " after consuming the product, and he definitely was not OK with her not having " real " food each day. So, I am wondering -- has anyone had results with less than the recommended " dose? " She just cannot consume 6 scoops (even with just adding water -- which is not her favorite) and still have room to eat remotely normally. Suggestions anyone???

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 HI, Both of my kids are on the product, my son is 14 and my daughter is 10. They are on 4 scoops a day and are both having great success. Have not gone on a higher dose yet because I keep seeing things on the dose they are on.Plus I give it to them in the a.m. WITH their breakfast and in the afternoon with a snack so they are eating food too. I mix it with half water and half vanilla soy or vanilla almond milk with the choc. NV, and mix it in a shaker cup, if she likes milk shakes try it in the blender with a little ice.Other parents have mixed it into oatmeal, pudding, ice cream, juice. If you have any questions give me a call. My son is now off his seizure meds. after 9yrs. and had a normal EEG for the first time ever!! This product is great!! ~~Dawn Falley 631-447-0615 > > I have a question about this product.
