Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Take 2 since I sent the first one while on the phone! Hi again Bibi! OK had a bit more time to look at this now. 1 scoop of NV is = to 8-9 level teaspoons Horlicks has one serving as " 25 grams " on their site http://www.horlicks.co.uk/products/PDFs/Horlicks-Original.pdf which according tothis chart is about 6 teaspoons http://www.drrobynsilverman.com/parenting-tips/pour-some-sugar-on-it-how-much-su\ gar-is-in-my-childs-food/ (so one serving of Horlicks is 2 to 3 teaspoons less than a serving of NV) ....so if you used the NV scooper for the Horlicks which has 20.5 grams of sugar per 25 grams of powder you were actually over the 20.5 grams of sugar per serving- probably 23 to 24 grams per scoop (again if you used the NV scooper- have never used Horlicks so don't know if it comes with it's own scooper -probably would). But if you used the NV scoop that again is more than 25 grams as one scoop using the NV scoops is the same as 8 to 9 teaspoons. (again NV ingredients for both flavors here and NV has only 2 grams of organic sugar per scoop http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html ) But back to Horlicks- if each scoop of 25 grams contains 20.5 grams of sugar and you multiply that by 4 -even that alone is 82 grams of sugar a day, and that's only if you are using a scoop that comes with Horlicks- again using the NV scooper for Horlicks powder -you are then serving probably closer to 85 to 100 grams of sugar a day. And...according to this chart http://www.drrobynsilverman.com/parenting-tips/pour-some-sugar-on-it-how-much-su\ gar-is-in-my-childs-food/ way over the amount of sugar a child should eat a day. And sorry I missed your question about the withdrawal question you have below. NV is just whole food which supports and strengthens the metabolic system by providing good nutrition. There would be a withdrawal from NV in the same way there would be a withdrawal from air or water... only if the child is no longer getting the essentials needed such as essential nutrients. I suspect most today don't get all the essential we need through normal diet alone which is why clean whole food supps are so awesome. I suspect as they get older they can just have an NV protein shake sometime in the AM which is perfectly normal but won't need therapeutic dosages forever as I do suspect there is neuro repair happening based on other research http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html On the other hand -if you continue to give your child 4 scoops of Horlicks a day and stop that- then you could be looking at a sugar withdrawal " Sugar on the brain: Study shows sugar dependence in rats Denied sugar, bingeing rats suffered withdrawal " http://www.princeton.edu/pr/news/02/q2/0620-hoebel.htm See again we tend to be more suspicious of the more healthy than the stuff we buy at the store. We need to read labels more and learn more about essential nutrients and why they are essential (because our bodies can not make them so we need to consume them daily) -and question instead " how will genetically altered foods affect my child in twenty years? " " How will all the synthetics, hormones and pesticides affect my child in twenty years? " etc. Because the question " How will a diet rich in all of the essential amino acids and nutrients all from whole foods affect my child in twenty years? " I'd say that answer is a healthier adult. Question everything -but also take time to think about why we tend to question healthier stuff and not even question junk foods and prescriptions- as that one video Gabby just posted as a joke- what was that vaccine zombies? Please tell me if I'm off on my math or something -just going by the Horlick's website and you saying you use 4 scoops a day and using the website which makes it seem that the product is primarily sugar http://www.horlicks.co.uk/products/PDFs/Horlicks-Original.pdf ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 It might be the Horlick's. I didn't notice that you were mixed the two before. Could you just add chocolate syrup instead? You'd still have all that sugar, but not the extra vitamins. Just wanted to maybe give you a few more ideas to mix NV into food you can cream the vanilla into butter and make NV butter. It's good on toast and pancakes and won't discolor the syrup like NV does if you mix it into the syrup. You can also put a small mound on bread and rub it into the holes in the bread and make a sandwich or whatever. You could mix chocolate NV into nutella or blueberry or raspberry jam for a blueberry chocolate peanut butter sandwich. You can make the no bake cookies (from http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html ) 1 Tbsn peanut butter some chocolate syrup or honey 1 scoop choco NV cream it in...it takes a while, but you want the peanut butter/syrup to be dry and not quite crumbly I press this into silicone muffin cups and push m & m's, nuts, raisins, chocolate chips or whatever into the top http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ET7B9E/ref=s9_k2ah_gw_ir03?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIK\ X0DER & pf_rd_s=center-5 & pf_rd_r=0G1Q53KP3JGK1HB4MT6F & pf_rd_t=101 & pf_rd_p=47093929\ 1 & pf_rd_i=507846 I store them in the fridge in a lidded container to keep them fresh and dispense like other treats. The forbidden aspect makes them tastier. I have yet to try it, but I've considered melting chocolate and dipping the formed peanut butter/choco NV mixture into it to make Nutriiveda peanut butter cups. My son tastes the NV in most things and refuses puddings, yogurt or liquids with the NV in it... so I've had to become very sneaky to get it in him. and he never gets a full scoop. For some weeks I just got despondent and stopped giving it to him. It is such a fight. Well, I've started again without telling anyone. He's not even getting half a scoop (he's 3 and so should get 1 scoop). so last night my husband pointed out that his language is becoming really clear. Hmmm.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Sugar and Your Immune System Dr. Linus ing's Forgotten Research Your body has a very efficient system for protecting itself from outside " invaders " such as viruses, bacteria, funguses, etc. The single most important part of this system is the body's ability to identify and destroy any invaders that get inside. There is a fact that you may not know about your body’s immune system: EATING ANY KIND OF SUGAR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE YOUR BODY'S DEFENSES BY 75% OR MORE FOR FOUR TO SIX HOURS. This is not new data. In the 1970's Dr. Linus ing (one of the greatest researchers in the field of microbiology) discovered that vitamin C helps the body to combat the common cold. As part of the same research, Dr. ing found that sugar severely slows down this same process. This is very important to know, as using this information can prevent illness and dramatically assist healing. Because the idea that sugar is " bad " for you is so controversial, I am going to give you a quick, simplified tour through your own immune system so you can see for yourself what Dr. ing discovered. 1. How Your Body Disposes of Invaders Bacteria, viruses, etc. are literally " swallowed " by a special type of cell called a " phagocyte. " This is a cell, such as a white blood cell, that engulfs and absorbs waste material, harmful microorganisms, or other foreign bodies in the bloodstream and tissues. 2. Vitamin C Dr. ing discovered that vitamin C is needed by white blood cells to engulf and absorb viruses and bacteria. In fact, a white blood cell has to contain 50 times the concentration of vitamin C as would normally be found in the blood around it. That's how Dr. ing came up with the " take vitamin C for a cold " theory. In order to continue to destroy bacteria and viruses, the white blood cells have to accumulate vitamin C all the time to keep up the 50-times concentration. So, vitamin C is being moved through the cell membranes into the white blood cells all over your body, all the time. That's why it's important to have plenty of vitamin C available to your body. 3. Sugar Glucose (sugar in its simplest form, as found in the blood stream) and vitamin C have a similar chemical structure. So similar, in fact, that when a white blood cell tries to pull in more vitamin C from the blood around it, glucose can get substituted by mistake. If the concentration of glucose in the blood goes beyond a certain concentration, the white blood cell's 50-times vitamin C concentration can start to drop because of the large amount of glucose it's pulling in as a substitute for vitamin C. In fact, at a blood sugar level of 120, the white blood cell's ability to absorb and destroy viruses and bacteria is reduced by 75%. This blood sugar level would be easily obtained by any normal person eating some sugar (cake, cookies, candy, soda or even drinking fruit juice). Further, it can take four to six hours for the vitamin C concentration in the white blood cells to reach that optimum 50-times concentration again. Conclusion: As you can see, it's not a great idea to eat any kind of sugar if you're sick, including the much-recommended orange juice (which may contain vitamin C, but this won't help if the white blood cells can't get past the sugar to use it!). Further, if you were on a program of health improvement of any kind, sugar would be your number-1 enemy! No matter if you're healing from an injury, either. White blood cells and other phagocytes remove dead tissue as well as other types of waste associated with injury healing. Talk to us about how to avoid sugar and some really great sugar substitutes you can use! And the next time you go to the drug store and notice that the cough syrup contains mostly sugar, you can wonder as we do what happened to this valuable research that no one seems to know?

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yes, I agree---avoid High Fructose corn Syrup (HFCS) because it is sooo bad for the brain. Nestle's Chocolate syrup does NOT have HFCS. I made " breakfast cookies " with a modified recipe from one of my clients (thanks, Noelle!). My kids LOVED them! 1 scoop choc NV 1 TBSP peanut butter 1 TBSP choc syrup Mix and form into balls or flat cookies. Makes 4 small or 2 large cookies. I tried them with Fluff, PB, and choc NV and my kids did not like them. so stick with the 1st recipe.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Helo Everyone, Thanks for all the replies. They were all very informative and helpful except 's last mail with a lot of numbers, it went straight over my head:-) No offence, , but you should've been a scientist:-)) I just need to spend some time reading it slowly. But I get the message that it may be the sugar in the Horlicks which made super-hyper-active!!! I plan to do this now - starts his new class this Monday. So, I'll give him few days to settle and start NV slowly, may be 1/4 a scoop a day. And then increase to 2 scoops in 2 or 3 weeks. I think I should stay with 2 scoops for atleast a month before I increase it. As mentions it, may be it was a case of too much too soon. I'll try to give it as it is without anything added to it, if not, maybe try out the wonderful recipes given in all the mails. If I see any surge in hyperactivity, I'll up his water intake and down his NV slightly. Then increase NV after the hyperactivity has subsided. It is amazing that he still has some surges like reciting a lot of rhymes and songs which he heard ages back and he is also very vocal. Even though I stopped it atleast 2 weeks back, I think NV is the reason for them. 'll keep you posted of our next adventure soon. Wish us luck! bibi > > > > Don't know where you stand on the gluten casein deal--but Horlick's Original is a BIG NO-NO-for anyone sensitive to gluten/casein and it has a ton of sugar on top. great stuff taste-wise--used to love it--got hooked on it in South Africa--it's their coco--but boy is it loaded with everything I and the rest of my family is intolerant to.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hi Bibi -Yes just call me Bill Nye's sister ha! Actually math is my weakest area which is why it was probably so confusing. I'll write this one without the numbers but just get to the point. On my message I posted the nutritional contents PDF page from the Horlicks website and from what it said one serving/25 grams had 20.5 grams of sugar which to me means Horlicks = sugar. Also, I was questioning which scoop you were using because the NV scoop is more than 25 grams -which meant at 4 scoops a day depending upon the scoop you were serving between 82 and 100 grams of sugar to your child a day through Horlicks alone (and if you add the 2 grams per scoop of natural sugar in the NV to that mix that you'd have to add an extra 8 grams to the Horlicks very grand sugar total) My email was also confusing because I was changing my mind as I was writing the email to you. I mean when I first read your email I thought it may be too much too soon...but then I got to that last paragraph about the Horlicks and not knowing much about that as I've never used it I had to research what is in Horlicks. The more I read about Horlicks and how much sugar is in it and thought about it -I believe that Horlicks is probably the more logical answer which is why there was more than one email about it from me. I also joked how it's funny that most tend to blame the healthy and not the stuff from the store -which clearly most people just use without question. I suggest to question everything -not just the stuff that's healthy -but know more about all the foods you are serving. With or without NV it's probably a good idea to keep Horlicks down to one scoop a day tops- just to use as a treat as you would say a chocolate bar or doughnut (or a few tablespoons of sugar) I highly suggest you use one of the other suggestions for how to serve -keep in mind NV does not have to be served as a drink -can be mixed into food. Some serving suggestions here http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html Hope this wasn't confusing -sometimes I talk so much I lose the point I agree with what I first wrote about starting slow and gradually raising the NV up for anyone even (but keep in mind you may not see surges until you get to the right dosage as it's dosage dependent http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html#dosage ) -but bottom line is I'd really cut the Horlicks either way way down or out if I were you as why give any child that much sugar, didn't research all the other stuff in Horlicks but for sure Horlicks has both gluten and casein. Please do let us know what happens when you cut the Horlicks down and I do hope you can just go back to seeing all the positive surges without the hyper part Yay!!! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
