Grainy Nutriiveda????

[Guest guest]

Hey!

We actually have the same " problem " right now. I ended up calling the

company and it's fine, in that it's just as effective and nothing is " wrong "

with it, other than the consistency. What happens, I guess, is that since the

product is made up of botanicals, it can vary a bit from time to time...I

guess a good comparison would be to think about a banana-if you eat it when

it's green, yellow, and brown, it tastes different and has different

consistencies, but the nutrients and " good stuff " are still all there. I have a

few different canisters of Nutriiveda right now and sampled each one and

they vary in how grainy they are, so this should just be a temporary issue

that will work itself out as the manufacturer uses up whatever botanical they

have that is doing this. I can assure you that we are new to using NV and

we saw surges immediately after starting it (like a few hours!), so I can

assure you that it's doing all the things that it's supposed to and maybe

even FASTER than usual--I almost thought about calling the company and asking

for more grainy NV since it seems to be sooooo effective ;-) I posted a

couple weeks ago with our update, if you are interested. If you have any more

questions, I will try to answer them, but for now, just try to get through

your canister and hopefully the next one will be better! What I've found to

work best for us is to put it into chocolate pudding---my son will gobble

it up this way and I can get a lot more in one little pudding cup than I

could into a cup of chocolate milk or something else (and he will willingly

eat the pudding and it was a battle to get him to drink something that had

the NV in it)...so maybe try that? I also know someone else said they were

putting it in Rice Krispy treats, so maybe try that too, if you have time.

Hope that helps!!

Had this from the beginning and made the freezer cookies and no problems with

that.

Hmm. Rice Krispie treats sounds like a great idea!

Brittany that is such an excellent way of explaining it using the banana

example. But unlike the banana many of the vegetations used in nutriiveda are

bitter. For my family and my sensory sensitive boys I don't mind the slight

variations in flavor as much as the texture if you know what I mean!!! Sensory

kids can gag on things that bother them! Tanner gives the rice krispy

nutriiveda treats a thumbs way up for a way to get it in here and there as a

treat. In fact my boys had a house full of boys that slept over- all tweens and

teens and I made a plate of nutriiveda rice krispy treats and didn't tell any of

them that I secretly added the NV to them and they all gobbled them down and

asked for more- and outside of 2 of the boys as well as my two boys the other 3

boys never had nutriiveda before.

To see the list of vegetations in nutriiveda please check out this page here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html

Serving suggestions here http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html

We didn't put up the recipes yet but here's how I made the rice krispy treats.

1 small regular bag of mini marshmallows (my RK treat fanatic friend said they

melt faster than the large)

7 tbs of real butter

8 heaping scoops of vanilla nutriiveda (my friend used chocolate and said it was

good too)

5 scoops of rice krispy cereal

Melt the butter and mini marshmallows over super super low simmer in as wide a

pan as possible -will take awhile but that's OK. Once all is melted take off

the heat and you should be able to touch it- just luke warm -it's OK then I

figure to add the 8 heaping scoops of nutriiveda. It is going to turn brownish

even if you use the vanilla and it's going to look like " no way will I fit all

the rice krispy cereal in here " Well the recipe here said 6 scoops -I could

only fit 5. My friend only used 3 or 4 and then she regretted she didn't put in

more. Just throw in all 5 scoops at once and stir. Have a buttered Pyrex pan

ready and pour out mixture and flatten it. Depending upon how many scoops you

give your child a day you cut it up- perfect! well kind of sad to take

something SOO healthy and make it into something that isn't...but the other way

I guess of looking at it is it will be the healthiest rice krispy treat ever in

the existence of time! ha!

But for real...whether my boys like, love, ask for or don't like, hate the way

the nutriiveda is that particular day -they are now 14 and 16 (Dakota just

turned 16 yesterday and Tanner 14 a month ago) and we just say " Stop being a

baby -hold your nose if you have to and drink it already " and they both do. It

does get easier the longer they are on it.

I had a shipment of vanilla that was a bit more grainy than other bottles of

NV.  I put it in the blender, mixed in a bit of yogurt, and a mini-banana -

that helped.  Fortunately, Josh is drinking it in his milk without any problem

so far (about 2 months now on NV).  I have not made any of the cookies or rice

krispie treats or any other method of getting him to take it - he just looks at

is as " chocolate milk " (even with the vanilla, although he does like the

chocolate more), thank goodness!  He's not a real cookie kid (also thank

goodness), but I figure I'm eventually going to need to find other ways of

getting him to take the NV.

Sherry you haven't shared your blog address in awhile and so I want to again.

Just want to mention that I'm not sure if it's because of your attorney spirit

but you do such an awesome/perfect job of documenting Josh's journey down to

every detail on nutriiveda from day one -I really believe that this type of

documentation, your blog, will be so important for individual anecdotal feedback

which could be primary to clinical research. For those who don't know this is

Sherry's blog to document her son Josh on nutriiveda from day one on NV

http://budsnvblog.blogspot.com/ (Is Josh's nickname Bud?)

Sherry and anyone else documenting I so appreciate this because we need more to

document every day because most still don't know about NV, think the testimonies

http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html are too good to be true, and need

to know that this is so worth at least trying, exploring, sharing with your

child's doctor at the very least! In all the years I have run Cherab I have

never seen anything work this quickly and across the board-on the same level as

the essential fats, but appearing to work on more areas and on more cases for

some reason (but complimenting supplementation of the essential fats at the same

time)

About the concern of drinking the same chocolate milk there is another way of

looking at it. I'm one of a large group of health conscious people that have had

a protein shake for breakfast for years and even look forward to them. I feel

better drinking a protein shake to start the day than eating a greasy breakfast

for example. Most people that work out drink protein shakes at least once if

not more a day for not just health reasons but to build muscle etc. So for guys

it's totally normal!! Well healthy guys anyway. And as if that's not enough,

outside of health and looking good, put that together with something that for

reasons that are still in theory http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html

appear to be helping with neuro-function amongst other things -that's just

priceless. I know at least some of the kids themselves (of all ages up to

adult) notice the changes. Sherry has Josh said anything to you about his

changes/surges?

There is one child also a tween like Josh that lives near me that has some of

the similar behavioral issues but he also had severe anger and control issues

(no communication issue with his autism) and this child after one day on

nutriiveda made a friend which is typically very hard for him, didn't throw any

tantrums as he typically would -and told his mother " I didn't get angry today

like I normally do. Maybe if I stay like this I can play football " (paraphrase;

the mom told me he can't play football because " he would kill any child that

tried to tackle him " due to his anger issues) His parents were skeptical that

the positive changes which were as in almost all cases so sudden (within one day

to start) were from nutriiveda so they let the one canister of nutriiveda run

out and he's been off nutriiveda for about a week now. I just got a call from

this mom yesterday because she wants more as it was a " horrible week " without

nutriiveda. Until there is research people will have their doubts -but not for

long once they use it -most of us don't let a regression last more than a

weekend's time. As those like us know -nutriiveda is life changing and very sad

without it. In my opinion now based on what I see I actually think it would be

a medical doctor's responsibility to learn about this benign natural way of

helping just as most today are aware of the importance of folic acid during

pregnancy, and essential fatty acids for numerous medical conditions. It should

be something to explore and recommend based on the overwhelming success rate of

it and again something that needs to be validated as soon as possible.
