Re: Daughter will not take NV - Need recipes

[Guest guest]

My mom was able to get a full scoop into one cup of chocolate milk today! I

usually just add Nesquick to my son's milk and then add in our NV

(vanilla), but my mom had chocolate milk that was premade (you know, the kind

you

buy at the store), and that apparently disguised the taste of the NV

better...makes sense since it's so thick, but thought I'd share since it worked

so

well for us :-)

We had just gotten to the full dosage when he was sick for

a week. We started back at adding like a tsp to 8 oz of

Juice. I think if you keep persisting in small ways she

will adjust to it. It is frustrating though! My son likes

it in applesauce. (again I had to start very small). Now

I still only put 2tsp in like 1/4 cup applesauce. I also

add extra cinnamon.)

Good luck!

Sorry, I sent the last message by accident before I was done.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. Unfortunately nothing has

worked very well so far. Trying to get her to take this stuff is almost

as stressful as the apraxia diagnosis itself. Over the course of a day

the most we can get her to take is 1/2 scoop and that is with a lot of

work and if we're lucky. We give her 2 syringe fulls which she hates

and I don't know how much longer we can keep it up. She gets her fish

oils via syringe and I don't want her to rebel against that. I can

sneak 1/2 teaspoon in her smoothie that we give her twice a day. I mix

some in her apple juice and she only has a little - she used to love her

juice and finish it all. I try to sprinkle some of raisin bread but

it's a very little amount.

My daughter is 2 and has no incentive to take this stuff. She doesn't

like food out of a bowl or that she needs to use a spoon for or be fed

which eliminates a lot of food where we could hide the NV. She is a not

a kid who likes sweets. Her favorite things to eat are hot dogs,

chicken, cheese and pasta. I was wondering if I could have some recipes

for cookies or Rice Krispies treats or any other way to sneak in NV. I

am willing to try anything even if it's something sweet. I just want to

see if she will have the same success as other kids, but she is so picky

and can sniff out this stuff a mile away.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry, I sent the last message by accident before I was done.

Thank you for the suggestions everyone. Unfortunately nothing has

worked very well so far. Trying to get her to take this stuff is almost

as stressful as the apraxia diagnosis itself. Over the course of a day

the most we can get her to take is 1/2 scoop and that is with a lot of

work and if we're lucky. We give her 2 syringe fulls which she hates

oils via syringe and I don't want her to rebel against that. I can

sneak 1/2 teaspoon in her smoothie that we give her twice a day. I mix

some in her apple juice and she only has a little - she used to love her

juice and finish it all. I try to sprinkle some of raisin bread but

it's a very little amount.

My daughter is 2 and has no incentive to take this stuff. She doesn't

like food out of a bowl or that she needs to use a spoon for or be fed

which eliminates a lot of food where we could hide the NV. She is a not

a kid who likes sweets. Her favorite things to eat are hot dogs,

for cookies or Rice Krispies treats or any other way to sneak in NV. I

am willing to try anything even if it's something sweet. I just want to

see if she will have the same success as other kids, but she is so picky

and can sniff out this stuff a mile away.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Kristi and welcome!

We call it NV because so many spell the actual name wrong even if they are using

it Like fish oils it's a whole food that contains essential nutrients -in

this case each serving contains all the essential fatty acids. Essential means

the body needs it daily but needs to consume it through diet because our bodies

can't produce the essential nutrients- and most diets today are deficient. I

discovered back in October of 2009 that NV has therapeutic affects which was a

shock to me and I believe is a shock to all -including the doctors who

formulated and endorse it http://pursuitofresearch.org/advisors.html It was

just created as a product to support the metabolic system -one that is for just

about anyone to help nourish and if needed naturally detox the body. We are

seeing almost across the board surges in just about every age and diagnosis- so

there must be a logical explanation as to why based on essential nutrients.

Because there are so few answers as of yet I started a theory page

http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html Here's info you can share with your

child's doc and as it's water soluble and all nutrients are from whole foods it

is being approved pretty much by all types of doctors, nutritionists etc.

http://pursuitofresearch.org/NutriiVeda_Information.pdf and here are the areas

we are seeing surges in typically within one day to three days

http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html

Much of what we know about NV is on the above site -there are a number of

doctors and therapists who are now aware of NV from all over and how it's

creating dramatic surges. We are getting a written report from Ina's

neurologist and SLP about her 5 and a half year old who went from a diagnosis of

profound to mild apraxia in about 3 months which is credited to NV and therapy.

As most here know however therapy alone does not get a child that far in 3

months -'maybe' 3 years if we are fortunate.

As some find out quickly however the biggest problem for some is trying to

figure out how to get such a healthy food into our kids who are in most cases

used to high fat, sodium and sugar as this is fat, sodium free with only 2 grams

of natural sugar per scoop -which is why we have this page

http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html I'm convinced however

that everyone will have to try to just figure out something because to me this

is the closest I've ever seen to any sort of cure. Not saying that without fish

oils or NV there is no hope -there is always hope -but there are certain things

that accelerate progress -NV just takes it to a place I have never seen before.

So many areas of dramatic surges and so quickly -I do understand why it would be

hard to believe to just read it -but I encourage all to check it out and just

try it.

Anyway -if you have any other questions ask away here -or call me 772 335 5135.

I know there are a number of other parents and professionals that can answer at

this point as well!
