Re: Nutriveda facts

[Guest guest]

Ruby we as parents get to do what we believe is best for our child. But when

you have a parent who's child is surging on healthy foods, that to me is long

term good news.

I am aware of the theory you were told about and it's based on feeling worse or

better depending upon the foods you consume. If the theory even did make sense,

your child clearly didn't fit the model because your son would have regressed

and gotten worse...not better on the healthy foods. That proves either the

theory is false -or your child isn't high in mercury...or both.

If you follow this theory your child has to avoid many healthy and essential for

growing children type foods including those that contain essential amino acids.

They would also have you avoid feeding your son eggs, any type of beans, and

there are lots of veggies to avoid like broccoli or peas -even onions. And

instead this diet recommends eel, snails, dried fish, " white sugar " (OMG!! well

guess you need that to get the eels, dried fish and snails into the kid), whole

wheat flour..guess it isn't for those that are GFCF huh?

And what about all the kids now with autism on turmeric/curcumin

products...turmeric/curcumin BTW is high in thiols. That right there tells me

the theory is bunk as there is so much research on how many turmeric/curcumin is

helping...and not just those with autism. And yes turmeric, and amalaki and all

healthy foods are in nutriiveda http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html

And we all have mercury in our bodies as it's in the water, food source. We all

live on planet Earth. I appreciate theories but the one you are going with-

it's so out there.

We all get to do what we want and what we believe best for your child. I tend

to follow those that make the most sense and doctor recommended and endorsed

even better. Your child was surging on nutriiveda, your child's doctor approved

it, and you pulled your child off of it due to unproven theory shared by some

unknown. If you don't mind Ruby I'd like to see the emails from the people that

shared this with you -you can email them to me in private at lisa@...

I'm just happy you are seeing more professional opinion as it seems you don't

have much respect for your child's doctor, and honestly as a parent don't know

how you could pull your child off a food that was creating surges. It boggles

my mind and I find it quite sad too. Even if you have no respect for your

child's primary doctor who approved nutriiveda I'd share this new theory you

learned from some unknown and what you are doing with both doctors for the sake

of your child- long term health.

Below is my theory as to why nutriiveda is working for it seems like 100 percent

from http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html And I really again would like to

see any opinions on healthy food that sound bizarre going ahead even if theory

based on credible science with references.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are many possible theories as to why we are seeing the sudden and in most

cases dramatic surges in individuals of all ages with autism, apraxia and other

speech and language delays or impairments, TBI and global delays within,

sometimes, just days of starting NutriiVeda. Is it one of the elements, a

combination, or perhaps the synergistic blend which is in essence ayurveda?

Below are some of the original thoughts I have had together now with input from

others in our nonprofit. Clearly this is a therapeutic method that should be

researched and validated as it can help so many as it’s benign, simple, and

inexpensive.

My theories started with nutrition. In the CHERAB Foundation we’ve known for

over a decade now the importance of PUFAs (the fish oils) to help many with

communication delays and disorders. Due to it being a nutritional supplement

being suggested to help a neurological condition, in the early days there was

much skepticism, even criticism and ridicule as to how could fish oil help a

child with apraxia or autism?! This reaction of course is normal and due to

ignorance.

I like to refer to the ignorance that surrounds nutrition’s importance on

health, including neurological function, as the “magic orange†reaction.

I’m referring to scurvy and the impact a simple orange had on sailors years

ago. Of course the orange wasn’t “magic†but if one is ignorant in the

aspect of or importance of the vitamin C in the orange they could look at the

orange as magically keeping a sailor alive.

Today we have much more knowledge about the importance of nutrition on health,

including the importance of the PUFAs on neurological function. Our nonprofit is

currently in the process of raising monies to validate the therapeutic effect of

PUFAs on speech which is why we originally got involved with the company Zrii.

As a fundraiser.

Unbeknownst to me or any of us we had no idea that one of the products that Zrii

was going to launch just 2 days later, NutriiVeda, was going to be another

“magic orange†for us!

After seeing almost immediate remarkable life changing surges in multiple areas

in my own son Tanner (hyperlink to Tanner’s story), noticed by all around him

including professionals at his school, I shared NutriiVeda with Robin Ketchum,

’s mother for her to try. As you may be aware form Mel’s blog, like

my son Tanner, too had remarkable and unexplainable surges within days

after almost 25 years of no progress no matter what had been tried. It was a few

weeks later until I shared NutriiVeda with our nonprofit group.

Others started trying the NutriiVeda after sharing it with their child’s

doctor and one after another the same dramatic surges were reported.

This is unexplainable and just incredible. I clearly could understand any and

all skepticism from those that didn’t try it as nothing could possibly have a

therapeutic effect on ‘every’ one. But that is what it appeared like as

reports came in from parents of children of all ages from 2 to 26, with various

conditions, autism, PDD, apraxia as well as undiagnosed speech delays, TBI and

global delays as well as ADHD. The skepticism started to fade as the curiosity

continued to grow within our own nonprofit….what can be creating the surges in

our children with this product the NutriiVeda?

I say this with all my heart that I believe it will be validated that something

in the NutriiVeda will be found to be some sort of cure for what we are seeing

today in these children with multifaceted neurologically based communication

impairments. To me it’s clear there is some sort of neurological repair that

is happening. But how is it happening so quickly? Why is it so dosage dependent?

Why is hydration so important for this therapy to work?

And also why does the NutriiVeda appear to support the metabolism of the PUFAs?

I have never been able to lower Tanner's fish oils prior without a regression

but since on NutriiVeda I've experimented and cut his dosage in half and have

witnessed the most incredible surges. I started to explore possible reasons

based on the ingredients and shared some of them with our group, and others in

the group have shared some theories as well. In short Nutriiveda is a 100

percent natural, 100 percent whole food source all the essential amino acids,

and nutrients per serving. Nutriiveda is gluten, casein, fat, sodium and

caffeine free and tested free of any heavy metals, herbicides, or pesticides.

The fact that all the nutrients are from whole foods which is the purest form of

supplementation and 100 percent water soluble makes this an easy way to get

essential nutrients into our children and ourselves. The fact we are seeing

therapeutic results is the over the moon cherry on top.

Below we will include some of the research I have found that may answer some

questions as to what we are seeing, as well as some theories from others in our

group. If you would like to submit a theory or research that you believe may

help answer questions please email them to research@...

Whey isolate protein:

There are many reasons why this particular ingredient may be benefitting but I

first want to share that the whey isolate protein in the NutriiVeda unlike the

majority you would buy from the store it is gluten and casein free and is made

in a 100 % natural and gentle way to protect the precious proteins and essential

amino acids and virtually 100% whey.

Whey isolate product in addition to it being the most easily digestible protein

by the body contains all the essential amino acids which is just one of the

ingredients in NutriiVeda linked in clinical research to neurological repair and

support.

For example, neurology researchers have shown that feeding amino acids to

brain-injured animals restores their cognitive abilities and may set the stage

for the first effective treatment for cognitive impairments suffered by people

with traumatic brain injuries. (1)

In addition the whey isolate protein plays a very important role of dramatically

raising the antioxidant glutathione. “The antioxidant glutathione� " critical

for the body to excrete metals� " typically works by binding to heavy metals,

which the body then knows to eliminate. In 2004, researcher Jill , Ph.D.,

of the Arkansas School of Medicine, led a pioneering study that showed autistic

kids had significantly less glutathione than typical kids� " which put their

bodies in a state of " constant oxidative stress. " In other words, autistic kids

were genetically predisposed to have low glutathione levels, making them

particularly susceptible to heavy metal toxicity. " (2)

As there is more and more knowledge learned from Proteomics (3), and the

starting point for novel pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biomedical applications

of for example whey, perhaps more light will be shed on the importance of

balance in regards to proteins and essential amino acids combined with other

nutrients and from whole food sources. “The Human Proteome Project will not

only expand our understanding of the universe of cellular function and disease

but also identify the foods that rebuild and regenerate the body.†(4)

In regards to reduction and even elimination of seizures one study found

Tryptophan (Trp) an essential amino acid found naturally in nutriiveda from a

whole food source through the whey protein to be helpful as an antiepileptic

therapy of drug-resistant epileptic patients. (5)

Outside of the essential amino acids and protein, there is the ayurvedic

component; rich in 5000 years of medicinal and healing usage, brought to

NutriiVeda by leading medical and ayurvedic doctors including the Chopra Center

for Wellbeing who formulated and endorse the NutriiVeda.

What is of great interest to me is that the whole food nutrients from the

ayurvedic vegetations in nutriiveda are all slow growing. This is intriguing

due to the 2004 published study done by , a biochemist at the

University of Texas, who found 13 major nutrients in fruits and vegetables

tracked by the Agriculture Department from 1950 to 1999, showed noticeable

declines in nutritional value. said “faster-growing plants aren't able

to acquire the nutrients that their slower-growing cousins can, either by

synthesis or from the soil.†(6) Even though dramatically reduced nutrients

protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and vitamin C are familiar to

all; what if there are also unknown trace but essential elements that are

missing in today’s fruits and vegetables that are still found in slow growing

vegetations?

But on their own each ayurvedic botanical has found praise in both eastern as

well as western medicine.

One ingredient for example to take notice of due to extensive clinical evidence

of it’s great importance in neurological function and repair in the ayurvedic

blend of NutriiVeda is turmeric which contains curcumin. There is a tremendous

amount of research linking this ayurvedic botanical to the benefit and treatment

of cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, cerebral ischemia, multiple

sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumors, neuropathic pain, schizophrenia,

depression, epilepsy, Parkinson disease and even autism. Probably today the most

note worthy research is on turmeric/curcumin’s apparent ability to prevent,

slow, even reverse, the build up of neural plaque which is implicated in

Alzheimer's Disease (7) But again that is but two of the ingredients in the

synergistic blend of NutriiVeda.

I found that the haritaki (Terminalia chebula) is an antispasmodic

phytochemicals

Anti-spasmodics have proved useful in treating spinal-cord injuries, multiple

sclerosis and Tourette syndrome amongst other neuro conditions -so how may that

help this group?

And on this same (one) ayurvedic element (Haritaki, Chebulic myrobalam):

“Terminalia chebula Retz. (Haritaki, Chebulic myrobalam) In Sanskrit, Haritaki

means " carries away " (all diseases). Haritaki is a safe and effective purgative,

expectorant and tonic. It is a component of the classic Ayurvedic combination

called " Triphala " (three fruits). Tiphalpha is an important Ayurvedic medicine,

which often promotes health through successive steps of purification and

detoxification. It is known to have strong anti-mutagenic activity, because of

its very rich content vitamin C†(8)

What research and time will one day answer is how one element may be further

helping another work. For now we know that we are seeing remarkable surges

across the board and hearing tremendous testimonies for NutriiVeda. So I would

like to take this opportunity to personally thank whomever is involved in the

creation of NutriiVeda. It has been a life changing product for my own family

due to my son Tanner and one that I can’t imagine life without now. Thank you!

Below are theories and explanations from members of the Cherab group that have

come out since. If you have a theory or explanation about one or more of the

ingredients in the NutriiVeda please do share!

Sincerely,
