Update

[Guest guest]

I am sorry I missed blogging for the past few days. We just found out

one

of our friends has cancer and we were at the hospital since they have 5

children but no one is helping them; so we are helping them

currently. He

should be out of the hospital soon and I hope he will begin to use the

Nutriiveda.

Here are some recent notes on 's progress.

Wow! I can't believe it has been over a month since first began

using the Nutriiveda!! As many of you know that have followed Mel's

blog,

to say a lot has changed since then is an understatement as my 25 year

old

daughter has had a transformation before our eyes!! continues

to do

well on the Nutriiveda and all the changes we have seen so far have

remained

consistent.

Last year I was trying to figure out how to keep healthy from

her

seizures. Since nutriiveda Mel has not had any seizures or even

headaches

and her doctor has give the go ahead to lower Mel's seizure meds which

is so

exciting for our family.

While last year all we worried about were the seizures that put Mel in

the

hospital and almost killed our beautiful daughter, this year I am now

trying

to figure out communication for . We have all new goals to set,

goals that we dreamed of years ago that are finally coming to

fruition. Not

only the seizures- just about everything that I worried about last

year is

gone as Mel no longer is content to sit back and let the world help

her do

everything while she watches silently, Mel wants to talk and be an

active

part of this world so all my past worries are replaced by one single

worry.

How do we get to communicate given her past history? I know I

should be grateful for all the remarkable changes that has

made, and

I am grateful. but now I want more for and as far as I know

who can

help her? How many other 25 year olds are there out there that all of a

sudden have had dramatic changes in who they are? It's like Mel has

come

out of a coma to put it in perspective to one who doesn't know her to

see

the difference. She doesn't want to be viewed as a child but in many

ways

the stages she appears to be going through are those that she should

have

gone through decades ago.

I want to be able to communicate, to go back to school, the

right

way this time, and begin studying once again. I want to have

a life

that I know is possible for her, and I know that is what she wants

too, but

it all needs to begin with communication.

So while last year the list of our worries were so long and I worried

about

seizures and who would care for Mel if I wasn't around, this year I'm

looking at my daughter who is fighting to be independent, who is

fighting to

learn and grow. Who is wanting to be a woman but who is still in many

ways

going through stages she never did as a child. In my heart I know the

greatest hurdle however is what is the best way to help right

now

with who she is? Who will understand where she was before and why just

adding nutriiveda to her diet in these past few weeks has made such a

profound impact? I know reading this it sounds too good to be true, and

again that's how it feels to us, but this is what is really happening

in our

lives, in Mel's life.
