Re: Re: Another Tanner update (normal?! Who asked for...

[Guest guest]

Oh! I forgot to mention in my update one of the greatest things I've seen

in the few days that Cale has been on NV...we were at my 4 year old

daughter's Vacation Bible School performance last night and we saw a photo of

her

up on a big screen and Cale (who doesn't typically get along with his

sister) saw the photo of her and ran over to her and gave her a big hug and

kiss!! It was almost like he was proud of her. Anyway, big difference from our

" normal " Cale :-)

Just wanted to add that my soon to be 16 YO many times diagnosed as ADHD

but never medicated and brilliant son Dakota ironically is listening better

since he's been on nutriiveda. Not as good as Tanner did prior -but as you

can read in the archives- notably better.

I was on the phone with two of my boy's friend's parents -both of whom are

doctors telling them about this new Tanner stage and both told me what I

already knew...this is a perfectly normal stage.

woohoo (lower case, said as a whisper)

> As many of you know my son Tanner who just turned 14 years old has had

life changing surges on nutriiveda in so many areas that I can't even begin

to list them all. But from the way he looks, speaks, acts, learns..and in

areas such as multi tasking and abstract humor that he never either grasped

or was able to do prior -which is why I started this page here to document.

(http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html) It's kind of like why I started

this page here

_http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html_

(http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html)

to keep track of my theories why this is working while most of the world

doesn't have a clue about what I consider to be (not kiddding) some sort of

cure. I don't know how- but the more time that goes on -the more I see -yes

-a cure. That's my opinion and I don't care if some don't believe me yet.

Those that doubt it are those that don't try it and basically I ha ve found

interestingly enough that the majority of parents that have used nutriiveda

up to this point tends to be a more highly educated and in many cases from

a medical or educational background of some sort. I have never spoken to so

many research scientists before in my life!!! (funny yesterday I was

speaking with a parent and telling her this and then later in the conversation

found out that she too works in a hospital lab....she was a research

scientist too!!)

>

> Anyway I have a new update to share that like the jumping over the bush

that Tanner did that I didn't even want him to do -but he now has the motor

skills for it-I want to include and share. I guess we can file this

" surge " under taking the good with the bad!!

>

> Tanner was typically my good son who listened more to what I told him.

In school as well if the teacher said " everyone needs to clean up " while

most didn't listen and ran off -Tanner would stay and help the teacher. Dakota

is my more typical teen who you have to repeat yourself before he listens-

which as many of you know with typical teens is annoying!

>

> Well Tanner as I pointed out before is now much more social with

children that typically only were friends with Dakota. When they would come

over

to my house Dakota and these friends would hang out together and Tanner had

other friends he would be with -but they wouldn't be together. Now Tanner

is not only hanging out with his brother and friends -but like last night

one of them invited Tanner to sleep over his house because Dakota is over

another friend's house.

>

> Just wanted to share that social observation because while it may not

seem like a surge -I can tell you I know that is as well as anything else on

the list. But here's the annoying part. I had to make Tanner's upper bunk

bed for one of their friend's that used to be just Dakota's friend that was

sleeping over. Typically this particular child would sleep in Dakota's room

-so I don't have to get the sheets and pillows and blankets for Tanner's

room. And the upper bunk with picking up the mattress etc. isn't the easiest

bed to make. OK so I come down the ladder and notice a stick of deodorant

on Tanner's bed. Tanner is walking toward his bathroom and I hand him, or

try to hand him, the deodorant which is on his bed -so clearly that he

used...and said " Tanner can you take this back to your bathroom? " And he

ignored

me!!!!! I had to ask him a few times and you don't understand -typically

Tanner would have just grabbed it from my hand and taken it to the bath

room. Typically Tanner and I could bond over how Dakota never listens.

Typically Tanner would say to me " Dakota never listens " And now here was Tanner

turning into a typical teen. Well when I talked to Tanner about it he just

said he didn't think it was a big deal and I " could have just dropped it on

the floor " OMG that is SOOOOO not Tanner!!!

>

> Anyway just wanted to share that I guess when we want our kids to be

normal -we do have to take that for all it is. So while I do miss my child who

used to listen and seemed take things more literally before -I guess if I

want a free thinker who is more " normal " I have to learn how to accept that

aspect of Tanner is gone -and treat him just like I do my other son now.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is neuro repair going on with Tanner

-and in fact I'd be shocked if in another year or so there is no way

anyone would ever know he ever had anything " wrong " with him...in fact right

now

-you'd have to look pretty darn close and I'd even have trouble finding

those areas. In fact -I'd say in a few areas now including academics and

growth (the child just turned 14 and is just under SIX FEET TALL and 147

pounds!!!) he is well above normal.

>

> So yes it was me that asked for normal but I'm glad that's what I wanted

even if it is annoying at times!!!

>

> Now how do I put that up here?
