Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 My son wouldn't drink it. Doesn't mix in well with a spoon. Will try using blender next time. I did try the cookie recipe and he ate it but he had to brush his teeth afterwards as it left chocolate on his teeth. How long should it defrost until you eat it? I eliminated the raisins and chocolate chips as he doesn't eat them either. I called it his brownie cookie and shaped it into a square. Tried to eat it right out of the freezer but it was too hard. Maybe it defrosted too much and that's why it got stuck in his teeth? Any other recipes out there? Thanks Lori [ ] NV I've been reading all of the positive posts on NV and am more more curious about trying it for my son. Does it come in a capsule or powder form? My son can not swallow pills but does take supplements in juice. Is the taste really overpowering? Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hi - I do not write much on this group. I mostly read. I now want to shout from the roof tops what NV is doing for my youngest daughter. The surge, I'm afraid to honestly jinx it - it just seems too good to be true. Lexie is making more words, more sentences, and she is so much more verbal. She has always had little white/red bumps on her upper arms, upper legs and cheeks. Her pediatrician always has said that this was dead skin. Really?! We changed her diet, nothing changed. She has now been on NV going on 3 weeks and the bumps are almost all gone!!! I have chills knowing how wonderful this product is for our children. Lexie is truly fond of the no bake cookies. She loves them. (The surges we have seen and to know she isn't even on a full dose..I just have to sing praises!!!) I am so grateful for this group. I would be absolutely lost without each of your emails/blogs. Have a wonderful Sunday!!! Lora - mother of 3 girls - youngest with apraxia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Wow Lora! That is wonderful! As a mother I can really identify with what it's like to have a child with a rash on their skin. My Isaac had eczema when he was born and it didn't go away until he was about 6 months old. We had to go get " scent free " everything! That helped a lot. You are going through the absolute joy that many of us are experiening when we see our child doing something or improving in areas we never thought possible before. This stuff gives you hope. That's it wrapped up in a beautiful canister! We all want the best of our children to shine through and we want to feel that they will have the same opportunities that every other child will have. Many times though, we see the disability as a huge obstacle, this huge monster that is going to steal the future from our children in one way or another... what Nutriiveda has done, has given me hope that this disorder can be beaten, be healed, that the painful, limiting effects of it can eventually go away and the rest of the world will see the beauty underneath that I have always seen. This will help your child break through that shell and shine! Keep posting to the group what you're seeing! This is exciting that another child is being helped so much by this! Congratulations on her progress! You're gonna see more so hold on to your hat! Sincerely, Romesa The Nutriiveda Sheriff 334-220-8140 > > > > Hi - I do not write much on this group. I mostly read.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Lora, wanted to ask about the little bumps on your daugther. My daugther Adeline has had these since birth. She is 28 months. She has a chromosonal deletion on the long arm of her 4th chromosome, reflux, development delays and is non verbal. They first started out on her arms, and now she has some on her legs. I have asked all 12 or so of her specialist and no one can give me an answer about them. The first place I ever saw the bumps mentioned was in the late talker. She was on the coromega orange squeeze and i changed to barlean's omega swirl which has the omega 3,6 and 9 after i read the late talker. i also do epsom salt baths. wonder if other parents have noticed these on their children too? thanks lindy > > Hi - I do not write much on this group.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I'm concerned about any soy in the NV since it is a problem for my son, and I also have some other questions on the NV. Please let me know if anyone can answer them. Thanks: 1. Is NV soy free? If not soy free what is the source of soy? 2. What is meant by " whole foods " ? I have read that whey proteins are extremely fragile and can only endure low temperatures so the source of them (i.e. being undenatured) is critical. 3. had mentioned wanting to limit vitamin A retinols but the NV provides 50% of daily recommended values. I am guessing this is likely for an adult which would make the DRV for the child higher. Why is it beneficial to limit the retinols and why is the form the Vitamin A is taking in NV acceptable? Thanks From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of romesa1 Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 10:25 AM Subject: [ ] Re: Hello, another new person here Hello , I can identify with what you are going through. Times are tough for a lot of us. Have you looked into Easter Seals? We have one here in Montgomery and a woman who has worked with Apraxic children for over 25 years is seeing my son. I would look into it. It's worth a shot. Have you read up on NV? You can read up on it on the http://pursuitofresearch.org website. I know it would be a leap of faith and especially hard since things are tight financially, but, there is a 30 day money back guarantee and I think once you see it helping your child (like I did, within 24 hours) you'll do whatever you have to, to keep him on it. I'm right there with you, trust me. Give me a call any time and I'd love to share more with you, answer any questions you might have, etc... I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hi , I can answer your questions but I also highly suggest you just take the ingredients and share them with the most knowledgeable about nutrition medical or nutritional professional you can find- PhD even better. Before I put my son on NV I too didn't understand what an expensive high quality product this is- never heard of most of the ayurvedic foods in it either. So I checked this out and got NV approved with not just Tanner's pediatrician and my friends who were medical and PhD doctors, nutritionists, authors in nutrition, a friend who is well known with a PhD to train personal trainers world wide etc (can provide any of their names and have if you check the archives)...but I also went on the internet and called PhDs in ayurveda as I knew nothing about what that was. Experts in nutrition use the following words to describe NV across the board " impressive " " high quality nutritional product " and at worst will say " well don't know if it's going to help ____ but it's certainly going to be healthy " And PLEASE share if you have heard anything but from ANYONE who knows about nutrition!!! I'm now using NV as a gauge to see how knowledgeable one is in nutrition -and I know most of us as parents are not. I mean no offense -but most of us have never heard of ayurveda prior to NV. So what is ayurveda? Ayurveda simply means the " science of life " and it's actually more common in the west than we know. Chicken soup for a cold? Comfort foods? Food for thought? Those are all examples of expressions or traditions of using food to help the body help itself. If you have a headache in the west we take aspirin -in the east perhaps some tea and relax outside in nature or take a warm bath. (just an example -don't quote me as I'm not an ayurvedic doctor!!!) As a western neurologist and eastern ayurvedic doctor who is co founder of The Chopra Center (and one of the doctors who formulated NV as well http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html ) Dr. Simon speaks of the internal pharmacy which represents ayurveda. What is known is that we each have an internal pharmacy that is greater than any outside pharmacy -but the body needs essential nutrients in order to function at top potential. Nutriiveda is formulated by doctors who blended the 5000 year old ancient medical wisdom from the East with the validation and knowledge of Western science. NV was formulated by world renowned medical doctors including Dr. Deepak Chopra http://pursuitofresearch.org/advisors.html but....it was NOT formulated for our children, for special needs, for autism, seizures, apraxia, TBI etc. That I discovered by complete 100 percent accident -it was developed as an ayurvedic way to support the metabolic system of any " dosha " -to gently help rid the body of excess ama and pounds if needed, and to nourish and support lean muscle if needed. It is not unknown that most in the West even if overweight are undernourished. I have shared numerous times that I discovered a year ago that NV has much greater affects on our children due to my son Tanner -I shared it with others, and again it's been a year now and these are just a few of the testimonies http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html and this one I just put up for seizures http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15306 & post=93938 & uid=115029735601#post93\ 938 There is no doubt in my mind that it will be validated for any one of a number of reasons -many linked to science and even cutting edge research -that NV will be proven to help with neuro repair amongst other functions. I suspect there are nutrients in it that are missing from our diets for many reasons. Again two links on this http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html and http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15272 & uid=115029735601 Here's a sheet you can share with your child's doc -we are working on updating the sites, putting together new ones based on so much more information -but I'm sure for now this is still good enough as it has been so far even before we had all the success we have had with NV -and with no side effects other than occasionally just like with fish oils the child may be for about a week a bit more " hyper " ...some however who reported that came back later and changed it to more " aware " But either way - much in the way of surges even with that if it happens. http://pursuitofresearch.org/NutriiVeda_Information.pdf To the best I can right now -here are your answers. Please feel free to call me direct EST 772 335 5135 as I have spoken with various professionals and parents and probably have heard just about every question imaginable at this point. Once you do your research whether you decide to use NV or not with your child is of course your decision -but I'm already beyond that....to me -it's a shame that one wouldn't even try this (which is why I tell people that are skeptical to take it to a top PhD in medicine and nutrition!) because as we know from recent news the average US family feeds their child a diet that contains 40% of it's calories from junk food. http://www.themoneytimes.com/featured/20101004/study-finds-us-children-get-40-th\ eir-calories-junk-food-id-10130575.html So honestly I don't care what the average US parent thinks at this point. I again know this will be validated based on what I've seen in my own children -14 and 16, the reports back from both of their schools, the friends I have who have children on it, the parents in this group...and I'm not even going into everything but this doesn't just work for neuro conditions (diabetes- OMG!!! my friend who is an internal medical doctor out of St Barnabas in NJ Dr Ross who is type 2 diabetic is off her insulin 100 percent (!!) on NV) Answers: 1. There is no soy in NV -in fact that was one of the first things picked up by the nutritionists I shared this with -that the product is pretty much void of any of the common allergens -casein, soy, nuts etc. 2. Each ingredients in NV (please see both chocolate and vanilla here) http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html are certified as " foods " by the FDA. The nutrients, ie: all the nutrients including vitamins and essential amino acids, are not added -they are there in the food. That is why it's considered whole food supplementation. You are not getting the essential amino acids in isolation -you are getting an isolate that is of the top quality probably in the world (and if you doubt me -please check with the top nutritional experts you know -try to find a 100 percent natural casein free whey isolate alone...anywhere!!) Here is the ingredients from chocolate NV -again each one of them are foods in themselves. Whey Protein Isolates (Amino Acids: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cystin, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Thereonine, Trytophan, Tyrosine, Valine), Rice Life powder (Brown Rice), Natural Cocoa Powder, Apple Fiber, Organic Cane Sugar, Proprietary Ayurvedic Blend (Guggul, Amalaki, Green Tea, Haritaki, Turmeric, Gymnerma, Cayenne Pepper), Xanthan Gum, Stevia, L-Taurine, L-Theanine. Whole food supplementation is the purest form of supplementation -the most easily digestible by the body. Clearly based on the overwhelming and dramatic across the board results we are seeing the essential amino acids or whatever is in NV that is working is not so delicate that it can't be mixed into frosting or frozen into a Popsicle or even baked into Rice Krispy treats http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html that it won't work. Again appears to be working for most -but the biggest problem is because children are so used to high fat, sodium and sugar " foods " is getting this fat, sodium, casein, caffeine free product with only 2 grams of organic sugar into a child! But most of us do...doctor it up -mix it with Hershey syrup if you must -but I have never ever seen anything work with the speed and percentage across the board. I hope this helps but please don't hesitate to ask more questions. I know I dug this apart when I first looked at it -but I highly encourage you not to look just here for answers -but to find them in real medical doctors that you know and trust -because then you like me will break the hypnotic trance we all seem to be held in that makes us so suspicious of something that is formulated by a world renowned medical doctor that is all natural -but won't even wonder what the " butter " is made of at the movie theater...well you probably don't ever use that because hydrogenated coconut oil with artificial butter flavoring is typically used to pop the kernals, and there’s an artificial-butter-flavored topping available that is composed largely of hydrogenated soybean oil. Oh and PS -Bill Farley the owner of the company http://www.meetbillfarley.com and all the doctors including Dr. Simon and Dr. Chopra whom I met and who are just as wonderful as Dr. Simon appears in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrA1hA-_3-g & feature=related know about what is going on in this group and are thrilled -but nothing can be said by the company until there is research -which again there will be.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hi, just wanted to give everyone an update on my 27-month old son with verbal apraxia (and possible limb apraxia). He’s been on NV for 8 days now, with 1 full scoop per day (1/2 in the am, ½ in the pm). We haven’t really noticed any improvement in his speech (in either attempting to talk more or talking more clearly). The 2nd full day on he was extremely hyper, much more than normal, but that went away the next day. The 4th and 5th days on he was constipated, but that went away as well. Are these 2 items normal for the NV user? Is 8 days a fair enough time to gage NV’s helpfulness? He’s also taking 0.5 teaspoon of Nordic naturals ProEFA and enzymes with his meals since he has malabsorption issues (he was malnourished up until 8 months, he’s adopted from Ethiopia).

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 It is best not to evaluate for any positive changes until he has been on NV for at least 3-4 weeks. It does seem to be dosage dependent, so it’s good that he is getting a scoop/day. Make sure that he is getting enough fluids. Multiple his weight by .6 to get the total oz of fluids/day—total of all water, milk, juice, etc. A slight increase in activity level is normal at first due to the Bcomplex vitamins that are present (not added) in the NV. Constipation occurs if the fluid intake is not sufficient. So, in my opinion, continue the NV for at least a month without adding or changing anything else and then reassess how he is doing. Remember to look at all the areas: speech, fine motor, gross motor, receptive/expressive language, etc. Warmest wishes, Barbara Barbara A. , M.S., CCC-SLP CEO/ Help Me Speak, LLC <http://www.helpmespeak.com/> http://www.helpmespeak.com (o) 410-442-9791 (f) 410-442-9783 2500 Wallington Way; Suite 103 Marriottsville, MD 21104 follow us on FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Marriottsville-MD/Help-Me-Speak-LLC/104628852032 Call me with any questions about NutriiVeda! www.hms.myzrii.com ********************************************************************************\ ********** Above email is for intended recipient only and may be confidential.

He’s been on NV for 8 days now, with 1 full scoop per day (1/2 in the am, ½ in the pm). We haven’t really noticed any improvement in his speech (in either attempting to talk more or talking more clearly). The 2nd full day on he was extremely hyper, much more than normal, but that went away the next day. The 4th and 5th days on he was constipated, but that went away as well. Are these 2 items normal for the NV user? Is 8 days a fair enough time to gage NV’s helpfulness? He’s also taking 0.5 teaspoon of Nordic naturals ProEFA and enzymes with his meals since he has malabsorption issues (he was malnourished up until 8 months, he’s adopted from Ethiopia). Thanks From: <mailto: %40> [mailto: <mailto: %40> ] On Behalf Of kiddietalk Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 6:32 PM <mailto: %40> Subject: [ ] Re: NV Hi , I can answer your questions but I also highly suggest you just take the ingredients and share them with the most knowledgeable about nutrition medical or nutritional professional you can find- PhD even better. Before I put my son on NV I too didn't understand what an expensive high quality product this is- never heard of most of the ayurvedic foods in it either. So I checked this out and got NV approved with not just Tanner's pediatrician and my friends who were medical and PhD doctors, nutritionists, authors in nutrition, a friend who is well known with a PhD to train personal trainers world wide etc (can provide any of their names and have if you check the archives)...but I also went on the internet and called PhDs in ayurveda as I knew nothing about what that was. Experts in nutrition use the following words to describe NV across the board " impressive " " high quality nutritional product " and at worst will say " well don't know if it's going to help ____ but it's certainly going to be healthy " And PLEASE share if you have heard anything but from ANYONE who knows about nutrition!!! I'm now using NV as a gauge to see how knowledgeable one is in nutrition -and I know most of us as parents are not. I mean no offense -but most of us have never heard of ayurveda prior to NV. So what is ayurveda? Ayurveda simply means the " science of life " and it's actually more common in the west than we know. Chicken soup for a cold? Comfort foods? Food for thought? Those are all examples of expressions or traditions of using food to help the body help itself. If you have a headache in the west we take aspirin -in the east perhaps some tea and relax outside in nature or take a warm bath. (just an example -don't quote me as I'm not an ayurvedic doctor!!!) As a western neurologist and eastern ayurvedic doctor who is co founder of The Chopra Center (and one of the doctors who formulated NV as well http://pursuitofresearch.org/pursuit.html ) Dr. Simon speaks of the internal pharmacy which represents ayurveda. What is known is that we each have an internal pharmacy that is greater than any outside pharmacy -but the body needs essential nutrients in order to function at top potential. Nutriiveda is formulated by doctors who blended the 5000 year old ancient medical wisdom from the East with the validation and knowledge of Western science. NV was formulated by world renowned medical doctors including Dr. Deepak Chopra http://pursuitofresearch.org/advisors.html but....it was NOT formulated for our children, for special needs, for autism, seizures, apraxia, TBI etc. That I discovered by complete 100 percent accident -it was developed as an ayurvedic way to support the metabolic system of any " dosha " -to gently help rid the body of excess ama and pounds if needed, and to nourish and support lean muscle if needed. It is not unknown that most in the West even if overweight are undernourished. I have shared numerous times that I discovered a year ago that NV has much greater affects on our children due to my son Tanner -I shared it with others, and again it's been a year now and these are just a few of the testimonies http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html and this one I just put up for seizures http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15306 <http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15306 <http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15306 & post=93938 & uid=115029735601#post9\ 3938> & post=93938 & uid=115029735601#post93938> & post=93938 & uid=115029735601#post93938 There is no doubt in my mind that it will be validated for any one of a number of reasons -many linked to science and even cutting edge research -that NV will be proven to help with neuro repair amongst other functions. I suspect there are nutrients in it that are missing from our diets for many reasons. Again two links on this http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html and http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15272 <http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15272 <http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=15272 & uid=115029735601> & uid=115029735601> & uid=115029735601 Here's a sheet you can share with your child's doc -we are working on updating the sites, putting together new ones based on so much more information -but I'm sure for now this is still good enough as it has been so far even before we had all the success we have had with NV -and with no side effects other than occasionally just like with fish oils the child may be for about a week a bit more " hyper " ...some however who reported that came back later and changed it to more " aware " But either way - much in the way of surges even with that if it happens. http://pursuitofresearch.org/NutriiVeda_Information.pdf To the best I can right now -here are your answers. Please feel free to call me direct EST 772 335 5135 as I have spoken with various professionals and parents and probably have heard just about every question imaginable at this point. Once you do your research whether you decide to use NV or not with your child is of course your decision -but I'm already beyond that....to me -it's a shame that one wouldn't even try this (which is why I tell people that are skeptical to take it to a top PhD in medicine and nutrition!) because as we know from recent news the average US family feeds their child a diet that contains 40% of it's calories from junk food. http://www.themoneytimes.com/featured/20101004/study-finds-us-children-get-40-th\ eir-calories-junk-food-id-10130575.html So honestly I don't care what the average US parent thinks at this point. I again know this will be validated based on what I've seen in my own children -14 and 16, the reports back from both of their schools, the friends I have who have children on it, the parents in this group...and I'm not even going into everything but this doesn't just work for neuro conditions (diabetes- OMG!!! my friend who is an internal medical doctor out of St Barnabas in NJ Dr Ross who is type 2 diabetic is off her insulin 100 percent (!!) on NV) Answers: 1. There is no soy in NV -in fact that was one of the first things picked up by the nutritionists I shared this with -that the product is pretty much void of any of the common allergens -casein, soy, nuts etc. 2. Each ingredients in NV (please see both chocolate and vanilla here) http://pursuitofresearch.org/ingredients.html are certified as " foods " by the FDA. The nutrients, ie: all the nutrients including vitamins and essential amino acids, are not added -they are there in the food. That is why it's considered whole food supplementation. You are not getting the essential amino acids in isolation -you are getting an isolate that is of the top quality probably in the world (and if you doubt me -please check with the top nutritional experts you know -try to find a 100 percent natural casein free whey isolate alone...anywhere!!) Here is the ingredients from chocolate NV -again each one of them are foods in themselves. Whey Protein Isolates (Amino Acids: Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cystin, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, Thereonine, Trytophan, Tyrosine, Valine), Rice Life powder (Brown Rice), Natural Cocoa Powder, Apple Fiber, Organic Cane Sugar, Proprietary Ayurvedic Blend (Guggul, Amalaki, Green Tea, Haritaki, Turmeric, Gymnerma, Cayenne Pepper), Xanthan Gum, Stevia, L-Taurine, L-Theanine. Whole food supplementation is the purest form of supplementation -the most easily digestible by the body. Clearly based on the overwhelming and dramatic across the board results we are seeing the essential amino acids or whatever is in NV that is working is not so delicate that it can't be mixed into frosting or frozen into a Popsicle or even baked into Rice Krispy treats http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html that it won't work. Again appears to be working for most -but the biggest problem is because children are so used to high fat, sodium and sugar " foods " is getting this fat, sodium, casein, caffeine free product with only 2 grams of organic sugar into a child! But most of us do...doctor it up -mix it with Hershey syrup if you must -but I have never ever seen anything work with the speed and percentage across the board. I hope this helps but please don't hesitate to ask more questions. I know I dug this apart when I first looked at it -but I highly encourage you not to look just here for answers -but to find them in real medical doctors that you know and trust -because then you like me will break the hypnotic trance we all seem to be held in that makes us so suspicious of something that is formulated by a world renowned medical doctor that is all natural -but won't even wonder what the " butter " is made of at the movie theater...well you probably don't ever use that because hydrogenated coconut oil with artificial butter flavoring is typically used to pop the kernals, and there’s an artificial-butter-flavored topping available that is composed largely of hydrogenated soybean oil. Oh and PS -Bill Farley the owner of the company http://www.meetbillfarley.com and all the doctors including Dr. Simon and Dr. Chopra whom I met and who are just as wonderful as Dr. Simon appears in this video < <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrA1hA-_3-g & feature=related> & feature=related> & feature=related know about what is going on in this group and are thrilled -but nothing can be said by the company until there is research -which again there will be. But our website is approved by all and I was told by the wonderful Mr. Bill Farley to " keep doing what I'm doing " in sharing. And please do look up his background- I'm sure you'll understand why I have no doubt in my mind this will be validated!!!! (hint -solid Billionaire since the 80s) If you do decide to try NV -please support Cherab as we are raising monies for PUFA research too (again don't think we'll need to raise monies for NV research!) here's how you can help http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735601 <http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735601 <http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735601 & topic=14809> & topic=14809> & topic=14809 Warm regards, (and since I brought up ayurveda...Namaste ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
