Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi ! Not Barbara but I'm sure she'll get back to you when she has a chance. Just wanted to say that through Pursuit of Research we currently are not offering one canister (which would be 40 dollars) as we were having the products shipped out through Zrii corporate. If you only wanted to order one canister you could order through http://www.speech411.com and then you could order just one chocolate or vanilla. There are a few professionals that are either using the product for themselves/clients or both. I don't believe any at this point would be an expert as even the medical doctors Dr. Chopra and Dr. Simon who helped formulate this did not create this product knowing it would have affects on anything but the metabolic system....then again perhaps we've all just unlocked another piece of the puzzle to what's going on with our kids and it is all rooted in the metabolic system? I feel most comfortable having each of you check with your own child's doctors and professionals even if there are professionals from this group now using and supporting Cherab. I am that confident that the product will be approved -and that if the professional is knowledgeable about nutrition will be impressed by the product. I know Barbara had told me about one medical doctor in her area (the DC area) and the dosages I put out here were the ones that he agreed with. (but I did look up on the NIH website -so I cheated Here's the ingredient list for the chocolate and vanilla to share with your child's doctor: chocolate http://www.up0.net/content/666799/Choco_NutritionFacts.pdf vanilla http://www.up0.net/content/666799/Vanilla_NutritionFacts.pdf If you order through the Pursuit of Research it does set everyone up on an autoship...but that can be cancelled or paused at any time. Plus the product has a 100 percent money back guarantee. From what I read your daughter who is 2 years 9 months could get 1 scoop a day (together or split in half which one of my MD friends thought would be better) and your 8 year old daughter could have 2 scoops a day -again split up would probably be best. Again double check all I have written here with your children's pediatrician or neuromedical doctor...and/or anyone who works with your child that is a dietician etc. that you trust and respect. The more knowledgeable the better. I'm finding that like the fish oils the better doctors are today aware of the importance of nutrition and it's effect on our children...and all of us. And don't forget -join us on BigTent!! Barbara who is an SLP that is very knowledgeable about Big Tent as well due to other groups she belongs to there...thus one of the people that convinced me it's a great place for our group to grow will be starting an ask the expert section. At least get started -it's free and easy. It's a great site to not only share -but start blogs and personal pages if you want too! https://www.bigtent.com/groups/cherab PS -if you are going to use the nutriiveda for 2 kids...the one canister will last you around one week as there are only 30 scoops per canister ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thank you and yes Barbara also replied on my post! Thank you for your thoughtful concerns and support for ALL of us in this group! It means a lot to have someone like you and Barbara constantly answering questions repeatedly and unconditionally for all of those " worried " , " crazy " and " scared " mommies . Thank you again and YES I will try to order 2 canisters to start with, since I also wanted my older daughter to try as well.  Take care,  From: kiddietalk <kiddietalk@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Update on Tanner on Nutriiveda/interestingnew study Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2010, 2:12 PM  Hi !
