Nutriiveda

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I posted this before but for some reason the archives aren't working for more

recent dates -drats have to write it again (love the archives!!)

The nutriiveda is gluten casein and lactose free -but it is made from the whey

isolate protein because it's the most easily digestible protein by the body.

If one has a 'true' milk allergy meaning they are allergic to the protein of the

milk not the lactose -they should not take the nutriiveda as even though it's

free of as much of the protein as possible -there will still be point zero

something percent of the milk protein in the whey because of what it's from.

Saying that I can tell you (and had written this before) that my mom has celiac

disease -my brother and I both had it as babies and I spent years in and out of

the hospital and almost died from it until put on a GFCF diet years ago.

Apparently from what they knew back then if you out live it you'll out grow it

by the age of 4 or so -but it can come back in later life....which is what

happened to my mom and I guess what I have to look forward to (YUCK!!!)

For the record GFCF saved my life and I appreciate that -but don't have pleasant

memories of it- put it that way.

My mom in addition to being GFCF is also lactose intolerant -you do NOT want to

be in the same room with my mother if she has milk!!!

Good news is that she's been on the Nutriiveda since mid or late October when

the first of us started -and " doesn't know where all this energy is coming from "

Prior to nutriiveda my mom was too thin -doesn't eat enough due to her

restrictive diet and probably her lack of energy had to do with lack of

nutrition.

Good news is that for someone like my mom who is GFCF and lactose intolerant -

the nutriiveda is perfect. It is my understanding however that if you are one

of the rare people that is allergic to the milk protein -you can not take the

nutriiveda.

I know the product contains cane sugar and stevia (all natural sweeteners)

because from what I'm told by the ayurvedic experts- some of the ingredients can

be bitter tasting. But again the product is 100% natural with no known side

effects and no drug interactions and while they are currently underway in a

human clinical trial with the nutriiveda -there have already been over 300

studies of the various ingredients in the nutriiveda. I can tell you before I

started I checked each one out and highly recommend each of you do the same both

on your own and with your child's doctor/nutritionist etc. The more you dig

-I'm sure like me the more impressed you'll be. Here's a good page to learn

about the doctors behind it -ingredients etc.

(have not yet spoken to Dr. Chopra or Dr. Simon but spoke with Suhas Kshirsagar

BAMS, M.D. from the company when he was taped for a Telemundo/NBC show we

arranged here in Florida for the weight loss/ayurvedic aspect see more at

http://www.nutrafacil.com or http://www.nutraeasy.com ....and PS -again the

same producer is in Miami is interested in doing a show about apraxia -I do not

want to talk about nutriiveda -just apraxia at this point. Any Spanish speaking

parents of apraxic children in Miami -or professionals -that can also speak

English as they will film both in Spanish for Telmundo and English for NBC -let

me know. My maiden name is Fernandez but don't speak Spanish!)

No, they don't need to and shouldn't take regular vitamins because

kids/adults get a full supply of vitamins/minerals via NV.

Thanks for your response and websites .

Evangelique has had the whole genetics work up at Sick Kids and McMaster and

they cannot find any syndrome. They have ruled out dwarfism because her body

is proportionate.

She has severe food allergies and has gluten intolerance so this product

looks like a great fit.

I will print out the ingredients and show her ped and dietician to see what

they say.

Thanks for your help

Lanny you have a unique situation as your child is so far under the

percentile for weight -from this chart closer to a one year old at 3 and a

half http://www.disabled

<http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/publish/height-weight-teens.shtml>

-world.com/artman/publish/height-weight-teens.shtml Is there a reason that

you know of why she is this tiny?

The nutriiveda is great to help nourish the body. It's not a weight loss

product it's a weight management product and for example my son Dakota and

my mother who both don't eat well and need to gain weight have gained weight

on it. My son Dakota is an extremely picky eater and refuses to eat many

things including most vegetables, and would rather hang out with his friends

than eat lunch for example which is why we now give it to him for lunch. My

mother has celiac disease and is on a gluten casein free d iet and besides

that she is lactose intolerant. She lives with my sister who will cook

dinner for her family and my mother -but my mother always has stomach issues

and doesn't eat enough or well. I know here we are sharing stories about how

our children (like my son Tanner) are doing amazing on it -but the thing is

for someone like my mother- well I don't even think I can go into all the

ways it's helping outside of energy and needed weight for example...but

let's just say it improves elimination issues for people who were not normal

before -and if you know anyone with celiac that does NOT mean constipation

even though it helps with that too.

What I would do if I were you is show it to your child's pediatrician for

your peace of mind. It does not have to be meal replacement and in fact at

her age you should probably use no more than 1 scoop a day of it which would

provide 10 grams of isolate protein amongst everything else that is nutrient

rich. Like we do with my son Dakota who we just raised to 2X a day yesterday

-you can have it along with a meal. You can mix it into food too or whatever

you tube feed her with I'm sure. Like I said I'd ju st check with her doctor

-but I would believe this could be a big help to her in regards to growth

getting this much good nutrition.

There is more info on the nutriiveda at the following sites

http://www.pursuitofresearch.org <http://www.pursuitofresearch.org>

http://www.nutraeasy.com <http://www.nutraeasy.com>

And I found this article which makes it seem high protein would be important

for a child like yours -and again the isolate protein is the most easily

digestible out of the proteins.

" A Pediatric nutritionist can also suggest ways that you can provide your

child with more calories by offering high calorie foods that are high in

protein with lots of nutrients, especially since he will need additional

calories to help him catch-up with his growth "

I see on the facebook page that it's $40.00/canister but I'm only seeing it in

packages of 2 canisters.  I'd like to give it a try but would prefer to invest

only $40, not $80 until I see how my severely ADHD, apraxic, autistic son with

a history of seizures responds.  Where are you all getting it and are you

ordering it as a 2 pack?

 

Thanks!

We just started my grandson on Nutriiveda. He has been diagnosed with austim. We

had his doctor take a look at the ingredients and she said they were all ok and

that we did not need to remove any of his supplements. My grandson is 4 and

weighs 36lbs. His mother started him on 1/2 scoop twice a day.

His doctor also said that whey is fine(my grandson has milk allergies)and that

the amino acids could possibly be beneficial. All in all she thought it was fine

to try.

Now that said, he apparently is acting a little hyper this morning at school so

his mom is going to reduce to 1/4 scoop twice a day and go a little slower.

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

Yes we did order the two pack from

http://www.pursuitofresearch.org/

I tried it first before we gave it to my grandson. I don't think you can order

one canister but best to ask

[Guest guest]

You 'can' order just one can from http://www.speech411.com but I'd prefer people

order it from the http://www.pursuitofresearch.org or http://www.nutraeasy.com

websites (no Kate doesn't matter which one) if you do try it because Zrii does

all the shipping for us, have live operators that are super helpful/ can answer

any questions/ they guarantee everything which makes it super easy....and they

charge less for shipping! All sites are the wholesale cost 80 per case of 2 (so

40 each) The Chopra.com site sells the nutriiveda for 95 for 2 canisters and

that's without shipping etc.

we all start with just wanting the one....but once you see it working- I

start panicking if I'm 'down' to one canister now and I'm far from the only one

that feels this way! This stuff is " like gold " and even though the shipping is

very reasonable by Zrii -they send it the pony express division of UPS -takes

about 10 days so keep that in mind so you don't run out. (and why I like to

have a few extra canisters at all times!)

My 5yr old nonverbal daughter has been on nutriiveda for about 1 week.  We have

also increased her medication about 6wks ago, so I'm not sure what is causing

the changes with my daughter, but I like what I am seeing, for the most part.  I

would appreciate any feedback.

 

1) more focused, able to sustain joint attention for a longer period of time.

2) even more interested in interacting with others then she has been

3) vocalizing more almost as if she is attempting to answer our questions and/or

communicate her needs.

4) some increase in imitation

5) less sensory seeking

6) no vocal stims for the past few days.

7) less crying and tantruming (usually because she is asked to do something and

she can't or doesn't understand what is expected of her).

 

Some negatives:

 

She is not sleeping well at night, wakes up every night for at least 2hrs (she

has never been a great sleeper but was doing better for awhile).  Again, I'm not

sure what the cause is.

 

She seems more anxious- possible because she is more aware of her limitations

(in ability to comprehend everything, express and motor plan?)

Thanks for any feedback

 

[Guest guest]

Here's my guess: part of your daughter's feelings could be due to Nutriiveda

helping the brain manufacture more serotonin. Serotonin is probably the

brain's idea-integrator -- it helps us focus. To do so, it probably

secondarily increases acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter of arousal. It

could be that as your daughter adjusts to increased serotonin overall, the

increase in acetylcholine will be less unusual, and she'll get aroused more

appropriately. She'll get the control of arousal aroused.

Increased serotonin may also reduce stimming and help one control one's

appetite.

I think I'm seeing some good effects on my daughter as I increase her meat

(tryptophan) and combine it with carefully-chosen carbohydrates (which help

tryptophan through the blood-brain barrier). My Nutriiveda order hasn't

arrived yet ...

Good luck!

Tim very interesting -I did find this on the turmeric and your theories -any

thoughts on this one aspect?

Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 2008 Feb;88(4):511-22. Epub 2007 Oct 25.

Protective effect of Curcumin, the active principle of turmeric (Curcuma longa)

in haloperidol-induced orofacial dyskinesia and associated behavioural,

biochemical and neurochemical changes in rat brain.

Bishnoi M, Chopra K, Kulkarni SK.

Centre with Potential for Excellence in Biomedical Sciences, Panjab University,

Chandigarh, 160014, India.

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a motor disorder of the orofacial region resulting

from chronic neuroleptic treatment. A high incidence and irreversibility of this

hyperkinetic disorder has been considered a major clinical issue in the

treatment of schizophrenia. The molecular mechanism related to the

pathophysiology of tardive dyskinesia is not completely known. Various animal

studies have demonstrated an enhanced oxidative stress and increased

glutamatergic transmission as well as inhibition in the glutamate uptake after

the chronic administration of haloperidol. The present study investigated the

effect of curcumin, an antioxidant, in haloperidol-induced tardive dyskinesia by

using different behavioural (orofacial dyskinetic movements, stereotypy,

locomotor activity, % retention), biochemical (lipid peroxidation, reduced

glutathione levels, antioxidant enzyme levels (SOD and catalase) and

neurochemical (neurotransmitter levels) parameters. Chronic administration of

haloperidol (1 mg/kg i.p. for 21 days) significantly increased vacuous chewing

movements (VCM's), tongue protrusions, facial jerking in rats which was

dose-dependently inhibited by curcumin. Chronic administration of haloperidol

also resulted in increased dopamine receptor sensitivity as evident by increased

locomotor activity and stereotypy and also decreased % retention time on

elevated plus maze paradigm. Pretreatment with curcumin reversed these

behavioral changes. Besides, haloperidol also induced oxidative damage in all

major regions of brain which was attenuated by curcumin, especially in the

subcortical region containing striatum. On chronic administration of

haloperidol, there was a decrease in turnover of dopamine, serotonin and

norepinephrine in both cortical and subcortical regions which was again

dose-dependently reversed by treatment with curcumin. The findings of the

present study suggested for the involvement of free radicals in the development

of neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia and point to curcumin as a possible

therapeutic option to treat this hyperkinetic movement disorder.

Inhibitory effect of curcuminoids on acetylcholinesterase activity and

attenuation of scopolamine-induced amnesia may explain medicinal use of turmeric

in Alzheimer's disease

Abstract

Curcuminoids (a mixture of curcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin and demethoxycurcumin)

share vital pharmacological properties possessed by turmeric, a well known curry

spice, considered useful in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study was

to evaluate if curcuminoids possess acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory and

memory enhancing activities. The in-vitro and ex-vivo models of AChE inhibitory

activity were used along with water maze test to study the effect on

memory in rats. Curcuminoids inhibited AChE in the in-vitro assay with IC50

value of 19.67, bisdemethoxycurcumin 16.84, demethoxycurcumin 33.14 and curcumin

67.69 µM. In the ex-vivo AChE assay, curcuminoids and its individual components

except curcumin showed dose-dependent (3–10 mg/kg) inhibition in frontal cortex

and hippocampus. When studied for their effect on memory at a fixed dose (10

mg/kg), all compounds showed significant (p < 0.001) and comparable effect in

scopolamine-induced amnesia. These data indicate that curcuminoids and all

individual components except curcumin possess pronounced AChE inhibitory

activity. Curcumin was relatively weak in the in-vitro assay and without effect

in the ex-vivo AChE model, while equally effective in memory enhancing effect,

suggestive of additional mechanism(s) involved. Thus curcuminoids mixture might

possess better therapeutic profile than curcumin for its medicinal use in AD.

Hildy,

I don't know a lot about neurotransmitters, but amino acids are

neurotransmitters. They are either excitatory or inhibitory and they work

together to create balance. Excitatory neurotransmitters can make someone feel

anxious and wired if they are not balanced with the partnering inhibitory

neurotransmitters. So maybe your child needs a different balance of amino acids?

I don't know. It's just a guess.

All the best,

Thanks .

 

That gives me something to think about & to question my neuro on.   My daughter

is also on anti seizure meds which depletes amino acids so the anxiety could be

completely non nutriiveda related? However, the past 2 days she is doing better

so it could simple have been what others on nutriiveda are experiencing with

the emotional highs and lows?

Also if you decide to go with speak may want to look up hypervitaminosis.

My son had MASSIVE regressions on Speak that horrify me to even think of. I had

to go to his school back then to explain to the entire school with Tanner in a

circle of friends why my son suddenly could no longer speak (ironic what they

call the product) because my son went from speaking the way he did here

http://www.debtsmart.net/talk/tanner.html to where he would open his mouth and

nothing would come out and he'd grope. It was a NIGHTMARE. The school, his

friends, teachers, professionals, us, neighbors, family -we all had to wait

patiently for Tanner to try to get out simple thoughts- and he would forget how

to say even simple things like...the letter B!!!!! And that was after less

than 2 weeks on this stuff. I spent many nights back then crying myself to sleep

and praying not just for him but for all the children who's parents reported

seizures etc. I have no idea why that product is still on the market to the

general public and have lost respect for any professional that would just

recommend it. I thank GOD every day that Tanner didn't stay profoundly

regressed from Speak. But even after 7 months my son never came back 100

percent but was close to where he was before. But I was thankful he did slowly

improve.

It wasn't until years later -and even within weeks of Nutriiveda that my son not

only came back to where he was before –but has soared beyond our wildest dreams.

And ironically the first one to say anything about Tanner's surges was not

us...it was once again the head of school at Tanner's school and noticed by all

the teachers and other students.

Nutriiveda is not a weight loss product. Nutriiveda is an all natural 100

percent FDA approved as food high quality nutrition that works with the body to

support the metabolic system. It is gluten, casein, fat, sodium, caffeine free

and contains all the essential amino acids and nutrients and all again from food

sources. Each ingredient is checked for heavy metals and Nutriiveda was

formulated by world renowned doctors including Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr.

Simon. There have been over 600 clinical studies to validate the health reasons

of each of the foods in it and there will probably be research to validate what

we are seeing in our group as the success rate is almost across the board for

all ages and all conditions so far it seems. I know that appears hard to

believe but it's probably only because if you understand nutrition -it's rare

for any of us to get all the essential amino acids from one food source as we do

in this product- and put that together with everything else and this product is

just mind blowing impressive. Nutriiveda will nourish and detox the body if

needed and yes if you have excess fat it will get rid of it –but if you are

underweight it will help you gain muscle. Below is just one of the recent

testimonies from Diane who's on Nutriiveda (same product) as her son. He had

surges and gained 3 pounds and shot up an inch or so in the same month that

Dianne lost 15 pounds and gained more focus.

" We're seeing incredible gains with Liam. Took him to his DAN doc on Monday and

she not only approved using NV (after verifying with me that the botanicals

weren't tainted in any way and the whey was casein-free), but agreed with taking

Liam off of the multivitamin (Vitaspectrum) she had put him on, adding only an

extra Folate + B12 supplement and zinc, since blood work showed he is low in

these things. She remarked on how much healthier he looks - no longer has

translucent skin, lots of color in his face. Liam has also grown 1 1/2 inches

and gained 3 lbs. He seems happier, and no longer begs to stay home from

preschool. Still more attentive and engaged. Asking WHAT questions (had never

done before) and speaking in more complex sentences. He is even imitating the

British accent the Pig family has on Peppa Pig! too cute! His imaginative play

has increased, including - and this was a big one we thought - bonding with one

of his stuffed animals and actually naming it. He has never cared about stuffed

animals before - ever. He has carried this one around with him now for 3 days

and sleeps holding onto it. He puts it in his wagon and wheels it around the

house, and it plays games and watches DVDs with him, too. We are thrilled! He is

sleeping deeper/longer/better. His appetite, which has always been good, is even

better. We are so very pleased!

As for me - I've lost about 15 lbs., my energy level is great, I'm sleeping

better, and my head is much clearer - not sure exactly how to describe what has

happened, but I've felt so foggy for so many years that I've not even been able

to recall the words to songs that I hear over and over. Maybe processing speed

of some sort? At any rate, that has resolved, too.

I wish I understood exactly what it is in NV that is helping my son and me so

very much, but whatever it is its making me feel better than I have in years,

and it's clearly making a big difference for our son, which everyone has noticed

and remarked on!

You can read lots more here http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html

And you may have missed the amazing recent update about Robin's 26 year old

daughter Mel who had in the past few years previous to being on Nutriiveda was

hospitalized and almost died from her seizures –has been seizure free for 3

months since being on Nutriiveda…and according to neuro testing and her doctors

there is no explanation to the change in her brain to healthy other than

" nutriiveda " and that " by the end of the year should be off all seizure

medication "

There is more to Mel's amazing journey but I suggest you also read the blog here

if you have a chance http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/about/

My advice to you -in addition to doing your homework online -take the ingredient

list of each product to your pediatrician, a nutritionist and ask them which

they would recommend. I already know the answer I got across the board so I'm

sure you'll get the same.

By the way you didn't ask about fish oils -just fish oils!!!

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=115029735601 & topic=7401

And the beauty is -you can do both fish oils and nutriiveda -many of us are.

Why not make sure your child is getting both essential fatty acids and essential

amino acids?

Hi

We are in same boat. 4.5yr old(abut 40Lb) with autism. Has language processing

issues with little spontaneous speech.

We started 0.5 scoop/day, 3rd day today. Has been very agitated ever since.

Trying to avoid us and some behaviors returning. But that comes and goes for

him(am not sure if it is nutriiveda).

What is the dosage recommendation for a 40Lber?

Regards,

Soumya

Hi Soumya and Telma,

Nutriiveda as we have found it reported appears to be HIGHLY dosage dependent.

The dosages that are being approved by most pediatricians are here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html but in general for both of you - older

than 3 years old but younger than 9 the dosage would be 2 scoops. Since the

nutrients are not added -all food based -some traditional medical and Dan

doctors are going higher but I'd check with your doctor. Most stop all supps

other than what is medical necessary, you don't need a multi vitamin, but fish

oils are fine with Nutriiveda -you may actually be able to lower the fish oil

dosage a bit after a month or two on Nutriiveda and not notice a regression.

(one contains essential fatty acids and one contains essential amino acid-

essential means the body needs it but can't assimilate it so needs to consume it

in the diet...but most kids -and many adults- don't eat enough or healthy enough

to get what is essential to the body) Note to Soumya: Surges are being

reported as soon as 3 days but there is a good chance you wouldn't notice any

changes on 1/2 dosage of what is recommended no less 1/4 of the dosage. Some

children get agitated just by you trying to get something new into their diet-

many kids act like that when you try to get them to eat their vegetables for

example, and one could compare nutriiveda to getting a child to eat veggies - so

could be the nutriiveda but not for the reason you think. Once you get the full

dosage of 2 scoops in a day in for even just 3 days let us know. Note to Telma

there is a huge amount of suggestions on how to serve Nutriiveda mixed in liquid

or food at the above link but you can get to that section direct here

http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html#serve

Both of you may also want to print out a copy of the survey which we have in a

PDF so you can follow it prior to taking the survey

Online survey http://pursuitofresearch.org/survey.html

Copy of survey you can print out

http://pursuitofresearch.org/NutriiVeda%20Survey.pdf

I'll be back from holiday on Wednesday and hope to answer more then -but this

was an easy one (two?)

Hi Soumva, how are you?

I gave a little to my son yesterday and he was very hyper. And he is already

hyper. I hope that goes away.

I don't know the dosage recommendaded, I want to find it out too.

and I am hoping to see some changes, or better hear his voice!!!

If he seems too agitated and everyone is really having a hard time, cut the dose

in half and give him 1/4 scoop for a week and then up it. You go through a

period of detox the first few weeks which can cause agitation and melt downs.

http://www.pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html#dosage

the dosage answer is the second FAQ. Half a scoop is 3 teaspoons, so if you do

decide to ease him into is more slowly, measure with teaspoons instead of the

scoop.

Liralyn that typically would be the correct advice to cut dosage but. Someone

using 1/4 dosage for 3 days or the person that just posted that used 1:2 scoop

for one day is probably just sharing typical behavior and if they want to

actually try nutriiveda they need to use dosage suggested on the pursuit site

link you just posted. Nutrrveda is HIGHLY dosage dependant as we are hearing on

feedback. Half of what either parent used for a day or so is only 1/8 th

dosage. Nutriiveda is incredible but give it a chance!! (sorry can't text

more about 2 get on plane. But check last message I just posted to answer this

in full)

I have a question about this product. I have searched, and cannot find the

answer.

I have an older child who should be using 6 scoops per day, according to the

guidelines. I started to use it, and within three days, she would drink the

Nutriiveda, but pretty much nothing else!

I didn't feel comfortable with NV being the ONLY thing she consumes in a day, so

I took it in to our doctor. He said that 6 scoops was giving her too much

protein (60 grams -- he said she should aim for between 30-40 grams based on

her height/weight). He said that it was understandable that she was " full "

after consuming the product, and he definitely was not OK with her not having

" real " food each day.

So, I am wondering -- has anyone had results with less than the recommended

" dose? " She just cannot consume 6 scoops (even with just adding water -- which

is not her favorite) and still have room to eat remotely normally.

Suggestions anyone???
