Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 My dad was from Spain and Portugal...but born in Cuba, but his grandparents on the Castilian Spain side were from Ireland. They were all Catholic. My mom's family are all from Germany and Austria and she was raised in a Jewish orphanage in Brooklyn -so she's Jewish I was brought up to respect all religions and we celebrated many holidays. Most of my blood relatives are Catholic- many drink the nutriiveda -my mom's Jewish and she loves it too however. I think they are working on the Kosher certification -here's what I found on the Q and A page Is the product Kosher? The product is not certified kosher at this time; however, there are plans to receive this certification in the future. My neighbor is Christian-she's the pro golfer Laurie Rinker (and she is just one of the Christians I know that LOVE nutriiveda) Are you asking because the doctor that formulated it may be/is Hindu? I have no idea but learned about stuff like this years ago when I grew up Jewish and Spanish in Jersey. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Wow I am really not sure how to answer this question as I really don't know what this has to do with Nutriiveda. For the record yes we are Christian and our whole family is Christian and never once did this question come from our family when they ask about Nutriiveda.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I am just hoping that this was a typing mistake. When i first read this message my eyes did POP OUT. I still consider myself to be a newbie as far as Apraxia is concerned. Since I have been writing a lot on Nutriiveda, I couldn't help myself to say a few words. If my memory is right, I don't remember anyone mentioning about religion when this product was discussed. I have only shared my knowledge about those natural herbs. I am deeply disturbed that such a thought has been introduced. CLARIFICAITION: Vedas are Holy Scriptures of Hinduism. Nutriiveda is a product used for Weight Management which has been heavily discussed in this forum because it has somehow helped some of our apraxic kids. This product is not propagating or tied to any religion. This group consists of hard-working parents who share their experiences, give opinions on therapies, give their experiences on supplements, give ideas if something worked or not . Because of their frankness we all have found something or the other to try out with our own kids. To bring religion into this group of motivated, unbiased and well-wished parents is totally out-of-league. Choosing or not choosing to do is every parents' right, because they are THE BEST AND THE ONLY WELL-WISHER OF THEIR KIDS. We all are seeking answers and ideas to somehow bring the language into our kids to make them more independent. Each day we all pray to GOD to give us that MIRACLE to help our kids. So lets us all put that good thought and energy into this group to bring THE BEST IN US in order TO HELP ALL OUR KIDS. sowmya > > What is the religious link with Nutriiveda? > Are there any Christian parents giving Nutriiveda? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'm Christian and if I could afford it, would give this product a try. Look up Romans 14:14, 17 and 20 All food is fine to eat, but we need to be careful not to let our food choices cause problems in the church or harm in our relationship to others I Corinthians 8:4-7 Even meat from animals offered up to idols is fine to eat, the problem was if a Christian went into the temple to eat that meat and others walking by could have their faith shaken. I believe that all of the ingredients are from plants and food made by God and, therefore, potentially beneficial. You can e-mail me privately if you have more questions.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Could someone please explain to me what this topic is about? ....... What does religious background have to do with a supplement? Do supplements have Religious backgrounds? I know that some herbal remedies had some religious significance to ancient cultures..... Am I clueless???? My response to this would be that there is no religious background ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Ok-- see now, then something like this might give me pause to think as well. I believe in a balance, but my beliefs as a Christian obviously wouldn't be coming from the Hindu god of Ayurveda, but I would shy away from a company that would believe this.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 This question as not ment to upset anyone, but from my perspective was an important question. Yes I know that vedas are holy scriptures of hinduism. I am sorry that it is felt that this question is out-of-league. All my decision for my child are made with my 'world view' which is based on my religious views. So this is why this question was needed for me to ask to give me more information to make a decision. I do major research including reading many medical publications from sources like pubmed regarding Apraxia of Speech. Again this question was not ment to upset anyone. I am sorry that the question seamed out of place. Herbs and supplements in and of themselves do not have a religious background. However Zrii as a company looks like it may. According to their website " And the practice of Ayurveda, which aims to create dynamic balance in all areas of health " This is a system based on Hindu god of Ayurveda. Since I am not hindu nor believe the same things this question is a lagit. question for me to ask. Again I DO NOT mean to put my believes onto anyone else, but I needed to ask this question for my self. I hope this explains myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Most of the people I know are Christians (my husband reminded me that he is one too) and none of them understand this. I did find out from questioning as this was so off in left field to me that it reminded one doctor of prejudice against one of the first black doctors- not sure if he meant this movie? I'm sorry if that offends you or anyone that brings this up -but frankly I have no issues in discussing this myself with a number of religious people from different backgrounds to find out if they believe that if you use ancient healing from India or China that you are not a " good " Christian. I find the question offensive myself and I'm not from India nor do I practice Hinduism. We have many wonderful loving families in this group from all backgrounds and cultures and countries and I don't agree that ANY question is OK. There are questions that are prejudice and that hurt others -like do all ____people smell? (hey I'm just asking one could say). I am personally offended for example that anyone would think that we -the parents using ayurveda are involved in some sort of religion. I use products and foods that are good for my family. That's so crazy to think that just because I LOVE nutriiveda that it has anything to do with religion I can't even begin to tell you as religion has nothing to do with it...in my opinion. I have a good friend on fb who is a minister of a church in California and can't wait to discuss this with him -will call him shortly. He's bringing nutriiveda to help his parish! All of my Christian friends that I have spoken to are personally offended by the question here and I believe if it bothers anyone that in addition to checking with your doctor and nutritionist etc...go check with your church if it's OK. In fact my neighbor Laurie Rinker (the LPGA pro golfer) is already discussing this with her church which is one of the largest Christian churches -but not to see if it's OK -but to see if they want to share it and her church is embracing the fact that nutriiveda is changing people's lives -and yes they know Dr. Chopra is behind the formulation and endorsement. Not even what we are seeing in this group -but for weight loss and those with type 2 diabetes etc. I happen to personally find the ayurvedic aspect most fascinating. Anyone here who is an old member remembers my many postings about " witches brew " and the story of the herb foxglove which to this day no man made drugs have been able to duplicate the effectiveness of. A woman was dieing from a heart condition and went to her doctor -Dr. Withering, who told her there was nothing to do -at that time the condition was fatal. Next time he saw her she was fine and shocked her asked her and found out that she went to gypsies who made her a special brew and now she's fine. He spent the rest of his career studying every single aspect of the brew and found them all to be useless except the foxglove...which again to this day is used to treat and save lives for those with this type of heart condition. Does that mean anyone who uses it believes in whatever it is witches believe in?? I just want to take a moment to apologize to anyone from this group who is offended by these messages. personally I would have not approved the original message as I found it offensive and prejudice. ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hi there- Now I understand where the question came from. Please don't take this the wrong way-- but I am thinking that maybe, you are reading into the religious aspect a bit too much. Does it really matter what Religion the Company believes in? They have a product that seems to work..... my feelings are that this product - (just the product itself) has nothing to do with Hindu religious beliefs. Many people practice Feng Shuii (sp?), without a religious belief. you wrote : " " And the practice of Ayurveda, which aims to create dynamic balance in all areas of health " This is a system based on Hindu god of Ayurveda. We know that-- but taking their product does not make you a Hindu! The idea of " a dynamic balance in all areas of health " sounds pretty good to me..... lord knows- I NEED balance..... LOL.... My little guy needs balance too! I recently switched my Son from NN Omega 3's to the Pro EFA and EPAs mentioned on this site... and I am considering adding Nutraveida as well. I am Catholic.... we don't eat meat on Friday's during lent..... this product has no meat in it..... so the thought of Religion never came to my mind when I read posts about it. I personally believe that " what is best for my Son " medically, and with his Speech is a SEPERATE issue from Religion. For example, if a product that worked had meat in it.... I would give it to my son- even during Lent.... I would not feel obligated to go to Confession with a Priest for doing so. Have you ever read News stories about how there are certain religions that do not believe in seeking medical treatment? I remember reading about a family who just let their child die of a treatable form of Cancer..... because their religion did not support the concept of Medical Treatment. To me, this was criminal. I feel we all need to consider what is best for our children..... religious beliefs are a separate issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I didn't get the sense that the original poster is " prejudiced " in any way. I got the sense she wanted to research if the blend of ingredients are scientifically based or based in religion. I myself believe in many religion based things, but not all do.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 For me personally I would not question herbal tea or quiet time enjoying God's creation. These are both things I enjoy. I drink raspberry tea with just a little bit of raw honey. I spend as much time outside as the weather allows. As for a yoga class I would need to take a look at the complete content. Again this is just what I personally would need to do. Thanks for replying. > > I am a Christian too, and am a little confused.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Absolutely agree. We can only grow as humans if we start to embrace each others differences and learn from them instead of being so suspicious of each other. This is exactly what is happening when we find our children (and ourselves) benefiting from therapies/supplements/practices that have benefitted people in other cultures for many more years than most western medicines. Many of these we embrace without even considering the cultural or religious context. For example, yoga which is strongly rooted in religion but is practiced " religiously " by people of ALL different backgrounds because it helps them achieve balance in their lives. Apraxia does not discriminate, so we can't afford to.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 " ….And the practice of Ayurveda, which aims to create dynamic balance in all areas of health " This is a system based on Hindu god of Ayurveda. " Clarification: Ayurveda - Is a SYSTEM of medicine which uses the basic principle in nature to help maintain health in a person. It is a Sanskrit term made up of " ayus " and " veda " . " Ayus " means life. " Veda " means knowledge or science. Hence Ayurveda means " knowledge of life " or " science of life " . It is the OLDEST form of MEDICAL SYSTEM in the World. AYURVEDA IS NOT A NAME OF GOD. Faith and religion are very personal issues. Everyone has faith and beliefs It is that Faith that has brought you to this group to SEEK HELP. Science and religion have never got along. They have differed for centuries. To try to bring a connection now when centuries of debates never brought them together, is an impossible task. There are 8000 plus members in this group consisting of parents and professionals who with no " strings attached " take time to post their information on apraxia/therapies/supplements. They shell out few minutes here and there to let us all know what's happening, what they discovered, what they are facing with their kid or asking for help for their kid. And we all feel 24hrs in day is just not enough between our " delayed kids " / NT kids / family. So in this tight life if we can put aside the " religious part " and carry on with what we have been doing would be really beneficial to our kids. sowmya > > This question as not ment to upset anyone, but from my perspective was an important question.

You are essentially arguing that you must only use things made by people of your particular faith (where all the components are also made by people of that faith as well as any machinery used), and where all the employees are that religion too (down the whole supply chain), to make sure that anyone of another religion does not somehow use any money that they earn from any product to support another religion...I cannot imagine this is possible. Moreover, you could only eat food grown by people of your faith, only fly airlines totally run by people of your faith, only drive cars made by people of your faith - lest you " support " another religion because G_d forbid someone may tithe some of their earnings to another religion. This reminds me of some of the sisters who taught me in Catholic school back in the day that no matter how a good a person you were, if you were not Catholic, you would go to h_ll. I think that thinking has largely been rejected. And I really find it impossible for you to have checked out everything you use in your life to make sure it is 100% whatever your faith is (?, your computer?)...Honestly, it seems you are scared of anyone who might have a different religious view and that is sad, there are so many wonderful, diverse people in this world. I hope that you find peace for yourself. > > What is the religious link with Nutriiveda? > Are there any Christian parents giving Nutriiveda? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
