Re: religious background of Nutriiveda

[Guest guest]

I shouldn't have sent my answer out when I was so upset. We have members in

our group from many countries who follow different religions and the one thing

that binded all of us was that we are all loving parents that care for our

children. I am not aware of any religion connected to ayurveda but if we go

back in time there are many terms we use today that had basis in ancient

beliefs.

To me God is love, and God would want to help our children (the cherubs) find

their voice.

,

You raise a lot of very good points. I just Googled who the owner of Zrii is

and found this information about him. http://www.meetbillfarley.com/bio/ It

seems highly doubtful that this American guy who grew up in Rhode Island and now

lives in Chicago is Hindu or for that matter was worried about the religious

implications of forming a company

Sorry if I offended anyone, its a choice. I'm not against anyone of a different

Faith and certainly do care about everyone. I do have to be careful of whom I

support. I love all people no matter what differences. We all still make

choices. If I choose the nutriveda or don't it is up to me, as well as all of

you. I'm not saying you are wrong or right, its a personal choice. I was simply

thanking the person for giving me information that I did not know. It would be

very difficult to only support those of my faith, that doesn't mean I don't love

or like others of another faith. I have many friends of other faiths and we all

love and respect each other, I'm sorry that you took me wrong.

I am sorry but I found this question deeply troubling. 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.

" ….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.

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.

Hi Kate-

I agree! I do not think that the person who started this topic meant any

harm..... but this post sure has created quite " a stir " on our board. All

of this discussion takes me back to College days, when all Freshmen were

forced to take a Philosophy Course!

My Philosophy is that I in essence am following 2 Religions...... the first

is the Catholic Faith...

My second " non-recognized religion " (if you want to call it a

Religion).... is a non stop, almost obsessive desire to worship my children by

doing

anything and everything to make their lives better.

I am one of those people who stays up until 3 or 4 am while the kids are

asleep..... I do laundry, I pay bills, I search the net for recall info on

toys, I search the net for info on how to make their world better... This

includes trying to find more info on how to help my Son... this is how I

found all of you wonderful people!

We all are going through the same things- it is an up-hill battle at times,

but we do not stop.... We deal with Doctors, we deal with the Insurance

Companies...... we deal with the School System that we pay taxes to, but

still must fight with over what is right for our kids. I am 100% in favor of

anything that will help my Son!

The hardest part for me will be trying to convince our Pediatrician to give

me his opinion on the Nutriiveda.... he is the type who does not want to

put himself out on a line!

Take care-

nothing in her post or the question was offensive.

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

[Guest guest]

I am totally not offended by your question. But honestly, my son needs the help,

I don't care if is a Christian God, Jewish God, Hindu God, Budist God, Muslim

God, Pegan God, or what ever God,if he/she can help my son I'll take it!
