Re: NutriiVeda and MSG?

February 9, 2010

the the chromium, molybdenum, iodine, selenium, and manganese yeast are all

inactive and as I was told could be taken even by someone who has a candida

problem. They are there as a natural way to get the nutrients chromium,

molybdenum, iodine, selenium, and manganese. Again -inactive as a yeast. As

far as the whey: milk is made up 80 percent of casein and 20 percent whey. The

whey is the most easily digestible by the body which is why the doctor's chose

this type of protein. The whey isolate protein is the more expensive pure

protein and the one recommended by many nutritionists. Nutriiveda contains the

pure isolate (not the concentrate) protein -and that's what we want for

ourselves and our children in this group in almost all cases. In addition as

I've recently pointed out whey isolate protein is used even via prescription to

dramatically raise the glutathione which has been shown to help naturally detox

the body and found to be important for those with autism (so probably for all

with autism like conditions as well but of course if the funding is from autism

that wouldn't be mentioned) The nutriiveda is gluten and casein free and is

fine for anyone who is lactose intolerant as I've pointed out and one of the

parents with a highly casein sensitive child pointed out...however I was told

that even though the whey isolate protein is of the highest quality and every

method possible was taken to remove 100 percent of the milk protein it is

possible that a .09 or something percentage of milk protein may still be in the

product which is why I wouldn't recommend it for those that have a true allergy

to milk protein which is rare in comparison to the many that are lactose

intolerant and need casein free. MSG is a sodium and being that nutriiveda is

also sodium free -I doubt it contains MSG -but I can contact the company direct

and ask for you. The nutriiveda does contain the naturally occurring glutamic

acid which from what I read is from the protein but (from

http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html ) " MSG-sensitive people do not

react to protein (which contains bound glutamic acid) or any of the minute

amounts of free glutamic acid that might be found in unadulterated, unfermented,

unprocessed, food. " Every ingredient in the nutriiveda is (I can't remember the

exact wording) deemed a food and again is 100% natural.

Product label chocolate

Bottom line however as one of the toy inventors I used to work with would say is

that the " proof is in the pudding " (and if you put nutriiveda in pudding -then

not just an expression but a reality!)

And hate to say this but the best way for you to know what is working for our

children...stop the nutriiveda and see what happens. I won't do it again but

there are now 3 of us that did -Sowmya more than once as well as me -and don't

think any of us after seeing the regressions will do it again. You can read

about Mel's here in her blog http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/about/

But like the fish oils it may be the only way for any of us to really believe

this simple powder can make this much a difference in such a few days. I mean

who would have thought right??? And -I don't even know you but people are

saying how amazing you look right? You didn't lose the weight in your face (if

you didn't need to) but where you needed to lose it right?

I know -I've seen it so many times now for weight...it's what we are seeing in

the children that blows my mind!
