Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi All, I have a question about Neutriveda. My son is 9 with global apraxia and I have heard many wonderful things about the product and would like to try NV. My question is that my son is actually underweight. Does anyone know if NV would cause him to lose more weight? Thanks, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi Sue the following is an archive but if you have any other questions ask here, or email me lisa@... or call me 772 335 5135 Also NV for children is served with food as a drink or mixed in to food as children need fat for growing brains...so here are some serving suggestions http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html and while you can and probably should stop all other vitamins while serving your child NV as it is so nutrient dense and contains all the essential amino acids and nutrients needed daily per serving -it does not contain the essential fatty acids- and from what I and others are seeing the essential amino and fatty acids appear to compliment each other -but you would figure that would be the case! So yes it appears it's a good thing to use both fish oils and NV. Here's the archive: Nutriiveda is just food it's not a diet product. It was launched as a weight management product for marketing reasons by Zrii (who is run by a solid billionaire who has been a billionaire since the 80s Bill Farley http://www.meetbillfarley.com ) because obesity in both children and adults is at epidemic proportions as is type 2 diabetes etc. Bill doesn't need the money or stress- sometimes people do things to help the public but we are skeptical as a public. I have had the pleasure of meeting Bill Farley a few times now and I know there will be research to validate what we are seeing. Until then the company can't talk about it-but I am allowed to and yes all there including the MDs behind it http://pursuitofresearch.org/advisors.html (like Bill those that don't need money from this!!) are aware of what we are seeing. But again the product is just food. There are no drugs in it, no caffeine in it, there is nothing in it but all the essential amino acids and nutrients from whole food sources to support the metabolic system -so if one needs to lose excess fat and toxins they will. If one needs to gain weight and muscle they will. That's the difference between working with food rather than supplements or drugs -balance from whole foods. NV is 100 percent natural, 100 percent water soluble, and it's 100 percent gluten, casein, fat, sodium and caffeine free with only 2 grams of natural sugar per scoop. Each serving contains all of the essential amino acids needed by the human body daily (which is rare) as well as all the nutrients -so no need to other vitamins. So to make it clear no nutrients are added -all are from whole foods and each food in NV is tested free of any heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides. It is probably one of the cleanest foods you'll ever feed your child. Again NV is a food -just a better one than most -it's whole food. Below are just a handful of updates where the person shared the weight gain in the child on the same product that the parent lost weight on in many cases. We are also seeing and I can attest to this...miracle-gro type growth surges in height. Yes all these kids would grow anyway -but it's within a month of starting no matter what age. Liam discovers his inner Brittish 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! Dianne dwvic@... Hi , Should we add the info about the NV is given as extra snacks or replacing a meal? The weight change and height change info may be really valuable too. One of my boys increased 10% of his body weight and finally built up some muscle on his arm. Dawen NV update My son has been on NV for a few months now...but he's been taking the full dosage for only about a month. I thought it might be fun for all of us to give an update on our kids that have been on NV for several months. I'll start. Before NV my 36 mo old son had language, but he was largely unintelligible. He was not potty trained, woke up 3-5 times a night, would often trip when he ran, didn't sing, dance, was just learning to jump. Within the first month, he started sleeping through the night, potty trained, started singing and dancing and began playing imaginatively. He also gained two lbs in 3 weeks (much needed as he's in the 10th %) Within the next few months, he has made up songs, remembers 2-3 lines from movies he's just seen, has started jumping over things, gained another pound, dances with more coordination, has started making his toys talk to each other (or makes me be one toy and talk to the other toy), had developed a taste for water and prefers it to all other drinks. Things we are still working towards. pedaling his trike, getting him to use words instead of hitting in moments of frustration, talking more to his peers, eating a wider variety of food and food textures. What have you seen with your child in the last few months? Liralen And about weight Liralen added in a following email that her son from 20 months to 36 months, my son only gained 2 lbs (BUT!!!) In the first three weeks on NV (half dose) he gained a little over 2 lbs and in the next month gained another lb. I suspect he's grown also, but I can't find my measuring tape. Liralen Some of the above from http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html and some from the archives here And PS -one more recent update from Liralen: Here are some of the initial surges I saw in my son. I started him on fish oil NN369 when he was 32 months. Before he would babble with no real words. He would not mimic anything we said and would give up after two tries of communication with us. He could say mom, dad, happy and green e go consistently. We taught him baby sign for basic needs and wants. I had taught him the alphabet, letter sound and he could read car, up, and we were working on other words. I started him on fish oil in Oct, three days later we were in the store and I was pointing everything out and talking to him constantly like I always did. He started mimicking me!! he said red, orange, blue, black, brown, green, pink. Every word I would say he would approximate. Such a hurdle. How are you supposed to teach a child to talk if they never mimic you? Every day it just went on and on, for weeks he learned about 5-10 word approximations a day. When I stopped the fish oil he didn't regress, but didn't make any gains. He would mark places in his sentences. mommy, un un un geen car. (I want a green car) I started him on NV in March. He had just turned three, and although he had hundreds of words, it seemed I was the only one who understood him. He started making gains again within three days. Putting words together in 3-5 word sentences, much more clarity, started singing within 2 weeks, at the same time he started playing imaginatively and gained 2 lbs (he had only gained 2 lbs in the entire year before). within three weeks he potty trained, started sleeping through the night, smiling on command. and in six weeks he had gained another lb. Unfortunately, he decided NV was not a food he wanted after about 6 weeks and since then it has been a struggle to get 1/4th of the dosage in him. We also started speech and it was a bad fit. So he regressed in potty training and then went through a growth spurt and started waking in the night again also. He lost the un un un and now his sentences are varied lengths and he gets all the words said, but often in the wrong order. He's now just on NV and fish oils and not in any therapy. Does this help? When looking for surges, look for any change that keeps changing. For us it was babble-->mimicking and directed play-->imaginative play and greater body awareness. Let me know if you have any other questions! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi Sue, actually both of my children (14) and Lily(10) were both underweight when they started on Nutriiveda back in February. They both have gained weight, My son gained about 6 lbs. and grew alot, and my daughter gained about 5 lbs and grew alot too. They both look great, you can see their muscles now and they don't just look " skinny " Definitely try it, it is so healthy for them, probably the healthiest thing to give them that we can get and get such awesome results as well. And its just FOOD! not medication. If you want to call me you can contact me at 631-447-0615 in New York. ~~Dawn Falley > > Hi All, > > I have a question about Neutriveda.
