Re: Do any of you use Nutriiveda for yourlittle ones (under 3)?

[Guest guest]

Would you mind keeping me updated on your sons progress. My son is 24 months and

we are on supplements, vitamins, and fish oil. I have been wanting to try it but

I was worried about my son's age. Thank you so much!

We just started fish oils in December, so I've been holding off on doing

anything w/ the Nutriiveda to see how my son does on the fish oils (GREAT,

Thank you so much for your info!! I believe I will order it this week. My son

has been having problems with bowel movements and throws up every 7 to 10 days.

We had an ultrasound done yesterday and all the results came back normal. We

have been on the gfcf diet for 1 month and the throwing up has been going on

since before the start of the diet and still continues. He is on probiotics, cod

liver oil, multi-vitamin, and carnitine for low muscle tone. Should I continue

all the supplements and the NV? The cod liver oil has shown to give him the most

improvement and do not want to stop that. Let me know what you think. Thank you

so much for keeping me up to date! Congrats on your son's progress and to you to

as well!! Did he have any speech skills before you started it? My son only makes

noises. Thanks again!!!

I'd check with the doctor that prescribed all the supplements but I'd

highly recommend stopping the multivitamin as the nutriiveda contains all the

essential amino acids and nutrients and is or can be full meal and vitamin

replacement. I'd also stop the probiotics as the nutriiveda is so easily

digestible by the body and also just to make sure the probiotics don't

compromise whatever it is in the nutriiveda that is " working " for our children.

After all you can always start the probiotics again at some point and see if

they affect the nutriiveda in a positive or negative way. My son for example

we've tried numerous probiotics and he doesn't do well on them for some reason.

You can continue the fish oils but check the level of vitamin A in the dosage of

cod liver oil you are using (cod liver oil has vitamin A because unlike the oils

most of us use cod liver oil is made from the liver of the fish so naturally

contains the vitamin A...fish oils not made from the liver of the fish do not

contain vitamin A...just curious -have you tried the ProEFA?)

The carnitine if your child tested low in this area needs to be continued of

course for safety reasons as this is a nutrient that if your child tested low in

is typically a prescription quality and dosage and for life and death reasons

needs to be overseen by the geneticist or other medical doctor that prescribed

it. You probably know that the carnitine should be taken with food because it

can create stomach upset. Below is an archive on more on carnitine deficiency

and best of luck in getting to the root of your child's digestive issue of

vomiting so often! How terrible for all of you!

CARNITINE DEFICIENCY testing and archive

Just a reminder that carnitine unlike the amino acid carnitine is

something to take serious. You may not see changes on or off

supplementation but this is typically rare and appears to be high in

this group out of those children tested.

Also just wanted to point out that me and many others here had the

blood draws ordered through our regular pediatrician and the labs done

through medical labs -and if tested low the child is put onto

prescription carnitine with a referral to a geneticist that specializes

in metabolic disorders. Try the basics which mean appropriate

therapies for your child and the oil therapy and in most cases that

alone will create remarkable surges and you can save your time and

money for karate and swimming lessons -maybe some hippo therapy or a

much needed vacation for the family. The biomedical group if not

needed is complex and expensive. And BTW =the brilliant Dr.

is a

traditional medical doctor/pediatrician and so is my co author of The Late

Talker book neurodevelopmental pediatrician Dr. Marilyn Agin. Watch

what you

post here about regular medical doctors because they are part of this

group and

they have feelings!

And in case it wasn't clear -if you go through your ped it can all be

covered by

your insurance. My son's was.

Here's more on carnitine from an archive

Re: Levocarnatine

Is what you are using prescription?

" Certain levocarnitine products have been specifically approved by

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for medical use and are

available only with your doctor's prescription. Other levocarnitine

products are sold without a prescription as food supplements and

should not be used to treat serious levocarnitine deficiency. "

http://www.drugs.com/cons/levocarnitine.html

Not much if anything may change in the tone or speech -but that's

not the reason to supplement with prescription carnotine. The

possible side effect of sudden death from carnotine deficiency

outweighs any side effect of levocarnitine. If not -I suggest you

take your child to a medical doctor; preferably a geneticist who

specializes in metabolic disorders and there have been a few posted

here as recommendations. How much do you know/were you informed

about carnotine deficiency?

In this group out of those that did blood draws there was an

alarmingly high number that tested low in carnotine which is

typically rare. Here are some archives -first from Tina who's

apraxic child was doing really well -but she like I did the blood

draws just to check. While Tanner tested normal -Landon tested low

in carnotine:

" Going to a geneticist that specializes in metabolic disorders would

be very helpful. My understanding from what I have read a biopsy

helps confirm mito disorders. Lab work is first though. The link

below might help you find more answers.

http://www.umdf.org/site/c.dnJEKLNqFoG/b.3041929/

United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation

Landon's carnitine level was 23 normal was 25-70 in July. In Dec. it

was ran again and it was 76 again normal range 25-70. The geneticist

that specializes in metabolic disorders isn't concerned with his

Carnitine level being high. He did run a lab to see if it is coming

out in urine which is what would happen if it isn't being used up.

And he did run Carnitine again in Feb so it probably will be higher

than it was in Dec. We will probably have to adjust his dose.

Landon could come off Carnitine right now, but I thought it was

helping him some so the doctor said to continue. Regular blood test

should be done to check levels so dosing can be changed either

increased or lowered.

Here is an article that discusses Carnitine and CoQ10. It is a good

explanation, hope you all will take the time to read it from the top

to the bottom.

http://www.mdausa.org/publications/Quest/q61coq10.html

HTH,

Tina "

Some have suggested the better doctors in this area because

apparently there are not that many out there! Also while Kathy from

our group who I highly respect talks about an OTC brand -

highly advises against OTC for carntine if a child tests low. And

for those that don't know -do not supplement with carnotine unless

your pediatrician orders the blood draws that we talk about here

first. You want to know prior to supplementation if your child is

deficient.

More archives below

Unlike other supplements -a carnitine deficiency could come with the

most severe consequence over time since carnitine deficiency is

associated with sudden death. The good news is that at least you'll

know early -most people don't find out their child was deficient in

carnitine until it's too late. (we all heard about that football

player in HS with the sudden heart attack) Also how else are you

going to guarantee that not only are you going to give and keep

giving your child this supplement which they 'have' to take -but

that your child will know to monitor with his doctor and continue to

supplement if needed perhaps the rest of his or her life? This is

why you want to investigate this aggressively with a geneticist.

There are a few who have been recommended here as I understand that

there are not yet enough geneticist who specialize in metabolic or

mitochondrial disorders.

If found to have a carnitine deficiency, like your child, you would

want to take your child to a medical doctor that was knowledgeable

about what that means as this is not something to take lightly. It's

good to get the prescription form of carnitine so you know the

quality, correct dosage -overseen by an MD. Also once tested low in

caritine you would also want to discover why by taking your child to

a geneticist who specializes in metabolic disorders. I believe based

on the findings of blood analysis from this group that any child

going ahead diagnosed with apraxia or autism should be tested for a

carnitine deficiency. As you'll be hearing more about this soon from

Dr. -the numbers of children that tested low in this

amino acid were off the charts. Typically it's a rare disorder

affecting one in 20 to 40,000. This was also the reason I took my

son Tanner for all the blood testing -to test for this one deficiency

since it can be so severe if left untreated.

Here's some quotes from Dr. who is head of fellowship

research at her hospital -a pediatrician -and mom to an apraxic child

who also tested to be carnitine deficient. Below this is an archive

on this which includes all the testing which you can share with your

child's medical doctor to secure the testing. We did this with our

son's " regular " pediatrician and all the blood word was covered by

BC/BS.

" Impact of carnitine supplements may not be clinically obvious - but

could be

helping strengthen heart muscle. Low levels are associated with a

floppy

dilated weak heart, and when it approaches 10-20% of normal, sudden

death can

occur. Carnitine is essential for normal cell/mitochondria function.

It

allows fatty acids to get transported into the mitochondria (or the

battery

of the cell). Major problems if this is not working properly. So you

may be

getting benefits that you don't obviously see. One does not want to

run

around with a severe carnitine deficiency and not treat it. "

end of quote

Carnitine and Carnosine are 2 TOTALLY different supplements.

Carnitine plays a key role in transferring long-chain fatty acids

into the mitochondria.

There has been some research done on carnoSine (amino acids

histidine and alanine), and carnaware has carnoSine + vit E + zinc.

There have been some preliminary studies that show benefit of

carnaware in autism and other speech disorders. There are many

members with personal experience with both carnosine and carnoware.

I suspect the vitamin E of carnoware is contributing to benefits,

based on what vit E alone can do.

Without sufficient CarniTine...the mitochondria (or

cell " batteries " ) don't run very well. There can be symptoms from

muscle weakness, heart problems to severe brain and metabolic

abnormalities and in some (rare) cases... to the extreme of sudden

death from carnitine deficiency...depending on how severe and the

exact cause.

Carnitine deficiency is typically rare -around 1 in 40,000. I don't

know if the deficiency your child has is considered severe or not but

either way I'd check it out. In this group out of the few that did

blood draws an alarmingly high number tested low in this amino acid

and that's concerning for a number of reasons. The main one is that

there may be no sign of a carnitine deficiency -but it can have

serious affects if left untreated. If discovered consider it a

blessing as most don't know about this deficiency until it's " too

late " and it's easily treated by prescription carnitine.

The suggestion is that if a child tests low on carnitine to take him

to a geneticist who is a metabolic specialist for a complete work-

up. There have been a few suggestions for particular MDs posted

here.

[Guest guest]

,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my situation. I appreciate all the

articles you pulled for me to read. In light of your info I will stop the very

small dose of carnitine that I was giving to my son. To be clear - I have not

started NV yet because I was waiting for more great feedback. My son is only 24

months and I was nervous to try it. I hope that I did not offend a medical

professional in any way...those were not my intentions ever. I was only sharing

my specific situation and any feedback I had received regarding NV. I think it

is something that I want to try with doctor consent. I live in a small town with

limited medical resources. I am a believer in biomedical intervention, it has

shown positive results in only 4 weeks. I can not deney my sons progress and can

not be happier with what we together, as a team have accomplished. I am

seeing positive results.

I have called every hospital in my town begging and pleading for help working

with a medical professional. I was told " no " at every door and on every phone

call. I called local support groups and will be attending my first meeting this

Saturday. I can't wait to get involved with other parents and seek out their

support, that is why I joined many health groups on . I need help and

advice from other parents and medical professionals. This is my fight and like

many other parents I will not stop until I have turned over every stone and

called every doctor on God's green earth that could help me. Let this be my

personal plea of help to all medical doctors participating in this forum. I am

only at the beginning of our journey.  

Current conditions:

Global developmental delays

Ocularmotor apraxia

Current Therapies:

PT, OT, and Speech twice a week thru IE and hospital covered by insurance.

Current Diet and Supplements:

GFCF diet

Multi - vitamin

1 teaspoon cod liver oil

 - I will change the cod liver oil to Pro EFA.

1/2 teaspoon probiotics

Brief birth story: 01/18/2008 - Born two months premature with his TWIN brother

(NT) because I had preeclampsia. Needing nothing in NICU except a feeding tube.

We are scheduled to have genetic testing performed this month thru our

pediatrician.

Thank you for taking time to read my story,

I'm sorry if you misunderstood. I wasn't saying you should stop the

carnitine as I know that is a supplement that if one is found deficient in is

extremely important to supplement with.

Carnitine is one of those supplements it's best to test for prior to

supplementation because once you supplement the test results could be skewed.

If your child was not tested for carnitine deficiency and you just had him on it

to help with low tone please know that supplementation of carnitine may or may

not show any change in the tonal issue. Again it would be a supplement that if

needed your child would need to take for years or life even if you notice no

change at all because if deficient in this amino acid by supplementing with it -

down the road you can prevent any serious medical or life threatening situations

for your child as carnitine deficiency can affect all the muscles including

those around the heart. Carnitine deficiency is rare but seems to be a bit

higher in this group with our children for some reason so testing (prior to

supplementation) is highly recommended.

Great news you'll be going to a support group this weekend- you'll learn so much

and I'm sure find many recommendations there!

For some reason parents who are seeing results in the first few days on the

nutriiveda all don't feel comfortable sharing here yet but have shared it with

me via telephone or through email -but perhaps you'll meet someone at the

meeting who has a child on it. My confidence in the product based on the

overwhelming amount of positive surges reported (and seen myself firsthand) is

through the roof and I am positive that all here will soon hear and learn more

about all the feedback as more and more feel comfortable sharing. It would be

good if more can share even though it is just a few days and good news because

this product does appear to be " working " faster than the fish oils for some

reason.

Just one more thing -I'd get rid of the " global delays " diagnosis for your son

unless he's tested appropriately and found to also have cognitive/receptive

delays. Most children with apraxia have delays in more than just speech, but

labels have a way of sticking- and one can prejudge a child based on labels.

This is also why I don't care for the " expressive receptive delay " label unless

one knows for sure there is a receptive delay as well. In fact they do not

provide your child with any diagnosis of why he isn't speaking yet other than

" global delays " which could mean developmental simple, or more complex reasons

that include cognitive. I'd seek out a diagnosis as you are looking to find

ASAP and make sure it's appropriate so that you can secure appropriate Early

Intervention therapies. (not just speech and occupational etc...but what

types?) Have you read The Late Talker book?

Also what are they doing for the Ocularmotor apraxia in regards to therapy?

I do believe said she'd be in touch with you personally -and perhaps there

are other parents who will respond to you as well. As asked please let us

know if you can what state/country you are in!

I have a grandson who has autism and is now starting to use words. We started

him on the NV product. We showed the NV to his doctor and she said there was

nothing in it that would hurt him. She also told us that it was fine to leave

him on his other supplements. Has your son a diagnosis for apraxia or autism or

something else? My grandson just turned 4 and he ways 36lbs. We have been

pretty successful in treating his stomach and bowel issues. Have you had an

organic acid profile done? Have you done the large panel for allergies? We went

after viruses and yeast first with anti-virals and anti-virus treatments for

about a year. Put him on a GFCF diet and very little sugar. Now we use Enhansa

to keep the viruses and yeast in check. He was off the chart for yeast, very

very high. He was on the CLO but he is now on ProEFA and EPA, they were huge for

him. Made big jumps with these two fish oils and Enhansa. He is on a GFCF

multi-vitamin, he also still does probiotics and digestive enzymes. The

digestive enzymes are needed less and less. After getting the stomach under

control we are going after the extremely high levels of lead that he has shown

in urine tests with chelation. He has progressed throughout his ordeal of

treatments, but I do believe you have to start at the beginning and address each

issue systematically. The stomach and intestines are key. That said, we are just

beginning with the NV and so far so good. He is taking 1/2 scoop twice a day.

PS does your son use digestive enzymes? They were a life saver for quite

sometime. My grandson has some issues with low muscle tone but nothing extreme.

I know nothing about carnitine, but noticed that it can cause vomiting.

Hope this helps some

Nora

> Thank you so much for your info!! I believe I will order it this week. My son

has been having problems with bowel movements and throws up every 7 to 10 days.

We had an ultrasound done yesterday and all the results came back normal. We

have been on the gfcf diet for 1 month and the throwing up has been going on

since before the start of the diet and still continues. He is on probiotics, cod

liver oil, multi-vitamin, and carnitine for low muscle tone. Should I continue

all the supplements and the NV? The cod liver oil has shown to give him the most

improvement and do not want to stop that. Let me know what you think. Thank you

Okay, I think we are on the same page now. I agree with you in regards to

carnitine and will wait until further testing as I do not want to skew any

results. I did make my son a doctors appt with a DAN! doctor that will help

me with biomedical intervention. However, he is three hours away in Kansas

City. We live in Springfield, MO. His name is Dr. Jeremey Baptist and he is a

MD, PHD.

I am now convinced to order the Nutriveda. Do you know if it helps with

stimming? I appreciate your personal feedback and feedback from other parents.

When my son shows progress on Nutriveda...I will shout it out on every forum!

I can not get him any other therapies than he already has because he does not

qualify. I took him to a pediatrician that specialized with neuro-development

delay and he said that my son would always be delayed. He said there was nothing

more that I could do than I am already doing. He also said there was no way to

test a child's cognitive ability other than gross motor skills, at my sons age.

I actually broke down and cried in his office. Needless to say, I can't get a

dx. I have not read The Late Talker, but plan too.

I have called all therapy places in town that I know of and was told I could

only get the standard therapies. I am aware of other diffrent therapies however

I can not find them. It has been very frustrating! With IE, I had to beg for OT

therapy weekly...I was only going to get it monthly.

Thanks again,
