Re: Day 9 and 10

[Guest guest]

Hi Robin,

I am so excited to read the gains your daughter is having with Nutriivida! From

your blog it seems like you are seeing a decrease in her sensory issues too---is

that right? I was wondering what kind of doctor Dr. Black is as we are in NJ

and for a good doc I will take a long drive! And if he is familiar with this

product and your daughter, I would have less explaining to do! You can email

me offlist if you'd like with the info. klbushey@... My son is five and

has severe global dyspraxia and an austism dx. But I wonder how much of it is

the apraxia since as he as been able to make sounds,approximations and a few

short words, his autism seems to lessen. I don't think for him it was about not

wanting to be social as much as he couldn't talk to communicate. He has sensory

issues too but the apraxia/dyspraxia is what is truly his biggest obstacle.

Thank you so much for sharing your story!

> Day 9

> We were out of the house Saturday for 12 hours which is a record for our

family! Twelve hours and most of it 'we' had to keep up with !! She's

gone from not wanting or able to do much of anything except watch TV all day to

it seems wanting to learn and explore everything about this world she appears to

have just discovered! Fortunately the nutriiveda is easy to travel with as it's

just a powder that we can mix in her yogurt,drink, anything. still

likes it mixed in yogurt the most.

> Mel is really enjoying her touchscreen computer and has discovered how to use

it on her own which again is incredible. Even though we were out of the house

most of the day, instead of spending the rest of the time watching TV, Mel

wanted to be on her computer. Her computer was off so she went and turned it on

and then came and got me to help her with her password. Mel is able to type

with support to the wrist due to her motor planning so she typed in her password

and told me " bye " so I walked away and allowed her to get to her program and

play her game on her own.

>

> Independent pointing has always been an issue with Mel due to her motor

planning. So the question had remained if Mel could read. Well yesterday with

camera in hand we video taped Mel while I was holding out two or three word

cards no pictures and asked her to take a certain word. Mel had 100% accuracy

yesterday which proves she does read and validates our belief in her all those

years that others gave up in her. We are so proud of her.

>

> Day 10

>

> Today Mel went by herself with her sisters to the Mall to shop and have lunch!

Being that this is still one of the first times is able to be out with

her sisters without me or my husband there to help I called several times

thinking that I would need to meet them and get Mel. Mel really has always made

it clear she doesn't like shopping prior. It could be due to her sensory issues

but she would quickly be in pain and want to go home. But today she enjoyed her

day out with her sisters.

>

> I asked this morning before she left was she going to miss me and her

answer was " no " which both shocked me; and made us all laugh. At 25 years old

Mel is growing up! Mel then followed then up with a great big kiss on the cheek

and a great big hug (again she used to never be able to motor plan to do this

spontaneously) and then she was out in the car in the garage with her seatbelt

on just waiting for her sisters. We use to have to walk her to the car and then

help her with her seatbelt.

>

> Mel is also now able to do something when asked. After had her

nutriiveda with her breakfast, I asked her to take her bowl and spoon and place

in the kitchen sink and she did it without any further instructions. Again that

may not seem like much for a 25 year old but many that are reading this have no

idea what 's life has been like up till just about a week ago. Her

background and all the therapies and attempts to help her are all well

documented. So we made sure that we are video taping as much as possible now

for Mel's doctors appt tomorrow.

>

> Just like Mel's new fascination with the world, appears to have

discovered the joy of other people and is so much more interactive with others

now. Yesterday she took my sister in law's father hand very gently as he is in

his 70's and she looked into his eyes and smiled at him like she was seeing him

for the very first time. Mel's Uncle went to tickle her and she ran and was

laughing at the same time. In the past Mel would just stand there as if she

wasn't aware, or she didn't care; it was hard to know. So often now I wonder

what was going on in her head before. I had to wonder how many times would Mel

loved to have just ran to tease him as he was teasing her. When I was telling

Mel's Uncle about her walking in the park Mel began to walk in place to show him

and said " see " as she was demonstrating how she is walking now with her arms

swinging with a huge smile on her face. Mel's over all disposition was very

happy and her confidence seems to have soared. Due to the years of being

treated by the school system as autistic ironically seemed to create lack of eye

contact. Now instead of ignoring others now she looks everyone right in the eye

when they are speaking to her. All I can think right now is WOW! What a

weekend!

if you are in NJ you may want to see Dr. Agin -I just spoke to her about

it and I didn't know that she already knows about ayurveda and is very impressed

with it. In fact I'm finding it pretty shocking just how many traditional

medical doctors 'are' embracing ayurveda. I encourage everyone to share the

product ingredients with their child's doctor, or any nutritionists, dietitians,

natural health practitioners too...even body builders who have to be some of the

world's most analytical people when it comes to nutrition!

Dr. Marilyn Agin's website is http://www.dbpny.com

Also I have something else to share. My friend Ginger -her son Josh is 17 years

old (tall kid) and has ADHD like my son Dakota. Unlike Dakota however he's

never been consistently on fish oil- but has been on the ADHD meds. He didn't

look like he needed to lose weight to me but apparently he wasn't happy with

some weight he put on in his waist and thighs and wanted the nutriiveda to lose

weight.

Ginger called me up yesterday all excited -not about the fact that Josh lost all

the weight he wanted to (said his abs are " ripped " now) and he's happy about

that...but because his school said he's " for some reason excelling this year "

to the point that they believe he can graduate HS a year early!! So I told her

about Tanner -because she didn't credit the nutriiveda to the all of a sudden

surge in her son's focus and attention and commitment to school. I mean it's a

17 year old- nothing else changed -except like Tanner he started to take the

nutriiveda twice a day in addition to whatever else he ate.

Ginger said that the fact her son- who's very bright but who has always had

issues in school prior -is thrilled and that he is getting work done so quickly

this has been amazing for his self esteem.

Just today I started my son Dakota on the nutriiveda for lunch. He never eats

his lunch anyway as he's always talking to his friends -so this way if this

works he can drink this and at least I know he's getting some good nutrition in.

I don't know yet if the nutriiveda will help all with ADHD...but it clearly

helps with focus. Two of my friends that are doctors -Dr. Gisleda Ramos who is

Dakota's orthodontist here in Florida, and Dr. who is internal

medicine out of the Barnabas system in the Brick NJ area both said from DAY ONE

that they had " more focus " obvious focus. My friend Bibi (Dr. Ramos) said she

was " on track " all day which is not like her. Actually also knows about

the Nutriiveda- is recommending to her patients too now and she said she " feels

good recommending it " but she mainly deals with seniors. herself has

lost weight, has more energy...and is using less insulin.

As that one ayurvedic doctor told me " ayurveda doesn't treat just one area of

the body -it's not the way it works " so clearly this product...I don't even

know if Dr. Deepak Chopra himself knows just how good it is.

If you need Dr. Marilyn Agin's number let me know!

Just wanted to add that due to suggestions from some of you here there is even

more information added to http://www.pursuitofresearch.org website regarding

ayurveda science and research as well as certificates etc. which you could share

with your child's doctor...also Mel's blog is there which continues to be

updated daily by her entire family.
