Guest guest Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi everyone, Okay, I've done the research, and I'm feeling a bit skeptical. When I asked " what is NV? " I hoped to get a response describing WHAT it is and pointing me to the official website for the company and product. I did finally find those, but I had to discover them totally on my own. Testimonials are great, but they are not the WHAT about the product, they are some people's opinions as to WHY. The two people who have shared with me thus far about NV both have a personal, vested interest in this product (one as a distributor and one whose name is all over the website I was linked to and who is listed as a contact by one of the founding physicians). I would really like to hear from families who have used NV with their apraxic children, and who are NOT trying to sell it to me. I am astonished at the cost. It would eat up more than 1/3 of my family's monthly food budget, and all that for just one child (we're a family of 5). I love her and absolutely want what is best for her, but I am not convinced this product is as safe or effective as the claims when considering the cost. Here is an obvious question that comes to my mind: if it is made up of 100% food and not supplements or nutrient additives, then how can it have a 2 year shelf life? Foods that are nutritious and beneficial don't last that long on a shelf in my experience. I do hope there are answers to these questions. I do know there are good products out there, but since NV is part of an MLM structure, I know that means that it is not worth what you pay. Too many people have to earn their " net profits " (their piece of the pie) before the actual cost of the product is paid to the manufacturer. I don't think I would be so skeptical if I could hear testimonies from people who are not already invested in the MLM part of this. And there was negative language about SPEAK shared, which has worked well for my daughter. We noticed a difference right away, and we ran out about two weeks ago (she's been on it for more than a year), and the week after we ran out, she started throwing the worst tantrums she's ever had and then some! I actually made the connection to the reduction in fish oil supplements as the possible cause because of how out of character her behavior was. She lost all ability to manage her emotions and behavior. I am brand new to this forum and don't want to start off on the wrong side of things, but I hope it is an open forum where everyone is here to help everyone else and not just promote your products. Thanks for taking time to read this and offer your feedback.
