Re: New ,... Echolalia and NV

[Guest guest]

Kathy,

We have the same case with our son (only child). He’s 6yrs old and

spontaneous language/speech is one of the most difficult goal we are trying

to achieve with him. He has some but really very limited for a 6yrs old.

Wonder also if NV would help in that area. Also, how did you decide to get

him tested with seizure? We haven’t checked him yet as his pediatrician

and developmental pediatrician did not recommend for us to do it but I’m

really curious to know if he’s having seizures. He would blink his eyes at

times for couple seconds and would be out of the world for a split seconds

until we call his attention and he would be good as nothing happened. Is

this a sign that he might be experiencing seizure for a split seconds across

the day? TIA!

Hi Kathy!

We are seeing surges in the area of independent speech and actions too -so in

that area yes. " spontaneous language , increase social skills? I would love to

see my son play with toys and use his imagination " yes too! You can read just

some of the testimonies here http://pursuitofresearch.org/testimonials.html We

are not really hearing much of any " not working " reports in general which is

odd. Most of the surges are within a week (a few days) but the product is

dosage dependent -some of us no longer even use level scoops and scoop out so

there's a bit more on top! We tried to put up answers to many of the basic

questions at http://www.pursuitofresearch.org You can also check out the FAQ

page http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html I have much confidence in nutriiveda

due to my own son and others in our group.

Today I had to drive for a class trip to the " Swamp Safari " in the Everglades

and both on the way there and back -Tanner spent some time reading- he's not the

same Tanner- he's become so grown up and funnier...so many areas of change -I

just want everyone to try this and see what I and others are seeing -it's like

someone just put a battery in Tanner in a spot that we forgot about! Just mind

blowing incredible changes.

I don't know how else to say it other than I HIGHLY encourage you to get the

approval from your child's doc and try it.

Here's a thought. Check with a doctor first! -

* Look into S boulardii once a day for a week or so for the yeast, perhaps

in parallel with acidophilus or an appropriate probiotic;

* Consider substituting NV for the Depakote and see if, over a couple of

months, NV helps with the seizures;

* Consider NV for the weight worries;

* And consider NV for helping your son develop beyond echolalia to using

imagination.

It may be that NV increases many peoples' serotonin availability. My hope is

that NV builds neural and mental strength by building the primitive chemical

" mind " that supports the modern electrical mind.

And BTW, my hope is you get this. I don't seem to see back what I post to

the group. Good luck -

Hi Kathy,

I can tell you that my son also battled echolalia.  He doesn't have

autism, but one speech therapist pointed out his echoing at one point and even

said that can be typical for some apraxic kids.   was barely 3 at the

time and only had about 20 words.  When he wanted something, instead of saying

" yes " he would just repeat back what I said him.

Example...

Me - " , do you want pizza for dinner? "

- " Pizza for dinner. "

If he didn't want pizza, he would just say no.  Bizarre.  But, looking back, I

think he was just repeating me because it was easier for him to do that than to

think of his own answer. 

I can happily say... this phase was short!  Coop overcame his echoing

tendencies after about 8 months of speech therapy.  His speech really exploded

once we started fish oil and Nutriiveda has been the icing on the cake.  Since

we started NV, his speech is more detailed, his word usage is more appropriate

for a 4-year-old and he's much more focused.  Things seem to be coming easier

for him.   

Hope this helps!

Tim and all -just wanted to point out that time to time acts up and we'll

approve a message -but you won't see it post here till hours or even a day

later! You can tell it's odd because if you check the time and date it will be

the time and date stamped. I call it lost in -land. If however you post

something and don't see it and it's been over a day -please repost. Tim I can

tell you take lots of time and thought to post some very interesting scientific

type answers and I'd hate to lose them too. Please to everyone resend it if you

don't see it.

And Kathy I didn't even catch the seizure and weight loss aspect until I just

read this from Tim -I want to second what he says about that -I'd even go as far

as saying don't even try anything extra for the yeast until you try the

nutriiveda...it seems to have it's way of working on the whole body in ways we

may not understand yet and other than fish oils or anything that is medical

necessary I'd say to give it a good shot and to expect the best results -just

keep it simple and try the nutriiveda- with your doctor's approval of course.

You may want to read Mel's blog http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/about

and even speak to Robin, Mel's mom. Mel almost died from seizures twice and has

been seizure free since being on the nutriiveda. She too had gained weight from

the medication -30 pounds- but with the nutriiveda she lost much of the weight

she gained and again has been seizure free. Her doctor is extremely impressed

and as all of us in wonder of the nutriiveda and the dramatic changes it created

in Mel (and again many of our children of all ages -Mel is now 26 years old)

Her doctor has lowered Mel's seizure meds Depakote (sp?) 3X now and it's now

possible that Mel -who had almost died of seizures and was hospitalized near

death twice -with severe headaches that seemed constant -will be able to be off

seizure meds one day not too long in the future due to nutriiveda!! I mean -I

can't even believe I am writing this -it feels like I am making this up. It

almost reminds me of an Aspeps fable or something ... " and all the children were

not able to talk...and then the mother brought back the magic powder and added

it to their drinks and they all started talking again...and they all lived

happily ever after "

Of course it's much more than speech. With weight not only did Mel lose weight

and gain speech and so much more -my son Tanner lost 14 pounds and while on

nutriiveda grew 3 and a half inches and is now normal height and weight...now it

may seem like the weight loss had to do with growth right? But if you check

records he lost 9 of the 14 pounds in the first week (!!!) You can read

Tanner's story here http://pursuitofresearch.org/letter_lisa.html This has

provided my son Tanner a new life. He isn't the same Tanner and those with

little ones may never know where their child would have been in a year or five

years if they didn't start nutriiveda early -but there are quite a few of us now

with older children -teens and even adult -who know for sure that the only

difference is nutriiveda -and it's no coincidence -no growth or developmental

spurt. It's just the nutriiveda. There is so much more about this I would like

to share- but all I can say is please just get approval from your child's doctor

and try it. One day we'll understand why it's working- and clearly it's the

nutritional aspect this provides. But the point being that nutriiveda was

developed to work together in a synergistic way as one product -to provide the

body with all it needs. So again please just try it -and keep it simple at

least for a month or so to just nutriiveda -fish oils and anything that is

medical necessary. You may find like us that you don't need all the other

things.

I hope to be hearing incredible updates from you too soon!!!

We are, Kathy! NV is definitely increasing spontaneous language, social skills,

and imaginative play here. My mom just saw my son this afternoon for the first

time since he started NV (just over a week and a half ago) and she commented on

several improvements. It has really been dramatic over here! Now, by that I

don't mean he's lost his diagnoses by any means, but noticable improvements in

all of these areas, and he seems very aware of the changes, too.

.. This is progress from being total nonverbal at one time. However, he doesn't

talk with out being prompted unless its something he wants or if he throws

something in the trash he wants you to say trash. Anyone have any experience

with NV helping with spontaneous language , increase social skills? I would love

to see my son play with toys and use his imagination. He has a dx of autism

however some doctors question it . He is on Depakote for absent seizures. He

gain so much weight on this drug. Also He has a long history of having yeast. He

is on Nystatin which is not getting rid of it. I thought I read that cinnamon

gets rid of yeast and NV has cinnamon in it. Thanks I guess I just need to order

it and try for myself.
