Re: scared to try NV

February 28, 2010

Hi Krista!

This is a VERY interesting question and one I fully understand. This is also

why I highly encourage parents to seek approval for nutriiveda usage from their

child's doctor, nutritionist, and anyone they know that has great knowledge in

nutrition -an author on the topic -a PhD -even better! Because...your fear is

based (and don't take this the wrong way) in ignorance. Being fearful of

nutriiveda is like saying " I'm afraid to feed my child healthy for a long period

of time " Because that's what nutriiveda is -a REALLY healthy food.

We know what whey isolate protein is- and anyone who is into health in any way

drinks protein drinks. The whey isolate protein in nutriiveda goes way above

and beyond anything you'd buy in a typical health food store in that most are

not 100% natural since most use chemicals to separate the whey from the

casein... and most around 96% whey isoalte protein.

On the other hand nutriiveda- " money wasn't even considered " by the doctors when

they found the best whey isolate protein money could buy which is 100% natural

AND -almost 100% PURE whey isolate protein which is the easiest to digest by the

body- great for little ones and for seniors. A huge problem on both sides

-little ones and seniors is both groups consuming enough protein for health. We

know from research how important the protein is -rich in all the essential amino

acids now linked to neuro repair.

http://www.sflorg.com/comm_center/medical/p974_99.html and how the whey isolate

protein naturally raises the glutathione which is linked to so many good things

for our children in regards to natural detox.

There are over 300 clinical studies on every single element in the nutriiveda

(NV) but of course no long term studies on the actual product as it has only was

launched in September of 2009- so actually my son Tanner and Mel

http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/about are the longest on the product

-both have had what would be described as life changing improvements being on

nutriiveda -neither of our families can picture life without this product -would

be horrified!

But again I hear what you are saying - so perhaps your fear lies in what you

don't understand -what most of us don't -the ayurveda. Each element in the

nutriiveda is certified as food. While we may not have long term in 'our'

knowledge if we are from the US or UK etc. in most cases about for example the

ayurvedic aspect to the product we have a number of parents and professionals in

this group from India and China who have more than once said that each of the

ingredients of the ayurveda aspect are things found in any kitchen used as food

or for cooking in food by anyone from India...and used for over five thousand

years as ayurvedic medicine. One of our parents who is from China is a research

scientist and I'm not sure if she wants me to use her name but she said to me

there is nothing in the product that is harmful in any way -her only initial

concern was " is it worth it? " For her autistic son -she has seen numerous

reasons to answer that question YES and she says " this is a very good product "

While this product was formulated and endorsed by leading medical doctors like

Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Simon -two alone who have MUCH to lose if this

product was to have some sort of long term effect and they claim the product to

have " no known side effects, no drug interactions " and no known overdose

amount...let me ask you a question:

Are you this analytical with everything your child eats or drinks?

Do you make sure the foods your child eats aren't genetically altered and what

if any are the long term effects of them?

http://www.actionbioscience.org/biotech/sakko.html

Do you make sure all the food your child eats are hormone and antibiotic free

and if not what if any are the long term effects of them?

http://www.environmentalhealththreats.com/environmental-health-hormones.shtml

And let's get real

Do you read and analyze your child's trick or treat bag? The popcorn or drinks

at the movie theater with the same scrutiny as nutriiveda???

Our resident " blog master " for Mel's blog is my friend Jolie

http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/about-blog who has noticed this trend

of fear of fish oil and now nutriiveda -of all things healthy it appears, in

contrast to say the McFood most of us willingly feed our children without

question has said " Do parents analyze a juice box the way they analyze

nutriiveda?? "

I know our group tends to be one that probably does read labels, feed more

organic and all natural foods when possible...but we still live on planet Earth!

So my question to you there is " WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM EFFECTS OF THAT?!! "

I mean soil, water, air- we know they aren't all pure.

And then that brings me to the topic of prescription medicine which is another

comfort zone. A huge concern of mine is the increasing number of parents

-including some of you here- have put your child onto medication recommended by

your child's doctor whether it be Namenda a drug developed for adults with

alzheimer's (!!! need I say more???) with a list of side effects one could choke

a killer whale with

http://www.drugs.com/sfx/namenda-side-effects.html and then there are the drugs

for herpes also exploratory being recommended by some medical doctors to " treat "

autism...and if your child is apraxic -oh well maybe them too why not? How many

of you are told something by your child's doctor in regards to a medication they

are recommending for your child and ask " what are the long term side effects of

this drug? " You should...but what if it's a new drug? Are you just as

skeptical.

Not for nothing but easily the owner of Zrii -Bill Farley who has been a

billionaire -solid billionaire since the 80s and a neighbor and friend of Oprah

Winfrey, and friends with Dr. Deepak Chopra -easily this could have been if they

wanted it to be some sort of prescriptive drug. Let's say they did already do a

small clinical study on our group -we already know the results

http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages & ref=mb#!/topic.php?uid=115029735601 & topic=1\

3611 would be off the charts.

So if it was an expensive prescription vs something you can buy for 40 bucks a

canister...would that ease worries? Probably -it's just our warped society.

And the fact that Bill Farley and Dr. Deepak Chopra decided to launch it in a

direct sales company??? double eeeeeeek! I mean if we had the robot from lost

in space here he'd probably explode! I mean God forbid it's someone other than

a drug company or Walmart that makes a profit...I mean what if it's a ...I don't

know...children's nonprofit??? (here's where I put the plug in for

http://www.pursuitofresearch.org )

But to answer your question- no there probably is no reason to put your son on

the nutriiveda. It doesn't in any way sound like he's anything but a late

talker to me and he was probably misdiagnosed as apraxic. Some professionals

clearly don't know what apraxia is -but if your 2 year old is already talking

and saying 2 word sentences...where is the delay??? It's probably time for you

to get a second opinion on his diagnosis! I mean sure you could give him

nutriiveda to supplement his diet if he doesn't eat well -again it's SUPER

healthy....but why would one expect any surges in speech from the nutriiveda

when they are happening on their own (and dare I say that in your child's case

probably would happen even WITHOUT therapy!!) Kids with developmental lags in

speech will benefit from therapy as of course it helps stimulate and could even

accelerate the developmental process -but if for example you stopped the therapy

(and at an age appropriate speech level why not?) his surge would keep on

keeping on. I mean there is no such thing as super SLP last I checked and those

here in the group can correct me if I'm wrong that will help your 2 year old

" overcome " his apraxia by the age of ...um 2?

I just want to again say that I agree with you -I am living on the same planet

and probably you are in the US so the same country and have the same warped

sense of what we are suspicious of...and it hit me like a ton of bricks as I

posted here the day that my family and one of my kid's friends went to see some

movie and the kid asked me " would you like a Sweet Tart " and I said " sure " as he

was sharing them with my boys too....and what -that was just weeks after I too

over analyzed the bejeevers out of nutriiveda with every MD, nutritionist,

natural doctor, nutritional author, fitness expert PhD Dianne, and then on the

internet searching for ayurvdic PhDs to call up and bug to check out this

product...so yes MY confidence in nutriiveda is off the roof on nutriiveda that

it's healthy for you if you are " human " unless allergic to one of the foods in

it -AND appears based on feedback

http://www.facebook.com/?sk=messages & ref=mb#!/topic.php?uid=115029735601 & topic=1\

3611 if your child is autistic, apraxic, or has TBI, global delays, seizure or

metabolic disorders it will be the OMG " food " you are looking for...but did I go

home because I felt really really dumb about not even thinking twice about

eating or letting my kids eat Sweet Tarts and research what exactly is IN a

Sweet Tart? Yes I did -don't think you guys would like it to much if you really

looked into half the stuff they market to our kids!

Try to break the sick society mold we have here of questioning what is healthy

be it fish oil or now nutriiveda for example- or at least apply the same rules

to everything your child consumes -this is the lesson I'm trying to learn too!!!

And trust me -now that I have pointed all this out you will think of this next

time your child asks for a pancake you you whip out some log cabin butter-maple

artificial flavored syrup

Krista you say your son " is not even 2 " and he's already speaking in 2 word

phrases? Why is he even in speech therapy? Kate
