Re: our son on day 16 with NV

[Guest guest]

Thank you !

Keep in mind for the days you used the half dosage -most report no change on the

half dosage- only surges on the full dosage as it's now very clear that

nutriiveda is dosage dependant. Also please look for changes in any of the

following areas:

SPEECH articulation, complexity and sophistication of sentence structure

LANGUAGE better understanding of written and spoken word, development of

better reading and writing skills

ACADEMICS/LEARNING reported surges in all areas of school

FINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS also multi tasking

SENSE OF HUMOR both catching subtle humor and wanting to make others

laugh-joking around

AWARENESS OF SURROUNDINGS (for autism) reported following gaze and more

interactions

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS more non-verbal communication, for oral apraxia more

expressions instead of blank stares when not engaged in conversation

FOCUS on task, more willing to listen and try

MULTI TASKING (for apraxia as this is something typically not done or done

well)

SOCIAL wanting to participate with others via play and communication

MOOD reported seems " happier " for a number

DEVELOPMENTAL CATCHING UP for those that never went through stages

-reportedly going through them for the first time.

DECREASE IN SEIZURES so far in one case elimination of any seizures and

headaches and decrease in seizure meds as well

IMAGINATIVE PLAY increase in imaginative play and story telling

(a few are reporting improvements in sensory issues as well)

Make sure he is well hydrated. A rough estimate of amount of liquid of day

would be his weight X .6 but keep in mind that there is liquid in food as well

and it does not have to be just water.

If there is any way of knowing he should be having a slight change in his bowels

his first week (on full dosage anyway) amount, smell (bad) and frequency -and I

don't mean loose stools either. That could be the one not talked about aspect

that is the key reported prior to surges. Most notice that more once they

increase hydration -so the two do work together and again this is the first

weeks on full dosage. (of which you are on day 6)

From the survey so far most are seeing surges in the first week. Please do

continue to document because until more parents fill out the survey there is no

way of knowing if you don't notice any surges after a week if there is a chance

you'll still have them. Anyone?

Again for those that have not yet done so who have a child on nutriiveda -

please fill out the survey at http://pursuitofresearch.org/survey.html

I would say once your child is on nutriiveda for 2 weeks at full dosage if you

notice no change in any area to please discontinue use of it for a few days and

observe if there are any regressions off.

Like the fish oils if you don't notice any surges on or regressions off then it

appears it's unfortunately not going to be the answer. We are hearing positive

reports in almost all cases across the board for various conditions (apraxia,

autism, TBI, ADHD, seizure disorders etc) for it appears any age and again so

far the survey reports are all showing signs are being reported in days.

Again please please fill out the survey if you have not done so because it will

help us to better answer questions like this going ahead.

I have great hopes that you too will see the surges many of us have

experienced with our children! And again some reasons why nutriiveda may be

" working " http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html
