Re: NUTRIIVEDA info needed to pass along, QUICKLY! LISA GENG???

[Guest guest]

Hi !

I promise to put something together tonight and have a few others helping me. I

haven't been able to reach Robin today but you can also email her at

rcketchem@... and her daughter Mel's case is well documented at the

blog http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/about (and Robin's email is there

I believe just about in every post) She's in Georgia and it all happened

recently in the hospital. There was a team of doctors that worked on Mel -and

it was her doctor who said there is no other explanation to the change in the

neuroscans other than nutriiveda is healing 's brain and that he believes

she'll be off all seizure meds by later this year. We know quite a few children

now seizure free since being on nutriiveda -and I do believe Dr. Tom is correct

in that this has something to do with neurotransmitter support. (under MD

theories http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html ) But again the simplicity of

this is that like the essential fatty acids -I'm sure in part at least this is

based on the essential amino acids -doctors have to appreciate the importance of

that. It goes back to almost the simplicity of " an apple a day " it's a way

nutrition can help.

Well will get working on it now -because I believe many could use this -and I

agree it's important for our children's doctors to be aware of what we are

seeing. I mean why not -it's simple and just whole foods and why shouldn't it

be easy after all our children have been through?!

Nutriiveda was discovered as a potential therapeutic nutrient with strong

anecdotal support both parental and professional for children and adults with

autism, apraxia and other speech impairments, ADHD, Traumatic Brain Injury,

seizure disorders, epilepsy and global delays. Some of the areas of surges

reported within days include but not limited to

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 in a few cases elimination of any seizures and headaches

and decrease in seizure meds as well

IMAGINATIVE PLAY increase in imaginative play and story telling

One 26 year old from Georgia who went through extensive testing for severe

seizures and on high levels of Depakote was seizure free from the time first on

Nutriiveda and showed significant progress in motor and verbal skills. Doctors

are no longer able to trigger any seizure activity and her doctor says that her

brain scans are showing a " normal healthy brain " and that there is " no

explanation other than somehow nutriiveda is healing 's brain " Her

doctors believe will be off all seizure medications by later this year.

While no diet or supplement should be used alone without appropriate therapy and

placement for autism or other neurologically based communication impairments,

there is research to support the use of nutrients, including essential

nutrients, to maximize brain function.

Neurotransmitter is a chemical that relays signals between a neuron and another

cell. For instance, if a child is not getting enough of certain key nutrients,

it compromises neurotransmitter production.

Amino Acids as Precursors for Neurotransmitters

Each serving of Nutriiveda contains all of the essential amino acids from whole

food which is the purest form of supplementation.

Amino acids are precursors to dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and many

other substances critical to health and well-being. Besides building cells and

repairing tissue, the following is true:

* Amino acids form antibodies to combat invading bacteria and viruses

* Amino acids are part of the enzyme and hormonal system

* Amino acids carry oxygen throughout the body and participate in muscle

activity

* They are found to be extremely useful in weight control, depression

fighting, muscle building, proper hormonal activity

* They are also found to be useful in proper function of the immune system

* Amino acids are necessary for growth and cellular replication throughout

the body

Amino acids are safe, non-toxic, non-addictive, and the body does not build a

tolerance to them.

In addition neurology researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

have shown that feeding amino acids to brain-injured animals restores their

cognitive abilities and may set the stage for the first effective treatment for

cognitive impairments suffered by people with traumatic brain injuries. 1

In addition the whey isolate protein plays a very important role of dramatically

raising the antioxidant glutathione. “The antioxidant glutathione†" critical

for the body to excrete metals†" typically works by binding to heavy metals,

which the body then knows to eliminate. In 2004, researcher Jill , Ph.D.,

of the Arkansas School of Medicine, led a pioneering study that showed autistic

kids had significantly less glutathione than typical kids†" which put their

bodies in a state of " constant oxidative stress. " In other words, autistic kids

were genetically predisposed to have low glutathione levels, making them

particularly susceptible to heavy metal toxicity. " (2)

Outside of the essential amino acids and protein, there is the ayurvedic

component; rich in 5000 years of medicinal and healing usage, brought to

NutriiVeda by leading medical and ayurvedic doctors including the Chopra Center

for Wellbeing who formulated and endorse the NutriiVeda.

There has been numerous studies on turmeric/curcumin’s apparent ability to

prevent, slow, even reverse, the build up of neural plaque which is implicated

in Alzheimer's Disease (3)

There are numerous medical doctors behind the formulation of nutriiveda besides

Dr. Deepak Chopra MD and Dr. Simon MD including Dr. Yarema MD and

Dr. Suhas G.Kshirsagar BAMS, MD, who both have thoughts to share on the surges

being reported in children with autism, seizures and other impairments by adding

nutriiveda to their diets.

Yarema M.D author of Eat, Taste, Heal An Ayuvedic Guidebook and Cookbook

for Modern Living says “The amino acid profile of NutriiVeda would undoubtedly

assist and support the healing of any neurotransmitter deficiency, whether

seizures, depression, anxiety disorder, insomnia. Parkinson's disease, due to

its unique natureâ€

And as Dr. Suhas G.Kshirsagar BAMS, MD, Head of US Operations California Center

for Integrative Medicine says “Nutriiveda takes care of some vital nutrients

absolutely needed for the optimum functioning of neuro-physiology but also the

herbs like Amalaki-Turmeric-Guggul- Gymnema work on opening the micro

circulatory channels. These nutrients also regulate the various endocrine

pathways. It is very likely that there is better oxygenation to the brain and

harmonious functioning of the Rt and Lt hemispheres because of reduced

inflammation.

Nutriiveda is casein, gluten, sodium, caffeine and fat free and contains no

preservatives, and tested FREE of any heavy metals, pesticides or herbicides.

There are no known drug interactions or overdose levels however the dosages

below of nutrients recommended are all within NIH guidelines for nutrients. Each

ingredient in NutriiVeda is certified as food and the nutrients in Nutriiveda

are all from whole foods.

(if you have to go with this version -you can also print out the nutritional

panel but we are going to make this into a PDF that one can print out -pleasing

to the eye and try to keep it all to one page)

Also if you have a child surging on nutriiveda and your doctor is willing to be

quoted on progress (and a few reports here already) please let us know if we can

share on this page. There may be other parents in your area who would like to

know there is a doctor in his or her area knowledgeable about nutrition and for

this reason we are starting a referral page

Here is a PDF that can be printed out to bring to your child's doc

http://pursuitofresearch.org/NutriiVeda%20Information.pdf

Which can be found on this page http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html

I'm sure it will be improved -but at least a start
