Re: Increasing fish oils???

[Guest guest]

I only had Tanner on 4 ProEFA and 2 ProEPA a day for years. We worked up to

that and he was much older and larger than your child and I found that dosage to

be great for him. At one point I had him a bit higher- but found no surge or

regression if I raised him. On the other hand from the 4/2 dosage if I tried to

lower him he'd regress within a day with " bumpy " speech.

After Tanner was on nutriiveda for a few months however -because it supports the

metabolic system as well I cut his fish oil dosage in half from the 4 ProEFA 2

ProEPA to 2 ProEFA 1 ProEPA and not only no regression but he continues to

surge- blows my mind. I've never heard of a preschool in the middle of the

school year removing a child from a class because he surged so much -and quite

honestly think that would be the best problem ever! Up to you if you want to

wait but as one doctor once told me- you never want to withhold something that

you know or highly suspect will help a child...at least for too long. The more

I'm reading up on all the whole foods in nutriiveda the more I understand why

this is helping. It appears it's just a matter of what is essential. I have to

update this http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html as I've learned a bit

more. Put it this way -google neurotransmitter and some of the essential amino

acids and other foods in nutriiveda- there is just so much. No doubt in my mind

that I'm helping Tanner to heal his own brain just by providing him with what he

needs but didn't have up til now no matter how healthy I thought I fed him.

How old and large was your child. My son is 6 and 61 lbs and is on the 2 to

1 ratio is that still correct?

Tanner is 13 now and is 5 foot 10 inches high and weighs 148 pounds -so

essentially the size of a grown man. But he's always been very tall for his

age. At 3 years old I took him with me to Dakota's school where Dakota was in

kindergarten for a PTA meeting. There was a table of baked goods that Tanner

was standing near looking at and a teacher walked up to him and said " Young man

where are you supposed to be right now? " She thought he was in kindergarten and

he was only 3 years old!

Tanner for years and years was on 4 ProEFA and 2 ProEPA. Incredibly as tall as

he already was a few months ago (5 foot 7) he grew another 3 inches in the past

few months since putting him on nutriiveda. Sometime in December (?) I cut

Tanner's dosage of fish oils in half, because it's clear nutriiveda is helping

him in so many areas and I suspect helping his body utilize the essential fatty

acids better than before. As I suspected there was no regression for the first

time in Tanner's life when I reduced his fish oils from the 4/2 to yes the 2/1

ratio- but actually with just 2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA a day. That's all Tanner's

on now. Dakota on the other hand -my ADHD son who only just started the 4

scoops a day of nutriiveda more recently is still on his full dosage of fish

oils and big time regresses if he skips a day. It will be curious to see if he

too can be cut as he is on 10 capsules a day of ProEFA and ProEPA which for his

almost entire school career (he's now 15) has kept him off all ADHD meds thank

goodness!

The reason we put Dakota on to a therapeutic dosage of nutriiveda too was not

just due to ADHD. And unlike Tanner -Dakota refused to drink nutriiveda for

months. But....Tanner, my 13 year old, started to shoot up in height past my 15

year old. Think that was a huge motivating factor for Dakota- and Dakota's

bright enough to know that it didn't appear to be just a coincidental growth

spurt of 3 inchses in 3 months. So more recently for ADHD reasons and now for

growth reasons (since Dakota is not a very healthy eater) we have Dakota on 4

scoops a day now too of nutriiveda. Just like Tanner within a month he shot up

an inch- and second month another so thankfully wasn't too late and again it's

only about 2 months for the 4 scoops for Dakota. Now Dakota is the same height

as Tanner -and he no longer argues about drinking nutriiveda. In addition both

boys grades which were already good -have gone to almost perfect. Sorry if I

keep bringing this up but I'm in awe of the seemingly sudden changes -and of

course do not just mean height.

I've been reading the book The Genius In All Of Us and there are so many

variables to genetics. Poor nutrition can make a difference in everything

-including the difference of inches in height. I believe amongst other things,

some which are far more important than height - this is why so many of us are

reporting remarkable growth spurts on nutriiveda as well- because of the

essential amino acids. But I like to mention height because it's something that

we can literally measure. Barbara has twins that are normal developing

that were about the same height. Her son drinks nutriiveda and her daughter

they can't get it into her- her son has shot up past her daughter in the past 3

months or so since being on nutriiveda. For those of you friends with me on

facebook I have pics of me standing next to Tanner and Dakota at Disney

yesterday. I'm 5 foot 5 (and a half!) inches tall -and I look like a pipsqueak

standing in between my two sons! So if you start nutriiveda -please measure

height as from what I saw with both -growth is quick.

Again search " essential amino acids " which are the building blocks of ....life

(!) and neurotransmitters. May want to read this too

http://pursuitofresearch.org/science.html#doctors I of course believe that the

essential fatty acids are essential for those that have asked me " well why don't

you try to stop them? " Why stop giving my son something that is essential but

that he for sure doesn't get enough of in his diet? But essential fatty acids

aren't all that is essential to our bodies- perhaps as a group, in general -the

essential amino acids have been overlooked far too long. And from what I'm

reading many of you supplemented with one or three of them -but not from whole

foods and not always looking at chemical reactions of how one nutrient requires

another- very complex. And trying to learn about the ayurvedic mix which no

doubt in my mind adds to the beauty of why this is working so remarkably as

well.

So should you increase fish oils? Again depends. At some point we had Tanner

up to 6 ProEFA and 3 ProEPA daily, but only for a short time -for years he's

only been on the 4/2 and most recently on just 2/1 -and I suspect that's where

we'll stay. I'm very thankful for how far the fish oils brought both my boys

-but in our family's case I'm beyond happy that I discovered the importance of

the essential amino acids as well from protein. Nutriiveda has been the answer

we were searching for. And I suspect it's not just helping -but somehow

rewiring Tanner's brain. I do not believe Tanner will need to be on therapeutic

4 scoops a day dosages for life. But like fish oils- it will just be healthy

for him to have a scoop or two each day as a healthy protein shake....with his

fish oils.
