OK Ready???

[Guest guest]

allowed me to share this private conversation- but if anyone wants to be

in touch with just email me at lisa@... Also does anyone have

any experience with strokes and NV? Even if it's in the senior population

although looking for experience in the pediatric population for a parent

knows.

~~~~~~~~

Yes, please share it with the group!! It really is incredible. I honestly did

not think we would be one of the lucky ones to see such drastic improvement,

especially because Zoe was essentially nonverbal. It's all happened so fast I

don't think I've even processed it yet.

Zoe goes to a school that is especially for children with speech and language

difficulties, and I just emailed my friends whose kids go there to tell them

about our story. I just wanted them to know this product is out there and that

it may help. I actually also gave them your email address just in case they

have specific questions, I hope that's okay! (I also gave them the website).

One of them, Whitney ___, has a 3 3/4 year old son named _____ who had two

strokes either prenatally or just after his birth. Do you have any knowledge of

anyone else under these circumstances that has used NV, or have any thoughts I

can share with her?

Thanks again! I will keep you updated as Zoe's progress continues. We just

moved up to 3/4 of a scoop so who knows what more can happen!!

Hi !

Thanks so much for your help!

I'm sure you don't remember me since you talk with so many people, but I've been

wanting to update you for a while. I started my daughter Zoe on Nutriiveda in

late September, using one scoop. At the time she was 3 1/2 years old and

profoundly apraxic. She was only able to say vowel sounds and CVs, and had just

started putting the final consonant on some of her single syllable words (which

I was thrilled with!). She was definitely not putting two words together - in

fact she could not even put two syllables together.

So, fast forward to 4 months later. And....(drumroll).....she is saying 6 word

sentences!!!!!

I have a lot to thank you for - because I was actually going to stop using the

NV because Zoe was getting awful diarrhea when she started. But I emailed you

and you encouraged me not to quit - you said Zoe was de-toxing, that I should

try cutting it down to 1/4 scoop. So I did, and the diarrhea stopped.

One week later, Zoe opened up a book and counted up to 20, out of the blue

(before she was only counting up to 10). She started using words that we had

not recently used with her - words she was pulling up from her memory and able

to say without help.

Two weeks later she started putting two words together consistently. Then she

shocked me by counting up to 40 (something no one had taught her).

Less than 2 months after starting the NV, one night she had this little language

explosion. In a span of 45 minutes, she started speaking in short phrases. We

were having our first conversation! She would say something like " I want play

game " and I would say " which one? " and she would say " this one " .

After 3 months, she started regularly speaking in 6 word sentences. She is

still really, really hard to understand and even I struggle a lot to understand

her, but her articulation is improving.

So basically we went from saying " hat " before starting NV to now saying " I want

put hat on Mommy " . Or like this morning, she pointed to a light in the bathroom

that was out and said, " uh-oh, that light is out. Will you fix it? " Of course

it comes out sounding like " uh-oh, yah yite ih out. Wih fix ih? " But she's

really trying.

I can't even believe what has happened. Everyone is amazed. I think even Zoe

is amazed. I can't wait to see what our future holds! Thank you, thank

you, thank you for encouraging me to stick with it, and for telling others about

this product. I really had no idea it would have this kind of effect on Zoe.

I'm actually getting to know my little girl!!! That is priceless.

That's I would say the classic line for NV- it helps us finally get to know our

child. So many of us say that!! (if you read the blog here you'll see it ends

almost the same way

" I really recommend the Nutriiveda. I am having a blast getting to " know " my

daughter better. There's something in this stuff that's working. I'll post again

later. Thanks! "

Also the way Zoe noticed the light and talked about that reminds me of when

Gretchen first updated us about noticing something about the snow

breaking a gutter or something? Here's 's video updates for those that

never saw them
