Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 , No I didn't take Matt off of NV because of you or anything in particular. I was just lazy! So last week I started to give it back to him and I quickly noticed an improvement in his temperament. I never once thought about him having a seizure. Today took me by complete surprise. I remember that I started him on NV on Jan 24, 2010 and his last seizure was Feb. 4, 2010. So it seems it might take two weeks or so to build up in his system? I don't know, I hoping it could be as easy as that. My comfort level with letting Matt go out and play without being a helicopter mom was feeling really good. Okay time to go watch a movie with my honey Good night From: kiddietalk <kiddietalk@...> Subject: [ ] Prayers to both Alyssa and Matt!!! Date: Friday, February 18, 2011, 8:23 PM Oh Alyssa I'm so sorry!!! When you say take a break from NV- is there a reason? Tanner now loves his NV- is Matt sick of it? Well the good news is that if it worked for Matt and all the others that stopped having seizures and went off meds due to it- it should work again. Please keep us posted and if you are low on NV I'm sure you can get some from Barbara. Does she know (well I guess now she does!) While I know for kids with apraxia and autism if we take them off after 6 months to a year in some cases now there is no harm in regression for autism or apraxia- other than regression. But stopping NV or even reducing dosage after years on multiple medications where Matt still had seizures and the doctor was going to remove part of his front temporal lobe...nobody has that answer and the risk is great from where he was prior. Please don't tell me you stopped it because of this blog I wrote!! http://pursuitofresearch.org/2011/01/19/one-year-later-a-possible-cure-through-e\ ssential-nutrition-for-autism-apraxia-etc/ Again I really only meant it for the apraxia and autism -as it seems the goal for most parents is to use something and be able to stop it. But as we know we can't stop essentials of air, water, or nutrients- all are needed one way or another and all NV is would be essential nutrients- so if whatever essential nutrients are in it aren't consumed in other foods one would need it for life. I just know it's going to be OK again Alyssa! Do you think we should update your page now for seizures and report this so others know? http://pursuitofresearch.com/2010/11/22/is-nutriiveda-creating-a-paradigm-shift-\ in-treatment-of-seizures/ There is no way to know if he had the seizure because he stopped NV for 2 weeks -but we can just document exactly what happened. I do plan on bringing Tanner down to maintenance at some point which would be a scoop or two a day vs any more than that, but as I wrote on that page I'm one of those parents that wants Tanner to take fish oils for life -and now that I see what NV does -I think having a protein shake a day as a snack or a meal even is healthy- so why not? ....weren't you giving Matt a half dosage just 2 scoops a day and yet he still didn't have a seizure...or did you go back to the 4 a day? When you started him back up was it on the full or half dosage for his age? Until research we won't know and thus we are years off from the answer. Did you speak with his doctor yet? If you did what did he say? I do honestly believe the reason for the seizure was the lack of NV for 2 weeks and that he'll be fine again once back on -and I would give him the 4 scoops a day again. I'm praying for you and Matt that NV is the answer again for now!!! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Alyssa, ( & group) Oh my! Poor Matt!! YES! I feel strongly that the reason for Matt's seizure was that he was off of the NV 2 weeks. I would recommend putting him back on 4 scoops per day ASAP! I know he's been on the half dosage for his age of 2 scoops a day but when did that start? I can't remember. It seems that Matt was doing well on 2 scoops a day--maintenance but that's it. When he was on 4 scoops a day last spring/summer is when I remember more speech-language gains. I am betting that he needs 4 scoops a day to make therapeutic gains. Let's see how he does back on 4 scoops a day. If you have to doctor the shakes again with Nestle's choc syrup or peanut butter, etc, do it. I would recommend treating the NV shakes like medicine--gotta take it; non-negotiable. Keep me posted!! Call or txt me.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Before I forget, thank you to everyone for your prayers. The support means a lot. Barbara, has been drinking his milk shake again starting early last week. He has no trouble drinking it I was just lazy about it and maybe over confident on our success so far? I know this is about Matt but I feel so beaten! This year has been a hug challenge for me fighting for Matt's rights and not coming up with the best out come! At the moment I am having a hard time picking myself up and moving on but you know me I will! Need to go inject some coffee so we can take our beautiful boy out on a train ride today.
