Noah's story after being on Nutriiveda

[Guest guest]

Noah is my 4 year old apraxic grandson. He's had a multitude of problems with

birth, couldn't breastfeed, not sure at this point if that was Mom or him, but

he couldn't, he had pyloric stenosis at 4 weeks, which required surgery,

torticollis, ankles turn in, eyes turn in to the point he needs to wear glasses

and has a depth perception problem. He's very active, not yet been given a

hyperactive diagnosis, but never sits still, has trouble concentrating on one

thing at a time. He's been diagnosed also with Sensory Integration Disorder. I

ordered Nutriiveda a few months ago for my daughter and son in law to give to

Noah to see what the Nutriiveda could do for his condition of apraxia after

reading the amazing testimonials. Within days, we seemed to notice progress

with his speech, more babbling, (and his speech therapist said that she had

seen a huge difference in his progress). She actually said she could cry, she

had seen such an improvement. He also was more aware of being wet and was

virtually trying to potty train himself. His parents were concerned about him

drinking Nutriiveda and wanted to talk to his pediatrician, at his 4 year old

check-up, as we all should before embarking on something we are giving our kids.

Unfortunately, this pediatrician, in my opinion, was very closed minded and told

them immediately, NO, don't do this, there haven't been enough studies to see

whether or not this would be beneficial. I'm not completely sure how it was

presented to the pediatrician, I had told them to take the canister and let her

see for herself what good nutritious vitamins and amino acids are in the

Nutriiveda. However, the doctor said No, and so the parents did what she said. I

kept reading about the testimonials and finally emailed my son in law (yeah I

emailed, so I could say everything I wanted to say without getting too emotional

about the whole subject) and told him I loved Noah too much to let this drop. I

told him that I keep reading these testimonials, and the information on the

forums, that I really wanted him to get a second opinion, I just couldn't let

this opportunity pass Noah by. The other grandmother works at a well known

university and works with a world renowned recognized doctor who does research

and is a specialist in developmental delays, Autism and Aspergers Syndrome. I'm

not at liberty to mention his name, we don't have his permission to do so, (only

because she hasn't asked him at this point to do so). She had him look at the

ingredients in Nutriiveda and he saw no reason whatsoever that Noah couldn't try

this. He told her he knew of parents trying alternative treatments like this

with success. So, with that reinforcement, I asked Noah's parents to please give

this a try again. I told them the worse that could happen, is Noah drinks

something that is very nutritious for him and his Nana is out the money to buy

the Nutriiveda. I would love to be able to say that in 2 or 3 days, Noah was

talking sentences, but I can't say that. What I can say is he told me the other

day, " Bye-Bye Nana " , and coming from a child that could only say Ma-Ma and Da-Da

and Hi on a pretty consistent basis, with Ma-Ma being the most consistent word

he could say, I was extremely delighted. Being on the Nutriiveda again for about

a month, I can see evidence that it is working in so many other areas with Noah.

He's really working on the potty training with feeling the sensation that he has

to go and tells his parents, he's much calmer than he was before, seems to

listen to you more when you talk to him, and he's mimicking what the other

children, or cartoon characters, are doing on TV or video. He has started speech

therapy 3 times a week, and takes PT one day a week, and OT one day a week. One

could say, well, maybe it's the increased speech therapy that's helping him to

talk more and I'm sure it's helping, but with all the changes I have seen with

him, I can't contribute it to just that, I feel certain it is the Nutriiveda.

Another thing I wanted to share is about Noah's head butting. When he was

frustrated, didn't get his way, he would head butt his parents to the point that

my daughter would have a bloody nose, he even blacked her eye one day. Since day

one on the Nutriiveda the second time, he hasn't head butted once. With my

daughter only being about 4'10 " , I am very thrilled about this. She's my child,

and I sure didn't like seeing her get hurt because of Noah's frustration, even

if I understood why he felt the urge to lash out.

(I forgot and left out the part about the Sensory Integration Disorder on the

Testimonial page, and additional info on the head butting, so , If you want

to put this one on there instead...)
