Double Wow to Ina's TWO sons with apraxia on NV!!

[Guest guest]

Below is an update from who's sons go to Kent University. has

sent me the evaluation which credits " therapy and nutriiveda " for her son going

from severe to mild apraxia in 3 months (!!!) I recall telling me both

boys shot up in height too- but I'm sure there are many things that aren't in

here -but what she does have is amazing. Please read the following because both

boys had a different reaction. One was the typical right away dramatic -the

other not so much. Fortunately as and her other son both were

experiencing positive results she kept her older apraxic son on it for health

reasons...and then she learned of the higher dosages I have Tanner on (and I've

since changed the dosages here http://pursuitofresearch.org/faq.html#dosage and

then with just a HALF A SCOOP more...dramatic surge. We know it's dosage

dependent. I just can't wait till this stuff is validated. And I do hope all

can figure out creative ways to get this into their child in a fun way -we have

some suggestions here http://pursuitofresearch.org/serving_suggestions.html

including Liralen's butter idea for cinnamon toast!)

Here's 's update that she asked me to share here too!

Nutriiveda Update

....

From:

,

Just wanted to write to let you know how the boys are doing on Nutriiveda. We

started at the beginning of April. I remember when I first got it/tasted it and

thought I would never get the boys to drink it. We started mixing it with

DariFree chocolate and gradually we have grown accustomed to drinking it mixed

only with water. I have continued to monitor their hydration. When it is

really hot or humid, I have them drink Smart Water for electrolytes. I always

have them drink a glass of water before they drink the Nutriiveda mix.

Both my 5 and 7 year old were on 2 heaping scoops split between morning and

afternoon. My 5 year old took off right away. When we started Nutriiveda, I was

still translating for unfamiliar listeners and sometimes for family (provided I

new what he was saying). Within about a month and 1/2, I was only rarely

translating. During this time, he made a 20 point gain on The Goldman Fristoe

Test of Articulation, going from a standard score of 69 to a standard score of

89 in one day shy of a month between the two tests. He also made gains in

behavior, no longer jumping through martial arts. In July, we took him to his

Neurologist who diagnosed him with mild-moderate Apraxia, extending to limbs.

An improvement from his former severe Apraxia diagnosis. He continues to make

progress in speech, song singing, motor skills, and just maturity in general.

One other thing I want to point out is that Ben's SLP has cards that she used

and prior to Nutriiveda Ben would tire out after 5 cards and that was with

encouragement. They were even thinking of shortening Ben's sessions since he

would get so tired. After being on Nutriiveda for 3 weeks Ben started going

through all 25 cards -and all on his own!! No more fatigue. The one problem

now since Nutriiveda is that according to his school and based on Ben's current

ability he doesn't qualify for any services at all.

Changing his Nordic Naturals ratio from 2:1 to 1:1 for attention has helped

also. I realized that two heaping scoops is basically 3 level scoops, so he

gets 1 level scoop in the morning and 2 level scoops in the afternoon.

My 7 year old has very mild Apraxia and since we waited a year to start

kindergarten, he was already doing well. He needed to work on his 'R' sound and

on integrating his moro reflex. I figured that he would change quickly on the

Nutriiveda. We maybe saw some changes, but nothing like Ben. I was on it also

and felt clearer thinking and more even emotionally. Because Ben and I were

experiencing changes, we kept on it, knowing that it was at least good for

him. After realizing how much you had Tanner on and how much older/bigger

was than Ben, I moved him up to 3 level and 1/2 scoops/day. Very quickly we

started seeing changes. is on a traveling soccer team. Suddenly, he was

kicking the soccer ball for goals from a distance and HARD. He was able to

throw the football FAR and kick it FAR. People were noticing. Even older kicks

were talking about his throw. He was already athletic, but it has definitely

had a push since starting the new amount less than a month ago. School started

a little before and he is reading really well in first grade. He wasn't behind

before, but it does seem a little easier for him to visualize the words and then

remember them/generalize them in the future. Two weeks ago, his speech teacher

said that he was finally able to make the 'r' sound in some positions that day.

'R' his the one sound he was unable to make.

My 5 year old has severe asthma and so we have started the Buteyko Breathing

Technique, which emphasizes lips closed and proper resting tongue placement so

that you take smaller breaths through the nose. We have already had a cold that

only lasted a week without using his fast acting inhaler. As his health becomes

more consistent, I'm sure Ben will have even greater progress. I have also

heard that the proper tongue placement on the the roof of the mouth helps a lot

with articulation.

I finally feel like between the Nutriiveda and Nordic Naturals and breathing

properly, we have found the key to actually allowing Ben to heal on a permanent

basis. There is nothing more enjoyable than to see him begin to lead the stress

free/fun life that childhood should be. Thanks for letting us know about it.

Sincerely,

This is very encouraging. We just started yesterday and I gave Nate 2 scoops at

once and he got very hyper. Today I split the scoops. Nate has DS, severe

apraxia, and SI issues also immune deficiency and asthma and gets pneumonia

often! I hope the NV will help. Today at school they sang a morning song and

at his turn when asked if he was happy or sad, he said Happy. Very unusual to

get a response. (BTW this is a new class and third day for him.) The teacher

also said on the playground she asked the kids a question--I don't think she ws

expecting an answer and Nate answered the question with a word not just yes or

no. Nate does not usually answer questions except to say no or use body language

to show yes. Hmmmmm

He drank his scoop in a strawberry shake this morning---apple juice, frozen

strawberries, NV, 1/4 tsp barley, probiotic, 1 tsp Omega 3 Cure, and some

organic raw honey. Drank it all in the car. This afternoon I gave him a scoop

in vanilla rice milk and he drank it all.

Good for Nate! That strawberry shake you gave him this morning sounds

great. I may have to try that!
