Guest guest Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I am SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! You just got yourself the best early Mother's Day gift!!! And yes it's perfectly normal for there to be regressions in one area while there are surges in another. Actually it's pretty cool you pointed this out without him being on nutriiveda because it shows from an organic sense that changes in behavior sometimes...are normal! What do you do for sensory issues? You can discuss with his OT and she may have suggestions for things you can do at home too depending upon the areas affected sensory wise. I can tell you for my son Tanner those cheap tiny massage machines, massage pillows -soft fabrics, brushing. The sensory diet http://sensorysmarts.com/sensory_diet_activities.html http://www.sensory-processing-disorder.com/sensory-diet.html http://www.cedwvu.org/programs/feeding/sensorydiet2.doc About the surges -anything at all different you can recall? What I try to do whenever I noticed a sudden surge in Tanner as it's not like I am adding something new every day is to try to think back of what is different. In the past as you may recall I noticed a day at the water parks or on the rides,perhaps stimulation to the vestibular system (or what I like to call " ride therapy " !) And while this time the surge in speech, please note that for our children it's not unusual for there to be a regression in speech when they are first learning a new skill such as reading etc. It's only temporary. I know your child is on fish oils but the behavior changes on them like nutriiveda are only to start. And with surges happening anyway...one may ask...how do we know these surges on essential fatty acids and/or now essential amino acids aren't just coincidence? Because of the rapid surges in both cases (a day to 3 weeks) and the similar surges. If it was just one child or two, or just ten, or twenty -but at this point for fish oils it's tens of thousands and for nutriiveda it's hundreds. We know fish oils or essential fatty acids are pretty well accepted- not much doubt -but I was around when they were doubted and used to tell parents seeing surges with therapy alone that fish oils can help accelerate progress even greater. If one wanted to know if the surges were just coincidental on nutriiveda or fish oils I still say the best thing to do is stop them -that's when we really know yes they work! So I want to say once again -even with therapy, fish oils...and yes even with surges- nutriiveda takes it up a notch in almost all cases. Nutriiveda - the surges are all over the place, but also all at once it appears and sudden; including but not limited to surges in growth, improvements to strength and motor planning, multi tasking, abstract humor and thought to sophisticated sometimes beyond their years language production, to eye contact, increased imaginative play and thought, increased social skills, increased maturity and focus, improved academics almost overnight in reading and writing... dramatic enough for phone calls from the teacher in a few cases now and this is with the older apraxic children some of them teens, for the little ones -all of a sudden learning to go potty and regularity if older, improved sleep and wake cycles, improved diet and reduction or elimination of unhealthy food cravings, elimination of seizures, reduction in meds -perhaps the most huge and in Mel's case proven that her brain has changed to a normal healthy one in her doctor's words that there is no other logical explanation http://littlemermaidmelanie.wordpress.com/ But just like fish oils there were some that never used them- and I'm sure some won't use nutriiveda no matter what their doctor or anyone else says...at least for years. But regardless our children will progress one rate or another -and that's a beautiful thing! A weekend to celebrate! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ===== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 That is great! I am so happy for you and your son! I hope to see progress with my daughter like this. What fish oil brand are you using? I use Nordic Naturals Junior at present. Just wondering maybe some brands work better for some children.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Oh doing the happy dance for you!! I love it!! It totally reminds me of when my son started talking after fish oils. And when everyone started understanding him after 3 weeks on NV. It's so warm and fuzzy and you brought those feelings back for me. Enjoy them!! Liralen > > That is great!
