Re: Question on NV & Water

[Guest guest]

Not sure if I can answer your question. Just wanted to say we were giving our

son extra liquid when he started on NV but he wet his pants and his bed so much

that we've cut waaay back now. He drinks a normal amount of water plus the two

" milkshakes " he gets with NV. It just doesn't work for me to increase his fluid

intake!

regards to fluid intake while using NV. I had a question {Silly} but want to

confirm. I saw it says it is .6 the childs body weight. Just to confirm, so if a

normal day is 8/8oz glasses and the child weighs 40lbs. it would be the already

64oz + 40lb x 0.6=24oz. So in total in a day between foods {that have water} and

fluids the ideal amount would be 88oz? Sorry to sound silly and ask, I am just

making myself nuts trying to do everything perfectly.Plus I would like to start

on NV as well and I am already bad at drinking enough fluids in a day. Thank you

so much!!!!

I think the 8/8z of water a day is for adults. The .6 times body weight isn't

on top of the 80 oz recommended; it is instead of it. so she would need

..6x40=24. Is that right? You can drink too much water and it flushes out salts

and electrolytes. My son is 26 lbs so I've only been trying to get 16 oz in him

a day on top of NV. Should it be more? It's a bit of a struggle to get him to

drink at all, and he was a champion NV drinker who now refuses it--even in ice

cream

I have to dilute it quite a bit with juice.

Am I not giving my son enough water?

I found information for those taking whey protein. Hydration is important as

again it greatly and naturally raises the glutathione which doesn't just

naturally rid the body of excess heavy metals but that's part. Nutriiveda as a

product was formulated to rid the body of excess ama- that's the garbage,

plaque, undigested food, waste -yucky stuff that your body doesn't need. Here's

a link to how for example the turmeric which is found in nutriiveda and turmeric

naturally contains curcumin gets rid of plaque in the brain for those with

Alzheimer's. Many sources of credible information but just pulled this one-

anyone can find many clinical studies now on this:

" Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the buildup of amyloid protein

``plaques'' within the brain. In studies in rats, curcumin ``not only reduces

the amyloid, but also reduces the (brain's) response to the amyloid,'' according

to researcher Dr. Sally Frautschy of the University of California, Los Angeles.

May also want to read up here on the importance of glutathione

" The antioxidant glutathione—critical for the body to excrete metals—plays a

role, too. Glutathione typically works by binding to heavy metals, which the

body then knows to eliminate. In 2004, researcher Jill , Ph.D., of the

Arkansas School of Medicine, led a pioneering study that showed autistic kids

had significantly less glutathione than typical kids—which put their bodies in a

state of " constant oxidative stress. " In other words, autistic kids were

genetically predisposed to have low glutathione levels, making them particularly

susceptible to heavy metal toxicity. That toxicity—whether in the form of

vaccines, fish, dental amalgams, air pollution, tainted water or other

environmental toxins—might provide the " toxic tipping point " to render a child

autistic… "

As far as liquid you want to use common sense as well as suggestions. I had

read to take body weight X .6 for a rough estimate. Keep in mind there is

liquid even in crackers- so it's just a guideline. Also if a child wets himself

and his bed that could be a sign of too much liquid- or could just be a sign

that he needs to go potty more -and perhaps shouldn't drink as much late in the

day. But for sure yes you want to make sure there is enough hydration -a bit of

pee vs what gains we are seeing -that is what is more important. You again

don't want too much water either- too much of anything is bad -but again you

want to use common sense. Perhaps share with your child's doctor if you can't

decide what is right.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I will talk it over with the doctor but

also manage the fluid intake myself. i know that too much water can be toxic

itself. Thanks again I cant wait for my son to start so I can hopefulyl see

the excellent results everyone else is having!!!
