Joe's 3 weeks on NutriiVeda -
"It is 3 weeks tomorrow on NutriiVeda. 2 scoops (1 scoop twice a day) Drinks in 8 oz of milk. Changing pitch of talk If he asks something, he will ask in a normal tone of voice, if we say no, he will 'growl' talk (for lack of a better word) then he'll talk in a high pitch for the next sentence. This is again something that he has never done. He isn't monotone, just doesn't do this kind of 'silly-type' talk. He discovered static electricity today and was wildly amused. I got zapped quite a few times on my neck after he figured out that rubbing his slippers on the carpet made this zap, of course he was giggling and laughing about it.
Eye contact is GREAT
Pointing to items and trying to say every word adding the right amount of syllables has increased since last week. Usually he would point or say something, but he is doing them together. something completely new.
His fine motor skills have kept improving. His handwriting which has taken him in the past about a half an hour to complete, now takes 5 minutes and he brings it to me and smiles and shows me what he's done.
We went to the Pinewood Derby this past weekend and saw a person that always tries to talk to him, but he'd only say something if I said to, and he was trying to talk to her this time. I hadn't told her about the NutriiVeda and she volunteered to me how much more social and responsive he is than the last time she saw him (1 month ago-ish) Even my husband, skeptic extraordinaire, said today (which is why I'm writing this today) Joe seems so much more 'alert' and responding much better than he has in the past. He added that it might be a coincidence. LOL. but he didn't think so. Lisa, I knew you would appreciate that!”

Do any of you use NutriiVeda for your little ones (under 3)? -

"Our 24 month old has been on NV for just over a week now. We have seen some tremendous increases in his speech. He is attempting many more words and is now "singing" along to some songs. I was very worried about trying this with my son at first as well. I did have it approved by his Pediatrician and plan to take it to his Pediatric Neurologist on March 1st. I do have my degree in science and have asked many other scientists where I work what their thoughts were about the product. No one thought there would be any problems. I also tried the product before I gave it to my son. I started him with 1/3 of a scoop twice a day for a few days and then increased to 1/2 a scoop twice a day. I am thinking about waiting another week and then stopping the NV to see if there is any regression. Again, our son's only additional supplements are the ProEPA and ProEFA. I will keep you posted on any additional improvements!":

25 month old son on NutriiVeda update:
"Hello Everyone,
I wanted to give you all an update on my 25 month old son Diagnosed with CAS. My son started on the NN fish oils when he was 20 months old with a small surge in soft vowel production. (He previously had no words and made very few sound other than grunting and pointing.) He also started Speech therapy with a private speech therapist once a week at that time (because EI did not have a speech therapist available and still doesn't.) He began using "B," "M," and "P" consonants with soft vowels at around 23months but he had no words and was not mimicking any sounds. At 24 months he did start to pick up some animal sound approximations "ba and moo" and was able to say "moe" for more. We had his 6 month re-evaluation (through EI) in the middle of January. They evaluated his expressive language to be at 12 months and increased his therapy to twice a week. (He has no other delays.) He does have some hypotonia in his lower lip and tongue.
After careful consideration and the "OK" from his pediatrician, I started our 24 and ½ month old son on NutriiVeda on February 1st. It has been two weeks and we have seen him go from 1-2 word approximations to well over 50 word approximations! He will try to mimic anything I ask him too. He even has some two word approximations: "la oo" for love you! He can make all consonant sounds now except for "j, t, d, and s." I did not tell his speech therapist when I started him and she could not believe the difference!
She said he was mimicking and trying any word she asked! I can now get him to mimic whole sentences: I will say one word at a time and he will repeat it. He will say "I - wan - moe - ruck - pees" for I want more truck please. He has many more spontaneous approximations as well. He can even say some words spontaneously and perfectly: "pop, happy, me, my, mama, baby, go, up, yeah, wee, uh-oh" and I am sure there are a few more that I am not thinking of right now. He will even sing along with his new CD aimed at children with CAS "Drills on Wheels!" So it has been about a month now since he was evaluated to be 12 months expressively room for his evaluation. They determined that his expressive speech is now at a 21 month level! That means he went from a 12 month level to a 21 month level in less than a month (and two weeks on the NutriiVeda!) We were amazed and so was the group that evaluated him!
So, thank you Lisa for bringing this wonderful product to our group and I hope that all of you see as many great changes in your children as we have seen in the last few weeks!"
Sincerely,
Katie

Introducing my son Matt and an update/report on NutriiVeda -
"Hi everyone,
I would report on Matt's progress.
First, let me introduce you all to my son. My son is currently 9 years old. He was born with a heart defect for which he had surgery when he was 4 months old. He has a laundry list of challenges - but one of his major stumbling block has been his global apraxia - which diagnosis he received at 2 years old.
In searching for answers to that piece of my son's puzzle, I found this group. My son responded well to the fish oil - although not as some of the kids did. Perhaps his brain injury slow down his surges. But any positive result was incredible to see.
When I spoke to Lisa last night, we had not yet seen any changes in Matt, although he did like his chocolate shakes (LOL - he can't believe we are giving him a dessert with breakfast).
This morning my son was spinning/twirling in the living room while his breakfast was being prepared. Spinning is a normal activity for my son. He has sensory issues - and something about spinning calms him down. At one point, one of his OTs let him spin for as long as he wanted to (usually we all limit it - as he is tuning out the world while spinning). He spun for 15 minutes straight without a pause.[image: boy handstand red shirt] When he finished she asked him how he felt. He grinned and said good.
This morning as he sat at the table he told my husband that he was dizzy. DIZZY!!!
My son has NEVER been dizzy. This may not seem big to most people, but it is incredible to us.
We are using 2 scoops in a morning shake (he has been drinking part of it for breakfast and the rest later in the day). The first few days he didn't finish his shake until bedtime. Both mornings following he woke up having soaked his bed. So we are now making sure that he finishes his shake by the afternoon. This morning he once again woke up dry. Sleeping through the night dry is a work in progress for my son.
To reduce the problem with the extra liquids in Matt's diet, Lisa recommended also trying it in yogurt or pudding - which we'll try - although Matt might miss his breakfast dessert! l'll keep everyone posted on Matt's progress."

NutriiVeda Before/After Video
"About 1 week ago I posted the following note about my son's 2 week experience with NutriiVeda and promised to post before/after footage. I've added it to my personal family blog and wanted to let you all know in case you'd like to check it out.
http://vraciufamily.blogspot.com - video was posted Feb 23, 2010 in case you need to go to archives (eventually).
The first post was taken Jan 25, the day before we started NutriiVeda. The 2nd post was taken about 2.5 weeks later. I'm not sure you can see drastic results in his articulation, but per my prior post, we've seen wonderful results all around - mostly in verbal complexity and temperament. We think at the least the NutriiVeda has allowed Ryan to feel better. Considering he's sleeping through the night better, not constipated any more (1st time in a year!), able to convey more complex thoughts and itching less (no more eczema!) I'd be in a better mood too!"
