Success stories of Truehope Participants

“I have a hereditary disease Hematacrosis, in which my body produces excessive amounts of iron. This overabundance of iron will eventually overtax my liver and kidneys. A multi-vitamin has always been out of the question for me. (90% contain Iron and Vitamin C) I have now found a supplement that my body can tolerate and am starting to enjoy the physical and mental well-being that they bring.”
-Catherine L.


“Several years ago, [my husband] and I attended an information session about the Truehope product. They had many studies to show the effectiveness of this supplement on people with various types of mental illness. We made the decision to try to afford the high cost of this supplement because it made sense to us that this might be the answer for him. The weekly counseling from the program allowed [my husband] to safely reduce the pharmaceutical drug he was on and get more fully on the supplement program. He made daily charts on his mental state, and was given excellent support. It has been more than a year and a half since he began the program. He is now depression free, and for more than a year now has been able to consider starting his own business, and embrace life with joy. I am ecstatic about the effects of this program.”
-Cathy G.


“My husband began taking E.M.Power Plus more than a year ago to give him emotional stability and relief from his bipolar affective disorder. He has improved enormously since taking these supplements and has had no negative side effects whatsoever. His improved stability then provided the framework within which he could deal effectively with psychological and behavioral problems that had also developed as a result of his disorder. He has turned his life around during this past year, and E.M. Powerplus continues to be essential to his well-being.”

“[My husband] was diagnosed with clinical depression and subsequently was put on a regiment of drugs. Prozac was the first drug…and that was the beginning of the long drawn out affair. Subsequently that didn’t work, so he was given Effexor. That on its own didn’t do the trick, so Wellbutrin was added. [My husband] still was not able to stay on an even keel, so Lithium was added to the mix. Because of some of the side effects from these meds, he was also given sleeping pills in order to give him some sleep."

"We decided to try the Truehope program and EMPowerplus in December of 2000. [My husband] went to his psychiatrist so he could have a doctor monitor his withdrawal off the drugs. This was not going to happen, so we made the decision to do it ourselves. It wasn’t until then that we found out the seriousness of the side effects of the meds he was on. It was a nightmare for the first two months of withdrawal. After more than 2 years of being off of these pills, the nightmare is still not completely over. [My husband] gets protracted withdrawal from these meds, and this could last for years to come."

"We are committed to stay the course. People that haven’t seen [my husband] for a year or two (or more) are shocked at the improvement in him. It’s made a lot of people happy to see him the way he is now. He’s able to go to work, and be happy and satisfied with what he’s done and accomplished. Above all, the glory must be given to God who made this available to us."
-Ed & Elaine A. 


“I am 47 years old and suffer from Bipolar disorder. I was an honors student and college grad, yet I’ve never been able to hold a job for any length of time, sometimes being unemployed for up to four years at a time. Finally diagnosed as Bipolar in 1999, I have not been a great candidate for antidepressants or lithium due to terrible side effects. My psychiatrist suggested that the next step was anti-seizure medication or electro-shock therapy, neither of which was very appealing to me." 

A friend found the Truehope website and suggested I give it a try. In desperation, I entered the Truehope program in June 2001, receiving counseling and support as I withdrew from my medications and increased the dosage of the Truehope vitamins, EMPowerplus. No adverse reactions, but more important, within two days, the depression that had been part of my life for the better part of twenty-five years lifted and has not returned. Any mania symptoms are easily controlled by a small increase in dosage, same as additional stress.

After a life of un- and under-employment, I am now able to hold a good job with a good salary and a chance for a full pension at age 65.”

My 31 year old daughter has a very rare medical diagnosis is whereby she has a mutation in her paternally inherited 15th chromosome. This was caused by an environmental situation. My husband worked with noxious chemicals at the time of her conception and in those days there were not the precautions that there are today in the workplace. She is somewhat Autistic and has had psychotic episodes, serious health problems and has lost most of her ability to communicate. EMPowerplus looked like a long shot. I was not looking for a cure, however, I was looking for something that may improve the quality of her life.

I was willing to investigate all of my options. Her psychiatrist, was open to a trial with EMPowerplus and was acquainted with the Calgary psychiatrist that was familiar with the product as noted in some of the documentary material.

Rochelle started taking EMPowerplus in December 2002 and she had benefited in a variety of ways. She is calmer, cognizant, and she has regained some of her ability to communicate coherently.

I am very grateful for Truehope and EMPowerplus and the changes that we have seen in Rochelle.

“It has now been five years since my hair first started falling out.  I was tired and irritated most of the time.  I had problems with relationships including my family and friends.  I was always tired at work and school, everything seemed like a chore.

When the doctors finally noticed my iron was low, my iron stores were 5.  I tried for the next 3.5 years taking iron as prescribed with only minimal improvements in the amplitudes of my moods and sluggishness.  My iron level only ever got to 21.

My mother found out about Truehope and I began the EMPowerplus supplement.  My iron stores have jumped to 60 the last time I checked.  I cannot explain how much better my life is.  I am actually happy.  My hair has not grown fully back but my energy level is normal, I have gotten back to my proper body size.  I am able to concentrate at work and maintain healthy relationships with my parents and boyfriend.

I wish others could have the chance to experience the benefits from EMPowerplus like I have.”

“Prior to Truehope our oldest son was prescribed antipsychotic medications for several years due to a genetic chemical imbalance which started in adolescent.  The medication stabilized him but the side effects left him severely disabled.  He lost his short-term memory, all his joints were painfully crippled, and he was sedated 24 hrs. a day and because his metabolism was suppressed he gained 70 lbs.  After a period of time the medication  would loose their effectiveness and the experiment to find another drug and the proper dosage would begin all over again.  In short his life was a living hell and the sickness drug side effects robbed him of his teen years.

Once he started taking EMPowerplus and his body was free of the addictive medication (yes these prescribed drugs are addictive) he felt like his life had been given back to him.  The 10 lbs. he had gained dropped off and he could participate in the physical exercise without his joints hurting, making for an overall healthier life.  Without the sedation and with the return of his short-term memory he could once again pursue an education and future career.  None of this would be possible if he remained on medication.  When our two remaining children also became ill with bipolar imbalance we knew immediately what to do and started them on the Truehope Program which enabled them to continue working in their vocations – one in pharmacy! 

In closing, I feel it is important to stress the effectiveness of the product.  We can immediately tell if any of our children haven’t taken their supplement with the manifestation of the illness – mainly depression and irrational thinking.  Within an hour of taking their supplements they are feeling and acting normal again.”

“My depression began to lift within two weeks of using EMPowerplus. Now, six months later I am symptom-free, and have been for quite some time. I never believed my life could ever be happy and meaningful again, but it is, thanks to EMPowerplus and Truehope.

My depression wasn’t just a case of ‘the blues’. I didn’t care about things that used to be important to me, my memory failed me constantly, I could not do my job, never wanted to leave my bed, anxiety set in and caused me to avoid things I now consider trivial…the list goes on. I tried treatment through a doctor. The first one handed me a prescription and mentioned I might go out for a coffee more with a friend. The second doctor tried to help with more drug therapy, but the side effects far outweighed the benefits, if any. On top of my depression I now was dealing with other symptoms like night sweats, surreal dreams, unbearable itching, incapacitating headaches…the list goes on. In the mean time I was expected to be a wife and mother and do my job-there is no stress or sick leave for a mother or for one who is self-employed. I had nowhere to turn. Then I read an article about EMPowerplus. It was my last hope, and thankfully I now can function normally again.”

“I have been diagnosed by psychiatrists as suffering from Bipolar Disorder and have been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for 10 years. I have attempted suicide on numerous occasions and undergone numerous treatments of ECT. I cannot recall the various drugs I have taken over that time period but they were numerous. I have been hospitalized for as many as four times a year. One hospital stay was in London Psychiatric for almost 6 months. I can assure you that nothing has helped.       

Approximately 2 years ago a friend introduced me to “EMPowerplus” and I have been taken this product faithfully from then until the present time. With the assistance of my family doctor I was weaned off the psychiatric drugs and now I am only taking the “EMP” mineral and vitamin supplements. I am no longer seeing a psychiatrist but only see my family doctor on occasion to be monitored. I now lead a close to normal life. No more suicide attempts. I can now enjoy my children and grandchildren.”
