How a Harvard psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist changed his mind about EMPowerplus

The following account of Dr. Charles Popper’s initial experience with EMPowerplus is taken from testimony he gave as an expert witness in Truehope’s 2006 court victory over Health Canada. He testified that up to that time, he had assisted 100–150 of his own patients and consulted with other doctors on 300–500 more patients in the use of EMPowerplus.

Dr. Popper has been using EMPowerplus in his private practice since 2000, and he published a commentary on EMPowerplus in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in 2001.

How did you first get involved or introduced to this supplement?

5 critical steps to take when transitioning to EMPowerplus

The benefit of using EMPowerplus is that it improves brain function and overall mental health by ensuring proper nutrition reaches your central nervous system.

Psychiatric medications should be gradually tapered off under the supervision of a doctor and the Truehope support team when using EMPowerplus.

Here are 5 key things to remember while transitioning to EMPowerplus:

Stabilizing your brain chemistry

Psychiatric drugs work by counteracting the symptoms of mental disorders. But EMPowerplus works by allowing the brain itself to fix the cause of the symptoms.

For example, drugs can apply the brakes when your mind is racing out of control. But it’s like having your feet on the brakes and the accelerator at the same time, which is not so great for the car.

Smoothing the transition from medication to EMPowerplus

Imagine that your mood is one end of a seesaw (or teeter-totter). Brain chemistry is like the person on the other end: it controls mood. The wrong brain chemistry can send your mood up or down violently, and it can be scary and hurt.

Seasonal affective disorder: what it is and what to do

The September equinox took place yesterday. In the northern hemisphere, this marks the first day of autumn. It also marks the day when the amount of daylight and the amount of darkness are equal. This means that starting today, there will be increasingly more darkness than daylight.

While many people are negatively affected by the reduction in daylight—making them feel gloomy—as much as 3% of the population has seasonal affective disorder.
