In 2008, researchers from the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation published an article in the Nutrition Journal entitled “Nutritional therapies for mental disorders”. In it, they outlined many of the connections between nutrition and mental health. Among these connections was the role amino acids can play in the occurrence and treatment of mood disorders.
Researchers recently published an article in International Journal of Science and Research that recommended these 5 natural ways for dealing with sleep disorders.
One of the most common themes among accusations made by those trying to detract from Truehope’s vision to restore and maintain mental and physical well-being is that we claim that our products are cures.
We’ve had people accuse us of claiming that EMPowerplus cures schizophrenia, that it cures bipolar, that it cures depression. We’ve even had people accuse us of claiming that it cures everything under the sun.
It’s important that we set the record straight.
Have you ever wondered what Truehope stands for? We try to make it clear, but sometimes our message doesn’t reach anyone.
If you follow the blog, you probably already know how and why Truehope started 16 years ago. You probably already know about the growing body of research showing the effectiveness of EMPowerplus. But do you know what motivates us here at Truehope?
It probably isn’t much of a surprise to most people to know that Truehope has some critics of EMPowerplus. These detractors criticize the work we do and label us quacks, snake oil sales persons, and scam artists. Some accuse us of being interested in only making money and that we oppose the work of mental health professionals.
I thought this might be a good time to briefly touch on our support program.
Well, actually, Truehope has two founders: Anthony Stephan and David Hardy. This is their story.
Anthony Stephan’s wife, Debora, had bipolar disorder and took her own life in January of 1994. Debbie’s father had done the same sixteen years earlier.
A year later, two of Anthony’s children were diagnosed with the most severe form of bipolar. Both had been given a variety of heavy medications, and they experienced serious side effects. Anthony was afraid he’d soon lose another loved one to the grip of bipolar disorder.

We had someone come to our blog last week after searching for the phrase “does truehope work”. I thought this would be a great topic for a blog post.
To start off, this question is fraught with uncertainty and apprehension. For the majority of people diagnosed with a mood disorder—such as depression, bipolar, anxiety, and so on—the only solution for managing the disorder is medication. This generally includes psychotropic and SSRI medication. They believe this is the only solution because it is ingrained into them early on and the media strengthens the connections between mental health and medication.
Update (13 June 2012): Our apologies, we just found out this event actually took place on 11 June. It is archived on the Holy Hormones Journal website however, so you can listen to it there.
Anthony Stephan, one of Truehope’s founders, will be interviewed on 14 June 2012. The interview will be broadcast live on Northern Colorado’s KRFC FM. The website will stream the interview live, as well.
Anthony will talk about the death of his wife,

What good can come of a suicide? None.
Even so, I wrote this article in honor of my mother and all of the good we have tried to create in the wake of her terrible death.

Did you know Debbie?
She was a dedicated mother and a loving wife. She was the kind who sang her heart out in the kitchen,
