Beginning at age 60, Mari’s mother battled with depression for the last ten years of her life. After witnessing her mother’s condition and how the antidepressants failed to correct it, Mari feared that she would experience her mother’s unfortunate circumstances someday.
Just after Mari turned 60, her fears began to unfold into reality. She became so depressed that she was unable to work for three months: she had difficulty functioning and couldn’t get out of bed or go out of the house.
She began taking medications, which allowed her to function better for a time. However, after several months, Mari started experiencing undesirable side effects. “I [couldn’t] feel, I [couldn’t] cry . . . such a part of my life [was] missing,” Mari recalls.
Because of the negative side effects Mari experienced on the medication, when she learned about Truehope EMPowerplus, a natural solution of physical and mental well-being, she decided to try it.
As Mari began tapering from her psychiatric medications and introducing EMPowerplus to her diet, she experienced extreme physical and emotional effects, which she attributed to EMPowerplus. She quit taking EMPowerplus after four months and returned to the medications.
Like her first experience with medications, Mari was able to function and do her job; however, she felt as though she had “no emotion” and “no life”.
She chose to try EMPowerplus again. Although she had difficulty coming off her medication (as a result of the drug’s post-withdrawal effects), she persisted and continued taking EMPowerplus.
Today, Mari says she can feel real emotions and experience joy.
