If you’ve been following Truehope for awhile, you’re probably aware of the nearly 4 dozen videos on our website of success stories from our participants. Every once in a while, we get a comment on YouTube from someone who accuses us of hiring actors for the videos. We don’t, of course, but that sentiment never seems to quite die out.
Just last week, someone posted on our Facebook page with an update on his nephew, who is a Truehope participant. It was so inspiring, we wanted to share it with you here, unedited:
Something amazing is happening in my nephew’s life!
For 11 years he was treated with antidepressants for 7 years, then a Bipolar 1 diagnosis was made shortly after starting on several prescriptions of stimulants. For almost 4 years his life was hell-on-earth – phasing rapidly, destructive explosive episodes, suicidal! A year ago when his psych passed away, he refused to take further drugs. Earlier this year a private brain mapping indicated an over-aroused CNS & frontal cortex, which we believe is the result of a serious head impact bike accident at age 13. My nephew started using EMpower Plus and the Amino Acid supplements in June. In early Sept. we noticed that he was no longer “crashing”! During the past 2 months, he hasn’t had one episode of explosive anger and frustration, nor suicidal ideation, even though there were plenty of frustrating incidents that could have triggered another episode. For the first time in many years he can participate in normal family conversation and enjoy the chitchat. For the first time in his adult life (he’s 30) he is able to join in a table game – even one that involves some strategy.
Sadly, he has never had therapy or coaching to help him cope with his short term memory and executive functions problems, but his improvement seems truly miraculous – we thank our Creator God and we thank you, True Hope for making this miracle possible!
