truehope bipolar disorder a new theory



Since 1996, scientific researchers and doctors in clinical practice have been studying the effects of EMPowerplus on mental disorders such as bipolar disorder. Results have been very encouraging and significant.

Dr. Bonnie Kaplan, a respected behavioral research scientist and one of the principal researchers on several of the published studies says, “If substantiated in controlled trials, the normalization of the mentally ill via nutrient supplementation would be the most significant breakthrough in the field of mental illness since the beginning of time.”

Additional studies by qualified researchers are currently underway, with others in the planning stages.
