Alternative therapies are out there for bipolar disorder!

Nothing worked.  David was nothing more than a zombie.  The doctors had him so drugged that he would sit for hours, days sometimes weeks and hardly move.   I was desperate to help him.  I researched books on depression.  Did internet searches looking for an alternative to the pills the doctor was giving him because he needed something that didn't cause him to feel worse and put him in a catatonic state.   A friend of mine told me someone she knew what working with Truehope.  She gave me their link.  The customer service department was amazing!  They told me to go to the vitamin store and purchase supplements that they suggested and didn't sell or some they did but showed me a cheaper route since my budget was low.  They called me once a week to see how I was doing.  I even talked to the owner from Canada.  He helped so much.  He even helped David get rid of Acid Reflux and Ulcers!

They are a nonprofit company.  The owners wife passed away from suicide, they had 10 kids and their children inherited bipolar ADHD.  The wifes father had passed due to suicide.  Check out their website at www.truehope.com and read about it.  He wanted to help their kids so that is what started truehope.

When we first got involved David was on a long miserable self detox.  He was getting off the oxycontin, oxycodone, methadone and xanex.  They told us to get Amino Acids 5000 mg (for detoxing), Inositol Powder 10K mg a day diluted in water,  Empower Plus, Omega 3 5000 mg a day.  This helped him a lot.   You would need to call and see what they prescribe for you specifically to your situation.  They even have a program if you need financial assistance.  I know we had our rough times and they helped us by sending free bottles of Empower Plus.  They were a godsend.  I added a youtube video below from someone who experienced relief from this program.
