In reply to Truehope.com's Empower Experience - Who's tried?, posted by AJULIAGULIA on January 20, 2004, at 20:54:02
I am sure they would only give you phone numbers of people who had success with it.
I believe there was a discussion of EMPOWER on Psycho-Babble and there might have been one on Alternative. You might have to do a search if no one responds.
I used to be on an MSN group and one person had great success on it. Here is the URL to the group. Maybe you could join and read the NATURAL THERAPY section because that is where she discussed it.

I have talked with these people and was impressed with their results. Having said that, one of the people I spoke with was the True Hope founder's wife so I would imagine that she and the others I spoke with might be biased.

> I have also read articles on healthwatcher.net, www.pigpills.com, www.mcmanweb.com and other web sites discussing the pros and cons of the supplement and whatever "research" has actually been conducted on the Empower supplement. I also saw a book on Amazon.com called "Too Good to be True? Nutrients Quiet the Unquiet Brain: A Four Generation Bipolar Odyssey" by David Moyer. It's about one therapists positive experience in treating his bipolar son with Empower. But again, he was a friend of True Hope's founder.
