I'm putting this on the faith board because it is more a matter of faith than scientific proof.
Getting through Christmas on EMPower+ was going to be my personal test of the nutrient. I couldn't tell that I was different this year, because I just felt normal, but I had others make comments like, "my mom is doing so much better this year since she has started taking those new pills. She put on 4 big family dinners in one week and every time I phone to offer help she has had it all under control. Every event has gone on smooth and they've all been great" "Christmas was wonderful this year" "I can tell you are doing much better, what's the difference?"
I felt stress one morning, and had fear that the next two family parties (Sat and Sunday's) weren't going to happen, but they did. My fear was not grounded in reality, it was grounded in past experience and fear itself.
When I go back and read my journals from the last few Christmasses, the years of being undiagnosed bipolar, to the year on Epival and Topomax, to the year on nothing again, and finally to EMPower, there's a HUGE difference.
My doctor has seen many patients who have tried it. It has helped some, not helped others, but he has not known it to hurt or cause harm to anyone.
I just have to accept it as an answer to prayer, an experiment on something that was literally placed in my lap free of charge to try. It felt right from day one. There has been flu and colds all around me. I've had energy. I still have a lot to do, but it's not bowling me over like it used to.
Does anyone care? Probably not, so I continue to write basically to myself here.
But, I LOVE the faith board. I hope I haven't killed it with my zeal.
