Vitamins successfully treated my Bipolar Disorder & enabled me to have a baby.

I am writing about my experience with vitamin therapy of Bipolar Disorder in case anyone wants to give it a try but needs to learn about others with success. It has been 23 months since I last took any medication for my Bipolar Disorder. Medication effectively treated my Bipolar Disorder but had side effects (like weight gain) and could not be taken while pregnant. I've wanted to be a mother all my life but had the hardest time finding a way to carry out a pregnancy and not have a serious manic or depressive episode. The manic episodes I've had in the past have landed me in psychiatric hospitals on numerous occasions because of my delusions of grandeur, racing thoughts, and complete breaks with reality. I was aware that a manic episode could result in the loss of my baby. Long story short: I read an article about Margot Kidder's success with Dr. Abram Hoffer and Orthomolecular medicine (which involved treating her disorder nutritionally". This led me to further explore alternative medicine and nutritional or vitamin treatments of bipolar Disorder. I learned about http://www.truehope.com but was a bit skeptical because I wasn't convinced by any of the studies done on vitamin treatment of bipolar disorder and had read some negative web sites about it. But on March 1st of 2004, I joyously discovered that I was pregnant but all of the medication options available to me would cause birth defects. I had contacted about half a dozen people who had tried Truehope.com's EmPower vitamins. Five out of six reported great success. I decided to give it a try but only under supervision. I hired an MFCC (licensed Marriage, Family, & Child Counselor) because I knew that she would be able to assist by informing me if she felt that a manic episode was on its way. I was not concerned about depression because I had already been addressing that concern via self-psychology (I have a lot of training in it). Bottom line, http://www.truehope.com vitamins are working for me. I have a healthy and happy 15 month old son. After giving birth, I had no post-partum depression or baby blues. I began taking True Hope's Empower vitamins in March of 2004 and have only experienced good health and a stable mood and mind ever since.
