Google Truehope and see that they Health Canada has taken extensive action against them. There are also class action suits being started against them. There is a ton more going on. I was told about it and did some research and dropped them like a hot potato. Check it out and beware of rah rah. There are a million snake oil salesmen out there. Their interest is money not you.

Maybe I just went over the line trying to help... I am not even taking these, just looking to hear opinions from who knows more than me.

#3 uh, no...there's been a few people promoting this product in recent weeks a/unproven, where are the studies backing it? b/ there are lawsuits pending against this product!! c/ think it's irresponsible to promote a shady unproven product that is an 'alternative' to other meds, personally

Sophie, I think it was certainly something worth looking at, ie other medications that might help.

There's something on here that shows the things people take and the efficacy. It might be also worth looking at the depression community. Personally I take fish oil. I was thinking of taking calcium to protect my hypo/thyroid but it was suggested by my Pdoc I didn't (I was hypomanic at the time so wasn't really listening to him).

Just been reading online...people are charged US 1500 for 6 months..& it sounds as though a criminal investigation may be afoot- also people are coming off their meds to take it. I'm sorry, it smells funny to me. But good luck all you true believers x

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

    Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner.  I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings.  But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
