Successful Treatment of Bipolar Disorder With a Nutritional Supplement: Ten Cases
Recent research on various nutrients has suggested that some mental illness might be ameliorated by supplementation. Much work has focused on essential fatty acids (1), although various minerals are also being studied (especially zinc). We are evaluating a broad-based nutritional supplement that contains primarily trace minerals, plus vitamins and amino acids.
Recent work has suggested that crops grown with western farming methods contain fewer of these essential nutrients than they did in years past (2) . Although we have been examining the effects of the supplement on a variety of psychiatric symptoms in both children and adults, it appears to be particularly promising for bipolar disorder in adults.
We will present an open case series of 10 male patients aged 20-46 years who thus far have taken the supplement for 1.5 - 6 months. Four were diagnosed with Bipolar I, four with Bipolar II, one with Bipolar Mixed, and one with Bipolar-NOS. In most cases, the supplement has entirely replaced psychoactive medications and the patients have remained well. Side effects (e.g., nausea) have been rare, minor, and transitory. In all cases, the patients have been evaluated periodically with the Hamilton-Depression Scale, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, and the Young Mania Rating Scale.
The change in mean scores for each scale from study entry to the time of the last visit are as follows: Ham-D (20.4 to 8.2), BPRS (37.3 to 9.9), YMRS (16.8 to 6.1), and OQ (75.2 to 48.2).
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the supplement for Bipolar I has been funded and began in July 2000.

Read Explaining …
Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness and chronic fatigue syndrome is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.

My wife has been on this supplement for about a year now, and it’s been working wonders for her. This supplement isn’t the only source for help for thos that are mentally ill and what something more natural, but it is a very good product.
Realistically, the majority of us do not get every single nutrient we need in our bodies. Most vitamins are synthetic and cheap, and do not get the results like this product. This product is more natural, and it works wonders.

My daughter has been using this for about six months. Within a month, we were having NO meltdowns at school, no more phone calls from the principal, and very few issues at school. She is better able to focus on her teacher, her psychologist. It’s made an amazing change in our lives.

There are cross-over symptoms between sleep disorder and bipolar.
Lack of sleep makes a person do questionable things, some of which are symptoms of bipolar.

regular sleep habits require discipline, and good sleep hygiene is written in the mainstream journals as a viable treatment strategy.
Avoiding caffeine, sugar, fasting, drugs, alcohol cigarettes aspartame also requires discipline and are important in all mental health treatment.
Discipline is always an important factor of changing habits to support positive change.

I am new to youtube and see an exciting way for me and my bipolar to get help and that is through the community of youtube. Dont get me wrong this will not be a thing where you can talk for hours about your certain evaluation it will be merley the way you reflect to others so that you may get honest opinions from people who want to help. I will start the New Bipolar Channel in 1 week to start things off and all comments and Ideas welcome. Please read next comment I am limited to so many Charact.

Yes you know how you feel but it is better for others to monitor your progress as a team effort. If in fact this does yeild results I will do this on a regular basis for anyone without bias or predjudice, it’s only fair. You see I noticed that when I went to a Phsyc with my wife I noticed the Phsyc would start asking her how I was well this got my attention. We can help eachother to get better how you ask please read next comment.

I have a case file dating back to when I was just 12 and I have seen many phsycs and clinics. I am not just doing this for the viewers but for myself and other suffers of this tormeant. and I think that this in itself could yield outstanding results maybe good maybe bad but non the less outstanding. You see what most bipolar people suffer from is not being able to see there selves day to day or should I say mood swing to mood swing so with that said please read next comment.

I am 33 years old and have suffered from bi-polar for 21 years. I can honestley tell you that this product will not help you and the reason I tell you this is because you can get a b-12 shot and it will make you feel better for a little while but wont fix the prob. This is just another way for pharmicuticles to make money just on the herbal side of the spectrum. I tell you what I have in mind to do to prove this. Please read next comment to find out.

This isn’t “herbal” it’s a combination of normal vitamins and minerals and fatty acids.
Nutrients that your body needs to function on only.
See my video “nutrition and mental health” to get a better idea on the effects of poor nutrition on mental health.

There’s nothing fishy about it. I use it and it works. I have NOTHING to do with TrueHope.
The only fishy thing about medicine is synthentic pharmaceutical drugs. Natural medicine has been around for thousands of years.
