Hello
fellow suffers. I have been wonderfully supported by friendly staff of
the very capable and caring people of the Truehope family. Some ten
years ago I suffered a minor stroke at my daughter's wedding, and
although I recovered consciousness after about ten minutes, my health
from then on slowly declined. Many days when I got out of bed I was
very unsteady and often had to lean on the wall on my way to the
kitchen for breakfast. I had to lie down for rest frequently, and my
local doctor said that I was suffering from depression and prescribed
as many as ten different anti-depressive prescription medications over
a period of five years.
Most
days I was able to feed our livestock on our retirement farm but I was
not very effective and wondered how I had managed to pursue my earlier
career of engineering pulp mills in many countries of the world for
many years with many foreign languages. A big mental challenge. It was
apparent, however, that the anti-depressive prescription drugs seemed
to be doing me more harm than good, and unfortunately my wife decided
that she had enough of my problems.
Sometimes
tears would be rolling down my cheeks, of which I was not aware, and
one day, my eldest son beat me very badly and I had to be taken to the
local hospital that night. I was released from hospital the same
night. My wife and son then laid criminal charges against me for
assault and I was taken back to hospital for a mental checkup. I was
released three days later after extensive testing and pronounced
perfectly sane. I was badly bruised. They were completely unmarked.
The police then picked me up from hospital and told me that I would be
put in jail unless I accepted charges of assault. Nine months later
there was a criminal trial and charges against me were thrown out of
court.
Fortunately
I had friends in Comox and they rented me a room for a while. There I
cared for a grandchild who was born blind. It convinced me my troubles
were nothing compared to those of this poor little girl. One day my
lawyer showed me an article in a daily newspaper which referred to the
treatment of depressive illnesses by Truehope.
What
a positive change to my life. I am now 73 years old. The support and
concern of staff has been exceptional and I now believe that the
poisonous drugs are slowly leaching from my body, all thanks to this
very fine nutrient, EMPowerplus. I do realize that if! over-exert
myself physically, (riding my road-bike too fast) will cause me
trouble. Many thanks to all the staff at Truehope. One day I hope to
come and meet you all.
