The Vancouver Sun has published a lengthy story on a company that has begun marketing a multivitamin treatment for bipolar or manic depression. The concoction is called EMPowerplus from Truehope. Interestingly, they supposedly hit upon the idea after making batches of special calming feed for trapped, aggressive pigs. After some success stories, including the involvement of a practising clinical psychiatrist, a six-year legal struggle with Health Canada ensued, but finally it looks like two official, certified double-blind studies are going to be conducted, one in Calgary and one in San Diego. Maybe the grandfather of megavitamin treatments Dr. Abram Hoffer will live long enough to see the revolution, after all.
