> Hi Deb--
I'm glad you've found some relief.
I want to clarify my statement and answer your question.
A poster on this forum claimed that the Truehope supplements were being tested at Harvard University.
Tho it sounded unlikely, I checked Harvard's Red Book -- it's on-line and details all current research
at Harvard and the investigators involved. There is no mention of Truehope. Yet to be doubly sure, I sent
a link to the thread here to the Harvard Office of Public Affairs.
No such research is on-going at Harvard and they were NOT pleased with the claims to the contrary. As I
write this, the matter is still in the hands of the Office of Public Affairs.The fact that you have found relief and Truehope's lack of scientific confirmation are not mutually exclusive.
I *do* object to any group, especially lay-people, who tell psychiatric patients to abruptly stop their meds: it
puts suffering people at risk of death.On a more personal level, I find the chart for Moms to track their autistic children's *progress* on the Truehope
stuff obscene. I nearly threw up when I saw it on the web site.I don't begrudge you your happiness but let's not pretend that there is an evidentiary basis for the Truehope supplements
at the present time.
I also cannot reconcile the dishonesty involved with a group who claims that they only want to help people.My opinion.
Be well,
S.
