The Story of True Hope for Mental Illness
My name is Tony Stephan, and this is the story
of how my family overcame mental illness, after devastating loss.
In 1994 I had been married to my beloved wife Debbie for 23 years. During that time, we lost her father to suicide. He had struggled with severe depression, and in 1978, fatally overdosed on medications to escape his suffering. Then, sixteen years later, my beloved wife Debbie succumbed to the same fate . . . suicide.
Debbie had been diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder 1 with Rapid Cycling. One day she simply ended it. The pain was unbearable. It was like somebody took a chalkboard eraser and wiped out the most precious part of my life.
It got worse. My son Joseph, fifteen years old, and his older sister, Autumn, were diagnosed with the same
illness. Joseph was getting more violent and dangerous. He was on 750 to 900 milligrams of Lithium or Carbo-lith per day, and he was just a lost soul.
There was one bright spot in this period, as I was blessed with a wonderful and supportive new wife, Barbara. Barbara sought assistance for Joseph from a noted psychiatrist. We went and met, praying for answers and hope. Instead the Doctor became upset with me and asked Barbara to take Joseph out in the waiting room. When the door closed it was like a shotgun going off in my face. This noted psychiatrist said, "Mr. Stephan you need a reality check. Don't you see it? What you see is what you've got. He's not going to get better."
My daughter, Autumn, was in and out of the psychiatric ward constantly. Drugs didn't work. Autumn was on five psychiatric med: Haldol, Rivotril, Epival, Ativan and Cogentin; and she was out of control: suicidal one minute, explosive the next - unable to care for herself... or her family.
WAS THERE REALLY AN ANSWER OUT THERE?
I started to pray. I started to fast. I started to search. I started to ask everyone, "Do you know anything about bipolar?" There just had to be an answer... somewhere!
One day it came. I was talking to a friend I was working with, and telling him about how bad it was in our family with Joseph's and Autumn's illnesses. He said that he didn't understand mental conditions, but he explained to me that he had spent twenty years in the agricultural industry. He said, "You know, I looked after hundreds of thousands of animals, and we used to see this in the hog pens... these animals would have this disorder, sometimes, called Ear-and Tail-Biting Syndrome. These animals would often become aggressive and hyper-irritable." My thoughts turned to Joseph and his violent rages.
As my friend told me how the animals become extremely irritable and enraged, and about the explosive behavior, he said, "You know, we learned very quickly from the agricultural literature, the scientific literature, that you could nutrate away the disorder with good nutrition." In that instant I had an epiphany. A burden was lifted and a sense of peace and light enveloped by mind. I knew that God has just given me the answer: Nutrition!
On January 17, 1996, almost two years to the day that my wife had committed suicide, we moved forward and starting loading micronutrients into Joseph. Within thirty days, my son no longer exhibited any symptoms whatsoever of bipolar disorder. It was gone!
I remember sitting on the couch with him after six weeks and him saying to me, "Dad! Dad! ... Where was I? What happened to me? Why was I so angry? Why was I so violent?" And I said, "Joe, it doesn't matter. That was another day. It wasn't you. It was the disorder." There wasn't anything that we could do alone to correct the disorder; but the answer came, and I've never looked back -- and neither has Joseph.
My daughter Autumn was next. Her husband had to work a graveyard shift so he dropped Autumn off at our home for a week as she could not be left alone. It was then that I placed her on the same nutrient program as Joseph. Within a few days she became calm... with dramatically fewer mood swings. She was able to care for herself and her young son.
Within 45 days she was clear of all of her five medications.
Both Autumn and Joseph have been well (as of 2013) for over eighteen years.
Autumn has written a best seller titled, A Promise of Hope, published in 2007 by Harper Collins and available on Amazon.com.
When Autumn and Joseph were made well, many people in the community started to come for help with their loved ones. After they tried the program and experienced the same results as my children, we started working with university researchers like world-renowned behavioral research scientist from the University of Calgary, Dr. Bonnie J. Kaplan. Dr. Kaplan's research was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in 2001, which is the largest psychiatric journal in the world. Soon there were other research studies and publications. The University of Calgary, Harvard University, Ohio State University - Department of Psychiatry, The University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and many others. There are now over 40 researchers from 15 Universities and 23 medical Journal publications who have studied its effects on disorders like:
- ADHD
- Autism
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Bipolar affective disorder
- PTSD
- Addiction
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Depression
It's about restoration. It's about hope...healing...and health.
Millions of bottles have been shared and over 100,000 souls have said, "Thank you" for this product.
I don't know if it will work for you or your loved ones, but it might... that is my true hope.

Incredible Help for Bipolar, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, OCD,.. and other Brain Disorders
Let me tell you about what I learned after I wrote my book, Healing Arts- A Gift from God. I read a remarkable book about another daughter who had bipolar. It reminded me at times of our own experiences. That book is a great gift to the world! In it Autumn tells about her dedicated father in Canada who found a radically different approach to bipolar THAT WORKED! Autumn didn't believe it could work at first . . . but it did because the Lord was behind its inception. God's fingerprints are all over this family's incredible story that includes fasting and prayer.
"A Promise of Hope is the story of Autumn's flight from madness to wellness and an astonishing scientific account of a treatment that has also helped thousands of others. It is a powerful call for a new understanding of mental illness, its causes and its treatments. ©2007 Autumn Stringham; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.

The formulation produced by Autumn's father and the man he was led to, David Hardy, has blessed over 90,000 people with a wide variety of mood disorders! My daughter is one of them. She had problems beyond post partum depression after the birth of each of her children.
My daughter used the same high dose vitamins and balanced minerals treatment as Autumn, called EMPowerplus.
The very first week on this formula my daughter experienced much less anxiety. Then she noticed she had way less negative intrusive thoughts. Under her doctor's care she was able to significantly lower her psychiatric medications, replacing them with Empowerplus. My daughter is thrilled to be doing something natural and without any of the prescriptions' side effects. My son has also been able to largely replace a prescription for sleep with Empowerplus. Both of my adult children are using Empowerplus Advanced.
My clients report: better sleep, much less anxiousness, less negative intrusive thoughts, and a whole lot less mind racing. They feel much less "down", far more joy - and even energy. This proper ratio of high dose vitamins and minerals certainly helped my daughter recover from postpartum depression (along with the emotional release work she did in energy healing).
EMPowerplus has been proven effective in usage and clinical research for depression, stress, ADHD, Anxiety, PTSD, Autism, Bipolar disorder, OCD, Rage, Brain Injury, Trauma, ODD, Addictive Behaviors, and early Alzheimer's and Dementia.
I sell this product here:
Harvard Psychiatrist Charles Popper, M.D. wrote in the afterword to Autumn Stringam’s book, A Promise of Hope:
“Autumn’s enthusiasm for her treatment is justified. By all accounts [it] changed her life more profoundly than conventional medications could. The success in her case is undeniable. And there are thousands more like her.. . . Controlled scientific studies are in the works [and] the initial findings are particularly challenging to physicians because they do not fit easily into current psychiatric knowledge or theory on bipolar disorder. For patients and physicians alike, it would be a mistake to off-handedly dismiss it.Charles Popper, M.D. Harvard Medical School Aug. 2007
I'm convinced that humble father, Tony Stephan, discovering a connection between micro-nutrient deficiency and mental health was much more than luck. In her book, Autumn wrote of her father speaking these words:
“We have won a new respect for the mentally ill. They are no longer hopeless if they find Truehope. They are no longer stigmatized if they go on to live a life like the one you are living now. . . . Liberty, Autumn, we won liberty for the captives! Are you trapped anymore? No. Are you afraid anymore? No."
[Then Autumn recounts] I can hear him pounding his steering wheel the way he used to thump the pulpit, before Mom died, before his life was changed forever. And it brings tears to my eyes. “We won a battle that we never even wanted to fight, and there has been a power behind this that goes way beyond our abilities... We won before the fight even started because this victory isn’t mine and it isn’t David’s. It’s an answer to prayer, Autumn. It’s a miracle. It’s a miracle. We have won the right for you to choose to be well, to help as many people as you want to, to help them find their way out of the darkness of mental illness. Autumn, Bonnie Kaplan said it years ago, and I believe it. This may be the most significant breakthrough in mental health since the beginning of time.” (Autumn Stringam, A Promise of Hope, 270)
Those words bring tears to my eyes, too. This is a breakthrough of epic proportion! The above words give me hope that someday, with the research getting to a mainstream audience, the stigma associated with so-called mental issues can vanish. This feeling is marked by Dr. Popper's words, "Make no mistake, this is an historically significant piece of work that is being done."

My family and clients are experiencing great differences now that we understand mental clarity, calmness and focus are related not only to what I wrote about in my book (spiritual, emotional and generational aspects) but also to overcoming micronutrient deficiency. What a paradigm shift!
To your health!

It is very interesting to me that scientist Dr. Yury Kronn says,
“The difference between the ability of mineralized and distilled waters to hold Subtle Energy patterns suggests that minerals are playing the role of "capacitors" or holders of Subtle Energy. It could very well be that minerals play the same role in the human body."(Dr. Yury Kronn, PhD; Dr. Jeffrey Marrongelle, DC, CCN; Robert C. Eanes; “Subtle Energy and Energy Medicine: New Paradigms, New Technologies, New Possibilities”; www.pureenergyrx.com; white paper)
