My child has recently started on this supplement. Does anyone else have any experience with it?

I'm sorry I have to personal experience with it. I did notice that Jeanie Wolfson has a link to a video about it at her It's not Mental blog: http://itsnotmental.blogspot.com/.

If it helps your child, please let us know. Or even if it doesn't help.

They have recently withdrawn off all psychiatric meds, costello. They've only been on using the True Hope supplements for a few weeks but so far, things are going okay. We have seen the occasional semi-flash of mania but it's never escalated beyond an early stage.

I have heard some positive results but I already know that just because something works well for one person, doesn't mean it will do the same for another. We are hopeful however. I remain concerned about the side-effects of the meds and would love to see my child manage med-free.

I'll certainly keep others posted. In the interim, that site does have links to a number of news reports and studies that have demonstrated this approach does seem to work well for some people.

Very exciting. I'll have a closer look at it.

You mean there`s a supplement that may help people with SZ!? Is it vitamins or a natural blend or what? My sz bf has been taken off meds by his doc since last year. I wonder if it would help him. What is this stuff suppose to do?
