Welcome to another edition of Common Ground Online. Here's what's in this week's edition:
- Overview of December Truehope Conference Call
- EMPowerplus Dosages for Children & Adults
- Truehope Wishes You a Merry Christmas
This month's conference call topic of "When to Use Other Supplements with EMPowerplus" was covered by Truehope co-founder Tony Stephan. Tony took the time to thoroughly explain what each additional Truehope product is used for and why.
There are specific conditions that sometimes require a little extra nutrition to help the body reach its healing potential and every nutritional product that Truehope carries was specifically selected to work in conjunction with EMPowerplus. These products include: Truehope EMPowerplus™ (powder formula), Truehope OLE™ (Olive Leaf Extract), Truehope Inositol™, Truehope BMD™ (Calcium supplement), Natural Factors® Phosphatidyl Choline, and Nature’s ThreeLac® Candida Defense.
Listen to this call to get answers to the following questions and more:
- If EMPowerplus is so complete, then why do I need to take additional products?
- What are the specific uses of each of these products and what are the benefits?
- How do these products work with EMPowerplus?
- How much do I take?
- How long do I need to take them?
- Other than the products that Truehope carries, are there any other nutritional products that are safe (or not safe) to take with EMPowerplus?
If you’ve taken some of our additional Truehope products in the past, or if it’s been recommended by our support staff that you try one, then don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Tony Stephan the proper and safe use of these products.

The question of how much EMPowerplus to take is a common one and the answer is not the same for all participants. The dosage for children and adults, for example, can be exactly the same.
The following information on EMPowerplus dosages was initially developed for doctors to help assist their patients on EMPowerplus. However, this information is useful whether or not your doctor is involved.
Children
Medication dosages are administered on the basis of body mass. In the world of
nutritional therapy, the thinking is different. A growing child often requires more nutrition than a mature adult. A child’s food intake can also exceed an adult’s. Supplementation, therefore, is based more on nutrient requirement than on body mass.
Another consideration for both children and adults is the state of bowel function. Any significant bowel dysfunction will impede nutrient uptake and potentially create nutrient insufficiencies. Such complications may demand additional time and dosage for recovery.
Adults
Adults do not require nutrition for growth, but still require a significant amount for cell replacement, and proper body function. As with children, if an adult is in a severely deficient state they will require a substantial dosage in order to make up the deficiency.
There are participants at both ends of the spectrum of response that may require a dosage more or considerably less than the suggested dosages in the following table. Some very sensitive adults have responded fully to as few as 5 capsules per day, even though most participants would show no response to that dosage. On the other end of the spectrum, some have increased intake of the capsules above the loading dose to see a response.
Starting the EMPowerplus Program
The following tables suggest the starting dosages recommended for all adults and for children ages six years and up. For children under six, an appropriate dose will be determined during the initial consultation with Truehope staff.
The following dosages may be reduced once wellness has been maintained for a period of time. How much to reduce and when depends on individual response to the supplements.

Important Notes
- Take capsules or powder with food, allowing the stomach to adjust to mineral intake. This practice will decrease potential nausea as it closely simulates the release of nutrients from your food. If nausea is experienced try immediately eating 3-4 soda crackers. If the crackers fail, lower your dosage/day and work up to a higher intake gradually.
- Ensure that dosages are separated throughout the day to obtain maximum effect.
- Be consistent every day and limit individual doses to a maximum of 5 capsules or 1 scoop. Taking more than this at one time will waste nutrients because absorption sites become flooded and excess minerals will pass through the digestive track unabsorbed.
- Some loosening of the stool is normal in the first few days. If such a condition persists or becomes watery diarrhea, then lower your dosage/day and work up to a higher intake gradually as with nausea. Diarrhea may still persist as an adverse reaction to medication. With such persistence one may try Kaopectate or consume an un-ripened green banana, peanut butter, or cheese on an empty stomach.
