Welcome to another edition of Common Ground Online. Here's what's in this week's edition:
- Last Chance to Purchase "These Painted Wings"
- Truehope Conference Call Review
- EMPowerplus User Shares Truehope Experience
I want to take this chance and once again thank all of you who've purchased my book and sent so many wonderful and supportive comments. The response has truly been overwhelming.
 As I mentioned before, " These Painted Wings" is going out of print but will be re-released in Canada by HarperCollins under a new name and cover in the fall of 2007. A date for release in the United States has not yet been set.
Around 250 copies of the Special Edition (with photos) are left and can be purchased through my website for U.S. $14.95 plus shipping at www.ThesePaintedWings.com. However, to comply with requests from the publisher, no copies of the current edition will be sold after February 28th.
"These Painted Wings" is my story about life with my family and the excruciating pain of watching my mother slip into severe mental illness and then commit suicide - the very suicide that ultimately led to the Truehope discovery.
It is the story of how I also became severely bipolar and was on the path to suicide until my Dad saved my life with his vitamin and mineral concoction now known as EMPowerplus.
"These Painted Wings" is a book of hope. You'll want to share it with all of your family and friends to increase their understanding, offer hope, and the knowledge that no one is beyond help.
Thank you so much for your support!

TOPIC: Common Questions and Straight Answers
Truehope co-founders Tony Stephan and David Hardy tackled some of the most commonly asked questions in this month’s conference call held on February 1st.
If you are new to the program, we encourage you to listen to this call. Especially if you’ve ever questioned what makes EMPowerplus so special compared to other vitamin and mineral supplements. For example, you’ll learn about chelation and what that process does for EMPowerplus to make it more effective. You’ll also get solid answers to these questions:
- What makes EMPowerplus different from other multi-vitamin products?
- Why do I have to take so many capsules?
- Why is EMPowerplus so expensive?
- What is the current status of EMPowerplus research?
- How/why does EMPowerplus work?
- When can I expect to see results?
- Why are there complications when taking EMPowerplus with psychiatric medications?
- Why doesn't my doctor know about EMPowerplus?
Don't miss the opportunity to listen to Tony and David explain the answers to each one of these questions. Our goal is to help you learn and understand the EMPowerplus program and why and how it works. What better way to learn than to hear it from the two men who started it all? Take some time now to listen to the call or download and read the transcript.
Over the years, we have received hundreds of letters from Truehope Participants who share their story of recovery with EMPowerplus. We recognize that it's not easy for many of our successful participants to share their personal story, so we are grateful to those who have.
We will continue to publish these stories on a regular basis as a source of inspiration and support for all our participants. The following participant has given us permission to share her story.
This is Dawn's experience as told in her own words:
"I am thirty-eight. There is no point that I remember it beginning. It was always there, and I knew others didn't have it. I was strong, intense, animated. At times, I was energetic. At times, I was empty. There were these times of violent outbursts, and yet always wanting to connect, to feel acceptance. The worst times came from nowhere and were relentless-"kill yourself". It could happen while washing the dishes, driving a car, listening to someone talk. I got used to this way of life. I had one suicide attempt as a teenager, but since that point I just lived with it.
"When I married I found someone I connected with - someone who we later found out was bipolar. We had two children, who were also severe bipolar. My life was chaos. I was falling apart, chipping away, and I was afraid that one day I might not be able to talk the voices back. I went on medication. It became workable. The voices were still there. My life was still chaos, but I had some control. I lived just this side of oblivion.
"Then one day a friend, who had bipolar children, told me about EMPowerplus. I was skeptical. I had tried everything. I had always taken vitamins. How could this work? Trust me. It did, and fast. The process of coming off the medicine and relying solely on EMPowerplus, for me, was fast and hard. The support team was fantastic. The charts were pure genius. They allowed the support team to recognize things I may have missed. They guided and informed me, every step of the way, as to how to find mental wellness. I guess one of the first things I noticed is that I drove to a big city on the interstate - something I do not do. I was calm. My heart was not racing. I then noticed how much calmer I was becoming. I was not worrying. Then one day, I realized the voices were gone. They were really gone. After a lifetime of battering me, they were not there.
"The way I look at the future is different, brighter, and more hopeful. I am eternally grateful to the wonderful people that have dedicated their lives to giving back our lives to us. Thank you!"
