EMPowerplus™ Q96 May Help Ease Substance Addiction, New Study Reports
New findings add to growing body of research on micronutrient supplement for brain health
Pleasant Grove, Utah—August 8, 2013—The micronutrient formula EMPowerplus Q96 may help ease
substance addiction, in addition to calming symptoms of depression, ADHD and anxiety, a new study
found.
The research, “Use of micronutrients attenuates cannabis and nicotine abuse as evidenced from a reversal
design: a case study,” was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Psychoactive Drugs (Volume 45,
April—June 2013). The entire study can be viewed here:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02791072.2013.785840.
“As part of a wider investigation of the impact of micronutrients (mostly vitamins and minerals) on
psychiatric symptoms, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, and anxiety,
we observed that many participants reduced or eliminated use of alcohol, cigarettes, and cannabis,” the
researchers noted in the study abstract.
The study details the results of a reverse on-off study with a 20-year-old male taking EMPowerplus over a
span of 15 months. The subject’s cannabis and nicotine use, in addition to depression, ADHD and anxiety
symptoms, reduced significantly with regular use of the supplement.
The researchers offer two possible explanations for the findings: “Micronutrients, by assisting with mood
regulation and reductions in anxiety, may assist with successful cessation of drug use. Alternatively, they
may directly impact the brain reward circuitry believed to be involved in the expression of addictions,
thereby providing the appropriate precursors and cofactors necessary for adequate neurotransmitter
synthesis.”
A second case study recently published in the Summer 2013 volume of Advances found that EMPowerplus
helped reduce ADHD symptoms in a 24-year old female subject. The effectiveness was diminished in the
presence of a Candida yeast infection, but returned following treatment, suggesting a connection between
brain health and nutrient absorption.
Both studies add to the growing body of research on EMPowerplus Q96, which now includes 22 published
studies conducted by researchers worldwide.
“These studies are exciting additions to the academic research on EMPowerplus Q96, and to brain and
mental health. They confirm that micronutrients can make a remarkable impact on the quality of life,”
said Anthony Stephan, the product’s formulator. “I am proud of my partnership with Q Sciences, which is
making this formula more accessible to people worldwide.”

Introduction
Perhaps nothing is more important to good health and more overlooked than sleep. According to sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus, sleep problems are the number one health complaint in doctors’ offices in the United States! An estimated 70 million Americans sleep poorly on a regular basis.
The myth of existing on only a few hours of sleep has been refuted by clinical science. Sleep study centers have established that interrupted sleep and poor sleep are the root causes for hundreds of clinical diagnosis include mental health and depression.
You’ve got better things to do than live on the brink of exhaustion because you can’t sleep. If you dig deep enough into sleep research like I have, you learn one thing you’ll never forget: don’t under estimate the value of quality sleep.
Poor sleep is linked to weight gain, Type II Diabetes, accelerated aging, PMS, peri-menopause and menopause symptoms, irritability, looking old, lack of motivation, poor productivity, increased automobile and other accidents.
Women are twice as likely as men are to have a sleep problem!
The good news is that you can solve your sleep problem and in the process dramatically improve the quality of your life. In this special report on sleep, I’ll teach you the breakthrough discoveries that guarantee you’ll fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling great.
There is one thing you have to understand before we go any further. Very few people are getting their sleep problem solved. They may get some relief but I don’t think you’re reading this because you want “less of a sleep problem.”
This report is about how to sleep perfect tonight and every night. Conventional wisdom on sleep problems has only taken us so far. The underlying cause of your sleep problem is being overlooked and you will soon discover that current “treatments” are not solutions. Naturopathy has taken a misguided approach as well by failing to address hormonal triggers for poor sleep. Natural “Band-Aids” are none-the-less “Band-Aids”
Doctors and sleep experts, for the most part, are happy to treat and “manage” your sleep problem. This is an option if you’re satisfied with putting bandages on symptoms. There is a better, safer, healthier way and you don’t need over-the-counter and prescription drugs to do it.
BILL TIP #1 Over the counter sleep aids are nothing more than Benadryl at twice to ten times the cost!
The more innovative sleep doctors will talk to you about your sleep hygiene. It’s defined as the “controlling of all behavioral and environmental factors that precede sleep or may interfere with sleep.” “Hygiene includes things like diet, exercise, developing a consistent sleep pattern, staying away from bright lights at night, changing your mattress or pillow, monitoring the temperature of your room and many other factors.
All of this can certainly be very helpful, especially when combined into a program. You can really make excellent progress, but you will soon see that even the best of measures only gives you “less of a sleep problem” while the underlying cause goes unchecked.
This special report is designed to give you much needed perspective on what’s causing your sleep problems and how to solve them quickly and permanently.
So here’s What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About How To Sleep Perfect Tonight…and exactly what you need to do to fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling great.
- The first thing your doctor isn’t telling you is your sleep problem is a cortisol problem!
I have performed women’s health seminars nationwide about how lifestyle problems lead to over-stimulating your stress hormones. Cortisol is the main stress hormone that’s intimately involved in the circadian rhythms of waking up and falling asleep. Under normal, healthy circumstances, cortisol rises in the morning to wake you up and drops at night so you can fall asleep.
You’ve heard the story of the mother who sees her child get pinned underneath a car and somehow finds the strength to lift the car off the child. That’s the work of stress hormones. Cortisol, along with adrenalin, gives your body that energy and super human strength.
BILL TIP #2 Stop working for the CIA! C=Cortisol, I=Insulin, A=Adrenalin
So let me ask you a question? What do you think your chances of falling asleep and staying asleep are if a hormone like cortisol is running loose in your system?
Cortisol is fantastic at waking you up in the morning and giving you sustained energy throughout the day. But in order for you to fall asleep, cortisol levels must be at their lowest just before sleep! Sleep problems are rampant in America because lifestyle problems have caused what’s known as an upside down cortisol rhythm.
This leads to what is called physiological and psychological arousal. Your body and mind desperately need deep, rejuvenating sleep, but the stimulating effect of cortisol keeps a part of your brain and nervous system on high alert.
It’s like being in a car and pushing down on the gas and the brake at the same time.
Poor diet, too much sugar and what I call “hurry and worry sickness” drive your cortisol levels up later in the day. It stays elevated in the evening when it’s supposed to be dropping.
You’re trying to get to sleep while the “super human strength” hormone is pulsing through your veins! Can you understand why sleeping pills have to be so dangerously strong and cause so many side effects?
Natural sleep aids with their “mild sedative effects” have only a remote possibility of working even if they did contain the active ingredients they are supposed to?
Here’s the valuable lesson I want you to come away with: You will never SOLVE your sleep problem unless you correct your upside down cortisol rhythm.
Whether you have a chronic sleep problem or just troubled sleep once in a while, your number one priority must be balancing your cortisol levels and reestablishing the proper rhythm. The big question is…how do you do that? Let’s find out!
- The second thing your doctors not telling you is sleeping pills make sleep problems worse!
When you have a chronic sleep problem it can be a pretty desperate situation. But relying on over the counter medication or prescription sleeping pills has short term and long term consequences you really need to consider.
According to Dr. Daniel Kripke, a Harvard trained medical doctor and a leading authority on sleeping pills, getting a prescription may be a real hazard. He states that sleeping pills can increase the risk of diseases including cancer and can lead to depression and shorten people’s lives.
Although sleep drugs usually “put you under,” don’t mistake that for getting a good night’s sleep. Sleeping pills may put you in an unconscious state, but can actually speed up your brainwaves. That prevents the deep levels of sleep you need to recover and wake up feeling rested.
Increased brainwaves combined with the powerful sedative effect of sleep drugs are the reason for waking up with the well-known “sleeping pill hangover.” Sleeping pills knock you out but you wake up feeling less than fresh and energized.
Sleeping pills also have a bad reputation for causing dependency. The longer you take them, the less effective they become. So you have to take more for the same effect and before long you’re caught in a vicious cycle of dependency.
BILL TIP #3 Sleeping pills DO affect natural biorhythms and brain chemistry. Ambien is actually “amnesic” in that you will remember little to nothing after taking it! Motor skills are severely impaired and metropolitan police have coined the phrase DWA or driving while on Ambien! The individual will forget something prior to bed, drive to the convenience store and end up backing into a gas pump as if they were stone drunk!
When you try to stop you get this nasty condition called “rebound insomnia.” If you think you had a sleep problem before you took the drugs wait until you have to battle rebound insomnia!
- The third thing your doctor isn’t telling you is natural sleep aids are notoriously ineffective
Most conventional doctors don’t study or understand natural sleep aids so they assume they can’t be as effective as the sleep drugs they are used to prescribing. We both know what happens when you assume.
We’ve all heard the recommendation to drink some chamomile tea before bed or try an herbal remedy like Valerian or Passion Flower. Although the idea is a good one, these plant remedies merely have what is known as a mild sedative effect. In other words, they gently make you sleepy.
Sleeping pill drugs have a very powerful sedative effect that puts you under…not dissimilar from anesthesia. But remember what our main problem is, an upside down cortisol rhythm. Think about what natural sleep aids or sleeping pills are attempting to do: trying to make you fall asleep…either by a natural and safe method of gently making you sleepy or by a drug effect with lots of risks that are knocking you out cold.
Both “treatment options” completely miss the underlying cause of your sleep problem.
It’s not about falling asleep; it’s about what is keeping you awake!
The reason natural sleep aids rarely if ever work is because their “mild sedative effect” will never counteract the powerful stimulating effects of cortisol.
So the truth is you need a safe and natural solution that helps balance your upside down cortisol rhythm. Any natural sleep aid that can lower your levels of cortisol at night is the only one that can SOLVE your sleep problem.
The Really Good News
A European company was researching medicinal plants for their effects on stress and in the process actually discovered what turned out to be the Holy Grail for sleep problems.
Not only did study participants experience significantly reduced effects of stress, they started sleeping better than ever before!
This company is one of the few research institutions in the world developing what are known as high quality full spectrum standardized extracts and studying their effects.
A full spectrum standardized extract is a giant leap forward in the world of natural medicines. Every medicinal plant has a “profile” of active ingredients. When all these active ingredients are given to a person in the right ratios and the correct dose the effects are far superior to giving just one active ingredient or a fraction of the correct dose.
BILL TIP #4 Watch out for “natural” products that simply take every natural product intended for the health problem and throw them into one blend. The label is impressive and the product comparison check list appears to be a winner. Many natural ingredients are NOT synergistic and “a whole lot of too little” NEVER works in natural medicine.
10 ingredients that individually are not in effective doses is simply a waste of money.
A full spectrum standardized extract contains the entire “profile” of active ingredients (full spectrum) in a consistent, optimal dose (standardized).
If fact, it’s astounding how much is required to create a high quality, therapeutic plant extract that contains the medicinal value you need. And even more surprising is how misleading and ineffective natural sleep aids, and almost all plant-based remedies can be.
Did you know the exact same species of medicinal plant grown in two different places can have enormous differences in the amounts of active ingredients? And other factors like the type of soil, weather patterns, the time of year you harvest, the altitude, ultra violet radiation from the sun and all the “survival stress” the plant has to endure…all of it determines the actual amount of “natural medicine” or active ingredients the plant contains. Prior to the development of full spectrum standardized extracts it was virtually impossible to get a consistent, reliable and effective product. So here’s the dirty little secret the supplement industry does not want you to know.
Not only do natural remedies for sleep rarely work because they miss the underlying cause of the problem, they rarely work because they don’t have the active ingredients necessary to get any kind of result in the first place.
With that said, we developed a natural sleep aid called SomniSure (it’s “Bill Approved”) with the help of the same European company that did the research on full spectrum standardized extracts. This type of high-level collaboration allowed us to create the most therapeutic and advanced product in the world.
SomniSure contains the one full spectrum standardized extract that showed the remarkable clinical results in reducing both the effects of stress and in falling and staying asleep. This remarkable extract is one of the few things on earth that can help restore and balance your upside cortisol rhythm.
SomniSure’s formula also contains full spectrum standardized extracts of Valerian root and Passion Flower because these two extracts are very effective provided you first fix the cortisol problem. SomniSure is the only product on earth that combines the therapeutic power of three full spectrum standardized extracts aimed at solving the underlying cause of your sleep problem.
Imagine what it will feel like to lay down to go to sleep and not have the “super human strength” hormone cortisol buzzing through your veins! You’ll fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up feeling refreshed. We all know sleep and quality of life run hand in hand and now you have a breakthrough solution that’s clinically proven to work.
Your symptoms tell a very important story. They determine whether you need the specific actions of our product SomniSure… or do you need to rehabilitate your hormonal system with additional Core Formulas.
Please review these symptoms carefully and choose the program that is right for you.
Choose SomniSure if you fit the following symptom profile:
– You have trouble falling asleep
– You fall asleep but can’t stay asleep
– You wake up too early in the morning
– Your mind will not stop processing thoughts
– Your body feels exhausted but part of your mind is wide awake
Consider the Core Formulas if the following symptoms also describe you:
Consider the Core Formulas if the following symptoms also describe you:
– You feel exhausted much of the time
– You feel moody and irritable much of the time
– You feel your sex drive is low
– You feel depressed
– You feel stressed out and overwhelmed
– You are pre-diabetic or have been diagnosed with type II diabetes
– You crave sugar or starches and feel addicted to them.
– You would consider yourself an emotional eater
– You have a problem with gaining stubborn weight (* See SlimActin for more details)
If you have one or more of these symptoms we highly recommend you take the Core Formulas for at least 90 days along with the SomniSure. This will help balance your upside cortisol rhythm that is the underlying cause of your sleep problem.

American Psychiatric Association to alter ADHD guidelines to further increase diagnosis rates
As bad as all this over-diagnosis is, the situation is only going to get worse once the newest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, also known as DSM-V, gets published. According to an analysis of the latest proposed changes to the manual, many more children will be falsely diagnosed as having ADHD due to the inclusion of excessively-liberal diagnosis criteria.
“These wording changes newly diagnose individuals who display symptoms of ADHD but continue to function acceptably in their daily lives,” reads an analysis of the proposed changes to DSM-V as published in the Journal of Learning Disabilities. Such changes include things like allowing ADHD symptoms to appear before age 12 rather than age seven in order to make a diagnosis; expanding the list of eligible symptoms considered to be indicative of ADHD; and changing the requirement that ADHD symptoms “impair” everyday activities to the much more inclusive word “impact.”

We need a model of mental illness that attends to the biological, to the psychological, and to the social. We need leaders who address the current unmet needs of patients- who are not so enchanted with utopian grand designs for the distant future that they lose interest in the urgent problems of the present.
DSM 5, the NIMH, and the BPS (British Psychiatric Society) have all gone far wrong and all for the very same reason- each has prematurely promised a grandiose paradigm shift when none is remotely possible. Paradigm shifts emerge from new scientific findings- not from bloviating statements, however well intended.
Patients and practitioners are the collateral damage of this ridiculous controversy. Patients who need help may well lose faith in a mental health establishment that seems so confused and is so confusing. Practitioners are generally humble and competent and deserve leaderships that are not so arrogant and bumbling.
It is past time to have just one thing in mind in preparing diagnostic manuals or statements about mental illness that will be widely disseminated. Will this help or hurt our patients’ access to quality care?
So my plea to the American Psychiatric Association, to the National Institute Of Mental Health, and to the British Psychological Society -spare us your empty promises of premature paradigm shifts and instead help us take better care of our patients.

The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) is here, and it’s dead on arrival. A few weeks ago, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) announced it will no longer fund research based on DSM symptom clusters — for the simple reason that the DSM is irrelevant to determining the cause and treatment of psychological problems. Here’s why:
A huge disconnect exists between DSM categories and treatment.
Some diagnoses have no viable treatments, some have the same treatment (for example, David Barlow’s unified treatment for emotional disorders), and some have multiple evidence-based treatments. If DSM diagnosis doesn’t inform treatment, what good is it? The answer is one, to facilitate the exchange of money between payers and providers, and two, to create silos for focused research. With the NIMH announcement, scratch number two.
The DSM is a topographical symptom map that doesn’t point to the actual causes — underlying mechanisms — that drive and maintain disorders.
These mechanisms, sometimes called trans-diagnostic factors and/or vulnerabilities, are how we now formulate and explain psychological pain. Trans-diagnostic factors like experiential avoidance, rumination or “stewing on it” and cognitive misappraisal, along with vulnerabilities like intolerance of uncertainty, hyper-arousal, and negative schemas create psychological disorders. Our treatments must be aimed at these causative mechanisms rather than outdated symptom clusters.
Dr. Insel, you’ve been quoted, and Dr. Lieberman did describe the DSM as sort of a dictionary. And you said that patients with mental disorders deserve better. What did you mean by that?
INSEL: That’s a way of saying that we now have a dictionary to describe the disorders, just as Jeff said, but what we’re really lacking is a deeper understanding and a way to do for people with mental disorders what we do typically for people with other medical problems, that is to have biomarkers, have predictors of who will respond best to which treatment, and have guides based on the biology of the illness that helps to tell us where the best treatments might come from in the future.
We’re missing all that. So when I say they deserve better, what I mean is we’ve got to do more than just produce a dictionary. We’ve got to actually produce an encyclopedia, something that has much deeper information so that we can provide much better interventions, and ultimately get much better outcomes.
FLATOW: Gary Greenberg, you’re most critical. The subtitle of your new book is “The DSM and the Unmaking of Psychiatry.” What is wrong with the DSM?
GREENBERG: Well, you know, the DSM is – reflects both the best and the worst about American psychiatry. It certainly represents a sincere effort to understand mental illness. And if all it were was an attempt to create good clinician communication, then we wouldn’t be sitting here and talking about it.
The problem with the DSM is that while psychiatrists would be quick to say it’s not really a bible in the sense that it shouldn’t be taken literally, it is a bible in the sense that it underlies psychiatry’s authority. And with the kind of problem that Dr. Insel just described, which is that it doesn’t go to the question of what actually mental illness is, and, in fact, its descriptions may not correspond or line up with whatever biochemical or genetic findings we come up.
What has happened is that psychiatry’s gone – been led down the path by the DSM into a situation in which its disorders are constructs. They aren’t real in the way that we generally expect diseases to be real. And this has – this is not just a philosophical problem. This is a real problem, because what happens is that research follows the DSM. And so doctors end up researching and scientists end up researching disorders that are, in some way, mythical.
So whatever uses the DSM…
FLATOW: Well, when you say mythical, and let me get into a couple of those. So you have schizophrenia or bipolar, or – you’re saying these are mythical?
GREENBERG: Well, in my book – I interviewed Dr. Insel for my book, and he’s a very forthright man, and he said look, this is a problem. Psychiatrists come to think that schizophrenia is real. But schizophrenia is not real in the sense, again, that we normally expect diseases to be real, as he just said, with biomarkers and so on.
What schizophrenia is is a label applied to a group of symptoms. But there may be many ways to get to those symptoms. And, in fact, to some extent, what we see is that the genetics especially, and with family history, show that a common genetic underpinning may lie underneath both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The most venerable distinction in the DSM is between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and yet it may be that they have a common pathway.
So the – it’s like, look, using the DSM to understand the terrain of mental illness is like using a map of the moon to get around Manhattan.

OK we clearly have a problem but not the solution?
The DSM fails to account for co-diagnosis or “multi-disorders”
If a loved one has obsessive-compulsive disorder, they’re likely to struggle with other anxiety disorders as well. Depression co-occurs with anxiety 60 percent of the time. All this is unexplained by the DSM. The only way to account for high rates of comorbidity or “co-diagnosis” is that many disorders are driven by the same underlying or Bill BIG word ….(trans-diagnostic) mechanisms. Rumination, or “stewing” for example, is a major driver for both depression and anxiety — that’s why they are so often seen together. Though rumination may focus on different things (e.g., personal failures in depression vs. future catastrophes in anxiety) it is a required target of treatment across both diagnoses.
In light of its failures, one might reasonably ask: why a new DSM? In truth, this fifth edition is just moving a few deck chairs on a sinking ship…..seriously! Dumping the multi-diagnosis system and Asperger’s disorder while adding binge eating, hoarding, and excoriation disorder (skin picking) has brought us no closer to a classification system that explains what’s wrong and guides evidence-based treatment decisions. Soon we’ll need to finish what the NIMH started — lower the lid, hammer it down, and bury the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

1. The NIMH has totally debunked the current Psychiatric system as a drug cartel. I have contacts at the companies that actually negotiate what drugs and rebates go to medical groups and insurance companies to prescribe psychiatric medications.
2. NEW Drugs have the highest rebates and programs to lower the cost to the patient BUT INCREASE THE VOLUME of prescriptions as a result. The math is extraordinary and works only if the rate of diagnosis increases over time. Please understand that blood pressure can only be measured and the medications for it can only be limited to improving it based on a few sources of the high blood pressure.
3. The percentage required to expand the drug market for ANY diagnosis radically is 100% or DOUBLE the base amount over a 10 year period. This ensures a robust “cartel” of new drug placement and rebate programs (YES when I worked in Medical Services we called it a $$kick-back and it was violative). The rate of increase for psychiatric diagnosis from DSM1 to DSM5 (the diagnostic “bible” used in psychiatry for the past 50 years is FIVE HUNDRED and FIFY PERCENT! No wonder Q96 is the answer for mood disorders and brain function. http://www.fixyourmood.com
