The Women with Red Umbrellas

Welcome! This Home Page is being revised to offer better information with links

to Health Canada, Bipolar Support and a new FAQ page. Please watch for additions

to our site over the next few days.

 

The Red Umbrellas is a group of nine women who have come together from across

Canada to defend the right to access to Empowerplus and to demand that medical

research on Empowerplus be allowed to continue.

 

Empowerplus is a safe, cost-effective vitamin and mineral supplement that over

3,000 Canadians with bipolar affective disorder (manic depression) use to

successfully control their symptoms and lead normal lives. Many take the

supplement with the approval of their doctors and/or psychiatrists.

 

Health Canada desperately wants these 3,000 Canadians to stop taking the vitamin

and mineral supplement that they say has changed their lives, and go back to

psychotropic drugs. Health Canada is also desperate to stop medical research

into why Empowerplus works so well for bipolar – research that could help to

solve the mystery of what causes this devastating mental illness.

 

Why Health Canada would so vigorously attack a supplement and research, and give

reasons that are so easily refuted by Health Canada’s own research and previous

actions is incomprehensible to us.

 

Bipolar is a costly illness for our society. Costly in terms of precious health

care dollars, in terms of social services and in terms of human suffering.

 

Empowerplus has changed our own lives. We are dedicated to defending access to

it and defending the progress of important medical research.
