Book Description

Some children inherit "the family nose." Autumn Stringam and her brother Joseph inherited the family bipolar disorder, a severe mental illness that led to their mother's and grandfather's suicides. Autumn, at 22, was psychotic and in in a psychiatric hospital on suicide watch; Joseph, at 15, was prone to violent episodes so terrifying the family feared for their lives. But after they began taking a nutritional supplement developed by their father and based, incredibly, on a formula given to aggressive hogs--Autumn's and Joseph's symptoms disappeared. Today they both lead normal, productive lives.

A Promise of Hope is the personal story of Autumn Stringam's flight from madness to wellness, all due to the vitamin and mineral supplement that works on the premise that some forms of mental illness are caused by nutritional deficiencies. An honest book that exposes the hidden torment of bipolar disorder, it is the story of a daughter seeking to forgive her mother. A Promise of Hope is also an astonishing scientific account that moves from a kitchen table in Alberta to the treatment offices of a distinguished Harvard pshyciatrist and into the labs of a skeptical medial establishment. It climaxes in a bitter--but eventually triumphant--battles with Health Canada, in which the tiny supplement company is exonerated and praised for saving the lives of thousands of Canadians previously thought lost to mental illness. More than anything, A Promise of Hope is a powerful story and a call for a new understanding of the causes of mental illness and its treatments.



About the Author

Autumn Stringam is the second of nine children born to a mother who suffered from bipolar affective disorder; she developed the same illness. The story of her remarkable treatment was featured in a one-hour documentary titled Impossible Cure?, which aired across the U.S. and Canada on the Discovery Health Channel. A s a public speaker, author of mental health resources and political advocate for the mentally ill, she has spread the hope of recovery to thousands of other Canadians and a growing worldwide audience. Autumn Stringam lives in Coaldale, Alberta, with her husband and four children.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Touching, true, and refreshing......, Oct. 21 2007
Par Tara (Mississauga, ON Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
If I had been asked to read this book 10 years ago, I probably would have turned away and said no thanks, I'm not interested. A lot has happened in my family in the last 10 years that has made the words that Autumn Stringam used on the pages of her book reality for me. Reading this book was a "no-brainer". My cousin suffered with mental illness and I am sure that I have only heard a sprinkling of the stories. All I know is that as I was reading Autumn's book, the story became so very real for me. I understood what she was going through and I knew what was going to help her - this miraculous cure is just that...a miracle. Trust me, I wouldn't have believed it either if I hadn't of seen it with my own eyes help my cousin take back her life several years ago. The fact of the matter is that there will always be a number of non-believers out there, but if Autumn can touch one person's heart and make them understand and believe that there is hope for them, for a family member or a child...then her job has been done successfully. I am not an avid reader by any stretch of the imagination, yet I found it very difficult to put this book down. There is something about this book that catches you by the heart, pulls you in and won't let you go. It is touching, true, and refreshing. I loved reading it.

5.0étoiles sur 5 You know somebody who needs hope, Aoû 10 2007
Somebody in your family or circle of friends suffers from some form of mental illness, and this book is truly a book of hope. I read this story as the self-published These Painted Wings. I've seen the proof copy of the book to be released by HarperCollins in September. It's part coming of age, part courtroom thriller, part David vs Goliath.

After you shudder at being taken into the mind of a raving maniac side of bipolar disorder, your heart will sing at Autumn's glorious story of redemption. You'll wish her dad could be yours, that you could know her husband, that you could have her courage in taking on her own government, which acted as if it did not want her and thousands of other mental patients to recover -- and winning in court, fully vindicated by a Harvard Medical professor, university studies and the judge who ripped Canada's health agency.

Autumn will put a new face on mental illness and give hope to anybody who knows anybody afflicted. You'll want to share that face -- and hope -- with that friend or family member. Before you buy this book, stock up on tissue for the nose and eyes -- you'll need it -- and set aside some time for reading because once you begin, you won't put it down. I'd recommend putting some fast food aside for the kids because they'll be taking care of themselves until you're done with this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Must Read!, Sep 28 2007
As a psychology graduate I was absolutely moved by this personal story of living and dealing with bipolar disorder. The author pours her heart onto the pages and accounts in great detail her life story; the ups and downs, the struggles and the victories. It is a story of healing and hope for all of those who struggle or know someone who is struggling with a mental disorder. A must read for sure, I would definitely recommend purchasing it!
