Annie:
The bottom line is, "True Hope" promote the idea of dumping medication use in favour of this vitamin/mineral/herbal combination. They talk explicitly on their website about the process. A landmark legal precedent was set when Thomas Szaz told one of his patients to stop his medications, and the guy ended up hanging himself with battery cables. Szaz was found guilty of a number of charges, including incompetence, failure to provide necessary medical treatment, and numerous other charges.
If you are truly interested in the value of dietary supplements, I would encourage you *not* to be spreading the word of "True Hope" (who really offer nothing unique. you can get this stuff in any health food store.), and post about the general benefits, using scientific studies, on any of the ingredients in the supplements.
As you have read, many on here are quite open-minded to using supplements in their diets. Sometimes, they do provide help as a compliment to the medications we are taking.

This last assault was, I believe, at least the 3rd time I have seen them in here. I have been told that they do this on other sites, as well. As well as personally not liking their product, I do not like their methods of advertising. But, what can one do ..... hmmmm ..... what can one do.
