Lithium: The Power to Change the Brain

 

“I’ve switched over to Life Choice Lithium brand with amazing results that is not only effective in stabilizing my mood, but it has eliminated inner tensions and anxieties that I’ve been plagued with for many years now.”

 

Lithium, a naturally occurring trace element found in most plants, animals, and the environment, has been used in psychiatry since the late 19th century and is best known today as a mood stabilizer for treating bipolar disorder. Beyond its psychiatric uses, research suggests lithium can protect the brain from injury and neurodegeneration, with animal studies indicating it may help limit key pathological processes associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

The organs and tissues in the human body also contain lithium. It can be found in food and water supplies: grains and vegetables serve as the primary sources of lithium in a standard diet, while eggs and milk provide further sources. It has been added to the World Health Organization’s list of nutritionally essential trace elements (with zinc, iodine etc.) The US Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that the daily lithium intake of an average adult ranges from about 0.65 mg to 3 mg which has a special importance in brain health.

Which form of lithium works?

In my naturopathic practice I used low dose (5 mg) of lithium bound to an orotate for treating my bipolar patients because when lithium is administered orally, it must be bound to the best transporter, in this case it would be to an orotate, to provide the best delivery to the cells without the need of a high lithium potency. When the delivery is in a homeopathic form, the most essential consideration is the element lithium and it makes no difference if it is bound to lithium orotate or lithium citrate. The binding component does not increase lithium’s potency since it is absorbed sublingually into the bloodstream bypassing the gut. Orally it must first go through the digestive process and nothing can deliver better than an orotate—that is why we bind orotates to our calcium and magnesium in Opti-Cal/Mag Complex.

Lithium in research

They are reporting that deposits of amyloid-β protein bind to lithium and sequester it, impeding its natural function in the brain. Neurologists emphasize that this drop in the metal levels affects all key brain cells. This also happens with the plaquing of the pineal gland. In the last 5 years, what added to the plaquing of our arteries, glands and on the human brain? Of course we know one of the main contributors was mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and amyloid-β spike protein-derived amyloid fibrils, which have the potential to inhibit fibrinolysis, contributing to the microclot formation observed in severe and long COVID-19.

According to the amyloid-β antimicrobial hypothesis, amyloid-β, the main substance in Alzheimer’s plaques, may form in response to microbes as part of the body’s natural immune defense. A new study[1] also supports this: researchers used recently obtained human retinal tissue and lab-grown retinal organoids with active neurons to explore the link between amyloid-β and infection. They found that SARS-CoV-2 triggered amyloid-β buildup in both retinal explants and organoids. Blocking a protein called neuropilin-1 reduced this buildup, suggesting that the virus’s Spike 1 protein can promote amyloid-β formation which is associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

Now scientists say it may be possible to protect the aging brain—a recent animal study stating lithium orotate in a low dose form may be able to prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is being reported everywhere. According to researchers at Harvard Medical School, “lithium (Li) deficiency gives rise to transcriptome changes in multiple brain cell types that overlap with transcriptome changes in AD. Replacement therapy with lithium orotate, which is a Li salt with reduced amyloid binding, prevents pathological changes and memory loss in AD mouse models and ageing wild-type mice. These findings reveal physiological effects of endogenous Li in the brain and indicate that disruption of Li homeostasis may be an early event in the pathogenesis of AD. Li replacement with amyloid-evading salts is a potential approach to the prevention and treatment of AD.”[2]

This is not the first study linking lithium to Alzheimer’s. A 2017 study in Texas concluded that “[t]race lithium in water is negatively linked with changes in AD mortality, as well as obesity and type 2 diabetes, which are important risk factors for AD.”[3] What is more, higher lithium levels in water have been linked to longer life expectancy and a reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases. A published study in the European Journal of Nutrition titled Low-dose lithium uptake promotes longevity in humans and metazoans shows that in humans there is “an inverse correlation between drinking water with lithium concentrations and all-cause mortality in 18 neighboring Japanese municipalities with a total of 1,206,174 individuals (B = -0.661.p =0.003).” The study also states that “exposure to a comparably low concentration of lithium chloride extends life span of C. elegans (p=0.047).”[4]

We know from research that Alzheimer’s disease has been linked to an excess accumulation of aluminum within brain cells. Besides the effects coming from having an excess of minerals, an insufficient amount of a trace mineral could also affect the brain. A study from 2019 published in Neuropsychopharmacology[5] suggests that lithium may be useful for its anti-aging affects within the brain depending on genetics, indicating a potential use of polygenic risk scoring for the prediction of adult telomere length. Other case studies indicate that lithium orotate could be helpful in treating depression, rage and anxiety.

Here is one of the testimonials on Lithium Homeopathic:

“I’d like to thank you dearly for leading me to a natural solution to help me treat my bipolar/ADHD diagnosis by suggesting me to utilize the homeopathic remedy of Life Choice Lithium. Since I’ve been off of all pharma now for over a week, I’ve switched over to Life Choice Lithium brand with amazing results that is not only effective in stabilizing my mood, but it has eliminated inner tensions and anxieties that I’ve been plagued with for many years now.

The added bonus is that I have zero side effects that I was riddled with when I was saturated with pharmaceuticals. My stuttering has diminished; I don’t loop mentally and repeat the same thing over and over anymore. I am very calm and present in the moment without worrying about tomorrow nor am I in anxiety of my past actions. This is the clearest I’ve ever been in my life and I’d really like for you to know the freedom I now have because of this new natural solution that you lead me towards.

I definitely will be sharing this brand with people I know with the same diagnosis that I have. The funny thing now is that I feel I have been freed of this label of bipolar/ADHD as I can now live my life as I know life should be lived. Thank you so much for caring about me and to have such wonderful products at your disposal, I really appreciate your heart.

Sincerely, your friend, Angelo B.”
