Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 According to Nieper's studies (he has probably done the most studies with the orotates) Lithium Orotate does not trigger the harmful side effects that normally occur with high doses of lithium acetate, carbonate, or citrate. Some practitioners (especially conventional medicine) discredit the work of Dr. Nieper (even though Dr. Nieper is an MD) and I think mainly this is because he was truly a man " before his time. " In using Lithium Orotate with clients, I have not any seen side effects that adjustment in dosage didn't relieve. And the side effects were nothing that would cause immediate alarm. Of course, anything can be toxic at some point---even water. Lithium Orotate allows a person to take it, with results, at much lower levels then the pharmaceutical Lithium. There have been times that I have taken much more than even the therapeutic dose and had no side effects at all. I am not recommending this at all, but only to say that I do have experience with using it myself. I think the " NO side effects " conveys that compared to the sometimes huge side-effects of pharmaceutical Lithium the side effects of Lithium Orotate would be on the very, very low end. There are always exceptions. Again, I have been using LO for 5 years and have not had anyone that could not tolerate it. I would highly recommend that people be under a healthcare professional while using Lithium. Were you using Lithium Orotate that is made according to Dr. Nieper's specifications? I believe that there are some that are manufacturing Lithium Orotate without using Dr. Nieper's specifications. And, of course, some people may not need lithium as their health concerns may involve other supplemental or dietary changes.

I've also seen figures of Lith Oro being 10x more active than Lith Carb in the same amounts. And if we look at the effective amounts of Lith Oro and Lith Carb used in bipolar, it would seem that Lith Oro is about 4-5x more active than Lith Carb. > When organic Lithium is > combined with Orotate, it is reported to be > many times more effective than > the chemical, inorganic Lithium and to have NO side effects. Any mineral is going to be toxic at some amount for the individual, so I question the claim of no side effects especially since I experienced several with Lith Oro at 10-15 mg. for a few days.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Just took a quick look at VRP Lithium Orotate and it doesn't look like they are using Nieper's formula. He required a food glaze coating on the orotate products in order to make it through the acids of the stomach. This is very necessary. And the fact that it is in a capsule tells me that, depending upon the acidity of one's stomach (which varies in every person according to age, health concerns, etc.) will probably not completely make it to the duodenum. Yes, it should the amount should be determined as to what the health concern is. Guess we should get back to iodine. Sorry, list. ) Loretta Re: Lithium Orotate as trace mineral > > " Dr. Loretta Lanphier " <LorettaLanphier@> wrote: > > and depression.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Loretta, Carol and, bbb, Thank you for this discussion. If there is a sodium regulating factor, I'm sure it's relative to iodine. Some report sodium cravings much reduced on iodine supplementation. One wonders what's happening on the cellular level. I've found that several alt med docs are using Lithium but not up on Neiper who has been respected for years in the alt cancer field. When patients use lithium orotate, do they have to be blood tested? Also, Loretta, where do you get your glazed lithium orotate? Thanks, Lynne In a message dated 11/6/2006 2:32:15 A.M.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 One thing I am sure of: We don't need blood testing while taking lithium orotate. The reason is explained very well by Nieper. This form of lithium is completely absorbed by the cells such that nothing remains to be tested in the blood. It is due to such excellent absorption that we need very small dose and that dose is far far below the toxicity level. Such is not the case with lithium carbonate. Some critics say if lithium orotate is not toxic then why nobody else than Nieper has worked on it? Critics also say that lithium in any form is toxic. In any case lithium is naturally found in sea foods especially kelp. Non-critics give many advantages of lithium. In the mainstream psychiatry I know in Vienna general hospital they try several forms of lithium if the lithium carbonate is found not working. But they have not tried its orotate form.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 hi Ratan do you use lithium there in India? How are you doing with the iodine? I was seen at Vienna hospital when I began to have thyroid probs at age 21!! My eyelids were twitching so they x-rayed my brain! and then told me I was crazy. OMG namaste Gracia One thing I am sure of: We don't need blood testingwhile taking lithium orotate. The reason is explainedvery well by Nieper. This form of lithium iscompletely absorbed by the cells such that nothingremains to be tested in the blood.
