Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 I was following this post. My son did test low for lithium on the hair test (<0.004). What does this mean? I found a lithium supplement - what improvements should I expect? THANKS JT Quote
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Just my 2 cents - as a biologist, I can say that Li has no essential function in the body. I found its reputation to stem from a story (that I call an urban legend spread by the medical community) that a town with high lithium in the water had low rates of bipolar illness. The same kind of story was spread to promote the use of fluoride for preventing tooth decay, but though Fl has an essential function in the formation of tooth enamel, the method of adding fluoride in water and toothpaste cannot possibly reduce tooth decay, but is instead seriously damaging, and this contention is now being amply supported by good research and common sense. Yes, I have seen numerous studies about the nerve stabilizing properties of Li, but from cases I have observed, the effects are more like those of a chemical straightjacket, where the side effects can be extremely severe and numerous, though many " patients " report good results (at least initially and while under pressure from MDs). The more obvious but mild symptoms are swelling (liquid retention, especially in the fingers), marked depletion of energy, etc, etc. Anyway, everyone has to make up their own mind on such matters, but this is what I'd have to say about lithium, and most pharmaceuticals.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 supplemental lithium is not the same as prescription lithium. Supplemental lithium is needed by the brain for many things, it also helps immune function. > > > > > > on the bottle of lithium orotate form VRP.. says 4.8 mg, and then > > over > > > to the right it says 130mg.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 does that go for the supplement lithium?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 The information you refer to is in regards to prescription lithium. We are referring to the supplemental mineral. Those effects are not seen when using supplemental mineral lithium. But yes, with prescription they are. That form is different. Many here and on frequent dose have found that in mercury toxicity there are low levels of lithium available. Lithium does assist with moods and immune function. At least in the natural form as a supplement. This has been demonstrated by many who have used it. Including myself. At low levels of 5mg or less, in the form of lithium orotate or aspartate...it does not produce the effects seen in prescription lithium salts. > > From: sunflower_luvbooks <sunflower0904@...> > Subject: [ ] Re: Lithium/Anyone > > Date: Monday, February 2, 2009, 7:18 PM > > > > > > > I was following this post. > My son did test low for lithium on the hair test (<0.004). > What does this mean?
