I just watched the video in this article and the doctor recommends a very lose dose of Lithium OROTATE (5mg) supplement for health benefits regarding dementia, Parkinson's, depression, alcoholism, etc. This is not the form prescribed by doctors in the past for more serious cases, and the form that has more serious side effects. NOTE: With any supplements, research side effects and consult with your doctor if you have any medical conditions or are taking any prescription drugs. Full article here.

For around 30 years, holistic Dr. Jonathon Wright, MD has been using lithium orotate on his Washington State Tahoma Clinic patients and himself. He declares:
I’m convinced that lithium is an anti-aging nutrient for human brains. And there are also some very strong reasons to believe that lithium therapy will slow the progression of serious degenerative mental problems, including Alzheimer’s disease, senile dementia, and Parkinson’s disease. (Source)

Several other holistic health practitioners are also promoting the most common supplemental form of lithium orotate. It’s bound with orotic acid, which while similar to a B vitamin and once inaccurately labeled B-13, is also something the body is able to create. Some studies have implied there are heart health qualities with orotic acid.


Lithium orotate manages to penetrate the blood-brain barrier more than lithium carbonate compounds. So it takes less lithium to encourage positive results. For example, one source of lithium orotate lists each capsule’s content with 125 mg (milligrams) of lithium orotate that yields only 5 mg of lithium. Some other 5 mg lithium orotate supplements may also contain vitamin C and/or NAC (N-Acetylcysteine).


Dr. Wright has determined the daily dosages, ranging from 5 to 40 mg, as effective and safe with 10 to 20 mg per day effective for most. One does not need a prescription, and it can be found inexpensively almost anywhere supplements are sold or online.


Dr. Wright has had success with lithium orotate for alcoholics and their families, or in general, among households and individuals as mood stabilizers. Improvements occur within weeks. He recommends giving lithium orotate a six to eight-week trial. If no favorable or not-so-favorable results occur, one merely stops without suffering any withdrawal.
I haven’t kept a count of exactly how many individuals have tried this approach over the last 30 years, but it’s probably somewhere in the vicinity of 300 to 400 – maybe more. And the majority report positive changes: less depression and irritability for women, and less irritability and “temper” for men. (Source)

Dr. Jeffrey Dach is another holistic doctor who uses lithium orotate for neuroprotective purposes while recommending it to his patients in South Florida. He mentions how the chemical imbalance or weakened neurotransmitter theory doesn’t apply with the malfunctions corrected or protected by lithium.


Instead, lithium helps boost neurogenesis, which is the brain’s ability to create new neurons from aging or from neurodegenerative diseases or extreme stress. The old theory that the brain can’t create new cells or neurons just isn’t true.
Dr. Dach cites studies supporting lithium orotate’s efficacy assisting recovery or improvement with:

  • Increasing the size of the brain’s Hippocampus
  • Depression
  • Parkinson’s disease’s
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Stroke brain damage
  • Alzheimer’s disease (Source)

Thanks for this reminder. Due to bodywide advancing arthritis, a lowness is with me. I wonder if a low dose would help me.

"a lowness is with me. I wonder if a low dose would help me."

 Not sure i understand?...lowness?

I understand the advancing arthritis , as I have it as well....and am always looking for any relief...even the tiniest bit.
 

lowness means not majorally depressed but LOW. I'd like to be happier and pain keeps me LOW. I muscle test and just asked my body IF I should work with L.O. and my body said YES. I've posted about muscle testing and it's all energy work. If you have a curosity check my Muscle Test thread. Or maybe it's on the other group here.
 
Lithium has all kinds of interactions with commonly used drugs, including NSAIDS, and can have serious side effects including liver and kidney toxicity. I would not consider taking this drug unless it was a last resort. I certainly would not consider taking it for arthritis, which I do have.

This is NOT the pharma drug. If you listen to the 18 minute video the presenter is very thorough in the delivery of this information. This is orotate and not the pharma version. I would NOT take anything harmful BUT again listen to the video. Iherb has many reviews on people taking the L.O. 5mg dose...small small dose of the orotate.

I just added a 5mg bottle to my iherb cart. I'm going to try it. The presenter in the video talks about people especially those getting older are missing lithium in their brains....again this is not the pharma drug. jam

And I'm considering it for my mild depression/lowness from pain from OA. Wish people read others notes.
 
Here is what another friend on a health group says about taking L.O.

((I take it for 3 -4 months a few times a year and I take the 5 mg... sometimes
10 mgs per day. It lifts my mood for sure but mainly just allows me to not sweat the
small stuff. And there is a certain contentment and freedom in that.))

I'm anxious to start on 5mg.
