Lithium - The super mineral for brain and soul

Today's hectic and stressful times, combined with our heavily polluted environment, create the perfect breeding ground for mental instability. Indeed, the number of mental illnesses such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addiction, anxiety disorders, aggression, and depression is steadily increasing, particularly in industrialized nations. Low-dose lithium can help many sufferers – effectively and without side effects.

Lithium has been used as a medication in psychiatry since the mid-20th century to treat bipolar disorder, mania, and depression. In high doses, the mineral can make patients more balanced and better able to cope with their illnesses. The problem: at high doses, lithium has strong side effects with comparatively low efficacy. Severe damage, including kidney failure, can result.

Treatment with low-dose lithium is far more effective and safer for health. For example, in the form of lithium orotate, it can easily and effectively cross the blood-brain barrier, thus achieving its maximum effectiveness even in very small doses. Even as a trace element, the mineral has positive effects on our health: Japanese scientists were able to demonstrate that in areas with high lithium levels in drinking water, the suicide rate is comparatively low.

James Greenblatt explains, based on numerous study results, the function and special significance of low-dose lithium in the treatment of mental illnesses. He demonstrates how important this trace element is for our bodies and how it can help many sufferers. Lithium also offers numerous positive effects as a targeted dietary supplement, for example, through special mineral waters with a high lithium concentration. It protects our brain and thus acts as a natural anti-aging agent.
