@SAL D About 2.5 mg a day of lithium orotate seems to have take a sharp edge off some of my anxiety effects. I'm trying to minimize the amount I take, so I will try and lower this dose for the same effects. There is also a whole food version that I will look into as well.

Yep that's what I use for my son's bipolar however the menu still is there I don't know if I need to give him more but I'm afraid to because of the stabilizer with the liver
Wow... i can imagine how excited he would of been once he saw those results like HOLY FxCK no way just figured it out!! thats a huge discovery who would of ever thought LITHIUM would be the key to it all... wild !! thanks for the information that is SUPER COOL!
This clip fascinTates. The story actually goes back to Alfred Garrod (1859) [ i blogged on this 2017/11/]. You missed some details in Dr Cade's work, but what i wanted to hear about is something Eric Kandel brings up [pg 78 "the disordered mind"]. When the Neuronal ion channel is opened it allows both Na+ and Li+ ions to enter. He `says` upon returning to normal potention the Li remains [i saw no source]. The reason this interests is therapeutic Li is in the form of Li2Co3 [lithium carbonate]. Where as A lot of the supplement folks have been pushing Lithium Oratate [a somewhat heavier molecule] .. hm ... i sense some investigation of why Li might produce GABA might be instructive. Is it because the action potential of ion placement having a smaller variance in the presense of Li ??
I take 1500 MG a day. Far from a zombie., still tons of energy and hyper was from adhd. I do feel numb sometimes but I’m going on 5 years sober and have been on lithium over 5 years. Eventually because of how it affects the liver I’ll have to find another mood stabilizer.
@@Dana-sv8evI've been researching it because it was recommended for my son ..... I'm not seeing many adverse effects....only that there isn't enough research to confirm the safety. But I will say the Biotics Research brand of Lithium is extracted from lentils/peas/chickpeas......so I'm really feeling that it can't be extremely dangerous or anything like that
ok, this is amazing! I figured out what was going to happen after you mentioned uric acid (after having watched a video about lithium chemical properties to make batteries)! I love the pure simplicity of the solution in an alkali metal.
I’m hoping you can help. If the chemical in the body is present in the uric acid and it’s neutralised by an alkaline metal - does this mean that alkaline food will have the same affect? Thank you.
@@sophiamyambala1405 I am not a chemist or doctor, but I doubt it since your digestive system will completely alter the food before it comes into contact with uric acid.
But what in the injected urine was the source of the mania in the guinea pigs? For a moment I thought the uric acid was the source of the mania. Why not use Sodium Urate instead of Lithium Urate?
Im on Lithium 18 yrs but have to come off because recently diagnosed with CKD DIABETES MELLITUS BRAIN IMPAIRMENT END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE/ DIALYSIS WITHIN 5- 10 YEARS.
I’m sorry to hear of your diagnosis and can’t comment on whether lithium has been a contributing factor. I did however spot one culprit that could account for all the rest of your problems, including mental illness and that is diabetes. Excess carbohydrates (sugar) consumption, which is more than 5g (teaspoon) a day is problematic for the human body. Anything greater than that amount in the blood has to be stored in muscle, organs, brain etc in order to keep you alive 😮 There is no requirement for any carbohydrates in the human diet, cut them all out and begin your healing journey. Go Keto or better go carnivore for 3 months and monitor the changes. Do your research and you’ll be amazed at what you can cure. Check out Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Rob Kiltz and others
Hey Andrew does the new psychiatrist I'm sing put me on lithium... In the Bay area I was on Klonopin seem to be working good.. of course I watched your video first...rip to the homie orfn and kzam! Very informative thanks
"better" is in no way a fitting description. one works for some, one for others. lithium is referred as the standard in treatment of all bipolar variants and even some kind of unipolar depression with the same physiological background.
@@flexflexflexflex have you noticed Bryan Johnson (the longevity guy) takes lithium as a supplement? I wonder why anyone would take it as a supplement.
Read about lithium orotate The prescription version carbonate can be dangerous because of the extremely high dose and the way that it absorbs, but other forms of lithium can work just as well and are very beneficial. Your body needs lithium just not extremely high doses like the pharmaceutical industry prescribes, and the only reason they did it this way is because they had to find a way to patent lithium so by binding it to carbonate Tada money !
Lithium orotate is much more dangerous its absorption or levels in serum is threefold compared to LIcarbonate and also its half life is much longer it also is more effective and gets stored in the brain longer. Orotic acid is also weakly mutagenic. There have been cases of people taking high dosages of lithium orotate such as 2.1 grams and getting into the ER with poisoning. This doesn't happen with lithium carbonate altho it does put strain on the kidneys. You don't need to take high dosages anyway 50mg to 100 mg is already enough for beneficial properties. Im not sure about lithium neuroprotective effects it does seem to prevent dementia and alzheimer but there is damage its toxic to some brain parts
@@alexanderp8037You have a lot of misinformation there. Orotate is dosed much lower and is actually safe. The carbonate version is the potentially dangerous one.
Hmmm...very interesting. So the problem wasn't in urea but uric acid, and Lithium helped to dissolve Uric acid. Would other natural elements that help to dissolve uric acid also help (with mania)? Substances like Tart cherry, Quercetin, Phosphorus, Luteolin etc
I want to ask a question ... i am facing unwantwd sexual arousal and irritation i was on cipralex before and quite that ... i cnt sleep and in day time i am facing unwated sexual arousal .... plz help me ... will lithium or lithium ortate will decrease them ?
Your brain will always question what is wrong and right. It sounds like you are questioning taboo subjects which is normal imo. But if you feel overwhelmed remind yourself they are just thoughts. I think about the worst things sometimes but it’s just my imagination-I don’t act on bad thoughts. Fantasizing is normal-we all question the things we can’t have in life. If your thinking becomes too much for you consider a mood stabilizer or picking up a sport/exercise program so you can’t release whatever pent up energy. Exercise is proven to be the best anti anxiety med out there. Good luck man. I’ve struggled with the same stuff as you.
bc lithium is a mood stabiliser and adhd is a planning/concentration disorder, not an affective disorder. I'll link a study I found on this asap, but as someone with bipolar and adhd I can say that lithium does not help with my adhd symptoms. Mania and hyperactivity seem similar but are different.
the study is called "Management Strategies for Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder Comorbidities in Adults with ADHD: A Narrative Review"
@MajorMajorMajorMajor-jw6qo hi yeah it seems to be helping me quite alot my mind and thoughts don't see to feel like out of control now I can actually relax a bit more and concentrate my highs and lows are manageable now where as before I couldn't control them at all iv had to move up dosage a bit but other than that I find it's helping alot 😊
@MajorMajorMajorMajor-jw6qo it's for sure helping me with my moods feeling alot more stable and controlled I had to go up a dose as my levels dropped but I think it's really helping after trying endless antidepressants that just didn't seem to help I'm glad I'm on this med now feel better
I had my first episode last june and was put on lithium and an antipsychotic. I’m now off of the psychotic and feel like I did before I was admitted. You’ll likely pee more often and I had a tremor for the first week or so that I started it. You have to get occasional bloodwork to make sure you’re at the right lithium level, so if you’re afraid of needles that’d be something to consider. The biggest issue I’ve had is since I’ve started it I’ve had erectile problems, but I’ll be starting a medicine for that. It really hasn’t been a bad experience for me and I’d recommend it. Hope this helps!
Does anyone know if taking Lithium after knowing you already have Hyperthyroidism will affect the TSH levels, lets say from TSH higher than 5? if so any alternatives to maintain TSH in normal level while having to take Lithium.
I started lithium carbonate 3 years ago. I have hand tremors that make me want to look for alternatives... heard of lithium orotate, but there is not much research around it. How are you doing with your new medication?
@@gabrielarsego8664 There is apparently a whole food lithium that might work at much lower doses. Real food versions are always better than inorganic versions when possible. You also might want to look into implementing an ancestral diet and addressing any common toxicity and nutrient deficiency issues. For example, iron overload in the tissues is very common since metallic iron filings are "fortified" into many processed foods, especially those with flour. HFCS, vitamin D supplements (sardines are a good substitute because they come packaged with 10x retinol, which is important!), calcium, zinc, ascorbic acid and iron supplements are all toxic. Most pharmaceutical drugs as well. Magnesium, retinol, and copper are typically very depleted in most people not on a real food diet with naturally raised animals. Your ancestors got you here by eating the organs of grass fed animals (the copper is in the grass!). They did this for thousands of years on end. If a new version of the Industrial Food Complex diet is not working out, go back to nature and look for answers. Also, a clean liver is a big deal. They can be so rusted out and filled with toxins that they don't function very well.
My son thought he was satan's chosen one so at least you're on the right team. He was discharged from a psych hospital on lithium 2 days ago after a suicide attempt (along with other meds). He sounds much more balanced now.
@teresahunt5521 I'm glad as well for his recovery. One of the things I noticed while in the mental clinic, were people returning on their third or fourth time. They stopped taking their meds. My guess, most of them were addicted to that natural high. Feeling special or being more creative during that state...

Some people like to hide a bit behind the concept of “we.” In Huberman’s case, he might have help putting these presentations together, so he may view his expression as that of a team effort. Anyway, nothing wrong with thinking differently nor with good natured sarcasm.
@@phantompizza Lithium is in a class of medications called antimanic agents. They works by decreasing abnormal activity in the brain. It was prescribed to me from a doctor & I got the prescription filled in a pharmacy. What does a pharmacy sell..? pharmaceuticals. what do doctors prescribe. Drugs ?!....Have u anything else to add
@@phantompizza When any substance is used in a form that can change a person's mental or physical state, then it becomes a drug.
