Could Dementia be a Lithium Deficiency?

A new study out of Harvard has made the connection between Alzheimer’s Disease and lithium deficiency. Most promising are the mouse experiments that show how lithium supplementation can not only help repair brain functioning, but may even reverse the disease.

Lithium is a trace mineral, meaning it is a mineral our bodies need to function, albeit in small amounts. Trace minerals support vital functions like metabolism, nerve function, and growth. They are crucial for health, but needed in much smaller quantities than major minerals (like calcium or potassium). Even though needed in small amounts, a lack of a trace mineral can be as harmful as lacking a major mineral, causing health issues like goiter (iodine deficiency). We must take in trace minerals through our diet as we do not manufacture them ourselves.

Scientists discovered that lithium is depleted in the brain by binding to toxic amyloid plaques. Alzheimer’s Disease is a form of dementia characterized by the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain which interfere with brain function, particularly memory.

Lithium is most well-known for its mood-stabilizing effects in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Standard therapeutic doses of lithium may include large doses such as 600 mg three times daily. Typically, patients taking this much lithium get regular blood draws to ensure they are not reaching toxic levels. What most interests me is low-dose lithium.

Recent research is showing that much smaller amounts of lithium may be beneficial for cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cognitive function, as well as inflammatory and antioxidant processes of the aging body.

Armed with this information, I decided to begin microdosing myself and my 82-year old mother with liquid lithium drops.  Eidon Ionic Minerals is a company I trust completely and I take many of their other mineral supplements as well. My mother’s dementia has been steadily progressing for about ten years and it has been both alarming and depressing to watch her brain function diminish and her personality disappear.

I started us off slowly, with just five drops in a cup of water, to see if we had any reactions. Like all their mineral formulation, the liquid lithium drops are completely tasteless and can be added to any drink. Minerals absorb best when suspended in liquid, so it is always best to take mineral supplements with plenty of liquid to help them get into your system.

After a few days, I felt safe in proceeding to a full dropperful (about 30 drops) of lithium, about 2mg every day, or two dropperfuls every few days.

It has only been about a month or so, but for me I feel happier, more motivated, and more productive. I’ve found myself completing tasks that have been put off for months or even years. We are dosing my mother with a dropperful every day now, and I watch my mother seem at times to be much closer to her old self, not always forgetting things within minutes or on an endless repeat loop. I’m definitely not saying I’ve seen a complete reversal of her dementia to the competent, professional, doctor she once was, but I am seeing some improvements here and there.

While I haven’t noticed any physical reactions from taking the lithium, one of my friends who is also experimenting with it, says she notices a rush of energy in her body that requires her to sit down after taking it. I tend to take it at night before bed, but I haven’t noticed anything like that.

Lately, there are moments when my mother sounds and acts like her old self again. It’s enough to make me committed to continue supplementing her —and myself— with lithium.
