Second, all supplements are goverend by the FDA. That is an brash statement to throw out there. The truth is supplement companies are goverend by the FDA (DSHEA Act), but that does not mean all companies are equal. Furthormore, very few physicians are actually trained on supplements let alone the differences on companies. Go to http://www.worldhealth.net. Not all of these physcians use supplements but they will be able to refer you to someone who does.

That said, I also want to comment on one of the comments that were left here. One person suggested people google “Citizens commision on human rights”. I want to point out that group is actually run by the cult of Scientology and does not have your interests at heart. Their whole point is to be anti-medicine and anti-psychiatry and to get people into their cult instead of to real doctors. They are quacks and dangerous. Do not go to them under any circumstances for information.

Lithium Orotate has been used extensively in Europe over many years. Here in the US, psychiatrists are using it with good results for people with mixed bipolar disorder (like myself).

I asked my psychiatrist why there is such a push for the atypical antipsychotics. Her response: because there is very little profit left in the anti-convulsants (after they go generic like Lamotrigine). Lithium Orotate? That will never be researched as it is as cheap as dirt.

ECT is again being touted as the miracle cure for depression. As a licensed clinical social worker I’ve seen first-hand the results of people who have been “treated” with ECT. If ECT is so safe and good, I’d like every doctor who prescribes it to have undergone one ECT treatment at the lowest possible strength. I wonder how much ECT would be prescribed after that.

I went through years and years of psychmeds, and my bipolar worsened. I couldn’t take the pharmaceutical lithium due to hypothyroid. My psychiatrist put me through all the anticonvulsants, then the atypical antipsychotics. Sorry, I’m not ready to become a vegetable. The next step was electroshock. No thank you. Finally I tried lithium orotate, and it works without side effects. It doesn’t affect my thyroid, or my kidneys. It doesn’t even show up in bloodwork. But it keeps me stable. Certainly it doesn’t work for everyone, but it works for me and millions like me.

I’m sick of experts who suggest electroshock and antipsychotics, both of which are clearly extremely dangerous, as viable options, and then advise people against lithium orotate because “it hasn’t been studied enough.” Why hasn’t it been? Clue: it has nothing to do with helping people.

Why don’t you try some antipsychotics and therapeutic shock therapy, and then tell us what you think.

maybe my brain is to toxic for Lithium Orotate to work ..

I have had a very bad life and took alot of stuff.
