Lithium
I had wondered about the metals with the bt7.
That's interesting information about the lithium, and something else I had been thinking about it with my father. I saw where the low doses of lithium orotate and lithium aspartate are available.
If you read about them, they are not just for brain function.
Hmm, now you have me thinking Newport, because I was also reading about nickel with the prostate stuff in the
Hulda Clark book--with stainless steel utensils being one of the main places that we get nickel exposure (and dental). Before I knew any of this stuff--dad had brachy radiation treatments for prostate cancer.
Another thing I've thought alot about--his sister was in and out of mental facilities with bipolar- getting the lithium level correct was what they found was the most important thing. Poor lady, she went through shock therapy and all kinds of horrible stuff. Her son was also found to have bipolar and is on lithium.
My dad's brother also "wigged out" and his lithium level also needed to be monitored regularly....and then it was also found in his daughter. But all of them in adulthood...
I don't believe they were "born" with it, as a hereditary thing. Who knows what toxins just like you are saying with the nickel, or mercury etc is the underlying cause that Dr's would never figure out. My dad and I were just talking also about my alcoholic brother and wondering if lithium is something out of whack with him too. He definetly has the high's and low's--but also alot of other health issues he's created for himself.
Thankfully..dad figured out in a big hurry that the "anti-anxiety" medication was making him worse, and he quit them quickly. I'm sure now that they were Benzo's. I would bet that many of the Veterans are put on the Benzo drugs for the PTSD. Through VA, there's a list of the pharma drugs available- I would guess that many of the anxiety drugs ARE benzos on the list.
