Is it a micronutrient? This is the question posed about Li by the Biological Trace Element Research Journal based on epidemiological studies and now being brought back into the public eye by Harvard Research findings. 

I’m not talking about when it is combined with carbonate to become a molecule that has a very hard time getting where it is intended to go and therefore has to be given in massive amounts that pose risk. 

I’m talking about physiological amounts in a form that has been ingested by humans in over-the-counter supplements that I have been taking for over a decade intermittently.

I remember the first time I took it. I had just had my midterm review for a clinic shift. It was not the only time my timid nature was brought up in clinic shift reviews. I was going to fail if I couldn’t exude confidence and become a more aggressive person. While not intimidating people might be a strength when dealing with very sensitive medical topics, a doctor must be assertive.

I needed not to go into the mental hole of knowing that if I didn’t make a sudden switch the whole becoming a doctor path was going to come to an end. There it was. A supplement bottle. I took it. No drastic effects except that all the drastic feelings & emotions were done. I was focused on strategizing changing my behavior and presentation. The shift was quick and I got through. My future wasn’t doomed by fear.

While I don’t usually even bring up animal research, this is particularly important in the way they used it along with findings in the human brain to confirm what huge epidemiological studies have found.

Mental health struggles and dementia are 2 of the most frustrating of disorders known to man. They affect so many people. 

The big take home is that form and amount of Li matter tremendously. However, if both of these are right, we can have benefit.

Nothing is a fix for everyone’s situation. There are a lot of considerations in regards to health, but looking at the whole situation with the science we can do better. 

If you are ready to approach your health holistically, with the help of a professional trained in the details of the science, call 503-445-9771 to get started.
