Lithium: The Wonder Drug

[Svartalf]

Is it required as a micro-nutrient by some obscure metablic function, and so its lack is an issue, or does it have a de novo effect?

Not so much a denovo effect as discovering another area where its lack is detrimental.

Do we have stats concerning correlation of bipolar troubles with Parkinson's?

A rare association. Almost nil.


Given where it is on the list elements it would have been one of the first materials to be produced in quantity from supernova recycling in the universe?

I tried it once years ago, prescribed to me for mood stabilizer while going through very stressful divorce. AFter a few days, I said "fuck this shit" I might as well take acid, at least I'll see some psychedelic colors.

Doesn't sound like lithium. Take's weeks to get into your system and people stop taking it because it isn't doing anything (apparently not doing anything) at all.

Yes it was, because I thought to myself why don't I just chew on a couple batteries...

maybe it was more than a few days, I really don't remember it was a long time ago, I just remember what I felt like after taking it. I wasnt taking anything else.

But it's comparatively rare, likely due to further stages of fusion.

and absence of correlation is weird if the presence of that oligo element is useful for improving both conditions, you'd expect sufferers of one to evolve into the other, at least a significant number.

Drug counterfeiters again.
