2/5 I started putting patients on over-the-counter low dose lithium in 2013 when I read that even micro-dosing can be neuroprotective. https://t.co/6vNYSK5snf

What people are saying
Posts frequently support the research, citing specific studies from 2013 and mentioning how microdosing lithium could be neuroprotective, with language reflecting curiosity and optimism. The tone varies from supportive to questioning, illustrating both engagement and recognition of potential impact.
Most discussions express support or interest in the findings, with some questioning the broader implications, indicating general agreement.
A high number of posts reference personal experiences, historical research, or potential applications, showing strong interest.
Participants cite studies, suggest further research, and debate implications, demonstrating active engagement.
Posts suggest that the findings could influence future research or medical practices, though some question its current relevance, indicating moderate impact.
Abstract in brief
- Microdose lithium treatment at 300 micrograms daily helped stabilize cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients over 15 months, with the treated group maintaining their mental performance while the control group declined.
- Lithium is known to reduce dementia risk in bipolar patients by inhibiting pathways related to amyloid buildup and tau protein hyperphosphorylation, which are involved in Alzheimer's disease.
- Using very low doses of lithium (microdoses) may offer a safe and effective way to prevent or slow Alzheimer's without the toxicity associated with higher doses.]

A study tested lithium at nutritional volumes versus placebo in a 15-month study of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Those taking nutritional lithium exhibited stable memory test scoring while placebo group scores significantly declined. https://t.co/WT3k07e5fJ

This paper shows a date of 2013. Has there been more testing? Is big pharma, the CDC, or NIH just ignoring the potential of Lithium treatment because there's no money to be made? https://t.co/Ts41KaVbTA

Interesting. I'd like to see an RCT in patients with post-COVID cognitive dysfunction on lithium at various serum target levels vs placebo. I wonder if or what lithium levels might protect covid pts from reduced gray matter, "brain fog," etc. https://t.co/KCffss4P6F
