Lithium: an unexpected journey | Ben Lillie | TEDxNewYork 

You're very attractive Erica, I know I know what does your looks have to do with lithium orotate. 😉

Sorry to bother you... But I'm dealing with alot and I've tried alot to help.. I was told about Lithium.. what side effects did you notice? I want to talk to my doc about, just need somthing to help silence the mental noise..

@@joeboxernum31 lithium is gonna be great for you. It really quiets depressive thoughts, makes you calmer. It saved my life. Once your mind is better, the side effects are not gonna be that hash

Dang.

Yeah.. this sentence is way more deep than it seems to be

Thank you for sharing!! 🙏 I’m about to try it out.

Broken lost depeessed after 2 months on lithium

@@larasalem3042 sorry to hear that Lara. How you been holding up for the past 6months?

@@larasalem3042 Hope you're better now.

felt the same

Me! And my name's also Natalie. haha

Lithium is miracle

That's what brought me here! I was researching my medication and found this.

my husband too

Bi Polar here and on Lithium...

Mrholmes008 hi bro i just started lithium after trying some others that didn’t work but in this one I have faith is good to know that lithium really works for you

properly described

@@katieduthie3349 then just take shrooms or smoke weed while taking lithium too. Lithium is a nutrient, period

This is the best description of his talk.

Adam all my friends are in my head

My friends are not in my head never have been they are spirits from another dimension which I cross when not on lithium.

That's cute Adam

So tell me, what do you identify as other than pretentious?

Jayakrishnan Nair, beautifully said. For those of us who deal with bipolar disorder, philosophical answers or perspectives are as important as physiological treatments.

you better be on drugs for saying that.

Jayakrishnan Nair Yes, exactly. Science and Spirituality, are all one in the same.

Go_Away Not pretentious, pretentious is Billy Eyelash and trying to appear better than others, “fake deep” void of anything, this was just a very deep eye opening Ted Talk, some can relate, others can’t.

Robert Cece Lithium Carbonate is what big pharma pushes, Lithium Orotate is the much cheaper, healthier, and easily available and bioavailable version of that.

Ina Gutowska For sure

awesome keep us posted! im thinking of trying it this week

Results? I got sleepy and now I feel good and balanced and more social....

Haha

WiggersART plux tell me more doctor

Are you bipolar and have you taken luthium? I am and it do was sent sound like you know too much about it. Sounds like something big pharma teaches its legal life destroying drug dealers.

@@kennithbrowning7236 That was not English. Please find help. Are you okay? Sure? Please switch of your Central Scrutinizer. Everything you type is checked and scrutinized into utter weirdness.

Luke Davidson what? Start again at "He's" please.

+Johnny Salter Savage.

Well it said unexpected story so why did you have an expectation?

He did. You weren’t listening.

😂😂😂😂😂 same here

Johnny Salter Something you’d need to probably listen to a few times to fully grasp, and you might never grasp it fully honestly. More so “wow the universe is crazy.”

👀

+Klaus Warzecha I have had no success finding reliable studies of lithium orotate. There's anecdotal info about its superiority to carbonate, etc. I would very, very much appreciate pointers to studies on the orotate carrier for lithium. Thank you if you have the time. Barbara

I subscribe to consumer lab.com which might be the only entity that independently reviews supplements and the like. Recently they had answers about lithium orotate (cautions have to be taken with any form of lithium in sufficient doses.)

Look for studies at pub-med and Medline, both very handy resources

does it help with the BP2 Depression? Im in my depressed cycle now, hoping to be on lithium when I meet my Dr this Friday.

@@tanakkusai hi Isiah I am bipolar 2 and I find Lithium 75% effective. Its like you go over road bumps with an occasional large one rather than stuck on the roller coaster. I have no adverse symptoms such as hand tremble and stomach upset. Im happy with my medicine. Nothing is perfect and there is as yet no cure. Take Lithium its better than some other scary meds. I stopped one that zombiefied me and my her fell out in clumps. Dont be afraid take Lithium but I couldnt reccommend any other drug. Big hug

Seeking for help.. My bestie thinks she is suffering from bipolar...this hasn't been confirmed yet by a specialist though...but the symptoms are quite similar... She has had a major depressive phase..which lasted for more than an year... during which she took the most extreme step too but was fortunately saved...this was a few months back... But she's quite stable now.. in terms of having suicidal thoughts... Currently the thing is that her emotions aren't in her control...sometimes she just cries and cries literally for hours without any reason..and experiences severe headache too.. Also, there are a lot of mood swings...At a particular instant she will be very depressed, numb and cold..won't talk with anybody...and on the very same day after a few hours or on the next day she will be highly energetic and excited... Now the issue is that first of all we are in our teenage only....still at such a tender age too she is giving the best possible fight.... Secondly she hasn't informed her parents about her current symptoms for multiple reasons...as far as I have understood..the reason is she is a bit afraid of getting treated...and also she believes that if she will inform her parents then out of concern they'll start invading her privacy which she has been given currently... Another issue is that for some reasons neither can I inform them... I have been trying to convince her about informing her parents and seeking for professional help.. but she says she wants to wait.. Also..for some reasons I can't even meet her frequently...and worse...I will be going far away from her to another city in a few days.. So basically I stand almost helpless... one thing is for sure that professional help is absolutely necessary or else the condition might worsen... I don't know what to do and the only thing I could think of is seeking help through such platforms... I would be really very grateful if any professional or past sufferer can make me understand that how can I convince her for seeking professional help and also that how should I behave in her manic and low epsiodes so that I don't worsen the condition....

I'm starting lithium tonight. How's your journey so far??

@@VeraCasaca Yes, for me a massive difference. I have Biploar 2, started it 18 months ago, has made an amazing difference. Lows are much less and not so long, a few weeks, as opposed to months. The highs are gone. Wish you well, Claire

I take orotate and would like to hear how carbonate performs in comparison

done lith-orotate a week and feel super awsome,

polar warriors, Dr Ramini ,med circle. very solid informative suggestions to continue your research in bi polar spectrum.

Michael Kuntz He’s a Physicist.

Amen!

Dᴏᴡʟᴘʜɪɴ Is it found in Afghanistan? I've taken it in carbonate form for bipolar disorder before - some like it.. it makes me feel very 'blah'..but less impulsive and think more about why I'm doing something or if I should. Some actually think it's a trace nutrient we're mostly missing.

Dᴏᴡʟᴘʜɪɴ Also for what it's worth it's much MORE anti-manic and much LESS anti-depressing in it's effect. It is however one of the only if not the only medication which acutely reduces suicidality.

+Frater Tenc It can prevent depression from starting though.

Frater Tenc Sounds about right I guess. Psychiatry is mostly driven by the mind's control issues anyway. Lack of heart gets insecure in the presence of unrestrained joy, but is satisfied when the subject is sedated. It's a very deep and widespread psychological issue, and from my own experiences somewhat in the direction of bipolar I can say that it might, at least in some cases, just be a symptom, a reflection, of the sickness in society. I can get immensely passionate because I allow myself to be deeply inspired by some things, and then I get miserable and depressed when I again and again receive negative reaction from insecure people who try to suppress it because it reminds them too much of their own suppressed happiness. And that response can sink in just as deeply as the joyful inspiration. Summed up: twitter.com/Dowlphin/status/665716976950620160

That is interesting of the studies even recent ones on municipal water supplies that are in those cities having a much lower rate of murder and suicide!

You are talking about high dose lithium. Not lithium oratate at recommended doses.

averat84 LITHIUM CARBONATE, that’s extremely high dose and not even properly absorbed to be beneficial... LITHIUM OROTATE AT RECOMMENDED ANS THERAPUTIC DOSES is fine.

I have been on 900mg of Lithium for 8 years. From the beginning, my psychiatrist thoroughly educated me on how to avoid kidney problems. At 60, I remain in good health. However, Hypothyroidism developed, which requires daily medication.

Only at very high doses. Everything in excess is harmful.

Well I hope your grandkids are smart enough to figure out that it is not only things that you can see that can be understood, hopefully will give them the impetus to look further into science to see what can be understood by using science to see into the "invisible" worlds and even back in time.

And I am sure you also tell your grandkids about the magic sky man?

Oh my gosh I hope your grandkids don't listen to you. LOL can anyone actually see and truly appreciate what we are actually made of?

Have hope, ask your Dr. if Lithium will align with your treatment.

no

Have you tried it? I'm genuinely interested. i take orotate, but I take magnesium carbonate and that one seems to enter my brain just fine. I wonder if carbonate works the same or better in the gut (or the brain). Not trusting any studies, just experiences.

@@dominus6695 Dr John Grey recommends 25 mgs daily . Look him up for more advice on depression. 💕

+Ned4Games A supernova can outshine a galaxy, but only for a short time. The brightest objects of all are gamma ray bursts but, as the name suggests, they are very brief.

he was not on Lithium. Never was.

He was murdered and I believe one day all the truths will be known. If I'm wrong, all apologies.

Nope..he didnt take his meds
