My water has enough chemicals! It’s already loaded with dihydrogen monoxide and I don’t need any more chemicals, otay?

Low,dose lithium orotate is good for the first week(s) of weaning from an addiction. I know someone who beat chronic alcoholism with first lithium orotate and then caffeine (coffee several times a day). Lithium helps the first few weeks, then something to gravitate to that isn’t too unhealthy, like coffee or tea, helps the “habit” part. And then it is easier to wean down a light coffee addiction than alcohol.

Still I don’t want to bathe in lithium, please. I don’t need it. (I wouldn’t drink tap water other than at restaurants or park drinking fountains rarely)

Interestingly, it’s used for bipolar and some other mental disorders. So everyone taking it to treat their bipolar disorder is subject to all these side effects? Wow.


You ask a very good question. Though lithium is an element, a salt, it is often poorly tolerated and many people with bipolar cannot take it.

Oh, come on. Where’s your spirit of adventure? How about if we also add some Prozac? Will you at least try it?

[ If we got rid of dementia, that would all but eliminate the Democrat party.

(No offense intended to sufferers of actual dementia and their families/caregivers. I’ve seen the effects first-hand and it’s a tragedy in multiple ways) ]

To get rid of the democrat party you would have to add something worse to city water supplies...

But then again your average demonrat EBT/SNAP rat probably drinks soda and syzurrup, so adding anything to city water wouldn’t even reach them.

Adding lithium to couch syrup and coke may have a better effect.

But if we add ritalin to drinking water, it would get into the outflow through water treatment plants, and eventually would end up afflicting fish, and we would have anglers reeling in some very flaccid fish, no struggle on the line or anything.

[[Although researchers warn that the link could be due to other environmental factors,]]

Precisely- people in that region might eat a different diet than people in other areas- or might exercise more, or use different herbs when cooking- or even read more- or do crossword puzzles more- or go to sleep earlier on average- or whatever- many things can help with dementia/Alzheimer’s disease slightly-

Adding lithium to couch syrup...

Should I google that, or is it some LGBT thing I'm better off not knowing?

Avocados, egg yolks, and coconut oil are far stronger at protecting myelin sheaths on neurons from decaying. But the incompetent Medical-Industrial Complex warned Americans to HALT all consumption of all of those for decades — causing a massive uptick in dementia, Parkinsons, MS and Alzheimers. Remember the endless promotion of margarine and “low fat” diets in the 1970s, and demonization of egg yolks, milk, coconuts and avocados? Disastrous.

General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children’s ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: [very nervous] Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don’t, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen... tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?
General Jack D. Ripper: [somewhat embarassed] Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No.
General Jack D. Ripper: But I... I do deny them my essence.
