For how long?
Did it work for 3 months?
What are these people going to be like in 5 years after they have long since established tolerance and dependency, and then miss a week of drinking tap water?
Also, how much? IF it's so negligible that you don't have to worry about rebound, then who is it helping? People who should need intervention?
If it's a lot, well I say, BRILLIANT.
You know what else would lower suicide rates? G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate. /vague movie reference

Take my love,
Take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand,
I don’t care,
I’m still free,
You can’t take the sky from me,
Take me out,
To the black,
Tell them all I ain’t coming back,
Burn the land,
Boil the sea,
You can’t take the sky from me,
There’s no place I can be,
Since I found Serenity,
You can’t take the sky from me.

Lithium messes ones stomach up, and doesn't necessarily have a significant theraputic effect.
Ask me how I know.

There are many non-lithium treatments for bipolar disease today.

Almost any depressed person with suicide ideation IMHO should be on a small dose of lithium along with their other meds. Lately been wondering if there is a dearth of lithium in the soil of the Pacific Northwest and if the drinking water has little or none. Patients with agitated depressions behave like these rioters and politicians.

Was a great show. I still re-watch.
BTW Lithium used to be in seven up.
The old seven up motto was “You like it. It likes you”

Another pile of steaming crap from Soros “science.”

My mom has been on lithium for over 30 years. She had a terrible breakdown, and lithium saved her.
She’s 89, and she has survived losing her husband, her son, and being brutally assaulted without having another breakdown. She’s also run an antique store that she is only now closing due to Covid.
To me it’s a miracle drug.

I am afraid to ask how you feel about fluoride!
To: zeestephen
Fluoride rots your bones and your teeth.
So it’s “good” for you.
To: zeestephen
Great, they can add it to the tranquilizers that have been put in city drinking water for decades. That is the only reason I can see for the passivity of most city people who will continue to take all the crap dished out by the left.

The best practice is don’t drink tap water. It’s not your grandad’s tap water. About 7 years ago we switched from bottled spring water to a Big Berkey gravity water filtration system. It takes out everything including arsenic and flouride and I’m sure lithium also. Best $219 we ever spent.

Yep, I have a Berkey by my sink. I occasionally buy Arrowhead water when it’s on sale, and I also have a Sodastream. Don’t use any of their flavours, just ‘fizz’ the water.
