Lithium-laced drinking water could curb suicide rates, scientists say

For communities with a low rate of depression and suicide, there may be something in the water, according to a new study.

A comprehensive analysis of findings from previous studies has revealed that regions where the public drinking water contains a high level of naturally occurring lithium — a mineral used most often for the treatment of depression and bipolar disorder — also boast a lower rate of suicide than other areas. The review included all prior research on the effects of lithium, as well as regional water samples and suicide data from 1,286 locales in Austria, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, the UK, Japan and the United States.

I thought "Brave New World" was suppose to be a warning. Actually these scientists are more clever than Huxley. They want to put SomaLithium into the water supply.

[wastedyears]

Shouldn’t be anything in the water.

He also offers us ways of handling any additives like fluoride or lithium, you know.

It takes more than being happy on a chemical to stop suicide. I think a wholesome education with God would go a long way to make strong and resilient brains

One should just drink rain water and pure grain alcohol.
Have you ever seen a Communist drink a glass of water?

[JudgemAll]

Yep. Hear hear. The Bible was right. Anything other than birth by the water is adding disease, not taking away from it.

I prefer bourbon in my water.

Fluoride. Lithium! Heck, put the Gates vaccine in the water, too!

Switching to Kool Aid ... oh, wait! Guyana punch.

Perhaps the better question is why the level of depression and bipolar disorder is so high?

Though I realize it’s easier to figure out how to anesthesize everyone. Perhaps we could just slip a dose of lithium into each of Bill Gates’ Covid vaccines.

I think “They” are putting LSD in the water nowadays considering the mass insanity that is upon us. I’m on the Water Board at our private water company and I can guarantee that we have the best tasting well water in Eastern California.

Why we do need to put it in the water supply? Why not just mandate lithium vape cartridges in the mandated masks?

[nevergore]

Most naturally occurring minerals in the water is very beneficial to human development.
The water purification push came from the 60’s environmental push regarding Chemicals in the water from industrial and agricultural waste as well as the anti-fluoride crowd.
There are exceptions, some small areas have naturally occurring high levels of dangerous mineral deposits that leech into the water supply and need to be filtered out....

[HighSierra5]

Yes. Its the minerals that give water taste. If arsenic levels get beyond the ridiculous regulations we blend water from accessory wells.

[silent majority rising]

That was my first thought as well. Is lithium a reagent with flouride? How much could that chemical compound wreak? Would it reaaly lead to ‘Purity of Essence?’

My former doctor (now deceased) and good friend always said they should put Prozac in the water supply😎

Nothing like drugging people without their consent.
Was he a friend to Bill Cosby?...

I was on Lithium for a while. Messed up my stomach really bad and had practically zero therapeutic effect.
