The study, but not this writeup, talks to lithium curbing kidney cell senescence, which means it works to prevent the cell from becoming old and useless.

As we age, our body fills with cells and proteins that do not work right, yet, are not able to be removed, because those processes are also broken. The cells fill up space and are minimally alive, but produce almost nothing of use. Much of this is due to the cells’ energy producers, mitochondria, no longer properly working.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

So we can extend our lives by occasionally snacking on old laptop batteries ?

Is that the same Lithium used to make electric car batteries? I thought there was a shortage of lithium.

Low dose lithium, which I take almost every day, is 5 mg in the orotate or aspartate form that are well absorbed in the human body. It is not only the kidneys but also the brain that are protected by low dose lithium. High dose lithium carbonate, which has been used as a psychiatric drug since the 1940s, is not well absorbed, which is the reason for the high dose. I don’t know about the physiology of lithium chloride, or whether it has any proper medicinal use.

Fisetin removes them.

Do you have a dose suggestion? 5 mgs doesn’t seem like much.
