Perhaps lithium can be obtained from healthy foods? Such as a Mediterranean or other diet with legumes, plants, whole grains, fruits? The good nutrition thought to help avoid dementia, as well as providing a bit of lithium?

Reference- search on dementia prevention, nutrition, and either Mayo Clinic or Harvard Nutrition Source.

Best wishes

Great idea but i do not think it will be enough. As a frame of reference, a therapeutic dose for bipolar is 300-600mg. I will be taking 5.

But to your point there is a large European study looking at populations in areas where lithium is contained naturally in the water source. And they have much lower rates of Alzheimers. There used to be a place in Georgia - name of town was Lithium Springs. But most of the spring is dried up now and what there is seems privately owned. And they bottle it for sale by the quart as I recall - at a ridiculous price.
