Lithium decreases boosts brainpower, prevents dementia, and extends lifespan

Mighty Mineral Staves Off Dementia AND Extends Lifespan? (wow!)

Think there couldn’t possibly be anything WORSE than being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD)?

How about the fact that after a diagnosis, the average life expectancy is just 4.5 years?

Of course, AD doesn’t start out as a full-blown disease. The first stage is mild cognitive impairment (MCI) – memory loss and cognitive decline that don’t affect normal function.

Mainstream docs will tell you there’s NO treatment for MCI – basically, shorthand for NO prescription drugs to better your cognitive state.

But Big Pharma keeps rolling out PLENTY of drugs for AD – all expensive, dangerous, and practically useless.

Luckily, there IS hope in this “battle for your brain”…

Because research revealed a mighty mineral shows great promise in helping improve cognitive performance… prevent Alzheimer’s… and even extend longevity.

From the Earth to Your Brain

If you have MCI, it can take YEARS before an AD diagnosis is made.

And at that point, conventional doctors will tell you that all you can do is just WAIT around to die — for most, a slow, painful, and grueling death.

But lithium, a mineral found in the Earth’s crust, could make a BIG difference… and lead to a HAPPIER ending.

Now, you may have heard that lithium is dangerous – and in fact, high-dose lithium carbonate IS used as a drug for severe illness.

But it’s not the same as microdosing with lithium orotate, which has been used to safely protect brain function for DECADES.

A meta-analysis of 232 seniors with MCI and AD found that lithium treatment significantly decreased cognitive decline, compared to placebo… and led to “beneficial effects” on cognitive performance.

In another study, seniors with MCI or AD were treated with lithium or a placebo for two years.

Unfortunately, the placebo group continued to show cognitive and functional decline as the study progressed.

But members of the lithium group showed stable cognitive function – and even more exciting, scored HIGHER in memory and attention tests.

Another study found that folks whose drinking water contained high lithium levels were 17 percent less likely to develop dementia, compared to folks whose water contained barely a trace.

Another bonus? Lithium helped them LIVE LONGER.

You see, the body needs lithium to absorb vitamin B12, which is critical for brain and mood support.

In fact, a B12 deficiency is recognized as a cause of a reversible dementia – and sometimes mistaken for AD.

Lithium also boosts production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) – a protein that helps create NEW brain cells and strengthen the hippocampus, which is linked to memory.

Safeguarding Your Brain

Friend, low dose lithium orotate can provide real hope for folks with MCI or a high risk for AD – or even folks over 60 who want to protect their brain.

It’s found in certain foods, including cereals, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, nutmeg, coriander seeds, and cumin… and in the drinking water of many local communities.

But to ensure you’re getting a brain-protective level, I recommend a lithium orotate supplement.

Most people take 5 to 10 mg daily, and some take up to 20 mg.

Reliable products are available from many manufacturers, including Vital Nutrients, Klaire, and KAL.

As always, speak to your doctor first, or work with an experienced integrative or function medicine doctor.

P.S. Lithium isn’t the ONLY brain protector – and Alzheimer’s deflector – the mainstream wants to keep hidden. There’s lots more where that came from in my Brain Rescue Protocol. Learn more by checking out this valuable online learning tool today.
