“I'm quite convinced there's such a thing as a lithium deficiency disorder... lithium is a natural element and it's essential for human health in small amounts”
The expert believes there is such a thing as a lithium deficiency disorder, arguing lithium is an essential nutrient needed for human health in small amounts
“lowd dose nutritional lithium kind of was the answer um they have a family history of major mental illness they're aggressive they're irritable and just small amounts nutritional lithium was enough to kind of keep them um behaving”
Low-dose nutritional lithium helped aggressive, impulsive children with ADHD-like behavior stay in school and control violent impulses

“the amount of lithium in the tap water in our drinking water uh varied geographically...one part of Texas High lithium guess what they had low rates of suicide and mental illness another part of Texas had low lithium they had high rates...we've done these studies all around the globe and the amount of lithium in the tap water predicts exactly rates of suicide High lithium low rates”
Higher lithium levels in tap water are associated with lower rates of suicide and mental illness, based on studies conducted globally
“thousands of hair tests of kids with lithium when I started you know I'd get like 25 30% undetectable lithium in the hair now I'm seeing 75%”
Undetectable lithium levels in children's hair tests have increased dramatically from 25–30% to 75% over the expert's career, suggesting widespread nutritional lithium deficiency

“lithium sounds like it's something you treat bipolar patients with it's something that's we learned in medical school is toxic you have to measure blood levels and you don't want to take too much of it and you can get thyroid suppression...the difference between therapeutic uh medication pharmacologic Doses and nutritional lium therapy”
Nutritional lithium (low-dose) is distinct from pharmacologic lithium used to treat bipolar disorder, which requires blood level monitoring and carries risks like thyroid suppression
“I don't know if it's the bottled water we're not getting lithium from our natural tap water sources or other environmental things binding it but I I believe that's a factor”
Declining lithium in drinking water—possibly due to filtered or bottled water replacing tap water—is a contributing factor to the rise in child mental health problems
