Researchers found that amyloid plaques, a key feature of Alzheimer's, trap lithium carbonate (a form of lithium used to treat bipolar disorder), which then impairs the brain's immune cells. These cells become less effective at clearing plaques, leading to more lithium being trapped and worsening the condition.

The study suggests that lithium orotate, a different form of the mineral, is able to bypass the plaques and reach the neurons. In mouse models, a lithium-deficient diet led to increased amyloid plaques and other Alzheimer's-like symptoms. Conversely, low doses of lithium orotate nearly halted plaque formation in young mice and reduced plaques by 70% in older mice, resulting in a full recovery of cognitive function. Mechanism of Action: Lithium helps regulate a protein called GSK3 beta, which, when overactive due to lithium depletion, can lead to issues like tau phosphorylation and inflammation.

It is suggested that lithium orotate should be considered an essential micronutrient for brain health. The next step is to conduct human clinical trials to test the cognitive protective effects of lithium orotate.

1. Taurine in Neurons

Taurine is considered the most abundant free amino acid in the brain. Its presence and behavior in neurons are heavily documented:

• The Astrocyte Connection: Brain taurine is synthesized predominantly in neighboring support cells called astrocytes. Astrocytes metabolically couple with neurons, passing them a precursor (hypotaurine) which neurons convert into active taurine.
• Function in Neurons: Inside and around neurons, taurine acts as a powerful neuroprotectant, organic osmoregulator (controlling cell volume), and antioxidant.
• Neurotransmission: It is released into the synaptic space as a neuromodulator, binding to GABA and glycine receptors on neurons to calm hyperexcitation and prevent cell damage.

2. Luteolin in Neurons

Luteolin is a natural flavonoid found in vegetables like parsley, broccoli, and carrots. It is not manufactured by human brain tissue, but it is routinely detected within neuronal structures following ingestion:
• Crossing the Barrier: Luteolin is highly lipophilic, allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier and directly enter brain tissues.
• Intracellular Action: Once inside the brain, luteolin directly interacts with hippocampal and cortical neurons. Research shows it accumulates within neurons to inhibit harmful signaling pathways (like mTOR/NF-κB), block tau hyperphosphorylation, and prevent glutamate-induced neuronal death.
• Microglial Intermediation: In addition to entering neurons directly, luteolin acts heavily on microglia (the brain's immune cells) to stop them from secreting toxins that kill nearby neurons.

I have only taken Structures silver for the last 2 days and notice I get a stomach ache after taking it. One teaspoon of 30ppm.

Any suggestions? Is this normal?

I've only had a cold but... yeah I dunno. Not nice.

Anyway I diluted the Apple Cider Vinegar probably not as much as I should have done and gargled with it probably longer than I should have (both things I'm working on! ) and... I could sleep! Yay!

This isn't the first time I've felt it's worked either. It's worked about 4 times for me since I've had this cold.

So yeah! Be careful of your teeth as I need to reign in how I do it, but it does seem to work well!

1 or 2 tsp in glass of water and drink

should use natural pine tree resin turpentine

Turpentine (derived from pine tree resin) was historically used in folk medicine to expel intestinal worms

I ended up using 500 mg beta glucan capsule that has 70 percent guaranteed beta glucan..This keeps it under control. Since I am old, I will use it daily.

I also use liposomal Vitamin C on and off.

I take magnesium taurate for any cramps.

Sepsis is a risk.

I had clogged ears off and on for a year. Every time I take a shower my ears will clog. When I wake up the clogged feeling would move from one ear to the other. Well I started drinking Body Armor drinks and it has b-vitamins, vitamin A, potassium and coconut water. Well I noticed my ears felt 80% better after drinking the drinks for four days. I’m realizing dehydration could be a contributing factor in ear health as well as nutritional deficiencies.

Two topicals that I would mention are 1) Stopain Roll On which is available at Walmart and Amazon. Here is a link to it :

https://www.amazon.com/Stopain-Strength-Temporarily-Relieves-Arthritis/dp/B07CTRBGHC/ref=sr_1_1?

And 2) Melatonin Lotion (ML) which I explain how I make it here :

https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html

You might read some of the replies to get an idea of what users have found it helpful for.

I have also used both together at the same time, which seems to be slightly better than either one alone. The melatonin also has some healing effects whereas Stopain is mainly pain relief. Both reduce inflammation.

The supplements I am aware of don't boost the immune system, but rather help the immune system to operate closer to how it is meant to operate. Several that come to mind quickly are vitamin D, Zinc, magnesium glycinate selenium and melatonin. There are others, but these ones have significant studies that tend to support their usage for the support of your immune system.

The combination of vitamin D / VDR , melatonin, magnesium glycinate, selenium and zinc also have potential synergy.

Your doctor needs to approve your usage of these supplements for your safety and to be sure they will be compatible with any medications you are taking.

Please keep us updated on your progress.

Kidney disease has increased in some recent research, but not all and there are multiple reason's for this. Several common reasons are hypertension, diabetes, aging and obesity.

You didn't give your age, Mo, but a common reason for frequent urination at night is an enlarged prostate/Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and this commonly starts to show symptoms in men after age 40, but actually begins much earlier. Usually these frequent trips to the bathroom at night are accompanied by reduced urine flow or as one friend described to me, SOS or a dit, dash and drop of urine at a more advanced stage.

I have seen several friends find some relief from BPH by applying melatonin gel to their perineum in the morning and in the evening about an hour or two before bedtime. The benefit seems to appear quickly if the symptoms are relatively new, but takes about a month if the symptoms have been around for quite awhile. Regular application is important. I explain how I make melatonin gel here :

https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-gel.html

Melatonin lotion or melatonin gel also offer some pain relief for certain causes such as fibromyalgia and many other pain issues as was discussed in the reply posts at this link :

https://www.earthclinic.com/supplements/melatonin-lotion.html

Warning : It is imperative that you get your doctor's approval and supervision before using either of the above because there are other potential causes besides BPH for the symptoms you described and your doctor can make sure it will be compatible with any medications you are taking. Your doctor will also determine if you actually have BPH or some other health issue.

Please keep us posted on your progress, Mo, if your doctor approves this usage.
