I was in two hospitals for an alleged bipolar disorder. I was given lithium carbonate and a drug called consta. The first hospital was one month, and the second was six months, 7 months total. After being in the second hospital for 3 months, I noticed that when I woke up in the morning, I’d urinate on my leg uncontrollably. I told my doctor and he said it was a prostrate problem. I also noticed that my foot shook uncontrollably sometimes. I also noticed that my cognitive abilites were severely impaired, I couldn’t read more than one page of a newspaper. The drugs were making me a retard too. When I got out of the second hospital in April of ‘09, I went to the internet to look up the side effects of lithium. The internet said lithium interferes with ability of the thyroid to produces thyxroxin, lithium damges the kidneys, and causes tremors and causes chronic fatigue. When I got out of the hospitial, I stopped taking all drugs, because I had all of these symptoms. The only symptoms that went away after discontinuing the drugs were the uncontrollable urination (which was indication of kidney damage) and the foot tremors. I still had severe impaired cognitive abilities, I couldnt’ remember what I read and I was forgetful. I also had severe chronic fatigue which didn’t go away, and I also had sleeping problems, waking up at 2:30 or 3:00 am in the morning. After sleeping 12 to 15 hours, I still felt exhausted. In September, I noticed that I started to get sick with a cold EVERY DAY, which indicated that the drugs gave me an IMPAIRED IMMUNE system. And the sleeping problem got worse, I started to wake up 3 times during the night instead of one time during the night. I said to myself. Since Medical Doctors can’t fix chronic conditions, I went to a Chinese acupuncturist. His treatment helped me with the chronic fatigue and he strengthened my immune system, and my cognitive abilites started to come back, but I was still forgetful. I noticed that before acupuncture, my body temperature was 97.5 and after acupuncture, it went to 98.1 degrees. The acupuncture helped with the sleeping problem (stopped waking up 3 times per night) but didn’t cure it, because I still woke up one time per night. About one week ago I started taking an oral EDTA product to reduce my blood pressure and this product cured my sleeping problem. And I noticed I had more energy and I didn’t wake up during the night, I slept the whole night through. As a chemist, I can only conclude that Lithium interfered with the coenzymes in the mitochondria of the cell, which produces ATP which is an molecule that gives the body heat and energy. By the lithium in my tissues interfering with the function of billions of mitochondria, my body was not producing enough ATP, which led to chronic fatigue, low body temperature, and a sleeping problem. According to the internet, LITHIUM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE IN THE HUMAN BODY. In my opinion, lithium is a poison like lead and mercury. To talk lithium is nuts. I think Psychiatrists are quacks. If you want to have chronic fatigue and act like a retard, then continue to take your lithium. If you want to have low body temperature and hypothroidism, then take your blasted lithium. I prefer to work for a living rather than being disabled. I can only conclude that the EDTA is taking all of the lithium out of my body, that’s why I’m recovering right now. In six months, I’ll have normal blood pressure, and I won’t need to take the bullshit blood pressure medicine like the rest of the population.

Keep taking your medication.

Thank you for getting these links out for everyone. I am in a bipolar family. Out of the 6 cousins on my Mom’s side 4 are bipolar. Each one is hit differently and has a different path to recovery. Each fought medication and none are completely stable. Our story is here. wwww.life4mebyme.blogspot.com
