Serenity Naturopathic Brain Supplement (Lithium Orotate)

[Katinka]

Since I have been studying naturopathy and all the different combinations and healing possibilties I do believe there are WAY MANY other herbs and natural remedies we don't even think of.
Many native cultures have used and still us botanical substances to heal and cure their illnesses. I believe there is a REASON for each an every thing on this earth.
If you ask me medical and scientific investigations are just beginning to learn
all about this. Could be native people are far ahead to the so called "modern
and western Medicine".
I've been on all kinds of natural herb supplements each one fits the other and they do really help. Ofcourse it needs a long time and continuous intake to show results.

Even though this supplement (serenity) is a less potent form of the medication lithium used in bipolor disorder, its use can potentially be problematic in those with thyroid disease or who may develop thyroid disease. Just a couple short excerpts from this article about the problems which may also be encountered in those using the OTC version of lithium. If interested other problems are also mentioned in the complete article:

Lithium and Thyroid Disease -Thyroid Impact of Lithium Treatment for Bipolar Disease

"Patients with bipolar disorder are often surprised to learn that thyroid problems are a common side effect of the drug lithium, which is a common treatment for bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression. Experts don't understand the exact mechanism, but the drug lithium can prevent your thyroid from functioning properly. Lithium is known to cause goiter (an enlarged thyroid), as well as hypothyroidism, and chronic autoimmune thyroiditis. There is also a link to hyperthyroidism in some patients.

Goiter is the most common thyroid-related side effect of lithium, and is through to occur in approximately half of all patients treated with lithium. Goiter usually develops within the first two years of treatment. With a lithium-induced goiter, your thyroid can enlarge to as much as twice its normal size."

"In order to help patients taking lithium understand more about the thyroid-related effects, I looked up what the experts say in UpToDate -- a trusted electronic reference that is used by many physicians: Because of the high incidence of goiter and hypothyroidism that occurs during lithium treatment, patients should have a careful thyroid physical examination and determination of serum TSH and antithyroid antibody titers before lithium treatment is begun. Patients with normal thyroid function at that time should be reevaluated every six to 12 months for several years. If thyroid function is abnormal at the initial evaluation, lithium can still be given if necessary but the thyroid dysfunction should be treated."

This can be a useful supplement for many but the wisest course would be to make sure thyroid function is monitored as discussed above, even for the OTC version of this supplement.

Please take it slow with all of these "cures" for morgellons. We have all been over whelmed by the different theories and opinions for this problem. Because it is a desperate situation we have found our selves in... we tend to do desperate things for a "cure". We have read and heard so much crap about this morgellons that it just has to be some wacked out, crazy thing. I say keep it simple.
You know the saying...if you hear hooves, think horse, not zebra.
Get down to basics. You can do some very damaging things for a short term "cure". Any one that has had this a while knows there is a cycle to this. It starts with the weirdo bug bites and the crawling and movement on the skin.

Have you been burning any candles or inscence with strong sweet or flowery aroma recently? How about the things that people can plug in the electrical sockets that they sell at the grocery store. Think back. Vanilla was my favorite scent to burn. This is an invitation to the bug/mites and they come to the party in droves. Get rid of this sweet/floral stuff PRONTO. We invited them in... now it's time to tell them to get the hell out!!!
Buy your self the best essential oil NEBULIZER that you can afford. I bought mine from my acupuncture doctor, but you can buy one on line. Remember, not just a diffuser but a nebulizer.
The essential oil mix I use in the nebulizer: All the things that repel the bugs
tea tree, niaoli, thyme, citronella, lavender, and a few others in the mix that I have to get back to you on, as I can't read the writing of my doctor. I will get back to you on monday with the total ingredients.This works in a few hours. Run the nebulizer at full blast. Start in your bedroom if that is where you feel this critters the most then move to your couch area. I am not kidding, they will be gone in a few hours!. The bug/mites are history. I am sure there will be some residual eggs left behind, but just turn it on again. Don't forget to vacume.
We are breaking the cycle of Morgellons in a natural and healthy way. When we break the cycle all things are possible.
I know alot of people use essential oils, but it is the way that they are delivered to the enviroment that matters the most. Please be opened minded about the nebulizer. It will work. Thank you, Janice

Hi "Janice"! Thank you for posting this, so very many, many times for us.
I will NEVER give up hope that a safe, affordable cure is possible for us. We deserve that!
I think Slow Down is likely NOT a viable option for a Morgellon's victim suffering, without help, for 30 years, that can't work.
Nor for a mother whose children are screaming at night, from pain and she doesn't know how to help them...
Please stop by the Treatment Forum, which is also the proper place for any VERY aggressive sales agendas:

Good to see you again and to know that you are still going the acupuncture route. Did the acupuncturist I sent information to you about a couple years ago work out?
