Lithium, the miracle nutrient
Why is lithium a “miracle”? Because it promotes nerve regeneration.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine: Energizing Your Brain
ALC nourishes brain cells, stimulates neurotransmitter production, and prevents cognitive decline. Handy tools for keeping that cognitive spark alive longer.
Phosphatidylserine: Guards Against Cognitive Decline
Stop cognitive erosion with PS (phosphatidylserine). Here's the ultimate conundrum: taking this nutrient will enable you to pronounce its name.
Dr. Smith's Renewal Research Newsletter for April 30, 2006
Have you ever felt as if your brain has turned into a huge sieve with really large holes? Or maybe a great big bowl of oatmeal? Well, you're not alone.Most of us, by the time we reach age 40 or so, have begun to experience at least a few of the early signs of what neuroscientists call age-related cognitive decline (ARCD), the loss of cerebral function caused by the death or dysfunction of nerve cells (neurons) in an aging brain. It's not as if we've suddenly become stupid. Our minds simply aren't as nimble as they used to be.
This issue of Renewal News is devoted to protecting and enhancing your brain. We all want our brains to work better, and most of us worry about what would happen if we lost our cognitive powers. People of all ages encounter difficulty with memory, attention, mood, and information processing.
Recent research has shown that the brain is remarkably adaptable and--when optimally nourished--capable of regeneration. We now have the ability to dramatically improve cerebral health and age-proof our brains.
We now know that ARCD is a preventable, reversible condition. Modern molecular medicine provides a wealth of useful information about how to nourish the health and healing of your brain cells while protecting them from injury. There is no question that we now can extend the useful lifespan of our brains, improve our cognitive powers, and defend ourselves from the major degenerative diseases like senile dementia, stroke, and Alzheimer’s.
The nutritional medicines described in this newsletter and in chapter 29 of my book, Renewal, will show you how to stave off these unwanted changes.
The information in this newsletter will help you protect and revitalize that crucial resource between your ears so you can keep your mind's fires burning as brightly as possible for as long as possible.
Renewal is within your reach!

Lithium: The Miracle Mineral
Our brain cells are under more or less continuous assault from free radicals, toxins, pollutants, and other damaging substances. Lithium actually protects us against this damage. And for those nerve cells that have suffered damage, this mineral promotes regeneration. The source of the damage doesn’t seem to matter: lithium appears to protect nerve cells from just about every substance known to harm brain cells. (More)
