In 1957, my father sent me an article from St Catharine's Press, Ontario, Canada about the aluminum in WearEver Aluminum Cookware causing mental problems from food being cooked in it obtaining aluminum particles. I had bought a new set of WearEver Aluminum Cookware and I trashed it. In 1961, I met a new friend in the complex where we moved...and saw she was using an aluminum coffeemaker. I showed her the article...and she was penny-wise and pound foolish. She didn't get rid of her coffeemaker. We were friends for a long time and 20 years later she was diagnosed with Alzheimers Disease, which eventually killed her. I have studied health and nutrition for many years...and know how toxic aluminum, and thimerosal (mercury) are; and they have been in childhood vaccines for years slowly damaging the glands, organs and cells lowering intelligence.. The bloodstream carries the substances to the glands in the brain..its function is to carry nutrients...not toxic matter, which would harm the glands. They provide the ability to think, learn, remember, emotional development, behavior, speech, motor skills and more. How can medical doctors be so ignorant about the function of the bloodstream? it was designed to carry nutrients to nourish the organs , glands and cells...providing energy and health. It was not designed for the financial benefit of the Vaccine Industry's Bottom Line..

Excellent post....and thank you for sharing. As to "...how can medical doctors be so ignorant about".....anything? I long ago quit thinking that credentialed allopathic physicians were ignorant about anything. Med school, is I believe, a massive psy-op designed to instill in "doctors" a sense of superior knowledge ethics and wisdom that transcends all other human endeavors. The covid charade laid them bare and naked in the middle of the road - having steered millions of people to their deaths for the sake of a revenue stream. Even today....the many blogs of newly alert and awakened physicians, still seek to maintain the notion that "mistakes have been made, but we still know best." Most all coming out of the medical industry is deception and misrepresentation. They are in fact a very dark profession that has nothing to do with human health and at its core, perhaps the most ghoulish endeavor in many centuries.

Thank you. You have the true picture of what is going on. I really pray that more people will awaken to the truth...and the whole corrupt system would be gone. ignorance is not bliss..It has harmed humanity.majorly.

What was surprising to me during covid were doctors who started talking about a healthy diet. Some of them expressed disappointment in their curriculum which included less than one day of information about food and health. I took my mother in law for radiation therapy as she had cancer. Part of her treatment were sessions with a dietitian. I followed discussions about the role of sugar in feeding cancer and asked the dietitian about it. She laughed it off and said, no, you can have sugar, that is an old wives tale. I understood how a diabetic friend of mine can argue that she should not consume fat because it will increase her blood sugar......

Registered Dietitians are trained on information coming from the Food Industry. I learned this fact in 1982. I had been doing studies and experimentation on nutrition, since 1961...and wanted to get nutrition credits for a Master's Degree...when I learned that the information that was being taught came from the Food Industry...I simply took a test offered by a university...and got an A+. I put a note at the bottom of the test: I provided the answers you required, but they are not necessarily the truth." I saw that the Food Industry had helped set up this test.

Denise's avatar

Sugar absolutely feeds cancer! That is widely known. Just like vaccines cause autism, and Statins cause dementia. Registered Dietitians, like doctors, are ignorant as hell! Don’t follow their guidance! 🙄

That was an agenda that doctors were in on.

I am detoxing Aluminum now too - after reading books by Dennis N Crouse, and Christopher Exley.

In examining my exposures to Aluminum, I learned that the makeup I’ve used DAILY for about 30 YEARS, contains Aluminum.

I’m 71, and Aluminum is cumulative - so doing the math - I imagine I may have quite a little ‘stockpile’ built up. Though I was already vax-hesitant, so I missed out on the Aluminum adjuvants, and I have a BUNN coffee pot, that doesn’t appear to use Aluminum heating element parts - but I have eaten my share of M&Ms, candy colorants - contain Aluminum. And, water treatment processes, tho considered GRAS - generally regarded as safe - how many GRAS add up to unsafe? 🤷‍♀️

Anyway - THANK YOU for bringing this important element up!!

There is a way to slowly remove aluminum from the body, as pioneered by Drs Crouse and Exley. You obviously are up to speed on this, Jody, but for those who aren’t, Dr Yoho has an excellent Substack article addressing it:

Aluminum is in so many things. Those around in the 60's and 70's used the Teflon and aluminum pans, foil for most cooking, canned foods, food bags lined with it...

I did a heavy metal test and aluminum was the only high number I had. I did a paper on the dangers of it in college many years ago and stopped using it, yet I'm full of it now! I'm sure I have a ton of plastic too.

Jody Eddings's avatar

I’m detoxing Aluminum using Silica, found high in Fiji water at 93 mg’s per liter. Silica binds tightly to Aluminum in the body (tissues and bones) and is then excreted. I buy it by the case, or let Amazon deliver to my porch - it’s heavy! But it’s also in BPA-Free bottles (whatever exactly that means).

In Crouse’s book, there’s a testimony of 75 yo man with 78% arterial blockage - reducing it TO 9-12%, in 7 months between tests. By drinking 1 liter of Fiji water daily in between. That’s an 84% reduction in blockage in 7 months! (Pages 193-195)

His CRP also reduced from 3.59 to 1.05. Homocysteine and BP also reduced to normal ranges. I think that reflects the level of inflammation the Aluminum toxicity was causing!!

Also, Crouse was able to halt his mother’s mild dementia and CVD (stents) for the rest of her life - and is why he started the ALZ research.

I read both books - one by Dennis N Crouse, and one Christopher Exley. Exley is on Substack - and replied in comments here as well.

Denise's avatar

Thank you for your comment. Wouldn’t taking Lithium Orotate from a lab be a synthetic version vs. lithium found in foods/diet?

Marie's avatar

You are the first one I’ve read that’s commented on this extremely interesting interview. I was so convinced by Dr Nehls’ that I ran out to buy the supplement but was hoping more people would speak up to address this. Thank you for doing so and I hope Dr McCullough will address this too! Wouldn’t this be something if Alzheimer’s numbers would decrease with just 1 mg of an essential mineral?

Maria's avatar

I saw the interview and now lithium orotate is part of my nightly routine. I sleep better and am more relaxed.

Pilgrim's avatar

An essential mineral you can't buy OTC in Canada and I think Europe too. Rx only, but try convincing a “doctor” to write it for you.

Bev Dixon's avatar

How does one find a good safe supplement of this essential mineral?

William Foster's avatar

Why is Alzheimer's practically an epidemic now as opposed to, say, 60 years ago?

Robyn S's avatar

Dr Christopher Exley ('Mr Aluminium') - see https://drchristopherexley.substack.com/ & https://drchristopherexley.substack.com/p/alzheimers-disease-is-caused-by-aluminium - would also suggest that excessive Al can lead to Alzheimer's as well. Whether or not this is because Al fills in - or displaces - Li or other essential minerals due to dietary issues or body poisons levels is unclear to me. But taking in waters rich in silicic acid (eg Fiji water) tends to reduce the Al in the brain, thus reversing or stopping symptoms of Al poisoning (eg Alzheimer's).

Randy's avatar

The orthosilicic acid (OSA) in Fiji water is an excellent way to remove aluminum, but even more effective is nonalcoholic beer. Green beans are also in the running.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2744664/

“A significant increase in urinary Si over a 6 h period was observed following the ingestion of orthosilicic acid and alcohol-free beer”

“the percentage of the [Si] dose excreted in urine over the 6 h period was highest from MMST (64·0%) and alcohol-free beer (60·1%), followed by green beans (43·6%), orthosilicic acid (43·1%)”

Robyn S's avatar

Well, I rather like green beans, but not a fan of beer - alcoholic or otherwise! :-D

Thanks for the heads up :-)

Don's avatar

Great question - this is rarely addressed in the many discussions I’ve read over the past few years (my wife is in her fourth year of dealing with Alzheimer’s).

Sorry to hear that Don.

Low levels of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D are a strong risk factor for neurodegeneraton, such as Parkinsons disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy etc. Please see the research cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.3. Also: https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Vitamin+D%22+Alzheimer%27s .

Our immune systems can only function properly with at least 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L = 1 part in 20,000,000 by mass) circulating (in the bloodstream) 25-hydroxyvitamin D. This is produced, primarily in the liver, from ingested or skin-produced vitamin D3 cholecalciferol. This is 2.5 times what many doctors think is necessary for good health, but they are only considering the needs of the kidney in its role of regulating calcium-phosphate-bone metabolism. They do this by hydroxylating 25-hydroxyvitamin D again, on the number 1 carbon, to produce calcitriol (1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D) which goes into circulation where it acts as a hormone (a long distance, blood-borne, signaling molecule) to affect the behavior of multiple cell types all around the body which are involved in calcium, phosphate and bone metabolism.

This is the one hormonal function of the three (broadly) vitamin D compounds. This very low, stable, level of circulating calcitriol does not affect the immune system. Neither vitamin D3 nor 25-hydroxyvitamin D act as hormones. They are not signaling molecules. Many types of immune cell need a good supply of 25-hydroxyvitamin D to run their intracrine (inside each cell) and paracrine (to nearby cells) signaling systems, which are crucial to their ability to alter their behavior in response to their changing conditions. These signaling systems are unrelated to hormonal signaling and to the very low level of circulating calcitriol. Because there are no peer-reviewed tutorials on these signaling systems, because all doctors, immunologists and vitamin D researchers need to understand them and because very few of them do, I wrote this non-peer-reviewed tutorial in 2020: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/02-intracrine/ . A less detailed tutorial is: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#02-compounds .

The best recommendations for how much vitamin D3 to supplement, in order to attain 50 ng/mL or more circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (it takes a few months), without the need for blood tests or medical monitoring, come from New Jersey based Professor of Medicine, Sunil Wimalawansa. The quantity to supplement, on average, per day, depends on body weight and obesity status, since obesity reduces the ability of the liver to hydroxylate vitamin D3 and increases the rate at which this and 25-hydroxyvitamin D are lost in excess adipose tissue: https://5nn.info/temp/250hd-obesity/.

For 70 kg (154 lb) body weight, without obesity, a good amount of vitamin D3 to supplement on average per day, is 125 micrograms, also known as 5000 IU: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#00-how-much.

This is a gram every 22 years - and, a few years ago (ca. 2020) pharma-grade vitamin D3 cost about USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory.

There's very little vitamin D in food, including that which is fortified with vitamin D3 or the less effective vitamin D2. There is enough to protect against the severe deficiency which leads to rickets - soft and deformed bones in childhood. However no amount of food consumption can provide the vitamin D3, about 1/4 of which is converted to circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which our immune systems need to operate properly.

Ultraviolet B skin exposure can generate the vitamin D3 we need to attain 50 ng/mL circulating hydroxyvitamin D, by breaking a bond in 7-dehydrocholesterol. However, it also damages DNA, and so kills cells and predisposes those which survive to cancer. Sufficient UV-B to attain 50 ng/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D for white-skinned people is only naturally available in the middle of cloud-free summer days, without intervening clothing, sunscreen or glass. Those with brown or black skin would require very long exposures to attain the 25-hydroxyvitamin D they need to be healthy. All such UV-B light damages DNA and so raises the risk of skin cancer. Fortunately vitamin D3 capsules and tablets are inexpensive and can be used all year round.

Prof. Wimalawansa told me that the most common response to his decades-long efforts at raising awareness of the need for proper vitamin D3 supplementation among fellow doctors is: "How could it be true? Its too simple."

It is simple and true. No amount of food, exercise, drugs, vaccines or monoclonal antibodies can attain full health as long as circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are significantly below 50 ng/mL, as they are today for most Americans - especially the elderly and those with dark or black skin.

Age-related dementia surely develops over decades, so proper vitamin D3 supplementation for decades before is likely necessary to fully reduce the risk of this developing. Ordinary vitamin D3 supplementation is unlikely to reverse neurodegeneration, but may slow its progression.

It is also possible that very high 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, such as those attained with the medically supervised Coimbra protocol, may significantly slow, halt or even reverse some neurodegenerative damage. See the research cited and discussed at: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/06-adv/ . This page also concerns how most people today, without helminth (intestinal worm) infections, have excessively strong inflammatory immune responses, which involve indiscriminate cell destruction, an immune response which is generally directed at multicellular parasites, and which helminths have evolved chemicals which suppress these responses. Our ancestors were ubiquitously infested with helminths and evolved overly strong inflammatory responses to counter the persistent down-regulation of these by the helminths.

See my further pointers to research in my comment at: https://imahealth.org/forums/groups/public-forum/forum/discussion/on-protocols-with-parkinsons-lewy-body/ , which includes a video of a man playing the piano after having his Parkinson's disease treated with the Coimbra Protocol, and some discussion of using fenbendazole and/or Ivermectin to treat neurodegenerative conditions.

The most important group of people to prioritize for proper vitamin D3 supplementation are women of childbearing age, since high maternal and neonatal 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels greatly reduce the risk of preeclampsia and pre-term birth and of mental retardation, schizophrenia, ADHD and autism in the child: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.2.

This is all excellent information on the importance of D, but the question remains, Why is dementia so prevalent now? What is so different from the era before WW II? How about the massive increase in chemicals , plastics, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, combined with a sugar-laden diet of ultra-processed food, largely devoid of nutrients.

As noted above, lab researchers Exley and Dennis N Crouse have published books on their findings that aluminum is causative of a range of neurological conditions including Alzheimers.

Carol_007's avatar

Many dementias are vascular/arterial and brought on by strokes and cardio issues. I guess we can blame the chemicals and poisoned food for that too since they affect the arteries.

Dr Christopher Exley's avatar

It is certainly true that Alzheimer's disease is wholly avoidable. The peer-reviewed published science is clear, no aluminium in the brain no Alzheimer's disease, see for example, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-64734-6

Lori's avatar

Wonder if "vaccines" have played a part in development of Alzheimers considering the mercury and aluminum adjuvants or other nasty additives????

Peter Daniel Miller's avatar

Yes, for the very reasons you mention, plus as Dr Nehls says in the interview, neuro-inflammation caused by the mRNA spike protein impairs the ability of the hippocampus to produce new neurons. That's where today's memories come from. A shrinking hippocampus is a bio-marker for Alzheimer's.

Jody Eddings's avatar

Yes - reference Christopher Exley and/ or Dennis N Crouse. There are MANY exposures to Aluminum through skin (makeup) and digestion (coffee pot heating elements, cookware, food processing equipment, etc) - but, yes, injecting it into the bloodstream is likely the worst and greatest volume and toxicity - I’m assuming. Detox with Silica, found high in Fiji water.

Detoxing metals - especially the aluminum and other toxic metals that the US DoD and private foreign companies are saturating our skies with - is probably a better way to start healing all of our brains.

That was the icing on the cake we were allowed to see. But behind all of the global public health agreements and well-funded NGO structures, there were central bankers and the Global Financial Elites planning and directing the resources to make this entire shit show happen.

Doing some random reading decades ago in an encyclopaedia Britannica I read that tobacco was the highest accumulator of lithium in the plant world. I've read more than a little on lithium over the years mainly in looking at cancer and other chronic diseases, other than what Dr nehls spoke of it is lithiums powerful antifungal effect that interested me, cancer is simply a fungal disease and everything that has an effect on cancer is without exception antifungal. Google chronic diseases associated with malassezia yeast and everything the good doctor said will become even clearer. If that piques your interest google pancreatic cancer and malassezia Aykut et al.

Very enlightening interview, thanks for posting. Dr Nehls has found that a healthy hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for short-term memory, adds new nerve cells every day. These new neurons locate the experiences of the day in time and space and files them in the brain for later recall when needed. If this ability to produce new neurons is disrupted, by too much alcohol, by chronic stress, by mRNA-generated spike protein, by inflammation, etc., then the ability to form new memories is compromised. The hippocampus shrinks, and that is in fact a bio-marker for impending Alzheimer's. The good news according to Dr Nehls is that this can be reversed with lithium, preferably lithium orotate, which shuts down brain inflammation. This was apparently so well-known in the 1920s and 1930s that the popular drink 7-up had lithium in it (1 mg per glass), seven being the atomic weight of lithium, and up-regulation of mood its effect. The FDA sponsored a study in 1949 in which lithium chloride was substituted for salt (sodium chloride), but in order to have any discernible effect on taste, the dosage had to be raised a thousand-fold, to such toxic levels that several human experimental subjects died. This gave the FDA the ammunition it needed to ban lithium as a supplement, even at the recommended 1 mg level. Why the FDA did this, Dr Nehls suggests, is that with the recommended 1-mg nutritional dose, the pharmaceutical industry's drugs would become worthless. (The covid-vax was by far not the first instance of the government/pharma playbook.) Dr Nehls also mentions other nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, as essential for the enzymes that conduct impulses across nerve synapses. There's much more in the interview. This is one of the most memorable: 'When you shut down the ability of the hippocampus to produce new nerve cells, you shut down the ability to be human.'

I learned TODAY!? At 72yrs old. Thank you for that. If a true fact, i did not know that,

"...7-up had lithium in it (1 mg per glass), seven being the atomic weight of lithium, and up-regulation of mood its effect. " But then there is the enormous amount of suger in 7-Up.

Ai assisted:

That is why i never drank/drink 7-Up, Coca-Cola or that green stuff called; "Mountain Dew Mouth," a severe dental condition where the drink's pH of 3.22 and high levels of citric acid and high fructose corn syrup rapidly erode tooth enamel and feed cavity-causing bacteria, leading to extensive decay and tooth loss.

Ai assisted:

7 Li: Approximately 92.41% abundance with an atomic mass of 7.016 u.

6Li: Approximately 7.59% abundance with an atomic mass of 6.015 u.

Do your research with Ai assistence on "What is lithium orotate"

Where Ai informed me with;

Lithium orotate is a chemical compound that combines the mineral lithium with orotic acid, sold over-the-counter as a low-dose dietary supplement.

Proposed Uses and Claims

• Mood and Brain Health: Proponents market the supplement to support emotional wellness, stress resilience, and cognitive function.

• The Science: Strong, large-scale clinical trials proving its effectiveness for mood disorders or preventing cognitive decline in humans are lacking, and medical experts caution that claims outpace actual scientific evidence.

Safety and Risks

• Side Effects: Even at low over-the-counter doses, lithium is processed by the kidneys, meaning improper use or underlying kidney and thyroid issues can still carry risks.

• Interactions: It can interact with medications like diuretics, NSAIDs, and prescription psychiatric drugs.

If you are considering taking lithium orotate, would you like to share what specific health or wellness goals you are hoping to address, or any medications you are currently taking?
