Next is to put Ritalin in the water...I wonder if the psychiatrist will drink the water then? Sounds like a psychotic psychiatrist to me to allow lithium to be put into the water supply when people that are already prescribed to it already experience severe side effects.


Ritalin and LSD? that would be an intresting combination, but after too long I am pretty sure everyone would be completely insane.

Would someone please tell the voices in my head that I am not insane?

Thank you.

This was in the Republic of Ireland, not UK.

If you think suggesting it is scary, what about that sentence that says it's already been DONE in parts of Texas ? :!:


My mistake, I can get them confused with Scotland. Maybe someday I'll get it right who wears the dress in that relationship.

Some parts of Texas have lithium in their water sources naturally due to the minerals in the region.. Nobody added it.

Bad idea my grandpa almost died from long term use of lithium.

As far the article goes....Instead of poisoning people against their will, the government should look for ways to improve the community and to give hope to young people during an economic crisis. Young people are depressed because they still live at home or in poverty with poor life quality, and no jobs. Why is that not the big issue?


No! Making peoples lives better would make them happier and be more productive overall? Really? No! That's just too much trouble! Dope is the only way!


Isn't it interesting how harmful drugs are pushed on people as good things, but then street drugs get you landed in jail?

I really cannot fully fathom how people can be so stupid. A drug's acceptance seems to have nothing to do with its actual effect, but more to do with who pushes it. Drug dealer bad. Pharmaceutical dealer good. (Not that I'm for illegal drugs. I think just about all drugs are bad in most situations.).

I've come up with a slogan for it. "Feeling down? Don't drink it away, lithium it away!"

People on prescribed lithium should be monitored as it can build up in the body. My aunt almost died a few years ago from taking the dosage she was prescribed. She was in a coma for 6 weeks. I assume he's talking about misiscule amounts (or maybe not), but he must be insane if he thinks this is a safe thing to do.

I don't agree with adding fluoride to water to prevent tooth decy either. My friend grew up in Dublin, where fluoride was added to water for many years and he has fluorosis (very badly stained teeth), due to consuming too much.


And it's been shown to lower IQ even in small doses, and you can't determine the amount a person will be getting because some drink much more water than others, and some people notably those with weak kidneys are more susceptible to its negative effects, and it builds up in the bones of people over their life time.


The catch is we allowed them to get away with the nonsense that is fluoridation and allowed the precedence to be set for adding lithium to water.

They touted this lithium crap in japan too.

A nice vid of the former Senior Vice President of EPA's Headquarters Union addressing congress.

And some areas have radioactive stuff in the water from uranium mine fracking.

The lithium was in the water without human intervention, and before human (including Indian) settlement. The same is often the case for radioactive elements- especially radon.

lithium as in the prescription? The guy is smoking something and needs his own psyche evaluation. If that happens we will be drinking bottled water.

Elemental lithium? The trace mineral well that might not be as bad an idea as a lot of people are deficient in that and a trace mineral in miniscule amounts naturally occurs in some places. It would honestly be preferable to have people treated individually though and not just give the whole herd the same treatment regardless of whether it is needed or not.

It's a slippery slope when the government starts adding stuff to the water though and frankly I'd rather buy my own lithium(trace element) for the rest of my life then have the government medicate me for it. Somehow it frightens me that the government wants us docile and dumb.

Lithium carbonate is the naturally occurring mineral that gets into nearby water sources naturally. It is also used to treat bipolar disorder and augment most antidepressants and some anticonvulsants. If it's in the water naturally (in levels a tiny fraction of prescription strength), but sticking it in the water so that the government can try to make people feel better about how bad they f^ed up the country with socialism is not a sound plan to resolve social problems.

Some of it is also there from man made causes.
