Study Links Lithium Deficiency to Alzheimer’s Disease, Suggests New Treatment Approach

“The idea that lithium deficiency could be a cause of Alzheimer’s disease is new and suggests a different therapeutic approach.”

“The study raises hopes that researchers could one day use lithium to treat the disease in its entirety rather than focusing on a single facet such as amyloid beta or tau.”

“One of the main discoveries in the study is that as amyloid beta begins to form, lithium loss occurs.”
