Hello@petersmithuk.com for some reason I cannot get UA-cam to link to my email so you’ll have to type out the addresses. If you wanted to book an appointment you can also do that directly from my website: www.balancingbrainchemistry.co.uk

You are very welcome

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you liked it! I’ve just started writing the script for my next video, it’s an explanation of the neurobiology of bipolar disorder. It should be posted within a few weeks.

Hi, my name is Peter Smith, my website is www.BalancingBrainChemistry.co.uk

Just seeing your comment now, sorry for the delay. You can book an appointment for an online consultation on my website: www.Balancingbrainchemistry.co.uk

As I understand it Kurt Cobain never actually took lithium carbonate for his bipolar disorder or ADD. He was also using recreational drugs and possibly pills so his brain chemistry would have been very (tragically) messed up. The low dose lithium orotate I use is not strong enough, on it’s own, to fully stabilise bipolar but it doesn’t nave harmful or unpleasant side effects. To stabilise bipolar I combine it with other supplementals to reinforce the effects.

Please explain your question with more detail.

Yes I’m talking about lithium orotate.

Actually in this video I’m talking about how lithium works, in another video I talk about how to make low dose lithium from lithium orotate go further/have stronger effects by combining it with other things.

Yes that’s right too rapid a withdrawal can cause seizures and even be fatal. This is common knowledge and can easily be avoided with a slow taper. The other issue is that even when person does a slow taper that avoids these risks many people still experience terrible withdrawal complications. Benzos alter GABA and glutamate function in the brain and unfortunately many people’s brains are unable to recalibrate GABA and glutamate function back to a healthy (pre-benzo) balance. I’ve met a few people that quickly recovered within a couple of months, for many others their brain will recalibrate over 18 months or so, which is a terribly long time to suffer; but for too many people recovery takes even longer and can even stall or fail to progress at all; this can lead to years of suffering. In my practice I use supplements, diet and other therapies to boost neuroplasticity, There are only a few of us but there are other functional medicine practitioners doing the same. The advice on the internet is terribly behind when it comes to explaining what can be achieved by boosting neuroplasticity. I developed these techniques to treat mental health problems including depression and bipolar and recover cognitive function from brain damage and ageing; than stared applying them to speed slow recovery from benzos and or kick-start recovery in people with static recovery. Some people argue that you shouldn’t use supplements to boost your neuroplasticity and should just wait and ride it out, they believe that supplements can do more harm than good. Well of cause the inappropriate use if supplements could be harmful but the correct use can be healthy. And what about people that are not healing at all, with all their neuroplastic capacity being cancelled out by daily wear and tear in their brain. And how can people heal if they have deficiencies of fundamental essential nutrients like omega 3 oils and magnesium to name but a few. And how can someone heal their brain if they have other health issues, inflammatory bowel disease for example causing ongoing inflammation in their brain impeding their neuroplasticity. I’m saying fixing these issues and enhancing your neuroplasticity can aid a quicker and more thorough recovery. But yes you point about too rapid and cold turkey withdrawal from benzos being dangerous is completely correct.

It sounds like you would benefit from a higher dose of 5 mg twice a day. I made a video all about benzo withdrawal and recovery you might like, I mention inflammation including from Lyme (I think I mentioned Lyme: ua-cam.com/video/JrZw92ZAdn8/v-deo.htmlsi=TeTiKtEQqUWlOhfp

Sorry for wasting your time. I didn’t make the part 3. This is what I do for a living, after I thought it through I decided I would make the whole thing into a course. During lockdown I got busy just earning a living. I’m currently making a new video on bipolar then bey September I’ll start making the course with all the techniques. When I first make it available for sale the price will be reduced, probably about $100. If you’d like to be informed when it’s available you could drop me an email and I’ll let you know.

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments OK. sounds good

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments OK. Sounds good. And you didn't waste my time.

Lithium and iodine antagonise and displace each other i.e. take too much of one and it depletes the other. To prevent iodine deficiency from my lithium I take 500-600mcg iodine (from kelp) most days. Eating a little seaweed is also a good alternative. Don’t take too much iodine it can overstimulate the thyroid.

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments Thank you soooo much for replying. I think your channel is very needed; brilliant. Still waiting for the meditation instruction. 👍🏼💕

You are so welcome. I haven’t posted in a while but I’m starting filming a new video next week. It’s on bipolar disorder but there’ll be frequent mentions of lithium.

So nice of you,you made me blush.

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments are you taking new pts. ? I think I’m going bananas.

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments oops it’s ok you humble sweet man.

Just got busy earning a living, I’m getting back on social media and making a new website soon. Next video will be out within a month.

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments thank you for you kind reply. I’m smiling. You really helped me four years ago. And I’m happy you are working your alchemy. I’ll look forward to your staying current videos. You are a generous fellow. Best of the best.

For speeded up brain add, zinc, glycine, taurine, bacopa, Andrographis, sleep in total (100%) darkness and wear orange blue blocking glasses for a few hours before that. If that’s not enough add D-serine and Sarcosine. My next video will go over all this and more. It’ll be a complete overview of the neuro-biology of bipolar disorder. I’ve been working preparing the material for 8 months, it should be finished within a month.

To be effective the prescription should take into account the individual health issues i a persons body. Eliminating specific sources of inflammation is critical, this varies from person to person. Failure to do this is likely to produce poor results and the results are likely to be undermined by the ongoing issues that are undermining ones neuroplasticity in the first place. Besides the need to individualise each prescription developing stacks of supplements and treatment combinations is what I do for my living in paid consultations; it’s taken me 35 years of study to develop my knowledge in this area. In the future I’ll release the information in video courses available to purchase. If you’d like me to look into your individual health and develop an individual prescription you can book a consultation on calendly.com/PeterSmithUK Sorry if my reply is disappointing…

I don’t understand your comment ?? Can you elaborate.

I don’t understand your question, can you elaborate.

Haha sorry, i am a little lazzy, i asked for one resume....

Idk muxh about benzo but i was taking lyrica for 3 years first 300 then 150 then 75 , now nothing i didnt notice much when stopping except tight jaw

If your testosterone is low then you would want to try other antidepressant substances or combine testosterone boosting substances like fenugreek and strength training with Inositol. I would probably work on boosting testosterone as a first priority. Good luck on your recovery.

@@NaturalMentalHealthTreatments thank you so much for replying. I only just saw it. I should say I am female by the way so I would love to know if your advice on boosting testosterone as a first priority still applies. Thank you again. I love your videos.

It depends on your needs, the severity of your condition and how many other things you are willing to do. If you have severe bipolar and you only you are not willing or able to take a lot of other supportive supplements to reinforce the effectiveness of low dose lithium orotate and take othe supplements that have additional stabilising effects, and use other techniques like great sleep, exercise, brain training and the ideal diet then you should definitely use high dose lithium carbonate. If you’d like me to assess your case and develop an individual treatment prescription I’m available for 1-2-1 consultations online you can book on calendly.com/PeterSmithUK My next video will go into a lot of detail on what bipolar is and what we should target.

Which meds are you referring to?

Yes, you can book directly online from my Calendly link: Calendly.com/PeterSmithUK

This video was me telling my story of mental illness, it wasn’t a discussion about supplements. Also it would literally be dangerous and irresponsible for me share my personal supplement stack. If someone with BD takes a combination of supplements that are too stimulating for them it could flip them up into mania, put them into hospital or worse. You may think I’m being alarmist but I’m not, this happened to two of patients last year; they took antidepressant supplements (SAMe, inositol, carnitine) I had recommended they should not take and they quickly went manic. Even for simple conditions a prescription should be individualised, and BD is famously complex. There isn’t a one size fits all, the stack I take would put some people in hospital. The BD prescriptions I write for my patients consists of 3 prescriptions, one for manic phases, one for depression phases and one for maintenance during euthymic phases. The 3 prescriptions have very different effects and my patients get an explanation on how and when to use each one. My next video is going to explain the biology of bipolar disorder and I will mention some universal mood stabilising treatment approaches. Next year I’ll have a course on managing BD available to buy with detailed instructions on how to personalise the treatment.
