Drew. sine you brought up the fact that lithium is used in batteries and grease, I also looked information on it, it has a lot of uses.
In Medicine:
Lithium is used a a mood stabilizer and is a prescribed medication for people that are bi-polar. In fact they were considering putting it in the drinking water recently during the covid pandemic to reduce suicide.
Researchers Suggest Adding Lithium to Drinking Water to Curb...
"The authors of the study say that the next step is to investigate the effects of adding lithium in trace amounts to the water supplies in communities with a high risk of suicide and high prevalence of mental health problems, substance abuse, and violent criminal behavior."
Also from a study In Texas:
"In a seminal study conducted in Texas, communities that had naturally occurring lithium in the drinking water were associated with lower rates of suicide, homicide, burglary, rape, drug-related arrests, and drug dependency compared to communities with little to no lithium in the water supply [2].
Many studies have confirmed lithium’s ability to reduce pathological aggression, hostility, and violence [3-5] and it is one of the only agents approved for hyper-aggression. Lithium’s ability to reduce impulsivity and aggression may be responsible for its significant anti-suicidal properties [6]."
