Lithium deficiency in brain could be catalyst for Alzheimer's.

"Treating mice with the most potent amyloid-evading compound, lithium orotate (LiO), reversed Alzheimer’s disease pathology, prevented brain cell damage, and restored memory."

I will add this study as well for people interested in LiO-

Main Sources of Dietary Lithium

Cereals
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Cabbage
Some mineral waters
Nutmeg
Coriander seeds
Cumin
Black tea
Green tea
Red (rooibos) tea

It is estimated that cereal grains and vegetables cover from 66 to over 90% of the daily lithium consumed. The rest comes from food of animal origin and drinking water.

One study predicted that a vegetarian diet, high in grains, legumes, and vegetables will provide more lithium than a diet that includes intake of animal proteins, but once again this all depends on the soil.
