He says that lithium oratate enters the brain more readily than pharmaceutical lithium. It would thus be less toxic to the body overall because at therapeutic dosages, a lower blood level is sufficient. I have elected not to make the switch at this time, though. I need to invest more time in the treatment that I am now responding to. Once I am convinced that I am nearing remission with my present regime, I will consider a substitution.
