Mystery Person,
I did not "hijack" anything. My post asked about others' experiences with lithium orotate, what their doctors have to say about its effect (if any) on kidney function, and since this is the "alternative" forum it seemed sensible to ask whether people are supplementing lithium orotate and if so, with what. Then I described my own experience (on that note, that the lithium orotate continues to work for me).
Before I posted anything to this forum, I lurked for a while on various threads, and there is quite evidently no unwritten rule against submitting a post that includes a topic other than that addressed by the first post of the thread (as, I note, your post did). Indeed, I have never been in any internet fora along the lines of this one where that was the case. Discussing topics related to the original topic of discussion is the natural process of dialogue ... which is a big part of what this forum is about, right? So I don't see discussion of nutritional or lifestyle changes made in conjunction with taking lithium orotate to be very far off-topic at all, and to the extent that they are off-topic, they are so in a way that seems to me to be perfectly appropriate for an exchange of experiences and views in the "alternative" forum.
If there is some secret protocol for posting here, other than what I read when I signed up and other than the basic rule of "be polite," then please share it with me so that I will not unwittingly transgress its strictures.
