talking with your medical doctor, medical doctors are a wealth of information on what chemicals naturally occur in the human body and what foods humans eat that contain lithium and what your own natural /normal lithium level is.
the normal lithium level in general for human beings is anywhere between 0.3 mEq/L and 3 miligrams, depending on each persons own diet, health issues and metabolism process. (mEq/L stands for milliequivelent per liter which is a measurement that doctors use to explain how much of a designated mineral is showing up.)
